Chapter 371: Enter the Underground Palace
As one of the seven major families that once dominated the martial arts, it doesn't seem too unusual for the Xia family to have such a secret passage, the Jiang family, the Qiao family, and the few ** When these big sects, which mountain gate or sect, there is no hidden place that is difficult for ordinary people to know.
"Inform the four masters of the Qiao family and those who are still fighting against those monsters, fight and retreat, and gather here. Xia Fei ordered a warrior of the Xia family.
The next order was given to an old man who was quite old, cultivating at the peak of his strength, although he had not yet broken through to the Bao Dan realm, but with his strength, in the chaos of the Xia family today, it was more than enough for self-preservation. The old man turned and walked towards the hall, while the others followed Xia Fei into the hidden passage.
The passage stretches downward, and although the road is quite wide, it is so dark on both sides that you can only hear the footsteps of a group. After walking down for a few tens of meters, an abrupt "pop" sound suddenly came.
Charlene, who was walking in front, stretched out her hand to stop the people around her and said, "Wait a minute, don't leave yet." ”
Only the successive heads of the Xia family and the heirs of the heads of the family are qualified to open the door of the passage, and the only people who are familiar with this place are naturally Xia Fei and a few cronies around her, hearing Xia Fei's words, everyone stopped, Xia Fei walked to a plate of the passage, and after a little groping in the dark, she found a statue of a sheep's head on the wall of the passage.
This is yet another ancient mechanism that is rarely used in today's era of defense systems that utilize the latest technology. Although not as convenient as the electromagnetic defense system, this ancient mechanism has one of the most obvious benefits, that is, it cannot be broken by hackers, and only the person in control of the key can open it.
She placed the disc in her hand into the sheep's head and turned it slightly.
As she moved, the path down the passage lit up every ten meters, and these lights emanated from the raised stone beaks of sheep's heads on the walls.
With the light, everyone could see the situation in the passage clearly.
Just a meter in front of them, rows of sharp spears were piercing out of the ground, blocking the entire passage, more than five meters wide. These long hairs staggered back to the ground, and soon burst out again, if Xia Fei didn't remind them just now, but let everyone walk forward, I was afraid that many of them would have been stabbed by these spears piercing from the ground.
And the lights on the walls, these thorns are also ancient mechanisms. Unlike modern defense systems, these ancient mechanisms are not powered by electricity, and even if they are gone, they will not stop.
The energy is provided by a dark river below the passage, and the flowing water hits the water windmill, and the power of the rotation is passed through the ancient and cumbersome mechanism manufacturing techniques to create the dangerous ground thorn mechanism in front of it.
Looking at the sharp cold light at the tip of the spear, everyone's hearts felt a chill. It's not hard to understand that there are some defensive mechanisms in the hidden vaults of these big families, but when these mechanisms really almost threaten their lives, it's a different way of saying and feeling.
Xia Fei turned the sheep's head on the wall slightly in one direction, and the spurs that kept stabbing out of the ground and making a "snapping" sound slowly stopped moving, and all of them retracted below the ground.
"Come with me, but don't go ahead of me. Xia Fei said and walked forward first.
Seeing the ground thorn just now, who dared to walk in front of Xia Fei, and when they passed through the area of the ground thorn, they were all scared, and their steps accelerated, for fear that suddenly a spear would burst out, and they would die with a whimper.
Along the way, there are many mechanisms that are enough to take people's lives, fire-breathing sheep's heads, and holes for bows and crossbows, so to speak, a person who has no knowledge of this place rashly breaks in, just afraid that it will become a broken corpse under the mechanism in minutes. However, now that Xia Fei, the head of the Xia family, led the way, the group naturally passed through the passage with heavy mechanisms without danger.
Walking to the end of the passage, Xia Fei opened the last door, and everyone's vision suddenly opened up.
They saw a huge dungeon, more than the security bureau's base hidden under the lake, and in the center of the dungeon, there was a palace that looked quite historical. In front of the palace is a square the size of a football field with stone slabs.
What is even more surprising is that there is a three-meter-high statue in the center of the square.
Although the dungeon was magnificent, everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the statue. The statue is already very dilapidated, only half of its body is full, and even then it is not difficult to see that the prototype of the statue is a woman wearing a feather cloak and making a flying pose.
"Here it is...... Is it the Xia family......'s hidden warehouse? It's really ......" A man marveled for a long time, but he couldn't find words to describe it.
There are also those who are lost in thought.
If the Xia family came to Chongqing City twenty years ago, then what is going on with this magnificent underground palace?
"Hey, little Celestial Master, don't you think this statue is a bit ...... Are you familiar?" Feng Qingyun whispered to Zhang Ye.
Zhang Ye was also staring at the statue that was already a little dilapidated at the moment, and said: "It is indeed a little familiar, I remember that I seem to have seen a similar portrait in an ancient book, but that was a long time ago, and I can't guarantee that I remember anything wrong." ”
"Kuzhen, what do you think?"
Kuzhen, who was carrying Ye Huang on his back, looked at the statue carefully, and suddenly turned his head and asked Xia Lin, who was always paying attention to Ye Huang, and said, "Ask the second lady of the Xia family and you will know everything." ”
Xia Lin's gaze shifted from Ye Huang for a moment, and after glancing at the statue, she shook her head and said, "I don't know anything, this is also the first time I have come to this place, and before this, I didn't even know that the Xia family originally had such a vast underground palace." ”
They didn't get any useful information from Charlene's mouth, and the three of them looked a little regretful.
"One thing is for sure, this place must not have been built by the Xia family. Feng Qingyun said very firmly.
After entering the dungeon, Xia Fei said: "It is impossible for those invaders and monsters to attack here, I promise you that I will mobilize all my forces to remove the monsters from the outside world and ensure everyone's safety." ”
Indeed, just now, all the way through, the mechanism on the passage is obvious to everyone, and it is indeed very difficult to get here safely and unharmed through the passage, and the hearts of the group finally relaxed a little, and they began to adjust their state to help some injured people to deal with their injuries in the simplest way.
