Chapter 721: What's in the Wooden Box
The Jade Rabbit Sect Leader handed the wooden box to Wu Song and said, "I've been studying this wooden box before, trying to find a way to open it. But this golden lock is so complicated that I can't find a way. ”
Wu Song looked at the wooden box for a while, held the golden lock in his right hand, and secretly used Yuan Li, trying to shatter the lock cylinder like he had done when he broke into the case room the night before.
But as the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader said, this golden lock is indeed not ordinary, and it can't be broken at all.
Wu Song tried several times, but he couldn't break the lock cylinder.
In the end, Wu Song had no choice but to give up, he lifted the wooden box, and finally said, "It seems that this wooden box can only be broken." ”
They had also thought of this method before, but the Jade Rabbit Sect Leader was worried that there was a mechanism in this wooden box, and if it was forcibly opened, then there would be an opportunity to touch the mechanism and destroy the contents inside.
But now there is really no other way but to take the risk and give it a try.
Wu Song pinched the corner of the wooden box with two fingers in his middle and secretly used Yuan Li on his fingers. He tried to open the wooden box with minimal disruption in case there was indeed a mechanism inside.
The wood used in the wooden box is so hard that it looks like some kind of tree. Wu Song didn't use much force at first, and the wooden box only made a faint squeaky sound, but it was not crushed.
Then, Wu Song increased his strength.
only heard the sound of "click", and the wooden box was crushed by Wu Song. Wu Song held the box high and looked through the hole. By the light of the torch next to him, Wu Song saw that there was a base inside, and he couldn't see what was on the base.
Although the box was crushed, nothing unusual happened, which means that there is no mechanism in the box.
Wu Song put his mind at ease, and with force in his hand, he tore the wooden box open.
After tearing it open, it was found that on the base of the wooden box, there was a pure gold key.
Everyone looked at the key and looked at each other, Wu Song said, "I didn't expect the key in the box." ”
"This key must be able to open an important place, otherwise the city lord of the Goddess City would not have sent the Vermilion Bird Protector, one of the four protectors under his seat, to snatch it. The leader of the Jade Rabbit Sect speculated.
"Yes, now that we have the key in hand, when the people of the city lord of the Goddess City find it, we can have a certain initiative. Wu Song said.
Wu Song put away the key, and next, everyone continued to the Goddess Peak.
At this time, they were still more than three hundred miles away from the Goddess Peak, and if they walked, it would take at least three days.
In order to avoid being recognized and attract the demon clan to catch them, Wu Song and the others slept in the wild at night. During the day, eat at a roadside shop.
At noon on the third day, the people came to a town. Crossing the town, dozens of miles away, a large mountain appeared in front of everyone. That big mountain is the Goddess Peak, which is the highest mountain within a radius of thousands of miles.
The group entered an inn in the town and sat down at a table.
Wu Song and they can't speak Xizhou, and as soon as they open their mouths, they will definitely be recognized by the store as Terrans, so every time they enter the store to eat, they will be greeted by the wolf.
Wu Songdu was wrapped in a robe, covering himself tightly from head to toe, and wearing a huge hat on top of his head.
The shopkeeper came over, "A few guest officers, what do you want to eat?"
The wolf ordered the meal, and the shopkeeper wrote it down one by one, "Okay, a few guest officers wait a minute." ”
After speaking, the shopkeeper turned around and was about to leave.
Just then, a gust of wind blew through the door. Yun Rong was closer to the door, and the wind blew a corner of her robe, revealing a snow-white arm.
The shopkeeper glanced at Yun Rong's arm and couldn't help but look at it twice.
"Xiao Er, go and prepare a meal, what are you doing here?" said the wolf.
The shopkeeper hurriedly turned around and left, just kept turning back here as he walked.
Yun Rong had already put down his robe, but the scene just now, the shopkeeper must have seen it.
There are many types of demons, but no matter which type, the limbs are clearly different from those of humans. Even the demon clans such as Beizhu, Suzaku Protector, and Jiangwolf, which are most like the human race, have obvious differences between their arms and the human race, which can be seen at a glance.
Just now, Yun Rong inadvertently showed his arm, and when Dian Xiaoer saw it, he must have seen that Yun Rong was not a demon clan.
"It's not good, you see!" Wu Song pointed to the shopkeeper in the distance.
Everyone looked in the direction that Wu Song was pointing, and the shopkeeper was standing next to a table of customers, and then lowered his head to talk to one of the demon clans.
There were five guests at that table, all of whom were wearing uniform uniforms, and it seemed that they should be the demon clan here to catch fast.
"Let's go!" Wu Song immediately said.
They were just about to get up, when one of the demon clans in the group of demon clans said loudly, "Who are you?"
Wu Song glanced at the general wolf and asked him to take the others away first, and Wu Song stayed behind to drag the group of demon clans to catch quickly.
The wolf understood and nodded.
The group of demon clan catchers walked quickly here, and one of the demon clan catchers should be the leader, shouting from afar, "What about you? Who are you? Those few wearing hats, take down all the hats." ”
Wu Song picked up a teapot on the table, and with the secret luck of Yuan Li in his hand, the teapot was shattered and turned into more than a dozen pieces.
Wu Song pushed his palm, and the dozen or so fragments all hit the group of demon clans.
At the same time as Wu Song hit the pieces, he grabbed the bench where the wolf general was sitting and threw it towards the group of demon clans.
Then, the wolf ran with the others to the outside of the inn.
The group of demon clans was first hit by Wu Song's dozen fragments, the fragments were very brittle, and they couldn't cause much damage when they hit those demon clans.
However, the strength in Wu Song's hands was too great, and after those fragments hit the body of the demon clan, they all felt very painful.
After that, the wolf's wooden bench was knocked over, and the two demon clans were immediately knocked to the ground.
Wu Song jumped up, rushed in front of the group of demon clans, and punched one of the demon clans.
The demon clan was caught off guard, where could it dodge, was punched in the chest by Wu Song, was beaten upside down and flew out, blood spurted out of his mouth, fell to the ground, unconscious.
The other demon clan relieved himself at this time, drew a knife in his hand, and slashed at Wu Song's neck. Wu Song dodged sideways and slapped his palm on the blade. This palm contained the powerful power of the demon, and the demon clan's tiger mouth cracked, and the steel knife fell to the ground.
Wu Song lifted the steel knife with his toes and kicked it away. The steel knife roared away, and with the sound of breaking through the air, it stabbed into the left leg of another demon clan.
"Ahh
In the blink of an eye, Wu Song defeated the four demon clans, and there was only one demon clan left in the field, and that demon clan was the leader of the demon clan who shouted at Wu Song and them.
Seeing that Wu Song defeated his subordinates in the blink of an eye, the leader of the demon clan was frightened and hurriedly turned around and prepared to flee.
Wu Song picked up the two chopsticks on the table and shot them out.
The chopsticks hit the demon clan's buttocks, and the leader screamed and fell to the ground.
After making sure that all the demon clan catchers were knocked to the ground, Wu Song left the inn and chased after the wolves.
The wolf didn't go far, Wu Song caught up with them after a while, and everyone continued to rush towards the Goddess Peak.
They have been discovered by the demon clan, so there will be a large number of demon clan hunters chasing after them. Therefore, Wu Song and the others did not dare to take the main road, but walked along the path in the forest.
But it doesn't matter, anyway, they're not far from the Goddess Peak now.
An hour later, everyone came to the foot of the Goddess Peak. The Goddess Peak is a sacred mountain, and it has a very important status in the hearts of the demon clans within a radius of thousands of miles nearby.
The wolf had come here with the people of his family before, and had visited the lord of the Goddess City, so he knew the arrangement here.
The Goddess River originates from the Goddess Peak, the source is on the top of the Goddess Peak, and the Second Goddess City is on the mountainside of the Goddess Peak, so if Wu Song wants to reach the source of the Goddess River, they need to pass through the Goddess City first.
The city lord of the Goddess City has arranged a large number of people near the Goddess Peak, which can be described as heavily guarded.
The wolf told Wu Song about the situation, and sure enough, when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw from a distance that there was a group of soldiers guarding the road leading to the top of the mountain.
Anyone who enters to enter the Goddess Peak needs to show something to the soldiers.
"It was the entry and exit document personally issued by the city lord of the goddess city, and without that document, it would be impossible to break in. What we're looking at now is just the first level, and after that, every five miles, there will be a level.
Before we reach the Goddess City, we need to go through a total of seven checkpoints. Don't say that with a few of us, even an army will come over, and it will not be able to attack this easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack mountain road. "Will the wolf say.
Wu Song had to admit that he was right about the wolf.
"So what do we do now?" The Jade Rabbit Sect is the main sect.
"Let's take a long look at the long term by hiding in the nearby forest. Wu Song said.
There is a large forest at the foot of the Goddess Peak, which is perfect for hiding. They entered the forest and came to a lake.
The lake water was clear, everyone was sitting by the lake, Yun Rongningyan ran a little farther away and began to wash the dust on his face.
Wu Song and the others began to discuss how to climb the Goddess Peak, and it was obvious that they couldn't walk in front of them, so they could only climb the mountain from other places.
But from which side is it more likely to be successful?
The only wolf of all the people had been here, but at that time he was from the front of the Goddess Peak, and he didn't know anything about other paths.
The others hadn't even gone up to the Goddess Peak, so naturally they didn't know anything.
Just when everyone was at a loss, suddenly there was a burst of singing in the forest.
Wu Song's heart sank, and he let everyone else hide. Wu Song and the wolf each hid in a tree and looked in the direction where the song came from.
It was a woman's voice, which sounded tactful and seemed to be an innocent girl.
But Wu Song understood that now that it was about to fall at night, no girl would dare to enter such a huge forest.
After a while, a slender figure appeared by the lake, and under the light of the disappearing sun, Wu Song saw that this person was the Vermilion Bird Protector who had fought with him last night.
The Suzaku Protector didn't seem to notice anyone in the forest, and when he reached the lake, he sat down and took out a bottle from his bosom.
