Chapter 234: Hongming Company
Xu Jie!
Jiang Lai remembered this person, when he was in Yihe Town, it was this person who was responsible for presiding over the auction. If memory serves, he seems to be from Hongming's company. In this way, those men were all commissioned by Hongming Company.
He remembered that Cheng Hua mentioned that the founder of Hongming Company was also a member of the Taoist sect, specializing in collecting antiques and magic weapons. People like this, they all have some unique resources in their hands, no wonder they can find such a secret place.
"Boss, you're here!"
Seeing Xu Jie appear, several men immediately got up to greet him. In addition to Xu Jie, there were more than ten people accompanying him. Jiang Lai, who was hidden in the shadows, took a few glances and found that the team was carrying several large metal boxes, which were very heavy, and he didn't know what was inside.
At this moment, Xu Jie walked alone to the quaint stone door, holding a piece of parchment in his hand, and looked at it carefully. After a while, at his beckoning, several of his men cleaned up all the moss covering the surface of the stone door. Suddenly, the words and patterns hidden at the bottom were all revealed.
Although it was far away, Jiang Lai could barely make out the content on it.
The meaning of those words is very profound, and with Jiang Lai's ability to understand, he can only comprehend one or two, which roughly means that there is a very remarkable thing sealed behind this stone gate, and I advise the world not to open it. However, what exactly it is, is unknown.
However, what surprised Jiang Lai was the pattern on the stone gate, as he had seen this similar pattern more than once.
The tattoo on his back, as well as the hidden pattern in the fragment of the secret record, plus the pattern on this stone door, although they are different, have many similarities. In his opinion, the patterns should come from the same place.
"You get your stuff ready, and you'll do it in half an hour. ”
Hearing Xu Jie's words, everyone responded and immediately got busy. As the metal box opened, piece after piece of equipment was moved out and stacked in the passageway. At the same time, a man moved a drilling machine in front of the stone gate and slowly poked in with a drill bit the thickness of a little finger.
After more than ten minutes, the stone door was successfully drilled through, and the man picked up a probe and carefully reached through the hole. Soon, a picture behind the stone gate appeared on the monitoring instrument. Unfortunately, due to the angle, Jiang couldn't see the display on the screen clearly.
At this moment, Xu Jie and his entourage were all gathered in front of the screen, observing intently. After a few moments, a man spoke: "Boss, what is certain now is that there is no mechanism behind the stone gate. ”
The latter nodded, "Everyone get ready." ”
After a while, with the assistance of various advanced equipment, the huge and heavy stone door was slowly pushed open, revealing a one-meter-wide gap.
A heavily armed man, wearing a gas mask and holding a hand-held instrument, walked in alone. It didn't take long for the man to turn back and say, "No problem, everything is fine inside, you can go in." ”
"Everyone be careful, once you go in, you are not allowed to touch anything without my permission. Xu Jie explained a few words, and then walked in.
Seeing the backs of the group of people disappear behind the stone gate, Jiang Lai immediately followed. Passing through the stone door, he looked around, only to see that inside was a stone room that had been dug out by hand, the area was very large, enough to accommodate dozens of people, and there were several stone tables and stone chairs in the middle, on which thick dust had accumulated.
Behind the stone room, there is a long and narrow road, and Xu Jie and his party are cautiously marching inside. Because they have placed lights on the road, the whole place is very bright.
Jiang Lai walked very slowly, looking intently at the murals on both sides of the road, although they are old, these murals are still clearly visible and lifelike. Due to time constraints, it was not possible for him to take a closer look. So, he took pictures of all the murals with his mobile phone, and prepared to study them when he returned.
At the end of the passage, there was another stone door, which weighed almost a thousand pounds. Moreover, the stone gate seems to be protected by a mechanism and cannot be pushed open.
It took Xu Jie's team more than two hours to disarm the stone gate. Seeing all this in Jiang Lai's eyes, he couldn't help but nodded. These people are very experienced, especially this ancient organ, and seem to know it well. It can be seen that they do this kind of thing a lot.
In the past, he had always felt strange where the magic weapons auctioned by Hongming Company were collected from, and now it seems that most of them probably came from such secret places.
After thinking about it, Xu Jie and the others all retreated to the back, leaving only two masters of the realm of internal strength in the same place, one pushing a door. With the full efforts of the two, the heavy stone door finally opened slowly.
However, when a crack was revealed in the stone door, a sudden change occurred, and a dark green gas suddenly gushed out from the crack in the door. Caught off guard, the two men standing at the door were instantly enveloped in dark green gas, and suddenly, bursts of miserable screams came from inside.
Seeing this, Xu Jie's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly retreated under the crowd to avoid being attacked by dark green gas.
After a while, the screams of the two men gradually weakened, and finally became inaudible, as if they had lost their life. In the blink of an eye, two of his subordinates died, which made everyone's faces extremely ugly, and no one dared to approach.
"Boss, what should I do?"
"Let's find a way to blow the poison gas away. ”
As soon as Xu Jie's words fell, a man wearing a poison gas mask and an exhaust fan in his hand walked forward slowly.
At this moment, in the dark green gas, a strange cry suddenly sounded, and then, I saw a figure flying out of it, instantly knocking the man to the ground.
This sudden change surprised everyone present. Especially when they saw that figure, everyone was startled. Although they all knew that the dark green gas was poisonous, they didn't expect the toxicity to be so violent.
The man's body seemed to be corroded, his face was blurred with blood, his eyes were about to fall off, and he was terrifying, like a wild beast that had lost its mind, frantically killing its enemies.
"What are you doing in a daze, go and save him!"
Hearing Xu Jie's shout, the man in the Grandmaster realm immediately woke up, his body moved, three steps and two steps, quickly rushed to the front, and kicked the person's body away. Immediately after, with a flick of his wrist, a fierce force instantly broke through the air, directly piercing the man's head.
After eliminating the two mutated men, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, when encountering this kind of change, everyone's hearts were clouded, and no one dared to approach the stone gate easily, lest they encounter danger again.
