Chapter 132: The Seal at the Bottom of the Lake
The Gold Finder, one of the most proud inventions of Mr. Gulyod's twilight years, is a magical thing created entirely with the skill of a craftsman, and the runes it makes are not necessary. In other words, even without runes, the Gold Finding Pointer can be nerve-wracking, but its functionality is limited.
In Tang Dou's understanding, the difference between whether the gold hunting pointer has runes or not is like the difference between paying players and free players.
The difference is really big, but the basic functionality is the same.
The basic function of the gold finder is to look for any high-energy reactions.
This kind of energy does not simply refer to soul power and aura, but refers to any kind of energy that exists between heaven and earth. Or it can be changed to Tang Dou's previous life, that is, multi-frequency energy spectrum scanning.
Everything in the world is emitting energy all the time, and the emission of these energies is itself a kind of sign. The gold pointer is something that tracks this energy, and of course, because of the practicality of the design function and various other factors, the gold pointer can only react to a certain amount of energy.
And any kind of heavenly treasure in this world, a master of soul cultivation, a powerful demon beast, or a man-made artifact, all have a strong energy reaction.
The Gold Finder is a device that is quite sensitive to this kind of energy collapse.
Of course, it was very simple to talk about the principle, but in front of Tang Dou, Tang Dou found that even if he mastered the five runes, including the Nine Spirit Runes of the Rune Ancestor, he still couldn't copy a thing with the same function in a short period of time.
It's like he's discovering a computer that's made up of pure mechanics, and he's got the electronics but can't make anything like that.
In addition to lamenting the skillful skills of Mr. Gulyode, he also felt that the three views were refreshed.
A gold search pointer without a rune engraved on it cannot tell the type of energy, so if the user has a high-level soul cultivator by his side, such as Tang Dou, then the gold search pointer will always point at Tang Dou. After the runes are depicted, a preliminary investigation can be carried out, which can be regarded as having an automatic screening function.
At this moment, it has been half a month after the Battle of the Sand Tooth Country, and the coalition forces have withdrawn, and now the five countries have not yet discussed how to divide the territory of the Sand Tooth Country, so it is just that each country has sent a hundred soldiers to garrison the Oasis of the Sand Tooth Country.
Wait until the people behind you discuss the results, and then talk about how to act.
These 500 coalition soldiers, plus 500 slaves, are all the current population of the Sand Tooth Country, and they have to stay here in case of any unexpected situation (such as an unknown force from the Sand Tooth Country suddenly fighting back, or one of the ten collars suddenly jumping out and occupying the place, etc.).
Of course, it was mainly the five hundred slaves who did the cleanup, and they had to gather those corpses and burn them, although most of the corpses had been disposed of, but in such a large territory, there would definitely be missing corpses. In a wilderness like Arsa, it's not easy for plagues to break out on a large scale, but if they break out in an oasis, it's quite a headache.
An oasis that could have housed more than 100,000 people now has a thousand living people. Five hundred slaves were busy "cleaning", and five hundred soldiers were busy going from house to house to scavenge for something valuable.
Staying in this place is a boring chore, but also a fat chore. Go around the homes of the Sha Tooth people and receive a lot of good things. The main force has only cleaned up the castles of the various big families of the Sand Tooth people, and has no interest in these ordinary "civilians".
In such an environment, the sudden presence of two more people in this place would not attract anyone's attention at all.
In fact, as long as hundreds of people hadn't set fire to the oasis in the first place, or had just collided head-on, it would have been impossible for the thousand people to notice that there were more people in the oasis in the first place.
Tang Dou and Gulyod took the gold pointer and started from the castle of the lord family of the Sand Tooth Country.
As Tang Dou and even many people thought, there were so many good things in the treasury of the Sand Tooth Country, so they must still have something hidden in some secret place. This kind of idea is not uncommon, after all, the treasury belongs to the entire Sand Tooth Country, but as the head of the country, is it possible that Kern's family has no secrets at all?
No one believes it.
However, Kern was killed in battle, and the people of the Kern family were either killed in battle, or they didn't know where Kern hid his things, and the Six-Nation Alliance pressed him for a long time without results, so he had to give up first. Their plan is very simple, that is, after the site is divided, they will dig three feet into the ground.
Then it will be up to whose luck is good.
Of course, generally speaking, according to common sense, the Kern family's private collection should be hidden near the Kern family's castle, and the possibility of digging up the private collection in this area is the highest, so the five countries are now staring at this place, that is, because there is no debate about the ownership of this place, so there has been no specific conclusion.
This is good news for Tang Dou. He wished that the longer the other party argued, the better, this was not only convenient for him to dig up his private treasures, but also more conducive to Tang Dou's differentiation of the relationship between the five countries - now Gusi and he are both targeted, the worse the relationship between the five countries, the better it is for Tang Dou, if the relationship between the five countries is as good as a brother, Tang Dou has to be ready to run away at any time.
"Haha, there's something good!" Gulyod fiddled with the gold pointer for a moment, then laughed, "Look here, there are seven highly active reactions. And all together, that's our goal! ”
Tang Douxi smiled: "This is good news. So master, can you determine the location? ”
"Wait, I need to narrow it down. Well, it's not surprising, it's underground, but it's a strange location. Hey? The location! Guljod looked up, and finally his gaze fell on the large lake in the oasis.
The reason why an oasis is called an oasis is that the key lies in its water source, and a place that can be regarded as its own oasis by a country must have a constant water source, which will not change for at least one or two thousand years.
More than 3,000 years ago, the Sand Tooth Kingdom has been settled here since its inception, and this oasis is not only one of the most stable oases in Arsa, but also one of the oldest. Its history can even be traced back to the earliest inhabitants of the Inner Ring of Alsa.
At that time, the Sandtooth people didn't know where they were.
The source of the Sand Tooth Oasis is a large crescent-shaped lake, which occupies a third of the entire oasis, and its water vapor is so full that even small weather changes can form in one oasis, and after the annual period of major storms in the inner ring has passed, it attracts fog for up to a month. If the inner ring of Alsa is a peaceful environment, it is estimated that the Sand Tooth people can feed their entire clan and tens of thousands of slaves just by charging the landscape tickets here.
Of course, it has been four months since the Great Storm period, and there is no obvious seasonal distinction in Arsa, but outside, at this time, the Heavenly Wind Continent has entered winter, and the entire northern region is covered in snow.
At this time, the crescent moon lake will seem quite peaceful, and there will not be even a little ripple.
Gulyod looked at Crescent Lake: "The target seems to be there!" ”
"Underwater?" Peng Yu was a little surprised.
"At least I see it from the coordinates, but whether it's underwater, or under the crescent lake, I don't know yet! Because I don't know how deep the crescent lake really is! Gulyod said very rigorously, "At present, what I can see is that the thing is hidden more than 300 meters underground, but I don't know if it is the bottom of the Crescent Lake!" ”
"A long-standing lake like Crescent Lake must have an underground water source, so it doesn't make much difference to us whether the bottom of the lake is or not. Since the master is sure that it is there, let's go and see! Peng Yu took the lead and walked towards Crescent Lake.
"Why don't we prepare? Go on like this? You may be fine, but I'm definitely not! "Gulyod has a gold-level rank, but it doesn't mean that he has gold-level combat power. His soul power was completely cultivated when he was building, but he didn't have any actual combat experience.
Good craftsmen are soul cultivators, but not all are good warriors.
Tang Dou laughed: "Master doesn't have to worry about this problem." If you're alone, it's not a problem at all! ”
The two soon arrived at Crescent Lake, and Tang Dou's eyes were sharp, and he saw that a few slaves were cleaning there thousands of meters away. It is common sense that corpses should never be near a water source. Anything in an oasis can be polluted, but the water must not be polluted.
So the first advantage of these slaves is the problem of Crescent Lake.
However, those slaves were guided by their own affairs, and did not see Tang Dou and Gulyod thousands of kilometers away.
Tang Dou took out two sets of equipment from the space, one is a belt with protective ability, this thing can amplify the soul power of the body, and improve the defense ability of the soul power of the body through the energy spar in the belt, but unfortunately the output cannot be increased, and the cost cannot be suppressed, so it can only be used as equipment for special periods and cannot be promoted to the army. Now it's good to use as an underwater anti-pressure suit.
Although Tang Dou felt that there was no problem with the water pressure of 300 meters, many things in this world were unreasonable, and it was naturally better to be prepared than not to be prepared.
The other piece of equipment is scuba. It's just a rune version, using some complex runes, which can make this rune scuba underwater, and can provide two hours of underwater breathing time before the energy crystals inside are exhausted.
After explaining to Gulyod what the two pieces of equipment do and how to use them, the two of them silently dived to the bottom of the lake.
In Tang Dou's mind, the crescent lake was at most three hundred meters deep, after all, the things that Gulyod had discovered were three hundred meters underwater, so it would not be that these things were half-suspended in the water - in fact, he didn't care even if they were half-suspended in the water, in short, it would be good to have the things in his hands.
But when he and Guljod descended to a hundred meters, things went wrong.
"Tang Dou, be careful, you have passed through a spatial barrier!" Qiqi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke.
Tang Dou was stunned at that time: "What did you say?" ”
"Stupid, you have passed through a special space, and you are no longer in the main space of the Thousand Souls Realm, but in a different space, just like your Source of Life space. However, the Source of Life space is a completely independent space, but the space you are passing through is a space that is attached to the main space, and in our perception, it is very likely that this is some space that has been directly distorted and isolated from the main space by a powerful force! The pig began to burst beans and said a lot of technical terms that Tang Dou didn't understand at all, but didn't know how to do it.
"Speak human words!"
"It's that you're wearing a seal. I heard the Lord of the Mirror say, "Didn't you meet Mara before?" The sealing space where that guy is located is something like this! "The pig changed to a way that Tang Dou could understand.
Tang Dou's back was cold at that time: "You mean I entered a seal?" There won't be a pervert in it as powerful as Mara, right? ”
"Then I don't know. I'm just responsible for reminding you! The pig laughed evilly, "By the way, you can't get out now." You can put that Moorish back into the Source of Life space, but it's useless for you to come in, and the next time you go out, you'll still be in this seal. You've been sealed inside, and if you don't break the seal, you won't want to figure it out! ”
Tang Dou's face was about to be drawn into a bun, but he didn't expect to come to dig up the treasure but dig out a seal, what is this called!
"How?" Gulyod gestured towards Tang Dou.
Tang Dou grabbed him, returned to the Source of Life space, and then explained: "Master, there were some accidents, just now we passed through a seal, and we were sealed inside. You wait for me here, I'll go and break the seal and come back, don't worry, it's not a big problem. Oh yes, find the gold pointer for me! ”
Gulyod was a little unsure, but he still gave Tang Dou the gold pointer.
Tang Dou flashed back to reality and entered the seal again.
He grinned: "If you're unlucky, you're unlucky." It's all unlucky anyway, so let's see how unlucky it can be! ”
He continued to dive, and this time he didn't know how deep he had dived, anyway, he had already changed his scuba once, and he finally saw the bottom of the lake.
The bottom of the lake was pitch black, as if there was nothing, but Tang Dou felt that something was wrong, because there was a very strange force at the bottom of the lake, he remembered what the pig said, and couldn't help frowning: "Is there really another Mara or something sealed in this?" What level does that have to be? ”
He estimated the combat strength of his side. Because of the existence of the Source of Life space, he can breathe at any time, and because it is underwater, it seems that the only one who can help is the Snow Maiden. With the strength of him and the Snow Maiden, as long as they don't encounter monsters above the fifth level of jadeite, they should be able to escape.
And since this is a seal, there should be some restrictions on the target of the seal.
Thinking of this, he put his mind at ease again, and informed the Snow Girl through the contract contact with the Snow Maiden to prepare for battle, and then landed steadily at the bottom of the lake. (To be continued.) )
