Qi Lichen frowned slightly, this explanation is again.

Looking at this circular fortress, it is a bit like the kind of defense against foreign enemies, it is impermeable, but there are small windows that can be opened, and from above you can see the situation outside.

This village is really incredible, with high-walled compounds for every house.

The more Qi Lichen thought about it, the more strange he felt.

It's just that Aru may not understand this, and he doesn't embarrass this little girl, but he just stared at the fortress for a long time before he asked, "Can I go up and visit?" I have traveled to many places, but I have seen less of this thing. ”

Aru shook her head, "That's not good, the village chief said that this place is not allowed to go up from outside, I don't dare to be the master." ”

"Isn't it to defend against wolves and bears? Why can't you let outsiders go up? Qi Lichen became more and more surprised by Ah Ru's words, as if to confirm his guess, this fortress was not to defend against the beasts in the mountains, but against the enemy.

This village is deep in the mountains, and even if there is chaos outside, the war will not necessarily burn this place.

It may also be due to this reason that the treasure was hidden here by the predecessors, waiting for future generations to find it.

It's quiet, secluded, and never known.

Aru shook her head, "I don't know, the wild wolves and bears in the mountains are here, and I haven't been up before, so I'm also curious." ”

Qi Lichen nodded thoughtfully.

It was night, all the people were asleep, the mountains were quiet, only a lonely moon hung in the sky, and the silver-like moonlight projected the dead branches on the ground, like a ghost.

Suddenly, countless figures came out of various houses and gathered together.

Qi Lichen looked at everyone, "It's all here, right?" ”

Bai Ze took a cursory glance, all the people were there, nodded and said, "It's all here." ”

"Alright, in pairs, go to the houses you haven't been in, and send a signal if anything out of the ordinary." Qi Lichen made a simple arrangement.

And he and Bai Ze went to the circular bunker in the middle of the village.

It was airtight on all sides, with only a small door, locked with huge locks.

If this large lock is broken, then it is very likely to cause alarm among the people in the village.

Bai Ze took out a thin piece of iron from his pocket, put his ear on the lock, listened to the sound inside, and opened the lock after a while, he often breathed a sigh of relief, "There shouldn't be any traces." ”

Qi Lichen nodded, pushed open the door and walked in.

The usual village was already very quiet, but now in the dark of the night, it looked even more eerie.

The lighting of the bunker is not good, it is pitch black inside, and you can't see anything clearly.

As soon as Bai Ze opened the fire fold, he was almost startled by the scene in front of him, there was a Kiritto standing at the door, looking angry and round-eyed, very hideous.

Bai Ze patted his chest, "I'm scared to death, how can there be a bronze man here?" ”

Qi Lichen took a closer look at this bronze man, and his body was patina, and his luster was very dull, he should have been here for a long time.

Bai Ze was just about to touch it, but Qi Lichen suddenly saw a round hole on the bronze man's head, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't move." ”

Bai Ze immediately withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

At that moment, black smoke began to rise from the bronze man's head, and sharp arrows shot out of the small round hole.

Both of them are practitioners, how can they be subdued by such means? As soon as he rolled over, the arrow landed on the wall, and there was a buzzing strife.

Both of them were glad that the arrow did not hit their bodies, otherwise they would have been seriously injured if they did not die with such momentum.

"It seems that this village is really not simple, be careful, there are likely to be other institutions." Qi Lichen said in a deep voice. balance

"Do your subordinates want to pass on the message to others, let them pay more attention." Bai Ze asked.

"It's too late." Qi Lichen shook his head.

The disappearance of those two people may have something to do with the dense institutions in the village.

The two of them stubbornly walked forward.

There was a staircase inside that could go up and down, and it was dark below that it was impossible to see the situation, but there was a faint sound inside, like the desperate sound of a small animal accidentally getting in and being trapped inside.

"Let's go up." Qi Lichen cleared his throat.

The two continued to walk up, from the outside this bunker is quite high, there should be three floors, I didn't expect that there is one floor underground, there should be four floors The two of them continued to walk up, from the outside, this bunker is quite high, there should be four floors, I didn't expect that there is one floor underground, there should be four floors.

There is nothing on the first floor, just a small mechanism, which seems to imply that there are many dangers here, so don't go astray.

But now they just want to know the truth about the village, and they just want to know where the two missing people have gone.

On the second floor, you can see clearly by the light of the fire, there are all kinds of eighteen kinds of weapons.

Bai Ze stepped forward and looked around, then said, "It seems that this village is really not simple." ”

"It seems that they are defending against us outsiders, but why on earth would they do this? Does it have something to do with treasure? Qi Lichen said.

Bai Ze saw a flash of fire suddenly flashing in front of him, and immediately blocked Qi Lichen behind him, "There is someone in front." ”

Qi Lichen looked intently, only to see the firelight flashing, and nothing else was found, "It seems that the people in the village know that we have come in." ”

"If they knew we were coming in and didn't come to drink, what the hell were they trying to do?" Bai Ze suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Qi Lichen knew that this village was not simple, so I was afraid that he wanted to leave them all here.

He turned around and went down the first floor, intending to open the door to take a look, but he didn't expect that the door had been locked, and the iron chain the thickness of the baby's arm, I am afraid that even a strong man would not be able to knock it open.

The men wanted to keep them on top of the bunker, and the only way to get in and out was the door, and although there were small windows, it was not enough for a grown man to pass through.

This bunker is even more dangerous.

Bai Ze looked at it and was shocked, "What should the pavilion master do now?" ”

Qi Lichen said in a deep voice: "For today's plan, I can only walk up and take a look first, I don't know who these people are." ”

"Could it be the prime minister's people who have been lurking here for a long time, or those people from the rivers and lakes." Bai Ze asked.

Qi Lichen disagreed, "We must have been the first to learn about the treasure, who else can do so much in a short period of time?" This village is not something that can be built in a day. ”

Bai Ze'e thought about it, it seemed to be the same reason, but he really couldn't think of anyone else who would target them like this.

Qi Lichen continued to walk towards it, the third floor was still very dark, it seemed to be empty here, but there were many small openings in the wall, if the enemy came, then you could use a bow and arrow to defend here.

Such strict measures did not happen overnight.

The more Qi Lichen looked, the more he understood that here, it was not simple, maybe because of the treasure.

He was about to open the window to take a look, but unexpectedly, an arrow suddenly flew out of the outside and shot straight at his front door.

Qi Lichen immediately turned over and dodged, but the arrow still flew past his face, and it hurt hotly.

Seeing this, Bai Ze immediately stepped forward, "Pavilion Master, are you okay?" ”

Qi Lichen touched his forehead, but touched a handful of blood, which was not bright red, but a little purple-black.

"Toxic." Bai Ze's face suddenly turned very dark.
