Chapter 604: The Secret Passage to the Grave
"That's right."
Lu Siya thought deeply, "The Leprosy Village and the Chaocheng gang have been hostile to each other for decades, and the fire in the Leprosy Village has intensified, if you want to join forces without any guilt, it is not so easy, if there is no god realm powerhouse like 'Remnant Sword' Ye Xiaoyue, the two sides will still have trouble."
"Let's wait until we find out first, who is the sacredness of this so-called 'Aji' child!"
Together with Meng Chao, she got into the fork in the road where she couldn't see her fingers.
At the end of the fork in the road, there is a three-dimensional labyrinth that seems to be soaked in ink.
The air-raid shelters, shelters, and underground transportation passages that have been opened up as early as the Earth Age are entangled with the tunnels that the residents of Chaocheng have drilled day and night for half a century, which is enough to make the snakes, insects, rats and ants living underground dizzy.
On the surrounding walls, mottled words left over from the Earth era flashed: suddenly there was a "crackling" flash, ghost-eyed emergency lights; Suddenly, the rock wall was randomly excavated and full of cracks.
Occasionally, a few deformed insects with two heads and three tails would emerge from the crevices of the rock, but they did not dare to provoke the two transcendents, and quickly crawled away with their heads and tails.
Along the way, the two encountered at least seven or eight forks.
Fortunately, Meng Chao left red glow jade powder on Aji's shoulder, otherwise, even if hundreds of people came down, they would all be trapped in this ecstasy array.
Even sensing the ripples emanating from the red glow jade, they climbed high and low, and bent around for a while
In the end, he found a dead end.
In addition to the road behind him, there are black rock walls in front, left and right, and up and down, and there is no trace of artificial excavation.
The ripples emitted by the red glow jade were interrupted here, as if Aji had miraculously disappeared after coming here.
"Strange, my perception should be correct."
Lu Siya frowned slightly, "Aji must have run here, there is not even half a hole in the surrounding rock wall, even if he turns into green smoke, there is nowhere to escape?" ”
"I also sensed the energy released by the red glow jade."
Meng Chao looked around and said thoughtfully, "Sister Ya, do you know where we are, the specific coordinates?" ”
Lu Siya is a prospector by training.
As an expert who often spends ten days and half a month or even more around the underground spirit veins, and has to look for mineral veins and outlets in interlocking, labyrinthine caves, her sense of spatial orientation is naturally far ten times that of ordinary people.
No matter how complex the man-made labyrinth is, it is not as good as the natural karst caves that stretch for hundreds of miles at every turn.
Therefore, Lu Siya firmly remembered the route they were heading, and according to the route, she casually drew a three-dimensional map, clearly marking their coordinates at the moment.
"Although we have been walking around underground for a long time, the straight-line distance is not too far from the alloy gladiatorial arena, at most three or four hundred meters, just ...... Over here. ”
Lu Siya pointed to a point on the three-dimensional map and said, "However, this place is really deep enough, at least more than two hundred meters underground." ”
Meng Chao also studied the topographic map of Chaocheng.
The Alloy Gladiatorial Arena is located in the most prosperous location of Chaocheng, and he knows the surrounding terrain and important facilities well.
Yes, it was clear at a glance: "Hey, aren't we just below the Golden Fang Gang headquarters?" ”
Lu Siya was slightly stunned, and when Meng Chao said this, she also discovered: "That's right, impartially, we are just below the Golden Tooth Gang, this is ...... Is it a coincidence? ”
"I'm afraid not."
Meng Chao's heart moved, and said, "Su Lun said that since his mother's death, there is no such powerful alchemist who can help him concoct secret medicine to suppress his injuries according to Jin Wanhao's condition, Jin Wanhao's physical condition has plummeted, and his personality has become more and more eccentric.
"Especially on his 70th birthday last year, he was a guest of major gangs at the birthday banquet, and he suffered a seizure of injuries and vomited blood, revealing a very weak side.
Since then, he has become particularly sensitive, irritable and perverse.
Originally, together with Su Lun's mother, he had built a large laboratory with very advanced facilities and a high degree of automation directly below the headquarters of the Golden Fang Gang to help him heal and cultivate.
Realizing that his life was short, Jin Wanhao even stayed at home, locked himself in this underground laboratory, and also reinforced and sealed the laboratory, transforming the laboratory into an airtight secret room, even like his ...... Grave.
"Among all the middle and high-level members of the Golden Fang Gang, only 'Red Eyebrow' Su Lun has his special favor, and he can occasionally enter the periphery of this laboratory to help him convey orders and news, deliver supplies to him, and so on.
"The rest of the people, even if it is an old brother like Song Jinbo who has followed him for decades, it is easy not to see Jin Wanhao.
"And even Su Lun can't open the last door to the laboratory, and when he sees the true face of the 'Tyrant Knife' Jin Wanhao, who is described as withered and dying, he can only communicate with Jin Wanhao through a special device through a wall.
Kim told Suren that the final door to the lab would either open from the inside or open automatically after he died, sensing that his heartbeat, breathing, and brain waves were all zeroing out — the only two ways to do so.
"Perhaps, for this first-generation hero who kills too much and has too many enemies, only in this way can he feel a little safe, right?
"At that time, Su Lun had already taken refuge in the monster civilization and was determined to help the alien beast 'whirlpool' destroy the nest city, Jin Wanhao took the initiative to hand over the power, and the turtle shrank to the ground, which was in his arms, he was too late to be happy, and naturally there was no reason to stop Jin Wanhao from doing this.
So, he just pretended to persuade Jin Wanhao a few words, and no longer cared about this underground emperor who was seriously injured and a little mentally deranged.
"Anyway, the underground laboratory is full of high-grade ingredients and cultivation resources, which is enough for Jin Marriott to consume for a long time, and the fully automated medical facilities can monitor his physiological parameters at all times, so that Su Lun knows his condition.
"According to the changes in physiological parameters, Jin Marriott fell into a coma a few months ago, and his current condition is worse than that of a vegetative person, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he will die of multiple organ failure.
After Song Jinbo and the others of the Golden Tooth Gang learned the news, they also rushed to the door of the underground laboratory to take a look, it was indeed a very strong gate, unless it used several tons of high-purity spar bombs to blow up the alloy gate and the surrounding buildings into the sky, it was extremely difficult to open.
"The direction we are in, it seems, is under the 'grave' of Jin Wanhao, this is too weird, isn't it?"
"Meng Chao, come and have a look."
While listening, Lu Siya searched around, as if she had found something, and beckoned to Meng Chao.
Meng Chao's waist was cat, and when he went over to look, he found that Lu Siya had found another red glow jade powder, which was stuck to the black rock wall.
"It's ...... It seems to be hollow. ”
Lu Siya pressed her hands to the rocks around the red glow jade powder, not quite sure.
Meng Chao moved his ten fingers and rubbed them on the rock.
As a Reaper, his ten fingers possess extremely keen perception, and can discern the slightest unevenness in the surface of an object through subtle differences in the sense of touch.
Even the unevenness that is difficult to detect with a microscope can be touched by him.
"Here...... There was a crack, and another, there were four of them, like a door frame, and it was not a rock, but a secret door! ”
Meng Chao tried to exert force on the rock.
The rocks don't move.
He exerted his force from side to side, trying to make the rock spin, or sucking outward, trying to "pull" the rock out.
The rock remains motionless, as if it blends in with the surrounding rock face.
"No, there are very delicate mechanisms inside, and unless you are a master mechanic who is proficient in this way, it will be extremely difficult to open this secret door." Meng Chao said depressedly.
"I'll try."
Lysya pressed her hands to the rocks again.
Wisps of spiritual patterns spread out of her palm prints, and they burrowed through the gaps around the secret door that were unrecognizable to the naked eye.
Soon, the rock silently turned into a pile of black gravel that flowed away like sticky mud, revealing a new passage.
Meng Chao scratched his head.
I almost forgot that Lu Siya is a master at manipulating rocks.
In the face of this kind of mechanism built on rocks, you don't need to know how to open it or the structure of the mechanism, and you can use the simplest method to brute-force it.
Sticking his head out, he glanced towards the passage behind the secret door.
Meng Chao smelled a slightly bloody rancid stench.
It's like a torture chamber that has been used for decades, or a prison where hundreds of souls have died tragically.
Meng Chao couldn't help but shudder.
accidentally touched Lu Siya's arm.
found that Lu Siya also had goosebumps.
The perception of danger caused the two of them to take a step back at the same time, look at each other, and tense their muscles.
"If I'm not mistaken, this secret passage should lead directly to the underground laboratory of 'Badao' Jin Wanhao, which is where he is buried."
Meng Chao muttered, "If the underground emperor of Dragon City had a premonition that his life was short and wanted to sleep undisturbed in the tomb he had carefully built, why, in addition to the main entrance, this tomb would have a secret passage leading directly to the outside world?"
"And who is 'Aji', why does he know the secret passage that leads directly to the tomb of 'Badao' Jin Wanhao, and also masters the method of opening the secret passage?"
"I'm curious about your question."
Lu Siya said quietly, "However, I have a not-so-mature suggestion, the two of us shouldn't move on, go back the same way, find the 'Ghost Bear' Xiong Wei and the 'Remnant Sword' Ye Xiaoyue, and then bring a few hundred Chaocheng warriors down together, it is safer, what do you think?" ”
"Agreed."
Blown by the yin wind at the end of the secret passage, Meng Chao's bone marrow faintly felt a bit of pinprick-like stinging.
He nodded, shrunk into a ball with Lu Siya, and slowly retreated towards the dark entrance of the secret passage.
At this moment, at the end of the secret passage, a piercing scream suddenly came.
Meng Chao suddenly changed color.
"It's Aggie's scream!"
