"Oh? From this point of view, my brother's current strength is not simple! Bai Qi sat on the chair and looked at Cheng Zhudao in front of him with interest.

Cheng Zhu's right hand had already been taken back, and although he couldn't use too much force, he couldn't tell that he had been cut off.

At this time, when he heard Bai Lu's words, he seemed to recall the previous scene, his body involuntarily trembled slightly, his face that had just recovered a little blood turned a little paler, and he half-knelt on the ground and said, "It's all because of the poor strength of his subordinates, and he has embarrassed the eldest young master." ”

"It's also my brother, if you can't solve it, won't my face as an elder brother be even more ugly?" Bai Lu waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's cold on the ground, you can get up first." ”

Cheng Zhu's eyes suddenly showed gratitude, and he stood up from the ground and said, "Thank you, young master." ”

"Hmm."

Bai Lu replied casually, then looked at Cheng Zhu with a flickering gaze, and said with appreciation: "Speaking of which, I did ask you to do this before, but I didn't expect you to be able to say that those elders in the Dong clan came to give this order, and you really have some ability." ”

Cheng Zhu immediately lowered his head when he heard this, and replied respectfully: "The subordinates borrowed the name of the eldest young master without reporting, and please punish him." ”

Bai Lu put away the faint chill in his eyes, smiled and said, "You did a very good job, how can I blame you?" ”

"Thank you, young master, my subordinates actually have one more thing to report."

Cheng Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his head and looked at Bai Lu and said, "The newly promoted seventh seat of the Adjudication Court has also come to the Eastern Gathering Place, and it is also with the Second Young Master who came over on the Bai family's Wandering Sky Bird. ”

"Yan Hua?" Bai Lu's brows furrowed slowly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure it's him?" ”

Cheng Zhu nodded without hesitation and said: "Although the subordinates don't know what Yan Hua looks like, judging from the age of the other party, the uniform of the Adjudicator on his body, and his title to the Second Young Master, he is definitely the seventh seat of the newly promoted Adjudicator Court." ”

"Yan Hua? This is a bit of a problem. Bai Lu's fingers unconsciously tapped on the table, and asked in a calm tone, "Do you know why he came to the Eastern Gathering Place?" ”

Cheng Zhu replied: "According to the conversation between him and the second young master, his subordinates guessed that the purpose of the seventh seat of the adjudication court might also be Hidden Spring Mountain. ”

Bai Lu's fingers paused slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he asked, "According to the previous agreement, in addition to Bai Qi, there should be two places in the Bai family's hands, right?" ”

Cheng Zhu was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he realized that Bai Lu was talking about Hidden Spring Mountain, and immediately replied: "The Ling family did give the Bai family three places to enter the ruins, and the subordinates were about to find another companion to set off, and when they got to the inside of the ruins, they would look for an opportunity to ......."

"No need to look for it." Bai Lu said lightly, "There are two places left, and I will go to Hidden Spring Mountain with you." ”

"Yes! Well? ”

Cheng Zhu subconsciously responded, and then looked at Bai Lu with a shocked face, "But the eldest young master, your grounding order?" ”

"Huh!"

Bai Lu chuckled disdainfully, stood up from his seat and said, "Since the head of the family didn't say the duration of the lockdown, it means that I can lift the lockdown at any time." Besides, I've been in this courtyard for more than half a year, so going out now shouldn't be considered a violation of his orders, right? ”

Cheng Zhu said with some hesitation: "Then if the elder doesn't agree......"

The atmosphere in the courtyard instantly froze, and Bai Lu looked at Cheng Zhu coldly and said, "Remember that you yourself have sworn allegiance to me, then now you are my subordinate, and I am the eldest son of the Bai family." ”

Cheng Zhu lowered his head in a cold sweat and said, "My subordinates know." ”

Bai Lu retracted his gaze, raised his feet and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and said as he walked: "Hidden Spring Mountain is only a day's journey from here, so you don't have to go back to prepare, just set off with me now." ”

Cheng Zhu looked at Bai Lu's back, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

......

Hidden Spring Mountain is a small hill in the Oriental Gathering Area, named because of the several underground water veins hidden under the mountain.

Although Hidden Spring Mountain is located within the territory of the Ling family, it has always been just an obscure mountain, and if it weren't for the relatively rich freshwater resources here, it might not even have a name.

However, just recently, as the news that the Ling family had discovered a suspected pre-Dark Age relic here spread, the small Hidden Spring Mountain instantly attracted the attention of the entire human society.

Not only did the three super energy academies of Cambrian, Star Energy, and Xinghai commissioned by the Ling family send corresponding personnel to explore, but even the many families in the Eastern Gathering Place also put pressure on the Ling family after hearing that this relic was likely to be a world-class biological research institute before the Dark Ages, wanting to get a piece of the pie.

In fact, with the status of the Ling family, even if these requirements are treated as wind in their ears, there is no problem. After all, the location of the ruins was in the territory of the Ling family, and the discoverer was a member of the Ling family, so even if he wanted to eat alone, no one could tell that it was half wrong.

However, the Ling family's attitude was unexpectedly kind, not only did they agree to let other families join in exploring the ruins at the first time, but they also carefully allocated a quota for each family to enter the ruins without affecting the overall defense capability of the Eastern Gathering Place.

For example, the Bai and Ye families each have three places, while the Mu, Zhang, and Liu families each have two places, and the remaining small families can only get one place.

Naturally, everyone did not have the slightest objection to this arrangement.

As the well-deserved overlord of the Eastern Gathering Area, the Ling family can already be regarded as making enough money for everyone to give up their benefits to the family below, and it is obviously a little unkind to gain an inch.

Besides, the scope of Hidden Spring Mountain is there, and the ruins inside will not be big even if they are large, and a large number of people may not be useful. In addition, each family has to set aside strength to guard against the attack of the Strange Beast, so they can't lose their foundation for a relic that no one knows the situation, right?

Moreover, the head of the Ling family also generously said that during the exploration of the ruins, the Ling family was responsible for the food and clothing of all the participants, and now no one had to take an inch.

Especially after the people of various families came to Hidden Spring Mountain one after another, and saw the tents and various living materials that had been prepared for everyone a long time ago, they had no opinion.

There is a way to eat people with a short mouth, or it may be that the attitude of the Ling family is too good, but the people who participated in the exploration of the ruins gradually felt a little embarrassed.

It's not that those families don't want to benefit from the ruins in front of them, but because more than a month and two months have passed since the ruins came out, but everyone still hasn't even broken the door of the ruins, which is really embarrassing.

The various families finally understood why the Ling family was so generous before, it turned out that the Ling family wanted to gather everyone together to find a way because they couldn't break the ruins.

"After all this time of exploration, I can already confirm that this ruin is a laboratory before the Dark Ages, but now this laboratory is completely sealed off by a superalloy that we don't know, and unless we can break through this shell, even if you spend a hundred years here, it won't help."

In the camp outside Hidden Spring Mountain, a mild-faced young man pointed to a screen behind him and said to the people in the tent, "But this super metal not only has strong corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance, even if it is subjected to a strong impact, it can instantly disperse the force into the entire structure, and it cannot be broken through from the front. ”

"So if you say that, we're just going to do that?" A middle-aged man sitting below said with a sad face, "This should be pre-Dark Age technology, right?" Could it be that after more than 10,000 years of accumulation, we human beings have become more and more regressive? ”

"Well, Elder Zhang doesn't need to be so pessimistic, although we have stagnated in mechanical power technology, but our research in biotechnology is far beyond the level before the Dark Ages."

A lazy voice came from the room, and everyone followed the voice to find a man with a decadent temperament reclining in his seat without grace.

Although this man was wearing neat clothes and his hair was neatly combed, he could recognize from the other party's mouth habits and temperament that this was Yan Hua's teacher - Chen Shui!

Seeing that it was the "bloody dawn" who spoke, the entire tent fell silent in an instant, and everyone had a ghostly expression on their faces.

Chen Shui looked around, and just raised his hand to scratch his hair, which aroused everyone's vigilance.

Especially the elder of the Zhang family, he looked at Chen Shui with a wary face: "What do you want to do?" ”

Seeing this, Chen Shui had to put down his hand in embarrassment, and said helplessly: "Well, don't be so nervous, I just said it casually." ”

Elder Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but he asked with some unease, "Really?" ”

Chen Shui replied angrily: "Of course it's true! Didn't I apologize and promise not to mess around again? What do you mean by doubting me now? ”

"It's not like you made a suggestion to go from the side since the door can't be opened."

A woman dressed in a black robe said quietly, "If we hadn't stopped you at the end, I'm afraid everyone would have been buried alive because of the landslide." ”

Chen Shui's face froze, and then he pouted and said, "A group of superpowers who are at least at the peak of the five-star can be afraid of landslides?" ”

"Of course we are not afraid of landslides, but Brother Chen should also pay attention to whether we are still with juniors?" The woman in black rubbed her eyebrows and said a little tiredly, "And once you go crazy, you always like to fight with us, everyone is really tired, okay?" ”

"Uh......" Chen Shui was speechless for a while, so he had to smile awkwardly and politely, "Well, don't care about these details, let him go in the past." ”

Seeing that Chen Shui's "Criticism Conference" was over, a Ling family elder sitting at the front frowned and asked, "Ye Xiaoyou, can't even Cambrian open this ruin?" ”

The surname is Ye, and he is from Cambrian Academy, so he is naturally the eldest disciple that Pei Luoshi once mentioned to Yan Hua - Ye Xiao.

Facing the question of the Ling family elder, Ye Xiao thought for a moment, then shook his head apologetically and said, "Although I don't know how such a sealed laboratory conducts air exchange, after my investigation, this shell formed by super metal does not have any flaws. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Although I don't know why there was such a high level of material mechanics technology before the Dark Ages, and this technology is unfortunately lost.

But if you extrapolate from the environment at that time, the people who built this laboratory must have built this shell according to the highest level of defense, which means that even if the strongest weapon of humanity before the dark period fell on this laboratory, I am afraid it would not be able to explode it. ”

As soon as the words fell, a look of disappointment suddenly appeared on the face of the Ling family elder and said, "So we can only watch now?" ”

"Not necessarily, although my ability can feed back the external structure of the entire ruin, I can't say what else is missing. After all, humans still need oxygen to survive, so there must be blind spots that we are not aware of. ”

Ye Xiao thought for a while and said, "Now we have to wait for Principal Xinghai to come over, and then use her sand control technique to drag the entire ruins to the ground, so that we may be able to find out where the flaws are." ”。

Elder Ling's expression eased slightly, nodded and said, "Anyway, Principal Sha should be able to arrive tomorrow, and today's meeting will be here first, let's disperse first." ”

Seeing that everyone, including Chen Shui and Ye Xiao, had left the tent, the Ling family elder pressed his temples, and his beautiful face, which had a slight trace of time, was full of tiredness, and he sighed secretly: "This laboratory left by the Cambrian ancestors is really not so easy to open!" ”
