Chapter 440: An Inexplicable Alarm

The area of the cabin was only five or six square meters, and Ma Shuo, who had carefully drilled through a few gaps in steel wires, curled up in the innermost corner of the wall, breathed a sigh of relief.

There were seven of them just to see at the door, though he guessed that the further in, the more they were. But I still didn't expect that in this small and simple wooden house, there were more than 50 steel wires.

If it weren't for the unusually soft body that Ma Shuo has exercised in recent years, I'm afraid he would have to choose to return the same way.

But the more he guarded like this, the more curious he became. However, his curiosity was only reserved for a short time, after all, if he couldn't find the biotite he needed, no matter how precious it was, it would be useless to him.

There are so many treasures in the Black Mountain Castle that even a mountain of gold would be useless garbage if it weren't for what he lacked the most!

Quickly adjust your mindset and hear the patrol outside the house leave again. Ma Shuo checked little by little in the corner where he couldn't see his fingers.

This is the largest small space in the house, about only about one cubic meter. In the case of ruling out the possibility that there may be any passage to the roof, only this is the most likely to hide the passage.

After pondering for a long time, he finally used his fingers to pick out a moving piece of wood in the corner where his back was. Carefully put his finger in, and when he touched the innermost bulge, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer was heard outside the house again.

Immediately held his breath and was vigilant, patiently waiting for the patrolman to go around and leave far away, before gently pressing down on the bulge.

In the next moment, I only felt that the wooden board under my buttocks was "clicking!" There was a faint sound, and the corners of Ma Shuo's mouth instantly turned up slightly.

Sure enough, there are indeed some hidden secrets in this well-guarded and dilapidated wooden house. And from the traces of the ground he groped, he could feel that if he wanted to enter the ground from here, his body would have to be much softer than that of ordinary people.

Get up quickly, and the whole person is like the word "factory", clinging to the dense steel wire.

Then he reached out and grabbed the corner of the wooden plank on the ground and slowly pulled it away, as if it had not been opened from here for a long time, and there was a faint and piercing sound of "squeak!" at the hinge.

Immediately, Ma Shuo was shocked into a cold sweat, and the movements in his hands stopped instantly. The whole person froze in place with strange movements, and suddenly cursed in his heart: "Damn!"

How long has it been since it has been opened! Just as Ma Shuo's movements stopped, the patrol team that was almost at the door suddenly stopped and discussed.

"What's going on?"

"What's going on? ”

"No, there must be a voice. ”

"Hey, hey, hey, you bastard, haven't you been looking for a woman for a long time, and you're not in your right mind?"

"Me. ”

"What is moving, alas, the crickets over there, did you hear it?"

"Well, that's the right direction, but it sounds like this. ”

"Let's go, let's go, what's good in a blacksmith's shop? It's early in the night, don't be an idiot!"

The voices of the two slowly faded away, and at the moment when Ma Shuo calculated that everyone was the farthest away from here, he grabbed the wooden board with one hand and pulled it up suddenly. I only heard a soft sound of "squeak!", and the wooden plank, which was nearly eighty centimeters long and wide, quickly opened against the bridge of Ma Shuo's nose.

After waiting patiently for a while, the footsteps of the next group of patrolmen slowly approached, which also made Ma Shuo breathe a sigh of relief.

Slowly descended to the ground along the iron ladder under his head and feet, and after turning over and down-to-earth, Ma Shuo groped for his surroundings.

It is a hand-excavated basement, which is made of mud on all sides, and there are wooden pillars about every two or three meters to support the soil overhead.

The back of his hand took out the night pearl he was carrying, and under the faint blue light, he walked along the vaguely visible front.

There was a wooden door hidden three or four meters away, and when he gently pushed it open and looked inside, Ma Shuo slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

There were two rows of wooden shelves as far as the eye could see, and a quail-egg-sized piece of Ugin was placed nearby, indicating that he had found the right place. When he took the first step into the door, he suddenly felt the floor under his feet sink slightly, and Ma Shuo stopped instantly.

Holding his breath and being vigilant all over his body, he observed everything up and down, left and right, and found that there were no strange changes, and only then did he exert a slight force under his feet again.

"Whew!" he muttered in a low voice while breathing a sigh of relief again: "The floor is a little falling off, and I thought it was stepping on a mechanism." ”

For Ugin, who was so popular in the eyes of others, Ma Shuo didn't even raise his eyelids. The blue light of the Night Pearl was very faint, prompting Ma Shuo to only pull the distance as far as possible in order to see what was on the wooden shelf as soon as possible.

At the same time, he kept muttering: "Blue steel, composite titanium ore, tungsten iron ore." Neither!"

Suddenly, Ma Shuo's movements stopped suddenly, these were all metal minerals he had just found, and Ling Shuang told him that biotite was a crystalline mine.

After thinking about it, he immediately changed to the second shelf behind him, and saw that the first one in front of him was Xingchen Quartz.

This made the corners of Ma Shuo's mouth can't help but curl slightly, it seems that the ores in the warehouse here are indeed placed according to the classification of metal and non-metal, as he thought.

In this way, Ma Shuo's search speed couldn't help but speed up by two points, and at the bottom of the sixth vertical row of the wooden shelf, he finally found a piece of biotite the size of an apple.

The whole crystal is as black as ink, like a mountain of black crystals with sharp edges and scales. The fact that it reflects almost no light at all is so abrupt in all crystalline ores.

But what Ma Shuo didn't expect was that this biotite was so big. With the cloth bag on my body, I am afraid it will be difficult to take it away in one piece.

After hesitating for a moment, greed finally prevailed. While pulling out a meter-square black cloth from his arms, he also made an excuse for himself in his mind: "Perhaps, it can be used in the future?"

The inner three layers and the outer three layers are tightly wrapped together with the base, and the back is firmly tied on the body and returns the same way. But when he took a step out of the room and closed the wooden door to the original level with his backhand, he seemed to hear a "click" under the door.

"Not good!" Dangerous thoughts flashed in his head, and he didn't think about anything else, so he turned around and ran!

Two steps up the iron ladder didn't even have time to close the small door, three or two times through the layers of wire traps to the door, the noise of the rapid approach outside made him stop immediately, and hide in the shadows without moving, thinking quickly.

He wasn't worried if the men would catch him, because he would be able to escape quietly. If he doesn't want to understand this question, he will suffer a lot in the future!

"Stride, stomp!" The footsteps of more than a dozen people gradually gathered around, and a man who was anxious and calm ordered in a loud voice: "Hurry up, don't let the thief escape!
