Chapter 32 The heroes in the arena steal treasures, and the ghouls outside the village fight
Two days later, a group of six of us set off. According to the plan, we will go to Snowdonia Mountain together, and then we will go separately. Snowdonia is the highest peak in Wales, more than 1,000 meters above sea level, and the scenery here is beautiful and pleasant. In addition to the rugged peaks, there is also a natural lake, Lake Barra. If it's not for something important, it's a great place for a vacation.
We got off the bus about two kilometers from the Kerrut estate and prepared to split up. I found a piece of high ground and looked at it from afar, and the whole estate was unobstructed, as if it was one with the mountain peaks. In front of the manor there are flower beds and woodlands, which reflect a kind of aristocratic style.
Old Man He and I took our equipment and started walking around the cliff at the back of the manor. Mitsui and Beichen went to find the location where the car was hidden, ready to respond at any time. Glasses and Chiyoko drove directly to the estate to participate in the auction as invitees.
Along the way, I saw that Old Man He had been carrying a large square wooden box, like the box of the Saint Seiya in the cartoon, and there were sounds from time to time, as if it contained living creatures.
"Old man He, what kind of treasure is in your box?" I asked, a little curious.
"This is the old man's secret, I can't say it now, but you'll know it then." He Zijin smiled and sold a pass.
Old Man He and I successfully went around to the top of the hill at the back of the manor, although there were guards, but after all, outside the village, there were no dangers all the way to avoid danger. We secured the rope from the top of the cliff and descended to the spot where Old Man He had last backfilled the hole, where there were several protruding rocks for us to settle on.
"Xiaolong, the treasure has been stored, the treasure has been stored. Receive a response. "The sound of glasses came from the wireless headset.
"Roger. Get ready to work, stay connected. I replied, "Mitsui Mitsui, how are you doing?" ”
"We're in place, waiting for the signal to answer at any moment." Mitsui replied.
"Old man, although this is a backfill hole, most of the mountain is gravel, and it is estimated that it is enough to rely on manpower, now it's time for me to see your unique skills." I said.
"Okay, let's see my secret technique of digging up the earth. Rise! He Zijin said, opening the big wooden box, and at the moment when the wooden box was opened, a beast squatted on his shoulder, looking at me with smart eyes.
I took a closer look, and the beast was less than half a meter long, with scaly armor on its belly, short tail, a pig-like mouth, white hair, very thick limbs, and long nails shining like metal. "What kind of monster is this, do you rely on it to dig holes?" I asked, somewhat incredulous.
"Don't underestimate it, this is the 'Mountain Scales and Armor', it is the secret technique of moving the mountain to feed, and it is a great help for me to dig stones and penetrate the soil when I usually go to the tomb." He Zijin said confidently.
"That's amazing! Let's get started. "I kind of can't wait to see it.
"Okay, here we are!" He Zijin took out a green cake and gave it to the little beast to eat, and the little beast's eyes became brighter, flashing with a burst of golden light. Leaping from his shoulder to the mouth of the cave, the claws flew over, and I was stunned to see that I gave a thumbs up.
The words are divided into two ends. As we got started, the auction was in full swing on the glasses. He and Chiyoko are delaying the auction process as planned, and the two frequently raise their cards to bid. Although there are occasional worries about overbidding, there are only a handful of people who can come here, and there is no embarrassment that the treasure is actually photographed.
At this time, Chiyoko seemed to have discovered something and reminded her glasses. Looking to the left, I saw a blonde foreigner with only his right arm bidding, although everyone was wearing masks, but this person should be familiar to them.
"Xiaolong, there is a new situation, I see an old friend." Glasses spoke.
"Aren't they all wearing masks, how do you recognize them?" I replied.
"Even though they're all masked, with his blonde hair and broken left arm, I'm sure he's right." Glasses analyzed.
"Miller? I didn't expect him to be there, and I hope his target isn't us. Be careful. I was a little worried.
"Understood. What's going on over there, the third one is shooting, and the speed is going to be accelerated. The glasses replied.
I turned my head to look at Old Man He and replied, "It's coming, I'll give you a signal then." ”
"When I arrived, I got through immediately." He Zijin said. I was about to reply, but he interrupted me, a little surprised, and said, "Oops, this time with the addition of steel plates, this sound should be about an inch thick!" ”
"What! The owner of this manor is really not simple, and he actually installed steel plates. Old man, can you break it? "I was a little surprised, too.
"Yes, but it will take some time." He Zijin gave the "Dividing Mountain Scale Armor" a kind of yellow cake-like substance, and saw that the limbs of this little beast were much thicker than just now, and the claws had grown a little longer and become sharper.
"Glasses, things have changed. The treasure trove floor is equipped with steel plates, and we need some more time. I hurriedly replied to my glasses.
"The fourth piece is about to start shooting, it won't last long, you guys hold on tightly!" The glasses were also a little anxious.
At this time, our side also reached a critical moment, the hind limbs of the "Dividing Mountain Scale Armor" supported the ground, and the front paws scratched hard, although it was a little difficult, but it gradually planed the steel plate. I was impressed in my heart, moving mountains is worthy of being one of the four major tomb robbery sects, and there are indeed places that ordinary people can't reach.
"Long Sang, something is wrong. We found the manor dead, as if there was something very evil in it. Be careful! Mitsui's warning voice sounded in his ears.
"Got it. Ten minutes later we drove to the back of the estate to pick up and we came down from the cliff without turning on the lights so as not to be exposed. Glasses: You retreat in five minutes. I said to them through a headset.
"Roger!" Glasses and Mitsui replied separately.
The steel plate was finally broken, and I immediately climbed up from the hole that could accommodate one person, and at a glance I saw the target of this trip, the "Qin King Bailong Bell". I was already a little surprised to see the shape of this treasure on the copper plate before, but this time I can almost describe it as shocking to see the real thing.
The bell is about two feet in diameter and more than three feet high, and its whole body is turquoise, giving off a jade-like luster. More than 100 flying dragons coiled around the body of the bell, the dragon horn dragon whiskers are lifelike, and a mysterious bird lives at the top, spreading its wings and ready to fly. The base is about an inch thick, and there are many pre-Qin inscriptions engraved with it.
I didn't have time to sigh more, so I put the bell on a shockproof and waterproof cloth bag, hung the net cable and lowered it into the hole, and then carefully escorted the two with He Zijin to exit the thief hole. Mitsui had already parked the car at the bottom of the cliff, I put down the "Qin King Bailong Bell" first, and then slid down to the bottom of the cliff with He Zijin using a rope, and Mitsui drove back and left immediately.
Just drove out a short distance, Beichen shouted coldly: "Stop!" Mitsui suddenly braked suddenly.
"Yi Nan, what's wrong?" I asked. Beichen pointed his hand into the distance, "Damn, the glasses are in trouble!" "Following the direction that Kitachen pointed, we saw that the glasses and Chiyoko were blocked outside the manor. The four black-clothed men on the other side, as well as an animal like a bear, were really demonstrating with their teeth and claws at this moment.
I took out a note and handed it to Mitsui, "Mitsui, you and Mr. He send things to this place, someone answers, and then wait for us there." Yi Nan and I went to pick up the two of them. Mitsui wanted to say more, but Old Man He said in a deep voice: "The overall situation is important, go!" Mitsui gritted his teeth, "Be careful! After saying that, he flew away.
Beichen and I quickly approached, ambushing in the grass and waiting for an opportunity. "Where are you going in such a hurry? Want to leave before the auction is over? A middle-aged foreigner wearing a black rice aristocratic suit and holding a civilized stick said compassionately.
"Count Gary, we don't see that we are interested, so we want to leave early, what, is there anything wrong?" The glasses got out of the car and replied with a smile on his face.
I glanced at Beichen in surprise, only to hear Count Gary sneer: "Hmph, I'm afraid you are interested in the fifth treasure, hand it over and let you live, otherwise I will feed you to my cave bear corpse!" ”
Count Gary had a haughty look on his face, and I felt that their faces were unusually pale, without a trace of blood, and they did not feel like they were alive. "That's what came from him and the bear." Beichen said softly.
As he spoke, the conversation between Glasses and Count Gary had broken down, and a scuffle began. I was about to step forward to help, but Beichen stopped me and motioned for me not to move yet. I was anxious, but I could only listen to him first.
The three black-clothed men urged the cave bear corpse to pounce on the glasses, and the giant beastman stood up more than four meters long, waving his giant palms and whistling in the wind. Glasses and Chiyoko are not mediocre people, with a flexible body to dodge frequently, Chiyoko pulled out the "Nata Knife" and attacked the three men in black, and the company broke their control spell.
Although the "Natuo Knife" is ranked at the end of the ten artifacts of the Wa Kingdom, it is not an ordinary mortal weapon, and after several attacks, the three black-clothed men gradually became a little unable to resist. Only a scream was heard, and one of them had already died under Chiyoko's knife, and his control over the cave bear's corpse was immediately weakened a lot.
At this moment, Count Gary's body suddenly changed, his nails became black and sharp, the corners of his mouth showed sharp canine teeth, and his eyes turned gray. He roared and rushed towards Chiyoko at great speed. Chiyoko was so frightened that she didn't have time to dodge, and blocked it with the "Natuo knife", only to hear the sound of "bell", flew a few meters upside down, and slammed her back into the car door.
Chiyoko spat out a mouthful of blood, apparently suffering internal injuries this time. The glasses are in a hurry, and I want to come to the rescue, but I can't get close to the giant bear. Seeing that the victory was decided, Earl Gary raised his head to the sky and roared.
I could not hold back any longer, and was about to leap out, when a ghost cry came, and something flew out of the darkness with a "swish", and shot it like an arrow at Earl Gary. Earl Gary didn't check, hit his flank, heard a "bang", flew a few meters away, and lay on the ground.
Two men walked in the distance, both wearing wide blue cloaks. "Old fellow, I've already asked you to hand over your things, and now I know how powerful the 'Yin Blood Ghost Descending' is!" One of them said triumphantly.
Count Gary struggled to get up, pointed at him and said angrily, "It's you! ”
