Chapter 36: Killing the Guards
"Pack up your belongings, and you will leave the mausoleum early tomorrow morning." In the room where the girl lived, Gu Xuan relieved the manipulation of the girl with blood.
"For ...... Why? The girl found herself in disbelief as if she was relieved, and her extreme fear was relieved, but she was still slightly uneasy. This uneasiness made her ask Gu Xuan.
"Because if you don't leave, when the Imperial Support Force arrives here, I'm afraid this place will really become a mausoleum."
The girl showed a shocked expression when she heard this, the meaning of Gu Xuan's words couldn't be more obvious, but there were her playmates who grew up here, and there were also her parents. If everything Gu Xuan said was true, she didn't dare to imagine that hellish scene at all.
"I advise you to save your mind, no one will listen to you, unless you want to be buried together." Gu Xuan sighed and shook his head, interrupting the girl's thoughts. There was no doubt that she would have wanted to tell all the people in the mausoleum the news about it, but that was not realistic.
Not to mention the lowest status that the girl can't even inherit the secret arts, the dignity of the guardian alone can't make them give up protecting the legacy left by that great king. At most, it would be the best ending for her to leave the mausoleum with her parents, and Gu Xuan wouldn't care what her choice would be in the end.
There was no choice to kill her, it was just unnecessary. Gu Xuan was not a person who liked to kill, but sometimes he had to do it in order to accomplish his goal. In Gu Xuan's opinion, blindly killing would only lose his heart.
He entered the mausoleum to spend the night, just to make a time difference.
The Imperial Assassination Force is divided into two groups, one is an elite group with all strong strengths, and the other is a strengthened group that relies on drugs to increase its strength.
This time, the troops sent by the Empire were assassination reinforcements, and their strength was not enough to storm the mausoleum, and now the mausoleum is only panicked because of the invaders, which speaks to their defeat.
When one group fails, another team will naturally come and continue to complete the failed task. The elite group where the red pupil is located will definitely rush to support if nothing else.
Every corner of the mausoleum must be well known to the guardians who have lived here for generations, and even if the reinforcement group Dongduo Tibet resists desperately, they can last up to half a day. It was supposed to be this night, and the end that awaited them was either death in the rebellion or capture after the rebellion.
If the rescue does not arrive early tomorrow morning, then the reinforcement group is afraid that it will be cold. Therefore, Gu Xuan will also wait until early tomorrow morning, and then he will start an operation to go to the place where the craftsman's relics are.
By that time, even if the girl revealed his existence, Gu Xuan would have long since disappeared, and it would definitely take a lot of time for the spirit guards to find him. Not to mention tomorrow, these vigils may not have time at all!
Gu Xuan found a chair to lie down and sit at random, nourishing his spirit in a half-asleep state, and also ensuring that the girl could not sneak out at night.
......
Time passed quietly, and the next morning came. Gu Xuan keenly opened his closed eyes, although he was half-asleep, his brain was also fully rested, and he would not feel tired.
There was no morning light spilling in from the window, and because of the geographical environment, at most the visibility inside the mausoleum was much improved.
Standing up to leave, he turned his head to look at the girl who was on the bed. Her eyes were bloodshot, and it looked like she had been thinking about it all night. However, looking at the bags packed beside her, Gu Xuan already knew her plan and made a wise choice.
Pushing open the door, vigilantly observing the presence of the patrol officers, and making sure that no one was there, Gu Xuan jumped forward and jumped down steadily directly from a height of ten meters. Then he rushed to his destination, following the map in his memory and the road without traps.
Very "lucky" that there was no encounter with the patrol along the way and there was a fearless battle, and finally Gu Xuan stopped in front of the road leading to the "Offering Place".
The place of worship is naturally the place where the guardians pay tribute to the great king. There is a statue of the king inside, and the relics of the craftsman are located directly below the statue.
It is said that the craftsman who fused the imperial tool had a close relationship with the great king here. Therefore, the relics of the craftsman were also specially entrusted to the great king to be placed in a secret room, and there should be a certain amount of revenge.
At that time, it had not been long since the imperial equipment was manufactured, and there had not been a situation where the imperial equipment had spread all over the country like now, and even the imperial equipment within the empire was only half. At that time, although the great king obtained the relics of the fusion of the imperial tools, he had no choice but to give up if he did not have the source of the imperial tools.
Then the great king died...... It is very coincidental, although it is not clear whether the empire deliberately sent assassins to assassinate him at the time of unification, but there are many secrets that the great king simply did not have time to confess.
In short, the fall of this mausoleum is an inevitable event. Regardless of whether there is a huge inheritance treasure or not, the empire will not allow them to do so just because of the existence of the corpse earth emperor.
"The Cassius, the Spurs, and Master Garmo have all been sent out to meet the foreign enemy."
"Isn't it! Are those invaders so powerful? ”
"Well, I heard that even the leader of the "chief" is ready to take action himself. ”
"Those intruders really damn it, we haven't done anything all this time."
Hold your breath and hide your figure. Gu Xuan saw two guards at the door of the worship office.
One, two. Gu Xuan secretly measured the skulls on the guards. The person on the left has only one skull, and the one on the right has two skulls, and the guards are one strong and one weak.
It's normal for the enshrinement to have guards, but it's strange that there are only two guards with such weak strength! Gu Xuan could assert that it was definitely the elite group where Chi Tong belonged who entered the mausoleum, otherwise it would not have been possible for this kind of defensive emptiness to occur.
Thanks to this, there has never been a better time. Gu Xuan took out two knives and concentrated.
"Blood crystallization."
After blessing the strength, he rushed out directly. In full force, it was another sneak attack, and in an instant, Gu Xuan had already come to the front of the two guards.
The silver knife flashed, the stumps splashed, and the guard with two skulls on the right didn't even have a chance to use the secret technique, so he was attacked and killed by Gu Xuan.
As for the weaker ones on the left, they have just woken up from this change and are just about to perform the secret arts.
Another whistle of a knife piercing the air, poof, blood gushed out, and a headless corpse fell to the ground.
The two guards didn't even have time to make a sound before they died at Gu Xuan's hands. The difference in attributes is too obvious, not to mention that they don't even have the opportunity to improve their strength with secret techniques.
Next, Gu Xuan didn't even clean up the corpse, and went directly to the worship place.
Inside, apart from a statue, there were no other items for a few kneeling futons. A faint fragrance came, and Gu Xuan's gaze drifted to the root, the burning incense that should be specially used for worship was placed below the statue.
Gu Xuan walked over and knocked on the surface of the statue, made of gold? Searching around, there was no way to the underground.
"Isn't it inside the statue?" Gu Xuan muttered about the possibility, he didn't want this to be a fake news in vain, then the empty environment around him seemed to be only inside the statue, and there might be a possibility of leading to the secret room.
To be on the safe side, Gu Xuan pushed the statue violently, and found that the bottom seemed to be connected together, not moving at all.
It seemed that there was something boring, Gu Xuan no longer hesitated, pulled out his double knives, and aimed them at the statue.
Click!
This statue of the supreme great king in the hearts of the guardians was cut in half by Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan leaned over, and sure enough, the lower half of his body was connected to a deep and dark passage where he couldn't see anything, it seemed that this should be the passage to the secret room!
