Chapter 386: Empty Box

Looks like it's very well defended, so we'll have to go in and check the situation.

"Send someone to shut down the mechanism inside, let's go in and have a look." After hearing Grandpa Xu Fu's order, a soldier immediately ran over to close the mechanism. After a while, the lights started to brighten, and it looked like we were already able to get in.

"Master Xu Fu, for the sake of safety, I'll take someone in first." Just now, the captain took the initiative to take people in for a spin, and soon he brought people out again, they didn't have anything to do, it seemed that the organ had been completely closed.

"Deshui, what do you think about things here?" My uncle didn't rush to answer Grandpa Xu Fu's question, but continued to walk around this secret room. There really wasn't a trace to be seen here, not a single footprint, not even a single hair.

How could anyone enter here, the walls here are also made of multi-layered Heavenly Destiny Stones, and there is no possibility of being destroyed at all. What the hell is going on here, if only there were monitors, there is no need to guess here now.

"Uncle, have you found anything?" I asked curiously.

"Not yet, but I have a problem, the soldiers heard the roof tiles coming from the roof and realized that the secret room here might have been stolen. But I don't know if there is a place in this chamber that connects to the roof, maybe the enemy ran in from here. ”

When my uncle asked, the soldier next to him looked a little embarrassed.

"Returning to the military division, there is indeed a passage to the rooftop, but I don't think the enemy can enter from here." If the soldier said there was a passage, why did he say that he couldn't come in from there?

"Let's be more detailed."

"Yes, Strategist, there's a little ventilation pipe here that connects to the exhaust holes on the roof. Both facilities are designed to prevent damp gases from concentrating in this chamber and compromising the preservation of the elixir. But the thickest part of that ventilation pipe is only the thickness of an arm, how can a person move freely in it, and what kind of clavicle surgery can be triggered by it. ”

Clavicle surgery, it's unlikely. My uncle didn't make a judgment, just lowered his head and continued to think about the problem.

At this time, my uncle's eyes lit up, and he seemed to think of something. "Whoever says it must be a person who comes in, can't it be something else? Come, take me to the ventilation pipes here, maybe you'll find something. ”

The soldier led my uncle to a corner of the secret room, where there was a small secret door in the ceiling, and when it was opened, a ventilation pipe really appeared. The diameter of the tube is small, and at its thickest point it is the thickness of an arm.

My uncle put on his gloves and started to check on the ventilation pipes. Soon, my uncle seemed to have made a discovery. In the narrow ventilation pipe, my uncle found a handful of gray hair. The fur looked dirty, like the fur of the rat.

"What is this thing's hair, is it a mouse's?" The soldier next to me preemptively asked.

"Elephants, but not necessarily." My uncle was very cautious.

"No, there are a lot of small fences in the ventilation pipes here to prevent rats and other things from entering. It could be that a trained rat has infiltrated this place and stole the elixir of immortality. The soldier next to him said puzzled.

"I'm just saying like a mouse, it doesn't have to be a mouse. But one thing you're right, this thing must have been trained for whatever it is, and the fence inside the ventilation pipe must have been broken so they can come and go as they please. ”

And rat-like things, that's what. My uncle didn't say what he thought, but ran to the box containing the immortal elixir to check on the situation.

The box looked sturdy, with a bronze casing on the outside, and was supposed to have a trap lock, but it was now broken. What the hell has sneaked into here, it seems to be more skilled than a thief at picking locks.

When my uncle opened the box, it was empty, and there was no trace of the elixir of immortality. My uncle had no clue how the box was opened, so he could only pick it up by hand, hoping to find some new clues.

At the moment when my uncle picked up the box, my short sword suddenly made a shock, no, it was dangerous. I don't have time to tell you, so I can only support the lightning barrier with my hands, hoping to protect the people around me as much as possible.

Sure enough, just like the reaction of my short sword, the moment my uncle picked up the box, all the mechanisms were activated. What's going on, shouldn't the agency have been shut down, how could it take the initiative to attack us? I didn't have time to find the answer, for countless bolts had already begun to shoot at us. And there was no longer a small pillar of fire on the ground, it completely turned into a sea of fire.

"Damn, are we fooled again." My uncle said viciously, but there was nothing he could do. I didn't have time to pull the soldiers in there, and they didn't have enough time to escape. In the blink of an eye, they became hedgehogs and then burned to charcoal.

"It's miserable, it's miserable." When Grandpa Xu Fu saw this scene, he couldn't help shedding a few tears.

For a full ten minutes, we were under attack by the traps we had set up. Countless bolts were shot at us, and countless flames were about to turn us to ashes. If I hadn't used a thunderbolt barrier to protect everyone, we would have formed a group to go to the western sky by now.

Faced with this situation, the soldiers outside were really helpless. I could clearly hear some of the soldiers sealing the mechanism, but the mechanism could not be stopped. The only way to stop the trap is to let all the bolts run out and the flames burn. I can't think of any other possibility.

Nearly another five minutes passed, and the bolts stopped firing, and the flames gradually extinguished. However, the outside of the lightning barrier was still pitch black, which should be a large amount of toxic gas produced when the flames burned just now. I can't open the lightning barrier right now, or we'll probably get affected again.

Slowly, the smoke had cleared, and I began to weaken the lightning barrier. As soon as the lightning barrier disappeared, I heard the shouts and cries of soldiers coming from outside. When we walked out of the secret room, the soldiers outside had already suffered heavy losses, and many of the soldiers who rushed to the rescue were also unconscious from the poison gas. What the hell is this, we were defeated by the mechanism we designed.

"Gong Wushuang, call him over immediately and find out what's going on." Grandpa Xu Fu is angry for the first time, and it stands to reason that the mechanism of the Gongyi family should be difficult to crack. Who the hell made this organ like this, it must not be a normal person anyway.

While we are waiting for the defeat here, we can only follow the soldiers to rescue the wounded first. The wounded outside were still saved, but the soldiers inside had disappeared without a trace. Fortunately, my uncle still has a lot of medicines with him, so he can always relieve the pain of the soldiers.

Soon, Gongyi Wushuang also rushed over.
