Chapter 527: Stealing and Playing Tricks
If the masters of the Tang Sect succeed in killing the Western magicians in the cave, then they who are guarding the entrance of the cave will be able to share a little credit; if no one comes out for a long time, then it is very likely that the masters of the Tang Sect have already fought with the Western magicians, and when the time comes, the danger will be much smaller, and if they are lucky, they may be able to pick up a great bargain.
Imagining the possibility of encountering two Western magicians who were almost dying, the disciples of the other ten major sects located near the entrance of the underground cave who were as cautious as if they were facing a great enemy couldn't help but smile smugly.
Of course, there is also the second shopkeeper who is also proud. Because, in the opinion of the shopkeeper, as long as the number of people is enough, the maze arranged in this hurry should be easily broken. While marching, the shopkeeper explained the situation. When the Tang Sect masters heard this, they also looked happy one by one. It seems that the great credit for capturing or killing Western magicians has become their own.
However, after the first batch of simple four-by-four-by-four, the smug smile on the shopkeeper's face froze. The shopkeeper was also lucky, because he happened to be the only smooth right path, but unfortunately, soon, he found that there were four more forks in the road in front of him. And dozens of Tang Sect masters around him have all been sent out.
"No! it can't be! How could they have come up with so many forks in the road in a hurry?" the shopkeeper roared a little frantically, and then, unwillingly, he scolded angrily, "I ××, this Western magician is also perverted. Could it be that this is a project that requires countless manpower and time, and they Western magicians can complete it in an instant? I ×× it, how is this possible? They are just magicians, not immortals......
It's a pity, no matter how angry and unbelievable the shopkeeper is, it won't help. Because, this labyrinthine of countless underground passages is really in front of him.
Soon, all the masters of the Tang Sect who were scattered and found their way gathered together again under the guidance of the angry scolding of the shopkeeper. Looking at the brand-new fork in front of them, they couldn't help but frown a little.
"Boss, what should we do? Do we want to continue to investigate?" one of the Tang Sect masters, who had a good relationship with the shopkeeper, couldn't help but ask.
The shopkeeper thought about it and had to reply sadly: "No." Let's go back first. ”
How could these ambitious Tang Sect masters be willing to give up this huge merit that was about to be obtained? Therefore, many people immediately asked angrily, "Why?"
"Can any of you guarantee that this fork in the road won't continue endlessly?" asked the shopkeeper with a frown.
"What if it's endless, as long as we work closely together, we converge every time we find the right passage. Come to think of it, I'll find those two Western magicians. One of them replied confidently.
"It's a pity we don't have enough people. Western magicians do this to stall for time. If we continue to track down like this, I'm afraid that the two Western magicians will have escaped without a trace. The shopkeeper said worriedly.
"Then what should I do? This is what our Tang Sect discovered first, can we just give it to those people from other sects who don't work hard?"
"If we can easily capture or kill those two Western magicians through these passages, it will definitely be a great achievement, and naturally we can't give it to others. But what if we fail to deal with the situation, which ultimately leads to a delay in the timing and allows the Western magicians to escape without knowing where to go? Then who can afford such a heavy crime? When the time comes, not only will we not be able to earn honor for the Tang Sect, but we will also bring great trouble to the Tang Sect. Even, from now on, he may become a public enemy of martial arts. The shopkeeper was a little exaggerated, but he knew that if he didn't say that, he would definitely not be able to appease the extremely angry emotions of his fellow disciples in front of him.
"Is it really that serious?" asked immediately and suspiciously.
"Even if we withdraw, won't we be responsible for dealing with impropriety?" argued unconvinced.
"Hehe, how could this be? When we entered, none of the other sects arrived! So, we tracked it down first, just to buy time. Later, we realized that the situation was not right, and in order not to waste time, we returned to the ground and asked for support from the masters of other sects. Besides, we didn't close the hole, and people from other sects could come in and track it on their own. Therefore, when we go up, some of them are only credits, and there is no responsibility for dealing with them. Next, we will unite the forces of all major sects to search with all our might, and if we finally let the Western magicians escape, it will not be our fault. ”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, so they stopped talking nonsense and immediately returned the same way quickly.
When the master of the Tang Sect came out of the cave, he was almost accidentally injured by the disciples of the other sects who were surrounded around.
Seeing that everyone in the Tang Sect retreated unharmed one by one, the other sects couldn't help but regret it with a wait-and-see attitude. "I knew there was no danger, and I should have rushed in desperately at that time!"
After the shopkeeper explained the situation, the leaders of each faction immediately sent out a signal, and suddenly, the other disciples gathered around one by one.
Except for a few people who were on guard and responsible for sending and receiving information, all of them went down to the burrow. This time, they were already prepared, and after each false fork in the road, they would put a large scarlet cross at the entrance.
The so-called "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high", this time, it didn't take long for the disciples of the ten major sects to touch the end. This time, everyone was completely confused. Because, all the entrances to the passage are marked with scarlet crosses.
Seeing the search results of "final", the shopkeeper "laughed", of course, secretly laughing. "Fortunately, I had foresight, otherwise, such a terrible ending would not be something that our Tang Sect could afford. ”
Not long after the news of "Western magicians escaping into underground secret passages" was spread, another piece of news was urgently transmitted.
After receiving the news, the elders of the various factions immediately replied and emphasized: "We must find out the source of this underground secret passage. However, soon, the elders of the various factions were shocked by the news that followed.
"What? The Western magician has disappeared from the secret passage?"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Check, we must let them investigate thoroughly!"
This time, even the heads of the various factions were alarmed.
