Chapter 145: Treasure Hunt
Zhao Wangge led the action team to Tongle Town, and according to the route instructions recorded on the hand-drawn paper of the remnant map given to him by Du Jiu, he came to the location where the strange treasure was hidden.
"This should be it." In front of him is a messy stone, but the location marked on the drawing is here, several people think that this messy stone should be used to block the cave passage behind, Zhao Wangge inspected the surrounding environment, extremely hidden geographical location, inaccessible, and then he took Ma Xuan, Wu Qi, Guo Cheng, Liang Zhu and Shao Yuan to prepare to open this cave in the dead of night.
"It's dark in two hours, so let's take a break." After a few days of tiring travel, except for Zhao Elegy, the other five people were a little tired, even if they were martial artists with triple aura, they were all mortals, and fatigue was inevitable.
While the five of them were resting, Zhao Wangge took out the tools he brought this time, checked and sorted them out, the storage box, the lighting stone after entering the cave, the search engine for detection, and many tools were readily available.
There are not many residents in Tongle Town, and they don't usually come here, but there are stories of strange treasures here, and of course, these people are also treated as a legend, and few people will think of this place as a buried place with strange treasures.
"Let's go."
Zhao Wangge saw that the five of them were resting.
He ordered the five people to cooperate, and this pile of chaotic stones were all large rigid stones weighing hundreds of tons, and ordinary mortals could not break them even with excavation tools, even martial artists with aura and vitality needed enough strength to do it.
Zhao Elegy, who has a five-fold vitality, may be able to reluctantly break through the cracks in the Great Gang Stone, but this also requires the help of the other five people to completely open the hole that can pass through people.
So, several people worked together to run their respective forces, and Zhao Wangge aimed at one place, and then ordered to hit the power after accumulation.
The sound of "bang ......" was violent, and if Zhao Wangge hadn't placed the sound-absorbing covers in all directions in advance, it would have been easily noticed by the residents of the town.
The smoke cleared, and a passage appeared through the Great Gang Stone.
The five of them followed Zhao Elegy into it, and after a few people had fully entered, he covered the entrance of the cave to avoid other possible events.
Reaching out to the passage with five fingers, each of the five took out the lighting stone.
Suddenly, the place became full of sight, and Zhao Wangge took out the search engine, which was a practical tool that Du Jiu specially found for the warlock, which could help these people find those things that contained special ingredients.
The Flat Heavenly Mirror and the Great Sword of Talismans, these two strange treasures, Zhao Elegy had heard of them, they were all ancient things, if they could be handed down to the present, I am afraid they would also be rusty and useless.
But the other precious treasures should be intact, although Zhao Wangge is not very interested in this kind of thing, but the things worth tens of millions of Kesuo, anyone who listens to it will have an idea, his task is to ensure that these things are not stolen by the other five people, once these five people see the behavior of the wealth, he will immediately kill them.
This is Du Jiu's order, except for Zhao Elegy, his trust in others is not high, maybe these five people don't have this kind of thought, but just in case, the necessary preparations still have to be made.
They entered all the way according to the route of the passage, and after about fifteen minutes, they came to a wide space, which was extremely empty, and there was no trace of storing things, but after Zhao Wangge saw it, he noticed a different atmosphere.
It was a pungent and unpleasant smell, and several people quickly covered their mouths and noses, hid in the entrance of the passage, and took out breathable masks from the storage box to block the smell.
Entering it again, several people searched.
"Well, what's different about you?"
Shao Yuan searched for a long time from the corner on one side, but found nothing, and found no suspicious places, and then, he asked the other four people who were looking for it in other corners, and they all shook their heads.
"Is there any such thing here that the city lord said? How I feel like this is a cave, normal. Liang Zhu said casually, from the moment he came in just now, he was a little depressed after finding that this place was empty.
Zhao Wangge looked back and forth at the ground, and he found that all around and above his head were all the common rock constructions, only the ground was the other rocks he had never seen before, and he didn't know what the name was, the color and surface roughness were different.
It made him feel that something was wrong.
The five of them looked at Zhao Wangge and pondered, their eyes did not move to the ground, and they stepped forward to observe together, "Is there anything wrong with this ground?" Ma Xuan was puzzled, in his opinion, the stones on the ground were not like hidden mechanisms except for being slightly different from those on the walls.
After observing for a while, Guo Cheng was bored, so he paced back and forth, continuing to observe the wall, trying to find other passages from it.
He believed that what the city lord said was true, but this place was indeed a little too empty, if it was really an ordinary cave, why did it use hundreds of tons of large rigid stones to block the entrance?
That's a lot of idle work.
Touching the raised stone on the wall with his hand, trying to turn or press down, it was useless, and after a while, he touched the surrounding walls, and there was still no movement.
Zhao Wangge seemed to have spotted a suspicious trace on the ground.
He took out the Pingjue long sword from his arms, and the blade instantly became larger.
The other five Reiki martial artists had never seen this before, and were slightly surprised.
"This is the Yuanqi Hidden Sword, and it really feels different."
I saw Zhao Wangge aim the tip of the sword at the subtle gap in the ground, and then stabbed the force, and the sword body directly sank into it.
"Is there a hole under the ground?"
Liang Zhu rekindled hope, and then he strengthened his arms with earth-attribute aura.
"Everyone retreat to the entrance of the passage, and I will open the way for everyone."
Zhao Wangge led the others to step aside, waiting for Liang Zhu's next move.
"Iron fist explosion."
I saw Liang Zhu inject the earth-attribute aura into his arms, and the color of his skin immediately turned thick brown, he let out a loud cry in his mouth, and hit the gap with both fists, and with an instant "click", cracks began to appear on the ground, spreading out to the surroundings in the center.
Liang Zhu hurriedly got up and ran to the side.
"Bang ......"
There was a bang, and the rocks on the ground shattered and fell.
Several people looked over, and saw a deep space below.
"What is this?"
Guo Cheng's face was frightened, he didn't dare to look directly, the bottomless darkness made him frightened just by looking at it, he took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner fluctuations.
Liang Zhu's renewed hope was somewhat extinguished, just now he was overjoyed and eager to try, at this moment he looked helpless, looking at the bottom, he shook his head and sighed. "I look at the cave at least a hundred meters deep, are you sure there must be the treasure that the city lord said underneath?"
Not only him, but Ma Xuan, Shao Yuan, and Wu Qi no longer believed it.
Zhao Wangge also retreated a little, mainly because the hole was too deep, even he didn't dare to go down easily, at this time, he thought of Yuguang, if he had that unique levitation ability, there was nothing to be afraid of in front of him.
"What to do." He asked himself in his mind.
Even if you can go down, what if there are still no treasures in it? Isn't it that he has not gained anything by acting at great risk, he has thought about it a lot, but if he can't go on, he will naturally not be able to find those treasures, and he has not completed the things that Du Jiu explained, which is nothing, but without these treasures, how can he let other martial artists come to Xuanshan City to defend the city, he doesn't want those things to happen before, at least he doesn't want to see it.
"I don't think we'll go down."
Guo Cheng swallowed his saliva and stopped looking at the cave.
He told everyone that he wanted to quit.
Except for Zhao Elegy, who was still hesitating, everyone else also wanted to leave, but they were embarrassed to say it clearly, and at this time, the rocks above their heads also began to loosen, and the vibration gradually became stronger.
Sensing the danger, several people ran out.
"Boom ......"
Just as a few people escaped, the cave collapsed.
"Hoo ......"
The feeling of uncertainty made the five of them tremble.
Zhao Elegy was quite firm, and he said to everyone: "Since the cave has been destroyed, let's go." Although there is some disappointment, but there is nothing to be done, such a strong sound is easy to be noticed by the people in the town, in order not to cause trouble, leaving early is the best choice.
Everyone had this intention and quickly left the place.
"How are we going to deal with each other when we go back?" Although Liang Zhu was greatly disappointed, the reason why he followed Du Jiu's instructions and came here was all because of this trip, Du Jiu promised to give him a generous reward, and now that the matter has not been completed, it is naturally impossible to get this money.
Although Zhao Elegy didn't care about these, but several other people wanted this money, looking at the helplessness of several people, Zhao Elegy naturally knew what they were thinking, Du Jiu told him that there was more than one place where this treasure was hidden, but for the sake of safety, he hand-painted a copy of the location marked on the residual map, and each one only marked the location of a treasure, but he couldn't tell the other five people about this.
He was going to go back this time and ask Du Jiu for maps of other treasure locations, as long as he could successfully find a treasure, it would be worth a lot of Ke Suo.
"It's okay, let's tell the truth when we go back, I believe Du Jiu won't be embarrassed for you." Zhao Elegy comforted a few people, "A failure is nothing, fortunately we are not injured, which is already very good." ”
"That's all there is to it."
However, just as a few people left here, the cave began to change, and the rock quickly returned to its previous appearance without a trace.
"Big brother, who are they, I think the leader is good." Voices rang out from within the cavern, but no one was visible, as if the sound was coming from a rock.
"Whatever, our mission is to protect the safety of these treasures, no matter who comes, we just need to scare them away."
"Yes."
After a while, the sound disappeared completely, and everything returned to calm, and the loud noise did not alarm the residents of the nearby town of Tongle, because no matter what kind of noise the cave was making, they could not hear it.
After returning to Xuanshan City, Zhao Wangge took the five people to the city lord's mansion and explained to Du Jiu the process before and after the operation.
The five of them were very grateful, after all, the money was very important to them.
"One failure is nothing, but if the task is still like this, then I won't use you to do things, do you understand?"
"Thank you for your understanding." The five of them said in unison, although Du Jiu's aura realm and strength are not as good as theirs, but Xuanshan City is in charge of all matters, and he is also dutiful, and the warriors in the city are also convinced, naturally there is no complaint, they all hope that this Xuanshan City can become better under the leadership of Du Jiu.
After signaling the five to stand down, he talked to Zhao Elegy about the next action.
"Although this matter failed, I still believe in you, in addition, this treasure is very important to us, there have been too many changes in the mortal realm recently, just recently, the Black Earth City was destroyed, and their city lord was also wiped out, I don't know who did it until now."
Du Jiu told Zhao Elegy about this matter, about Black Earth City and Gui Mo Fei, Zhao Elegy had also heard of it, although he didn't know what happened specifically, but destroying a city, this was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
"Then what did Luo Tong say?"
Du Jiu snorted lightly and said, "He doesn't know what the hell he wants to do now, the matter of recruiting martial artists and aliens last time has not been officially explained until now, you say, can I still trust him."
"But at least he's still the realm lord of the mortal realm now, so it's still not good for us to tear our faces." Zhao Wangge noticed that the current situation was not optimistic, since there was a destruction of the city, then there would be a second and third, especially what happened here before, these are all warnings.
"This is natural, but what is needed now is those strange treasures, as long as they have them, Xuanshan City will soon be able to grow, and when the time comes, no matter how strong he Luo Tong is, he will not be able to defeat us."
Du Jiu didn't have much thought about Luo Tong's realm master, he just wanted to ensure the peace of the mortal realm, especially the safety of the people of Xuanshan City.
"Please send me on my next mission, I'll be able to bring back what you need this time." Zhao Wangge has enough determination, he wants to find a few more powerful martial artists this time, preferably other inhumans with outstanding abilities, and inform Du Jiu of his thoughts.
Du Jiu nodded in agreement.
"What about that boy last time?"
Du Jiu didn't see Yuguang in the previous incident, but Du Yuteng learned about him from Zhao Elegy's mouth, and the maker of the aura sword core was also Yuguang, so Du Yuteng also told Du Jiu about the young man.
"I don't know where he is now, he seems to be trying to solve his own business, maybe he will come here again in the future." Zhao Wangge also hopes that Yuguang can be here, and with his help, at least he can explore the cave and even find treasures.
"Then there are no other Inhumans in our city?"
Zhao Elegy thought, and then, a person flashed in his mind.
said to Du Jiu: "It seems that there is one."
He thought of Gou Dai.
