Chapter 394: Underground
"How many more?" Sukh asked softly, walking at the front.
Xiao Lin looked down at the bunch of keys in his hand, and replied softly: "There are still three warehouses that have not been searched, and the rest have already been seen." ”
"I don't think the remaining three will be much to gain. Mu Xuanyi said helplessly.
"Then we have to check it out. Qin Ke said.
After Xiao Lin and his party killed the guard in charge of the keys, the road became a lot easier, the guard had the keys to all the warehouse gates, and they used this set of keys to speed up their pace at once, and soon searched many warehouses.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are not many guards around the warehouse, and the objects placed in the warehouse are relatively ordinary, although there are some precious goods, but the overall value has not been exaggerated to that extent, so far, the most precious goods are still found at the beginning of the black steel.
"This warehouse is not guarded either. Qin Ke said softly, he opened his spiritual barrier at all times, and he didn't sense the aura of others around this warehouse.
"Let's go. Su He said softly, then took the key in Xiao Lin's hand, carefully opened the warehouse door through a gap just enough for one person to pass through, and lowered his body and flashed in.
Xiao Lin and the others immediately followed, and after entering the warehouse, they immediately closed the door to prevent some patrolling guards from noticing the strangeness here.
"Why is this warehouse empty?" Xiao Lin muttered softly, there was nothing in the warehouse they were in now, not to mention the precious goods, not even a single cargo box could be found.
"I don't think there are any of the two warehouses left. Mu Xuanyi said softly, he felt that this possibility was still quite large, after all, the few warehouses they searched earlier were not full at all, so why pile things up in other warehouses, it is not convenient to manage.
"When things go wrong, there must be demons. Sukh said softly, "The more places where there is no thing, the more carefully searched, so as not to miss any corners." ”
Since Su He said so, the big guy naturally had to do it, and soon Xiao Lin and the others dispersed, carefully searching all corners of this warehouse, hoping to find some clues.
"How do you feel that this warehouse is more delicate than the previous ones?" Xiao Lin whispered to himself, he saw that the floor of this warehouse was still paved with some stone bricks, but the previous warehouse was not so exquisite.
Moreover, these stone bricks are carved with different patterns, and occasionally a faint light flows and flickers back and forth on the ground.
"Isn't there going to be some formation here? Xiao Lin looked at the light that kept flashing on the ground, and muttered with some confusion.
"There's something weird about the ground. Qin Ke said softly, "I feel that something seems to be flowing underneath?"
"What is it?" Mu Xuanyi asked.
"I don't know. Qin Ke shook his head, "I always feel like there is something on the soles of our feet, but we can't be sure." ”
Su He squatted down, reached out and knocked on the floor tiles of the warehouse, there was a crisp collision sound, he looked at Xiao Lin and the others and said, "You all knock and try, don't try too hard." ”
When Xiao Lin and the others heard this, they immediately squatted down and began to try, and every knock would make a crisp collision sound, until a muffled sound suddenly came from one place.
"Huh?" After Su He heard the sound, he immediately raised his head, it was the direction where Ji Xuan'er was, and the sound of Nizi knocking on the floor tiles was obviously different from the people around him.
"Is this place empty?" Mu Xuanyi leaned over to where Ji Xuan'er was, staring at the stone brick on the ground.
"See if there's a mechanism around you that you can manipulate. Suhe whispered, "There may be nothing on the surface of this warehouse, maybe it's hidden underground. ”
"But there was nothing around that looked like a mechanism. Mu Xuan's eyes quickly swept around, and he didn't find anything, "This place is blind in the dark, and we don't dare to light up the bright light, so it's difficult to find results." ”
"Could it have something to do with the light on the ground?" Linglong whispered, staring at the floor of the warehouse.
"But how should it be operated?" Xiao Lin rubbed his head and said softly, he had also noticed this phenomenon before, but these faint and faint rays of light felt completely random, there was no pattern, and he couldn't find the connection between the light and the mechanism.
"I don't have much research on mechanics. Sukh smiled bitterly, "Which of you knows about this?"
"I know a little bit. Qin Ke said softly.
"Really?" Mu Xuanyi looked at Qin Ke in surprise, "I've never heard you talk about it before?"
"You just don't know. Qin Ke rolled his eyes and said, "I have learned some of the tricks, formations, and other means that require spiritual ability, but what I have mastered is some fur, which is mainly used to assist in the cultivation of spiritual power, and may not be able to have any effect." ”
"Anyway, let's give it a try. Sukh said softly.
Qin Ke nodded: "I can try, but it will take some time." Then he sat down cross-legged in the middle of the warehouse, groped around in his battle backpack, and pulled out a small object, which looked like a much smaller obelisk, with a dull pale gold appearance and a little red glow on the spire.
"What is that?" Mu Xuan asked, leaning over to Xiao Lin's side, staring at Qin Ke without blinking.
"How do I know?" Xiao Lin said angrily, "I don't know how to do it." ”
In fact, the mechanism technique is the same as the formation method, which is also a kind of Taoist method handed down from ancient times, and has unique characteristics in the design of secret passages and secret rooms.
It's just that compared to the formation, the survival state of the mechanism in today's society is not good, and the formation can still play a unique effect because of some special protective effects, even in today's era of continuous development of science and technology.
But this is not the case with mechanical techniques, which have been replaced by the latest generation of mechanical techniques, and people today have rarely even heard of them, let alone mastering them.
Qin Ke placed the small obelisk on the floor tiles of the warehouse, and his hands formed a strange knot on his chest, and Dao Dao spiritual fluctuations spread out from his body, landing on the obelisk, and bursts of strange fluctuations began to spread around.
The light on the floor tiles of the warehouse began to circulate rapidly, as if it had been pulled by it, and the light emitted became more and more dazzling.
Seeing this, Su He's face changed: "If this light is so strong, all the guards will be alarmed." ”
Qin Ke naturally noticed this phenomenon as well, his face was ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and persevered, without stopping the movements in his hand, if he could quickly unlock this mechanism, these lights should be dimmed, so as not to attract the attention of many people.
Sukh's figure swept out of the warehouse silently, and when the movement was so loud, he chose to patrol outside to see if any of the guards were attracted to him, and if there were, he would kill them at the first opportunity.
The light on the floor of the warehouse became stronger and stronger, and three colors gradually appeared, circling back and forth on the ground, the obelisk in front of Qin Ke began to rotate on the ground, and spiritual fluctuations that were imperceptible to the naked eye seeped into the ground, surging towards the three-color light.
Soon, every spiritual fluctuation was glued to the three-colored light, Qin Ke oozed sweat on his forehead, gritted his teeth and persevered, after all, he only knew something about the trick, and it was far from being proficient, this attempt was undoubtedly a gamble, but in the current form, it seemed to be quite smooth.
"I only saw three rays of light flashing back and forth. Mu Xuan was dumbfounded, and the light flickering back and forth on the floor tiles made his eyes hurt, and he didn't understand what he was doing.
Qin Ke took a deep breath, his eyes lit up, and then on the side of the handprint on his chest, three rays of light suddenly swept towards the surroundings, and then they each stopped on a floor tile.
"Boom", a dull sound sounded, and I saw that the floor tiles in the warehouse began to move slowly, constantly changing directions.
"Succeeded?" Xiao Lin looked at the moving floor tiles in front of him as he stepped back, several of them began to collapse downward, freeing up more space, and the last small gap appeared in front of everyone, and there was a stone staircase leading to the bottom.
"Is there really a secret passage?" Xiao Lin said stunned.
"Was it really unraveled by this kid?" Mu Xuanyi said dumbfounded.
"Succeeded?" said Suhe, who had heard the movement and returned from the rooftop.
"Good luck. Qin Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead, his face was a little pale, although the whole process of cracking the mechanism technique was short, but the consumption of him was very huge, in the later actions tonight, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to continue to open the spiritual enchantment, even with Ji Xuan'er's help, it was estimated that it would not work.
"Let's go in and have a look. Sukh glanced under the gap, and couldn't find anything but darkness, but since he had come, it would be in vain if he didn't go down and take a look.
Xiao Lin and the others immediately shook their spirits, and cautiously behind Su He, Qin Ke was protected in the middle, this kid is very weak now, and his self-protection ability has decreased significantly, and it will take a while to recover.
"You have to keep an eye on the world. Sukh looked at the time on the compass, it was less than two hours before dawn, it was the time they had left to move, and they had to leave here before dawn.
Suhe and his party descended a little bit down the stone steps, the basement was deeper than they had imagined, they had been descending for a long time, but they still couldn't get to the bottom.
There was a dim green glow on both sides of the stone steps, and only a stone staircase that could be faintly seen extending downwards could be seen, which was difficult to see from a little distance.
Xiao Lin followed behind Su He, always running the breathing method, when their spiritual ability was ineffective, they could only rely on their own perception ability to probe the movement around them, including Mu Xuanyi, who kept inhaling his nose at this time, paying attention to the smell wafting in the air. ”
"Da", a soft sound was heard, and Suhe stepped on the ground, and they finally left the stone steps and came to this strange underground space.
"Turn on the lights. Sukh whispered.
Xiao Lin and the others took out a small searchlight from their backpacks, pinned it to their chests, and gently pressed a button, and a bright beam of light suddenly jumped out of the searchlight and shot forward, and several rays of light converged together, gradually dispelling the heavy darkness.
