【Volume 2 Land of Ruins】 Chapter 153: Underwater Mansion
"The ancient tomb is in the middle of the falling lake?"
Chen Tuo was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the so-called treasure was actually underwater.
On the other side, under Chen Tuo's orders, Luo Fatzi and Broken Mountain rescued the people who were imprisoned in the secret room by the mercenary group.
There were people from the mountains and mountains, and there were also people who were taken captive from outside, but their freedom was restricted and they were not physically harmed.
Moreover, they have received confirmation from their mouths that what the old and the young are saying is true.
There are indeed ancient tomb treasures in the falling lake.
The mercenaries held them in prison for the purpose of digging up ancient tombs at the bottom of the lake.
After many days of excavation, the young men had found their way into the tomb. However, they have a pact with the mysterious man that they cannot open the tomb without the other party's order.
"The ancient tomb is about to be opened, and the mysterious person will not appear?" Chen Tuo asked.
"I have been informed by secret letter that I believe he will appear in the next few days. "Young humanity.
At the same time, the young man also informed Chen Tuo that not only their mercenary group, but also other mercenary forces, had also received similar tasks from the mysterious man.
"Very well, give you a chance to atone for your sins, and put on a show for me, I want to see who this mysterious man really is. Chen Tuo was very curious, why did this mysterious person dig ancient tombs everywhere, really for wealth?
If so, then what is the purpose of such a crazy collection of wealth!
The young people didn't want to agree to Chen Tuo's request, this was smashing their signboard alive, if this matter got out, it would be fatal to the reputation of their mercenary group.
But now, people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, and they have to agree.
After waiting like this, three days passed.
On the fourth day, the mystery man appeared.
A man in black with a mask.
He was silent, and even Chen Tuo almost didn't notice his arrival.
Swish!
Suddenly, the mysterious man sensed that something was wrong and was about to retreat, but Chen Tuo, who was hiding in the shadows, suddenly made a move, applause like thunder, and blasted towards him.
He felt that the man in black was extraordinary, so his shot was a thunderous slap.
Bang!
The mysterious man was slapped, thunder and lightning wrapped around him, black smoke was emitting from his body, he fell backwards, his chest was stuffy, and blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Chen Tuo was surprised, he didn't expect the other party to vomit blood under one palm, it seems that he overestimated the other party.
Seeing that his identity was revealed, the mysterious man did not hesitate at all, he directly turned around and broke through the window.
He absconded.
Chen Tuo hurriedly chased after him, but to his surprise, the other party's speed was very fast, faster than he spread his flying wings.
He didn't catch up.
The mystery man fled, leaving no trace to be traced.
"What the hell is this guy coming from? His strength is not strong, he can't even block my palm, but he has the ability to escape for his life. Chen Tuo couldn't find the mysterious person everywhere, and finally had to return to Luohu Mountain.
The operation failed.
didn't catch the man in black, the other party had the ability to come and go without a trace, and after the other party was wary, Chen Tuo knew that the chance of catching the other party again was very slim, almost zero.
"In that case, let's open this tomb, if we don't open it, others will take action sooner or later. Chen Tuo finally decided to go to the grave.
Under his threat, the young man had no choice but to agree.
The Falling Lake, perched high in the mountains, is definitely a great sight.
It covers a large area, the water of the lake is crystal clear, the shore is planted with willow trees, and the breeze blows in and disturbs the calm surface of the lake.
"This is a water-repellent pill that can be taken without breathing for three hours in the water. The young man handed Chen Tuo a black ball.
Chen Tuo took it and handed it to Luo Fatzi.
He didn't need a water repellency pill, and with his current cultivation, even if he stayed in the water for a day, it would be no problem.
In addition to Chen Tuo and Luo Fatzi, there were more than 20 people in the tomb, including young people and old people.
As for the broken mountain, it was left on it.
After getting ready, the group then dived into the lake.
The lake was very deep, and everyone swooped for a while before they saw the bottom of the lake.
At the very bottom of the lake, a hole is faintly visible, which has recently been excavated.
They quickly dived there.
At the end of the cave, there is a stone door one zhang high, which is mossy and has traces of erosion over time.
The ancient tomb is in the water, how to open it is indeed not a simple matter, but the mercenary group where the young man belongs, they can be invited by the mysterious person, so they naturally have good skills.
At the command of the young man, some of his men came out of the ranks, and after some tossing, the stone gate rumbled open.
I thought that with the opening of the stone gate, the water outside would surge in, but to everyone's surprise, the water outside was completely isolated from the stone gate.
"There's a formation here, cut off the flow of water!"
Everyone held the night pearl in their hands and walked in through the stone gate, which was very dry, as if they had passed through another space.
After walking for a while, they saw a mansion, but the plaque on the gate was blank.
An unnamed mansion.
The gate was made of bronze, and the crowd tried to push it several times, but they couldn't push it open.
Even when Chen Tuo made a move, the bronze gate did not move a bit.
"This is a special kind of mechanism door, I didn't expect to be able to encounter it here, I think this ancient tomb has a lot of origin! If you can't break the mechanism code on it, even if the entire mansion collapses, it will be useless. The old man said at this time.
A group of people took a closer look, and indeed saw some traces of rust on the bronze door, which were really difficult to find if they were not carefully observed.
"Abel, do you have a way to open it?" asked the young man.
"This kind ......of mechanism door has long been lost, and it is difficult to open it, but you can give it a try," said the old man, apparently he was a veteran in this area.
The bronze gate was rusty, and it took the old man a while to clean up the copper embroidery on the bracket.
All of the brackets are exposed, but they are so complicated that they are enough to dazzle people.
The old man tried to mobilize those machines, and there was a sudden rumbling sound from inside the bronze gate, and at the same time, dark arrows were shot from everywhere, if it weren't for Chen Tuo's quick reaction and timely blocking the arrows, I am afraid that someone would have died on the scene.
"These traps are terrifying!"
The old man was more cautious now, and at the same time, he was also worried that if the agency was transferred wrongly, it might also cause the tomb to self-destruct.
This is destined to be a project that requires full attention and is extremely draining, no less than a fierce battle.
An hour later, the old man couldn't hold it anymore, and gasped: "This machine is too cumbersome, and it will take some time to study it." ”
Because the bronze gate could not be opened, and it was getting late at this time, the group had to return.
As he was leaving, the young man ordered the bracket pattern on the bronze gate to be retracted.
"Master, could these guys be cheating?" said Fat Luo in a low voice.
Chen Tuo shook his head and said: "It shouldn't be, and forgive them for not having the guts, even if they are, you might as well see what tricks they can play." ”
He had already tried to push the bronze gate before, and it was no ordinary bronze gate.
In fact, not to mention whether the bronze gate can be opened, even if it can really be forcibly pushed open with brute force, as the old man said, this underwater mansion will collapse with it.
