It's an underground stone chamber, and it's really solid.

From the one-meter-square opening, go down the stone steps for about fifty meters, and you will come to the underground utility room that Zebran said. It was very large, about the size of two acres, and all the things had been removed, and it looked very empty standing in the center of the stone room.

Li Changfeng knocked on the wall with the hilt of his sword, making a dull sound, which showed that the wall was very thick. He took a cursory look at it with his spiritual eye technique, but found nothing, so he bent down and carefully examined it bit by bit, starting from the base of the wall.

An hour later.

Even with Li Changfeng's super physique, he already felt a little tired, but the result was disappointing, he didn't find anything, the spiritual eye technique was always on, and he didn't find anything to react to.

Standing up straight, Li Changfeng touched his chin and pondered: Is it really just an ordinary stone room? No, this stone room is built so strongly, it will never be just used as a utility room, but where is the secret?

He looked up at the ceiling, it was flat, not even cracked, shook his head, and looked elsewhere.

Until his eyes were almost sour, his gaze suddenly stopped on the stone steps he had stepped on when he entered. The color and size of the penultimate step are not different from the other steps, the only difference is that there is a small gap on the edge of the edge connected to the wall, which gives Li Changfeng the feeling that the edge of this step extends inward into the wall, rather than the edge of the other steps against the wall.

With a slight excitement, he crouched down on the steps and studied it carefully. First, he pushed hard inward, but he didn't move. I stood on it and stepped on it hard, but there was no response. Knocked with the hilt of the sword, the sound is dull and solid.

Li Changfeng stretched out his fingers and swept along the gap, feeling a little smooth, it should be the traces left by the movement of the steps, and he couldn't help but feel a little more sure in his heart. Changed sides and continued to touch: there is, there is a place the size of a coin in the middle of the gap here, which is slightly loose, giving people a feeling of weakness and powerlessness. He pointed his finger on it, pressed it hard, and the place was concave, and then as Li Changfeng's finger retreated, it popped out, and finally formed a stone stick about two inches long outside the abrupt outside, which stopped there and did not move.

Li Changfeng blinked: What is the situation, how is it different from what he imagined? After waiting for a while, seeing that there was no movement, he lowered his head and carefully observed the stone stick.

The gray-white color looks the same as the surrounding stones, but if you look closely, you can see that the surface of this stone stick is unusually smooth, and the texture is fine, as if the surface is coated with a layer of wax with a little luster. He stretched out his finger and flicked it, making a soft sound like gold and iron.

"It should be some kind of metal!"

He said to himself, grabbed the stone stick with his palm, and shook it from side to side, but he couldn't shake it. Pulling it out doesn't work. Pushing inward, this time there was movement, the stone stick was pushed back inside, and everything returned to its original state.

Li Changfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Pressing the stone stick out again, he touched his chin and thought for a long time, and finally tentatively grabbed the stone stick to convey vitality.

The stairs finally moved, and silently slid to the left, revealing a hole a foot square. Li Changfeng looked over, and there was a fist-sized jade box inside, and a soft vitality glow flashed under the spiritual eye technique.

............

Outside the ancient city of Yuema.

The desert also has its advantages, that is, if you set up a tent, you don't need to pick too much space, you can tie it up on it by leveling the yellow sand, and you don't have to worry about getting sick if you sleep on the ground. And the particular cloth on the ground is a soft and suitable bed, and the cloth is not exquisite.

Desert King Xiong Jin is a fastidious person, and he is also qualified to be exquisite, so in his tent, under his body is a piece of animal skin, a complete "storm beast" fur.

The tent is very large, the tables and chairs are complete, there are three people sitting in it at the moment, Xiong Jin is sitting at the top, Wan Defeng and another thin and strong man are sitting on the low chair at the bottom, the strong man has a sad face on his face, and said to Xiong Jin:

"Master Xiong, you recruited my 'blood wolf' department to besiege the ancient city of Yuema, I Luo Lun didn't say a word, all the staff came out to help you, and said that the good reward was to divide half of the property after the Qituo Department was laid, and now the Qituo Department is driven away, but the property is nothing, how can I explain to my brothers!"

It was Luo Lun, the leader of the "Blood Wolf" Sand Pirate Group, who spoke. He looked pitiful at this time, but what he said was like a needle hidden in the cotton, so that Wandefeng, who was sitting opposite him, hurriedly picked up the cup to cover his face.

Xiong Jin didn't move, and said lightly:

"What is the situation this time, you also saw it all present, no one could have imagined such an accident, Luo Dangjia wouldn't blame me for making my own decisions at that time, right?"

Luo Lun shook his hand again and again, and said:

"Where does the big boss Xiong say, where there is a 'desert king', we are the only ones who look forward, and we dare not have half a word of complaint. ”

With a slight smile with arrogance in his eyes, Xiong Jin said:

"Although there is nothing to gain this time, there is nothing to lose. I will compensate you for the cost of this dispatch. ”

Speaking of which, keep your mouth shut. Luo Lun waited for a while, and when he saw that Xiong Jin didn't mention other compensation, he saved his plan to use his blood wolf for nothing, and immediately shouted:

"No, big boss, let me go back like this, the spittle stars of the brothers won't drown me yet, you can't harm me, big brother!"

Even Wandefeng glanced at Luo Lun with sympathetic eyes, and poured wine from his glass without saying a word.

Xiong Jin picked up a few wine glasses and took a sip and put them down, his eyes stared at Luo Lun, the look on his face cooled down a little, and he said slowly:

"There is a royal caravan in the Great Wilderness City, and in the past few years, it has made a lot of money by relying on a secret supply route opened up in the desert. It took a lot of money and effort to buy one of the caravan's guards, figure out their routes, and ambush them with men, but I waited for two days and disappeared......"

At this point he paused and stared at Luo Lun.

When Luo Lun heard this, his originally excited expression disappeared, and he unnaturally avoided Xiong Jin's gaze and drank with a wine glass.

Seeing him look at his demeanor, Wandefeng on the side suddenly shouted:

"Wow, I said how good the caravan suddenly disappeared, it turned out that your hungry wolf intercepted it halfway, no, you have to compensate us for our losses!"

Luo Lun was anxious when he heard this: Oh, let yourself work hard in vain here, and compensate for the losses over there, isn't this bullying!

"Yes, a few days ago, my Blood Wolf Department ate a caravan, I don't know if it is the Wang family caravan or the Li family caravan, but I occasionally ran into them after avoiding the hurricane and went in the wrong direction, and I didn't know that they were the prey of the 'Blood Hurricane'. Sand thieves looting, rightly so, this, this can't be said to be my fault!"

Xiong Jin said unhurriedly:

"It's not your fault to rob, but it's your fault to cross the line. If you go to my 'Scarlet Hurricane' territory to fight the autumn wind without saying hello, don't you really take my bear strength seriously?"

The more he spoke, the more severe he became, and his eyes began to shoot a compelling light.

Luo Lun was stunned for a moment, and argued:

"At that time, the hurricane blew and changed the landscape completely, and I didn't know if it was the big boss's territory. ”

Wonder Wind jumped up and shouted with a flushed face:

"Fart, we later found the place where the caravan was looted, and there is no clue to who did it, except for the corpse. I don't know if you're stepping on the wrong ground, why are you cleaning up so clean, aren't you afraid of being found out?"

Luo Lun's momentum lowered and said:

"I really didn't know at first, but I was in a hurry with the caravan, so I started first, and then I didn't know where I was until I checked it. ”

After asking about things clearly, Wandefeng stopped jumping, sat down and looked at Xiong Jin with Luo Lun.

Xiong Jin put his palm flat on the table in front of him, sat up straight and looked at Luo Lun and said flatly:

"No one has ever dared to break ground on my Desert King's head, what do you think I should do with you?"

Luo Lun's sweat, the name of "Desert King" is not called in vain, and now he knows that he is a qi practitioner, and he is on the other party's land. After calculating it, one is not good, but I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe of death, and I am even more sweaty, and I am busy and said loudly:

"The property stolen from the Wang family's caravan is still there, and I am willing to return it all to the big boss!"

Xiong Jin didn't speak, just stared at him closely, seeing that Luo Lun's heart was furious, he barely picked up the wine glass to drink, but the tips of his fingers that grabbed the wine glass were so tight that they were white.

After a long time, Xiong Jin suddenly retracted his gaze and said with a slight smile:

"Okay! That's it, then you keep half of this property, which is considered the reward for this trip, what do you think?"

Luo Lun couldn't say half a word, and when he heard that he could get half of it back, he was overjoyed, and even thanked him, and then said goodbye.

When he walked away, the two people in the tent looked at each other and smiled, and Wande said:

"Big brother is a good means, so that even if he gets talent, he will not cause them too much resentment, which is to kill two birds with one stone. ”

Xiong Jin's smug look flashed in his eyes, and he shook his hand and did not speak.

Windfeng continued:

"It's just that I don't understand, now that the area around 'Pearl Lake' is our family, why doesn't the eldest brother merge the other sand thieves to strengthen the prestige of our department?"

Hearing this, Xiong Jin showed a slight wry smile and replied:

"What kind of family is dominant, it's a big tree, otherwise why didn't anyone look for the 'immortal master' this time, but only found us? All of them sound majestic, and they are not a fart in front of the real powerhouse, and a qi practitioner will force us into a corner. If it weren't for the coercion and promise of the 'Immortal Master', I would rather stop than offend such a strong man, who knows if he will hold a grudge in the future, and if he really wants to make a move, what he said can really be done. ”

Wind heard that he was worried:

"In that case, the man was always a threat. So what to do, do we let him get stuck in our throats like this?"

Xiong Jin said ruthlessly:

"Yuema Ancient City has been taken, I have already asked the third child to invite the 'Immortal Master' to come over, if I can ask the 'Immortal Master' to deal with him, hum, hum ......"

Wandefeng shook his head without confidence and said:

"That 'immortal master' is only interested in the ancient city, and it will be difficult to ask him to help. ”

After a sip of wine, he paused, and then said:

"It's the third child who was able to escape from the qi practitioner this time, and it seems that his martial arts have made great progress. ”

Xiong Jin nodded, and in the dim flickering candlelight, he talked and laughed with Wonder Wind and stopped talking about the previous topic.

Outside the tent, in the corner under the shadows, Li Changfeng's body was buried in the yellow sand, and only his head was exposed. He'd been here for a while, listening to their conversation.

How did he end up here......?
