Chapter 283: Straight In
Because it is excavated upwards, after the sand and gravel are emulsified, most of them flow directly under the feet of Wan Peng. Wan Peng carried the earth-breaking trick with his other hand at this time, gathered the sand and stones that flowed down, and after reaching a certain amount, threw them behind him.
His efficiency is not lower at all than those hole-punching teams with several people working together, and there is not the slightest sound and vibration at all. The people of the Sanshen Altar stood in place, their faces first surprised, then frightened, and they didn't even dare to get angry. It wasn't until Wan Peng signaled for them to carry away the soil on the ground that these people came back to their senses, and began to deal with the remnants of the soil that flowed down in a bit of a panic, and according to Wan Peng's command, they were sent to several relatively wide places on the road before.
They even had a question in their hearts, what kind of terrifying captain is this Captain Wan. Strong combat effectiveness, even Jin Dan can fight a dozen; Outstanding command ability, a squad, relying on 300 people, can directly insert a 3,000-person team of chrysanthemums, but also poke to the end, from the rear, directly through to the front; I am the elite of the cultivation area, all kinds of strange tricks are innumerable, through the Sword Sect's Sword Pavilion, burned the Dali Hall of the library Pavilion, and now I want to go to the Polo Temple to save people!
The key is that his expression, no matter what he encounters, will never appear flustered, even in the face of a strong enemy, he will always have an unyielding look, and his eyes will always be resolute and unflinching.
They vaguely felt that the decision to stay was definitely the most correct decision at the moment.
Wan Peng was in no hurry to dig, and at his current speed, he had only reached about half of his top speed. First, he was afraid that the speed would be too fast, and he would encounter some unknown geological conditions, which would easily cause some dangers; second, it would take a process to transport soil abroad. The sand and gravel are not suitable for transport outside the cave, and some suitable places must be found along the hole. At the same time, while digging, he also began to arrange various formations in the hole, some for reinforcement, and some for attack and defense.
The entire hole was dug out about seven feet square, enough for everyone to stand up straight and walk in it, which also effectively avoided being affected by posture and slowing down the retreat. Except for deliberately avoiding some special stones, the walls of the cave are as straight as if they had been painted with a ruler, which makes others also admire.
Xie Ting always stood on the side of Wan Peng, and followed Wan Peng to move forward, but did not say a word.
After about half a day's effort, Wan Peng had dug out about two miles. Their current positioning can only rely on predetermined plans and maps. Fortunately, in the formation laid out by Wan Peng, there is a continuous formation function that can be relatively positioned, and with the previous reconnaissance pattern, even if the direction is slightly deviated sometimes, it is still controllable.
Wan Peng gave people a break for a while. Because the closer you get to the ground, the easier it may be to arouse the vigilance of the ground, and it is natural for a major sect like the Polo Temple to set up complex defensive formations underground. If the formation is touched in the process, whether it is defensive, offensive or warning, it will have a very negative effect on their actions.
After another silent drill with the team, Wan Peng continued his excavation work. After another two hours, he stopped, closed his eyes, and let go of all his spiritual senses, carefully taking in the changes in his surroundings.
Just now, he felt a slight fluctuation of aura that was different from before. This kind of fluctuation is the inevitable fluctuation caused by the natural movement of the aura when the formation is running. Since this kind of fluctuation is very similar to the fluctuation of aura in nature, if it were not for the extremely high spiritual cultivation, Wan Peng would never have noticed its existence.
I could feel its fluctuations, which showed that the formation arrangement under the Polo Temple was already very close to them. This also supports the analysis of the map, digging up to the present, from the ground of the Polo Temple, there should be more than 30 zhang left.
After a while, Wan Peng opened his eyes and continued to dig. But now, the hole he dug was no longer a complete square shape, but like a spider's web, leaving behind many interconnected stone pillars. After digging a distance of about one zhang, Wan Peng closed his eyes again, and then used the shape according to the rules to dig out four or five zhang.
In this way, the excavation stopped, leaving three places where the stone pillars were staggered and connected. After passing through the top place, it is no longer a hard rock formation, but instead of a hardened sand, indicating that it is very close to the ground.
The underground defense of the Polo Temple actually has three layers! Wan Peng didn't know the specific effects of these three layers, but judging from the characteristics of the flow of spiritual power, he could see that the middle layer was powerful, the bottom layer was the weakest, and the top layer was the weakest.
This is also in line with the defensive characteristics of the underground. Among the three layers, one of them may be part of the mountain protection array, but it will never be the closest layer to the ground. Because in that position, in addition to human touch on the surface, even some snakes and rats may be encountered. Too powerful and sensitive, but it loses its meaning.
At this time, he began to enter the on-site reconnaissance link, Wan Peng had no experience in this area, and consciously retreated, and the people from the three altars played. One of them, pinching a strange trick, soon had an extra pillar of light in his hand, and when he gently thrust it upward, it easily passed through the dirt, and at one end of the cave, a curtain of light was cast, showing what was seen at the other end.
The first section is all sand and stones, nothing special. As he did it, the operator explained, "This is one of our reconnaissance techniques, which is called endoscope. It allows us to see what's going on on the other side. Of course, if it is a medicinal repair, it can also be used to see the situation inside the wound of the injured person, or some conditions in the body. ”
Xie Ting stood on the side, although she heard it clearly, she didn't respond. Her expression was a little dazed now, obviously worried about her brother Xie Fei.
After a short while, the endoscope encountered a regular ashlar, indicating that it had reached under the floor. The operator of the Sanshen Altar gently changed the technique, and the endoscope quickly penetrated the stone slab, reflecting the situation above the light curtain.
It's a small room and there's no one in it. Because there are no reserved windows, the light is slightly insufficient, and there are wooden boxes stacked in an orderly manner, with some words and numbers marked on them. After carefully observing the environment, Zhao Dong of the Sanshen Altar turned to the map light curtain that Wan Peng had typed, pointed to the place within the range of the central pharmacy, and drew a circle with his hand, "What we see should be this area." This is the medicinal herb warehouse, which should be about ten zhang away from the point we expected. ”
"Can you determine which warehouse it is?" Wan Peng stared at the map light curtain, the expression on his face showing that he seemed to be dissatisfied with the result of digging a hole ten feet crooked. In fact, the people who are good at making holes in the Sanshen Altar were surprised when they heard the result of only deviating from ten zhang.
You know, in this case, even if you deviate from within 50 zhang, the assessment results are very good.
Zhao Dong shook his head, "I can't be sure." Captain, you see, in the central pharmacy, there are a total of sixty-four such medicinal herb warehouses, which are divided into four by four, a total of four groups. We could be in any of these groups. ”
"Can't you tell the type of medicinal herb by guò?" Xie Ting said at this time, hoping to give these people some clues.
Zhao Dong shook his head, "No." The center of the Polo Temple is for the pharmacy, which is the warehouse of raw materials for the elixir, and the selected materials are stored for the upcoming use. Therefore, with the change in the demand for a certain batch of medicinal materials, the medicinal materials stored here are changing. We don't have access to the information they currently have in store, so it's hard to tell which warehouse it is. ”
After speaking, he turned to Wan Peng again, as if he was waiting for Wan Peng's opinion. Wan Peng just whispered a "hmm" in response, and then looked at the light curtain, "How long has someone been patrolling?"
Zhao Dong shook his head again, "Generally speaking, the central pharmacy of the Boluo Temple is not a high-level confidential position, and it is unlikely that there will be regular inspections. However, what we don't know for sure is when they will come in and pick up their medicine. ”
Wan Peng looked at Xie Ting, as if he had made a decision, "Let's go in." Zhao Dong, you bring a capable brother and go in with me and Xie Ting. Cheng Mo, you take the others and stay here for the time being. If anything, get my signal and then take another action. ”
With that, he put his right hand on the cave wall again, followed the endoscope, and quickly dug out a graphic channel with a diameter of about three feet, and with a slight leap, he took the lead in entering the medicine storehouse, and after that, the others entered one after another.
The Chinese medicine in the medicine library is fragrant, and Wan Peng knows that they are indeed the best medicinal materials when he smells it slightly. He motioned for the others to find a place to hide first, while he himself radiated all his spiritual sense and directly explored the space.
As Zhao Dong said, the layout of the medicine warehouse here is indeed a group of sixteen, a total of four groups. There are other medicine depots around this medicine storehouse, and they are not in any of the surrounding places.
Further out, Wan Peng's spiritual sense could not be reached. The building materials here are relatively special, almost isolating the flow of natural aura, in order to achieve the best preservation effect of medicinal herbs. In the same way, the divergence and operation of spiritual consciousness are also affected by it, and what Wan Peng can detect is only the size of a room in Xiangling.
Zhao Dong looked at Wan Peng and said softly, "Captain, why don't I and my brothers go out directly to reconnoiter the route?"
Wan Peng shook his head. "No, I can't. Our current attire is completely different from the attire of the staff inside the central pharmacy, and in this special period, as long as it is discovered, there will be hidden dangers. Since you said that someone will come regularly to fetch medicinal herbs, we might as well wait here. Even if one person comes, we can get his clothes and reduce the risk of us going out. ”
When Wan Peng said this, he turned his head to look at Xie Ting and asked Xie Ting for advice. Xie Ting nodded in agreement. Zhao Dong did not object again, and the four of them went to the four corners and sat down.
Xie Ting selectively packed some medicinal herbs into her own rings. Wan Peng, on the other hand, was more like a cultivator, he closed his eyes when he sat down, and never moved again. Zhao Dong and his brothers were always vigilant, and sometimes they looked at Wan Peng as if they were asleep, and there was a slight doubt in their eyes.
But after a while, their doubts were dispelled. It had been an hour and a half since they entered. Wan Peng still didn't open his eyes, and said softly, "Attention, someone is coming." There are two people in total, and we hide them first to see if they will say anything in order to get more information. ”
Is there anyone? Zhao Dong and his brothers, who are proficient in reconnaissance, did not feel it. However, when Wan Peng said this, they didn't dare to be careless, and their whole bodies were tense like strings.
