Chapter 43 The Robber Who Fell Into the Treasure House

I found a safe tavern and booked a private room, and then I summoned several humanoid familiars to discuss it with them. In fact, everyone's opinions are similar. Everyone knows that those damn shadow creatures must be on this planet, but for some reason, ordinary people don't seem to know about it. Or maybe they know, but I asked the wrong question. .

In the end, Ling's advice to me was to first ask a senior person who knew the core secrets. You probably wouldn't get much useful information just by contacting low-level people. After all, some things won't be known to everyone. After getting the hint, I decided to go back to find the female general. By this time, I already knew about her being demoted in the palace. This woman seems to be a news figure here because she is very beautiful. There are many folk rumors after she was demoted.

Now that she's not on duty in the key area, it's much easier to handle. I'll dig in the old way. The pioneers and rose vines were digging in front, and I was following behind. After advancing for about a few kilometers, the pioneers and rose vines suddenly stopped.

"Why did you stop?"

"Master, it seems that an underground building has been dug."

"Underground building?" I walked to the front in confusion. The pioneers and rose vines expanded a little space to both sides to facilitate my observation. Our way forward was blocked by a brick wall. I walked over and carefully observed the situation near the entrance of the cave. The rose vines and pioneers seemed to have penetrated the rammed earth layer and lime waterproof layer, and the remaining brick wall was probably the third layer of wall. I knocked hard on the wall. The stone wall seemed to have no echo. It seemed that there was a very thick wall inside. "Can you go around it?"

"I'm not sure." Rose Vine said in my mind: "My tentacles stretched very far around and couldn't find the boundary. This thing is quite large. It may be an underground palace complex."

"Palaces?" An evil smile appeared on my lips. "Give me some room, I want to see what's inside."

"Yes." Rose Vine and the Pioneers immediately began to expand around, and this place soon became a huge space. Summon the tanks out. Then let the rose vine stick its tentacles to the wall, and then let the tank knock the wall with its attacking forelimbs. No matter how hard something is, it will vibrate, but I am not strong enough and the vibration produced is not enough to judge the internal structure. Tank is different, he's strong enough, and when he hits it, it's almost like a pile driver. The vibration sensor of Rose Vine can determine the internal structure and general environment based on the echo, and due to spiritual contact, I can also feel the internal situation simultaneously.

The tank aimed at the center of the wall we dug out. After a muffled sound, the vibration receptors on the rose vine immediately returned the image generated by the first vibration echo. The image of this layer is still very blurry, but this is only the first wave. Afterwards, every time the echo hits a new structural fault, there will be an echo. After multiple waveforms are superimposed, a complete structural picture can be obtained.

The image formed by the first echo only roughly determined the range, and the second beam returned quickly. At this time, the image in my mind could already be regarded as a structural diagram of the underground palace. "Good guy, it's really big!" The echo showed that although this place was only one-tenth the area of ​​the palace complex on the ground, it had more than thirty floors. The actual area is much larger than the ground part.

The third echo came back after a few seconds. This time the waveform obviously changed a lot. The simulated image returned showed the situation inside the palace. Because it is a waveform imaging, there is no color, but you can still roughly judge what is inside based on the shape and structure. There are many things in the palace. But there is one place that particularly attracts me. In the waveform imaging I saw a rather large room filled with scattered debris. This room is almost two thousand square meters, and the interior is full of these debris. Because there is no color, it is impossible to see what these fragments are, but the shock wave shows that these things are very hard. And their shapes are mostly regular. What caught my attention even more was that the walls and door of this room were specially treated and were obviously much thicker than other rooms. There are only three rooms in the entire underground palace that are treated in this way. I believe that such a special room cannot be filled with garbage, so the identity of these small rules can be easily revealed. They should be gold.

There are only three specially reinforced rooms underground in the palace. One of them is a bedroom-type room, probably a room dedicated to the king; the other one contains a large number of weapons and armors, and is most likely a collection room or something like that. And this room is full of such small objects. Apart from gold, I really can't think of anything else that the king could specifically concentrate on such a room.

Sound vibrations image soft objects poorly. But it's not completely devoid of images. By feeling the difference in vibrations, I was able to determine the number and location of people in the underground palace. Maybe it's because this is a reserve palace, so there's no one there for the time being. The sound waves showed that there were only a few guards and cleaning servants here, and most of them were concentrated near the entrance. After all, no one would have thought that someone would break in from the ground.

The wall we are standing on seems to be the outer wall of some bedrooms prepared for servants. Since there is no one living here now, and it is not an important area, there is no one at all. I snapped my fingers backward. "Tank. Come on harder."

The tank retreated a little. Then it hit the wall with a bang. The masonry wall could not withstand such an impact and was knocked down instantly. But there is actually a wooden fence inside. No wonder the echo signal just now was so unclear.

Needless to say, the rose vine's tentacles inserted themselves into the wood and pulled them all down. Behind the wooden frame is another layer of brick wall. Tank smashed the wall twice with his forelimbs and it was shattered. The rose vines pulled out the fragments of bricks, and the tank hit them two more times before the wall was completely penetrated. Inside this layer of bricks is a layer of wooden boards, which are probably used to prevent moisture. They are quite thin and have just been penetrated along with the wall. Taking back the large familiar that dug the tunnel, I summoned Bailang and Dart, and then summoned Yeyue and Amynis. Bailang is a special magic pet in tunnel-type areas, and its dart speed is fast enough. Amynis is good at disguise, and Yeyue can make people see God silently. They are all necessary magic pets for stealing chickens and petting dogs.

After entering the room through the small hole, Bai Lang had already made sure that there was no living person in the nearby area, otherwise he would have heard it. Since there was no one around, we walked out of the room and into the corridor outside. The previous sound wave had already drawn the map, and I passed the map to Bai Lang, who has a better memory. Particularly good at navigating mazes. He followed Bailang and ran all the way, running for more than half the distance before slowing down. A place like the treasure house is not an ordinary room. One-fifth of the guards in the entire underground palace are concentrated here, and there are also many people walking around.

Bailang suddenly stopped at a corner of the passage. He turned back to signal to us that someone was approaching, and then began to move forward carefully. Ye Yue flipped her body and swam directly to the top of the wall of the passage. I also walked to the wall and leaned against it, waiting for the opportunity to attack. The chatter of several people came from the side road next to the passage, and it sounded like there were quite a lot of people.

The footsteps are getting closer. The other party soon arrived near the corner. The moment the first person walked out of the passage, our side suddenly started to work at the same time. Bailang jumped out first, using inertia to rush directly to the opposite wall, then ran over the wall and fell behind the group of people. The soldiers suddenly saw a white shadow flash past, and their eyes followed it instinctively. But as soon as they turned around they realized it was a trap. When they turned back, they only saw a beautiful face and a pair of breathtakingly beautiful eyes on the face. A bright silver light flashed, and everyone in the passage was frozen in that moment forever. Yeyue put down her goggles and covered her eyes again, turned around and gave me an OK gesture. There was no sound at all during the whole process, and there was another group of people dozens of meters away from us. But they knew nothing of it.

I pointed to the front, then to Yeyue, then to the right, then to myself, and then to the left. Yeyue understood what I meant instantly. Yeyue and Fei Dart acted as two attractors respectively. Yeyue and I dodged out of that intersection together. The people on the right were all scolded before they could understand what was going on. The people on the left only saw a flash of figures in front of them, and then felt a chill on their necks. They wanted to shout but couldn't. He stretched out his hand to touch his neck and felt some warm liquid. When he put his hand in front of his eyes, he saw that it was blood. When they knew what had happened, they could do nothing. Their eyes became darker and darker, and then they collapsed helplessly. One by one the heads rolled out. I knocked the shining eternity back onto my arm. No weapon other than eternity could do it this time because they were not sharp enough.

After taking care of the enemies at the intersection, the rest is easy. There is a small room in front, with almost two hundred soldiers inside. This is the only concentration point of soldiers nearby. After taking out this place, block it with a small group. No one will come in and cause trouble. The best way to deal with this kind of people gathered together is to use bombs. But I can't make too much of a difference. It's not good to alert people outside. After thinking about it I decided to use magic.

Ling is summoned and she will release a black hole magic in the room. Although the preparation of this magic takes a long time, no one here knows that we are nearby, so there is no need to worry about time. The magic was completed smoothly, and the sudden appearance of the black hole in the room completely confused the soldiers chatting inside. Due to the strong suction, these people had no way to do anything. The high-speed backflow of air prevented their shouts from being heard, and they were all sucked back. I summoned the sickle, then wrapped his spider silk around my waist, and let the sickle insert the sickle-shaped blade into the wall to fix myself, and then I dragged the spider silk out.

With the safety rope, I don't have to worry about being sucked into the black hole. I swaggered towards the strong men in the room who had grabbed fixed objects or inserted their weapons into the ground. These people are quick-reacting people, and relying on a black hole to suck them in would take too much time. I walked over to one of them, and he was struggling to hold a pillar. His body had been sucked up, but he had not yet flown out. I touched his hand with a small dagger. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and looked at me with horrified eyes. In the end, before I stabbed him, I couldn't help but let go and was sucked into the black hole. Others like him were horrified to see it, because they knew that I would definitely do the same to them.

I quickly took care of most of them and then made my way to the last strongman. This guy just relied on a spear inserted into the ground to prevent himself from being sucked away. I walked over and stopped next to him. He looked at me and swallowed, obviously very frightened. In his horrified eyes, I grabbed the spear and pulled it out, and he screamed desperately. But I couldn't hear anything, the sound was blown back into the black hole by the air current.

Maybe because someone was hanging on it, the gun was inserted quite tightly. I simply turned eternity into a hammer, and then compared it with his head to see which way to start, and then compared it with the ground. The ground was still easy to smash. I swung a sledgehammer and hit the ground with one hammer. The masonry floor immediately broke apart. The spear flew out together with the brick.

Looking at the spear flying out, I was surprised to find that there was no one on it. I looked down and saw that this guy was holding my feet and hanging there. The potential of man and earth is indeed unlimited. In this environment, he was able to climb up a step and grab my leg. Seeing that he is well-dressed, he must be a high-ranking official and be valuable. I smiled and snapped my fingers. The black hole disappeared immediately and the guy fell to the ground. Unexpectedly, he didn't stop immediately to catch his breath. Instead, he flipped up and jumped towards the wall on the side, where a knife was actually stuck. I'm really becoming more and more interested in this guy. I don't care about those who are simply brave, those people are idiots, but I don't like people who are too smooth, because such people are worse than brave idiots. But this guy is pretty nice. The fear before showed that he was not a fool, and the fact that he dared to take the knife now showed that he was not the kind of villain who followed the crowd. He had integrity and was afraid of death. Such people are talents. They are flesh and blood, know what they can do, and know what they cannot do. Elites should be such people.

After getting the knife, he immediately prepared to rush forward, but suddenly he found that he could not move his feet. He looked down and saw that everything from his waist down had turned into stone. When he looked up again, he saw a beautiful woman leaning against my neck and looking at him.

"You...!" He struggled again, but found that he couldn't move at all, so he simply threw the knife in his hand towards me.

Ding. The long knife was blocked by an invisible wall of air. I have three magic armors on me. I would be an idiot if I could be hurt by a broken knife!

"Yes, you are very brave. I admire talents very much. Are you willing to follow me?"

"You're dreaming." The other party actually hit the ground with a violent palm. With a bang, the room, which was almost torn by the black hole, was completely unable to withstand it. A large ditch suddenly opened on the ground, and he fell into the room below along with the bricks.

The sickle jumped out from behind, jumped hard on the ground, and with a bang, our half also fell down. The guy was already lying on the ground after falling. But he still couldn't move. Petrification is not so easy to recover from. I didn't kill him not only because of his character, but when he hugged my leg just now, the system judged it to be an attack. Therefore, I saw the attribute display on Star Pupil. This guy was actually level 2,000, and he was also a rare command NPC. People like him are worth more than gems in the game, and you are lucky to see one.

"Don't waste your efforts. You can't run away."

"Huh, even if I crawl, I can crawl away." He was quite angry.

"What about this?" I waved forward, Yeyue walked over and stared at his arm, and then the eyepiece flashed. He was surprised to find that his arm was also petrified. Although he knew that the cause of the petrification was ours before, he didn't see who petrified him. Only now did he know that it was this woman's eyes.

"what are you?"

"Thing? I am a descendant of the God Clan, and you actually call me a thing? Believe it or not, I will petrify your eyelids so that you can't blink, and I will suffocate you to death?"

He didn't answer, but looked at me again. "Are you from the Wushuang Empire or the Tianshuang Kingdom?"

"Now is the time for me to ask questions. You are a prisoner, so be honest with me. Now tell me what other mechanisms are in the treasure house? I know there is a mezzanine in that wall, which is not like an ordinary room. You'd better not deceive me. Otherwise you will be in pain."

"What if I don't tell you?"

"You will tell." I nodded to Yeyue again, and Yeyue immediately turned him over with one hand, and then put it on his chest. He immediately started coughing violently, and Yeyue stood up and waited for him to cough. I saw him coughing harder and harder on the ground, and finally his face turned purple from coughing. I nodded again, Yeyue squatted down and tapped his chest again, and the coughing stopped immediately. But it looked like he was almost done with it.

"How do you feel now? Do you feel like your chest is on fire? Do you want to say it now? If you don't cooperate, it will be worse next time until you cough your lungs out."

"You are a devil."

"Well, I know. You are not the first person to say this. The previous ones all died miserably." I pushed away the mask and looked at him with a smile. "I forgot to tell you. My specialty is the manipulation of undead creatures. Even if you die, you must continue to work for me. You can never stop for the rest of your life."

"Undead?"

"That's what you call the dead." Forgot that the names of the undead on their planet are different!

"you this……!"

"Stop scolding. Save some energy and cough a few more times! Now tell me where the mechanism in the room is."

He looked at me, then at the beautiful monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake next to him, and finally gave in. "On the door axis. When entering, do not open the doors on both sides at the same time. Open the right door panel first, then open the left half, then close the right door panel, take out the things, and then close the left half of the door. If the order is wrong The gate behind the door will fall down. Then fill it with acid water. Gold and jewelry are not afraid of acid, but intruders will definitely be dissolved."

"It's really poisonous. But this kind of mechanism seems to be of no use to me. Is there anything else?"

"The acid water machine is connected to an alarm. If it doesn't work, you can manually drive the steel fork system to skewer everyone in the room. The gold and jewelry are placed in specific positions. When the steel fork shuttles The jewelry won’t be harmed. But there’s definitely no place for the people inside to hide.”

"Are these two mechanisms the only ones?"

He said very angrily: "It will be useless for people who are not dead like this to install any mechanisms. Anyway, after the forward gate is lowered, it cannot be opened from the inside. Just shut it down for ten and a half days and the assassin inside will starve to death." If he dares to steal the treasury, let him starve to death holding the gold!"

"Okay, I believe what you say." I turned to Sickle and said, "Take him with you. Let's go to the treasure house. There are only four guards in front of us, and the only exit is on our side. We are not afraid of them running away."

"I advise you not to think too simply." He said very proudly: "Those four guards are not ordinary people."

"I know. It's just four demon dolls. No matter how powerful they are, what can they do? Brainless demon dolls are better behaved than puppies."

We took him to the entrance of the treasure house very quickly. There was no need to use any tactics at all to deal with the devil. The specialty of this guild is the production of golems, and we can say that we know the golems very well. This kind of iron skin bump is very easy to deal with. He asked them to follow him, and dug out four high-level demon dolls made by the guild from Fenglong Space, and then sealed the guy's mouth. We walked towards the treasure house door together.

The four golems immediately turned to look at me when they saw me, and then lined up in front of the passage to face me. A demon puppet said: "It is forbidden to approach the important place of the treasury. Report your intention."

One of the golems I released came out. "We are a new type of Guardian Commander. The four of you have been eliminated. Now hand over the core and we will send you back for transformation."

"Your Majesty." The four demon puppets saluted together, and then opened the lid on their chests. The commander who was carrying the scythe shook his head desperately, but to no avail. The golem didn't even look at him. He just took out his core and stopped together.

Without its core, a golem is just a pile of scrap metal. The guard commander was put down by me. He looked at these puppets in surprise and tried desperately to say something. I took off the sealing tape from his mouth, and he immediately shouted: "How did you do that? Why are they so obedient? They should be able to check the password!"

"The password corresponds to what humans use. The devil itself cannot lie in the memory of the devil. If I ask my devil to fake this command, they will naturally think it is true, so there is no need for a password. I There are also many demons in the forces, and I have already studied this thing thoroughly."

"Hmph! I actually let you take advantage of this."

I ignored him and first erased the magic inscriptions on the core. Then I took out the guild's design drawing and found the corresponding operating magic circle on it and printed it directly on the core. After inputting a little magic power and stuffing it back into the body of the golem, the four golems immediately resumed their actions. The captured commander moved for a while at first, but when he saw the golems saluting me, he was completely stunned.

"My lord, I'm just here. I'm waiting for your orders." The puppet said seriously.

I nodded. "Watch from here. If anyone comes here, they will be killed without mercy. No one can be let go."

"Order confirmed." The four demons returned to the door, but now they have become my people.

When I walked to the door, I opened the door in the order instructed by the commander, and a bright light immediately flashed in the room. There are many strange shelves neatly arranged in the huge warehouse. The shelves on the left are filled with gold, while the shelves on the right are filled with various gems.

"Haha. Now I'm rich." I rushed in excitedly. The amount of things in this house is not small, and it will take a lot of time to move it back. Yeyue and the others also followed in, but the moment the last sickle came in, the prisoner actually rolled off the sickle and rolled out of the door. Just as we were about to give chase, a heavy gate suddenly fell down from the top of the gate and sealed it shut. We only heard a banging sound from behind, and four metal pipes suddenly popped out from the four corners of the roof. Then there was a loud bang and four huge pipe mouths began to pour water into the room crazily at the same time. The yellow-green liquid is not a good thing at first glance. And they also exude a pungent sour smell, which is more pungent than the smell of glacial acetic acid. "Everyone go back." I opened the Phoenix Dragon Space and shouted to the demon pets.

"What should you do?" Yeyue asked me.

"Let Shuangxue come out, she should be able to deal with these things."

"clear."

When everyone jumped into the Fenglong space, Shuangxue also jumped out, and I had to climb onto the shelf. The liquid on the ground is already more than a foot deep, and it is still rising at a terrifying speed. Shuangxue immediately covered her nose as soon as she came out. "Oh my God! What does this smell like?"

"Don't worry about the smell. This is strong acid. Freeze those four nozzles immediately."

"Yes." Shuangxue snapped her fingers, and a white ring of ice rippled out from under her feet. The water surface froze instantly and quickly extended to the falling water column. Finally, the four water outlets were also frozen. Due to the frozen ice blocking the water outlet, no new liquid has flowed into the room, but the liquid that poured in just a while ago is already one meter deep. If Shuangxue hadn't acted quickly, the room would have been completely filled in just a minute or two.

Before the Fenglong space was closed, Yeyue and Amynis, who had just dodged in, ran out again. The frozen acid liquid had no lethality, so they stood directly on the ice.

Yeyue looked at the door and said, "Really, I was deceived!"

Amynis said: "He did say that there was strong acid water before, but I didn't expect that he would activate this mechanism. But is the steel piercing he said true?"

Amynis hasn't finished speaking yet. Many small holes suddenly opened in the surrounding walls, and then a sharp spear tip protruded from each hole. Shuangxue looked around and said, "Emenis, you really have a crow's mouth!"

Yeyue said: "If you don't mind, you'd better think of a solution quickly. I don't want to become a meat skewer."

"Lingling, come out and help." I called Lingling out and pointed to the wall. "One person at a time, cut off the tip of the gun."

"clear."

Lingling's holy sword and my eternity are both extremely sharp weapons. The two of us jumped to a wall and then swept along the wall. The protruding gun heads immediately fell to the ground with a clatter. Almost immediately after we finished cutting. The barrel of the gun suddenly began to extend outward. Then we were all pushed back by the barrel of the gun, and finally hit the shelf and got stuck there. But because these guns don't have heads. It couldn't poke anyone at all, they were all stuck there by us, and it just pushed us up against the shelf, unable to move.

It's easy to handle if it's not life-threatening. We used our weapons to cut off the barrel of the gun that was pressed against our body again, and then cut off the entire back half of the gun that came out, so that the long gun would no longer pose a threat to us. Use the same method to cut off all the other gun barrels and remove them, and the gun stabs in the room will be completely useless.

I looked at the jewelry and gold in the room with a smile. "Hey, the agency is done, now it's harvest time. Let's carry forward our tradition and don't let go of any of it."

I always leave no grass behind during my robberies, and now that I'm in, there's no reason why a few items should be left behind. We dug out the jewelry that was frozen under the acid liquid. These things cannot be wasted anyway. I used this time to roughly check my harvest. The most abundant thing here is gold, accounting for almost 80% of the harvested items. However, considering that the price of gold in the game is not as high as in reality, this is not a big deal of wealth. The real value is in the jewelry. The variety of gems here covers almost all common gem types, and there are actually more than a dozen varieties that have never been seen before. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t know it, or because there are no such gems on the earth. Anyway, it can Everything in this room should be good.

In addition to ordinary gems, a small amount of alchemical materials are also stored here. These are not ordinary street stalls. The materials found in the treasure house are all extremely rare and super valuable items. In terms of market price alone, their value has exceeded the sum of the gold. In addition, I also found a lot of red-striped magic crystals, which means I can make a few more golems.

We were trying our best to move things into Fenglong Space, but Yeyue suddenly called me: "Master, come here."

I turned around and saw Yeyue lying on a wall, tapping, not knowing what she was doing. "What's up?"

"This wall seems to be hollow and there is something inside."

"Things? Let me take a look." He leaned over and knocked on the wall, and the sound on the wall was indeed different. I called Shuangxue over and asked her to freeze the wall, and then I roasted it with fire. The wall exploded with a bang, and a hexagonal metal panel appeared behind it. There was a magic circle on the panel and a large number of runes on it.

"What is this?" Yeyue went up and knocked: "Master, listen, there is a ticking sound inside!"

"The sound of ticking? It can't be a time bomb, right?"

"That's impossible to say." Shuangxue walked up and pushed the two of us away. "Let me freeze it first. If it turns out to be a bomb, I don't want to be buried with it."

Amynis immediately said: "It shouldn't be possible, right? How could the people who built this place expect that we would break in today? A time bomb is impossible."

Shuangxue immediately asked: "What if this bomb is activated based on the triggering of the first two mechanisms? After the first two mechanisms are triggered, the bomb will also activate itself, but it will take some time to explode. If it is one of our own, he will know how to close it If it is an intruder, then...!"

"Whatever it is, just open it and you'll find out." Lingling went up and inserted her sword into the wall, then pried it hard, and a corner of the metal panel was pried out. I simply went up to help pull this thing out together. After taking it out, I discovered that it was a metal box with a regular hexagonal shape on the front and about forty centimeters thick.

Lingling inserted the sword into the gap in the box lid again, pried it upwards, and then the lid popped out with a clang. Some light yellow liquid sprayed out along with the lid, and we who couldn't avoid it were all stained. Shuangxue nervously wiped it away, but the result was that the area became larger the more she wiped it.

I stopped her. "Don't be afraid, it's just lubricant."

After listening to my words, everyone put some stuff on their clothes to their noses and smelled it. Yeyue nodded: "It's a lubricant made from fish oil. It also smells like dragon grass. It seems to be a very ancient thing."

"Everyone, look." Amynis suddenly pointed to the inside of the box for me to see. Just now, everyone was frightened by the liquid splashing out of it, and had not paid attention to the contents of the box. Now they were all dumbfounded.
