Chapter 257 Underground Treasure House
Chapter 257 Underground Treasure House
The branches and leaves shred the starlight.
Liang Qu and the other two leaned together, staring at the figure swaying back and forth. After a long period of no movement, their tense nerves gradually relaxed.
The things in the courtyard did not react to their arrival.
Maybe they weren't found?
Xiang Fangsu held his breath, pointed backwards, then extended his index and middle fingers downwards, alternating back and forth.
Everyone understands.
Ke Wenbin glanced at the ground, used the sword in his hand to clear away the dead branches and leaves, and cleared the way with his back to the courtyard.
Liang Qu and Xiang Fangsu did not turn around. They faced the courtyard, stared at the moving black shadow, and retreated in the direction where Ke Wenbin was gradually moving.
The three of them cooperated with each other and retreated a hundred feet away.
The courtyard in the distance gradually disappeared under the cover of the woods.
Returning to a house they had passed before, Xiang Fangsu closed the door and heard Ke Wenbin's slightly frightened voice behind her.
"What the hell is that?"
"do not know."
Ke Wenbin asked the wrong person, and Liang Qu and Xiang Fangsu were also confused at this time.
There is so much black air on the entire island chain that it is flowing into the water. Normally, any ordinary life form that gets close to it will die.
Coupled with the stiffness of the figure...
"Is there something coming back to life again? The Grandmaster's corpse?"
Ke Wenbin felt a toothache, but he was not afraid to kill someone without blinking an eye.
But these strange things really made him shiver in his heart and break out in cold sweats.
Xiang Fangsu shook his head: "It's unlikely. According to the boss, they killed him twice and his brain was blown up. If he survived the third time, he would be just a pile of minced meat."
Excluding the Grandmaster...
"Are they the two great tiger hunters?"
"possible!"
Xiang Fang was known for his fists and palms.
The place where they landed on the island was exactly where they had led their team to land previously. The bodies of those Wolf Smoke Martial Artists were lying on the ground, dead as hell.
It is obviously not their turn to have the "good thing" of coming back to life from the dead, and they can only be consumables.
The one sandwiched between the Grandmaster and the ordinary Wolf Smoke Martial Artist can only be the Great Tiger Hunting Martial Artist!
After Xu Yuelong came back, he did not mention the resurrection of the great martial artist.
"Could it be that a great martial arts master is different from a grandmaster, and it takes time for him to come back to life?" Ke Wenbin made a bold guess.
Xiang Fangsu nodded: "That should be the case."
Liang Qu raised his hand and asked, "Master, can we fight?"
Come here.
You can't just go there empty-handed.
Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin pondered for a while and gave an ambiguous answer.
"Maybe?"
Even if they were a normal tiger hunting master, the two of them combined would not be able to defeat him, but this was an abnormal situation.
Xu Yuelong said personally that the master who came back from the dead had slow reactions, no sense of pain, and his strength decreased by nearly 30%.
Even if the Tiger Hunter is resurrected, it is impossible for his strength to be intact.
Looking at the thing in the yard moving back and forth, it is obviously not very smart. It is questionable whether it can use any martial arts skills.
The most crucial thing is that the Ghost Mother Cult has retreated to a corner, and the emergence of two great martial artists is already the limit. It is impossible for them to be that powerful. The two tiger hunters are both at the beginner level!
With a few negative buffs piled up, it is possible that Xiang Fangsu or Ke Wenbin could defeat the opponent alone.
The only problem is that the combat environment is not friendly.
Constrained by the black aura, the two could only gather near Liang Qu. Their movements were restricted, and they had to concentrate on protecting Liang Qu.
Xiang Fangsu looked at Liang Qu and said, "A Shui, can you expand the range of your magic to at least thirty feet, or find a way to allocate a portion of it so that we can carry it with us?"
The problem came upon myself.
Liang Qu frowned in thought.
He hadn't mastered the Dragon-Tiger Golden Body yet, so he couldn't expand the range to a hundred meters, but he could divide a part of it...
“I haven’t done it, but I can give it a try.”
Liang Qu had seen the ink array drawn by Ran Zhongshi the day before yesterday and associated it with his own thunder talisman.
Perhaps we can change the direction and use the method of visualizing the thunder energy condensing into runes in the Thunder Seal Method to use the dragon and tiger energy to condense a dragon and tiger rune?
If successful, it might help Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin hold out in the black air for a while.
The two were overjoyed when they heard this and immediately asked Liang Qu to give it a try.
Liang Qu was unsure about combining martial arts for the first time, but when the pale golden dragon and tiger energy condensed and appeared in the form of runes, he knew that his method was feasible.
Two quarters of an hour later.
A door frame-shaped rune with only a head and feet but no belly appeared in the hands of Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin.
They came to the edge of Liangqu to resist the black air, stretched out their hands, a warm feeling came from the rune, a light golden light escaped, and the black fog outside actually retreated!
"it works!"
"Why does your talisman only have a frame?"
"Hmm... That's a really good question." Liang Qu remained expressionless and did not answer.
Xiang Fangsu didn't care whether the runes were complete or not, as long as they were useful. He was more concerned about how long this thing could last.
"About two quarters of an hour."
"Four quarters of an hour... more than enough." Xiang Fangsu clenched his fists, "Let's go back and explore again!"
After making all the preparations, the three of them restrained their breath, returned to the outside of the small courtyard, leaned against the wall together, and moved to the gate.
Ke Wenbin, who was at the front, stuck his head out and looked at the stone curtain at the gate. It was at this location that they had discovered the black shadow earlier.
As a result, he stared at the stone floor for a while. On the gray stone floor, there were swaying shadows of trees and leaves of all shapes, but the previous black shadow was gone!
Ke Wenbin turned his head and shook his head slightly at Liang Qu and Xiang Fangsu.
Missing?
The three of them suddenly felt the situation was difficult.
After a moment's silence, Ke Wenbin pointed inside the courtyard, indicating if they wanted to go in and take a look.
Xiang Fangsu looked at Liang Qu and saw Liang Qu nodded. The three of them quietly entered the courtyard from the entrance.
My vision suddenly became clear.
The layout of the entire courtyard is not much different from that of an ordinary house, except that the courtyard in the middle does not have flowers, rockery, or tree ponds, but is instead a simple martial arts arena.
As for the human-shaped black shadow, it was not seen.
But no matter what, it is a good thing to avoid conflict.
The three of them entered the courtyard, opened the doors and checked each room one by one. Most of the items they found were ordinary.
They groped their way to the west wing of the second courtyard, where neatly arranged containers appeared in front of everyone.
Liang Qu opened a container drawer, and inside was a whole plant of emerald green grass. Because the cabinet was tightly closed, it was not contaminated by the black smoke.
Baozhi!
"Silk grass?"
Xiang Fangsu took a glance and shook his head.
“It’s good stuff, but it’s not good enough.”
Liang Qu understood what he meant.
Two items per person, of course you should pick the truly valuable ones, there is no need to take these "ordinary goods".
But when they searched the counter, they found many precious plants, medicines and irons, but they had to wait for the real good stuff.
No.
Ke Wenbin wondered: "That shouldn't be the case. Could it be a private collection?"
He just wrote a letter to his family and had these things delivered to him immediately. It was nothing special.
Liang Qu closed his eyes, stopped listening, tapped the entire container with his knuckles, and then ran straight to a corner of the container under the puzzled gazes of Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin.
He opened the drawer, reached in and felt around, and sure enough he felt a hemp rope.
Liang Qu grabbed the hemp rope and pulled it hard.
There was a protrusion on the other diagonal stone slab, one finger higher than the other ones.
Xiang Fangsu squatted down, grabbed the stone slab and pulled it hard. Right below it, a dark underground passage suddenly opened up.
He exchanged a glance with surprise at Ke Wenbin, then turned to look at Liang Qu.
"A Shui, how do you know where the mechanism is?"
Liang Qu pointed to his ears.
"I heard it."
Ke Wenbin picked up the drawer in confusion and knocked on it, then picked up another one and knocked on it. The two sounds were exactly the same.
"Strange, why can't I hear it?"
"Go back and ask again."
Now was not the time to discuss the issue, so the three of them cleaned up the counter and went into the corridor together.
Xiang Fangsu leaned against the stone slab and looked around, confirming that there was no one there, then slowly covered it.
