Mist is heavy and the light is dim.
In the depths of this smoke-filled Estate, a Gray circular building stands alone.
There are no windows around, and the rough Cement Wall tightly seals the interior of the building.
The iron gate was tightly closed, with complicated Giant Tree Pattern carved on it, and the branches were winding and circling, as if they were some kind of Totem Symbol.
The whole pattern exudes an ancient and majestic Aura, making people unable to help but stop and stare, full of awe and speculation about the space behind the door.
It seems that once you step in, you will step into a completely different mysterious world.
At this moment, more than twenty people have gathered here, and they are all treasure hunters who have fought their way into Estate.
Everyone gathered around Iron Door, eager to try various methods to break through this obstacle.
Someone reached out and pushed the door hard, but the heavy Iron Door didn't move at all.
Someone squatted down and squinted close to the crack of the door, trying to peek behind the door, but all they saw was darkness.
Some people even dug out Lockpicking Tools from their backpacks, put their hands into Keyhole, and played with it with all their concentration.
However, the lock was obviously extremely delicate and complicated, and no matter how much they tried, it didn't even produce the slightest reaction.
"How to get in?!"
Everyone's faces were full of eagerness.
According to the intelligence data of Mysterious Man, Golden Benba Vase should be hidden in Underground Vault inside this building.
But now this fan Iron Door has become an insurmountable obstacle between them and the treasure.
"Get out of the way, let us come!"
At this time, a rough voice suddenly sounded, breaking the deadlock.
Everyone looked around and saw two burly men striding forward, none other than Black River Twins.
Their chests were exposed, and under their bronzed skin, their muscles bulged like two angry-looking Vajras.
When they came to Iron Door, the two of them didn't talk nonsense. At the same time, they rounded their big fists and hit Iron Door hard with all their strength.
"Bang!"
The first punch landed, and the sound of impact made everyone's ears buzz, as if Iron Door was really going to be smashed into a hole on the spot.
Then, the second punch, the third punch...
Every punch carried tremendous force, and there were even shallow marks where Iron Door was hit.
However, that's all.
No matter how Black River Twins used his brute force and violent attacks, Iron Door still stood there firmly.
At most, he trembled a few times symbolically.
These few tremors were more like a contemptuous gesture, demonstrating its unimaginable solidity and thickness.
Black River Twins's face turned red, his chest heaved violently, and he was breathing heavily.
Looking at Iron Door who still stood firm, his eyes were filled with frustration.
When other people look at me and I look at you, they also look helpless and unwilling.
Time passed minute by minute.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the longer they are blocked here, the more competitors there will be and the chance of seizing the treasure will become smaller and smaller.
Looking around the entire building, the thick walls look cold and majestic under the Mist light, and the solid structure exudes an unshakable Aura.
This is simply a Military Fortress.
Some people even secretly speculate that they can defend against the Missile attack, right?
No wonder Lu Family was so confident that he safely hid Golden Benba Vase here.
Fang Cheng glanced at Nail Head.
I saw him with his arms folded in front of his chest, leaning on a stone pillar nearby, with a look of watching the excitement on his face.
It seemed as if the closed door Iron Door in front of him and everyone's anxiety had nothing to do with him.
As for everyone else around, they all stared blankly, and there seemed to be no feasible solution.
Fang Cheng secretly considered whether he should give it a try.
Perhaps using Qilin Arm's charged attack can break this specially reinforced Iron Door.
At this moment, as the noisy footsteps approached from far away, another group of treasure hunters hurriedly arrived.
Among the crowd, the mysterious man with an ordinary appearance who had appeared in the Secret Realm stood out.
Another middle-aged man followed closely behind him.
These new arrivals couldn't help but be slightly startled when they saw the embarrassment of everyone being blocked outside by Iron Door.
They quickly exchanged glances with each other, both immersed themselves in the current situation, and took stock of this seemingly indestructible fortress.
"Professor, how about I go try it?"
Li Dingjian passed Mental Link, reciting a sentence silently in his heart, his tone a bit eager to try.
"Don't worry, it's not the time yet."
The professor's thoughts came calmly, rejecting the proposal. "It would be more appropriate to wait until more people participate in the treasure hunt before taking action."
Li Dingjian heard this, nodded slightly, suppressed his thoughts for the time being, and patiently waited for the best opportunity.
He has full confidence in his ability as "Perception Pulse".
This ability is like a sophisticated Detector, which can keenly sense the internal structure of electronic and mechanical equipment and explore the subtle changes.
If you add the professor's powerful Mental Energy boost, it's like equipping this Detector with a super powerful Engine.
Even complex and sophisticated Electronic Surveillance Equipment can be easily cracked and destroyed.
Not to mention a mere lock.
When two people communicate with each other consciously.
Fang Cheng, who was standing on the edge of the crowd, quietly observed their actions from the corner of his eye.
At this time, Bao Ye beside him suddenly spoke:
"Forget it, A San it's up to you to take action!"
Black Wolf couldn't help but look puzzled when he heard this, turned his head and asked softly:
"Isn't A San good at Bone Contraction Skill? Why, he also knows how to pick locks?"
Bao Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, with a look of helplessness on his face, and explained:
"This is his life-saving trick. He wasn't going to use it easily at first, but now you see, there are more and more people. If it continues, Golden Benba Vase will really fall into the hands of others."
A San received the instruction and immediately stepped forward, reaching out to push away the few people who were still tinkering with the door lock.
Many teams on site have specially brought professionals with Locking Techniques capabilities in order to cope with the current situation.
It's a pity that everyone tried their best before, but they couldn't shake this fan Iron Door at all.
At this moment, everyone's eyes are focused on A San.
I saw him staring at Keyhole, taking a deep breath, and then slowly stretched out his right hand Index Finger.
It was as if there were living things surging under the skin of the fingers. The fingers actually softened and deformed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In an instant, it was as soft as plasticine kneaded casually in a child's hands.
Then, he inserted his finger directly into Keyhole.
A San looked focused, like a Surgeon who is doing fine Surgery.
As soon as he penetrated it, a slight friction sound could be heard quietly. His fingers moved flexibly inside the Keyhole, and "clicking" sounds could be heard from time to time.
After three turns and two turns, another crisp "click" sound was heard.
As if declaring success, the heavy Iron Door slowly moved inward, making a low "crunching" sound.
In more than ten seconds, the iron tiger that had left everyone helpless was finally broken.
Everyone present immediately held their breath and stared at the scene inside without blinking.
After opening the door, the first thing that comes into view is a long and deep passage.
The walls are made of bricks and stones, and time has left mottled traces on them. Moss grows wantonly in the gaps, adding a bit of eerie greenness to the passage.
As if a sensor was triggered, dim light emitted from the lamps arranged at intervals at the top of the passage.
The light seemed very weak, as if it would be swallowed up by darkness at any time, casting strange light and shadows on the ground and walls.
On both sides of the passage, there are also carved patterns of beasts of different shapes, some with angry eyes, or with teeth and claws, as if they are guarding some ulterior secret.
Everyone's eyes widened, and the greed in their hearts was instantly ignited, like hungry wolves seeing a fat lamb, and they rushed forward one after another.
For a moment, shouts and pushing sounds intertwined and became a chaotic mess.
All they could see was the treasure behind the door. They didn't care about thanking the person who unlocked the door, or what potential Danger there was inside. They couldn't wait to run towards the depths of the passage.
"Let's go!"
Bao Ye gritted his teeth and waved his arms, calling for Fang Cheng, Black Wolf and others to follow.
Taking advantage of his fat body, he arrogantly pushed the people in front of him to the side and squeezed out a "Broad Avenue" for himself, which caused a lot of yelling and curses around him.
Although the others were flushed with anger, due to the oath they had made before, they could not punch the fat man with their fists, so they could only vent their dissatisfaction by muttering in their mouths.
Li Dingjian, who was standing outside the door, looked at the crowd swarming in and couldn't help asking in a low voice:
"What now?"
The professor frowned slightly and replied in a deep voice:
"Follow in and adapt to circumstances."
Having said that, he followed behind the large army without hesitation.
At this moment, there were about thirty or forty people entering Underground Vault, accounting for almost half of all treasure hunters.
In this short period of time, so many people can arrive here smoothly.
In addition to the two fierce generals Fang Cheng and Nail Head who took the lead in charging into the battle, the professor and Li Dingjian also contributed a lot.
Previously, the two of them were running around, assisting other teams to suppress the guards and break through the defense lines. They spent a lot of time, so they arrived a little late.
Everyone walked along the winding path down the passage, their steps hurried and yet somewhat vigilant.
Although the treasure Underground Vault is hidden in this place, many devices are installed to guard against thieves.
But among these treasure hunters who are pregnant with Special Abilities, which one is not a brave and skilled person who has experienced hundreds of battles?
Either relying on their superb skills or keen intuition, as well as the intelligence records they had obtained previously, they easily cracked the hidden Danger one by one.
As we go deeper step by step, we are getting closer and closer to our dream goal.
Everyone looked deeper and could vaguely see a tall arch, with a faint light shining inside the door.
It seemed to be tempting them and continued to move faster.
Located more than ten meters underground, in a building Arched Hall.
There were only a few wall lamps emitting dim yellow light trying to dispel the darkness, making the entire space shadowy.
In the center of the hall, a simple stone platform stood quietly like a silent guardian.
On the stone platform, there is Golden Benba Vase, which everyone covets at all costs.
This bottle is only thirty centimeters tall. Although it is small in stature, it seems to contain endless power, and it has the potential to reach up to the sky.
It has a slender neck, a round belly and a thick belly, with Wish-Granting Cloud Pattern as its garment.
The cloud patterns spread out layer by layer, like Auspicious Clouds surging in the sky, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Dharma Conch, Dharma Wheel, Jeweled Parasol, Lotus and other patterns are engraved on it, adding a bit of Buddhist charm Spiritual Qi.
The bottle seems to be made of Pure Gold, and it shines with a bright yellow light.
Several kinds of gemstones are inlaid in it, such as translucent beeswax, bright coral, and deep Lapis Lazuli, just like the stars scattered in the night sky, making Golden Benba Vase extraordinarily luxurious.
Let it shine with its unique dazzling light in this dark hall, making it appear extremely extraordinary, mysterious and profound.
At this moment, around the stone platform, there were four people wearing Black Robe.
Their bodies are thin and their sleeves are wide.
All four of them stood solemnly with their hands clasped together, their eyebrows lowered and their eyes lowered.
He seemed to be immersed in some mysterious ritual, turning a deaf ear to the faint shouts of death and gunfire coming from the outside world.
If you look carefully, their faces are covered with weird Incantation Script.
Those Incantation Script seemed to be alive, twisting and twisting on the skin like tadpoles, exuding an indescribable evil nature that made people fearful.
Suddenly, one of them, Black Robed Man, slowly opened his eyes with deep eyes and murmured to himself:
"It came faster than expected..."
After a pause, he turned aside again, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone:
"Lu Tao, it seems that the guards you trained are not very good."
As the voice fell, a sturdy man quickly took a step forward.
He was wearing a Gray uniform, which perfectly outlined his strong figure.
Facing this skinny Black Robed Man, who looked as if he would collapse in the wind, he looked respectful and bowed his head quickly:
"Return to Second Elder, you are a slave and incompetent."
As he spoke, his face was filled with shame, and a thin layer of sweat quietly appeared on his forehead.
He hurriedly raised his hand and wiped it away gently, fearing that this slight faux pas would be noticed by Second Elder who was carrying his body on his back, so he immediately assumed a more submissive posture.
This can't help but blame him for being so cautious.
Because the old man in front of him, who seems to be in his dying years, is the Second Elder and Lu Shihua who are said to have been dead for more than ten years. Apart from the family head, Second Elder and Lu Shihua have the highest strength and authority in the entire Lu Family.
This person had been Secluded Cultivation in the Family Secret Realm before, living in seclusion, but he suddenly appeared half a month ago and hosted this Fate-Reversing Plan with all his strength.
As a "family son", Lu Tao has always been in awe of him and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
Lu Shihua pondered for a moment, then issued an order:
"You go out now and block it for a moment. When I complete Sacrifice Ceremony, you can evacuate with me."
"Yes, Second Elder."
Lu Tao responded in a low voice, then showed hesitation. "What about the remaining guards?"
Lu Shihua's eyes flashed with a cold light for an instant, and his voice was without any warmth:
"As Lu Family guards, they have been raised by their family and have fulfilled their duties. Now at the critical moment, they sacrifice their lives for the family. It is a worthy death and it is a supreme honor."
After saying this, he raised his head slightly, with desperate determination in his eyes.
"Lu Family has been laying out the plan for decades, and all the hard work has been put into this. Tonight is the time to close the net. I will never allow any mistakes to occur. Do you understand?"
Lu Tao Hearing this, his heart seemed to be blown by a cold wind, and he shuddered involuntarily.
He quickly lowered his head further and replied loudly:
"I understand that I will do my best and will not make any mistakes. I hope Second Elder can rest assured."
Lu Shihua ignored it, closed his eyes immediately, and muttered something, as if he was whispering an ancient blessing.
The Black Robe around him trembled slightly, vaguely surrounded by a mysterious force.
At this time, the Golden Benba Vase light on the stone platform flickered, becoming more and more dazzling, as if echoing this mysterious ceremony.
