Bang!

This punch was like dropping a heavy bomb into this chaotic and noisy Underground Vault, instantly shocking everyone present.

Those treasure hunters who were still eager to try now froze in place as if they had been cast Immobility Spell.

The enthusiasm and ferocity on his face instantly solidified, replaced by a look of shock and fear.

They stared at Fang Cheng wearing Evil Spirit Mask with wide eyes, as if they saw a beast suddenly bursting out from the darkness.

You must know that the attacker who was just blasted by a punch is no ordinary gangster.

In terms of strength, he is definitely not inferior to Xiong Ba who was killed by Nail Head.

He was a well-known and brave person on Underworld, but he was so vulnerable to the opponent's fists. How could he not make everyone scared?

"Do you want to fight me?"

Fang Cheng raised his head slightly and glanced at everyone through the two blood-red holes in the mask with cold eyes.

The few people standing at the front were stared at by this gaze, and their feet seemed to have roots. They wanted to move but did not dare. After hesitating again and again, they couldn't help but take a step back.

"What are you afraid of? There are only three of them in total, but we have dozens of brothers!"

In the crowd, a tall and thick-set man shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to cheer everyone up, but his high-pitched tone could not hide his weakness.

After hearing this, the other treasure hunters' faces were still full of hesitation, and their eyes glanced at Fang Cheng and the professor from time to time.

Having said that, the strength of the opposing team is extraordinary.

A person who is good at mental control can instantly disrupt everyone's minds and affect their actions.

His speed and power were astonishing, and the brutal scene just now was still vivid in his mind, and he could blow someone's head open with just one punch.

If a fight really breaks out, the stupid young man who rushes to the front will definitely be the first to suffer, and he might not even know how he died.

If Golden Benba Vase is in their hands, they can be forgiven for fighting for it.

But the key point is that Golden Benba Vase is not here now, so there is no need to fight with these difficult people!

Thinking of this, the clever man has quietly retreated, planning to leave the vault through the front door passage and chase the guy who really carries the treasure.

"Everyone, I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding. We and that foreigner are not accomplices."

At this time, the professor suddenly explained, breaking the deadlock:

"If you want to take back Golden Benba Vase, hurry up now and you can still catch up."

His voice sounded sincere and sincere, as if it had a magical power that could calm people's hearts.

As he spoke, he stepped aside and made a "please" gesture politely.

Everyone was even more stunned when they saw this, and couldn't think straight for a while.

Fang Cheng also looked at the professor in surprise.

"That's right, what are we going to fight for? We had no complaints in the past and have nothing to complain about these days. It's important to seize the treasure!"

A tall and thin man reacted first. He shouted and rushed in the direction where Mike escaped.

"That's right, chase him quickly and don't waste time, otherwise the foreigner will disappear without a trace!"

Others also came to their senses one after another. Seeing that Fang Cheng and the professor really had no intention of stopping them, they immediately swarmed into the back door and ran away along the direction of the secret passage.

Some even used Walkie-Talkie to loudly notify their accomplices outside Estate to intercept Mike who was escaping with the treasure.

In the blink of an eye, only Fang Cheng, the professor and Li Dingjian were left in the noisy Underground Vault.

Even Nail Head, who looks and behaves very strangely, is nowhere to be seen.

"Friend, thank you for your help!"

With gratitude in his eyes, the professor bowed slightly to Fang Cheng.

He knew very well that had it not been for the shocking punch that had shocked so many treasure hunters, they would not have been able to escape so easily.

Although it is not clear why the other party is helping him, in this current situation surrounded by wolves, having more help and one less enemy is naturally the best choice.

After a short pause, the professor cleared his throat and continued:

"Right now, the two of us still have matters that need to be dealt with urgently. I hope my friend will understand. We will contact you again after the matter is resolved smoothly. We will thank you greatly at that time."

Fang Cheng nodded slightly, responding to the professor's gratitude, but his eyes always fell on the face of the middle-aged man behind him.

As if wanting to see through his true face, he pondered for a while, then suddenly spoke, calling to the two people who were about to leave:

"If you don't mind, our two teams can join forces to capture Golden Benba Vase."

Seeing that the two people looked a little stunned, he immediately added:

"I still retain my previous suspicions. Lu Family must have a big conspiracy behind setting up this situation. I'm afraid it cannot be dealt with by a single team."

The professor was slightly startled when he heard this. He didn't expect that Fang Cheng would make such a suggestion at this time.

He quickly looked at Li Dingjian, and when their eyes met, they conveyed surprise and thought.

After just a moment, the professor came back to his senses, raised the corners of his mouth, showed a slightly pleased smile, and responded sincerely:

"What my friend said is absolutely true, and I have always believed that in such a crisis-ridden place, joint action is the wisest decision."

As he spoke, he turned to look at the back door, and his speech speed increased unconsciously:

"It's not a good place to stay for a long time. I wonder if our friends are traveling with us? If there is anything you want to know on the way, we can discuss it in detail."

At this moment, Li Dingjian also had a tense face, and his eyes showed urgency. It was obvious that there was indeed something very important that needed to be done.

Fang Cheng saw this and nodded slightly to express his agreement.

The three of them immediately walked quickly towards the secret passage at the back door, and their figures quickly disappeared into it.

The passage was filled with damp and moldy Aura, and only a few dim emergency lights emitted a faint light, barely illuminating the path underfoot.

In the process of returning to the ground, Fang Cheng took off Walkie-Talkie from his waist, pressed the call button, contacted Black Wolf, Bao Ye and others, and explained in a concise and concise manner what had just happened.

Then he said in a solemn tone:

"The situation has changed. I am now teaming up with a few other friends and are rushing to the ground. You will temporarily retreat outside Estate as planned. Stay vigilant at all times and wait for news from me."

On the other side, the professor's eyes flashed slightly, and he secretly communicated with the team members through Mental Link.

"Xiao Chu, Monkey, how is the situation outside?"

His voice rings directly in the heads of all team members.

Soon, a clear and capable voice responded:

"Professor, according to your instructions, we have arrived near the Mike team and are preparing to take action. We haven't alerted the enemy yet."

This is the reply from Lin Chuqiao who is standing outside Estate.

Then, the slightly deep voice of Monkey also sounded in this special "channel":

"Professor, I was at the observation point and saw a group of people chasing a blond foreigner, who seemed to have just emerged from the ground. I wonder if he is from Mike?"

"Okay."

The professor quickly made a judgment and decisively ordered:

"Xiao Chu, take action immediately and decide quickly. Don't give the other side time to react."

"Monkey, be prepared to cooperate with Xiao Chu's actions and provide firepower and intelligence support at any time."

"Yes."

Lin Chuqiao and Monkey responded in unison.

After coordinating the follow-up actions, the professor glanced at Fang Cheng beside him who also kept walking but quietly paid attention to him.

The two people made eye contact, and each seemed to have many questions and wanted to get answers from the other.

At the same time, on the southeast side of Estate, there is a Woods area outside the wall.

The two gringos with hooked noses looked anxious, as if they were waiting for someone.

The tall man's name is Tom, and the short man's name is Jerry. They are both among the treasure hunters participating in the operation tonight.

Suddenly, the Walkie-Talkie in their hands made a sizzling sound. Their eyes lit up and they immediately shouted inside:

"Hey, hey, Mike, what the hell are you doing, come out quickly!"

After a while, there was a sound of rapid breathing from the other end of Walkie-Talkie, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death sprint:

"I also want to escape as soon as possible, but now I am alone. There are madmen shooting randomly all around, and there are soldiers chasing behind me. I must hide carefully to prevent them from discovering my whereabouts."

Hearing this, the two foreigners suddenly became more worried.

Jerry was so anxious that Stomp Foot shouted:

"Mike, you must hold on, we will rush in to support you now."

Tom also echoed from the side, staring at Walkie-Talkie, as if this could pull his accomplice out of Danger.

"No, it won't be helpful to bring in more people. It's very messy inside now. If you come in, it will only expose my position."

Mike gasped and refused:

"You wait patiently outside and follow the plan. As long as Golden Benba Vase is taken away smoothly, we will be prosperous, so don't panic and hold on!"

He tried to comfort his companions, but his voice seemed to be vibrating due to excessive excitement.

Then, he hung up hastily.

Tom and Jerry looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and muttered:

"God bless, I hope both Mike and Precious Vase are safe and sound."

They were pacing in place, their eyes occasionally glancing into the interior of the Estate where the fire was glowing and Gunfire was coming from.

At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew by, stirring the branches and leaves and making a rustling sound.

Mist is winding among the trees like Ghost, adding a bit of mystery to Danger's Aura.

Lin Chuqiao is wearing a black sportswear, which outlines her graceful and strong figure just right.

She crouched like a female leopard stalking in the dark night, hiding behind the trees.

His sharp gaze penetrated the dense branches and leaves, tightly focusing on every move of the two foreigners outside Woods.

The sound of calls in Walkie-Talkie came faintly, and then stopped suddenly.

This made her frown slightly and she thought to herself.

He immediately withdrew his eyes, looked at Lark and Big Hammer beside him, and nodded slightly.

Lark stood in Shadows, his eyes shining with strange light like gems in the darkness.

She then took a deep breath and mobilized the mysterious special power in her body.

In an instant, the air flow around her body surged, as if there were illusory lights and shadows flickering around her, and her body shape began to change rapidly.

Not long after, a blond, blue-eyed, muscular man appeared, it was Mike.

From the tall nose and deep eyes, to the bloodstained and scratched jacket on his body, to the muddy boots under his feet, everything is exactly the same as the real person.

If Mike himself were here, he would probably think it was an image in a mirror.

Lark shook his head slightly to adapt to the new physical condition.

Then, she raised the corners of her mouth with a playful smile and made a "yeah" gesture towards Lin Chuqiao and Big Hammer.

Big Hammer stood aside, also grinning, his eyes shining with excitement.

Holding his iconic big Iron Hammer with both hands, he moved his muscles slightly, and the joints made a "click" sound.

Lin Chuqiao stared at the two people, his eyes bright and sharp, and said softly:

"Get started!"

In addition to Woods, Tom and Jerry were like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth anxiously, not daring to move their eyes away from the direction of Estate for a moment.

Inside Estate there was continuous sound of gunfire and fierce fighting, but here Woods was eerily quiet.

Every second that passes seems to be a tug of war in the hearts of the two of them.

If there was no chance of getting Golden Benba Vase, they might not be so anxious.

But now that they heard that the treasure had fallen into the hands of their accomplices, the two of them began to worry about gain and loss.

Suddenly, the silence was broken.

Woods There was a rustling sound coming from deep inside, as if someone was moving quickly through it.

Tom and Jerry were instantly alert, their heads turned suddenly, their backs straightened, and their hands quickly raised the rifles they carried.

The two men's muscles were tense, their guns pointed at the dark trees, their eyes fixed on them, not letting go of any movement.

"Tom, Jerry, it's me!"

Suddenly, an extremely familiar voice came from Woods.

Immediately afterwards, a figure stumbled out.

I saw that his blond hair was messy, his jacket was torn, and there were a few blood stains on his face, as if he had just experienced a fierce battle.

It was Mike who had spoken to the two of them before.

"Tom, Jerry, run! They are catching up!"

Mike shouted hoarsely, with real panic in his voice.

The two people's eyes widened, their mouths opened slightly, with shock written all over their faces.

They couldn't figure out how Mike should break out from the direction of Estate's main entrance, or climb over the wall, how could it come out of this hidden Woods.

"Mike, you... what's going on?"

Tom spoke with a trembling voice.

Before he finished asking, Mike hurriedly waved his hand, lowered his voice and said hastily:

"No time to explain, plans changed, they discovered my whereabouts!"

As he spoke, he stood in the distance and threw a bulging backpack over:

"Golden Benba Vase is inside, you take it and run away first, I will distract the pursuers!"

Just at this time, there was another shouting and screaming from Woods, including the voices of men and women.

"He is hiding here, everyone come here quickly!"

"Asshole, don't run away, leave your things for me!"

Before he finished speaking, a tall and strong man rushed out Woods aggressively.

He was waving Iron Hammer in his hand, his footsteps made a "thumping" sound on the ground, and a cloud of dust was thrown up, making him look very menacing.

Tom and Jerry didn't dare to think too much. In panic, they subconsciously reached out to take the backpack, turned around and ran away.

Because he was too hasty, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

But they didn't look back, there was only one extremely exciting thought in their hearts:

"We must never let our treasure be snatched away!"

When the two figures disappeared into Mountain Forest shrouded in Mist.

Mike, who stayed where he was, chuckled lightly, and then his whole body flashed with light, and his appearance and figure completely changed.

But it is Lark that has restored its original appearance.

She turned around and looked at the man and woman chasing after her.

Those are Big Hammer and Lin Chuqiao pretending to be pursuers.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, their eyes shining with the joy of winning the first battle.

"Don't relax, this is just the beginning."

Lin Chuqiao stepped forward, straightened the messy hair on his temples, whispered a warning, and then handed over the task:

"Lark, if you change into a gringo again, be prepared."

"Big Hammer, you go and guard our retreat route. I will contact the professor now to report the situation here."

After hearing the words, the two men nodded in agreement and immediately started follow-up actions according to the plan.
