Chapter 398 The Secret of the Trick City
Bai Zhong naturally heard the conversation between the vixen and the man in green.
They seemed to have gotten something in that house and left only after achieving their goal. Those things belonged to their Mo family and must be recovered.
Bai Zhong chased after the vixen, but as soon as he got closer, he smelled a special fragrance that hit his nostrils.
This kind of incense contained special effects. Even his longevity secret could not be resolved immediately. He felt his blood boiling and his heart was restless, so he had to stop.
"Are you Lord Wu'an of Great Qin? It's so interesting that you can still bear my strange fragrance! I will come to you again in the future."
The vixen winked at him, smiled charmingly, and recognized Bai Zhong's identity. However, he was not interested in fighting. He probably knew how strong Bai Zhong was and that he was no match, so he pulled away and continued to run away.
"Want to leave? There's no door!"
When Ying Shu saw her husband being teased, she felt unhappy and killed him with a knife.
"Stop it too!"
The long sword fell out of the vixen's hand and shot out quickly.
Whoosh!
The sword edge came in front of Ying Shu, and she had to resist.
There was also a piece of pink silk tied to the hilt of the vixen's sword. He stopped Ying Shu with a sword, flipped his wrist, and the sword returned to his hand along with the silk silk.
Ying Shu still wants to chase.
The vixen threw the silk and covered Ying Shu, blocking her sight.
Ying Shu swung her sword and knocked down the silk, only to see that the vixen had walked away.
Yuan Hong and Li Ji also wanted to pursue, but as soon as they got close, the special fragrance made their blood boil. They had to hold their breath and retreat, and it took a long time to adjust their inner breath before they could recover.
Vixens have many ways to deal with men, but there are no ways to deal with women.
As the only woman in the team, there was not much difference in strength between Ying Shu and Vixen. The latter used other methods one after another, but in the end she could not catch up and let her run away.
The corpses that got up were also in the middle and rushed toward them.
The zombie-like corpses posed little threat, and they were all quickly eliminated.
"Keep chasing!"
Bai Zhong's immortality energy circulated for several days, and coupled with the effect of innate skills, the adverse reactions in the body were finally eliminated.
But after chasing them to the edge of the machine city, those people seemed to have left through some hidden passage, and they all disappeared, not even a trace could be found.
Thinking that they appeared in the city for no reason, Bai Zhong and others were convinced that there should be a secret passage connecting to the outside. They searched nearby for a while, but found nothing.
"Shangshan Mo family, what could be left here?"
Bai Zhong looked at Yuan Hong and asked.
Yuan Hong shook his head slightly, it was difficult to judge these things.
The entire organ city was almost completely destroyed.
No one knew where Yang Yuan and others went. Among the corpses on the ground, there was no face they were familiar with. They finally returned to the house.
The mechanism here has not been fully opened, but the vixen has already been able to get inside. After searching for a moment, they found that a window-sized entrance was forced open on the wall.
The enemy did not dare to destroy the house directly, indicating that there might be something important inside.
"Big brother, we want to crack the mechanism here."
Li Ji was eager to try.
Bai Zhong nodded and said: "Crack it."
The mechanisms inside and outside the house seem to be very complicated.
Li Ji and Yuan Hong studied for more than half an hour, and the progress was very slow.
Bai Zhong and Ying Shu were walking around in the city. There was only a wall left in the huge city. Only a few humanoid monsters were destroying the city. If it hadn't been for that sharp sword, they might not have been able to do anything to those monsters.
"Have Shu'er seen anything similar to this strange thing before?"
Bai Zhong came through time travel and didn't know much about the previous time and space.
But the warriors appeared, as well as these monsters and the energy crystal blocks of the machine beasts, which are all unlike what ordinary human civilization can possess.
The things that appear now seem to indicate that this time and space is different from the Great Qin that Bai Zhong later knew.
"No!"
Ying Shu shook her head and said, "Many strange things gradually appeared around us after I got to know my beloved."
"After you met me?"
Bai Zhong was thinking, could it still be related to time travel?
They quickly put this tangle behind their minds and didn't think too much about it for the time being.
Not many valuable things could be found in the current government city. They walked around the city before returning to Yuan Hong and his friends.
"how's it going?"
Bai Zhong asked.
Yuan Hong raised his head and said: "The mechanism skills of the Shangshan Mohists are tightly interlocked and extremely sophisticated. If I hadn't studied the scrolls brought back by many masters, I wouldn't have even solved half of them."
In other words, they have only solved half of the mechanism.
Bai Zhong was not in a hurry and sat down to wait.
Before I knew it, it was already night.
They broke in during the day and went through a series of fights until nightfall.
Bai Zhong dragged back the defeated machine beasts and asked Yuan Hong to study them for a while.
"The structure is exactly the same as the one in Luoyue."
Yuan Hong analyzed and said: "The energy crystal blocks of these machine beasts were taken away. Maybe I guessed it right. Those people broke in and destroyed the machine city in order to get the energy crystal blocks and their sources."
This analysis and guess is not impossible.
"What a pity, let them take the first step!"
Ying Shu said helplessly.
Bai Zhong said hesitantly: "Li Ji, leave immediately and go outside to find the people from Heibingtai. Let me trace the whereabouts and origins of those people first. Things from the Mo family must not fall into the hands of others."
"only!"
Li Ji left overnight.
Next, only Yuan Hong was left to continue toying with the mechanism, and the progress was much slower.
Time passed quickly and it was midnight.
As the sound of a machine turning appeared, Yuan Hong said excitedly: "Big man, it's successful!"
Bai Zhong and Ying Shu were leaning on each other and were dozing off. When they heard the words, they jumped up and saw a gap in the room opening, and it was pitch black inside, like a bottomless black hole.
"Go in and have a look."
Bai Zhong walked in the front.
Ying Shu came next, and Yuan Hong came last.
As for Li Ji, he hasn't come back yet, so we won't wait for him for the time being.
The interior of the house is very large. The first thing you see when you enter are various Mohist classics and some mechanical techniques, all of which are carried on bamboo slips. Bai Zhong can quickly tell that this place should be the library of the Mohist family in Shangshan.
"It's all machine magic!"
Yuan Hong excitedly opened the bamboo slips and read them again. He found that most of them overlapped with the scrolls Bai Zhong brought back, but there were also some parts that they had never seen before.
From now on, everything about the Shangshan Mohist branch will become their Mohist orthodoxy.
They searched the house and found nothing of value except the mechanism.
"My dear, this place is empty!"
Ying Shu gently tapped a floor tile with her scabbard.
Judging from the sound coming back, it was indeed empty, and there were traces of being opened on the ground.
It must have been the vixen just now who also discovered this place and took away the contents.
"Yuan Hong, open it and go in and take a look."
