Chapter 1737 Jiuyu
"no!"

"Not here either!"

“This road is blocked!”

When the treasure hunt turned to escape, many mechanism rooms were seen by everyone at a glance.

In addition to Gongsun Hong who still had some thoughts about 'Jiu Yu', Li Shaojun, who had seen the flames and smoke, focused on finding the escape route before making a decision on the search, while Zhang Xuezhou wanted to leave the Mechanical City and go to a secret place to guard against possible explosions.

The three people each had their own ideas and their focus when searching was also different.

But the crowd's speed was not slow.

As a mechanical city, the Mohists built numerous mechanical rooms in the mountains. These mechanical rooms rarely had dead ends, but were connected by various passages, extending in all directions like a maze.

If you remember something wrong, it will undoubtedly cause the trouble of having to go back to the old path.

The fire had not yet reached where everyone was, but thick smoke had already filled the passage, bringing a pungent smell, and the air had become drier and more difficult to breathe.

"Did you find anything strange?"

Although everyone is looking for their own things quickly, the necessary communication still exists.

"We checked so many mechanical rooms, but we didn't see a single corpse of the Mo family, nor did we see any mechanical traps they had set up," Li Shaojun panted, "This is very unusual!"

"They should have gathered on top of the mechanical city, and then all died in the destruction of unknown circumstances," Gongsun Hong said, "Not even their bodies were left behind, and the mechanical system was naturally destroyed, with only a few remaining!"

"Not everyone in the Mohist school is good at fighting. They have to keep a few cooks among them, right?" Li Shaojun said.

"It's such a long journey across the sea, who knows if the cooks and servants will be willing to come!"

Gongsun Hong shook his head quickly.

He felt that the lack of human remains was not the point; the point was to find 'Jiu Yu'.

If they can use 'Jiu Yu', they can quickly cross long distances, truly be able to attack or defend, and be safe and free in dangerous places.

"You two, the passage here does not go up, but goes down continuously," Zhang Xuezhou said quickly, "If you can't hold your breath for a long time, I suggest you go faster!"

Li Shaojun can hold his breath, but his level is limited. Gongsun Hong can use water to breathe and breathe freely underwater for a long time, but he cannot use poison gas to switch his breathing.

Zhang Xuezhou urged them repeatedly, and the two had to stop discussing.

"Going down can't be the exit," Li Shaojun frowned and said, "The only way to the exit of the ruins is to go up!"

"We are now at least 15 meters down from where we were originally," Zhang Xuezhou warned. "That kind of fire can melt gold and iron. If the fire causes a collapse, we won't be able to escape when the water comes pouring down, let alone find a way out!"

"As long as we find Jiuyu..."

Gongsun Hong said something unwillingly, and then he heard a loud explosion from behind, and an earth-shaking shake suddenly came.

Along with it, a scorching stench swept through the passage where everyone was like a strong wind, and the passage was suddenly filled with smoke.

Zhang Xuezhou's good words don't work, but his bad words come true very quickly.

Li Shaojun staggered a few steps, and when he breathed in the air, he choked and coughed repeatedly. Gongsun Hong's face turned red, and he held on to the door of the mechanism room tightly.

"Dongfang Shuo was blown away!"

"He flew away on the wind!"

"Does he have any particularly bad premonitions? I always feel that he wants to escape from here very much!"

"Everyone wants to escape... It's bad!"

When Gongsun Hong managed to stand firmly, Zhang Xuezhou had disappeared from the passage near them.

He said a few words, and Li Shaojun replied with a few words.

While Gongsun Hong was still thinking about it, Li Shaojun just felt bad and felt that the fire disaster would be worse than he had imagined.

Li Shaojun knew Zhang Xuezhou too well. Unlike him who had many lives to squander, Zhang Xuezhou only had one life and he cherished it very much. The other party was obviously aware of the risk of force majeure and even felt that time was running out.

"What exactly is your Jiu Yu? If it's not more important than life, I suggest you waste less time on it," Li Shaojun coughed.

"Jiuyu can be transferred to another area. If we want to escape, the best way is to find 'Jiuyu'" Gongsun Hong said.

"Why didn't Dongfang Shuo look for it?"

"He's looking for it too!"

"What does it look like?"

"It could be a bronze mirror as tall as a person!"

If time was not urgent enough, Gongsun Hong would not want to share this news with Li Shaojun.

Zhang Xuezhou was not interested in the treasure, but this did not stop Li Shaojun from having some thoughts.

And the more urgent the moment, the easier it is for things like this to go wrong.

At this time, the situation was stronger than the person, and Gongsun Hong had to quickly mention the characteristics of "Jiu Yu".

"Then hurry up and chase Dongfang Shuo. He must have flown out to look for this 'Jiu Yu'," Li Shaojun cursed, "What if he takes it and runs away? Then we'll just be left with nothing but dust!"

"He is not that kind of person!" Gongsun Hong said.

"That's the kind of guy he is!"

Although they were in the same relationship, Gongsun Hong and Li Shaojun came to completely different assessments of Zhang Xuezhou's character.

The two looked at each other, wanted to argue but stopped talking.

When the shaking of the passage slowed down a bit, both of them followed the direction Zhang Xuezhou flew.

No matter what, there is no other choice except to find an upward passage to leave the danger zone or to find 'Jiu Yu' for safety.

"It's collapsed here!"

"There's a large mechanical room down there!"

"These machine rooms are heavily guarded!"

The passages in the Mohist Mechanical City are well organized. Without guidance, it would be difficult to find the exact direction in such a place.

But with the vibration caused by the explosion, some areas collapsed and the original normal passages were destroyed.

Below the collapsed area, Gongsun Hong and others finally saw the densely packed long crossbows that had completed their rapid firing, as well as the scenes after the explosions of mechanisms such as poisonous water, poisonous smoke, and sharp weapons, and the white bones that could not dodge and lay horizontally in the middle.

The mechanical techniques of the Mohist school are ingenious and extremely powerful; the mechanical city is almost like a tiger with sharp teeth.

As long as there are one or two Mohist disciples, it will be difficult for outsiders to pass through.

Gongsun Hong and others finally figured out the area they were in.

If I am not mistaken, they have been in the activity area of ​​Mohist disciples. Mohist disciples can build mechanisms in these areas, learn from the masters, or do other things.

Below the Mechanical City is an insurmountable forbidden area, also firmly guarded by many mechanisms.

"In the holy places and secret places, the higher the residence, the more extraordinary the status. The Mohists do the opposite," Li Shaojun gritted his teeth and said, "the lower the residence, the more noble they are. This broken city has never allowed anyone to enter or leave. No one knows that they have this layout!"

"I should have thought of that sooner, damn it!"

Gongsun Hong also felt very regretful, thinking that he had taken the wrong path when he first climbed the mountain to explore.

He jumped downwards and called out to Zhang Xuezhou several times.

"'Jiuyu' seems to be here!"

When Gongsun Hong heard Zhang Xuezhou's response from afar, he was overjoyed, but at the same time he was a little afraid, fearing that Zhang Xuezhou would take the things and run away as Li Shaojun said.
