Chapter 534 The Center of the Dragon Vessel Underground Palace

"Good boy, I really have you. As soon as Pan Huayu saw the copper coin, he knew that you left the letter of war. No wonder the people from the Dragon Digging Society came here because you revealed the news.

I'm afraid Chen Benzhong and the others are thinking about it and don't know what's going on. They didn't expect that you were the one who betrayed the location of the Qing Dynasty Dragon Vein Treasure. "Seeing Chen Ziyang's thoughtful consideration, Shuai Sanshi said in admiration.

"Okay, I didn't want to tell you two at first, because I wasn't completely sure, but now it seems that the person who came here should indeed be a member of the Dragon Digging Society. It will be difficult to handle next, except In addition to facing these agencies, you must also be careful of their attacks.

Be careful, our goal is to kill Yoshioka Yuu, we must distinguish between priorities and do not make unnecessary sacrifices. "Chen Ziyang instructed the two of them again.

"You kid is really heartless. Even your fifth grandfather Chen Benzhong betrayed you. Good job. I like your character." Yang Lei jokingly said.

"What should we do now? Chen Sanjin doesn't know where he has gone, which direction should we go? These two roads don't seem to lead to the direction of gunshots." After looking around, Shuai Sanshi asked.

The location of the three people is still a "T"-shaped intersection. One road continues to move forward, while the other road turns to the right. None of the intersections leads to the direction of the gunshots on the left.

Putting his ears against the wall on the left, Chen Ziyang listened patiently for a while, and now there was no gunfire, and it seemed that the two parties at war had left their left sides, and they didn't know where they were going.But judging from the gunshots from the previous movement, these people should have walked far to the left.

The design of this maze is very complicated. Although the forked road on the right is in the opposite direction from the direction of the gunshots, maybe this road can lead to the left after several twists and turns. The road ahead may instead be farther and farther to the left.

But these are just Chen Ziyang's rough guesses based on the direction of the maze before.Maybe the facts are exactly the opposite of what he guessed, so he also made a difficult case.

Just when the three of them were hesitating, they suddenly heard a bang.The sound came from the walls on both sides of the crowd. When they heard the sound, all three of them were very surprised.

Judging from the sound, this is the sound that will only appear after a mechanism is triggered, but the three people have been standing in place, and no mechanism has been triggered. Why did the wall activate by itself.

Although the three of them didn't know what was happening, their reactions were not slow. When they heard the sound, the three of them instinctively retreated and distanced themselves from the wall that made the sound.

At the same time, the walls on both sides of the passage where the three people were standing before moved unexpectedly, and a piece of the wall on the right suddenly protruded, blocking the original passage to the right.

The wall of the left passage slowly moved to the left, and after a while, the sound of the wall moving stopped.The three walked over cautiously, and found that the original passage to the right had completely disappeared, and now there were still two passages in front of everyone, the passage forward remained unchanged, but there was an extra passage to the left.

Several people have encountered this kind of channel change many times. It should be that someone nearby triggered the mechanism for changing the channel, and this result appeared.

"This is great, it saves trouble, we don't have to take a long way, and hurry over, so as not to save the passage from changing again in a while." Chen Ziyang hurriedly urged, and the three walked along the passage on the left.

When the wall was moving just now, Chen Ziyang saw that the moving range of the wall is much smaller now, and the thickness of the wall has also been reduced a lot. It seems that his guess is correct. It is very far away from the center of the entire maze. near.

After passing through the passage that suddenly appeared, the three of them came to a relatively wide passage. After illuminating the two sides with the flashlight, the three of them unexpectedly found three corpses.

The closest corpse to the three people was a few meters away. Under the illumination of the flashlight beam, the three people saw that there were three bullet holes in the chest of this person, and the blood was still flowing slowly from the bullet holes. It seems that this person has not been dead for a long time.

After walking over, Chen Ziyang realized that he didn't know this person at all.Although it was the first contact with Chen Ziyang, the team members brought by Liu Cong, they were already very familiar with each other after spending so many days together. The person in front of them was definitely not one of Liu Cong's team members.

Moreover, this person's clothing and the automatic rifle in his hand are also different from Liu Cong's standard equipment. It seems that this person should be a member of the Dragon Digging Society.

After searching the body for a while, the three of them didn't find any useful clues, but they found the tattoo that belonged to the Dragon Digging Society on the back of the corpse's neck.After putting away the food and water carried by the corpse, the three of them turned their attention to the other two corpses.

There was a corpse far away, and it seemed that he died after being hit by a trap. The area was more dangerous, and the three of them dared not go there, but judging by their clothes, that person should also be a member of the Dragon Digging Society.

The last body was a team member under Liu Cong, who was also shot to death.Yang Lei stepped forward, and just reached out to search for the food left by the team member, but suddenly a bloody hand grabbed his wrist.

It turned out that this team member was not completely dead, and woke up under Yang Lei's touch.Exhausting his last breath of strength, the team member said with difficulty: "Go... save... Mr. Chen..."

"How many people are here from the Dragon Digging Association? Did Yoshioka come with him?" Chen Ziyang asked hastily.

"Dug...dug...puff..." Before he finished speaking, the team member suddenly sprayed a mouthful of blood on Yang Lei's face, then tilted his head and lay there motionless.

"Bah, bah, bah!" Some of the mouthful of blood sprayed into Yang Lei's mouth, and while he spat, he backed away in disgust.

"Zi Yang, do you think this team member looks miserable?" Shuai Sanshi said while searching through the team's backpack.

"Miserable? He has died to such a virtue, can it not be miserable?" Yang Lei was very angry after being sprayed with blood on his face by this team member, and said angrily.

"What I mean by misery is not his tragic death, but his current state." Saishi Shuai explained.

Chen Ziyang looked down and found that the team member's clothes were covered with dirt, and there were several holes in the camouflage uniform.The breach is very irregular, it should not have been made by a bullet, it was probably broken while avoiding the mechanism.

In addition, this team member's face is also very dirty. It is estimated that after the two groups separated, Chen Benzhong and Liu Cong's team experienced a lot. Their life should not be easy, otherwise this team member would not will become this virtue.

After picking up the oxygen bottle hanging from the team member's waist and shaking it, Chen Ziyang found that the oxygen bottle was light, and it should be empty.It seems that Chen Benzhong and Liu Cong didn't realize that the air here was breathable until the oxygen in the oxygen cylinder was exhausted.

"Bang!" There was another gunshot, but this time it was completely different from the previous gunshots, there was only a crisp sound.The three people could hear it clearly. It should be the sound of the pistol. It is estimated that the two groups of people had almost fired their rifle bullets in the previous fight.

Now Chen Ziyang was eager to know whether Yoshioka Yuu had come here. After hearing the gunshot again, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the gunshot.

However, it may be because this place is already close to the center of the maze. In this relatively wide passage, there are many forks, and the forks appear very densely.

The three of them hesitated for a long time just because of the two forked roads. Now that there are so many forked roads in front of them, no one knows where to go.

"Huh?" Just as Chen Ziyang was hesitating, he suddenly had a very strange feeling.It seemed that something in this passage was attracting him, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't find anything unusual.

After thinking for a while, Chen Ziyang opened his yin and yang eyes, and looked in the direction of the gunfire again.Sure enough, under Yin Yang's eyes, he saw something different.

The faint golden dragon aura is swimming below this passage. The dragon aura itself is very faint, and due to the cover of the ground, it is not very clear to see, but Chen Ziyang is very sure that the dragon aura flowing underground These looming things are undoubtedly the dragon spirit.

It seems that the dragon-shaped stone sculpture that had absorbed the dragon's energy before is already close to the ground here, and it is no longer buried deep in the ground, so he can see it.With the guidance of these dragon spirits, Chen Ziyang found his way in no time.

The channel for transporting the dragon energy was just below a channel. With the guidance of the dragon energy, Chen Ziyang hurriedly led the other two people along the channel.After a while, they reached the end of the passage.

This is a 90-degree corner, and at one end of the corner, there is a not very thick stone wall blocking it.At this time, several gunshots were heard from behind the stone wall. After poking his head out cautiously, Chen Ziyang found that they had come to a very empty place.

A square open space appeared in this huge maze.On all four sides of this clearing stood long stone walls.Although it was relatively dark inside and it was not very clear to see, but relying on the two piles of flashlight beams gathered together, Chen Ziyang judged that there should be two groups of people gathered here.

There is also an exit on the stone wall on the left side of the open space. A group of people are hiding behind the stone wall near the exit, constantly shining the flashlights in their hands towards the center of the open space, and firing a few shots from time to time. .

Judging from the style of this stone wall, Chen Ziyang guessed that it should be very similar to where he was, and there should be a thin wall blocking the passage, and this thin wall just became a bunker.

In the center of the entire open space, six or seven flashlight beams kept shaking there, and these flashlight lights outlined the outline of a building in the center of the open space.

Standing in the center of the open space seems to be a courtyard-like building. The walls of this courtyard are only two meters high, and they are not directly connected to the top of the underground palace.

The bricks and tiles of this small courtyard are all made of stones. Although the courtyard is not big, it is very beautifully built. The walls are also made of stone bricks of different shapes to spell out patterns.Each tile on the courtyard wall also has a pattern of animal head, which looks like a Feng Shui animal.

Especially at the corner of this courtyard, there is another stone sculpture protruding out, and this protruding stone sculpture is also a Feng Shui beast.

Two dragon-shaped stone carvings protrude from the ground near the small courtyard, and are directly connected to the courtyard wall. It seems that they should protrude into the courtyard.Although he couldn't see the situation on the other two sides, Chen Ziyang estimated that there should be four stone carvings like this.

On the courtyard wall facing the direction of Chen Ziyang, there is a stone gate, but this stone gate is closed.On the left and right sides of the middle of the stone gate, there are placed the head of a Feng Shui beast with the door knocker in its mouth.

There is a pool not far in front of this stone gate. The surface of the pool is dark and seems to be shaking constantly. It seems that there should be water in it.In the center of this pool, there is a stone sculpture like a washbasin. Some water gushes out of the stone basin and falls into the pool below.

After the light beam of the flashlight shook, Chen Ziyang could see clearly that a white spherical object was constantly shaking in the stone plate, sinking and floating, left and right.

Chen Ziyang had seen this thing before, and it was the egg-sized pearl that officially opened the door to the Qing Dynasty's dragon vein treasure.

It seems that after the pearl was thrown into the hole on the gate, it should have rolled here along the special channel, and was pushed out by the water sprayed from the stone basin.

This was not beyond Chen Ziyang's expectation. He had judged that the person who died outside the gate of the underground palace should have entered the underground palace.

The pearl that would disappear after opening the gate was carried by this person, that is to say, that person must have come here and left after getting the pearl.

With the help of the shaking flashlight beam, Chen Ziyang saw that Liu Cong was lying on the back of the pool, holding an automatic rifle with both hands, shooting towards the crowd on the other side.

However, Liu Cong used burst shooting, and it took a long time before he fired a shot. It seemed that he was running out of bullets, otherwise he wouldn't be so economical.

Behind Liu Cong, behind the dragon-shaped stone sculpture, there were still a few figures swaying, and the sporadic flames that only appeared when the pistols were fired were revealed there.

The ones hiding there should be Chen Benzhong and others, and their shooting frequency is also very slow. They only shoot a few shots from time to time when they see someone appearing in the passage on the other side.

After judging that the person at the entrance of the other passage was a member of the Dragon Digging Association, Chen Ziyang looked over carefully, hoping to see the figure of Yushioka.
