Chapter 464 I'll Give You Thunder Clouds to Protect You
Headquarters of Bureau 749.
"The latest gas masks, satellite phones, explosion-proof shields, grenades, small rockets..."
Long Weihua's fingers tapped lightly on the metal shell of an armored vehicle, making a crisp sound, and then he introduced his vehicle's equipment in a seemingly reserved but actually proud manner.
Huo Qinghuang leaned against the wall not far away, her arms folded across her chest, her green dress fluttering in the wind. She listened to Long Weihua's introduction expressionlessly, a hint of helplessness flashing in her eyes.
"Director Long, are you sure these toys can be useful to us?"
she asked bluntly.
Long Weihua's smile froze on his face and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
He turned to Ao Jiu, who was leaning lazily against the door frame. The latter was playing with a strand of his golden hair with his fingers, his robe emitting a strange luster under the refraction of the sunlight.
"You two, do you really not need to bring some equipment?"
Long Weihua pointed at the latest model of spiritual power detector without giving up, "This can detect spiritual power fluctuations within a five-kilometer radius, which is very helpful in finding treasures."
Ao Jiu didn't even bother to raise his eyelids: "Director Long, do you think the Fox Tribe's treasure house has no protective measures? I'm afraid these modern toys can't even pass the first restriction."
Huo Qinghuang came over and picked up an ancient compass and looked at it carefully: "Is this thing useful to us?"
Long Weihua's eyes lit up, and he quickly explained: "This is a treasure used by the previous generation Zhang Tianshi. It can sense the direction of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
It seems that their 749th Bureau has a bad relationship with various factions, but in fact, the relationship with Longhushan is quite good.
After all, Longhushan is the leader of the righteous path and is aware that it has a certain responsibility to maintain world stability. Therefore, there is a tacit understanding between them and Bureau 749, and the two sides cooperate quite well.
Ao Jiu glanced at the compass and said with disdain: "Rubbish."
He threw out a few golden dragon scales from his sleeves: "Wear this and you will be immune to all poisons."
Just then, there was a noise coming from not far away.
Tushan Yuhua had two dark circles under her eyes and walked listlessly in front, followed by Kuiniu with a resentful look on his face.
"It's all your fault! You had to drag me to stay up late playing games!"
Kui Niu swung his tail angrily and stomped his foot on the ground, causing the ground to tremble. "Now I'm sleepy on the treasure hunt. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"
Tushan Yuhua rubbed her swollen temples and looked at them with disdain: "It's obvious that you are addicted to playing. You won't leave no matter how I call you, okay?"
He glanced at the equipment beside Long Weihua and suddenly became excited. "Wow, so many goodies? Give me a night vision goggles. Last time I caught an adulterer during a live broadcast, the light was too dim and affected my performance!"
Long Weihua held his forehead and sighed. Just as he was about to say something, Tushan Yuhua had already taken out a few silver fox hairs from his sleeves: "Invisibility Talisman, one for each person. Old Cow, don't be idle either."
Kuiniu looked around and suddenly raised his butt: "I'll give you a thunder cloud to protect you!"
A mist with electric light gushed out from behind it.
"vomit!"
Everyone stepped back, and Ao Jiu even made a wind-avoiding gesture with a look of disgust on his face.
Huo Qinghuang shook her head helplessly: "Stop making a fuss. We still don't know what's going on inside. Everyone should be careful. Don't make the same mistake as last time, where one thing gets solved but another gets created."
She said this incoherently, but everyone understood what she meant.
After Xiangliu was killed last time, everyone felt that it was too coincidental.
Even if the world is about to change drastically and the seal is loosened, strong men like Huang Quan Patriarch and Xiang Liu will not appear one after another.
After some speculation by everyone, they realized that the earth veins under the volcano on Jeju Island were connected to the place where Xiangliu was sealed. When they killed the ancestor Huangquan, the noise was too loud and shook the restriction that sealed Xiangliu, which caused it to be born prematurely.
Fortunately, Sakura Island was destroyed by Xiangliu's self-explosion, not by them, otherwise they would have been contaminated by the karma of killing.
"Friend Huo is right."
Tushan Yuhua suddenly stood up straight, the aura around her body shook, and the look of fatigue disappeared, replaced by sharp eyes and abundant spiritual power fluctuations.
"After so many years, no one knows what dangers there are. We really have to be careful."
"What are you talking about? Let's go!"
Kuiniu couldn't wait to find the treasure, and after urging him, Dujiao had already walked towards the exit.
Long Weihua checked his watch and said, "The helicopter is ready. We will leave in ten minutes."
Thirty minutes later, the group arrived deep into the Luoxiao Mountains in a military helicopter.
Looking down from the air, the mountains are rolling and shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland.
"According to my memory, the treasure house is in that area, but with the passage of time, the location seems to have changed. Let me take a closer look first."
As she spoke, Tushan Yuhua closed her eyes, formed seals with her hands, and a fox-shaped mark appeared on her forehead.
After a moment, he pointed to a mountain in the northwest direction and said, "There is a faint fluctuation of fox spiritual power over there."
The helicopter landed on flat ground at the foot of the mountain.
After everyone got off, Long Weihua wanted to take his equipment with him, but Huo Qinghuang stopped him: "Going further is the forbidden area of the fox tribe. Modern machinery will malfunction, and it will be a burden to carry it."
Sure enough, when they stepped into a seemingly ordinary pine forest, all electronic equipment began to malfunction and satellite positioning completely failed.
"Follow me closely."
Tushan Yuhua walked in front, touching the trees along the way with her fingers, as if sensing something.
Huo Qinghuang followed closely behind, his fists clenched all the time.
Ao Jiu walked at the end, his golden eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.
Even the Kuiniu stopped making any noise, and its single hoof stepped lightly on the ground, making almost no sound.
After passing through the pine forest, the view suddenly opens up.
An ancient stone platform hidden among the mountains appeared in front of everyone.
The stone platform was engraved with complicated runes, and in the center... was actually a dry well.
“It’s right here.”
Tushan Yuhua's voice trembled a little, "The place where the fox tribe inherited its heritage."
"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
Ao Jiu walked forward and looked at the well, his golden eyes full of suspicion.
He ran his slender fingers lightly across the edge of the well, feeling the ancient patterns on it.
The Qingqiu Fox Clan is not an underwater creature anyway, so how could they build their treasure house underwater?
However, this clan has always been cunning, so it seems reasonable that they would do such a thing.
Tushan Yuhua raised the corner of her mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "It is because everyone thinks so that our ancestors chose this place."
Huo Qinghuang reached out to the mouth of the well, and a faint light flashed.
She withdrew her hand and frowned slightly: "There is indeed a restriction fluctuation, but this restriction is quite strange, it seems to have integrated the power of space."
Long Weihua frowned, took out a waterproof flashlight from his backpack, and shone it into the well. The beam of light drew a bright mark on the wall of the well, and finally disappeared into the bottomless darkness.
"This depth..."
He swallowed, "At least a hundred meters."
Kui Niu stamped the ground with his single hoof impatiently: "What are you afraid of? I, the old ox, slept for thousands of years at the bottom of the East China Sea!"
As he said this, he was about to jump into the well.
