And, it's strange, how come these lowly soldiers, who can't even perform the most basic spells and can only rely on equipment to suppress fire, can perform a sealing technique that is clearly far beyond their capabilities?
Wait, is it really okay?
After a moment's hesitation, the feedback from both perception and intuition was that there was nothing unusual, so it seemed there shouldn't be any major problems.
Time is of the essence. Although we can break the current blockade safely with some time, what we lack most right now is time.
Fortunately, I still have a way to cheat, which can greatly save me from unnecessary trouble.
I gestured for Shenxue to step back a little, and then made the restless Feifei shrink behind me. Taking a deep breath, I took out the all-purpose silver key and inserted it into the keyhole.
With a soft click, the restriction on the door was easily broken, and then it slowly retreated, revealing a sliver of warm firelight.

"No, sis, this is the question I should be asking you."
I shook my head and subconsciously explained, "I heard from a friend that someone here had been kidnapped and threatened, so I just happened to be passing by and came to check it out. Why are you here instead?"
