Chapter 976 The Man in Black Robe



His sight returned to the study in the spatial courtyard, just when Xu Jianguo was thinking about how to help Fu Bo and the others out of their predicament.

He suddenly received a message from the other two servants who stayed at the well. After checking the message, Xu Jianguo immediately frowned.

"We are being attacked by poison needles from an unknown target. Should we pursue them?"

"Poison needle?" When Xu Jianguo saw these two words, his mind suddenly became clear.

Since they knew to use poison needles to attack the people staying above the well, it means that there must be a human behind this incident.

Moreover, the two teams must have left some people behind. He now understood the things that he had been unable to understand. The soldiers who were responsible for the support should have been killed by now.

"Chase them immediately, take them alive!" Xu Jianguo gave the order, and also gave instructions to the space satellite in the sky, asking it to turn on the thermal imaging mode, track the heat source information in Lange Village, and promptly transmit the target location to the two space servants responsible for the pursuit.

The moment the command was given, the image on the computer screen suddenly changed and switched to thermal imaging mode.

Xu Jianguo saw two figures fleeing frantically in the village, and behind them, there were two white triangular icons following closely, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly closing.

Seeing this, Xu Jianguo did not continue to pay attention to the two servants, but turned his attention again to Fu Bo and his men, who were now waiting for further instructions.

After thinking it over, Xu Jianguo decided to go to Lange Village in person, because he always felt that there was something wrong in the space full of crystal clusters, and he had a hunch that the old Taoist Xuanjue and others were very likely trapped there.

As for the truth behind the Lange Village incident, Xu Jianguo didn't care. From the beginning to the end, everything he did was to find the old Taoist priest.

After making up his mind, Xu Jianguo got up and left the study, and at the same time sent an order to Fu Bo to stay on standby.

Afterwards, Xu Jianguo went to the second courtyard of the space courtyard, changed into black combat uniform and combat boots in the equipment room, took a pistol equipped with a silencer and a black iron dagger, picked up a black matte mask and walked outside.

Just as he went out, he seemed to have thought of something, turned back to the equipment room, found a black hood and put it on his head, then put on the mask again and walked towards the study.

A moment later, with a flash of white light, Xu Jianguo appeared in front of the second stone door at the end of the underground corridor of Lange Village.

When Xu Jianguo appeared here, his first feeling was cold, the kind of coldness that went deep into his bones.

However, this had no effect on him, a half-baked monk, and he quickly adapted to the surrounding environment.

What Xu Jianguo didn't know was that the moment he appeared in the corridor, the evil ghost tattoo on his chest began to emit a faint glow, just like when he encountered the golden mask in the secret room of the Parrot Museum. The originally pale eyes of the man in the tattoo also began to gradually turn a little scarlet.

With the opening of the All-Seeing Eye, Xu Jianguo, dressed in black, flashed into the stone gate and began to look at the strange space in front of him.

However, Xu Jianguo only took a few glances and immediately discovered the problem.

First, the end of the guide rope set by Fu Bo, which was tied to the door knocker of the second stone gate, had fallen off at this time, and there were also scratches on the metal wire made of special alloy left by being cut by a sharp weapon.

Second, under the omniscient eyes, Xu Jianguo discovered several holes underground in the crystal cluster.

Third, a third stone gate appeared on the stone wall about two or three hundred meters to the left of the second stone gate, and this stone gate was more than ten times larger than the first two stone gates.

Fourthly, Xu Jianguo discovered through his all-seeing eyes that there were more than a dozen people wearing black robes hidden in the cluster of crystals, and their faces and heads were wrapped with cloth of the same color, leaving only their eyes exposed.

What surprised Xu Jianguo the most was that these people seemed to have the ability to see at night. They did not make any sound when moving and perfectly avoided the crystals under their feet.

Xu Jianguo passed on his findings to Fu Bo through the system panel.

After receiving the message, Fu Bo immediately shared it with other servants. Then all the space servants immediately turned off their flashlights and turned on the night vision mode.

At the same time, they gathered in a circle facing outward, took out their pistols equipped with silencers, and hid quietly in the darkness.

Because Xu Jianguo opened the Eye of All-Seeing when he entered the second stone gate, which was equivalent to him being hidden in the darkness the whole time, so those men in black robes did not notice his existence.

At this moment, Xu Jianguo received a message from the two servants who stayed at the wellhead, saying that someone had been captured.

Xu Jianguo asked them to pack up their things and return to the space immediately for interrogation.

After resolving his worries, Xu Jianguo did not rush into the crystal cluster, but looked at the space in front of him again.

And this time, he looked more carefully than before, especially those holes hidden in the crystal clusters that tilted downward, which made him feel very strange.

The most important thing is that these holes have very obvious traces of artificial polishing, which attracted his attention.

Xu Jianguo had a guess that the loss of contact with the two previous 749 Bureau investigation teams was probably related to these holes.

In order to verify what he was thinking, Xu Jianguo walked towards the entrance of a hole a few dozen meters away from him without making any sound.

When he walked around a huge crystal stone and came to the entrance of the cave, he found that there was a hidden stone path here, which intersected with the path he came from.

When Xu Jianguo reached out to touch it, he immediately discovered the trick. The stone slab on the path was actually a flap that could be opened downwards. As long as a little pressure was applied, the flap would open and the person would fall into the hole in an instant.

As this mechanism was discovered, Xu Jianguo felt more and more that his previous guess was correct, so he used his all-seeing eyes to look underground along the hole.

Just one glance and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
