Chapter 803 The Real Purpose
Logically speaking, such a large building should be visible from a long distance regardless of whether one's eyesight is good or not. In other words, as long as one is not blind, one should be able to notice it.
But looking at the more people around me, their faces showed expressions of surprise and confusion, and then nothing else, so they should be similar to them.
After repeated experiments, we roughly determined the visual prerequisite, which is less than 100 meters in a straight line.
After a simple explanation, once you reach the specified area, the castle suddenly appears in front of you.
Bai Jincheng and Sumarokov looked at each other and stepped back tacitly. I'm afraid the abnormality is related to this thing. While everyone is still distracted, I choose the opposite direction of coming and turn around and leave without alarming anyone.
But an hour later, I found myself back at the starting point without realizing it.
As more and more people arrived, people around them stopped being so aloof from each other as they were before entering the secret place. Instead, they gradually started chattering around. Not to mention whether they knew each other or not, they would naturally strike up a conversation just by standing next to each other.
Those who are more thoughtful will deliberately inquire whether the other party has found anything good. In short, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, if someone uses the tricks of digging holes in the ancient harem, he will survive at least three episodes.
Bai Jincheng was certain that the inability to get out was not caused by the formation, but as if there was something pulling him.
He was not surprised by this. Who among the older generation didn't know that the secret land of ancient martial arts in China was opened more than 20 years ago, but none of the non-Jun family members gained anything?
Therefore, in the end, the goal should be to allow everyone present to enter the castle.
He told Sumarokov to wait where he was and he went forward to find out what was going on. He stood about one meter away from the gate, and the isolation magic circle ornament on his body trembled slightly.
In order to verify that it was not an illusion, I stepped back two or three meters and walked forward again. There was a warning again at the same location. I thought the formation should be inside the castle.
He returned to the side of the human koi fish companion he had been treating as a companion, and reminded him seriously: "The problem has been initially determined to be there."
While speaking, he pointed to a place not far away.
"No matter what happens, remember to grab me as soon as possible. Or try not to get separated. After all, we don't know anything, so it's definitely right to be cautious."
The point was made briefly and there was no need for further explanation. Sumarokov immediately understood the unfinished meaning.
Moreover, he knew very well that this man, who had come into contact with his wife through two ancient martial arts competitions, was not only a trustworthy person, but also had absolutely unfathomable abilities and must have means to save his life. It was really chivalrous of him to offer to help him at the critical moment.
Zheng nodded his head, undoubtedly becoming more cautious about the building that he couldn't avoid.
While they were talking, many familiar faces appeared nearby. In other words, almost everyone who wanted to enter the secret place had arrived.
In addition to the three people among the dozen or so people who followed Steven at first, there were also two men and three women who were probably younger generations of local families and were also excluded by the rules of the entrance to the secret place.
I noticed in particular that all those who were specially invited were present.
This is very telling. At least the Roosevelt family knew some of the details more or less. To exaggerate a little and think deeply, everyone was gathered here in the dark. Was they involved? ? ?
While Bai Jincheng was paying attention to the situation around him, he decisively devoted his attention to paying special attention to Steven.
There was a suggestion to just go in and take a look, and later more than half of the people agreed. The head of the DuPont family, who was on the edge and trying hard to hide his tracks, had no choice but to come out to take charge of the situation. A closer look revealed that the man had no intention of coming out at first, and only nodded in agreement reluctantly after listening to what the guys behind him said.
Because I couldn't see clearly, I didn't notice the emotions that flashed across their eyes next.
Even the man who was standing a little closer to the front and whose ancient martial arts strength was among the top three on the scene nodded secretly to Steven.
Probably wanting to show their responsibility as the leader or organizer, a dozen people who were currently acting as bodyguards walked in first. Bai Jincheng saw Sumarokov occasionally observing the DuPont family member with his peripheral vision, and asked curiously, "Did you find anything wrong?"
"Bai, don't you think it's strange that the person who should have the most say is being held hostage?"
"Pay more attention to the surrounding situation and don't act rashly."
It was almost the last minute when they entered the castle. The person who had been the focus of attention just now was knocked unconscious and taken away by the two big men behind him without any warning.
Before I could say anything, I heard a burst of exclamations.
The castle hall could definitely be described as magnificent and grand. Bai Jincheng's attention was immediately drawn to the array suppressing ornament on his body that was vibrating wildly.
Realizing that the real purpose of this trip seemed to be about to be exposed, I didn't feel panicked. Instead, I felt that the dust had settled as expected.
I quickly found a relatively remote corner, and did not forget to bring Sumarokov with me when moving.
He sensed that the defensive talisman he had pasted on his body had begun to take effect, and only then did he realize that the defensive accessory had also been triggered.
He looked up suddenly as if he sensed something, and sure enough, the dozen or so people who came in first under the pretext of checking the situation were separated from everyone else and formed a separate group.
I heard Steven's wild laughter, and he probably felt that the outcome was a done deal, and he no longer concealed his purpose and ambition.
Without thinking twice, Bai Jincheng pulled back Sumarokov who had taken a few steps forward to check the situation, and left the three words "Don't walk around" behind him before looking around again.
Feeling the vibration intensity of the defensive accessories he was wearing becoming stronger and stronger, he realized that it had almost reached its limit. He immediately used his backpack as a cover to take out the defensive array disk from his space ring.
The formation stones were quickly installed, and the uncomfortable feeling gradually subsided.
Looking around at the other people, one after another, their faces became abnormally pale, and the speed of the increase was visible to the naked eye.
Up to now, no matter how confused he was, Sumarokov realized that the situation should not be underestimated, and that the things the other party took out must be magical weapons.
I have seen objects in my grandfather's study safe that require the input of internal energy to function. I have also heard that in the early years of ancient martial arts practice, there were people with various abilities, such as refining pills, weapons, and even formations, talismans, etc.
Then his eyes were filled with admiration, envy, and happiness, without any jealousy or greed.
The emotions in my heart can be expressed as barrage, and it is estimated that the screen is now filled with amazement and excitement. He secretly felt that he was indeed lucky enough, and he was not feeling unwell, thanks to the help of others.
Steven seemed to be certain that no one could escape the imprisonment, and he became more and more unscrupulous, even starting to boast: "Once I have squeezed every last bit of luck out of you, I believe the overall strength of the Roosevelt Family will be improved."
In order to get more information, Bai Jincheng immediately signaled the guys around him to follow his example and pretend to be in a similar state to those affected by the formation. However, there was a difference in their facial expressions. He quickly took out a paper bag and explained as he opened it: "The white powder inside is flour. I brought a lot of it. It can be regarded as a life-saving tool in an emergency. If it is suddenly scattered, it can at least affect the sight of the people who come. In addition, there is also chili powder. Don't be stunned, put some on your face quickly."
At this point, let alone from a distance, the difference between him and those guys next to him is negligible.
Steven quickly glanced at Bai Jincheng, then stopped and said in an unwilling tone: "If Jun Qingqing could come, I believe the effect would be better. The master has given many people with excellent luck, and she is definitely among the top few. But the reason for the reply made it impossible for us to refuse, so it was left unresolved."
