Chapter 302 Entering The Secret Chamber
Crack!
A loud sound rang out from the depths of the great hall. Following which, a hidden door was slowly opened.
“Hiss.”
When the thin man saw such a hidden door, he could not help but suck in a breath.
If it was someone who did not know how to open the secret chamber, even if they spent a week here, they might not be able to open the entrance to the secret chamber.
For example, the last time Lin Bai came to wreak havoc in the City Lord’s estate, he had sneaked into this hall. However, on one hand, he did not have much time, and on the other hand, he did not have any clues, so he did not find this secret chamber.
Soon after, the thin man rubbed his palms again. His eyes shone with a golden light as he said, “Since he hid it so mysteriously could there be something good inside? Cough, my cultivation has stagnated for many years. If there is…”
The thin man recalled fatty’s cultivation. It was something given to him by the City Lord, and he had successfully broken through.
He had only exchanged a few rounds with fatty, but the thin man could already feel the explosive increase in his strength after breaking through. This made him look forward to what he would look like after breaking through.
“No problem!”
Bai Xi nodded at Lin Bai and the thin man behind him. He had already confirmed that there were no traps at the entrance of the secret chamber.
The three of them stepped into the secret chamber together.
The door to the secret chamber was an unknown length of tunnel. The walls of the tunnel were smooth and complete. It looked like it had been excavated by humans.
After walking for about thirty meters, the tunnel gradually became wider. In the distance, there were two torches that lit up the open door.
“This is… The Smell of blood?!”
Just as Bai Xi approached the open door, a strong smell of blood assaulted her nostrils.
“Tsk, this fishy smell is not ordinary. What is the City Lord doing inside?”
The thin man turned to look at Lin Bai, wanting to get an answer from him.
From the thin man’s perspective, since Lin Bai had been slandered by the City Lord and was being pursued by the City Lord, he would definitely know some secrets about the City Lord.
However, the truth was not what the thin man had thought. Lin Bai did not know at all.
The open door was made of fine iron. When one touched it, one would feel a chill run down one’s spine.
In addition, strange black patterns were carved on both sides of the door. There was no logic in the carving of the patterns, as if it was someone’s casual work.
The skinny man was filled with excitement. After thinking for a long time, he could only give up. After taking two steps, he did not forget to turn around and spit.
Behind the door was a spacious and bright space. This was also the place where the smell of blood was the strongest. A few wooden tables were scattered all over the place. On the wooden tables were scattered bottles and jars, as well as books.
“These are all very ordinary books. These pills…” Bai Xi randomly picked up a few books and a few bottles of medicine. “These are also ordinary healing medicines. They’re not worth anything at all.”
“How can this be?” The Thin Man was a little unwilling. He picked up one book after another and bottle after bottle of medicine.
After a long while, the thin man seemed to have lost his dream. He said weakly, “They are all really ordinary things!”
“Come here and take a look.”
Lin Bai stood on the inside, his back facing the two of them. However, his voice was somewhat different.
Bai Xi and the thin man found it strange and hurried over, but the next second, they were stunned.
On the innermost side, there was a pool. The pool was emitting a foul smell. It was a scarlet liquid, and the liquid was mixed with hair, dead mice, and so on. “Ugh…”
Bai Xi and the thin man couldn’t help but run to the side and vomit.
It wasn’t that the two of them had never seen such a disgusting thing, and they had never seen such a disgusting thing.
“This is a blood pool, and there are many dead things in it…” Lin Bai pinched his nose and sized it up. “Maybe the City Lord is doing something unspeakable here, but what exactly is it…”
Lin Bai was also quite curious. To build such a large blood pool, it would definitely require a lot of people and wild beasts. The City Lord was actually able to do this without alerting others. Or, those who had already sensed that something was wrong were already..
“How disgusting!”
The thin man wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, and his face turned deathly pale. With that spit, he even spat out yesterday’s food.
“So the City Lord only used this secret chamber as a place to hide this blood pool?”
Bai Xi also walked over, and her expression was as unsightly as the thin man’s.
Lin Bai did not respond and looked around.
This huge space could be said to be empty. There were only medicine bottles, books, and wooden tables that had just been flipped over.
Other than that, there was this blood pool.
“No, what if the City Lord intentionally let people see this blood pool to make others think that this is his secret?”
Lin Bai’s words made the thin man and Bai Xi shiver.
“So you’re saying that there’s another mechanism here?”
The thin man looked around and for some reason, he felt a cold wind blowing from his back.
Bai Xi frowned and quickly said, “That must be it! Let’s hurry up and find it. Fatty definitely can’t delay for too long!”
Following that, the three of them began to rummage through this secret chamber to see if there was another mechanism that could open another secret chamber.
On the other side, the sun slowly rose.
Fatty was at the foot of a mountain, madly running forward, not daring to stop for even a moment.
Behind him was the City Lord, as well as a few of the City Lord’s subordinates.
“Fatty, you can’t have remembered wrongly, right? How long have we been chasing at this speed? The demon Lin Bai has two injured people with him, so there’s no way he can run fast! Logically speaking, we should have caught up to him!”
One of them asked, his voice filled with frustration.
This was no wonder. After all, they had not slept all night, and they had to continue chasing so early in the morning. If it was an ordinary person, they would not have been able to hold on.
“It’s absolutely right. I just saw them go in this direction.”
Fatty panted heavily. His clothes that were soaked in sweat stuck tightly to his fat body.
“Are you sure?”
The City Lord asked coldly. His eyes swept over fatty like blades.
“Absolutely!”
Fatty hurriedly nodded.
He could not help but regret. He regretted coming to the City Lord’s place as a spy. Although being a spy did bring him a lot of benefits, every minute and every second was a life of bloodshed. An ordinary person would not be able to stand it.
“City Lord.”
At this moment, another person opened his mouth.
“We have walked so far and did not even see the traces they left behind. Then, are they pretending to run over here for another purpose?”
The person who spoke was a thin man with deep-set eyes.
Just as he finished speaking, the City Lord’s expression changed, and so did fatty’s.
Fatty had never expected that his plan would be exposed so quickly. This was half the time that Lin Bai had given him!
“But we also don’t know if Lin Bai really did it. What if they are still ahead?”
Fatty had an idea and checked.
But the City Lord stopped and said, “Now, quickly follow me back to the City Lord’s estate!”
