Chapter 303 Hard Search
In the secret chamber, the atmosphere was becoming more and more agitated. Coupled with the stench of blood in the blood pool, it made people feel even more agitated and depressed. It was very difficult for them to calm down.
Lin Bai, Bai Xi, and the thin man were sweating profusely. They were in a state of anxiety as they searched every corner of the secret chamber. They did not even let go of the pebbles scattered in the corners.
“I’ve checked all these bottles and jars. I’ve also checked these books carefully. There’s nothing suspicious about them, let alone any traps!”
The thin man’s forehead was covered in sweat, and his eyes were filled with anxiety. He was like an ant standing on a hot pot. He could only look left and right anxiously.
The bottles, jars, and books in front of him were all opened, and the things inside were poured out. The thin man had even checked whether there were any hidden layers in these old books.
He was an expert in this area, and he was able to inspect them smoothly and seamlessly. However, even at this level, he still did not find anything suspicious.
This made the thin man suspect that there was no mechanism in this secret chamber. In fact, the City Lord’s secret was not in the City Lord’s estate, and all of this was just a cover for the City Lord to trick them into coming here?
With this thought in mind, the thin man felt a thin layer of cold sweat all over his body, which made him shiver involuntarily.
The thin man looked around the secret chamber and felt that the secret chamber had become even colder and more terrifying than before. He hurriedly shook his head and pushed this thought out of his mind.
Bai Xi panted heavily and kept wiping the sweat on her forehead. She simply sat down next to the thin man and said, “I’ve checked all the corners and places that I think are possible, as well as the floors. Everything is normal.”
Bai Xi searched the entire floor of the secret chamber, inch by inch, from beginning to end. She was sure that she had not missed a single spot. However, even with this kind of thorough search, she still could not find anything suspicious.
Bai Xi was also very depressed about this. Based on their speculation, there was another secret chamber in this secret chamber. It was basically a nail in the coffin. However, how would they enter the other secret chamber?!
“Do you think there’s no secret chamber here?”
The skinny man asked in a low voice, as if he was afraid that someone would see this voice.
“There must be one. It must be hidden somewhere else.”
Bai Xi shook her head, but even though she said that, she was also thinking about the possibility that the skinny man had mentioned.
“No, I didn’t find anything either.”
Lin Bai walked over and shook his head. Behind him was Little Black, Little Green, and Little Red. The three little beasts also shook their heads cutely. Their black eyes blinked, and they felt a little guilty.
Lin Bai and the three little beasts searched the walls and the ceiling one by one, but they did not find anything suspicious.
Little Red even flew in the sky and touched every part of the ceiling. At this moment, it was sitting on the ground with a haggard face.
This made Lin Bai very puzzled. If there was another secret room in this secret room, then there must be some kind of mechanism here. Even if it was opened by other means, there would still be some traces left behind. However, Lin Bai did not find any traces of these two possibilities. This made him think about it, but he could not figure it out.
Looking at the time, the City Lord might have already discovered them. No matter how much they chased after them, there was no trace of them. Gradually, they began to suspect their true purpose. Even if fatty was there, he would not be able to delay them for
long.
Therefore, they had to speed up on their side. However, the current situation made Lin Bai somewhat at a loss.
“These tables, books, bottles, and jars aren’t here, nor are they on the ground or on the walls… Does that mean that this place might be the City Lord’s trap, and that he wants us to walk right into it?!”
In the end, the thin man couldn’t hold back the thought in his heart. He asked Bai Xi and Lin Bai, his expression a little nervous.
Once this thought appeared, it would linger in his mind, and he simply couldn’t get rid of it.
“No! There must be something here. We subconsciously did not look for it. Think about it carefully. With the City Lord’s temperament, this place is definitely just a diversion.”
Lin Bai shook his head. What the skinny man said, Lin Bai had also thought about it seriously in his heart.
However, if the City Lord really wanted them to walk into the trap and let them come to this secret room, then the City Lord himself did not need to run around with fatty. With the City Lord’s cunningness, he would definitely have a better idea. He would let Lin Bai and the others fall into the trap without anyone noticing. It wouldn’t be as time-consuming and laborious as it was now.
“But, we’ve already searched this place, and there really isn’t any! Look, there are tables, bottles, jars, and books. I definitely didn’t leave any of them behind. The thin man became anxious. He was afraid that the City Lord would appear behind him in the next moment. At that time, the entrance to this secret chamber would be small and narrow. If there were a bunch of people blocking the entrance, then the three of them would really be unable to escape. Looking at the blood pool skinny man, he could guess the consequences of being caught by the City Lord. It would definitely be extremely cruel and tragic.
Lin Bai frowned. He placed a hand on his chin and rubbed his chin as he fell into deep thought.
Just as he was at a loss, Little Black rubbed Lin Bai’s leg. Seeing that Lin Bai did not react, it opened its mouth and bit on Lin Bai’s pants.
“Eh? Little Black, what’s wrong?”
Lin Bai lowered his head and looked at the pitch-black Little Black as he asked.
Little Black tugged at Lin Bai’s pants and pulled him inside. Then, he pointed at a claw in a human-like manner. “There, there, we haven’t searched there yet!”!
Bai Xi and the skinny man saw Little Black’s actions. They followed Little Black’s claw and looked over. That was the inner side of the secret chamber, but that place had clearly been searched by Bai Xi. There wouldn’t be any place left behind.
“No, there’s still that blood pool!”
Bai Xi cried out in surprise and stood up from the ground. The excitement on her face couldn’t be suppressed, but the smile on her face soon disappeared.
After all, that blood pool was different from an ordinary blood pool. There were too many disgusting and rotten things in it. Just standing next to it made people feel the urge to vomit. They wanted to vomit their entire stomachs out.
“Is there really something there?!”
The thin man’s expression was extremely ugly. If there was something in the blood pool, then that was another matter. If there wasn’t anything in the blood pool, they would have stained their entire bodies with the rotten and stinky blood, rotten flesh, and corpses…
Just thinking about it made the thin man want to retreat.
“Since things have come to this point, we can only give it a try. If there isn’t anything here, we can only retreat quickly. Fatty won’t be able to hold on for long!”
Lin Bai followed Little Black to the side of the blood pool. He had already made up his mind. He had to search the blood pool. If he couldn’t find it, he had to leave the City Lord’s estate quickly.
Otherwise, they and fatty wouldn’t have a good ending.
“Damn it! Let’s do it!”
