Chapter 751 The Fifth Lock
Shao Xuan didn't look at those stones more. He flipped over Sule's recliner. There was a secret lattice under the recliner, but there were only some beautiful gems inside. Important things might have been taken away by Sule. ●⌒,
Shao Xuan stepped over the recliner and came to the recliner behind. This was where the controller who controlled the monsters sat. There was also a secret lattice under the recliner, with no gems inside, only a few bottles. Shao Xuan sniffed it. Eight bottles, four bottles may be healing or other purposes, and should be non-toxic. The other four bottles gave Shao Xuan a bad feeling, perhaps poisonous, or something else.
Judging from the traces of the dark square, there should be ten bottles in it, but two of them were taken away, perhaps because the other party took them away before escaping.
Shao Xuan took off the entire secret lattice and put it aside. He walked around the hut, then changed his vision and swept the hut. There was no other secret lattice here, but there was another floor below the hut. In Shao Xuan's vision, there was a person below. He could only see the skeleton, and he didn't know what that person looked like, but Shao Xuan became alert after seeing the skeleton below.
The human skeleton is very bright in Shao Xuan's vision. The bones of strong people and weak people have qualitative differences, and are different in Shao Xuan's special vision. The bones of the strong are brighter. The bones below are brighter than those of Ao and Zhengluo! Shao Xuan has never seen bones so bright on a person.
The flame that had just been extinguished in the knife in his hand ignited again. Shao Xuan had to be cautious. He did not feel the breath of a living person, nor did he feel the fluctuations of other powers. He thought there was no such a man who was controlled here, but who was below?
Shao Xuan jumped out of the cottage, raised his arm and swung his hand, and a gap was cut from the side of the cottage close to the ground. He could see the situation inside from the cottage.
There is a long wooden box inside, which is like a coffin, putting people inside.
There was still no movement.
A long gap was broken under the hut, and the beetles did not crawl inside. The hut seemed to have been sprinkled with medicine. It has a deportation effect on beetles, so those beetles will not get close to here.
Shao Xuan looked inside for a while, walked over, and dragged the coffin out with his hand without a knife.
Strangely, the little beetles were too evaded by this coffin. They didn't get close to them at all. After Shao Xuan dragged the coffin out and put it on the ground, all the beetles around him avoided them.
Could it be that this coffin has also been sprinkled with insecticide?
"A Xuan, what is that?"
The Ta and the others dared not approach because of the insect tide, so they could only stand farther and watch. Seeing Shao Xuan dragging such a thing out from under the hut, the others were also curious.
"I don't know." Shao Xuan said, using the tip of the knife to lift the cover above.
There was a shriveled man inside, with dark skin and the clothes on his body looked a little strange and simple, and they looked broken. The ornaments seemed to have been left for a long time, and they would break up once they pinched, and they couldn't tell what they were originally.
If you only look at the clothes and accessories, this corpse should have been left for a long time, but this corpse looks similar to other controlled weirdos. The whole body is shriveled, and the traces of ribs can be clearly seen, the abdomen is sunken, but there is no trace of breaking.
Those weird people had signs of breaking their organs because they were taken out. But this was not. Did the people from Yanling not have time to do it, or did they deliberately fail to do this? Or were they other reasons?
With an eagle outside, Shao Xuan stopped looking at the person and closed the lid again. This kind of weirdo is not suitable for contacting the sun, otherwise the controllers would not cover the whole body of the weirdo with thick cloth, which is to block the sun.
Zhazha did not participate in the close-range war. It kept staring at high altitude to prevent others from approaching and causing them to be attacked from both sides. Now Zhazha has prompted again, but it is not the enemy attack, but the sapphire is back.
Even if there was no reminder from Zhaozha, Shao Xuan could feel it. However, the sapphire looked a bit miserable. Both the forelimbs and the hind legs were seriously injured. The two forelimbs, one missing one, and the other was not very good. There were many injuries. The hind legs were almost the same as the forelimbs. There were many signs of impact on the armor. It was obviously a smooth arc, but it seemed to have been smashed.
It was not so miserable when it came out of the sand and chased the golden-armored beast. It was obviously caused by the continued pursuit.
When Sapphire came back, it pushed a sand ball, which liked to wrap the loot into a ball and push it.
When the sapphire was pushing the ball upside down, the sand ball was a little higher than it, and on the sand ball, two golden hard armors were shining under the sun.
It was a hard piece of the two parts of the golden-armored monster, with flesh on it, and it was pulled down from the golden-armored monster.
Shao Xuan's gaze moved away from the sand ball and placed it on the sapphire that had already walked to the front of him.
When he looked closer, Shao Xuan found that the sapphire-like head was also slightly tilted, and the two paddle-shaped tentacles were hanging like folded antennas.
When Sapphire chased him, Shao Xuan did not let it fight to the death, but unexpectedly, this guy was chased to such an extent.
Sapphire seemed to be in a hurry to explain something, because there was a connection in consciousness, Shao Xuan could roughly know why it failed to bring Sule and the controller. Sule and his team had reinforcements, otherwise it would not have been so miserable.
Sapphire rolled the big sand ball in front of Shao Xuan, meaning that it was to let Shao Xuan test the results. The two folded tentacles swung, a little rapid and nervous.
Seeing sapphire like this, Shao Xuan smiled, broke the sand ball with a knife, and dug out two golden ring-shaped hard armors from the sand ball. There was no one here, but there were two small bottles, which should be together with the eight bottles that Shao Xuan found in the dark lattice of the hut, perhaps dropped by the other party when he was chased by sapphire.
The mouth of the bottle was blocked tightly. Shao Xuan looked at it and the bottle was not broken. The medicine inside had a cool smell, which made people feel energetic, because it should be a healing medicine.
In addition to these, Shao Xuan also dug out a palm-sized blue metal card from the sand ball, with words engraved on it, engraved with the number "Twenty-two".
Let's not talk about what this number means. The metal card, the size of a palm in Shao Xuan's hand, is similar to the new bronze of Yanke. It should have been made by Yanling people with the blood of the green-faced and fanged beasts, but the texture is slightly better than Yanke and it is made more refined.
Looking at the big blue beetle standing nervously in front of him, Shao Xuan asked, "Do you want to untie the last lock?"
The two tentacles of the sapphire vibrated, and the one that was folded down seemed to be lifted up, and the hind legs that were missing were kicking the sand. This was exciting.
In fact, Shao Xuan did not intend to unlock the fifth lock so quickly. One is the fourth lock of sapphire that didn’t wake up for a long time after unlocking it. Unlocking the fifth lock so quickly would have certain risks.
Second, it is also the one that Shao Xuan considered the most. The more slaves unlocked, the stronger their strength will become. Many slaves who broke free from the shackles rushed to the rush after unlocking the second and third locks with their talents and willpower. Sapphire is different from the slaves of the other three locks. When Shao Xuan enslaved it, he put down five locks, and now he has unlocked four of them.
Shao Xuan didn't know whether the big beetle would escape from his control after revealing the fifth path and even directly broke free from the power of enslavement. However, after he left the desert this time, he didn't know when he would come next time, and whether the injured sapphire would be targeted by Yanling's people. What will happen then? Shao Xuan could not predict.
The people who did not catch Sule this time will definitely try their best to avenge with Sule's revenge. Yanjiao is too far away from the desert, and Sule is unlikely to leave the desert, so he can only use sapphires to take surgery. The target of the insect tide is too great. It is not impossible for Sule to find sapphires, and he can even make some traps to lure the insect swarm.
Many factors need to be considered. If you are not careful, the knife in your hand may also become a tool to stab you. But the performance of sapphire this time made Shao Xuan decide to unlock the fifth lock.
Jiju once said that the first slave was far more loyal than other slaves, and Shao Xuan was willing to take a gamble. Even if it really broke free from the control of slavery in the future, it would not turn against Shao Xuan.
In addition to sapphire, this time when he came to the desert, Shao Xuan discovered that sapphire faintly affected other beetles following it. The swarms had changed, and some beetles with larger sizes than other beetles appeared inside. When sapphires were dormant, those beetles were carrying swarms to sweep the desert. During each swarm, beetles died and new beetles joined. The swarms expanded compared to before. However, according to the conditions here, the number of beetles in the swarm may eventually remain within a range. If there are too many beetles and the food they can capture is limited, they cannot survive normally.
However, what will happen to the insect swarm in the future depends on sapphires. The beasts with leaders are completely different from those without leaders. The beasts with leaders know how to cooperate strategically, while the beasts without leaders will become more scattered and will not survive for a long time.
"I don't know what it will become after you completely unlock it." Shao Xuan whispered at the big beetle in front of him who was kicking his legs excitedly.
The insect tide retreated, and the Yanjiao people took off the armor from the slaves who were willing to be left with only bones. In the words of the craftsmanship, they were all good materials for casting.
The two golden hard armors brought back by Sapphire were also taken by Yanjiao people. Shao Xuan carried the wooden box like a coffin, and he planned to go back and study it carefully.
Everyone did not stay there for a long time, and left after a short rest to prevent Yanling from coming.
When it was almost at the edge of the desert, Shao Xuan untied the fifth lock for the sapphire.
Perhaps, after all unlocking, it can attack the target of the king beast like other ferocious beasts. (To be continued.)
