Chapter 1441 The mystery deepens
  "It looks like there won't be any gains this time."

Looking at the huge room in front of him, Xiao Ning's heart dropped to the bottom of his heart.

Needless to say, there was basically no hope of catching Varuk this time.

You must know that this underground maze is bigger than Varuk's castle in Kas City.

In this huge maze, just finding the right path is not easy, let alone finding Varuk?

It can be said that Varuk does not need to escape from this place at all. As long as he hides and seeks with him here, he can drag it out for a long time.

"In that case, I will simply explore this place carefully to see if there is anything good worth using here."

Xiao Ning quickly adjusted his thinking and put Varuk's affairs behind him, with finding the treasure as his first goal.

After all, Varuk will hide, but the good things Varuk hides here will not grow wings and fly away on their own.

Of course, the main reason why Xiao Ning made this decision was because it was inconvenient to return to the ground now.

That Taiyi was searching for him everywhere, and he would be easily discovered by the other party as soon as he went up.

"In this situation, does it count as the mantis stalking the cicada and the oriole behind?"

Xiao Ning thought so as he stepped forward.

If this situation can be regarded as a mantis stalking a cicada, then it is obvious that he is the mantis and Taiyi is the oriole.

So if this mantis doesn't want to be eaten by the oriole, he must think of a way.

With such thoughts, Xiao Ning began to carefully examine this huge central room.

Judging from the layout of this room, there is no doubt that this is the center of the entire underground maze. The passages on the walls of the room can lead to various rooms in the maze.

It was precisely because of this that he decided to investigate this room first, and then use this place as the center to check other places in the underground maze one by one.

This is the safest and most secure way.

"What is this giant furnace in the middle of this room for?"

Xiao Ning came to the middle of the room and looked up at the furnace, which was three stories high.

Hot steam is constantly coming out of the furnace, but the temperature is not very high, and it is not clear what is being smelted inside.

Xiao Ning touched his chin and looked back and forth thoughtfully.

After watching this for a while, he suddenly flew up out of thin air and flew above the furnace.

The top of the furnace was covered with a huge lid, so Xiao Ning couldn't see what was going on inside.

But according to speculation, the temperature inside should not be very high.

"Perhaps there is no smelting at all, but the basic furnace temperature is maintained."

Xiao Ning thought for a while and quickly fell from the air.

He doesn't have enough time now, so he doesn't have time to check the furnace thoroughly. He can only get a general understanding first.

So after falling back to the ground, he turned around and walked towards the northwest side of the room to check some things stacked there.

This huge room is circular in shape, like a big upside-down wrist clasped on the ground.

The circular walls are regularly arranged with passage entrances and exits, and you can use these passages to travel to other parts of the maze.

So according to this layout, there shouldn't be so many things stacked in the northwest direction, which can easily block the road.

"It must have been moved here recently. These things must not have been here before."

Xiao Ning observed as he walked and quickly made a guess in his mind.

The ground was very clean, so it didn't look like the piled things had been there all year round, but that they had been moved here recently.

It can be seen that there must be people living and moving in this underground maze.

This shows that his previous guess that Varuk's conclusion here is already a definite fact.

While thinking about it, Xiao Ning had already arrived at this huge pile of debris.

Things were piled all over the floor, so it looked a bit messy.

But if you look carefully, you can still see that these things are placed regularly on the ground.

Xiao Ning guessed that these things might be related to the furnace, and the placement was to add them to the furnace in order.

"Perhaps Varuk noticed my arrival and temporarily shut down the furnace."

Xiao Ning glanced back at the huge furnace.

Varuk's cultivation path was completely different from his, so he didn't know what Varuk was doing here.

Otherwise, it would have been judged long ago, and there would be no full-screen guessing like now.

Xiao Ning touched his chin once and his eyes were half-closed.

He couldn't analyze the function of the furnace in a short time, so he could only check what the opponent's pile of things on the ground was.

Xiao Ning turned back and bent down to pick up an iron box on the ground.

Opening the iron box, you can see that there are two rows of black pill-like things inside, and the iron box has different layers. Xiao Ning opened each layer and found that there were also two rows of black pills neatly placed underneath.

"I don't know what it's for."

Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Ning had no choice but to close the iron box and put it back on the ground.

However, although he didn't know the function of these things, based on his guess, he could still determine that these things must be raw materials for refining potions.

Perhaps Varuk just wanted to melt a pot of healing potion.

"The possibility is not small."

Xiao Ning stared at the iron box for a while, thinking this in his mind.

Then, he quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at a large wooden box in the distance.

The reason why this large wooden box caught his attention was that it was quite old and was in a state of decay as a whole.

If you look at it from the outside, you would think it would fall into pieces if you touch it.

It looks so fragile.

Xiao Ning quickly walked to the big wooden box and carefully opened the lid of the box.

Like the iron box just now, this big wooden box has no lock.

Of course, this does not mean that it does not have a locking function, but that the lock has been opened and is in a state where people can take things out at any time.

"Huh? What are these things?"

Taking a look into the big wooden box, Xiao Ning felt confused.

The thing in the box looks like some kind of gel, but if you look closely, you will find that the texture is very hard.

Moreover, their colors are different. It can be said that there are no two pieces with exactly the same color.

"What do you think Varuk has collected?"

Xiao Ning shook his head and just wanted to say that an old antique like Varuk is really not simple.

If his strength was not obviously superior to Varuk's, he would not have dared to search for Varuk alone.

Such an old antique undoubtedly knows a lot and is very experienced, making him very difficult to mess with.

"Forget it, I don't know their purpose, so I'd better not touch them."

Xiao Ning originally wanted to pick up a piece and have a look, but for the sake of safety, he decided not to try.

You can never go wrong with being careful.

After closing the lid of the box, Xiao Ning looked around, looking for a more valuable target in this pile of messy things.

There are a lot of things here, but some of them look very ordinary at first glance and are not worth studying at all.

Just like those various unknown materials thrown directly on the ground, they are obviously of no value.

The valuable ones are packed in different containers and well preserved.

After watching for a while, Xiao Ning walked straight towards one of the boxes made of gold.

This box is almost one meter square. The entire box is gorgeously decorated. The box itself is very valuable.

Xiao Ning was curious about what exactly such a gorgeous box would store.

But when he walked to the box, there was a slight movement in the box.

"Ok?"

Xiao Ning stopped in alarm and stretched out his consciousness to check carefully.

After such an inspection, he found that his consciousness could not penetrate into the gold box at all.

It can be seen that this box is extremely tightly sealed. “Interesting, there are quite a lot of new things here in Varuk.”

Xiao Ning took a step forward and looked down at the golden box in these words.

Immediately afterwards, he urged his true energy to open the lid of the box out of thin air.

As soon as he got started, he immediately discovered that the box was extremely heavy, as if it were a huge piece of broken gold.

And the moment he opened the box, he felt relieved.

Because this gold box lid is indeed made of pure gold and is solid.

And the same goes for the box below.

This one-meter-square box has only ten cubic centimeters of internal storage space.

The area beyond these ten cubic centimeters is all solid gold.

"No wonder the seal is so tight."

Xiao Ning nodded secretly.

"But why is there nothing inside?"

There is nothing inside this extremely solid gold box.

The storage compartment of about ten cubic centimeters was completely empty.

"Maybe it was taken away by Varuk."

Xiao Ning could only come to this guess.

Then, he closed the lid of the box again and continued to check other things here.

And as he continued to check, some answers gradually emerged.

As he had just guessed, the things piled here were used to refine potions.

Xiao Ning didn't know what the potion was used for. He only knew that this potion was absolutely worth a fortune.

Because the raw materials on the ground alone all looked valuable.

"It's a pity that I don't know their purpose, otherwise I would definitely put them to good use."

Xiao Ning felt it was a pity.

Varuk must have spent countless time and labor collecting these things, and he has been keeping them for many years without wanting to use them.

However, even if he was lucky enough to get these good things now, he would not be able to use them at all.

Xiao Ning shook his head slightly, turned around and looked around the room.

There is nothing else in this huge room except the huge furnace in the middle and the sundries placed on the floor.

So he must choose a passage next and enter it to explore.

"These things are placed on the northwest side of this room. In other words, they were all moved here from the passage on the northwest side."

Xiao Ning quickly analyzed it.

According to common sense, people will definitely put things in the nearest place.

So where these things are placed reflects where they come from.

"Looking at it this way, the several passages on the northwest side should all lead to different warehouses."

Xiao Ning touched his chin and moved his eyes back and forth at the passages on the northwest side.

He was now wondering whether to go to those passages to find out.

The things placed on the ground were all moved here not long ago. If it was Varuk who moved them, there would be two possibilities.

The first type is that Varuk hasn't finished moving his things, so he is currently rummaging through something in a warehouse on the northwest side.

Second, Varuk has moved all the things that need to be moved here and will not go to the warehouse on the northwest side again in the short term.

"There are two possibilities, so it means there is no result."

Xiao Ning shook his head.

The situation where both possibilities are present is the same as the situation where no clues are found.

Because in the end you still have to rely on Meng.

"Then let's bet he's still in the warehouse on the northwest side."

Xiao Ning made a quick decision and planned to visit the northwest area first.

In fact, another reason for this decision was that Xiao Ning wanted to go to those warehouses to see if there were any good things.

After all, these things placed on the ground look like treasures.

Without thinking any more, Xiao Ning walked towards the first passage on the left.

After some progress, Xiao Ning successfully passed through the passage and arrived at the other end of the passage.

This passage was very long, so the distance he walked along the way was about the same as the distance he walked from the empty room to the central room in the first place.

"It's indeed a warehouse!"

After walking out of the passage, Xiao Ning felt happy.

His analysis was absolutely correct, this was indeed a warehouse.

After a quick glance, Xiao Ning took in the general layout of the warehouse.

Judging from the layout, this warehouse seems to store some kind of single item.

Because the shelves throughout the warehouse are neat and uniform, and the storage boxes on the shelves all have the same specifications.

"What is so large that it requires an entire warehouse to store it?"

With this curiosity, Xiao Ning quickly walked to one of the shelves and opened a storage box on the shelf.

"empty."

Shaking his head, Xiao Ning walked directly towards the deepest shelf.

It is estimated that the outer shelves have been emptied by Varuk, so it is safest to go directly to the innermost one.

Quickly arriving at the innermost shelf, Xiao Ning opened a storage box again.

"Blood?"

Xiao Ning swallowed.

This storage box is filled with densely packed blood.

"Is this Varuk a vampire?"

"Isn't he a great magician?"

Xiao Ning was a little confused about the situation.

Why did Varuk collect so much blood?

With this doubt, Xiao Ning quickly checked the other storage boxes on the shelf.

Without exception, every storage box was filled with blood.

So if the entire warehouse is added up, the blood stored here is estimated to be as much as several swimming pools.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

Xiao Ning narrowed his eyes, not knowing whether he should be happy or worried.

The more mysterious Varuk is, the more dangerous he is.

Xiao Ning even felt that Varuk might not be alone now, but that there was another extraordinary strong person with him.

For example, vampires have lived from the Middle Ages to the present day.

"However, this blood is quite useful to me. If used properly, maybe..."

Xiao Ning's thoughts quickly turned and drifted to another place.

The method of flesh and blood rejuvenation he has mastered can also make use of the blood stored in the warehouse.

If used well, it will be of great use.

Of course, the premise is that the blood is not the blood of ordinary people, otherwise it will not be of much use.

"Let's see where all this blood comes from."
