Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 760 Pill Room Maze
"What was it just now, go and see."

As soon as I entered the iron gate, I heard a young man's voice. I was so scared that I immediately hid in the dark and didn't dare to make any moves.

The only luck is that there really seem to be only these two people here, at least I haven't seen any other people since I came in.

The two of them walked through the iron gate and looked in the direction I was running towards.

My heart is pounding, I don't have time to deal with my footprints, although the snow here is so hard that I shouldn't be able to see them clearly, but I think that young man is so keen, I think he will still notice it.

Once they find footprints, they will know that someone has come to the test drug base...

No!

I poked my head and took a quick glance outside. They were still moving forward, and it seemed that they hadn't found any footprints, so I started to act immediately.

When I was about to hide deeper in the base, I was frightened by Chimei's boldness.

This place is really not good, at least I can't see the side as far as I can see, but if it's just refining medicine, why do you need such a big place?
The former Red Eyebrow Gang members were right. This base is like a maze. There are four roads spreading out in front of my eyes. The roadsides are full of bronze tall stoves, which seem to be placed randomly, but when I saw The arrangement of these stoves is organized.

I am afraid that in addition to the function of refining medicine, this stove can also disturb the sight.

Originally, I should make a good distinction, but I heard the sound of them walking back, so I immediately plunged into the road farthest from the iron gate. Even if they came to check here, it would buy me the most time.

Besides, when Chimei comes, they will definitely follow, so I still have time.

I chose the fourth road. As soon as I entered this road, there was a large alchemy furnace as tall as a person. It was engraved with white cranes symbolizing longevity, the sun, the moon and stars, and there were piles of firewood underneath.

The way of refining medicine is actually exactly the same as in ancient times.

Looking at these alchemy furnaces, a thought slowly emerged in my mind——Chimei's big fight, it's impossible just to get revenge on 701. Could it be that he intends to use a fake elixir to deceive William?
Once this idea is formed in my mind, I can't erase it. But in the past 20 years, building such a base in the hinterland of Kunlun Mountains requires not only manpower, but also financial resources. How much can William pay him? Haven't let up all year?

I walked in the passage for about 2 minutes, and I didn't hear any movement, so I let go of my heart.

I climbed onto one of the stoves and lifted the lid to find it was empty, but it looked like it had been used recently.

I frowned, could it be because Chimei is coming, so they have already made all the preparations, and they don't even need to refine the elixir for the time being?
I looked at the alchemy furnaces on this line, there were basically one every five meters, and I felt something knocked in my heart. If they really tried medicine on this scale, then there must be a lot of medicine people who made it.

There is no medicine in the alchemy furnace, I have seen four or five alchemy furnaces all the way, and they are all empty, so where will they hide the medicine?
I looked at the intricate road ahead again, and felt a sudden pain in my head. I was running out of time. If I didn't find a place to put the elixir within half an hour, it would be very difficult to save Lao Yan and the others .

"Calm, calm, it must be in there."

I looked at the four forked roads that appeared again under my feet, and kept mumbling.

With such a four-way extension, I am afraid that the nearby cliffs will be opened up. They did this for the sake of scale, and secondly, to prevent being discovered.

In such a maze, it is even more difficult to find the correct place to put the elixir.

I ran one by one, and sometimes I could still see the stove that should have just been extinguished, but it was still empty.

I'm scratching my hair and the last 10 minutes...

Time passed by little by little, I don't know how many roads I have run, and I don't know where I am, I just feel that my head is in a mess.

"There's not enough time..." I looked at my watch, Chimei and the others should be arriving soon, and I can't run around anymore, if I run into them head-on, it will only be a dead end.

How to do?
I have to find the elixir before Chimei arrives, and then turn back, because I still have to follow him, and I need to know which line he went and where he went.

I stood in front of a pill furnace, tilted my head to look at the road ahead, and then slowly closed my eyes for at most 10 minutes, and if I couldn't find me in another 10 minutes, I had to go back.

I desperately chose the last path, and then ran forward with no head. Since there is no medicine in the pill furnace, there must be a special place for medicine. Even if the place is hidden, it will be different from other places, and I can definitely see it. of.

When I became more nervous, my thoughts gradually became clearer. No, I don't need to go back. As long as I find the place where the elixir is stored, Chimei and the others will definitely come!
With so many paths, they must have their own way of remembering, and it is impossible to walk blindly.

There are so many alchemy furnaces, so there will be so many people refining medicine. Where will their medicine go after they are successfully refined?
My footsteps stopped suddenly. There are so many people, not everyone is a master of memory, and according to what the little boss said, they sometimes have to go to the village to change a group of people, so there must be a mark!

After thinking about this, my eyes lit up instantly --- there must be a unique mark!

I no longer search for it, no matter what the mark is, there should be one on every line, for the convenience of everyone to recognize, so as long as I search carefully, I will definitely be able to find it.

I buried my head in the road to observe, and there are still 15 minutes left. If I can find a pattern, such a place must be enough.

Maybe it was really God's favor. In about one or two minutes, when my eyes swept to the foot of the stove, a not very obvious mark like the sun appeared in front of my eyes.

The mark seemed to be integrated with the stove, but I paid attention and found that the two identical stoves around were not.

sun, sun...

I continued to look forward, and after I found five suns above the stove, I think I probably figured out the pattern!
There is a long line of light around the sun, and this refers to the direction. You only need to find such a sun at the end of the road, sometimes at the intersection, sometimes about two or three meters in front of the intersection.

After mastering the rules, I no longer worry about getting lost, and my speed has increased.

About 15 minutes after arriving, I saw a room, yes, at the end of this intricate route, it turned out to be a room.

A normal-looking room that looks like an old smoker's office.

This room wasn't particularly big, but medicine pills really didn't need much storage space.

I exhaled, held the flying knife in my hand, and slowly leaned over.

The room door is locked, but it's just an ordinary lock. Although it takes a little effort to open it, it is not difficult.

I quickly fiddled with it, and then I smelled a medicinal fragrance.

The sweet and greasy scent made my stomach feel a little uncomfortable. When I walked in, I realized that my thinking was too simple. How can I exchange the 20-year stock?

I scanned around, and finally made a bold decision to destroy all the pills!
Even if they know that someone has been here, they may not necessarily think that it is me, and they will have nothing to do with what kind of medicine they want to make.

I raised my hand and was about to move when I suddenly heard a human voice.

I was startled—they arrived so soon?

I swept into the room, and there was no place to hide, but the sound was nearby, and it would be too late if I didn't hide.

I quickly glanced back, then exited the room, restored the lock to its original state, and finally fixed my eyes on the alchemy furnace.

It can only be this way.

I quickly climbed up to the alchemy furnace, and shut myself in with a bang.

There are hollow patterns on these stoves that can be seen from the outside. I lay on it and stared outside, but I didn't dare to stand up.

As soon as I hid myself in, the voice from over there had already come, it was the voice of a young man, and he was reporting the achievements of the past 20 years to Chimei.

"A total of more than 1000 pills have been successfully refined. It is estimated that one pill can control a person for half a year, but the side effect is that the person's vitality will decline rapidly. After half a year, it is very likely that the person will die of heart failure." Young The human voice lacked the slightest emotion, but I was terrified to hear it.

I retracted my gaze and kept my breathing to a minimum. This man is too sensitive, if my eyes were on him, he would definitely be able to spot it.

So I dare not take the risk.

Then there was the voice of Chimei questioning. After listening to it, I only felt that the blood in my whole body was boiling!
