Chapter 340 The Underground Treasure
Among the ruins of the former Northwind family castle, a group of shirtless strong men are sweating and digging with shovels.The family castle that the gold rank powerhouse can knead at will like a toy is still a colossus constructed of hundreds of tons of rock bricks and tiles to ordinary people, even if it is turned into ruins, it is enough to make people sigh.

The strong men worked very efficiently, and it took only half a day to dig out a tunnel with a diameter of ten meters deep into the ground. But so far, except for the damaged gold and silver utensils, nothing has been found in the ruins. any worthwhile goal.This made the face of the brotherhood leader standing aside even more gloomy.

"If it turns out that you're playing tricks on us..." the brotherhood leader turned his head, glanced coldly at the sweating man lying at his feet, and said in a gloomy tone.

"I absolutely dare not lie to you, my lord! If there is half a lie, my whole family will die!" The bald man trembled, raised his head and showed a flattering smile.

Even though his wife and daughter were being pushed to the ground not far behind him, and even though his own fat belly was dragged to the ground and was bloody, the bald man still didn't dare to reduce the smile on his face.Because he had already suffered enough, he knew that if he slack off even a little bit, his life would be lost.

Shameless aristocrats... The leader of the brotherhood slandered in his heart, bullying such a scum who abandoned all moral integrity and only cared about his own life would not be a pleasure, even though he hated these moth-like nobles before, but now this This kind of revenge has become dull.A dog biting a dog is still a bit of a sight, but a person biting a dog can only mean that the person is mentally ill.If the Prophet hadn't specially arranged for him to complete this job, he wouldn't even want to talk nonsense with this stinking ****.

It would be great if the person kneeling in front of me was an Istarenian. I heard that there are many girls in the Istarenian team, even if their cavalrymen hug them left and right, they can't take care of them, could it? Say this is the secret of the strength of those Istarenians?Aren't those savages afraid of soft feet?

This kind of delusion can only be maliciously guessed in his heart, he still doesn't have the courage to speak out.From a certain point of view, in front of those lunatics in Istaren, he is no different from this lump of **** kneeling on the ground.Realizing this, the leader of the fraternity couldn't help becoming furious and kicked the bald man out.

"My lord! My lord! I swear that what I said is true! My ancestors served as stewards for the Beifeng family for seven terms, and no one knows the tricks in the castle better than me. Right here, I remember it clearly!" The bald man crawled back clutching his stomach, and said with an oath.At this time, of course he can't say that he didn't remember this kind of nonsense anymore, otherwise he might have to move his head in the next moment.

"There is a secret room in the basement of the castle. Ordinary people are not allowed to approach it. All the wealth of the Beifeng family is hidden there. Only the blood of the head of the family can open the magic seal on the door..." The bald man noticed the expression on the brotherhood leader's face It was a bit ugly, so he quickly changed his words and said: "Only the gate has a seal, now we dig from top to bottom, as long as we dig through the wall!"

As if to verify his words, there was a shout before the words fell: "We have dug something! This soil is so hard, it seems to be harder than rocks!"

"That's it! That's it!" The bald man screamed in surprise, the brotherhood leader's eyes lit up, he turned over and jumped down the hole.The others stepped aside quickly, revealing the masonry exposed from the soil under their feet—it looked the same color as the soil, but the smoothness and compactness of the surface were obviously different.The leader of the Brotherhood sneered, took a pickaxe from the person next to him, took a deep breath, tensed his muscles, and smashed it down with all his strength.

Hearing a loud bang, the pickaxe sank deeply into the mud and stones on the ground, and there was a cracking sound like a broken bone under his feet. The leader of the Brotherhood laughed loudly, and beckoned his subordinates to get out of the way.He himself relied on his agility and refused to dodge. He just waited for the ground to collapse and he was the first to jump off.

To his disappointment, there was only a small gap in the ground, and the leader of the Brotherhood stomped heavily, crushing the bricks in the crack, and jumped down first.Seeing the anxious look of his boss, the surrounding subordinates couldn't help showing envious and jealous expressions.But before they came back to their senses, there was a scream from the ground.

The leader of the fraternity jumped up at double the speed of jumping down just now, and in just one breath, this strong man was torn off with one arm.His face was full of horror, and he waved his hands frantically at his subordinates, trying to say something in his mouth, but the mud sticking to his face had already stuck his mouth.

The black sludge grabbed onto the brotherhood leader's body like it was alive, and quickly swallowed him up amidst the panicked shouts of others.Only at this time did the onlookers realize that something was wrong, and they fled one after another trying to climb out of the pothole, but at this moment, a black fountain suddenly shot out from the crack in the ground, and black sludge fell from the sky like raindrops. It fell like a dragon, covering everyone in the pit.

The miserable wailing sounded endlessly, and the bald man lying outside the tunnel hugged his head tightly, not daring to look up.He had never heard of such a vicious trap hidden in the treasury of the Beifeng family. Now, no matter how he explained it, he might not be able to escape the killing of the brotherhood.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, the bald man subconsciously opened his eyes, and saw a pair of muddy feet at first sight.Before he could react, he felt himself being pulled up by an irresistible force and hung in mid-air.The foul-smelling mud splashed on his face, and could not wait to get into his ears and nostrils.

At the last moment of losing consciousness, the bald man saw the figure of the murderer. It was a rotting creature that seemed to be fished out of a swamp. The remaining maid costumes on the body can be seen from the appearance of the human being

"Qiqi...?" Perhaps due to years of close contact, the bald man recognized the monster's identity at a glance, but it didn't save his life.With a bang, the bald man's head exploded like a rotten watermelon, and black sludge was scattered everywhere.The sludge in the girl's hands rolled and twisted continuously, and finally gathered into a strange sword-shaped object.She raised her head and looked around, and rushed towards the hands left by the Brotherhood in the distance.

Why a mutated murderous monster jumped out of the treasure room of the Beifeng family is a problem that the fraternity must worry about. What El is thinking about now is...why does Simaco not only know the location of the treasure house, but even open the door? Are the methods clear?
It is true that the real treasure house is hidden underground in the castle, but it is absolutely impossible to dig it out with manpower, because the Beifeng family hid the treasure house deep in the underground veins.

The Sword Castle area was rich in gems, and the Sword Master of the North Wind established a city here and monopolized all the gem veins here.After 1000 years, the gem veins near the city have been hollowed out, leaving only ancient mines deep underground.These mines have been abandoned for at least 500 years, and almost all the passages connecting to the upper floors have collapsed. Except for the secret passage controlled by the owner of the Beifeng family, no one can find other entrances.

So when Simaco led a group of people through the sewer to the mine with ease and found the hidden treasure house without any difficulty, the expression on El's face was very intriguing.

At this time, Sima Ke also knew that there was no need to continue to hide. He wiped his blood on the entrance of the gate, slowly pushed the gate open, turned his head and smiled bitterly at El: "Actually, you guessed it, I am The illegitimate son of the old Patriarch, that is, the eldest daughter's half-brother."

I guessed a ghost!El slandered in his heart, but he still nodded without changing his face and said: "Looking at you, this matter should be a secret, right? Miss Diana doesn't know?"

"It's indeed a secret, but I think the eldest lady has guessed a little bit, otherwise she wouldn't trust me so much." Sima Ke shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It's a very common story. The old master raped me once he was drunk. My mother is still his cousin in terms of blood... Later he covered up the scandal and didn't tell me the truth until after my nominal father passed away."

"Why do I think that old guy has ulterior motives?" El sneered while crossing his arms.

"That's true. The old patriarch has no heirs these years, only the eldest daughter and a daughter. He kept me by his side just in case." Sima Ke nodded, sighed and said: "I don't hate him, At least he gave me the opportunity to learn swordsmanship, and entrusted all these secrets to me, because he was afraid of this situation. The background of the Beifeng family is actually not weak, but there is really no birth in the family except for swordsmanship talent. I have never had talents in other fields, so I have been keeping a low profile until now. But those short-sighted rebels sold out the entire family for some petty profits. These bastards are not a pity to die."

"Okay, I understand your feelings. I also met that kind of brain-dead people in Eastalon." El patted Simaco on the shoulder, raised his legs and walked inside, saying Said: "Let me see your so-called gemstone armament, is it really that powerful?"

"It's scarier than you think," Simaco said.
