The smell carried by that wind contained the smell of weapons, and it was not just any ordinary weapons, it was the smell of firearms and instruments unique to Blackfire Company. Ning Tao is very sensitive and familiar with this smell, even a little bit can arouse his vigilance.
Among the eight people carried by the two speedboats, there was a new demon, and the source of the smell of firearms and magic weapons was on his body. However, his cultivation level is very weak, which can be seen from the weak demonic energy in his innate aura.
Ning Tao simply stopped the motorized boat and picked up his fishing rod to fish. The corner of his eye was locked on the two speedboats that were speeding towards him. He was also thinking secretly in his heart: "The new monsters of Black Fire Company are getting more and more popular." There are so many, giving people a feeling of endless emergence, but the first level a person must pass to become a new demon is the demon disease. Without the intervention of Tiandao Medical Center, it is a fatal disease, so how can these new demons be cured? Where is the demon disease?"
Before Ning Tao could figure out the problem, the two speedboats came over, sandwiching his motor boat on the left and right.
"Hey!" A white man with a beard said fiercely: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
He is the new demon with a bit of demonic aura about him.
Ning Tao looked at him with a confused look on his face: "I am... why should I tell you? Who are you? Didn't you see me fishing? If you come here like this, you will scare away my fish!"
The white man with a beard said: "We are National Guardsmen, patrolling here. We have the right to inspect your body and your boat. Please accept our inspection. Do not resist, otherwise we have the right to shoot."
As soon as he finished speaking, a mercenary standing next to him took out a pistol, pointed it at Ning Tao, and then scolded Ning Tao: "Raise your hands and stand up slowly!"
Ning Tao pretended to be nervous and scared. He stood up and said, "What are you doing? I didn't break the law. Let me tell you, I have a friend who is a lawyer."
No one paid any attention to him.
Two mercenaries got on Ning Tao's boat, one searched Ning Tao's boat, and the other searched Ning Tao's body.
The motorized boat was a rental and contained nothing but a spare bucket of fuel and fishing gear. Ning Tao didn't carry anything abnormal, only the key to Tiandao Medical Center.
The mercenary in charge of collecting Ning Tao's body discovered the key. He pulled the key out of Ning Tao's collar: "What is this?"
Ning Tao said: "This is an amulet given to me by a priest. He said that if you use it to open heaven, don't touch it, it will bring you bad luck."
The mercenary tugged hard on the rope holding the key. He wanted to pull the key off, but the rope was made of Tianbao silk and he couldn't pull it off at all.
At this moment, Ning Tao had the urge to take action, but then suppressed the urge. A small impatience will mess up a big plan. Once Nicholas Conti is alerted, it is equivalent to alerting the enemy. His plan to kill Nicholas Conti within this month will not be realized.
The mercenary couldn't pull the rope anymore, stretched out his hand to press down Ning Tao's head, and then took off the key and the rope. He took the key and looked over it, but the key looked a bit old and nothing special. After reading it, he threw the key into the lake.
Ning Tao pretended to be angry and said: "What are you doing? It is very important to me!"
The mercenary who threw away the key punched Ning Tao in the abdomen.
Ning Tao bent down in cooperation and let out a cry of pain, but in fact he didn't feel any pain in his lower abdomen.
"Leave here immediately. This place is under military control. If you dare to come to this place again, don't blame us for being rude to you!" With a harsh word, he and the mercenary in charge of searching the ship left Ning Tao's motor boat. , returned to their speedboat.
Bang bang bang!
The mercenary with a gun fired three shots at the side of the boat, and three splashes of water suddenly appeared on the lake.
"I'm going, I'm going, don't shoot." Ning Tao pretended to be scared, then started the engine of the motor boat, and then drove the boat back. During this process, he put his hand into the water, reached out and grabbed it, and instantly there was something in his hand.
That was the key to the Tiandao Medical Center that was thrown into the lake.
The key to Tiandao Medical Center cannot be destroyed, he can summon it immediately.
"It seems that next time there is such an action, I have to put the key somewhere else. It is a flaw." Ning Tao thought in his heart. The key to Tiandao Medical Center can evade the most advanced detection equipment in the world and cannot be displayed, but if someone reaches out to search you, it can be found.
The people on the two speedboats watched Ning Tao go away, then turned around, walked around the small island, and disappeared.
But Ning Tao did not go back, but drove the motor boat forward until more than ten kilometers later, he stopped at a backwater bay and set up a fishing rod to fish.
Not long after, a bright spot appeared in the sky and flew over his head.
That's a drone.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Ning Tao's mouth: "Nicholas Conti, haven't you heard of the saying "One hundred secrets and one sparse"? The more careful you are, the less you want me to find your lair, the harder I will be. Come to you quickly."
Although he didn't see the ghost ship or any buildings, he was sure that the new headquarters of Black River Company was on the island in the center of Yellowstone Lake. And that ghost ship, if nothing unexpected happens...
It's underwater!
Ning Tao did not take immediate action after the drone left, but concentrated on fishing. His hard work paid off and he actually caught a few fish. Half an hour later, the drone flew over his head again.
This time Ning Tao took action. After the drone disappeared from his sight, he fell back and fell into the lake.
The Tianbao robe can avoid water and fire. After entering the water, a waterless space is formed around his body. The space used to be small, but with the increase in his cultivation level and the re-refining of the Tianbao robe, the space is now very large, at least more than ten square meters, and a speedboat cannot fit it in. question.
The average depth of Yellowstone Lake is more than 100 meters deep, and even this backwater bay is dozens of meters deep. Because there is no pollution, the water is clear, and sunlight shines through overhead, illuminating the underwater world.
There are rocks and silt at the bottom of the lake. The terrain slopes downward. The further you go, the deeper the water becomes and the dimmer the light becomes.
A distance of more than ten kilometers, how long will it take to walk like this
"I wonder if you can fly with a gun underwater?" Ning Tao stopped not far away, spread out the palm of his right hand, and with a thought, a ball of ink gun air emerged from his palm. The next second, the gun gas burst out like a cloud of ink smoke, and a spear with a barrel of two meters and a head of seven inches suddenly appeared in his right hand.
Ning Tao recited a spell, threw out the gun, jumped onto the gun, and then waved a spell finger in front of him. The meat gun activated and flew forward close to the bottom of the lake.
Whether a gun in the flesh can fly in the water is actually a question that requires no thought because the answer is already available. On the moon, the flesh gun can fly in the void where there is nothing, so it will naturally be no problem to fly in the water-proof space supported by the Tianbao robe.
However, the gun in the flesh flies in the water, and Tianbao's robes play a vital role. The shot in the flesh did not come into contact with the water. It was Tianbao's robe that separated the water and moved it forward. As a result, the speed of flying in the water is very slow, and the speed of a car on the road is about 100 kilometers per hour.
Getting closer and closer to the location he left before, Ning Tao also discovered that the closer he got to the center of the lake, the deeper the water became. The bottom of the lake was actually in the shape of a huge funnel.
Ning Tao suddenly thought about it: "By the way, I searched Huangshi Lake before, and it said that Huangshi Lake is actually a volcanic crater. Isn't the bottom of the lake just a volcanic crater?"
Vaguely, he seemed to have thought of something, or touched something, but it was just a vague feeling, fleeting, and even he himself couldn't figure out what it was.
Soon, the small island returned to his sight, but it was not the part above the water, but the part buried in the water. He stopped when he could see Kojima's lower body, blocked all the breath on his body, awakened the sight and smell states of his eyes and nose, and hid behind a rock to observe secretly.
He saw an underwater cave, and there was faint light seeping out of the hole. Although no one was seen moving, the light already explained the problem. The new headquarters of Blackfire Company is in the mountain of that island.
He took another look at the environment around the island and around him.
He found that there was a deep ditch at the bottom of the lake about one kilometer wide between his location and the island. The land that the small island extends is not connected to the land at the bottom of the lake where he is, and a lake bottom canyon is formed between the two.
He then moved his gaze to the lake bottom canyon diagonally below his body, but he couldn't see the bottom of the lake at a glance. He didn't know how deep the lake bottom canyon was.
With a thought in his mind, he put away the meat gun and walked down cautiously. The terrain became steeper as he went down, and after about a few hundred meters there was no way to go. In front of him was a vertical cliff, and on the opposite side was another vertical cliff. The abyss under the two cliffs was bottomless.
However, he did not see the bottom of the lake, but he captured a ball of green aura. The group of spiritual energy was looming in the depths of the underwater abyss, and this discovery made him excited.
He grabbed onto the edges and cracks of the rock on the cliff and climbed down. After going down a few hundred meters, he finally saw the source of the aura.
It was a nine-masted sailboat, and its black sails made it easy to identify it. It was the ghost ship that ranked fifth on the list of the top ten vicious magical weapons.
Finally found it, it is indeed at the bottom of the lake!
