The passing army turned back again, with the purpose of replenishing supplies and taking a short rest. Yesterday, the civilian resistance forces were still enemies, but now they have become liberators and the masters of Baimao City. What do those who desperately want more get in the end? When the time comes, nothing can be taken away.
Living in the present is undoubtedly a positive and optimistic attitude towards life, and Yutaimei obviously has this mentality. As soon as the treasure house of Baimao City was opened, she flew in like a butterfly. Although the treasure house in Baimao City is not as good as the treasure house in Ice City, any box filled with coins and treasures is tempting for a money addict like her.
Xia Lei stood at the door and coughed.
Only then did Qian Taimei come to her senses. She turned around in a hurry and said, "Little man, come in."
Xia Lei followed and walked in.
Behind him, several guards looked at Qin Taimei eagerly, hoping to be treated like a "little man".
But Qian Taimei said: "You guys are guarding the door. No one can come in without my order!"
"Yes!" Several guards stood at attention and spoke. After all, Taimei was still their direct superior and they must obey.
Qin Taimei held Xia Lei's hand affectionately, "Little man, what do you like? I'll give it to you."
This hinted that Xia Lei understood. He cursed in his mind, "Are you too naive? I'm not the only one here."
Several guards guarding the door of the treasure house had different interpretations.
"I really feel bad for our Commander-in-Chief. He loves this woman so much, but now that the Commander-in-Chief's body is still cold, she has started hooking up with the pretty boy."
"Yeah, it's really shameless."
"Keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard by her. If she hears it, she will definitely take revenge on us."
"Hmph! I don't believe she can still shoot us!"
"That's right, we are telling the truth. Our Commander-in-Chief was killed just last night, and she hooked up with a new man today. Is this ridiculous?"
"Also, I really don't understand what's so good about that little man. Can he be as good as us?"
"Hehe, this little guy is good at martial arts."
"I think that little man's tongue can roll twice. Don't believe it. I saw him stick out his tongue. It's so long."
"That's it."
“…”
There was a murmur of confused discussion.
There was no way these sounds could escape Xia Lei's god-level hearing. He could hear everything clearly. The talk about the tongue made him so speechless that he even stuck it out to see if it was really that long. Of course it turned out not that long, he could only roll it in one circle. The results of this survey fully prove that if a man's words are reliable, sows will climb trees.
It was obvious that Taimei had also heard these random discussions, and a gray-black shyness soon appeared on her cheeks. She glanced back, ready to snap. Xia Lei touched her feet and signaled her to ignore him, and then she swallowed back her words of instruction.
The treasure house of Baimao City is very large, containing many bones of ancient creatures and even well-preserved flesh and blood. These things seem to have only collection value, but to Xia Lei, they have a greater value, which is to create life. To him, these biological materials are rare treasures that can only be found. "Hey, little man, there is actually a room there. Let's go see what's there." Qin Taimei took Xia Lei's hand and walked towards the room she found.
There is actually a room built in a treasure house, which is really strange. Xia Lei was also very curious, so he let Taimei drag him into the room.
The room was empty except for a box. The box was locked, and there was a seal written in the language of the Night's Watch: tribute, and death to those who break it without permission.
"A room doesn't even have a bed, it's true!" complained Taimei.
Xia Lei, "..."
"What's in the box?" Yu Taimei quickly accepted the reality. Compared with the "critical moments" she had endured during this period, this was actually nothing.
"Don't you know it when you open it?" Xia Lei said, not bothering to look through the box. The Master slid out and broke the box open with a single strike of his sword.
Inside the box is a box.
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment when he saw the box in the box.
There was only a piece of rune blood crystal the size of a cigarette box inside the huge box. The piece of rune blood crystal was different from all the rune blood crystals he had ever seen. The blood was filled with starry sky gray, as if it were splashed with blood. It's like a dyed starry sky, very magical.
Next to the rune blood crystal was a piece of fine paper, with an introduction written on it: This rune blood crystal is called Paradise, and it is the treasure of the legendary thief Three-Legged King Kong. It is rumored that there is a cave in this rune blood crystal, and the rare treasures stolen by Three-Legged King Kong are hidden during his lifetime. Weichen's ability is limited and cannot be opened. This is specially dedicated to the emperor. I am grateful to the emperor for everything he has given to me. The emperor is eternal! The empire is eternal!
Paradise? Xia Lei quickly returned to normal, and he was also curious in his heart, wanting to know what secrets and treasures were hidden in this strange rune blood crystal.
While Xia Lei was thinking, Qian Taimei simply reached out and grabbed the rune blood crystal in the box and picked it up. The size of a cigarette box and its thinner thickness, this piece of rune blood crystal is more like a handle carved in Warring States red. If it were ancient times on earth, if tied around the waist, it could be used as a jade pendant or something decorative.
Xia Lei did not stop Qin Taimei's reckless move, because he could not feel the rune blood crystal contained any special energy, so he concluded that Qin Taimei's move would not be dangerous. In fact, he hadn't even felt its energy until now. In terms of its appearance, energy properties and almost zero energy reserves, it is really similar to the Warring States Red on Earth and has no value.
But the more ordinary the appearance, the more curious Xia Lei was. If this "Ultimate Paradise" was worthless, would that guy Bai Hu dare to give it to the Black Sun Emperor first
This strange piece of rune blood crystal was given away after Bai Hu inherited his father's title and city lord, out of gratitude and to please the Black Sun Emperor to seek a greater future. The time when Bai Hu was preparing to send this rune blood crystal was also very sensitive. He or his think tank team considered that Baimao City might be lost, so they wanted to use the treasure to please the Black Sun Emperor. Such a strange treasure for such a sensitive period, it's certainly unusual!
"Taimei, have you ever heard of the legendary thief Three-legged King Kong?" Xia Lei asked casually. To unlock the secret of this strange rune blood crystal, understanding the Three-legged King Kong is obviously a good way.
"Why are you asking him?" Qin Taimei then looked away from the rune blood crystal. She looked at Xia Lei, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity.
Xia Lei pointed at the paper with the message in the box, "Why do you have such big eyes? You can only see treasures, but can't you see such a big piece of paper?"
Xin Taimei looked slightly embarrassed, and then she turned to look at the piece of paper with the message on it. When she saw it, she suddenly became excited, "Oh my god, this rune blood crystal is actually the ultimate weapon of the legendary thief Three-legged King Kong." Hey Paradise! I just thought it was a piece of rubbish rune blood crystal. I was also wondering why it was put in this box as a tribute... "
Xia Lei interrupted her, "Please tell me the key points."
Yu Taimei gave Xia Lei a coquettish eye roll, but still obeyed Xia Lei's wishes, "About 20,000 years ago, the Three-legged King Kong was a legendary figure. He was definitely the top in the industry of thieves, and no one could surpass him. It is said that there is no treasure that he can't steal. Except for the Black Sun Palace, which he cannot enter and steal, he can even enter the treasure houses of several kings."
Xia Lei couldn't help but be moved, "So he is really a very powerful thief."
"Not only is he good at stealing treasures, but he is also good at stealing... women." A shy blush appeared on Taimei's cheek, "It is said that all the women he stole from would be obsessed with him. During the period when his reputation was at its peak, some even Many ladies and ladies of the nobility hope that he will steal it, which is actually the origin of his nickname "Three-Legged King Kong."
Only then did Xia Lei understand the chill of that "three-legged" thing. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was so dull. He was so dull.
"It is said that he had a treasure, which was this rune blood crystal called Paradise. After his death, many people were looking for this rune blood crystal, including the royal family members of the empire. But no one could find it, but no one could find it. I thought of appearing here." Yu Taimei sighed and said: "How do you put it in your words? You meet Bao around the corner, right?"
Xia Lei couldn't help laughing, "It takes no effort to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere."
Taimei frowned and said, "Your language should be the most difficult language to learn in the universe." After complaining, she continued, "Legend has it that this rune blood crystal hides a magical space. Not only does it store the treasures that Tripod King Kong has stolen throughout his life, it itself is a rare two-dimensional space."
Xia Lei was stunned for a moment, "Two-dimensional space?"
Qian Taimei said: "Yes, that's what the legend is. I don't know if it's true, but if this news is released, I can guarantee that thieves from all walks of life will come to steal it."
Xia Lei was already excited, but what moved him was not the treasure that the legendary thief Tripod King Kong had stolen in his life, but the "second dimension". You must know that the City of the Sun is only a 1.5 micro-dimensional space, and it is not considered a different-dimensional space at all. And he has never seen a different-dimensional space. In addition to being curious about what the two-dimensional space looks like, he also has an intuition, that is, if this paradise really hides a two-dimensional space, then he will have a way to solve the problem in the future. The problem of leaving the dark world of death and being unable to bring his wife back to the opposite world!
If this problem cannot be solved and he has to leave, it will become an irreparable shortcoming in his life.
"Give it to me and I'll see if I can open it." Xia Lei said.
ps: Thanks to my friend Yao Xiansen for the tip, thank you!
