The patrolling soldier sped along the way, making many turns and turns. About ten minutes later, he arrived at a spacious and deep underground square.
Deep in the underground square, there was a closed, towering stone door. Two rows of guards were standing guard outside the stone door.
"What's going on?"
The patrolling soldier slowly approached the stone door and looked around in confusion. Her Majesty had said that the captain and the others were here. Why were there only guards here?
"Stop!"
The two rows of guards outside the stone door raised their weapons and stared coldly at the patrolling soldier. "Who are you? Why are you here? "
"It's Her Majesty …"
The patrolling soldier was about to explain when he felt a pain in the back of his head. He instantly fainted.
Cold Wind appeared from the air. Before the guards could react, he immediately flashed to the front of the stone door and knocked them out one by one with lightning speed. Then Cold Wind created a shadow clone to watch over them, while he pushed open the blue stone door.
The moment the stone door opened, a beam of strange purple light instantly penetrated through the crack of the door, illuminating the deep underground square purple.
Cold Wind narrowed his eyes. He squeezed through the gap and immediately closed the stone door.
Behind the stone door was a huge round hole surrounded by ring-shaped buildings. It should have been built by the previous queen of Ancient Loulan.
Cold Wind walked forward and came to the edge of the hole. He looked down. The purple light was like a bright gem, so bright that Cold Wind couldn't open his eyes.
After he got used to it, he realized that there was a strange flowing liquid under the purple light.
This liquid was somewhat similar to magma, but it was purple in color. Upon closer inspection, one could even see black mixed within. If one looked at it for too long, it would seem as if it could swallow one's vision. It was like the entrance to hell.
"Is this the Dragon Vein?"
Cold Wind suppressed the throbbing in his heart and looked up at the center of the Dragon Vein. There was a platform similar to a sacrificial platform, connected to the circular buildings around the round hole by a long and narrow corridor. It was exactly the same as in his memory.
Cold Wind walked along the corridor and arrived at the platform in the purple light.
There were four terracotta figures at the four corners of the platform. There were runes at the feet of the terracotta figures that extended all the way to the center of the platform. There was a circular protrusion that looked like an eyeball.
Cold Wind looked around and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Next, it was time to harvest.
Cold Wind walked to the edge of the platform and looked down at the slowly flowing purple-black liquid. His heart palpitated, and at the same time, he had the impulse to jump down.
Cold Wind shook his head to get rid of this terrifying thought. He then took a deep breath and cast Harvest.
The green ball of light in his mind began to churn.
Cold Wind was overjoyed. He was most worried that the Dragon Vein could not be harvested. If that was the case, he would not be able to do anything. Fortunately, the Harvest skill did not disappoint him!
As the green light surged, the liquid in the dragon vein below also gradually surged, slapping against the circular wall like a tide. The violent energy shook the underground plaza through the circular wall, and the entire ground seemed to tremble.
On the ground, the celebrating crowd suddenly shook, and panicked shouts rose and fell one after another.
The Loulan Queen, Sarah, almost fell from the tower. Fortunately, the guards behind her pulled her back in time.
"What's going on?"
Sarah steadied herself and felt the tower tremble under her feet. Her expression changed instantly. "The Dragon Vein, the Dragon Vein has gone berserk!"
She did not have time to think. She immediately left the tower with a few ministers and all the guards, took the elevator to the underground, and ran straight to the plaza where the Dragon Vein was.
"This is quite a commotion."
Cold Wind's shadow doppelganger was guarding outside the bluestone door. Hearing the approaching footsteps, it dispelled itself neatly.
When Queen Sarah, a few ministers, and a large number of guards arrived at the green stone door, they saw two rows of guards on the ground.
"Everyone …" Sarah's expression became worse.
"Did someone sneak into the hall where the Dragon Vein is?"
"Is the other party trying to steal the Dragon Vein?"
"Who is it?"
"Everyone, don't worry. Only the Queen can control the Dragon Vein. Even if someone enters, they can't steal the Dragon Vein!"
Several ministers turned to look at Sarah and advised, "Your Majesty, please leave this place quickly. It would be bad if the other party kidnapped you!"
Sarah shook her head and said with determination, "No, no matter who is behind the door, I have to calm the Dragon Vein first!"
She then took a step forward and pushed the door open.
…
When Cold Wind's shadow clone dismissed himself, Cold Wind, who was on the sacrificial platform, had just finished collecting the Dragon Vein. Furthermore, it was Soul Imprint!
Near the green light in his mind, there was a hazy purplish-black band of light that looked like a nebula!
The power of the Dragon Vein!
Cold Wind used his consciousness to come in contact with it. Instantly, he felt as if his spirit had fallen into a sea of Chakra, and he had an illusion that he was drowning.
Before he could comprehend it carefully, the green stone door of the hall was slowly pushed open.
Cold Wind hurriedly activated his Penetration Stealth, and then he saw Queen Sarah rush in with her ministers and guards.
'What a pity. I've already collected the Dragon Vein.'
Cold Wind smiled faintly in his heart. However, he soon realized that something was wrong. The surrounding circular buildings were still reflecting the purple light. He quickly poked his head out from the sacrificial platform and realized that the purplish-black liquid underground was still rippling. It seemed that nothing had changed!
'What's going on?
I've already collected the Dragon Vein! '
Cold Wind's expression changed slightly. He then used his consciousness to wrap around the hazy purplish-black nebula: the power of the Dragon Vein.
It was the power of the Dragon Vein, not the Dragon Vein.
At this moment, Cold Wind recalled the Nine Tails incident in the original work.
In the Nine Tails incident, Kazuma of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas had collected the scattered Chakra of the Nine Tails and sealed it into his son, Sky. This allowed Sky to obtain the power of the Nine Tails and become a pirated version of the Nine Tails, Column Force.
Cold Wind's current situation should be the same. He collected the majestic Chakra from the Dragon Vein, but it was only a part of the Dragon Vein, so it could only be called the power of the Dragon Vein.
If this is the case, can he collect it again?
…
Outside the gate, Sarah and a few other ministers looked around after they came in. The slightly trembling circular building reflected the flickering purple light, but there was not a single person in sight!
The guards behind her were very conscious of surrounding the circular buildings.
"No one?"
"Maybe the other party is a ninja, invisible!"
"Ninja? Is it a ninja from the Hidden Sand Village? They are at war, and it is very likely that they are coveting the Dragon Vein of our country! "
The ministers discussed among themselves, but Sarah ignored them. She walked along the long and narrow corridor to the sacrificial platform. Then, she knelt on the protruding object in the middle of the runes and prayed silently with her hands flat on the ground. After a while, the violent underground dragon vein gradually calmed down.
What is the principle of this?
Cold Wind, who was invisible, looked at Queen Sarah inexplicably. She didn't use Chakra at all. How did she calm down the Dragon Vein?
Is it because she is the Queen?
Or is it because of the power of the bloodline?
"It's okay."
After calming down the Dragon Vein, Sarah got up and gently breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, she didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but she felt that someone was looking at her. She turned her head and there was only a terracotta in that direction.
Illusion?
Or an invisible ninja?
Sarah's muscles tightened and she turned around and walked back along the narrow corridor step by step.
If there is really a ninja hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, what should I do?
Queen Sarah was frightened, but she didn't show it on her face. She safely returned to the green stone door and met with the ministers and the guards. She took a long breath and said: "Everyone, it's okay now."
"Queen, what should we do next?"
"Should we search the underground square thoroughly?"
"I think it's better to completely block this place first."
The ministers chimed in one after another, their voices echoing in the sealed hall.
Sarah frowned and pondered for a while. After a while, her eyes lit up and said: "No, no need to block it! Not only do we not need to block it, but we also need to keep this green stone door open! "
"Queen, what do you mean?" The ministers didn't understand.
If there is really a ninja coveting the Dragon Vein, then if this green stone door is open, won't the ninja be able to come in and out as he wants?
Sarah smiled confidently and said: "It's very simple. Because of the terrain, the outside of the hall is a square square, and the inside of the hall is a circular building. As long as the guards stand in the square and the circular shape, even if the other party is a ninja, they won't be able to kill all the guards inside and outside in an instant!"
The minister suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. In this way, as long as the ninja appears, they will definitely be exposed."
Queen Sarah nodded: "Yes, that's right!"
"Queen Sarah is indeed worthy!"
"The Queen's wisdom is far beyond what we can compare."
Amidst the flattery, Queen Sarah's smile widened. She said, "When the fainted guard wakes up, you can ask him what happened and report to me later."
"Yes!"
Not long after, the guards came down from the elevators of the various towers and quickly stood along the walls of the hall, forming a human wall that was circular on the inside and square on the outside.
