The passageway was very deep. The light on the walls flowed, and the air seemed to distort.
As the group moved through the passageway, they felt an inexplicable pressure. It was a sense of fear as if there was a blade on their backs.
"Have the mechanisms and defensive measures really been removed?"
A middle-aged man muttered. His eyes were bright, and he had a domineering presence. This was a realm five fighter.
But even a realm five fighter felt a bit of fear when moving through the passageway.
"All removed. This place does not lead to the Dragon Treasury, just the passageway outside. "
The leader opened a letter and flipped through it. It was about the various mechanisms of the Dragon Treasury.
This letter had been left behind by the machinists who had built the Dragon Treasury. The records were very detailed.
The reason the presence in this passageway was so strange was because of the Dragon Race patterns carved on it.
"The ancient Dragon Race patterns have mysterious power. These patterns are also …"
Someone in the group frowned and spoke of some of the secrets he knew. The powerful races of the Dark Age all possessed mysterious patterns.
It had always been an unsolved mystery as to why these patterns contained mysterious power.
Unfortunately, even the Dragon Race of the ancient era could rarely decipher the secrets of the patterns, much less the current Dragon Race.
Most of the techniques related to patterns had been lost, and only a few works were left.
For example, the [Sea Dragon Set] that the commander of the garrison was equipped with had Dragon Race patterns carved on it. This was a masterpiece.
According to the list in the letter, there were similar treasures stored in the Dragon Clan's treasure vault.
For realm four and five fighters, this was what they were interested in. Its value was far above wealth and treasures.
Moments later, the group came to the end of the passageway. There was a door there, and there was a pattern of a dragon claw on the door.
The dragon claw was lifelike and gave off a heart-palpitating presence. The group looked at it, and their eyes hurt.
The leader had a serious expression as he flipped through the letter. This door had not been forged by the machinists, but by the powerful fighters of the Dragon Race.
"Don't go near. The defensive measures on this door were set by the Dragon Race. Once activated, it will be equivalent to a realm seven fighter's dragon breath attack. "
The large man waved his hand and motioned for the group to not move.
Shua!
Everyone took a few steps back. There was no need for the leader to remind them. The dragon breath attack of a level-seven elite was not a joke.
Even a realm seven elite of the same level would not dare to face such an attack head-on.
"Let's wait a little longer …"
Calculating the time, he waited for fifteen minutes before he heard a faint sound coming from the other side of the door.
Only then did the burly man heave a sigh of relief. According to the records in the letter, the mechanical defense system of the treasury had already been removed.
"The next step is to look for the channel opened by the Mechanics …"
Flipping through the letter, he walked to the wall on the left and carefully felt around. Then, his arm suddenly sped up and turned into a series of afterimages. Almost at the same time, he hit different parts of the wall.
Whoosh …
At the same time, the burly man exhaled, and a white flame-like breath sprayed on the wall.
A wave of energy swept out, and holes appeared on the wall one after another. They were neatly arranged in a strange order.
Everyone was shocked, and they looked at the burly man with fear. It wasn't because he had blasted a hole in the wall.
The stone material of the wall was precious, and its defense was extremely strong, but a level-four elite was enough to leave a mark.
The key was that the energy that the burly man had just spat out was Heart Yuan Flame. That was a sign of level-five level-nine, and the power was extremely pure.
Just this move alone meant that among the level-five elites present, there were not many who could beat the burly man.
"An elite secretly trained by the Cosen Family?"
Someone thought, paying attention to this burly man. The Five Great Families all secretly trained their armed forces, but it was difficult to know each other's details.
The burly man's move attracted the attention of others, and he was put on the list of key people to watch.
Bang!
The burly man took the letter and slammed it on the wall. A mechanical device popped out. Light flashed and converged to form a disk of light. There were countless Heart Yuan codes on it.
"This is the first time I've seen such a Heart Yuan Code Lock …"
Looking at this disk of light, the eyes of the Mechanics present lit up, and they wanted to investigate it.
"There's no time."
The burly man said, and began to unlock it according to the order in the letter. His speed was very fast, and his arms moved like they were flying. In a few breaths, he had completed the unlock.
Ka ka ka …
The sound of gears crisscrossing could be heard, and the wall on the right suddenly blurred. It actually began to become transparent, and then a faint light shone out, enveloping everyone.
In the next moment, the group disappeared, and when they reappeared, they were already in a large hall.
Around the hall, there were statues, all of them of the Dragon Race.
These statues were covered with patterns, and a powerful aura was emitted from them, forming the shadow of a dragon's claw that pressed against the door of the hall.
Judging from the position, that door was the entrance to the passage. If they did not know what was going on, then the consequences might be more serious than what the burly man had said.
In front of each Dragon Race statue, there were large boxes of different sizes, all made of alloy. The small ones were half a meter high, and the big ones were more than three meters high.
Some of the boxes were not closed tightly, and a golden light shone out from them. Those were all gold bricks.
Gold bricks with strange patterns on them!
The members of the three Great Families present all recognized this pattern. It was the insignia of the Dragon Race Army.
Originally, Davo Gold City was the base of the Dragon Race Army of the Eastern Continent. At its peak, it had military strength comparable to any strong country.
Because of the nature of the Dragon Race, the Dragon Race Army had plundered a large amount of wealth, and all the gold bricks were engraved with this pattern.
"Just these gold bricks alone …"
Everyone's eyes lit up. With their status and strength, they did not lack money, and usually, they were very resistant to gold.
However, there were at least 100 big boxes of gold bricks here. Including the value of the gold bricks, just these alone were worth a lot of money.
Other than the gold bricks, there were also boxes of precious metals, many of which were extinct materials.
More importantly, there were six three-meter-tall boxes in the middle of the room. They were filled with terrifying energy fluctuations.
Without a doubt, these six big boxes contained the Dragon Race's Heart Element Equipment.
Ding …
The data appeared on the detector, and everyone's eyes lit up. It showed that the Heart Element Equipment in the six boxes were all five-star Dragon Race Equipment.
"Six pieces of Dragon Race Equipment, just right …"
The burly man looked around and nodded in secret. Coincidentally, the six Great Families participated in this, so it would not be difficult to divide the spoils.
Then, the burly man waved his hand and grinned excitedly. "Break the defense measures here, and quickly transport these things away. We must be fast!"
"We still have two hours. Hurry up, don't wait for the garrison army commander to come back …"
The group smiled. Not to mention two hours, as long as the defense measures here were lifted, they would only need half an hour to empty this place.
In order to be safe, all the Great Families had sent out their hidden trump cards, and let the Fifth Realm powerhouses act as porters.
These boxes were given to the Fifth Realm powerhouses, and they could carry two at a time. After a few trips, they would be empty …
Suddenly, the light around them flickered. Everyone was stunned and immediately became alert.
"Be careful …"
The burly man in the lead shouted. As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound rang out.
Beams of dim light appeared in the hall and flew out quickly, bringing with them a strange chanting sound.
Everyone present took out their close-range weapons and slashed at the beams of dim light. Clanging sounds of collisions could be heard.
At this moment, people discovered that these dim lights were insects the size of half a fist. Their bodies shone with a strange light, and their shells were like metal.
"Western Continent's Devouring Beetles!"
Someone's expression suddenly changed as he recognized the origin of these insects. This was a terrifying biological weapon of the Western Continent.
Like its name, Devouring Beetles could eat through alloys. They were a type of mutated beetle.
The original form of this beetle came from the Western Continent. It was a type of mutated beetle through artificial hybridization and the implantation of mechanical devices.
They were extremely fast, and they could accept the orders of their domesticators. They had a certain level of intelligence, and their temperament was fierce and extremely terrifying.
Any expert below the fourth realm would avoid the [Devouring Beetles] like they were afraid of them.
Ding ding ding …
Swords and sabers flashed. No one dared to use long-range weapons here, for fear of accidentally injuring their teammates and triggering the Dragon Race's mechanism.
He could only fight with close combat weapons. When the four-star weapon slashed on the body of the [Devouring Beetle], he had to use all his strength to cut open a wound. However, a dark green liquid spurted out, and when it touched his body, it immediately corroded.
"Damn bugs …"
The injured people screamed and quickly retreated. They took out antidotes and healing potions for first aid.
The blood of Devouring Beetles was extremely corrosive and had a paralyzing poison. If left untreated, they would quickly lose their combat ability.
Seeing this, everyone roared in unison. Their eyes were red, and they were extremely angry.
It was no wonder that they were furious. They had worked so hard to plan, but someone else had taken advantage of them. How could they not be angry?
Cutting off one's path to wealth was like killing one's parents. Moreover, it was such a shocking amount of wealth. That was equivalent to killing many people's parents …
"Rush out and get rid of these guys first …" The leader of the group growled.
At this moment, a number of figures flew over and locked onto the crowd. Waves of powerful aura swept over.
Realm Six powerhouses?!
The leader and the others felt their scalps go numb. There were at least two Realm Six powerhouses among these figures. The aura they exuded was like a mountain, firmly suppressing them.
Bang bang bang …
There was a muffled sound. The air seemed to be torn apart, and many people were sent flying.
Several powerhouses from the Colsen Family and Hainey Family spat out blood. Facing two Realm Six powerhouses, their advantage in numbers was no longer useful.
At this moment, the crowd finally saw these figures clearly. They were all wearing long robes that covered their bodies so tightly that it was impossible to tell where they came from.
"Unknown people … You want to dip your hands into the treasury? If you take these treasures, can you transport them away?!"
The leader of the group raised his eyebrows. His eyes were fierce, but he made a prompt decision. "How about this, these treasures will be counted as a share of yours, and we will help transport them away together!"
"Haha … the Five Great Families of Davo City are indeed powerful. They even have such people among their hidden forces."
A voice sounded, full of laziness. "Your suggestion is not bad, but you also know that this is Davo City. The Five Great Families are equivalent to covering the sky here. Even if we agree, after we leave, if you turn on us, we can't do anything about it. So … "
The words paused, and the voice was cold. "It is best for you to die here. That is the best for us."
Boom!
Suddenly, the two mysterious Realm Six powerhouses roared in unison. Violent power surged out of their bodies, stacked together, and rushed forward like a storm.
The people of the various forces were shocked. It was one thing for these mysterious interceptors to have Realm Six powerhouses.
But these two Realm Six powerhouses were also proficient in joint attacks. This was too dangerous …
The violent energy raged, and the entire hall trembled as if it was about to collapse from the impact.
The Dragon Clan statues shook slightly, releasing circles of protective shields that limited the power in the hall to a certain area.
This was the Dragon Clan's defensive measure, and it would only lose its effect in half a month …
Seeing this, the mysterious interceptors who came later were slightly wary. They were worried that they would trigger the traps here, and did not dare to use large-scale combat skills.
Even so, the joint attack of two Realm Six powerhouses was still earth-shattering.
In an instant, the people of the various forces were sent flying. Blood spurted out of their orifices and bodies, dyeing the floor of the hall red.
…
On the other side.
On Dragon Lake Island, in the convoy outside the manor, a large hover car shook and suddenly opened. A cloud of smoke exploded, and in a few breaths, the smoke enveloped the entire island in the middle of the lake.
The people guarding outside were caught off guard. They did not even have time to react before they fell to the ground.
"Haha … these little bastards are no good! They can't even put up the slightest resistance … "
Old Aidan appeared and looked around, shaking his head and laughing. He was very disdainful of the power of the five clans.
The other elders also appeared. They had been following these people since a few days ago, but no one had found any traces of them.
Beep beep …
Images were transmitted from the goggles. They were scenes of the battle in the Dragon Clan's treasury.
"Mr. Bnehamin, shall we act now?"
Old Aidan, Man Xi, and the others exchanged glances. They were actually not concerned about whether the Dragon Clan's treasury was robbed or not.
What they wanted to protect was the Redbud Treasury beneath the Dragon Clan's treasury.
Of course, this was their secret, and it could not be leaked.
Old Aidan was very polite to this young mechanic. In just a few days, this "Bnehamin" had displayed enough outstanding talent to obtain the recognition of these old fellows.
Old Aidan was also very cautious. He felt that Bnehamin was more shrewd than expected. He was very careful when dealing with him, and could not reveal any flaws.
"There's no need to be so hasty …"
Hayashi River's voice sounded in the earpiece. "Mr. Old Aidan, release those mechanical devices first. There's a Realm Six powerhouse inside, so there's no need to rush over first."
Old Aidan and the others had no objections. They took out disks and placed them on the ground. After activating them, there was a flash of light, and a disk turned into dozens of mechanical pythons.
In an instant, thousands of mechanical pythons slithered around, their bodies flashing with electromagnetic light waves as they sped toward the ancient manor.
"Are these mechanical pythons useful?"
Man Xi was a little doubtful. He was a conservative who advocated force, so he always had some doubts about the use of these mechanical devices.
In the transmitted images, these mechanical pythons could be seen moving at lightning speed, but they did not rush into the manor house. Instead, they gathered outside the door.
The mechanical pythons entangled together to form a ball.
On the ball, the mechanical pythons slithered, their eyes flashing with red light. This scene was horrifying no matter how one looked at it.
In the garrison base's surveillance room, Hayashi River looked at the image on the screen and murmured, "It's about time …"
Then, he pressed a button and detonated it remotely.
"Rumble …"
The ball exploded, but it was not a very powerful explosion. Instead, it turned into a stream of electromagnetic pulses, like countless electric snakes, rushing into the manor house and annihilating the rooms inside. Then, as if they were attracted by some kind of suction force, they surged toward the underground passageway.
In an instant, the light in the passageway flickered, and an ear-piercing alarm sounded in the hall of the treasure vault.
One by one, the dragon statues began to vibrate, releasing waves of powerful energy fluctuations, indiscriminately attacking the intruders around them.
"What's going on?!"
"Why did they trigger the mechanism here!!"
"This is impossible … There are so many people on guard outside …"
The two groups of people in front and behind exclaimed in unison. They were horrified to see that the dragon statues seemed to have come to life.
The heads of these statues began to turn, and the statues began to spit flames from their mouths. Like a volcanic eruption, the flames surged toward the surroundings of the hall.
"This is the dragon breath of the dragon race, retreat …"
Someone yelled, but it was already too late. His body was engulfed by the flames, and the four-star heart energy protective suit only lasted for five seconds before it was burned through and turned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Rumble …"
In an instant, the entire hall was enveloped by the dragon breath. The two groups of people in front and behind desperately rushed toward the passageway, fleeing for their lives.
This scene was transmitted to Old Aidan and the others through a projection. These old fellows were dumbfounded. These mechanical pythons were actually so effective.
"Powerful Mechanics are really annoying …" Old Aidan muttered, touching a scar on his left arm.
That was when he was young, he had been injured by a powerful combat Mechanic. Even now, the scar still hurt faintly.
The other old fellows' expressions also changed, and their evaluation of this young Mechanic instantly increased by another level.
"This little guy, we can have a long-term relationship with him in the future …" Man Xi muttered softly.
The old fellows nodded, then with a sway of their bodies, they floated into the air one after another, looking down at this ancient manor from above.
The next moment, figures rushed out of the ancient manor one after another, exclaiming one after another. They saw that the surroundings of the island were filled with fog, and even the senses of Realm Six powerhouses were actually restricted.
"There's a third group of people …" someone shouted.
Suddenly, the two groups of people who had just escaped felt their bodies tremble. A terrifying aura came from the sky, smashing toward them like a mountain.
The two groups of people who had just escaped were caught off guard. Those below Realm Five were smashed into pieces, and their bones were crushed. Blood spurted everywhere, and they all collapsed to the ground like mud.
These people were both aggrieved and terrified. Being crushed by such a terrifying aura, they did not even have the ability to raise their heads to see who had attacked them.
The powerhouses above Realm Five flew forward. They knew that they had encountered a terrifying enemy, and escaping this place at this time was the best choice.
"Hehe … Since you're here, why are you in such a hurry to leave … Everyone is here for money. Sit down and have a good talk, and let's split the loot …"
Old Aidan chuckled, looking like a friendly old man. He extended his withered claw-like hand and grabbed forward, and the power of Realm Six gushed out like a hurricane.
