Ding ding ding …
On the screen above the metal cabinet, the cursor was locked onto the position of the hole in the middle of the valley …
At the same time, a sound came from the metal cabinet. The empty shell of the [Earth King Equipment] was vibrating, as though it was reacting to some sort of power in the hole.
"I can't be wrong! This is where the door is … "
Shi Hulie looked at the situation and said with certainty. After so many years, he had a rough idea of the location of the Sealed Door.
The only troublesome thing was that he did not have the [Earth King Equipment], so he could not determine the exact location.
The [Earth King Equipment] was not only the key to open the Sealed Door, but it could also determine the location.
Of course, Shi Hulie had read through the ancient books that most keys to the Sealed Door had such a function …
Looking ahead, Shi Hulie was not in a hurry to act. He first sent people to investigate the surroundings to see if there were any suspicious people.
After a round of investigation, they did not find any traces of an unknown team. Shi Hulie was still worried, and personally investigated the area again before he relaxed.
Then, Shi Hulie took the lead and came to the center of the valley, not far from the hole.
"Next, it's up to you …"
Shi Hulie looked at the team, and saw a tall figure draped in a cloak. The latter lifted the cloak, and surprisingly, it was a Centaur.
To be more precise, he was a mixed-blood Centaur, a mixed-blood between the Human Race and the Centaur Race. His ears were like those of the Human Race, and the hair on his body was not as luxuriant as that of the Centaur Race.
"Old Mister Hu Lie, don't worry. You saved my family, so my life is yours."
The mixed-blood Centaur said in a low voice, then took out a reagent and injected it into his body.
Instantly, the mixed-blood Centaur's body began to change. Rock patterns appeared on the surface of his body, and continuously gathered towards his back, forming the image of a rock pattern dagger.
This image was exactly the same as the one on Bayun's body, and was even clearer …
Ding ding ding …
The accompanying personnel at the side were examining the body of the mixed-blood Centaur. Looking at the data, they nodded at Shi Hulie, indicating that they would soon begin.
"Alright …"
Shi Hulie revealed a smile. This medicine could only be absorbed by those with the bloodline of the Centaur Race. After injecting it, they could temporarily activate the [Earth King Equipment].
Of course, this medicine had a huge side effect. After using it once, the user would basically be crippled.
"Hurry, put on the [Earth King Equipment] for me!?"
The mixed blood Centaur Race man roared, the veins on his body bulging and his body dripping with blood sweat. The breath coming out of his mouth and nose was steaming hot, as if his body was burning.
Shi Hulie shouted, "Hurry up! Open the metal cabinet and equip him with the [Earth King Equipment]! "
Ka-cha!
The metal cabinet opened, and the [Earth King Equipment] leapt out uncontrollably. Its upper body opened, producing a suction force that sucked the mixed-blood centaur male inside.
Seeing this, Shi Hulie shouted, "Don't worry, after you die, your family, including their descendants, will not have to worry about food and clothing for ten lifetimes!"
Bang …
In response to Shi Hulie, the [Earth King Gear] let out a whistle and rushed into the pit.
Moments later, a rumbling sound came from inside, as if some kind of door had been opened. Then, the mixed blood Centaur Race man let out a miserable scream …
In the valley, Shi Di looked at Shi Hulie, but the latter did not move and stood there silently.
After a while, a whistling sound came from the pit, and a group of blue hazy things flew out, flying towards the top of the valley.
These were actually blue flying snakes. Each of them was only the size of a palm and had membranous wings. They rushed out in groups, and their bodies exuded a strong freezing aura. As they flew through the air, they left behind a thick icy mist.
Among them, several blue flying snakes flew over, pouncing towards the Shi Family team. Shi Hulie flicked his fingers, piercing the heads of the flying snakes with a green finger energy.
Seeing this scene, the group of Blue Scaled Flying Snakes had originally turned their heads and were ready to pounce over to hunt, but seeing how powerful Shi Hulie was, they immediately turned their heads and rushed out of the valley without looking back, disappearing into the boundless snowstorm.
"These blue flying snakes are quite intelligent …"
Shi Di's eyes widened. He saw a trace of cunning in the eyes of these blue flying snakes.
Moreover, after witnessing the power of their ancestor, they immediately flew away without looking back. This kind of snake was truly terrifying.
"These are not ordinary snakes. They are a species from the Sealed Domain, and are related to the legendary species by blood …"
As Shi Hulie said this, he ordered the team to move, set up the equipment, and sneak into the pit.
The pit was very quiet, and the tunnel was very long. They did not know where the mixed blood Centaur Race man had fled to with the [Earth King Equipment].
Ding ding ding …
The light on the screen flashed. It was the location of the [Earth King Equipment]. The Shi Family team moved quickly, and did not meet any obstacles along the way. Soon, they reached the end of the pit.
There was a cave entrance there, and light shone from within. The cave entrance was covered with strange transparent silk, forming a barrier.
In the center of the barrier, there was a hole, and from the looks of it, it had just been smashed open …
Behind the barrier, the [Earth King Equipment] leaned against the wall, fresh blood seeping out …
Opening the [Earth King Equipment], there was a broken corpse inside. It was no longer humanoid, and from the clothes, one could only judge that it was a mixed blood Centaur Race man.
"Clean the [Earth King Equipment], it will still be useful after we enter …"
As Shi Hulie instructed, he did not even look at the corpse of the mixed blood Centaur Race man.
The team rushed into the cave. Before entering, Shi Hulie tried to seal the cave entrance, but found it difficult to do so. He could only quickly set up some traps, and then quickly leave.
…
Peace returned to the pit. Another half an hour passed …
The team led by Depp sped over, and when they saw the situation at the cave entrance, their expressions changed.
"Shi Hulie, that old bastard, got ahead of us …"
Depp's face darkened, and he looked angrily at the back, at Zhong Wang Si, who was being carried by two guards of the Zhong Family. If not for this fellow's unstable condition, they would have arrived first.
The journey to the Extreme North was not much faster by land than by water. With Depp and the team rushing at full speed, they should be able to reach this valley together with the Shi Family.
But along the way, Zhong Wang Si's condition was very strange. He was in a daze, and often fell asleep while discussing the contents of the plan.
Once or twice, Depp understood that something was wrong. He could only spare some time to treat Zhong Wang Si, and that was why there was a delay.
"Have we arrived? Old Mister Depp, we'll have to rely on you in the future … "
Zhong Wang Si mumbled with sleepy eyes, and cupped his hands in thanks. "After this is done, the Zhong Family will definitely satisfy all of Mister Depp's requests!"
Hmph … You only know how to say nice things, but you're actually treating me like a nanny?!
Hearing this, Depp's face darkened. If not for the fact that he had to bring Zhong Wang Si along, the experts of the Zhong Family would only listen to his orders, and he would have long killed Zhong Wang Si with a slap.
After removing the traps at the cave entrance, Depp led the team of experts into the door, and disappeared …
…
Not long after …
Another troop appeared. It was the elite troop led by Gong Bie Qian and the Third Prince Men Te. The group of people inspected the vicinity of the cave entrance and guessed the general situation. Their expressions changed, and they didn't hesitate any longer. They rushed into the cave entrance.
After that, another hour passed —
A team of Wolf Cavalry appeared. Giant wolves were in the cave, and their figures seemed to be very crowded. The giant wolves sniffed carefully, and let out a howl. Then, they all rushed into the cave entrance, and disappeared.
…
After that, a long time passed …
Hayashi River and his team had just appeared, but they were not in a hurry to enter the cave. Instead, they wandered around the cave, and mechanical bees flew out one after another. Some flew into the cave entrance, while others flew in other directions …
Beep, beep, beep …
On the light screen, the topographic map of the cave gradually appeared. As the mechanical bees went deeper, Hayashi River and his team suddenly realized that this was not a tunnel.
This was a cobweb-like tunnel, and only this tunnel led to the valley.
There were similar caves in other places …
"There's more than one entrance to the Sealed Domain?" Bayun asked in shock.
Mossy Bone shook his head. To be precise, these caves were all entrances to the Sealed Domain. It could also be said that there should have been only one entrance.
"The entrance to the Sealed Domain was once the territory of a powerful tribe. How could it be so secretive? Can a country's national gate be buried underground?"
Mossy Bone pointed at the light screen and drew out an area. "This entrance to the Sealed Domain should be ten times the size of this area. This is the size of a small Sealed Domain Portal …"
Listening to Mossy Bone's description, Bayun, Darkhorn, and the others were stunned. This was indeed the first time they had heard of this.
Hayashi River looked at the cave entrance, and said, "The [Earth King Equipment] is only used to locate this place. Is there a way to open this cave?"
"Machine owner, of course not …"
The [Moon Core] answered Hayashi River. After the latter arrived here, its database had begun to be restored, and it had obtained some secret information.
The [Earth King Equipment] was the key to this Sealed Domain. Naturally, it could not only open the entrance, but also some hidden doors within the Sealed Domain …
As the former protector of this Sealed Domain, the Centaur Race had risen from this place, and naturally controlled some of the treasured resources in the Sealed Domain.
Shi Hulie had expended so many resources to restore the [Earth King Equipment] precisely because he understood this …
"Moreover, the Sealed Domain Portal does not necessarily have only one layer …" Mossy Bone suddenly laughed.
Hearing this, everyone was stunned, and immediately revealed looks of pleasant surprise. This meant that Shi Hulie and his group had most likely encountered some obstacles.
The group stopped for a while, and after inspecting the surrounding terrain, entered the cave entrance.
After a while — —
Suddenly, a loud noise came from one of the walls of the pit, as if something was rapidly approaching from underground.
Boom …
The wall opened, and Big Rat rushed out. He glanced at the newly excavated passageway, which was still emitting smoke, and chirped proudly.
"Only when you're full will you have the strength to dig a hole! This speed is more than twice as fast as when I was at the Phantom Flame Mine … "Big Rat muttered proudly.
At the side, Blue Kitty appeared, and stared at Big Rat with her beautiful little eyes. She had been waiting here all along for this pet, and did not follow her master in.
"Meow … I really don't want to go in …" Blue Kitty sighed inwardly as she stared at Big Rat.
