PFC Chapter 414 Following Behind as the Sixth Brother
Chapter 414 Following Behind as the Sixth Brother
"Japanese?" Sodong asked suspiciously, looking warily at the four people in front of him.
"Haha, no, no, no, I'm just a traitor to a fallen nation. Now you can call me your servant."
The man showed no intention of attacking Suo Dong, but spoke calmly.
"Oh, you Japanese, when have you ever been so kind?"
Sodong looked at the four people in front of him without any fear, and instead spoke to them with a mocking expression.
"If you can't open it by yourself, and neither can we, why don't we cooperate?"
The man in black spoke again.
Sodong glanced back at the massive stone gate, pondered for a moment, and finally nodded.
Because she knew that it wouldn't be long before Chu Chen would discover that she had disappeared.
She harbored a deep-seated fear of this man.
Seeing that Suo Dong agreed, the man in black waved his hand, and the three behind him immediately stepped forward and, together with Suo Dong, pushed up the stone door with all their might.
Immediately afterwards, the leader of the men in black also joined the group that opened the door.
Finally, with the efforts of the five people, the stone gate slowly moved and soon opened wide enough for one person to enter.
Suo Dong stood by the door crack and coldly said to the four people behind him, "Let's make it clear first, who owns the treasure."
"Alright, in that case, we only want that piece of wood inside. The token and the manual are yours!"
After hearing this, Suo Dong thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Actually, she had lied to Chu Chen before. According to the information they received, this secret realm was originally left behind by the Beast Taming Family.
Inside, there's more than just the piece of wood that summons mysterious power; there's also the token and the secret manual.
Little did they know, the token and the secret manual had already been obtained by the tiger breeder that Chu Chen had met, and then ended up in Chu Chen's hands.
For the piece of wood capable of summoning mysterious power, the token and the secret manual were the real purpose for her and her senior brother's long journey to the Great Xia Dynasty.
Her senior brother had already been killed by Chu Chen, so if she could obtain the token and the secret manual, it would be a way to give her master an explanation.
"Alright, I know what you Japanese are up to. You just want to use some mysterious power to attack Great Xia and get the so-called world you've always wanted."
"Since that's the case, then it's settled. If you want to back out, you'd better consider your own strength."
"Rest assured, Japan will certainly not dare to be an enemy of Luozhong Island."
After the five finished their discussion, Suo Dong darted ahead and instantly entered the stone gate.
Just as they entered, Chu Chen also arrived at the cavern.
Looking at the numerous footprints left by pushing open the stone gate, Chu Chen chuckled.
He muttered to himself, "A brain is a good thing, it's a pity you don't have one."
After saying that, he also slipped inside.
Once inside, the smell in the air suddenly changed; previously, there was a damp and musty smell outside.
Upon entering the stone gate, one could smell a faint, pleasant fragrance in the air.
Chu Chen thought to himself, "This must be the smell emanating from that legendary piece of wood."
Even if you obtain something that emits such a scent, it would take considerable effort to keep it.
After all, its unique smell is easily recognizable to anyone, and naturally, it becomes a target for attack.
As they went deeper, the flavors became increasingly intense, and Chu Chen was now pushing his speed to the limit.
So, about an incense stick later, Chu Chen saw the rapidly moving flames ahead.
There was also a smell of animal fat in the air.
"The fact that a fire can be lit in the cave means there's plenty of oxygen, so there must be other ventilation openings. Looks like we need to speed up and catch up with them."
Chu Chen sped up his pace and said leisurely.
You have to understand that once someone runs away, anything can happen.
Sodong and his companions, however, paid no attention to what was behind them, because they understood the situation.
The cave is a maze of passages, and without the scent of that piece of wood to guide you, no one could find the right path.
Once you get the item, you can simply head to another cave and instantly disappear from sight.
In such darkness, no one could see their movements clearly.
Therefore, as long as I am fast enough, I can shake off Chu Chen who might appear behind me.
Little did they know, at that moment, Chu Laoliu was wearing night vision goggles and following them at a leisurely pace.
Finally, the five people who were running stopped.
As the torchlight illuminated the scene, Sodong and his companions saw yet another stone gate.
Compared to the previous stone gate, this gate was noticeably smaller.
Above the stone gate, three large characters were written in clumsy handwriting: "Treasure Pavilion".
Seeing this, Sodong immediately turned around: "Hey, Japanese kid, do you still stand by what you said before?"
“Girl, we have different goals, so of course it counts.”
"Alright, in that case, send your men to open the door."
Sodong glanced at the three followers behind the man in black and said warily.
"Girl, if we each do half the work, why should my people open the door?"
"There are four of you, and I'm just a weak woman. It's not fair."
Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately had a "damn it" thought in his mind.
He thought to himself that the woman in front of him was really troublesome. If it weren't for the fact that even the four of them working together weren't completely confident, they would have killed her long ago.
I'm waiting for you to keep babbling on here.
So he nodded helplessly: "Alright, to save time, I can agree to your request, but you must understand that even if the four of us join forces, you won't gain any advantage."
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the three people behind him walked to the stone gate and pushed it with all their might.
Sodong and the leading man in black stood warily on either side of the stone gate.
After all, the Beast Taming Clan was a mysterious family with a illustrious reputation back then. If this so-called treasure pavilion had a deadly trap, it would be a great loss.
Just as they pushed open the door, Chu Chen stood thoughtfully in the dark corner behind them.
Thinking to myself that since someone else is doing these dirty and tiring jobs, I'll gladly accept it.
With the three of them exerting force, the stone door slowly turned.
To the surprise of Sodon and the leader of the men in black, the legendary trap did not appear.
What angered Suo Dong even more was that the three men in black had gotten into the treasure vault first.
Seeing this, Suo Dong quickly entered the stone, took a tinderbox from his waist, blew on it, and a flame lit up.
As the firelight illuminated the stone chamber, everyone was finally able to get a clear look at the entire chamber.
Inside the stone chamber, rows of shelves were arranged, and in the very center, an ancient jade box sat quietly.
A very strong fragrance emanated from the jade box, wafting towards the nostrils of the five people.
