872: C872 Underground Space

C872 Underground Space

Perhaps Ju Zhong didn't expect that someone would have planted a bomb in his old nest one day.

This made him feel like he had been violated.

Fortunately, it was time to get off work, so there was no one on the first and second floor. There were no casualties.

At this moment, he could tell how good it was to have a Spiritual Force.

After throwing himself downstairs, Zhou Yi threw out a few energies that were like water. The flames that were still running crazily fell to the marble floor under his feet.

The fire was extinguished in the blink of an eye by a few men.

Ju Zhong didn't have time to say anything and immediately ran towards the basement.

"Not bad!" Ju Zhong patted his chest. At least there were no problems in the basement.

After that, they went to the second floor and the first floor for inspection.

"There's no need to check. I smell demonic energy in this city. There should have been a demonic beast here before. They are here to cause trouble!"

Zhou Yi replied without hesitation.

"But the demons, under normal circumstances, would not be willing to use such a method to deal with humans!" One of the cultivators muttered to himself for a moment before slowly opening his mouth.

Hearing his words, Zhou Yi slowly turned his head and looked at him.

The moment the cultivator was stared at, he felt as if the surrounding air had become much thinner.

After a long while, just when that cultivator thought that he was going to suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen, Zhou Yi finally opened his mouth: "What do they want to find in the basement?"

"Basement?" Ju Zhong didn't know how to react for a moment.

"That's right, it's the basement. We haven't been thinking about why they ran away from the capital, nor have we left the capital directly, rather, we've been hiding there. I think they're definitely looking for something important, and from what we've seen today, this thing should be in the basement."

Zhou Yi explained.

"Then let's hurry to the basement and take a look. See what's there?" A cultivator hurriedly said.

Ju Zhong did not dare to delay any longer and immediately ran towards the entrance of the basement and opened the iron gate.

After a series of ear-piercing noises, the main door of the basement was slowly revealed. It was a wall that did not look any different from an ordinary wall. In the middle of the wall was an octagonal hole that was as thick as a finger.

Ju Zhong turned the key over again and inserted one of the octagonal keys into a groove. With a strong twist, the stone door rumbled and slowly opened from the middle to both sides.

Zhou Yi looked at the door of the underground storage room that was wrapped up on the third floor and was suddenly curious about what was inside.

When the stone door opened, Zhou Yi finally saw the entire underground warehouse.

Contrary to his expectations, the interior was very neatly organized. Ju Zhong was right, the lower part had indeed just been tidied up.

He walked towards the interior of the mansion.

Rows of three-storey shelves were placed neatly in the room. There were a lot of things on the shelves, but next to them were many small, shiny signs with the names of these things written on them.

There were two doors at the end.

Ju Zhong opened one of the doors and whispered: "This is the place where the array was placed."

Zhou Yi walked in with long strides.

The interior was about twenty to thirty square meters, lit by dim lights. The interior was empty, but there was still some energy left on the ground.

"This formation of yours can't possibly be used for a long time, can it be that it has to be reinforced?" Zhou Yi saw through the rudiment of the formation and asked.

"That's right!" Ju Zhong nodded and said, "This formation needs to be reinforced once every year!"

"What about this year?"

"It's not time to reinforce it yet, so it's impossible for those things to escape due to the reinforcement of the array." Ju Zhong replied. He was very certain about this.

Zhou Yi backed out of the room and looked at the other door.

"What's in it?"

"There are living things inside!" Ju Zhong replied.

"Living beings? What do you mean? Didn't you say that those unrefineable special forces are trapped inside the formation? How can there still be living beings? " Zhou Yi was confused.

"It's not that kind of living creature. There was originally a Heavenly Mountain's thousand-year Snow Lotus, but I didn't expect that after being here for so long, that Snow Lotus actually became an Elf. It's just that the Elf's temper is violent, and we don't usually dare to enter!"

Ju Zhong smiled embarrassedly.

"Nothing else?" Zhou Yi replied.

"Gone!" Ju Zhong answered decisively.

Zhou Yi fell into deep thought.

It was just a fairy, so it was unlikely that these things would be so dangerous.

But what was it?

Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Ju Zhong, "Is there anything else here?"

Ju Zhong raised his hand and pointed around: "They are all here, there's nothing else!"

The rest of the group dispersed and began to search the underground warehouse. They wanted to see if there was anything special about them.

However, this underground space was simply too huge. Even if there were five or six of them, the area that they were searching for was only one to two hundred square meters.

Zhou Yi's gaze swept across the rows of shelves. Basically, he didn't see anything suspicious.

"Huh?" In the distance, a cultivator was looking at a porcelain bottle on a shelf with a puzzled expression. Beside him was a sign that said: "Demon Restoration Pill!"

The cultivator raised his hand to move the porcelain bottle, when suddenly, he heard a loud bang.

"What's going on?" Everyone turned their heads in shock at this voice.

Zhou Yi was the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he arrived beside that cultivator.

At this moment, there was an underground tunnel under his feet that was large enough for an adult male to pass through.

"What is this?" Zhou Yi turned around and looked at Ju Zhong.

Ju Zhong was stunned: "I, I don't know!"

"You don't know?" Zhou Yi was surprised. Wasn't he the leader of this special department? Why didn't he know that there was a secret chamber below?

Furthermore, Zhou Yi could feel that the things sealed below must have something to do with the demons.

"You guys stay up there and guard it. I'll go down alone!" Zhou Yi said after a moment of silence.2

"This …" Ju Zhong was a little hesitant. What if Zhou Yi couldn't handle it alone? What if there were special departments down there, or the secret of the whole country? However, thinking about it, the possibility of the latter was rather small.

Therefore, Ju Zhong said, "Why don't I accompany you. If there's any danger, we can look out for each other."

"No need!" Zhou Yi waved his hand. Then, Zhou Yi said, "It'll be troublesome if you go. But don't worry, I won't take your treasures for myself!"

The last sentence made Ju Zhong blush.

"Then be careful!"

Zhou Yi nodded and then walked towards the narrow underground floor. There were a series of stone steps inside that gradually extended into the darkness. Zhou Yi followed these stone steps and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
