Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents Chapter 231 - 205: First to Arrive, Swept Clean
This roar was heard not only around the City Lord’s Mansion, but Lu Lin figured the whole of Hang Tang knew soone was cursing their City Lord.
In the City Lord’s Mansion, one master after another soared into the sky, torches were lit, allowing Lu Lin to see the current situation.
The three ladies resting in the First Madam’s mansion hurriedly rushed out.
The Second Madam cursed as she ran: "Who is that bastard daring to curse our husband? Eldest Sister, Third Sister, let’s go and see."
Saying this, the Second Madam’s hair transford from smoke into a willow branch state.
The First Madam who ca out next, who was also the Third Madam, had knitted brows, her face as cold as frost.
The three of them didn’t even need maids to attend to them as they walked towards the front yard, wanting to find out what was going on.
Seeing the three of them leave, Lu Lin knew his chance had co.
The City Lord Hang Tang was certainly not in the city now. Lu Lin heard the three ladies chatting earlier, saying that Hang Tang seed to have gone sowhere to discuss matters.
Anyway, this had nothing to do with him. As soon as Lu Lin saw the three ladies walk away, he didn’t care what was happening outside, and with a flash, he entered the room.
In the bedroom, for unknown reasons, a waft of fragrance hit his nose. Worried about a trap, he held his breath and groped to the bedside, crouching down to find the entrance to the treasure vault.
Ever since he knew the treasure vault entrance was under the First Madam’s bed, Lu Lin had been quite curious about how this Titled King thought, setting the entrance here.
Also, how did Tian Dayin know this information?
Under the bed, Lu Lin first felt around on the floor.
After activating his Eye System Talent, Lu Lin didn’t ntion others, but his vision had really improved significantly.
Along with the Perceive Star Skill, the two together quickly discovered the chanism to enter the treasure vault.
It was a floorboard that could be pressed down.
Lu Lin pressed down hard, and the floor folded into two, slowly opening an underground entrance, seemingly only allowing one person to squeeze through.
Lu Lin sensed the situation inside, confird there were no problems, and then jumped down.
From a height of about four or five ters, after landing, he pressed a button beside him to restore the entrance and floor.
In front of him was a passageway that seed endless at a glance.
Proceeding cautiously, Lu Lin sensed his way along, after about ten minutes he arrived before a wooden door.
This door wasn’t just an ordinary wooden door; Lu Lin felt a strong Star Power Fluctuation from it.
There was a formation present.
He reached out and touched it, yet the Star Array had no response, as if it hadn’t sensed soone approaching.
Lu Lin knew well, this was surely due to the switch in the Second Madam’s room, which cut off the Star Array’s Star Power supply system.
Then, he took out a key found from the Third Madam’s bedside cabinet and inserted it into the lock.
The door opened.
For so reason, Lu Lin felt a sense of being watched.
He instinctively lifted his face towel higher up, then entered the room.
Lu Lin’s caution wasn’t unfounded; although he had shut down the Star Array’s Star Power supply and used a key to unlock the door.
But this very door was made of the exceptionally rare "Shadow Record Wood."
This was the final line of defense Hang Tang made for his treasure vault.
Even if soone could enter the treasure vault, he could see the intruder’s face information and Star Power fluctuation on the shadow door, and use this to find the intruder and reclaim the treasures in the vault.
Hang Tang’s treasure vault wasn’t a large room, only about a dozen square ters, with seven transparent covers displaying treasures, Lu Lin couldn’t tell what material they were made of.
But that wasn’t important.
Lu Lin glanced at the room’s layout, which had around a dozen treasure chests, all filled with Universal Star Coins from Exotic Battlefield, Star Crystals, and so exotic beast bones.
All very nice, collected them.
Besides these nurous items, there were also seven treasures sealed in transparent covers.
Three of these transparent covers respectively sealed three bottles of elixirs.
There were also two covers, sealing each a book.
Lu Lin couldn’t understand the text on the books at all.
The remaining two, one contained a piece of at in a glass bottle.
The at still bloody.
Even in the glass bottle, the at kept growing new flesh, yet was quickly exterminated by the Star Array on the glass bottle.
In the other transparent cover was a mask, embossed with mysterious patterns.
Lu Lin just glanced and felt his consciousness drawn in, promptly turned his sight to stop watching.
All good stuff.
Lu Lin licked his lips, reached out, and first took out the three bottles of elixirs.
Then the two books.
As for the piece of at in the glass bottle and mask that could awe one’s consciousness just by a glimpse, Lu Lin thought a while and put them in his Storage Ring.
Regardless of whether these things were good or bad, he’d take them back to the Star Investigation Office to let masters take a look.
No reason to leave them here.
Like locusts crossing a field, Lu Lin quickly emptied the treasure vault of its contents.
But at this mont, he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from the distant passageway.
The footsteps were very light, very faint.
As if soone was tiptoeing.
Hang Tang’s back?
Almost as soon as this thought appeared, Lu Lin shook his head to deny it.
Then who could it be?
Lu Lin thought to hide first, then check who else, like him, had entered the treasure vault.
He opened another door inside the treasure vault, slipped inside.
There, again, was a passageway that seed endless.
Lu Lin held his breath, quietly sensing.
Quickly, the footsteps got closer.
A similarly black-clad intruder entered the vault.
But the empty vault left the intruder dumbfounded.
Where were the things?
The other person searched to and fro, but found no trace.
Soon, he also noticed the door where Lu Lin was hidden.
The intruder chuckled, walked over, and knocked on the door.
"Friend, I didn’t expect you to beat to it. Hand over that glass bottle to , and I won’t ask for anything else."
Lu Lin remained silent.
"Heh heh."
"Friend, there’s no need for this. You give what I want, and I won’t take a penny from the rest."
"I have three brothers outside, diverting the attention of Hang Tang’s mansion."
"You can’t just take everything without giving anything in return, can you?"
"That’s not appropriate."
"I’ll count to three and then open the room door. You just put the item on the ground and leave by yourself."
"One."
The intruder didn’t give Lu Lin a chance to think, and quickly called out.
At the sa ti, branches erged from his body and pierced into the walls on both sides.
The sturdy walls were easily penetrated by his branches as if they were the softest material.
"Two."
"Three."
"Alright, I’m opening the room door now."
As he spoke, he yanked open the room door, and the torchlight illuminated the entrance.
Empty.
No glass bottle on the ground either.
A trace of doubt appeared on the intruder’s face.
Did he guess wrong?
The branches on his body grew more nurous, piercing into the ground, ceiling, and walls of the passageway.
The branches stretched afar.
After a long ti.
All the branches returned to his body. The man shook his head, sighed, and turned to leave.
The footsteps grew fainter, and Lu Lin almost heard the sound of the man climbing up the entrance and opening the floor.
Yet he still didn’t move.
Indeed.
Almost the instant the sound from the floor ca, the treasure vault’s back door opened again. The man looked at the empty passageway and cursed angrily before turning away.
This passageway wasn’t actually a passageway.
Hang Tang had set up a door at the back of the treasure vault to make it convenient for people unable to exit imdiately to hide.
Making them think it was an escape route Hang Tang set up for his family.
In reality, this passageway had an end.
If soone truly escaped into it, they’d surely be trapped inside.
The intruder kept cursing angrily.
The Qingmu Clan’s three Star Generals imdiately moved after learning Hang Tang was summoned for a eting, hoping to snatch that bizarre chunk of flesh.
After days of scheming in Hang Tang City, they finally discovered how to enter Hang Tang’s treasure vault.
Tonight, the Qingmu Three Star Generals specifically ca here under the guise of provoking Hang Tang; their true goal was the bizarre flesh.
Yet unexpectedly, despite their long-term planning, soone beat them to it.
This night, they gained nothing and caused trouble, losing the item in the end.
Qing Yu Star General grew angrier and smashed all the dozen treasure chests in the vault, then shattered the seven pedestals holding treasures, finally removed a Shadow Record door and stashed it into his Storage Ring.
Upon exiting the First Madam’s room, Qing Yu Star General secretly sent a ssage to his brothers to retreat.
Actually, tonight they didn’t even engage in a fight.
Outside were three Star Generals, with Hang Tang mansion’s highest guard being a Level 8 hidden away. He could only fly in the air, responding minimally as the Qingmu Clan’s three Star Generals occasionally jeered.
But Hang Tang’s three ladies were not to be underestimated. The guards dared not retaliate, but they could.
These three usually privileged, either playing cards or admiring flowers, noble ladies were at the mont fiercer than shrews.
They lined up and robustly scolded the airborne Qingmu Three Star Generals.
From the ancestors eighteen generations back to eighteen generations forward, the insults contained no vulgarity, but sounded more painful than actual curses.
Qing Kui, Qing You brothers, and Qing Yu’s avatar each admitted defeat. When Qing Yu’s avatar received news from the main body, he inford the two brothers to retreat; their plan had failed this ti.
The treasure inside the vault had been taken by soone first.
"You three old biddies, stop scolding here."
"Look at your Hang Tang’s old scoundrel’s treasure vault."
"It’s already empty inside."
"Our three brothers will co back to settle accounts with Hang Tang, that old jerk."
"We’re leaving!"
After speaking, the three no longer glanced at the expressions of the three ladies and dissipated into the air.
"Eldest Sister, that old turtle Qing Kui ntioned husband’s treasure vault, did he..."
Second Madam asked nervously.
"Yes, Eldest Sister, we should hurry back to check it out."
Seeing the two madams so nervous, even the First Madam couldn’t help but look serious.
She paused, waved her hand, and said: "Second Sister, Third Sister, no need to panic."
"Be careful not to fall for these three old wood’s trickery."
"Husband’s treasure vault is known only to and my husband; no one else knows."
"Plus, entering the treasure vault involves heavy chanisms, which isn’t for ordinary people to manage."
"Rest assured, husband’s treasure vault is currently impregnable."
"But..."
Second Madam was about to say sothing but was pulled aside by the First Madam, who gave a signal before casually walking towards the inner mansion, seemingly unworried.
Once far off, the First Madam asked: "Second Sister, what were you about to say just now?"
"I want to say, I want to say..."
Second Madam felt wronged, keeping her head down to avoid looking at the First Madam next to her.
"Speak, will you, trying to kill with suspense?"
"I wanted to say, Eldest Sister you..."
