Chapter 310 - Secret Chamber Stone House
Chapter 310: Secret Chamber Stone House
In the forest, corpses littered the ground, blood flowed like a river, and a large patch of fire was burning fiercely. However, there was no trace of Lin Bai at all.
The City Lord clenched his fists tightly, making cracking sounds as he gritted his teeth and looked around him.
When fatty was swept by the City Lord’s gaze, his entire body shivered, and his legs nearly went weak and fell to the ground.
Although the City Lord’s anger was not expressed on his face, his eyes were already spewing flames, making people feel terrified!
“City Lord…”
The burly man walked forward under the immense pressure and knelt on one knee on the ground. His voice was sincere, and his forehead was full of sweat.
“Speak!” The City Lord said coldly.
“I feel that there are a few points that are very suspicious!” When the burly man saw that the City Lord did not speak, he continued, “This doesn’t seem like Lin Bai did it.”
“You said that it doesn’t seem to be Lin Bai’s doing. Then how do you explain what that dying man said just now?” The City Lord raised his eyebrows, and the anger in his eyes dissipated a little.
Fatty’s heart trembled. He did not think that this man had the same thoughts as him.
Based on Fatty’s understanding of Lin Bai, Lin Bai would not have killed someone so cruelly. Moreover, if Lin Bai were to do it, he would not have left such an obvious scene for others to discover that he was the one who did it. It would definitely be more seamless.
Then, who was the one who did it?!
Fatty’s heart started to become anxious. A huge question surfaced in his heart. Could it be that someone was pretending to be Lin Bai and wanted to create some unspeakable secrets?
The man continued to speak. Seeing that the City Lord wasn’t angry, he became more and more confident. He passionately said, “Is it possible that someone is pretending to be Lin Bai and wants to do something?”
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. Fatty even turned around to look at the man, “F * ck, do you have a mind-reading ability?”.
The City Lord rubbed his palms and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he slowly said, “What’s your name?”
Hearing this, the man’s face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said, “I’m called Fu Hu!”
Hiss! You’re really f * cking lucky!
Fatty ridiculed continuously in his heart. This man looked big and burly, and he had a full beard. However, this brilliant brain of his did not match his appearance at all.
If not for Fu Hu bringing this up at this time, the City Lord might have been stunned by this matter. Although he did not know who did this, it had caused confusion to the City Lord, and it was also very beneficial to Lin Bai’s actions.
But now, it had been seen through by a burly man! Not even the person who did this could probably see through this..
“Mhm, Fu Hu, this is the spirit medicine for you. If you take it, you should be able to break through a small stage.”
The City Lord casually threw out a spirit medicine, but Fu Hu was greatly shocked. He carefully received it in his hand, afraid that it would shatter and melt.
Fu Hu’s eyes were bedazzled. It took him a long time to react, and he hurriedly thanked, “Thank you, City Lord!”
This spirit herb was extremely familiar to Fatty. It was this spirit herb that allowed Fatty to raise his cultivation level, which had not advanced for many years.
“After taking it, I’ll leave this matter to you to investigate. If there’s anyone here that you want to be a helper, feel free to mention it. I will agree to you.”
The moment the City Lord said this, Fatty’s heart thumped, and a very bad premonition arose in his heart.
“I will definitely not fail my mission. City Lord, I want him to be my helper and help me investigate this matter.”
Fu Hu pointed a finger behind him, and that direction was fatty. Fatty’s eyebrows jumped from being pointed at.
“Him?” The City Lord couldn’t tell what Fu Hu’s intentions were.
“City Lord, I suspect that he doesn’t want my help, but has other intentions. Forgive me for rejecting!”
Fatty rejected decisively.
Even though fatty was a spy, he had contributed greatly to this operation.
In the eyes of others, he was the one who had rebelled against Lin Bai and heavily injured two of Lin Bai’s companions. Furthermore, he had been secretly providing clues to the City Lord.
The City Lord frowned and shook his head. “Then we’ll do as you say. However, I can guarantee that he’s definitely not what you think. If you use the authority of this matter to threaten him again, the consequences…”
The City Lord’s tone changed and turned cold. Fu Hu hurriedly shook his head. “No, I won’t!”
The City Lord Glanced at Fu Hu and nodded. “Then the two of you will act together. You must find out the truth here.”
“Hope you we can look after each other!”
When Fu Hu heard this, he couldn’t help but smile. He turned around and glanced at Fatty, his eyes filled with provocation.
“Same. I hope I can catch that Devil Lin Bai and find out who is impersonating him and what his intentions are!”
Fatty also revealed a smile, but in his heart, he was already cursing Fu Hu’s eighteen generations of ancestors.
Fu Hu once again caused Fatty’s escape plan to fail.
“Now, use this as your starting point. Search for that demon, Lin Bai, until you find him!”
The City Lord’s tone was very light, but it made everyone feel a mountain-like pressure.
“Yes!”
Fatty and the others hurriedly responded, not daring to hesitate in the slightest.
The City Lord and the others dispersed in all directions, leaving only Fu Hu and fatty on the spot. The two of them looked at each other, but neither of them took the initiative to speak.
After a while, Fu Hu swallowed the pill that the City Lord had given him in front of Fatty. Then, he sat cross-legged on a huge rock and digested the medicinal strength. Instantly, a faint luster surrounded his body.
On the other side, in the depths of the secret chamber in the City Lord’s main hall.
“Right now, I only want to know who made this secret chamber, and who made the mechanisms here! If I find out, then I will definitely curse your ancestors for eighteen generations!”
The skinny man looked around and shouted.
Along the way, they encountered more than thirty traps of various sizes. Some of the traps were linked together, and if they were not careful, they would all die here.
Fortunately, Little Black’s rough shell was hard, and all of them used their bodies to receive it. In addition, Little Red and Little Green also made a move together, triggering most of the traps. They were able to follow a path and arrive at a very large room.
However, there was only a stone house in this space. There was a stone bed, a stone bench, and a stone table. On the table were bowls and chopsticks made of stone.
“It’s gone. I didn’t find anything else useful, but I’m curious. Just how much does the person here like stones?”
The thin man checked the surroundings, but found nothing else. He reported it to Lin Bai.
At first, he didn’t believe it. He held the stone in his hand and played with it for a long time. He thought it was a beautiful jade wrapped in stone or some kind of heavenly treasure. But after cutting open one of the chopsticks, the skinny man found that it was a worthless stone!
“I didn’t find anything around the house either.” Bai Xi shook her head and walked back regretfully.
“But I did see a footprint here. It should have been left by the City Lord when he entered this place.”
Lin Bai stroked his chin and said slowly.
