Chapter 1442 The Mystery Deepens
"It seems that there will be no gains this time."
Looking at the huge room in front of him, Xiao Ning's heart sank to the bottom.
Don't think about it, there is basically no hope of catching Varuk this time.
You must know that this underground labyrinth is bigger than Varuk's castle in Kath City.
In this huge maze, just finding the right path is not easy, let alone finding Varuk?
It can be said that Varuk doesn't need to escape from this place at all, as long as he plays hide-and-seek with him here and there, it can be dragged on for a long time.
"That being the case, I will simply explore this place carefully to see if there are any good things worth using here."
Xiao Ning quickly adjusted his thinking, put the matter of Varuk to the back end, and focused on finding the treasure as his first goal.
After all, Varuk will hide, but the good things Varuk hid here will not grow wings and fly away.
Of course, the reason why Xiao Ning made such a decision is mainly because it is inconvenient to return to the ground now.
That Taiyi was searching for traces of him everywhere on it, and he was easily spotted by the other party as soon as he went up.
"In this situation, is it considered that the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind?"
As Xiao Ning thought about it, he walked forward.
If this situation now counts as a praying mantis catching a cicada, then obviously he is the mantis and Tai is the oriole.
So if his praying mantis is not to be eaten by the oriole, he has to think of a way.
With such thoughts in mind, Xiao Ning began to carefully examine the huge central room.
Judging from the layout of this room, this place is undoubtedly the center of the entire underground labyrinth, and the passages on the walls of the room can lead to various rooms in the labyrinth.
It was precisely because of this that he decided to investigate this room first, and then use this as the center to check other places in the underground labyrinth one by one.
This is the safest and most secure.
"What is this huge furnace in the middle of this room for?"
Xiao Ning came to the middle of the room and looked up at the three-story furnace.
Hot gas is constantly coming out of the furnace, but the temperature is not very high, and it is unknown what is being smelted inside.
Xiao Ning rubbed his chin, looking back and forth thoughtfully.
After watching this for a while, he suddenly flew up out of thin air and flew above the furnace.
The top of the furnace was covered by a huge cover, so Xiao Ning couldn't see what was going on inside.
But according to speculation, the temperature inside should not be very high.
"Maybe there is no smelting at all, just maintaining the basic furnace temperature."
Xiao Ning thought for a while, then quickly fell from the sky.
He doesn't have enough time now, so he doesn't have time to check the furnace thoroughly, so he can only get a general understanding first.
So after falling back to the ground, he turned and walked to the northwest side of the room to check some of the things stacked there.
This huge room is round in shape as a whole, like an upside-down big wrist buckled on the ground.
On the circular wall, passage entrances and exits are regularly arranged, and these passages can be used to go to other parts of the maze.
So according to this layout, there should not be so many things piled up in the direction of the northwest side, which is easy to block the road.
"It should have been moved here recently. These things were definitely not here before."
Xiao Ning observed as he walked, and quickly came up with a guess in his mind.
The ground is very clean, so these piled things don't seem to have been here all year round, but have just been moved here.
It can be seen that there must be people living and moving in this underground labyrinth.
This shows that he guessed that Varuk's conclusion here is already a firm fact.
While thinking, Xiao Ning had already come to this huge pile of sundries.
Things are piled all over the floor, so it looks a bit messy.
But if you look closely, you can still see that these things are regularly placed on the ground.
Xiao Ning guessed that these things might be related to that furnace, and the placement of them was also to add them into the furnace in order.
"Maybe it was Varuk who found out that I was here, so he temporarily shut down the furnace."
Xiao Ning glanced back at the huge furnace.
Varuk's cultivation path was completely different from his, so he didn't know what the **** Varuk was doing here.
Otherwise, it would have been judged a long time ago, and it would not be a full-screen guess like it is now.
Xiao Ning touched his chin once, half-closed his eyes.
He couldn't analyze the function of the furnace in a short time, so he could only check what the other party's pile of things on the ground was.
Xiao Ning turned around, bent down and picked up an iron box on the ground.
Opening the iron box, one can see two rows of black pills inside, and this iron box has various layers, Xiao Ning opened each layer and found that there are also two rows of black pills neatly stacked underneath.
"I don't know what it's for."
Shaking his head helplessly, Xiao Ning had no choice but to close the iron box and put it back on the ground.
However, although he didn't know the function of these things, according to his guess, he could still be sure that these things must be the raw materials for refining potions.
Perhaps Varuk just wanted to smelt a potion of healing potion.
"This possibility is not small."
Xiao Ning stared at the iron box blankly for a while, thinking so in his heart.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly retracted his gaze and looked at a large wooden box in the distance.
The reason why this big wooden box caught his attention was because the box was really old, and it was already in a state of decay as a whole.
If you just look at it from the outside, it will feel like it will fall apart just by touching it.
It looks so fragile.
Quickly walking to the side of the big wooden box, Xiao Ning carefully opened the lid of the box.
Like the iron box just now, this big wooden box has no lock.
Of course, this is not to say that it does not have the function of locking itself, but that the lock has been opened by someone, and it is in a state where people can take things at any time.
"Huh? What are these things?"
Taking a look into the big wooden box, Xiao Ning was puzzled.
The contents of the box look like some kind of jelly, but if you look carefully, you will find that the texture is very hard.
Moreover, their colors are different, and it can be said that no two pieces of the same color can be found at all.
"What is Varuk collecting here?"
Xiao Ning shook his head, he just wanted to say that an antique like Varuk is really not simple.
If it wasn't for his strength being clearly superior to Varuk, he really wouldn't dare to search for Varuk alone.
Such an old antique undoubtedly knows a lot, and is also very experienced, so he is not easy to mess with.
"Forget it, I don't know what they are for, so don't mess around with them."
Xiao Ning originally wanted to pick up a piece to have a look, but for safety's sake, he decided not to try it.
You can never go wrong with being careful.
After closing the lid of the box, Xiao Ning looked around, looking for more valuable objects in this pile of messy things.
There are a lot of things here, but some things are very common at first glance, and they are not worth studying at all.
Just like all kinds of unknown materials thrown directly on the ground, they are obviously of little value.
The valuables are kept in different containers and are well preserved.
After watching for a while, Xiao Ning went straight to one of the boxes made of gold.
This box is about one meter square, and the whole box is ornately decorated. The box itself is very valuable.
Xiao Ning was very curious, what kind of things would be stored in such a gorgeous box.
But when he walked to the side of the box, there was a slight movement in the box.
"Um?"
Xiao Ning stopped in his tracks vigilantly, stretched out his consciousness to check carefully.
As a result, after such an inspection, he found that his consciousness could not penetrate into the golden box at all.
It can be seen that the box is extremely tightly sealed.
"Interesting, there are quite a lot of new things here in Varuk."
Xiao Ning took a step forward, looking down at the golden box in this sentence.
Immediately afterwards, he urged Zhenyuan to open the lid of the box out of thin air.
As a result, as soon as he got started, he instantly found that the lid of this box was extremely heavy, as if it was a huge piece of dishonest gold.
And the moment he opened the box, he felt relieved.
Because the gold box cover is indeed made of pure gold and is solid.
And, the same goes for the box below.
This one-meter-square box has an internal storage space of only ten cubic centimeters.
The place beyond the ten cubic centimeters is all solid gold.
"No wonder it's so tightly sealed."
Xiao Ning nodded secretly.
"But why is there nothing in it?"
There is nothing inside this extremely solid gold box.
The storage compartment of about ten cubic centimeters was completely empty.
"Maybe it was taken by Varuk."
Xiao Ning could only come up with this conjecture.
Afterwards, he put the lid on the box again and continued to check other things here.
And as he kept checking, some answers gradually surfaced.
As he guessed just now, the things piled up here are all used to refine potions.
Xiao Ning didn't know what the potion was used for, he only knew that this furnace of potion was absolutely priceless.
Because the raw materials on the ground alone seem to be of great value.
"It's a pity that I don't know what they are for, otherwise I must make good use of them."
Xiao Ning felt a pity.
These things were definitely collected by Varuk with countless hours and labor, and they have been treasured for many years and are reluctant to use them.
However, even if he was lucky enough to get these good things now, he couldn't use them at all.
Shaking his head slightly, Xiao Ning turned around and looked around the room.
Apart from the huge furnace in the middle and these sundries on the ground, there is nothing else in this huge room.
So next he had to choose a passage and enter it to explore.
"These things are placed on the northwest side of this room, that is to say, they were all moved here from the passage on the northwest side."
Xiao Ning quickly analyzed.
According to common sense, people will definitely put things in the nearest place.
So where these things are placed, can reflect where they come from.
"From this point of view, the passages on the northwest side should all lead to different warehouses."
Xiao Ning rubbed his chin, his eyes moved back and forth at the passages on the northwest side.
Now he is thinking about whether to go to those passages to find out.
These things placed on the ground were moved here not long ago, so if it was moved by Varuk, there are two possibilities next.
The first one is that Varuk hasn't finished moving his things yet, so he is currently rummaging for things in a certain warehouse on the northwest side.
The second is that Varuk has moved all the things that should be moved here, and will not go to the warehouse on the northwest side in a short time.
"There are two possibilities, so it means that there is no result."
Xiao Ning shook his head.
The situation with both possibilities is the same as the situation where no clues are found.
Because in the end it's up to you.
"Then bet he's still in the warehouse on the northwest side."
Xiao Ning quickly made a decision, going to visit the northwest area first.
In fact, another reason for making such a decision is that Xiao Ning wants to go to those warehouses to see if there are any good things.
After all, these things placed on the ground look like treasures.
Without thinking about it, Xiao Ning walked towards the first passage on the left.
After some progress, Xiao Ning smoothly walked through the passage to the other end of the passage.
This passage is very long, so the distance he traveled this way is about the same as the distance from the empty room to the central room at the beginning.
"It really is a warehouse!"
After walking out of the passage, Xiao Ning was overjoyed.
His analysis is correct, this place is indeed a warehouse.
With a quick glance, Xiao Ning took in the general layout of the warehouse.
Judging from the layout, this warehouse seems to store a single item.
Because the shelves in the entire warehouse are neat and uniform, and the storage boxes on the shelves are all of the same specification.
"What is so large that it needs this entire warehouse to store it?"
With this curiosity, Xiao Ning walked quickly to one of the shelves and opened a storage box on the shelf.
"empty."
Shaking his head, Xiao Ning walked directly towards the deepest shelf. UU reading www.uukanshu. com
It is estimated that the few outer shelves have been emptied by Varuk, so it is safest to go directly to the innermost.
Quickly coming to the innermost shelf, Xiao Ning opened a storage box again.
"Blood?"
Xiao Ning swallowed.
In this storage box, there are densely packed blood.
"Is this Varuk a vampire?"
"Isn't he a great magician?"
Xiao Ning was a little confused about the situation.
Varuk is fine, why so much blood?
With this doubt, Xiao Ning quickly checked the other storage boxes on the shelf.
As a result, without exception, every storage box was filled with blood.
So if the entire warehouse is added up, the blood stored here is estimated to be as much as several swimming pools.
"It's getting more and more interesting."
Xiao Ning squinted his eyes, not knowing whether he should be happy or worried.
The more mysterious Varuk is, the more dangerous he is.
Xiao Ning even felt that Varuk might not be alone now, but had another superpower with him.
For example, vampires who have lived from the Middle Ages to the present.
"However, these bloods are quite useful to me. If used properly, maybe..."
Xiao Ning's thoughts quickly turned and drifted to another place.
The means of resurrection of flesh and blood that he has mastered can also use the blood stored in the warehouse.
If used well, it will play a big role.
Of course, the premise is that the blood is not the blood of ordinary people, otherwise it will not be of much use.
