The monster's mouth was so big that it could fit at least three Wu Shidao into it. The latter walked past it and saw that its belly was rising and falling in a regular pattern, but three snake heads suddenly appeared behind it, approaching him and making a hissing sound.
This is not a real snake, but the tail of a snake. They have eyes. They can not only observe visitors, but also feel their emotions.
These things were really sharp, and Wu Shoudao felt a little nervous because he was actually sniffed out by them.
Once it is determined that there is something wrong, the tiger-like Yaozu will wake up and give him a bite directly.
Wu swore a secret secret to luck, and forced himself to calm down: "It's me."
They were indeed old acquaintances, and they had a crush on each other when they met. The smuggler circled around to look at him twice to make sure he was genuine, so he retreated again.
The main body of Yashu never opened his eyes.
Wu vowed to move forward quickly.
There is a small door behind Yazhuo, which can only allow one person to pass through.
It is a gatekeeper. Once a foreign enemy breaks in, it must first pass through it.
After passing this door, there is another cave.
This hole is small, and when you close the door, it becomes a secret room, surrounded by airtight stone walls.
There was no debris in the cave, only a rectangular cold stone counter in the middle, one foot long and six feet wide, without any patterns.
He walked to the front of the counter, reached out and knocked on the counter three times.
With a bang, the counter opened by itself. It was empty inside and looked like a metal disc underneath.
Wu Shoudao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then took out the warrant from Head Xiao and the bottomless bag given to him by Bai Ziqi, and put them into the disk.
"Bang", the stone cabinet closed.
Whether you live or die, succeed or fail, all depends on this step.
He turned back and looked at the stone wall opposite. There was actually a shadowless door on this wall, leading to the last two floors of the treasure cave, but it could not be opened at ordinary times. It could only be entered once every five years for maintenance and accounting.
Normally, everyone from the elders to the doormen can only stop at this secret room when accessing items, and then put the order at the counter to wait for verification.
Once passed, the Scale Demon behind the Shadowless Door will begin to allocate supplies, and then push them to the doorman through the counter.
From the beginning to the end, the disciple and the Scales Demon do not need to face each other, which reduces the interference of living people on the Scales Demon's work.
Once the warrant verification fails, Yasuo and the steward from outside will immediately receive the news and rush over to check.
This procedure is not only strict, but also inhumane. There is no part of getting close or saying nice things.
Wu Zhaodao still remembered that when the former old steward took him into this secret room for the first time, he said that people will slack off and people will be attacked, so they cannot be used here.
He took two steps back and began to wait. Unconsciously, his palms were covered in cold sweat.
The warrant fell into the chassis of the stone cabinet and was quickly passed behind the Shadowless Door, where it was collected by the Scale Demon——
The plate is originally part of the Scale Demon.
The monster's appearance is a standard bronze balance, with a wide base, a load-bearing straight rod, and a large bronze plate on each side.
As soon as it picked up Mr. Xiao's handwriting, the ruby on its forehead glowed red, making the paper transparent in an instant.
You can tell whether the handwriting is authentic or fake in this step. If it has been altered, forged or even modified, the font will turn green.
After two breaths, the verification passed.
This handwritten letter was identified as Xiao Wencheng's own handwriting, and the mana fluctuations in it also belonged to him. The verification was correct, so a silver weight popped out of the scale demon's chassis.
The shape of the weight is very strange. It looks like an ordinary scale weight. It looks like a small bucket, but it has hands and feet. It can run, bend and fetch things like a human being.
As soon as it was rolled on the handwriting, the writing about the quantity was stuck to the weight.
Eighty thousand kilograms of extremely high-grade Xuanjing!
Next, the scale demon will grab the supplies according to the weights.
Its figure disappeared from behind the Shadowless Gate, and then flashed on the last floor of the treasure cave.
As Wu Zhidao knew, there was a cave here specifically for Xuan Jing. There were more than a dozen rows of large racks against the wall, half of which contained treasure chests of various sizes.
Inside these treasure chests are various grades of mysterious crystals.
The Scale Demon appeared directly in front of the narrowest row of shelves, holding the scale high.
The silver weight got bigger after it jumped onto the shelf, at least as tall as half a person. It opened the lid of the box very skillfully and tilted the whole box forward——
Blah blah blah, the Xuan Jing inside snatched out of the box and landed on the scale directly below!
The black crystals in this box are all of red-purple or purple-black quality. As the saying goes, "it's so red that it turns purple." This is the color. Not long ago, the emperor's fluid flow was very strong, and He Lingchuan experienced it for several days.
I only received a dozen yuan for the oozing paste.
And in the inconspicuous cave of Huanzong, there is just a big box.
After one box has been emptied, the weight man moves the second box.
Every mysterious crystal will be accurately placed on the plate and will never fall to the ground, and no matter how much is poured, the bronze plate will not be full.
If you look carefully, you will find that Xuan Jing shrinks sharply when it is placed on the plate. When a whole box is poured in, it is only a little bit the size of a sesame seed.
This is five hundred kilograms of Xuanjing!
In the blink of an eye, the second box was empty again.
The weight man did not hesitate to move the third box, the fourth box...
When he had accumulated five thousand kilograms, he jumped on the scale and weighed him. Yes, no more, no less.
Then it continued to move the Xuan Jing. When the scale tilted, the five thousand kilograms of Xuan Jing fell into the bottomless bag.
The mouth of the bag is only so big, and the speed of dumping Xuan Jing is not fast.
The scale demon's movements are very nimble, but "eighty thousand kilograms of top-quality mysterious crystals" is really a huge number, and it is difficult to handle it in a short time.
Any intelligent creature would be suspicious of the numbers on the handbook, even if it was indeed Master Xiao's own handwriting and there was a trace of his real power left in it.
But the Scale Demon doesn't do that. It just executes commands mechanically.
The reason why Qian Huan sent it to guard the treasure house was because of its machinery and its ability to do things according to the rules.
Creatures with high intelligence will develop self-awareness; with self-awareness, there will be more distracting thoughts.
In a treasure house, dealing with so many treasures all day long, who can not be malicious?
It is precisely because Qian Huan has seen through people's human nature that he wants such a dull, boring, but loyal and selfless magic weapon to guard the treasure house.
However, there are advantages and disadvantages. The Scale Demon is actually a tool spirit. It has neither self-doubt nor self-judgment.
Wu Shoudao seized on this point and used the mirage powder given by Miaozhantian to secretly alter the order of Master Xiao, changing the expression "eight hundred kilograms of medium-grade Xuanjing".
This scale demon is originally one of the magic weapons of thousands of illusions. It is not surprising at all that it cannot detect the illusion of its master.
Since it is an order from the master, it must be carried out meticulously.
Eighty thousand kilograms of top-quality Xuan Jing, not a single piece is missing!
Time passed little by little, and more than a hundred boxes of black crystals were put into the bag.
