The rustling sounds in the ground made the silent and helpless traitors nearby feel a tremble in their hearts.
After making several silence and standby gestures, their leader followed the direction of the sound and tiptoed to find a small mound.
This small mound is located in the middle of several houses. It does not seem to be noticeable, but if you look closely, it becomes more and more awkward.
He carefully pulled out the machete. After observing it carefully for a long time, he gently inserted the sharp blade into the soil along an almost undetectable gap.
After several trials, he quickly found the location of the door bolt, then gently and carefully pushed it to the side, and then bit by bit, he pried off the three-foot-square metal plate covered with soil on one side.
Arrived to the side.
Picking up a long lance, he called a helper, and the two of them worked together to finally move the board to one side.
Just like that, a downward-sloping passage was revealed again.
At the end of this passage, a locked door appeared in front of them.
This is the entrance to Shuijingfang - over the long years, Shuijingfang, which once stood in the oasis, has now been completely buried underground. The survivors of the oasis simply built a diagonal downward path using Shuijingfang's buildings as the main body.
The passage leads directly to here.
Seeing this door, the traitors finally cheered up one by one.
Then, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, a new problem appeared in front of them.
The door of Shuijingfang is very strong, and the tight-fitting facade cannot be pried open with a machete or other tools. If Kraft is really inside, these sand thieves will not be able to do anything to him for a while.
Since it is a shelter, there will definitely be various supplies, drinking water, and food inside.
The hard work of guarding the door is definitely not worth it!
I have to find a way to open the door...
But the problem is that after a fire, almost the entire oasis was burned to ashes. In this case, if you want to open this tightly fitting outward door, there is simply nowhere to start.
Pry? There is no door crack.
Damn? The door opens from the outside.
There was something that looked like a keyhole on the door, but after the person in the team who knew how to unlock the door took out the iron wire and tried it, he could only grin helplessly - the keyhole was completely rusted and could not be opened at all.
Not open!
Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the traitor leader picked up a piece of iron and started digging up soil outside the door frame.
This door is indeed very strong.
But as long as it is removed, no matter how strong the door is, it is meaningless!
Don't tell me, this trick is really easy to use.
Seeing that there seemed to be an opportunity to do so, someone soon found several unrecognizable tools in the ruins, gathered around and started digging hard together with the traitor leader.
The door frame was visibly loose.
The digging action alarmed the oasis survivors in the shelter. Although everyone was a little depressed at this time, they still reacted after they discovered that someone was digging the door in the direction of the door.
"Who is it?" The elder, who had just soothed the awakened Sefiqa to sleep, braced himself on crutches and came to the door, "Who is digging the door?"
No one answered, but the sound of digging seemed louder.
"Who are you?" Although he secretly thought something was wrong, the elder still had the courage to ask again, "Who are you?"
"Don't ask." This time, Kraft, who had been staying in the corner before, finally stood up, "They are the ones who set this fire."
"Are they your men?" Hearing what Kraft said, the elder raised his crutch, "What are they going to do?!"
"They were once my subordinates." Kraft corrected him, "But now they are probably the ones who want me to die the most."
Although he didn't know what Kraft was talking about, the elder still motioned for several young people to come over and held Kraft back and forth, preventing him from moving.
"It's useless, it's meaningless." Kraft seemed to have been drained of all his energy. At this time, he no longer had any intention of resisting. "The target of this fire is not you, but me..."
"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about." The elder snorted, "Want to use sweet words to escape? Stop dreaming!"
"...Same." Kraft opened his mouth, and finally sighed helplessly, "Maybe you can kill me now and send my body out? No, no, if you really do that, then the Governor
I am afraid that in the name of revenge for me, I will attack you outright——"
"What are you talking about?" Seeing Kafu starting to talk to himself, the elder felt a little unsure, "What's a traitor, what's revenge, what's going on?!"
"To put it simply, some of my subordinates betrayed me and hoped that I would die, and the death could not be caused by their actions." Kraft sighed, "As for you and this fire, it is a purely unreasonable disaster.
.”
"..."
Hearing what Kafu said, the elder was also confused. He was not interested in the grudges between Kafu and his men, but according to Kafu, the number of traitors was unknown, and they blocked the exit of Shuijingfang, and they might kill people.
Silence!
Although he didn't understand the reason yet, at least he understood the conclusion. So, while keeping a firm eye on Kraft, he asked people to start strengthening the door at the entrance.
"It's useless." Kraft shook his head, "Instead of strengthening the door, it's better for me to talk to them. What they want is me."
"Who knows if you are with them-"
"At least I'm in your hands now."
Blinking his eyes, the elder had to admit that things seemed to be exactly as Kraft said.
So, after finding a rope to tie him up, several young men escorted Kraft to the door.
"Who is outside?" After clearing his throat, Kraft finally said, "Is it Maimu? Or Lucaba?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's me, Lucaba." As if he heard Kraft's voice, the leader of the traitors finally responded, "Captain, are you okay?
?”
"If you didn't set fire to me and didn't betray me, I should be fine." Kraft's voice was full of bitterness, "What did the Governor promise you?"
"..."
Kraft's directness silenced Lucaba outside, and after a moment, he finally snorted.
"a lot of."
"Then I'm really an incompetent captain." Kraft laughed at himself, "Don't bother digging, I can't run away."
"That's impossible to say." Lucaba sighed, and then said in an incomprehensible tone, "Even tens of thousands of Noxians can't stop you. These guys, we can't stop you."
You don’t have enough to see in front of you..."
"Let these remnants of the oasis go and give me a decent chance." Kraft put forward his conditions neatly, "This is the culvert of the former empire. Although the intricate waterways are almost dead ends, if you have to delay time
If so, you will also be in trouble."
Hearing what Kraft said, Lucaba was a little moved.
If possible, he really hopes to let Kraft leave with dignity.
"What do you think we should do?" After thinking for a while, Lukaba finally spoke again, "I have no shortage of slaves, and these oasis remnants are of no use to me... So, tell me what you can do!"
"Let them leave first, I will stay at the end." Kraft's voice was full of despair, "I will kill myself."
"..."
"As for these oasis remnants... give them a map and let them go to Bergune. When they get to Bergune, they will be Noxians." Kraft seemed to have calculated everything, "Nok
I don’t think anyone will believe the slanderous rumors spread by the SARS people.”
"Not a bad idea, but I also want to make sure you don't get mixed up in the crowd..."
"Of course, you can check them one by one - but my Bai Yushuang has been following me for many years. She can't speak, so can you let her go?"
"It's not impossible..."
"..."
"..."
Across the door, Kraft and Lucaba started bargaining like business negotiators.
And all the oasis survivors who heard the bargaining content between the two parties, when they looked at Kraft, their eyes widened in astonishment - not only because of the content of the transaction between Kraft and those outside, but also because of Kraft's arms.
Above, the sparse feathers quickly became denser at a speed visible to the naked eye.
When the two parties almost completely agreed on the "details of the transaction", he had transformed from a human into the appearance of an eagle.
The vastaya blood in Kafu is indeed very thin.
But even such a thin bloodline is enough to make him a Vastaya shapechanger.
