The Shenlong Tower, a tall tower built by Emperor Yinglong himself, is made of white jade stone bricks, which is very similar to the jade bricks in the secret realm of Baiyujing.
Longlong and Longhu were protected in a quiet room at the bottom of the Dragon Tower. Outside were closely guarded by monks from the Qilin family and guarded layer by layer, and even a fly could not fly in easily.
Of course, without Longlong’s troublesome explanation, the dragon and fox can also see that this “protection” also has a bit of “imprisonment” meaning.
After all, the guards of the Dragon Clan envoys were already isolated from the outside and were not allowed to visit them.
After realizing this, Longhu became obviously anxious.
Fortunately, with Longlong around her, she wasn't too panicked, and just kept stroking her tail nervously.
"Stop stroking." Long Long persuaded helplessly, "If you stroke again, your tail will be almost bald."
"It's not bald." Longhu was a little unhappy.
The two were locked in this underground room, and they had been almost all day long.
Not only did no one come to visit, but there was not even at least a person who sent food. Although the demon clan had escaped from his dependence on blood food after his transformation, this inhumane treatment still highlighted the Qilin clan's contempt for them...
...It's almost obvious that "you two are at peace with me, don't run around and cause assassins."
Longlong has no good solution to this.
What he can confirm at present is that the Qilin clan will never harm him and the Longhu, because that would be equivalent to tearing the Canglong clan apart.
But on this basis, Longlong highly suspects that the Canglong clan is using itself and Longhu as bargaining chip to engage in some kind of political game with the Qilin clan, otherwise the clan would not be indifferent to the fact that the two are now "incarnated"...
Even if it is mainly to protect the safety of the two, such treatment is too harsh and rude.
If you think about it carefully, the purpose behind the assassin assassin assassin himself and the Dragon Fox is also very simple - it should be to kill the two of them.
Because the current political form is too clear: Zhongzhou Qilin and Nanzhou Zhuniao have just ceased to fight again, and it is impossible to fight with Dongzhou Canglong.
Considering that Qilin still has the support of Xuanwu and Baihu, Canglong naturally has no idea of challenging Qilin. The peace between the two tribes is based on fear of mutual strength and cannot be easily shaken by an assassination incident.
Considering that the mastermind behind this is not unaware of this, the only explanation for the assassination motive is the assassination itself.
But who have I offended Longhu and I?
No!
Long Long thought that he had always been kind to others and never made enemies easily. Even on the way from Nanzhou to the north, he might have had such a little unpleasantness with some feather tribes, but he would not have let the other party use such a powerful force.
He used the means to assassinate himself... According to Qingping Sword, that attack already possessed the strength to assassinate the Nascent Soul cultivator.
It's really puzzling.
Fortunately, he soon had no time to think, because the dragon fox began to wander around the room, sniffing everywhere.
"There is wind here." She suddenly said.
"What's the wind?" Long Long was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Shh." Longhu said with his index finger up, "There is air flowing in this room."
"Of course there is air flowing in this room." Long Longhun said indifferently, "because there is a fox wandering around the room, and there are still hair floating in the breeze."
"I'm not saying the wind I brought!" Longhu shouted in anger, then lowered his voice, "I mean... I suspect there is a secret passage here."
"Secret passage?"
"Only the gap in the secret passage can bring in the outside air." The dragon fox continued to wander around the corner of the room, touching here from time to time, sniffing there, and checking carefully.
Seeing that she said so surely, Long Long couldn't help but feel confused.
Since my fox is so sure, I'd better check it carefully.
So Longlong also accompanied Longhu to patrol the room everywhere.
With careful search and scanning, Longlong finally found the airflow that Longhu mentioned came from the floor under the feet of the two.
When I lifted up the carpet on the ground, I saw a huge stone brick below.
The stone bricks were very thick, and the sound of knocking was not like hollow. The dragon fox lay curiously on the edge of the floor tiles, and realized that the breath was indeed seeping out of the gaps on the edge of the stone bricks.
Ventilation? No, who would set the ventilation area under the floor?
The dragon fox took out the Fox Sword and tried to pry the stone bricks up from the edge of the gap.
Her face flushed with difficulty, but the stone brick remained motionless, as if she was mocking her for nothing.
Long Long was silent for a moment, then pressed his hand on the floor tiles.
The Five Elements Divine Light erupted from his palm, and the floor tiles seemed to dissolve and soon disappeared.
"So amazing!" Longhu immediately exclaimed, "Longlong, what kind of blood power are you?"
"It's just a little trick." Although the Eastern Emperor Realm and the Human Realm are not interconnected, Long Long didn't plan to tell the little fox everything, but just skillfully opened up the topic, "Huh? There's indeed an authentic one below."
Below the stone bricks is a vertical corridor, with fixed wooden ladders and switches on the side of the corridor.
After carefully observing the structure of the switch and the cross-section of the stone bricks after they were dissolved, Longlong knew that the stone bricks were actually driven by a one-way switch.
If someone climbs up from the tunnel below, you can use the lever principle to push the stone bricks from bottom to top through the switch on the side of the corridor. On the other hand, if it is a person in the room, the stone bricks themselves are bulky and have no supply.
The handle that exerts force cannot pry it up.
"Longlong." Longhu shouted again, "Are we going down?"
"Wait." Long Long turned his gaze outside the door of the room.
Two Qilin monks stood outside the door, responsible for guarding the room and preventing them from going out.
But if there is no sound in the room for a long time, there is no guarantee that the two of them will not come in to check.
"A Jing, let me know some illusion!" Long Long ordered.
Kunlun Mirror responded and gave a simple spiritual hint to the Qilin monks outside, asking them not to think of coming in and checking the room.
"Let's go down." After taking the final precautions, Long Long ordered, "I'll go down first, you follow me."
"Yes." The dragon fox was eager to try it.
Longlong leaned down. The wooden ladder was a little old, but there was no trace of decay. The dust on it was very thick. It should have been a long time since anyone had penetrated this tunnel.
As Longhu said, the ventilation below is very good, obviously it is not a dead end, but a connection to another place.
After dragging the carpet above to cover the hole, the two of them continued to walk down, reaching the ground about five or six feet.
The tunnel here is very low, so it can only allow two people to pass by with their waists. The deeper they go, the darker they become.
Longlong, who has the blood of the scales, did not fear the dark and humid environment, but the little fox was a little scared and could only hold Longlong from behind and walk forward carefully.
