Chapter 168 Infiltration
Loulan - the only oasis in the desert.
It was a gloomy night. Although it was an oasis, Loulan City was still shrouded in a faint yellow sand. Foreign objects that could be seen everywhere in the sky were swept by the breeze, making the air full of the smell of gravel.
But compared to the sandstorms Shangguan Mo encountered when he came, this place can be said to be the only paradise in the desert.
Shangguan Mo was standing on a not-so-wide street in Loulan City. From here, the majestic palace in the distance only revealed a hazy black outline in the night, full of coldness and hardness. The style building looks like it has a different style.
Based on the detection of the self-exploding fly, Shangguan Mo determined that the dragon vein was hidden in the underground world of the capital.
"Fortunately, I let the self-destructing fly do the investigation work, otherwise it would still be a long time to find..."
He was secretly glad.
He only remembered that the dragon vein must be in the Loulan capital, but where exactly it was. Although Shangguan Mo had read the original work, he could not remember it. After all, it was not a scenic spot full of historical commemoration like Nanhe River. Most people He would not take the location of the Dragon Vein that was just mentioned too seriously at all.
Fortunately, the self-destructing fly is small. After a long time of hard work, it can be said that he rummaged through Loulan City. Whether it was the palace or the underground, with the fly's unobtrusive size and body shape, it was very easy. Just dive in.
Shangguan Mo secretly looked at the position under his feet.
Even on the ground, there are thick pipes everywhere, connecting various buildings. From a distance, the ends of most pipes still extend underground and disappear.
He didn't know what the specific purpose of these pipes was, but Shangguan Mo could clearly sense that gentle chakra fluctuations were faintly emanating through the steel pipes.
"There is a hint of technology! I also know how to use the power of the dragon vein hidden deep in the ground and use chakra as the driving energy to build this place into a steel fortress..."
Shangguan Mo commented in his heart.
He felt that if Loulan was allowed to develop like this for decades, Loulan, who had the power of the dragon vein and knew how to use it, might really regain its former glory and gradually affect the dominance of the five major countries.
"It doesn't look bad, but the defense and vigilance... are still too rough!"
As the most important energy pipeline, there are only three ordinary soldiers without chakra guarding it within a radius of 100 meters. There are also no other defense systems and warning systems, allowing Shangguan Mo to easily get closer. The steel pipes at the edge of the street did not attract anyone's attention.
He originally thought that even under the cover of night, it would take some time and effort to sneak into Loulan and get close to an underground pipeline that could lead directly to the power of the dragon vein. But Shangguan Mo was standing here now. It could be said that No effort was expended.
He lowered his head slightly and looked at the steel passage below his feet that was submerged into the ground. There was a door artificially left on it, but it was locked at this time.
After testing the self-destructing flies, he knew that as long as he entered through the portal here, he could go straight to the depths of the ground where they originally sensed—the place where the extremely huge chakra was!
"Meow meow meow!
——Are you going in from here? Owner! "
It was rare to see Shangguan Mo Xing being sneaky, so Ah Li's voice was inevitably curious and a little bit excited.
"Ok!"
Shangguan Mo nodded slightly.
He had actually made two preparations before. After finding the specific location of the dragon vein, if Loulan guarded the dragon vein very tightly, Shangguan Mo might be prepared to attack east and west to lure the people guarding the dragon vein away, and then wait for an opportunity to enter.
But what Shangguan Mo didn't expect was that Loulan only had such weak defenses for these most important places leading to the underground world and related to this country.
"Perhaps... this guy An Lushan doesn't want to hide his secrets!"
Shangguan Mo suddenly had such an idea in his mind.
He knew that these steel fortresses that surrounded Loulan City were actually implemented by An Lushan in the past two years after his arrival. The root cause was the use of the power of the dragon veins leaked from the ground.
Thinking in his mind, Shangguan Mo stretched out his hand and tore off the door lock that was the size of a baby's fist in front of him. He took the lock in his hand, then gently opened the iron door and walked in.
The iron door slowly closed.
If you are not careful at night, no one will be able to discover that a lock is missing on one of the thousands of pipes.
......
hum!
A slight buzzing sound sounded in front, faintly ringing in Shangguan Mo's ears.
A self-destructing fly was flying at a constant speed a few meters in front of him. Originally, the buzzing sound caused by its high-speed flapping wings could not be heard at this distance, but the environment at this time was an almost sealed steel Pipes, which allow any small sound to be infinitely amplified and continue to reverberate.
After Shangguan Mo came in, he discovered that Loulan's underground world was extremely huge. He didn't know whether it had been evolved by some kind of natural force or was created artificially later. The pipes here were arranged in a criss-cross pattern. Shangguan Mo felt that, Even if he has an extremely confidential road map in his hand, he might get lost in the endless kaleidoscope deep underground!
But fortunately there are self-destructing flies!
With the self-exploding fly leading the way, Shangguan Mo had a relaxed journey, and there was no need to worry about getting lost in the wrong way.
As the only fly that has reached the depths of the earth and is close to the power of dragon veins, Shangguan Mo has great confidence in it.
The end of each pipe is actually connected to an underground exit. Through the faint candlelight in the distance, Shangguan Mo can judge that those places are an underground hollow world. Going out from any exit is actually an independent one. small construction site.
Even if he didn't see it with his own eyes, how could Shangguan Mo not hear the knocking and metal collision sounds coming from far away? This feeling instantly reminded Shangguan Mo of the scene at the construction site he had seen in his previous life.
"Presumably, those guys are workers who were assigned to do hard labor underground..."
Waves of faint Chakara reactions came from far and near. Shangguan Mo did not walk out of the exit rashly, but still closely followed the steps of the self-destructing fly in front.
