RBCT Chapter 64 Investigation
Chapter 64 Investigation
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the Demon Lotus City Lord as he slowly asked, "What was that sound?"
The man pondered for a moment before speaking.
"That sound was probably similar to the sound of a weapon hitting a bluestone floor."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Demon Lotus City instantly unleashed his mental power, scanning the entire warehouse floor.
Soon, not far from the entrance of the warehouse, a bluestone slab with slightly different seams from the other bluestone slabs was discovered. The city lord of Demon Lotus City immediately made a thought.
The bluestone slab rose into the air, revealing the ground beneath.
The soil on the ground showed very obvious signs of having been disturbed.
The city lord of Demon Lotus City immediately ordered a cave commander to dig down along the trail.
Furthermore, the entire city was ordered to be sealed off. The person who took away so many resources could not possibly be a powerful individual with a storage space, as such individuals would not be interested in such a small amount of resources.
Therefore, the thief must not have gone far at this moment, and it is impossible for him to transport so many resources in front of the city gate inspection.
Therefore, the Demon Lotus City, which had just lifted martial law, was once again placed under lockdown.
Then, he glanced at Mu Yi, who understood the meaning of the City Lord of Demon Lotus City and immediately ordered the two to be dragged away.
"Lord City Lord, please spare my life!"
The two men kept begging for mercy.
However, this matter needed a scapegoat, and those two unfortunately became the scapegoats this time.
......
Soon, the seventh-rank commander followed Qin Fengqing's digging marks and connected the tunnel.
Then they went to the city lord's mansion to report to the city lord of Demon Lotus City.
At this moment, the city lord of Demon Lotus City sat in the main seat, and his gloomy face showed that he was not in a good mood. The cultivation energy stones were one thing, but the resources in the secret room were not so easy to obtain.
Those were resources he had spent a great deal of money to cultivate his subordinates, and now they were all gone. How could he not be angry?
The original plan of the Lord of Demon Lotus City was to bestow resources to stabilize the morale of the army, but now the Lord of Demon Lotus City has no suitable resources at hand.
The plan to cultivate new leaders will have to be put on hold for some time.
After regaining his composure, the city lord of Demon Lotus City looked down at the seventh-rank commander sitting beneath him.
Upon seeing this, the seventh-rank commander said, "Reporting to the city lord, I followed the soil marks and dug all the way, and finally found the exit in a house in the inner city, less than 2 kilometers from the city lord's mansion."
The dug hole perfectly avoided Lord Shenlian's roots, which is why it didn't trigger Lord Shenlian's alarm.
At that time, Lord Shenlian was controlling the Fountain of Life, and all her attention was focused on it.
Even the slightest movement wouldn't have been enough for Lord Shenlian to react, which gave the thief an opportunity.
The homeowner has been confirmed dead, killed by a single blow.
However, the missing resources from the warehouse were not found inside the house.
Another seventh-rank commander also stepped forward to report.
"I hereby inform the city lord that since the city was sealed off, patrol teams have been dispatched to search every household."
We have searched one-third of the area so far, but no missing resources have been found yet.
Not a single good news came. After hearing his subordinates' report, the city lord of Demon Lotus City's face grew even more gloomy. He shouted angrily, "Search every inch of the place! I refuse to believe that a mere thief could have smuggled so many resources out of the royal city out of thin air!"
The resources are definitely still hidden somewhere in the royal city!
"yes!"
The two seventh-rank commanders agreed and turned to leave.
The city lord of Demon Lotus City rubbed his forehead; ever since he came into contact with the powerful human beings, nothing but bad things had happened.
First, during their initial raid on the human base, they were killed by their King-level experts, including an eighth-rank Venerable and a seventh-rank commander.
They then sought support from various royal cities, but were all refused.
After stabilizing the energy channel, they intended to ambush and kill human powerhouses at the energy vortex, but unexpectedly paid a heavy price of three eighth-rank Venerables and five seventh-rank commanders.
Then the resources in the warehouse for cultivating seventh-rank commanders and eighth-rank venerables simply vanished.
The Lord of Demon Lotus City still needs to find a way to exchange for some more precious resources. Otherwise, with the current strength of the royal city, it will be difficult to even defend itself. Once it is coveted by other royal cities, it may not be as secure as before.
Moreover, there are also powerful human beings eyeing them covetously. After this battle, humanity has completely established its base, and the two sides are now quite close, so some friction is inevitable in the future.
In fact, the Lord of Demon Lotus City, being a ninth-grade King Realm expert, does possess storage equipment, but his storage space is extremely small, less than half a cubic meter in size.
This is why the Lord of Demon Lotus City was certain that the thief was not very strong and did not have any storage space. He had never even heard of a storage device with such a large storage space.
That's why the Lord of Demon Lotus City specially built a secret room in the warehouse to store those precious resources. It's not that the Lord of Demon Lotus City didn't want to carry them with him, but that his storage space was simply too small.
There's simply no place to put it.
The city lord of Demon Lotus City couldn't possibly expect to recover those resources completely. Since the other party dared to come to the royal city to steal, they must have made thorough preparations.
The fact that they managed to avoid the roots of the divine lotus and seize the opportunity while their group of high-level experts were healing shows that their plan was meticulously crafted.
Therefore, the Lord of Demon Lotus City must be prepared for both possibilities.
The Demon Lotus City Lord's storage space contains all sorts of valuable items he has collected over the years. Now, he can only reluctantly take some out to exchange for resources to train his subordinates.
......
The already uneasy Demon Lotus City was now even more terrified by the series of orders issued.
A large number of Demon Lotus City troops were deployed to conduct a thorough search of the city, forcibly entering houses and ransacking them.
They turned over all the soily areas.
Several seventh-rank commanders were also dispatched to use their mental power to investigate.
In short, they wouldn't stop until they had searched the entire place thoroughly.
......
Meanwhile, Qin Fengqing, the culprit behind the whole incident, was leisurely on his way, having already changed out of all his underground clothes.
Humming a little tune and with a smile on his face, he ran towards the human base.
Qin Fengqing quickly arrived within 20 kilometers of the base. Once he entered this area, the number of human martial artists increased.
Human martial artists are also constantly searching for underground martial artists within a 20-kilometer radius.
Alternatively, one could search for resources left behind by underground warriors in some underground villages. Even when evacuating from underground villages, the evacuation was often very urgent, so a lot of resources were left behind. This is one of the advantages of newly opened underground villages.
Compared to the Shanghai Caves, which have been open for many years, the Dongwu Caves have a large number of unharvested herbs and micro-mineral veins in the wild, unlike the Shanghai Caves, which have been plundered and left barren.
All spoils of war belong to the individual warrior; this is the benefit of pioneering new territory.
Qin Fengqing, of course, looked down on those things now, so she didn't go with them.
