OBS Chapter 250: The Trap-ridden Vault
Chapter 250: The Trap-ridden Vault
The gold is hidden in the deepest part of the cave.
There's no one guarding here.
Ye Tang and the other person came in unhindered, and the first sight was a golden scene.
"Wow, this vault is more than twice as big as the previous two."
The Qiao family is indeed the richest family in the world, with wealth that can rival a country.
Really awesome!
She is even more powerful. The space has been upgraded and become much larger. Although no living things can enter, you can put as much gold as you want.
"Let's get started without further ado." Ye Tang rolled up her sleeves and began to move the gold. She needed to touch these things before she could send them into the space. She couldn't control them with her mind.
"Mechanism!" When Ye Tang went to move the gold, Junjun flew over and circled around the shelf where the gold was piled.
"It said there's a mechanism." Xiao Jingxuan walked over and carefully checked the shelf. Sure enough, he saw a mechanism. The mechanism was inconspicuous, but he saw it.
"Don't touch the gold yet. Let me check it first." Xiao Jingxuan said, and started to check the vault.
His expression was more serious than ever before. He sometimes checked the box and sometimes flew onto the stone platform.
"There are hidden weapons here. Moving the box will trigger the hidden weapons, and you will be attacked by them."
"There are hidden weapons here too. When you move the gold, find a heavy object to replace it, and you won't trigger the mechanism."
“Something needs to be replaced there, too.”
This vault was full of traps, and the bandits' methods were hard to guard against. They were really cunning, but Xiao Jingxuan was even more cunning than the bandits. It took him less than a quarter of an hour to easily find all the traps and find ways to solve them.
Ye Tang looked at him: "You seem to know a lot about mechanisms."
Jamel Xiao paused, but he didn’t hide it in the end: “My father taught me, I only understand a little bit.”
The father he was talking about was Xiao Jianan.
Ye Tang didn't ask any more questions. She followed Xiao Jingxuan's instructions and found heavy objects in the space to replace the gold.
When all the gold was stored in the space, some strange-shaped stones appeared where the gold was originally piled.
Ye Tang felt a little distressed, as she had collected these stones during her travels and intended to use them to make a rockery.
"Let's go." Xiao Jingxuan raised his hand and held her: "Don't feel bad, you can find stones later. It's better than replacing them with food."
Her space was filled with either farm tools and weapons, or food and gold. The cheapest items were these stones.
The two of them left with the parrot. Everything went smoothly. When they arrived at the stone house, Ye Tang reached out and grabbed the prison door, then pulled it down with one effort.
Everyone in the stone room was startled.
Before he could come to his senses, Ye Tang went to remove the door of another stone room.
Everyone: “…” What a terrifying power.
No, that's not the point. The point is, why did this person remove the stone door? Without the stone door, how to lock them up?
The faces of the prisoners were filled with vigilance and confusion.
"What are you all standing there for? The door is open. Come with us and run!" Ye Tang reminded them. She tugged at her clothes and said, "We are not bandits. We are government officials. These clothes are borrowed."
"Government officials?" a man asked in surprise.
The youngest son of County Magistrate Yang raised his head and asked, "Are you the one my father sent to save me?"
Xiao Jingxuan asked him, "Are you the youngest son of County Magistrate Yang of Shuicheng?"
The little boy nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, were you sent by my father?"
"Yes." Xiao Jingxuan responded casually.
The little boy suddenly became excited.
"You really were sent by my father. That's great. I knew my father would come to save me. Woohoo, I can finally leave this terrible place."
The little boy grabbed Jamel Xiao’s sleeve: “Uncle, thank you for saving me. Can you, can you, save the others too? They were all captured. She is the daughter of Landlord Zhang, and he is the second young master of Boss Wang’s family…”
He has been here for some time and is quite familiar with the people imprisoned here. He huddles together with these people for warmth and hopes every day that someone will come to rescue them.
As soon as the little boy finished speaking, those people started praying.
"Shh!" Ye Tang made a gesture to silence them. "Keep your voices down and don't alert the bandits. I've removed all the doors. Isn't this to save you? This mountain stronghold is full of traps. If you want to escape safely, you have to listen to us. You can't complain or drag your feet. Whoever dares to disobey, I will abandon him and let him fend for himself."
Those people promised that they would not run around and would follow the arrangements.
Ye Tang was satisfied, and raised his hand and said, "In that case, come with us, Junjun, lead the way."
"Oh!" Junjun flew forward immediately.
Jamel Xiao raised his foot and followed.
Ye Tang asked those people to follow Xiao Jingxuan, and she would cover their rear.
She counted the number of people imprisoned and found that there were forty-eight people in total, twelve men, twenty-five women, and eleven children.
Among the children, the youngest was only about five years old, a little girl.
Seeing that the child could no longer walk, Ye Tang carried her and walked away.
When they came out of the cave, everyone looked up and saw the bright full moon.
They couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"We finally see the light of day again!" a man said excitedly.
"Someone is coming." Xiao Jingxuan looked in one direction vigilantly.
He threw Junjun to Ye Tang: "You take them away, I will lead those people away and create some trouble for these bandits."
Ye Tang put the baby girl down and handed her to a strong man to hold. He said to the men present, "You have better physical strength. These children are young and can run too slowly. You can help and carry them. Remember, we must unite. If you don't obey, don't blame me for being ruthless."
There was a hint of coldness in Ye Tang's voice. Upon hearing this, those people said that they would definitely not cause trouble. The strong men picked up the children who could not walk or carried them on their backs. The women also supported each other or held the children's hands.
Seeing this, Ye Tang smiled with satisfaction. It was not in vain that she rescued these people. She just liked to save obedient people.
"Junjun, continue to lead the way."
Junjun flew forward immediately.
"I heard some noise over here. We can't make any mistakes in this place. We have to be careful." Five bandits came towards the cave. They were about to pull away the grass when they suddenly smelled a strange smell.
Soon, five people fell to the ground.
Jamel Xiao jumped down from the tree and slashed the necks of the five men.
Then he went to the place where the bandits were resting.
They met two patrol teams on the way, and one team went towards Ye Tang and his group.
Xiao Jingxuan glanced at the patrolling bandits and did not stop them. He ran to the residential area as quickly as possible and lit a fire.
Soon, noise was heard in the village.
"The water is gone! The water is gone!"
"Someone broke into the village and went east!"
"Ah! Something happened here, Boss!"
There was chaos in the village.
The team patrolling in the southwest direction heard the noise and immediately turned east.
As soon as they left, Ye Tang, who was hiding in the dense forest, immediately popped his head out and waved behind him.
A group of boys and girls bent over, took cover from the shadows of the trees, and followed a macaw as it continued to flee southwest.
Here, Xiao Jingxuan caught a bandit and asked about the room where Mr. Qiao Sanye lived.
As soon as Mr. Qiao San was awakened and opened the door, someone put a knife to his neck.
