The outer layer of boxes is made of wood and is mainly used to protect the shipping. After tearing off the seal and pushing open the lid, there was another layer of boxes inside, but it was made of iron. The iron and wood were tightly stuck, so Hu Zhuo tried a few times and simply removed the outer wooden board.
The storekeepers diligently packed the wooden boards and stacked them against the wall.
"Senior brother, this iron box looks very heavy, and it doesn't even have any seams. What is this?"
Hu Zhuo looked around a few times and smiled: "This is a trap box."
The disciple guarding the store nodded repeatedly. It's a trap box, so you can't see it.
Speaking of which, the art of mechanism is not mainstream in the Xiaoli world, and no sect as big as Chaohua Sect has delved into it.
Those who study mechanism techniques have only heard of Qianji Pavilion.
"Senior brother, how do you open this box? What should be put in this kind of box?"
Hu Zhuo smiled and said: "This box itself is a gift."
It was a very nice gift to him. Brother Chun was really kind to him.
Hu Zhuo squatted down, carefully observed the structure, and began to solve the puzzle.
There were no customers in the store at the moment. The disciple who was guarding the store was facing him across the box, moving as he moved. There was no crack in this thing. Can it really be opened?
After watching it for a long time, Hu Zhuo tentatively patted the box here and there and pressed it there.
The disciples guarding the store were confused and couldn’t understand it at all.
After knocking on all five sides and finding nothing, Hu Zhuo stared at the ground thoughtfully: "Stay back and I'll turn it over."
Lift it with both hands, okay, but it’s so heavy without lifting it?
"Brother, let me help you. Four strong men worked together to carry it in."
The two of them used their strength to successfully push the stable box. Come on, stand the bottom up.
Hey, this side is full of seams. The seams on this body are all the way to this side. I should have turned it over first.
The disciples guarding the store felt that this was intentional on the part of the sender. Playing tricks on people.
Hu Zhuo frowned, that shouldn't be the case. Why is there only one side with no seams on the other sides? What kind of agency is this? Does it look like a multi-pleat bun that is pinched in all directions?
Hu Zhuo squatted down to dig at the seams. The storekeeper held his knees and glared: "It looks hard. I'll get you a chisel." After saying that, he walked to one of the shelves.
The items in their grocery store are miscellaneous, and they are all second-hand goods that are not used by Chaohua Sect disciples. The collections of young disciples are diverse, many of which are things that are not used on daily basis and are products of impulse consumption.
At this moment, Hu Zhuo dug his fingers into a deeper seam. There was a half-moon arc at one end of the seam, like a button. Hu Zhuo pressed it without thinking.
The disciple who got the chisel turned around: "Master——ahhhh——"
The big black box suddenly unfolded and rushed towards Hu Zhuo. The speed was so fast that Hu Zhuo had no time to react before he was swallowed in one gulp. The hard texture suddenly turned into hard leather, and the human figure was wrapped around it and struggling on the ground.
There was a clang, and the chisel fell to the ground. The disciple who was guarding the store had a stiff mind but instinctively took out his sword and struck it with his hands.
Pa—choking—
The tip of the half-sword fell to the ground.
This, this, this——
The disciple who was guarding the store shouted: "Come quickly, help, the monster is eating people——"
He threw himself at the door of the store and shouted twice before he came to his senses and immediately contacted the patrol of Baopingfang Team: "Come and help, Hu's grocery store, the monster is eating people——"
I think it's wrong, I have to contact the sect. : "Come here, senior brother Hu Zhuo was plotted against someone. He was in the grocery store——"
He held the communication jade and walked around in circles: "No, no, no, no, I, I, I have to contact aunt, yes, aunt, aunt Aunt——I can’t contact you!”
How could he have Hu Qing’s contact information?
Just send a group message: "Senior Brother Huzhuo was eaten by a monster in the grocery store. Who can tell my aunt that I can't survive——"
As soon as the messages were sent out, a group of people gathered at the door of the store. Fortunately for him There was still reason to stop the people, and he glared with big eyes: "No one can enter except those who belong to Chao Huazong!"
The Hu's grocery store is quite famous, and they are afraid of Chao Huazong, so people who eat melons stopped outside the threshold and faced each other. He pointed inside.
The disciples guarding the store were milling around on the ground at the door, not coming yet, not coming, not coming yet -
People are coming. The patrol arrived first: "What - something?"
I was going to ask what was going on, but I was stunned when I saw something on the ground in the house.
The original black square box suddenly exploded and was cut into pieces, and now it has turned into a long, flat and wide box with a bulge in the middle - I don't know what it is.
It's still motionless!
Could it be that Senior Brother Hu Zhuo inside——
Before the disciples guarding the shop could explain a few words, someone from the task hall also came, but it was Yin Ning who led the team.
“What is this?”
The disciple guarding the store opened his mouth to say something, but the air twisted and Wen Chuan jumped out.
Yin Ning: "Senior brother?"
Wen Chuan looked at the ground: "What is this?"
"Let me speak!" The disciple guarding the store raised his hand, requesting that he be allowed to finish all at once this time.
Waiting for him to finish -
"So who sent this?"
"I don't know." The disciple guarding the store was confused: "I see Hu Zhuo Senior brother's expression seems to indicate that he knows."
Wen Chuan: "Didn't you ask him?"
The disciple who was guarding the store was short of breath for a moment. I am just a hired worker who guards the store. Besides, it is not polite to ask people about their personal affairs.
Yin Ning was already checking the weird thing, and she reached out to touch it.
“Don’t touch.”
“Don’t touch.”
The storekeeper disciple and Wen Chuan spoke out together.
"Senior Brother Hu Zhuo was suddenly eaten when he was picking at the seams on his head." The disciple who kept the shop asked Wen Chuan for instructions: "Should we tell Auntie?"
Wen Chuan's scalp felt tight, and he Contact his master immediately for instructions.
Immediately, Yu Liuya came out of the air, frowning and looking at that weird thing, which he had never seen before.
The disciple who was guarding the store was very excited when he saw the sect leader: "That, senior brother Hu Zhuo said it was a mechanism box."
A mechanism?
Yin Ning immediately thought of something: "Did Liu Yang of Qianji Pavilion look for him before?"
The disciple guarding the store: "Ah? I don't know."
Yu Liuya He lowered his face: "Has Liu Yang been here?"
Wen Chuan Report: "I've been here before. I showed up at the task hall in Fangli and tried to win over Hu Zhuo, but he refused. The group stayed for a few days, and when they finally left, Liu Yang took away a child of the Zhong family."
"She must have done it." Yu Liuya said bluntly.
Wen Chuan: "." Although I think so, are you too arbitrary?
He said: "Master, do you want to tell my little uncle?"
"Your little uncle is in retreat. We just need to rescue Hu Zhuo."
He It was sensed that Hu Zhuo was still alive inside, but the situation was not good.
Yu Liuya stretched out his hand to cover it. His spiritual power and consciousness were probed at the same time. He frowned and was bounced back. What kind of material is this?
He couldn't recognize it. He took out his sword and slashed at the edge. There was a clang. The sword was fine, and neither was the strange thing.
He pondered for a moment, then wrapped it in his spiritual power and lifted it up. He was surprised to find that this thing was quite heavy.
"Go back to the sect."
The grocery store was closed, and in less than a day, rumors of a man-eating monster appeared in Baopingfang spread everywhere, even in the mortal area. Everyone knows that many people are keeping their children at home and are not allowed to go out, and people are panicked.
But all the powerful people in the Chaohua Sect were helpless against the strange thing.
