Chapter 854 - 855"You don"t use your hands, do you?" Wei Yuanwei frowned and said to the Red Guards when he heard this.
"No, we used branches!"
"That"s good. You guys try your best not to touch the things here, especially the medicine, and the Red Guards. Once you smell something strange or irritating, don"t smell it. Wei Yuanwei warned everyone.
They must have done something besides destroy a lot of things before they left.
"But after a round of searching, we found nothing!" Red Guards said, "And we don"t smell anything special either!"
"Then, what different smell did you all smell before entering?" Everyone"s smell was different. Basically, one could determine how many people had been here through their smell.
However, the Red Guards s all shook their heads. "When we first entered, we could only smell a scent. This smell has covered up all the smell!"
Wei Yuanwei and Han Yue looked at each other. They didn"t smell anything.
"What smell?"
The Red Guards thought for a moment, "We don"t know what smell this is either. It smells very light, but other than smelling this smell, we can"t smell anything else!"
Wei Yuanwei took out a handkerchief that was smoked with spice and pa.s.sed it to one of the Red Guards s: "Can you smell what this spice is?"
Red Guards took a whiff and frowned: "I can"t smell it!"
The other Red Guards s would also get the same result.
But when Wei Yuanwei handed the handkerchief to Han Yue, Han Yue frowned: "This is the scent of lilac, you all can"t smell it?"
Han Yue"s words shocked everyone, following that, Wei Yuanwei handed the handkerchief over to the other secret guards, and the guards replied with a reply that caused the air around them to feel a bone-piercing coldness.
They could all smell the fragrance of the spice, but the Red Guards could not smell anything at all.
"Those burnt drugs are to make you lose your sense of smell!" Wei Yuanwei suddenly said these words.
The crowd was stunned again. They looked at each other in dismay. How could this be?
Indeed, the smell of burning could only be smelled when Red Guards first came in. No one else could smell it, so when they were searching, the Red Guards approached the source of burning.
Therefore, when Red Guards said that the medicine was inside, Wei Yuanwei was extremely vigilant.
Those who knew medicine would choose to bury them. They would not choose to burn them, because once they did, even non-toxic drugs would produce poisonous gas.
"How do they know all this?" Han Yue felt that it was extremely inconceivable. This Red Guards was a very secretive team, and all of these Red Guards s were trained by the young master of the Evil King. No one, whether they were from the palace or the martial arts world, knew about them.
"Because you knew that the young master had some sensitive people by his side, that"s why you were able to quickly evacuate this place. Furthermore, when you were evacuating this place, you used medicine to temporarily make the Red Guards lose his sense of smell. A dim light flashed in Wei Yuanwei"s eyes as she asked Han Yue a question in reply.
At first, she thought that the person behind the scenes only knew her extremely well, but now, it seemed that the person behind the scenes also understood Mu Jin quite well.
He even knew what kind of strange skills Mu Jin had managed to train with.
Han Yue"s eyes darkened shortly after, but immediately after, he clenched his fists tightly, and said with a determined voice: "Because they are afraid that the Red Guards will follow the smell of them and find them!"
"Also, they might be people that we know and have met before. In order to avoid being recognized by the smell by the Red Guards, they used medicine to prevent the Red Guards from recognizing any of the smell!" Wei Yuanwei resolutely a.s.serted.
Calm and refined, her paint-like face was shrouded with a piercing chill.
Han Yue"s heart suddenly felt as if it had sunk to the bottom of a lake, and he shivered. Other than the people from the Clear Fire Pavilion, no one else in this world would know about the existence of the Red Guards.
Could it be that the person behind the scenes had been hiding in the Clear Glow Pavilion all this time?
Wei Yuanwei"s single sentence caused the atmosphere in the room to drop by more than ten degrees, causing everyone"s hairs to stand on end. Other than hearing everyone"s breathing, they could no longer hear anything else.
"If that"s the case, they should burn this place down before they leave!" Han Yue clenched his fists tightly, and his shoulders started trembling.
If he was the one who betrayed the clear water pavilion and the young master, he would definitely choose to burn this place down.
"Burn this place?" Wei Yuanwei"s bright black eyes drooped down, she then pursed her lips: "Indeed, according to a normal person"s logic, we will burn this place down, but who knows if there are any secret pa.s.sages under this wooden floor, or maybe they are planning to return here after we search!"
After Wei Yuanwei said this, everyone immediately bent down and started hitting him with the sword blade or wooden stick in their hands.
There was always a reason why they did not burn this place down!
Dong! A guard used his sword to knock on a wooden board next to the stone wall. Soon after, dozens of small holes appeared in the walls and sharpened bamboo sticks shot out from them.
The narrow room immediately became a mess. The dark guards raised their swords, blocking those bamboo sticks that had been shot out with thunderbolts.
"Do not come in, nor touch anything outside!" Han Yue gave his orders as he waved the sword in his hand to help Wei Yuanwei block the incoming bamboo sticks.
But just as Han Yue finished speaking, the doors and windows on both sides started to close without any symptoms, the approaching guards wanted to use their swords to cut down the wooden windows, but just as they were about to do so, they heard a clanging sound. It was not the sound of a sword hitting wood, but rather the sound of metal clanging against metal.
"There"s iron in this wood! We"ve fallen into a trap!" Seeing the exposed metal door, the dark guard"s expression immediately changed.
At the same time, another dark guard hacked at the wood beside him. Sure enough, these wood pieces were either iron or extremely hard stones.
Wei Yuanwei finally understood why these structures looked so simple and primal.
Because it"s so easy to hide iron and stone inside the wood!
At the moment the doors and windows closed, all the light was blocked outside. The room was pitch black and everyone could tell from the sounds where the bamboo sticks were coming from.
