Chapter 174 - 166 Agreement
Shitou had already become adept at finding the switch.
A large secret chamber, approximately one hundred square meters and four meters high, appeared before them, stacked with dozens of boxes.
"There’s no other place, the exit is in the cellar," Shitou pointed to a spot.
"There’s actually a cellar in the house? Where?" Lu Aiguo’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Mm, in the storage room," Shitou casually said. One secret chamber below this house led to another. Who knew if there would be similar secret chambers under the houses that were originally part of this property? If there’s a chance, they should thoroughly investigate. If not, it’s no big deal. Once the level of spiritual power increases, the range of investigation will widen and everything will become clear.
"This thinking... if someone discovered the exit, would anyone searching down there just assume it was a cellar, without imagining other secret chambers beyond it?"
Xia Yuan laughed and sighed, "Just like the place we first entered, if we had lit an oil lamp, we might have thought the way forward was blocked. The same feeling would persist upon reaching the second secret chamber... and then here, if one fails to find the mechanism in any one spot, I’m afraid it would trap someone inside for good. Isn’t it like being lost in mountains and rivers without a path, and then finding a village when the willows are green and the flowers are bright again?"
"Exactly, I was really scared at first. But if the original owner themselves came down, in a life-threatening situation that huge rock would become an excellent tool for keeping out enemies," Lu Aiguo also clapped in amazement.
