Chapter 385: Chapter 250

The sound of gunshots broke the spell chant that was as melodious as a song.

It also suddenly awakened the others who were lost in ecstasy and wandering thoughts.

They seemed to wake from a deep dream, first slightly taken aback, then their eyes quickly converging on the stone platform.

The dazzling gold light seemed to ignite a fire called "greed" in everyone’s hearts.

Without Fang Cheng’s reminder, everyone understood a simple principle.

As long as they took out the last obstructive black-robed figure, they could seize the long-awaited Golden Benba Bottle!

Immediately, almost everyone simultaneously started running at full speed toward the stone platform in the center of the secret chamber.

Each one grimacing, eyes wide like copper bells.

As if any moment of delay would cause them to miss out on the treasure.

The entire scene was like wolves pouncing on prey, filled with madness and impatience.

Seeing the treasure hunters swarming in, Lu Shihua suddenly clasped his hands into fists and chanted softly:

"Urgently, by the command of law!"

The black curse texts continued to twist and flow in the air, endlessly pouring into the golden sphere of light.

The three black-robed men who had been shot and fallen suddenly jumped up straight.

Their eyes were wide open, faces dull, the bullet holes on their foreheads clearly visible, with faint black blood seeping out.

Suffering from such fatal injuries, these people did not die; instead, they pounced on the treasure hunters.

They moved with great agility, immense strength, and very resilient bodies, instantly disrupting the crowd’s formation, prompting a tumult of curses and shouts.

Taking advantage of the obstructed offensive, Lu Shihua quickly retreated and reunited with Lu Tao, who had long since hidden at the back door.

The two exchanged a glance, unlocked the door behind them, and quickly disappeared into the dark passageway.

It seemed they felt powerless to salvage the situation and thus planned to abandon the Golden Benba Bottle to prioritize their own safety.

At that moment, chaos reigned in the underground vault, with shouts and sounds of fighting intertwined.

The crowd was busy vying for the treasure, unable to pay attention to the movements of the Lu Family members.

Fang Cheng, seeing the hurried retreat of Lu Tao and the black-robed figure, felt his unease deepen.

So he immediately turned to the person beside him and whispered:

"You all should retreat from here immediately and temporarily abandon the original plan!"

Lord Bao, who was keenly preparing to engage in the fierce battle for the treasure, was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. His eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked:

"What? We’re not going to compete for the Golden Benba Bottle anymore? How can this be? We’ve worked so hard to find this opportunity! Are you planning to go alone?"

As he spoke, his body involuntarily froze, and his fighting spirit seemed extinguished by a bucket of cold water.

Black Wolf also looked puzzled, but due to his trust in Fang Cheng, he suppressed his inner doubts and asked:

"White Ghost, did you discover the Lu Family is up to something in secret?"

Fang Cheng gazed at the chaotic scene before him, his expression slightly serious:

"I can’t say for certain, but ever since stepping into this manor, there’s been a lingering ominous feeling, as if countless eyes are watching us from the shadows."

Lord Bao and Ah San exchanged bewildered glances, clearly finding this sudden premonition difficult to comprehend.

However, Black Wolf and Xiao Bei nodded slightly, as they also vaguely shared this unsettling feeling.

It’s not about rational analysis or judgment but purely an instinctual warning akin to animal intuition.

"Lord Bao, take Xiao Bei and Ah San and retreat from the underground vault, keeping guard outside."

Black Wolf promptly advised the others before turning to Fang Cheng:

"We’ll stay here and act as the situation demands. If support is needed, we can contact each other through radios."

Though unaware of precisely what dangers might lurk, out of responsibility and duty, he chose to stay and accompany Fang Cheng.

However, Fang Cheng gently shook his head, firmly reiterating:

"You all need to hurry and leave; I’ll catch up quickly."

Black Wolf opened his mouth but hesitated to speak.

Recalling Fang Cheng’s earlier display of skillfully dodging bullets amidst gunfire, he ultimately refrained from asking further.

The group then executed the revised plan and swiftly retreated from the embroiled underground vault.

Lord Bao, filled with reluctance, looked back each step at the dazzling glow of the Golden Benba Bottle, his mind racing with thoughts.

If he stayed outside and waited for those inside to fight to mutual exhaustion, there could still be an opportunity for a comeback.

With that thought, his heart eased somewhat, and his feet moved slightly quicker.

As Black Wolf and the others quickly departed through the passage, Fang Cheng scanned the surroundings.

He noticed a few others, like himself, choosing to stand at a distance in cautious observation.

Among them were the peculiar Nail Head and the mysterious man of uncertain origins.

"Do you two have any plans?"

Fang Cheng proactively approached the mysterious man and inquired, his gaze shifting to the middle-aged man standing behind him.

The Professor was evidently surprised that Fang Cheng initiated conversation, his expression momentarily halting.

However, he quickly recovered and responded with a question:

"What about you? Why aren’t you competing for the treasure with them?"

Fang Cheng shook his head and then frankly replied:

"I find it odd that the Lu Family leaked the information this time. Attracting so many people here yet not deploying enough defensive forces, something unusual must be intended."
