Chapter 1248: Elite Sitting Position

The “Sound Seeker Technique” had wall-detection capabilities that far exceeded Noland Lee’s expectations.

The stone wall was about two meters thick, composed of two layers of heavy square stone bricks.

There was almost no gap between the stone bricks, not even a blade could penetrate.

Under these circumstances, the sound waves of the “Sound Seeker Technique” still penetrated the stone wall, reaching the outside of the stone wall and entering the corridor adjacent to the Treasure Room.

As for the lighting in the corridor, Noland Lee did not know as sound waves could not capture information related to light.

But Noland Lee was certain that the corridor was littered with bones, piled up more than half a meter high, which would likely be difficult for ordinary people to walk through such rough terrain.

As the sound waves transmitted further, more and more blurred scenes appeared in Noland Lee’s mind, and he faintly detected a series of hurried and somewhat panicked footsteps.

“There, about two hundred meters diagonally above my head, the footsteps are coming from there,” he said.

Noland Lee tried to turn his head toward the source of the sound, but failed due to the Power of Senati.

He gave up the attempt to concentrate on the sound source and grunted once more, releasing several more sound waves.

The footsteps temporarily disappeared; the group of presumed creatures had stopped.

About two seconds later, a very familiar sound came from above, clear enough to be heard even without the “Sound Seeker Technique.”

“Bang… Bang… Bang…”

The dense gunfire was mostly blocked by the thick walls, only leaving behind sporadic, faint vibrations by the time they reached the Treasure Room where Noland Lee was.

“A battle has erupted above… Which group from the interstellar ships that landed is exchanging gunfire with whom?” Noland Lee pondered closely.

From the sound of the battle, the combatants were using kinetic energy firearms, not excluding the use of quietly operated suppressive weapons such as laser weapons.

“Boom——”

A more pronounced explosion occurred, and a shower of dust fell from the ceiling.

This must have been the disturbance caused by explosives.

Noland Lee released sound waves.

The feedback from the “Sound Seeker Technique” stirred his thoughts slightly.

The group of creatures engaged in gunfire had suddenly closed the distance to him.

The space between them had reduced from the original vertical drop of two hundred meters to about one hundred fifty meters now.

This happened after the explosion.

So, the group was using explosivesto forcefully break through the floor of the underground building and move vertically downwards, trying to approach a target faster.

Noland Lee’s eyes swept over the gold and jewels in the Treasure Room, his skeleton face subtly changing color…

Those guys wouldn’t be coming for him, would they?

No, more precisely, they would be coming for the treasure beside him.
