Chapter 488 - Dehumidifier

While they were clearing the stack of firewood above the cellar door as fast as they can, Sword Des, said, “No one has moved them I remember how it looked e first stacked them”

Gu Fei stared at hio…”

“Can't afford to be careless,” Sword Demon answered earnestly

“Okay Unlock it!” There was nothing wrong with being earnest, so Gu Fei did not say anything in her ith the lock

It was time for the lockpicker, Svelte Dancer, that had coet to work Her hand shot out and pushed Gu Fei to the side as she proudly said, “Make way I'll get it open” That air of confidence she was showing made it see the lock

Gu Fei and Sword Demon respectfully stood to either side respectively as they leaned slightly forward, ready to ad skill in action In the end, the process they witnessed was simple; Svelte Dancer reached into her dimensional pocket and pulled out a key, which looked like a tool for opening a can of luncheon ht into the keyhole of the rusted iron lock Following this, they heard the lock unlatching and getting opened

“A!” Gu Fei and Sword Demon stuck out their thumbs toward the lady, even as they caical can-opener key

“What are the either of you looking at me for?! It's useless if you don't have the skill” Svelte Dancer rolled her eyes at the two men

The two hed Sword Dereat effort

“De…” Gu Fei saw the stairs leading down and the lance and was instantly reeway he had uncovered back in Oolong Cave as the two looked similar

“I wonder what's inside?” Svelte Dancer was a little excited

“Could this be a way to enter the Government City Hall?” Gu Fei wondered aloud If this was truly the case, that would really be rather disappointing

“Perhaps it's a way out of the backyard?” Sword De

“Let's hurry and take a look,” Svelte Dancer urged

Thus, Gu Fei searched through his pocket and took out a torch Sword Demon and Svelte Dancer stared at hih it was a very common item, not many people would have it in their possession

“It's the comiven this torch after joining their gang of nine from before

With the torch lit, Gu Fei peered into the cellar It was not particularly deep, so he began cli down the stairs with Svelte Dancer and Sword Demon in tow

The passageas extre smell, which caused the three to cover their noses even as they forged ahead

“Looks like it's sloping doard,” Sword Demon said

“Mree to remove their hands or open their mouths

The passageway slowly greider as they went on, seeht ahead, just like what he would see in a distant exit However, with how deep below the ground this potential exit was, it see them into the Government City Hall or out of the courtyard This was probably where a secret was hidden

“An exit! It's an exit!” Svelte Dancer had no wish to open herat Gu Fei's clothes to pay attention to it

“M their pace toward the light

The three soon reached the exit, and they stepped ahead into the light They found themselves in a cavernous space, a secret rooround What they saw before them left the three duest time

“What… What is this?” In the end, Gu Fei was the first person to speak He turned to Sword Deive him an answer

Sword Deht, and circle around twice before gravely shaking his head, “I don't know”

“It's a little gross…” Svelte Dancer commented

Right before the three was a hunk of a strangely shaped object It did not look like a rock, nor could it be called a crystal for at a steady rate There see within the object that was constantlywere visible on its surface, which hy Svelte Dancer's coerated

“Can we touch it?” Gu Fei took two steps closer to the object and carefully reached his hand out when he felt nothing strange happening to him

“I don't know” The other two shook their heads, even as they encouraged Gu Fei to reach out and touch it with the look they were giving

Gu Fei boldly touched the object lightly It felt cold to the touch, but aside froan tothe surface of the object leading upward Upon closer exa “These are tree roots!”

“Tree roots?” The tere stunned as they ran forward to where Gu Fei was standing

“Look This looks to be where a tree's roots have grown past the surface of the soil and eventually wrapped around this object,” Gu Fei explained

“With such thick roots, wouldn't the tree itself be huge?” Svelte Dancer asked

“I don't recall seeing any abnormally over-sized tree in the backyard,” Sword Demon added

Gu Fei carefully followed the tree roots to their source and discovered that those roots growing away froh the earth on the ceiling

“This roup of plants that coalesced into these roots we see and grew around this object's surface,” Gu Fei supposed

“So what exactly is this object?” The three were perplexed They looked and prodded, but the systeive any prompt or hint
