"Master, we have completed the excavation of the tunnel!" Blank and Mario, leading their men, stood excitedly in front of Gao Jianfei.
Currently, only 6 days of the 20-day buffer period have passed, leaving 14 days remaining. Meanwhile, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points have recovered to 132,000.
"Master, are we going to steal the Viking treasure?" Blank asked Gao Jianfei with a wink. He came to the Arctic for this treasure mainly because of it. Although the current situation was somewhat different from what he had imagined, at least he had found the treasure and was fully prepared to obtain it! To be honest, Blank couldn't wait!
He became completely aroused.
Although it was impossible for Blank to possess this treasure, he was still extremely excited that his owner had obtained it.
He had indeed come to regard Gao Jianfei as his master. To be able to deceive the Vikings and slaughter their warriors in such a wild and dangerous land as this—only Gao Jianfei could pull off something like this. Now, he's trying to steal their treasure and destroy their foundation; it seems the mere Vikings are no longer enough for Gao Jianfei to handle!
Therefore, Blank felt that sticking with Gao Jianfei was more reliable than any treasure!
"Master, why don't we pack up and find some bags or something, and take all the treasure with us!" Blank suggested.
"I'll handle the treasure myself. You guys rest for two days and then continue digging the tunnel!" Gao Jianfei smiled slightly.
"Keep digging?" Blank and Mario were both stunned.
“Okay, wait two days. I’ll draw up the map coordinates leading to the dock. We’ll dig a tunnel directly to the dock, and if things get tense, we’ll steal a boat and leave!” Gao Jianfei smiled.
"Yes, my esteemed master!" Blank and Mario both looked eager, probably addicted to digging tunnels.
After dismissing everyone, Gao Jianfei stayed alone in the tunnel, found an open space to sit down, and smoked while thinking.
“I have 132,000 exorcism points. I need to take over the 20 polar bears guarding Beckenbauer’s treasure. I estimate it will take 10 to 14 exorcism points. Since I’ve decided to take over those polar bears, I have to do it all at once. I can’t leave any of them out, lest I be exposed. Hmm, I’ll wait a bit longer and go collect the treasure tomorrow.”
With that thought in mind, Gao Jianfei left the tunnel and went back to his room to sleep.
On the second night, with 13 days of buffer time remaining, Gao Jianfei's exorcism points had recovered to 142,000. He left Li Yun and Blank in the palace while he went into the underground tunnel alone. He followed the main tunnel towards Beckenbauer's treasure chamber.
"Hahaha! Tonight, I'm going to strike it rich!" Gao Jianfei laughed triumphantly for a while, which caused a chorus of echoes. He quickly covered his mouth, chuckled to himself, and then ran wildly through the main tunnel.
Chapter 511 All Stolen
Chapter 511 All Stolen
Gao Jianfei walked alone through the deep tunnel. The tunnel was nearly perfectly dug—spacious, dry, well-ventilated, and comfortable—and even had powerful flashlights and candles for lighting. All around was silent. On the surface, since it was early morning, the Vikings should have been resting long ago (in these uncivilized cities, without electricity or any modern entertainment, all the Vikings could do was engage in some nightly sexual activity and then sleep). The tunnel was also unusually quiet. Gao Jianfei continued walking.
On the ground, reaching Beckenbauer's palace would involve navigating numerous buildings, taking several hours. However, this tunnel followed a straight line, so after more than an hour, Gao Jianfei finally arrived at the Beckenbauer palace area!
“Uh, right above us is Beckenbauer’s palace complex, hehe…” Gao Jianfei’s pace slowed down as he took out a map from his pocket and began to study it carefully.
"Hmm, this is the kitchen... this is a palace similar to a study... this is the room for Beckenbauer's maids..." Gao Jianfei deliberately slowed his footsteps, then continued walking. Finally, he stopped... "Hmm! We're here! This is the palace where that guy Beckenbauer kept his treasures! Haha!"
The map reveals that the palace housing Beckenbauer's treasure was built in a relatively secluded area, far removed from the Beckenbauer Palace complex, forming a separate building. It was guarded only by 20 ferocious polar bears. Any outsiders approaching would be torn to shreds by the bears. In fact, this reflects Beckenbauer's extreme fear of anyone coveting his treasure; he even forbade his ten closest sons from coming here.
Gao Jianfei retrieved a ladder from the ghost's lair, climbed it, and found himself on the ground. He knew he was in the garden in front of the treasure hall. There were 20 polar bears in that garden.
"Huff..." Gao Jianfei took a deep breath. He knew that an iron pipe was installed in this garden, running from somewhere underground and connecting directly to Beckenbauer's sleeping place. If there was any significant commotion in the garden, Beckenbauer could hear the sound through the makeshift iron pipe and lead his army to the scene. Therefore, Gao Jianfei had to subdue the 20 polar bears immediately and prevent them from making a sound!
Of course, Gao Jianfei currently has 142,000 exorcism points, which should be enough to deal with these 20 polar bears in one go. However, to be on the safe side, Gao Jianfei first released a group of level 1 ghosts to scout the ground.
Two minutes later, the level 1 ghosts reported back to Gao Jianfei... "Dear Gao, those 20 big guys are taking a nap..."
At Gao Jianfei's request, the Level 1 ghosts explained to him the location of the 20 polar bears and the general layout of the garden.
After hearing the Level 1 ghost's report, Gao Jianfei mentally rehearsed the events, then took a shovel from the ghost's lair...
Suddenly, Gao Jianfei forcefully dug away a clump of soil above his head and quickly stuck his head out!
Outside, a fragrance resembling that of wintersweet wafted through the air. Moonlight streamed into the garden, and the 20 polar bears were still awakened by the slightest sound!
When they opened their eyes, they discovered this uninvited guest who had sprung up from the ground! Just as they were about to roar to the sky and rush over to crush this uninvited guest into powder, Gao Jianfei had already made his move!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"
Twenty shimmering, fluorescent light spots flew out and instantly merged into the heads of the twenty polar bears!
Twenty level 1 ghosts have already begun to possess! They've already started to take over bodies!
Twenty polar bears began to bend over and make extremely painful howls... Of course, their howls were only low-decibel roars, completely different from a full-throttle roar. Therefore, Beckenbauer, who was several kilometers away, could not hear the polar bears' howls through the simple iron pipe device.
The battle for possession is getting increasingly fierce!
The 20 polar bears had even knelt down completely, their entire bodies trembling like leaves.
This situation made Gao Jianfei quite nervous... You see, these 20 polar bears were tamed by Beckenbauer, not wild ones. The success rate of possession against these bears wasn't 100%. Therefore, if any of these 20 polar bears failed to possess someone, Gao Jianfei would not only waste exorcism points, but he would also have to kill them immediately!
After a long three minutes, the 20 polar bears finally broke free from their agonizing state. Immediately, Gao Jianfei received a telepathic message in his mind...
"Dear Xiao Gao! Thank you! Thank you for giving us life! For giving us a second life!" Twenty polar bears were successfully possessed!
This time, not a single possession failed!
Twenty polar bears knelt on one knee, paying a respectful salute to Gao Jianfei. This is a human gesture of courtesy, and its appearance on polar bears does seem somewhat incongruous and even comical.
Gao Jianfei's facial expression was one of relief and a broad smile. He let out a breath, first taking 10 of the 20 polar bears into his Ghost Den special space, and then releasing the rest. Because Gao Jianfei's Ghost Den special space could only take in 10 animals per day, with only 10 slots available, it would take two more days to take these 20 polar bears into his Ghost Den space.
In order not to reveal any flaws, even if Gao Jianfei took these 20 polar bears into the Ghost Den Space, he still had to release them and take them with him when he left.
In total, possessing these 20 polar bears did indeed consume 14 of Gao Jianfei's exorcism points!
However, Gao Jianfei didn't care about his exorcism points, after all, his animal army had reached a total of 74 polar bears!
Moreover, this is a polar bear that has undergone mutation, with all its indicators enhanced by 8 times!
What does it mean to have 74 mutated polar bears?
To give an example, if Gao Jianfei wanted to be a terrorist, with 74 polar bears and the ability to put them into a special space at will and release them at will, he could launch a bloody terrorist attack in any country or city in this world!
This was a terrorist attack that was completely impossible to prevent!
Of course, 74 polar bears are not Gao Jianfei's ultimate goal; he needs more!
"K, listen up. You stay here and continue guarding, doing what you're supposed to do. When the time is right, I will take you away, or I may order you to carry out some effective sneak attacks." Gao Jianfei transmitted his thoughts to the 20 polar bears he had captured. "Hmm, I should go steal the treasure too."
After speaking, Gao Jianfei used his professional skills to refill the soil he had dug out, and then had the polar bear trample the ground flat so that no flaws were visible to the naked eye. Then, Gao Jianfei returned to the tunnel.
Their current goal is to steal Beckenbauer's treasure.
Gao Jianfei had considered that entering through the main gate of the treasure palace wasn't a very reliable method. He had just observed that the main gate was a heavy iron door with a complex and heavy lock. Gao Jianfei wasn't confident he could use his lock-picking skills to open it quickly. Therefore, he chose a more secure method… entering the treasure vault through the underground passage!
After walking along the tunnel for more than ten meters, the treasure vault was right above us.
Gao Jianfei climbed up the stairs, then shoveled away a patch of soil. There were granite stones on it. Gao Jianfei used all his internal strength to pry open the firmly embedded granite stones. Finally, Gao Jianfei created a hole in the ground and climbed up!
Surprisingly!
Warm, dazzling, colorful, and opulent light from all directions enveloped Gao Jianfei!
It's important to understand that this treasure vault contains no light sources whatsoever... no electric lights, no candles, no other light source whatsoever. The vault's ceiling is sealed, and no moonlight or starlight streams in.
However, the treasure vault is well-lit, bright, dazzling, and beautiful!
It's all the light emitted by gemstones!
All of them!
Gao Jianfei stood in the treasure vault, completely stunned!
I was completely dumbfounded!
You should know that with Gao Jianfei's extraordinary abilities, ordinary worldly wealth is completely beneath his notice!
For him, acquiring wealth and women was an easy thing. He only needed to use his power to obtain countless riches, and all sorts of women of different styles and ages could lie in his bed...
There was no need for him to stare blankly at some gold and silver.
But... this is just theory.
In fact, Gao Jianfei's mind was completely blank at that moment!
There was nothing he could do! He felt so insignificant... The entire treasure vault was as big as five Old Trafford football fields!
What does this mean?
One stadium like this can hold tens of thousands of fans; five of them... that's terrifying!
Anyone standing in such a place would feel very small.
Besides, this place isn't empty; it's filled with treasure!
Not ordinary paper money, but all kinds of precious, rare and exquisite gems!
Gold bars, silver bars, rubies, sapphires, agate, whole strips of coral, and diamonds...
You can find any gemstone that interests you here!
As the saying goes, "money makes one's eyes light up," it's human nature. Standing amidst this ocean of treasure, Gao Jianfei was truly bewildered!
He felt as if he were standing amidst the world's greatest wealth!
After a five-minute period of stunned silence, Gao Jianfei snapped out of his daze and began to stroll leisurely through the treasure vault...
As they passed a small mountain of diamonds, Gao Jianfei grabbed a handful of diamonds, his entire palm radiating an aggressive wealth.
"Whoosh..." Diamonds flowed down like fine sand. Gao Jianfei dodged to the side and continued walking forward.
He started playing with it.
Ancient gold and silver coins, egg-sized rubies, rings, necklaces...
I wandered around the treasure vault for more than two hours, playing with the items and exploring, and only managed to see two-thirds of the vault!
"Damn, I'm completely convinced!" Gao Jianfei exclaimed after putting down a pearl necklace. "These Viking pirates are truly one of the richest people in the world!"
In fact, although the treasure here currently belongs to Beckenbauer, it was not earned by him alone! It was the wealth accumulated by Beckenbauer's ancestors generation after generation!
The treasures here symbolize the golden age of Viking civilization!
Due to time constraints, Gao Jianfei dared not delay any longer. He began frantically throwing treasures into the ghost's lair.
"Damn it! They're all mine! They're all mine!" Gao Jianfei laughed in a low voice as he haphazardly threw treasures into the ghost den.
After working for more than two hours, Gao Jianfei had only managed to retrieve a very, very, very small portion of the treasures from the vault. There were simply too many treasures here; it would take Gao Jianfei quite some time to empty the entire vault.
It was already daytime, and Gao Jianfei was a little sleepy. He shrugged, preparing to go back and rest for a while to recharge before coming back to continue stealing.
He quickly cleaned up the area he had stolen from, concealing the crater he had dug with gems, then retreated into the tunnel and hurried back to his lodging.
On the way back, Gao Jianfei released a husky, sat on its back, and hurried back as fast as he could.
Back in the small hall, Gao Jianfei gave Li Yun and Blank some instructions. Then he went to catch up on his sleep. He didn't rush to tell everyone that he had already acquired some treasure.
However, before going to sleep, Gao Jianfei, through the relay and description of some level 1 ghosts, sketched out a map of his location leading to the city's docks and gave it to Blank and Mario, instructing them to begin digging a tunnel to the docks. Furthermore, 54 polar bears would assist Blank and his companions in digging the tunnel.
Blank and Mario strictly followed Gao Jianfei's orders. After breakfast, they led a group of sailor mercenaries and 54 polar bears to begin digging a tunnel, referring to the map.
