Tiger Roars in China

The farmhand immediately replied, "Mr. Yang, the owner is in the basement, checking the preparation of the thunder bomb."

Li Meng waved her hand and said, "Take me to see it."

Of course the farmhands knew that Mr. Yang had the same status as the owner of the farm.

So without saying a word, he took Li Meng and went to the basement.

Chaohu Manor is completely isolated from the world.

Therefore, the matter of the thunder bomb was known to everyone, and there was no need to keep it secret.

Besides, even if these servants knew the secret, they couldn’t spread it out!

Moreover, the real formula of gunpowder in the thunder bomb is only known by a few core figures in Chaohu Manor.

Even though Yang Chenzi controlled the entire Chaohu Manor, he still had not obtained the formula for gunpowder.

Of course, the owner of Chaohu Manor must be one of those who knows the formula of gunpowder.

This Chaohu Manor is like a village on an island, completely hidden in the dense jungle.

When the village was built, the original appearance of the island was not destroyed.

All the plants, bamboos and stones on the island have been preserved.

Even when building the houses, not too many trees were cut down. All the houses were built under the big trees.

Firstly, it can avoid wind and sun and extend the life of the house.

Secondly, the house is perfectly hidden. Unless you get close, you can’t tell that it is a house.

However, in Li Meng's opinion, the first owner of Chaohu Manor must have been avoiding being hunted down by his enemies, which is why he made this place so secluded?

The basement is under a big tree in the center of Chaohu Manor.

No one knew what kind of tree it was. The trunk was dead, but there were still many lush branches and leaves growing from the dead trunk.

Looking at the trunk of the tree, I'm afraid even a dozen people wouldn't be able to hug it.

Although it is dead, it is still the king of trees standing there.

Following the farmhand, Li Meng couldn't help but look at the king tree again.

Standing in front of it, it doesn't look like a tree, but clearly a wall.

Since the tree trunks are already dead, there will certainly be a lot of tree holes, so we have to drill more tree holes.

This king tree is the center of Chaohu Manor and also the earliest Chaohu Manor.

Because the tree had died a long time ago and was hollow inside, it was transformed into a huge tree house.

The first few people who established Chaohu Manor lived here.

There are not only excavated stairs inside, but also wooden houses built with planks and a very hidden lookout.

In the center, they dug deep and built a huge basement.

It was originally used by several pharmacists for experiments, and was later converted into a warehouse.

With the discovery of gunpowder, this basement became a restricted area, mainly used to store gunpowder ingredients and for several pharmacists to prepare gunpowder.

Since Yang Chenzi controls Chaohu Manor, this restricted area is of course open to him.

Besides, Yang Chenzi brought a lot of new things from outside to the people here, so he is very respected by the people here.

The farmhand brought Li Meng to the tree hole and stopped.

"Mr. Yang, this is a restricted area. I can't go in. Please go in by yourself."

Li Meng nodded and took Fu Shou Lu Xi into the tree hole.

It is called a tree hole, but in fact it is just a very spacious door.

As soon as Li Meng entered, several swords and knives were pointed at him, with several bows and crossbows on top.

The guards in Chaohu Manor are also very insidious.

They never patrol in the open, but always hide in the shadows and launch sneak attacks.

Li Meng glanced at the others and shouted unhappily, "It's me, can't you see that?"

Several people quickly put down their swords and bowed to Li Meng, saying, "Mr. Yang, we didn't know it was you."

These people have been in the manor for a long time, so of course they know who they can and cannot mess with.

Mr. Yang is a very arrogant person, and he is very skilled in using poison. Even if someone offends the owner of the manor, he cannot offend Mr. Yang.

Otherwise, if he poisons me, who knows who can detoxify me?

Li Meng snorted and asked, "Where is the owner of the manor?"

Several people quickly said, "In the warehouse in the basement."

Li Meng was about to go downstairs with Fu Shou Lu Xi but was stopped.

One of the small leaders said with some embarrassment, "Mr. Yang, this basement is a restricted area. You can go down, but they can't."

Only then did Li Meng realize that the three people, Fu Shou Lu, were also people in this manor in their transformed form.

So, Li Meng waved his hand at them and said, "You guys go and do your own things. As for the thunder bomb experiment, I will talk to the owner of the manor."

Leaving Fu, Shou, Lu and Xi behind, Li Meng went straight down to the basement.

As soon as he went down, Li Meng smelled the smell of gunpowder.

It's not just the smell of gunpowder, there's also the smell of various other medicinal herbs.

The formula of gunpowder that Li Meng knew seemed to be only charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter, but Li Meng couldn't remember the specific ratio.

But it seems to contain more charcoal and less sulfur and saltpeter. Otherwise, how can it be called black powder?

However, the gunpowder formula here seems to contain a lot more medicinal ingredients.

Li Meng walked along the corridor, looking around.

Although the basement is huge, it doesn't feel big because it is divided into warehouses.

Based on the scent and odor emanating from each warehouse, Li Meng could tell that most of the materials stored there were various medicinal herbs.

Not everyone can enter the warehouse, so the guards here are tight on the outside but loose on the inside.

In the warehouse, except for a few important people, no one else has the authority to enter.

When Li Meng saw gunpowder for the first time in another world, he couldn't help but have wild fantasies.

Can I also travel through the alien world with the help of muskets and cannons?

Therefore, Li Meng relied on his keen sense of smell to find the warehouse where sulfur and saltpeter were stored. While no one was noticing, he quietly put some of the sulfur and saltpeter into his storage ring.

Unfortunately, his gong could not be opened.

Otherwise, he could have completely emptied the warehouse here.

In fact, Li Mengke is really throwing away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.

There are many very precious medicinal materials stored here, but Li Meng doesn’t recognize them at all.

Smelling the pungent smell of gunpowder, Li Meng was walking in when he suddenly heard a eerie voice.

"Yang Chenzi, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Meng looked up and saw Pu Xiu, the owner of Chaohu Manor, wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, walking towards him step by step.

Li Meng immediately sensed something was wrong. He stopped, stared at Pu Xiu, and asked, "Master Pu, what are you waiting for me to do?"

Pu Xiu grinned and said, "Go to hell!"

Pu Xiu's action made Li Meng scared to death, and a torch appeared in his hand!

You know, this is where gunpowder is stored!
