"Wait a minute, it seems like you can do without a dagger. Su Qingqing, who had been silent, was standing by the wall, and in front of her were all kinds of thick and thin pipelines.

"What?" Huo Chi raised his head and looked at Su Qingqing, only to see that the girl was carefully twisting a valve.

"Be careful, that valve could be an air valve. Xiao Jian had a slight understanding of the mechanical structure of the ship, and he saw that Su Qingqing was turning the valve, worried that it would cause steam leakage, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it: "These things can't be moved." ”

"It's not messing around. Su Qingqing actually had several valves in front of him, these valves were large and small, and they were of different colors, and if they were not regular ship mechanics, they might not be able to tell what these things were used for.

However, Su Qingqing seemed to be very confident and said: "Look, I can't screw the other valves at all, but this one can be easily turned, what does this mean?"

"This means that the line controlled by this valve needs to be adjusted frequently, or it is often faulty. Xiao Jian muttered to himself but patted his head: "I understand what you mean, you mean, this valve may be controlling the iron plate?"

"Possibly, I'm just guessing, otherwise it's too coincidental that these valves are so close to that side?"

"Then try it. Xiao Jian glanced at Fu Ze and Huo Chi, and saw that both of them agreed, so he continued to turn the valve with Qingqing.

The two worked together, and the valve was easily turned several times, and just when Huo Chi felt whether the screw of the valve was loose, the iron plate at his feet made a "snap" sound.

"It's open?" Everyone heard the sound, and Xiao Jian and Su Qingqing also stopped turning the valve and walked to the side of the iron plate.

"It doesn't seem to be opened directly, is there any other mechanism?" Huo Chi pressed his hand around the iron plate a few times, but he heard a snap again!

The iron plate finally opened slowly, and it seems that the iron plate that was used as a hatch was not only locked with a valve, but also opened in a different way than other equipment doors.

"What's down there?" the captain stretched out his head to look down, only to find a piece of the exposed space black hole, and he couldn't see what was underneath.

Huo Chi immediately took out the flashlight in the saddle bag, turned on the flashlight and shone it downward, but after seeing it clearly, his brows were tightly furrowed.

"What's next?" Fu Ze saw that Huo Chi's face was not good, and he quickly took out a flashlight to shine it downward, but this look made him gasp.

It turned out that, as everyone in the Snow Leopard Team had guessed, the Demon Protection Society had indeed transformed the pressurized water tank!

Beneath the iron plate is a converted pressurized water tank, and now, in this huge rectangular pressurized water tank, there is not a single drop of water. On the contrary, it is the children they have been looking for.

It's just that now these children are lying at the bottom of the pressurized water tank, seemingly silent, and beside them, there are actually two small magic palace roses that are emitting pollen.

"Are they still alive?" Su Qingqing frowned and looked down, very worried.

"I'll go down and see, and you'll wait for me up there. Huo Chi grabbed the flashlight in his mouth, ready to go down through the entrance.

"The pollen concentration below is very high, do you want to eat some more herbs?" Fu Ze said in a deep voice: "These guys from the Demon Protection Association are really hateful, such a young child has to be poisoned, you have to be careful." ”

"No problem, I just ate some herbs, and I can resist it now. Huo Chi stepped on the horizontal bar of the iron ladder, used his hands and feet together, and walked to the bottom of the pressurized water tank step by step.

To be honest, the smell here is not good, and apart from the sweet smell of pollen in the air, the air here is also quite dirty.

I don't know how long these children have been here, the pressurized water tank is relatively sealed, and with only the thin slit of the iron plate on it, Huo Chi feels that it can't meet the oxygen needs of these twenty children.

Alas, what kind of world is this, the eldest of these children looks fifteen or sixteen years old, and the youngest is only four or five years old.

The little ones are now lying on the ground one by one, and I don't know what happened. Huo Chi hesitated for a moment, then leaned down to test their snorts.

Whew—it's okay!

Huo Chi found that although these children were motionless and their breath was very weak, they were still alive after all! It seemed that they were just poisoned by the Demon Palace Rose, and they should not be worried about their lives except for falling into a state of paralysis.

Moreover, the Demon Palace Rose paralyzes the body and lowers people's metabolism, which allows children to survive longer in this relatively closed environment.

Huo Chi shook his head slightly, no wonder he didn't hear any children's voices when he walked around, it turned out that they were all paralyzed by the pollen of roses, and of course it was impossible to make any noise lying here.

However, those who have been paralyzed by the Rose of the Demon Palace should still be able to retain their consciousness, they cannot move their bodies, and their hearts must be full of fear when they are locked up in this dark place, right? Alas, poor children, if only I could have rescued you sooner, I don't know how long you have been in this claustrophobic place.

"How's it going? Are they still alive?" Fu Ze poked his head out and asked in a low voice.

"I'm still alive, but they're all poisoned, and I'm going to detoxify them now. ”

"It's great to be alive, thank God. "Fu Ze's hanging new has finally landed, fortunately these children are still alive, otherwise I can't imagine it!

"I'll come too. Hearing this, Su Qingqing simply walked down: "Give me some antidotes, and I'll save them with you." ”

"Hmm. Huo Chi pretended to take out a large handful of herbs from his saddle bag, and after giving half of them to Su Qingqing, he first walked over to an older boy.

He squatted down and lowered his voice and whispered in the child's ear: "If you can hear it, please don't be nervous, we are sent by Mr. White Fox to save you, we will give you the antidote now, if you can move in a while, please keep quiet, don't alarm the guards outside." ”

After saying this, Huo Chi put a ball of antidote into his mouth, and after he chewed it slightly, he stuffed the chewed antidote into the child's mouth: "The situation is urgent, I can only chew it to you with my mouth, don't dislike it." ”

The children didn't know how long they had been paralyzed, and Huo Chi knew that their ability to swallow must have been affected as well, so he had to chew herbs before stuffing them into his mouth.

Fortunately, after chewing the paralyzing herbs, the active ingredient mixed saliva can be well absorbed by the mucous membrane of the mouth, so that when he gently lifted the boy, he was already able to move.
