Chapter 67 Underground Space

"Looking at the entire Jiangdu, the only ones who can accumulate so much cash are the semicolons of the major banks and chambers of commerce... Since it is hidden here, the money must not be clean..."

Zhou Shi was thinking underwater, and his body floated unconsciously.

"That's it! At that time, Huo Zhezi's Yin Fire pointed down the well not because of those hairs, but because of the silver hidden at the bottom of the well!

"The question now is, is this money related to Xu Ling'er's death? Was she killed after discovering the secret in the well? No... This speculation is based on the premise that Wu Zhaokun is the murderer. Now

You can't limit your thinking like this..."

He thought for a while and floated to the water.

"Pooh!"

The moment he rushed out of the water, he instantly lost the ability to breathe, so he had to spit out the Mermaid Tears and hold them in his hands.

"Ziqing, Ziqing..." He called softly, and Luo Ziqing's face immediately appeared at the entrance of the well.

"Pull me up!"

Luo Ziqing's face left for a while, and a furry tail hung down from it, landing one foot above the water.

Zhou Shi hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand to grab it and gently pulled it.

The tail immediately rose and took him out of the well.

"Phew! Thank you so much." After standing on solid ground, Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems like your tail can be stretched so long."

"It can be longer...what did you find?"

Zhou Shi showed what was in his arms, surprising Luo Ziqing.

"Silver?"

"Yes. I'm going to go down and fish out some more. Could you please help me from above?"

Zhou Shi put the silver on the ground and jumped into the well again.

After repeating this for more than ten times, a "silver mountain" as tall as a person appeared in the yard.

"Phew, please use illusion to cover them up so that others can't see them."

Luo Ziqing did as he was told, and a smell of fragrance came out. Zhou Shi watched helplessly as the pile of silver slowly disappeared.

"Speaking of which, I still have a question. Will the people who are enveloped in the illusion detect the illusion and break the illusion because they smell the fragrance?"

Luo Ziqing shook his head and said: "No, unless he has cracked the illusion of our fox clan once. Even so, I can adjust the concentration of the smell to avoid being noticed as much as possible."

Zhou Shi asked again: "Then if you leave here, how long can the illusion last?"

"It depends on how long the smell can last. On a windless night like today, an hour is still no problem."

One hour...is a bit short.

Zhou Shi shook his arm, threw the shark tears into his mouth, and jumped into the well again.

"It's really terrible. How much money is hidden here? Why don't we take so much money first... No, maybe the owner of the money has a way to confirm the safety of the money. He must move it all out tonight!"

Thinking of this, he became heartbroken and rushed to the bottom of the well, picking up a pile of silver.

"Huh?"

After the height of the silver dropped, the walls of the well seemed to have undergone some changes.

A hole actually appeared in the well wall!

Zhou Shi quickly leaned over and used a fire stick to illuminate the "hole", and found that there was also silver in the hole, which was as high as the silver at the bottom of the well.

"No, it's not so much a hole, it's more like a channel dug horizontally from the bottom of the well."

There was a little space between the top of the passage and the silver. He gestured and found that his body could just fit through the passage, and he immediately had the idea to see where the passage could lead.

To be on the safe side, he went back to the ground first and handed the gold wire fishing to Luo Ziqing.

"Listen, you start counting from now on. If you count to three thousand and I haven't come out yet, pull this as hard as you can."

Luo Ziqing looked at the gold fish wrapped around his finger and found it very interesting, so he immediately agreed:

"No problem, I can count a thousand!"

After hearing what she said, Zhou Shi felt unsure.

"What's behind ninety-nine?"

"Well, it's a hundred."

"What's in front of a thousand?"

"A thousand...well..."

She covered her head and thought for a moment, then said decisively: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine!"

Well, at least she knows how to count.

Zhou Shi wrapped the end of the gold fishing line around his waist. He had done experiments before and found that although the gold fishing line was thin and tough, it couldn't cut through anything. He didn't know what the secret method was to break into the door.

"I'm going down."

He returned to the bottom of the well with the Mermaid Tears and dived into the passage.

There wasn't much room for him to move in the aisle filled with silver. He couldn't kick his legs, so he could only "crawl" forward slowly with his back pressed against the top of the aisle and the silver underneath him with both hands.

Unexpectedly, the passage was very short, and he only reached the end after two pulls.

But the end of the passage is not a train of thought, but another "bottom of the well"!

Zhou Shi raised his head and found that the water on his head was bottomless again. He passed through the passage and went from one well to another!

"How complicated is this place?" He couldn't help but worry, wouldn't the person who dug the fake well be a maze enthusiast?

When the time came, he decided to explore as deeply as possible in the limited time. Anyway, he would not be unable to get out because he was entangled with gold fishing.

With a stroke of his webbed limbs, his body quickly rose upwards. Ordinary people rising rapidly in the water would definitely feel uncomfortable or even life-threatening due to their inability to adapt to the changes in water pressure. But with the blessing of the Meridian Tears, the water pressure

It has no effect on him at all.

"Puff! Crash!"

After only one stroke, Zhou Shi flew out of the water and fell back into the water heavily!

"Tsk, I got a little carried away and forgot the principle of the connector..."

Zhou Shi finally figured out the structure of the false well: it is a U-shaped connector, and its horizontal bottom is the channel, where all the money is piled.

Zhou Shi spit out her tears and tried to breathe a few times, but found that the feeling of suffocation was getting worse and worse.

"The oxygen is very thin... No, I can't breathe!"

He had no choice but to use the Merman's Tears to take a deep breath underwater and then return to the surface.

The flames of Huozhezi suddenly appeared!

There was Yin energy on this side, but it was not heavy. Zhou Shi did not dare to be careless, looked around by the firelight, and climbed to the "shore".

He raised the fire stick in his hand, and under the faint blue light, an underground space came into view.

"There is such a place underground, and that fake well is just a disguised entrance!"

He took two steps forward and looked around by the firelight.

"There are obvious traces of excavation, and several pillars were installed to support the soil above... No, this is the end of it!"

He quickly returned to the water and took another breath under the water before returning.

"Huh?"

He hadn't noticed just now that there were a lot of silky lines on the ground, as if a handful of filaments had been dragged across it... was it hair?

Did the weird long hair in the well come from here?

Looking up again, a dark figure appeared not far away. He quickly stepped forward and used a fire stick to illuminate it, and found that it was an empty coffin without a top board.

"Put a coffin under here? No wonder the yin energy is strong. No, this coffin is empty..."

Zhou Shi walked around it and touched the coffin with his hand, feeling a chill coming from his fingers and behind him at the same time.

"This coffin is still made of iron... The iron coffin is used to trap walking corpses, but it is empty now... Has the corpse not been put in yet, or after the corpse has been put in..."

This association made him shudder, and he quickly took pictures of the fire folder to make sure that there was no zombie that had escaped from the coffin staring at him in the underground space.

"Huh, don't scare yourself, maybe this coffin has never been used..."

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a "dong" sound from under Zhou Shi's feet, and a black shadow flew out from under his feet.

"Tsk, I kicked something."

The black shadow was a square object that rolled twice on the ground not far away. The lid was opened, and a tangled mass of hair rolled out.
