Outside, everyone's hearts were hanging, feeling extremely worried for Xue Chen and Hans, and anxiously waiting for the search and rescue team sent by the group to arrive as soon as possible.
The British group also gave up searching for the treasure and prepared to evacuate.
Deep underground, the conditions of Xue Chen and Hans were not as bad as people thought. After receiving Xue Chen's help, Hans's body recovered to the best of his ability and his movements were no longer hindered.
Hans saw Xue Chen conjuring food and drink several times like a magic trick. Although his heart jumped with fright, he was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions. He just followed behind and crawled around in the cave.
, it can also be said that because of the awe in my heart, I dare not ask more questions!
From the first meeting, Xue Chen gave him a blow. When the two of them fought, he was completely crushed by the opponent's power, leaving him without any temper.
Later, he saw Xue Chen instruct Adelaide and Andrew to find the sunken ship of the Oasis, which shocked him even more. When he shot down the pirate speedboat with his own strength, he felt grateful and respected from the bottom of his heart.
.
Now, he came down to search for him alone and pulled him back from the brink of death. He no longer knew how to express his gratitude in his heart.
What's even more amazing is that his broken leg was cured inexplicably. Now he doesn't feel any pain at all, as if it had never been broken. How could he not be shocked? In addition, food and water were conjured out of thin air...
…
He also listened to some Chinese people telling oriental stories in the bar. They mentioned immortals, which gave him the impression that immortals are existences slightly worse than God, with all kinds of incredible abilities. He naturally thought of this in his mind, and the one in front of him had a picture.
Could it be that a man with a young face from the East is the so-called immortal?
"Hans, did you really hear the sound of water flowing?" When the two sat down to rest, Xue Chen looked over and asked.
Hans scratched his head: "It shouldn't be wrong, but it should be far away from me, otherwise Oni would have heard it. Unfortunately, I fell into the pit before I could find the specific location."
Breaking a piece of chocolate and putting it into his mouth, Xue Chen thought about the news brought by the Eka Group. The treasure of the Black Wolf was near an underground river. As long as he found the underground river, he would not have to worry about finding the pirates of the Black Wolf.
The treasure left behind.
But the problem is that the two of them have walked around here many times. If they were outside, they would have walked around the island several times, but they still couldn't find a way out, and they didn't hear the sound of water.
But Hans wouldn't lie, and there was no need for the expedition team member who sold the information to lie. Just because he didn't find it doesn't mean he didn't find it, and he definitely still didn't find it.
The two rested for a while, then got up and set off again.
Not far away, Xue Chen suddenly heard Hans shouting from behind: "Be careful!"
Xue Chen immediately stopped, looked around cautiously, and then looked back with questioning eyes.
Hans opened his eyes wide, pointed at a cone-shaped raised stone in front of Xue Chen, swallowed, and said: "I remember this stone, not far from the big pit where I fell, be careful where you step, that
The pit is very hidden, don’t fall into it.”
"Oh? So, you heard the sound of water near here?" Xue Chen's eyes lit up.
With Hans's reminder, Xue Chen was even more careful about his steps. He didn't walk very far along the cave corridor, and he saw the big pit where Hans fell. It was indeed very hidden, and it was in a blind spot, like a step.
When you walk over normally, you can only see it when you step over with one foot. Unless you know it in advance, you will easily fall off.
Looking down at the large mezzanine pit that was close to the mysterious god, Xue Chen glanced at Hans and said, "It was not easy to climb up."
Hans nodded with a grimace, and then said: "By the way, I also heard the sound of water when I was in the pit."
"Huh? But there seems to be no sound of water now." Xue Chen wondered, listening carefully, there was only a sparse ticking sound, which was the sound of water droplets hanging from high places dripping down. There was no rushing sound like an underground river should have.
Voice.
Hans was also confused. He clearly remembered hearing the sound of water here, but why was it missing?
"tidal!"
Xue Chen suddenly thought of a possible reason, and that was the tide.
The seawater rises and falls, forming tides, and the so-called underground river in the heart of the mountain should also be connected to the seawater, and is naturally affected by the tides. Could it be because of the ebb and flow of the tide that the sound of the water here can sometimes be heard?
Come, but sometimes I can’t hear it?
When he heard that it might be the cause of the tide, Hans suddenly slapped his head, and said angrily: "Why didn't I think of that, Mr. Xue, I think what you said is very reasonable, it should be the cause of the tide.
!”
Since both of them had determined that it might be the tide, they simply stayed here, chatting while waiting for the tide to change.
Xue Chen glanced at his watch and did a quick calculation in his mind. It had been nearly sixty hours since he came in. He really wanted to go out earlier. It wasn't that he wasn't used to it, but that the environment here was too bad and the air was humid.
My whole body is always wet and there is not even a dry place. How can I be more comfortable than a dry and soft big bed?
Hans tightened his clothes and sat down on the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his face to make himself more energetic. He glanced at Xue Chen and whispered, "Mr. Xue?"
"Huh?" Xue Chen turned his head and looked at Hans.
"I... thank you." Hans lowered his head and looked lucky. If Xue Chen hadn't appeared, his body would have been hardened by now. "I really don't know how to repay you."
"It's all over. Remember to think carefully when doing things in the future and not be too reckless." Xue Chen said in a relaxed tone.
"Yes." Hans nodded vigorously. He was silent for a while and then scratched his head. He opened and closed his mouth, closed and opened it again. This continued for more than ten minutes before finally speaking, "Mr. Xue, you
Is he an immortal?"
Xue Chen was wondering when the tide would change. He didn't hear what Hans said clearly, so he asked him to say it again. When he heard clearly that it was "immortal", he laughed.
Some words he had been holding back in his heart for a long time, Hans suddenly opened up the conversation: "I was in a tavern and heard a Chinese talk about the immortals in the East. They are very powerful. They can transform armies with a wave of their hands and stamp their feet.
The mountain collapsed..."
Xue Chen listened with a smile, and finally said: "But I don't know what you said." He wanted to conjure an army with a wave of his hand, but that would be an army by sowing beans, and the mountain would collapse with a stamp of his feet.
, he really wanted to have that ability.
"But you..." Hans was about to say that Xue Chen could conjure food and water out of thin air, and miraculously heal his broken leg, but before he could continue, another voice suddenly sounded.
Wow~
The sound of water flowing suddenly appeared, causing both Xue Chen and Hans to shake violently and look happy. It was the tide that had changed in self-defense!
The sound of water flowing was very small at first, like a child peeing, but after three to five minutes it became clearly audible, and it didn't seem to be very far away.
Both people stood up and carefully identified the direction from which the water was coming. However, the cave was curved and surrounded, and the sound oscillated back and forth, making it difficult to tell which direction it was coming from.
Xue Chen also immediately used his clairvoyance ability to look around and penetrated some surrounding stone walls, but still did not find where the underground river was flowing.
"Hey?! The water seems to be under our feet!" Hans suddenly said in surprise.
Almost at the same time as Hans squeaked, Xue Chen also realized this, because he felt a vibration under his feet, which seemed to be caused by the impact of running water.
"At your feet!"
He looked down, and this time he finally saw the crucial underground river, right under their feet, separated by a layer of stone less than one meter thick.
This underground river is about three meters wide. The amount of water is not particularly large. It is surging and causing a little bit of spray.
Remembering the general location and flow direction of the underground river, Xue Chen immediately took Hans to find the passage. But what was very frustrating was that although the underground river was close at hand, it was not easy to stand by the river.
It was easy, just like when Hans was clearly on the other side of the stone wall, and the two of them seemed to be able to touch each other as soon as they stretched out their hands, it took them half an hour to take a detour.
It was the same this time. While trying to prevent losing the direction and view of the underground river, they shuttled through the passage to find a path through which they could pass. After almost an hour, the two finally found a very inconspicuous narrow gap.
The body squeezed through.
As soon as I passed through this gap, salty and wet water mist hit my face, the sound of water flow suddenly became louder, and a few meters away in front of me was the rushing sea water.
Hans said excitedly: "We have found the underground river, we have found it!"
"Huh." Xue Chen also breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that the blind cat would encounter a dead mouse.
Now that the underground river has been found, it seems that the treasure of the Black Wolf pirates is not very far away...
The two people went upstream and walked back along the coast. Fortunately, the river was quite wide and they could pass through it normally as long as they bent down a little. Occasionally they needed to wade through the water.
The two people walked about thirty meters against the current. The shore in front of them suddenly opened up a lot. Two bright flashlights quickly scanned the surroundings. Almost at the same time, the light beams of the two flashlights shone.
At a place on the shore.
Hans seemed to have been electrocuted. His whole body was trembling, as if he was going to collapse at any moment. His face turned purple, and his breathing became rapid, like a bull. After a long time, he held back a sentence: "Treasure!"
"Treasure!"
It was Xue Chen who suddenly saw the treasure left behind by the pirates of the Black Wolf, which enjoys a great reputation in the world. He was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He finally saw the treasure of the Black Wolf! (To be continued)
