Chapter 5: The Purpose of the Third Key

"Gululu..."

Originally a turbid yellow spring, bubbles bubbled up from time to time, making the water in the puddle even more turbid.

The slender tentacles intertwined together, like a large net, reaching into the murky puddle in front of you.

When he saw the big-headed monster's huge eyeballs, he rolled his eyes and even foamed at the mouth.

Under great fear, the big-headed monster was about to faint.

On normal days, he would never go near Huangquan.

There are so many secrets hidden here.

For a low-level lonely ghost like him, it is completely a restricted area.

But now, the big-headed monster could only watch as his slender fingers penetrated into the puddle.

"Feel carefully, don't worry about what you catch, just pull it out for me!"

Behind the rocks, Ding Xiaoyi poked half of his head out and shouted.

In fact, the puddle Ding Xiaoyi chose was not deep or big. Ding Xiaoyi did not dare to venture into puddles that were too deep for the time being.

The densely packed tentacles of the big-headed monster were seen, and at this time it produced an effect that Ding Xiaoyi was very satisfied with.

Some strange-shaped things were pulled out one after another by the big-headed monster.

But when Ding Xiaoyi looked over, he found that most of them were gold and some dark corals.

After Ding Xiaoyi carefully inspected these, a smile burst out on his face.

This is all money.

Some gold nuggets the size of a human head weigh at least ten kilograms.

According to the current price of gold, only one piece of gold of such size and purity is enough for a person to live a comfortable life with no worries about food and clothing.

Oh, that's assuming you don't get sick. After all, although the Alliance Hospital has superb technology, its expenses are also staggering.

Before today, Ding Xiaoyi might have thought about how to make money.

But now, the gold that is constantly being salvaged is enough to solve any worries for myself.

The big-headed monster screamed in his heart, fearing that he would really catch something.

This was the Underworld, and there was no way of knowing how many dangerous big-headed monsters were hidden in it, but instinctively, he was in awe of the Underworld.

In fact, if he hadn't inexplicably smelled the scent of humans, he wouldn't have come close to this place.

Not only him, but also the other ghosts and monsters in the Netherworld will definitely not get close to this place easily unless necessary.

At this time, the big-headed monster suddenly felt that his palm had caught something.

The cold and biting touch made even the big-headed monster, who was also a ghost, feel his whole body tremble.

Perhaps out of fear, the big-headed monster's tense body surprisingly cooperated with Ding Xiaoyi's orders this time.

The tentacles like a big net tightened, dragging the hard object under the water back quickly.

"Quick, quick, pull back!"

Standing behind the stone, Ding Xiaoyi had a clear view and saw the big-headed monster's tentacles pulling out a shellfish object from the puddle.

The black-purple shells shone with a strange purple light in the weak light.

Not knowing what it was, Ding Xiaoyi clenched his fists and felt an inexplicable excitement.

The shell was slowly pulled up the stone steps.

After the big-headed monster completed Ding Xiaoyi's order, it jumped and ran away as if it were hiding from the god of plague.

"stop!"

Unfortunately, Ding Xiaoyi was too satisfied with the big-headed monster, so how could he let him escape?

Such a coolie is so powerful and has so many limbs, one of which is as good as ten, and I am afraid that I will never be able to find another one even if I hold a lantern.

If it runs away, your losses will be huge.

Ding Xiaoyi asked the big-headed monster to stand aside obediently, while he carefully circled the purple shell in front of him and measured it from left to right.

Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help frowning, clenching his fingers into a fist and dragging his chin, thinking about whether he should open this purple shell.

After all, it is something salvaged from the underworld.

What exactly is inside? I can't guarantee it.

But soon, Ding Xiaoyi decided to open it and take a look. On the one hand, he wanted to satisfy his strong curiosity.

On the other hand, didn’t the old man often say that you won’t know whether something is good or bad until you do it?

So Ding Xiaoyi took two steps back and said to the trembling big-headed monster behind him: "Come on!"

Big-headed monster:Σ(°Д°;)

Although the big-headed monster made inarticulate sounds of resistance, its body still threw itself honestly on the purple shell.

One by one, the tentacle claws wrapped around the purple shell, and the claws were in the gaps of the shell, and began to forcefully open the shell.

However, what disappointed Ding Xiaoyi was that even though the big-headed monster used all his strength, the purple shell in front of him remained unmoved.

Obviously, the difference in power between the two is too great.

Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi stopped trying and asked the big-headed monster to pull the shell into a corner.

Because at this time, Ding Xiaoyi had already noticed that the Huangquan, which had just receded, had begun to rise again.

The turbid yellow spring water splashed on the rocks in waves, quickly connecting with the large and small puddles.

Ding Xiaoyi stood on a high place, where he was sure he was safe, and carefully observed the gradually disappearing puddles in front of him.

The angry waves gradually subsided until the water surface calmed down again, and the strange ridges, rocks, and deep pits were completely submerged under the Yellow Spring.

The endless Huangquan in front of him finally returned to the scene he first saw.

"Thirty minutes!"

Ding Xiaoyi looked at the water and mentally determined the time from low tide to high tide.

In a very short period of time, if it weren't for the help of the big-headed monster, the most I could do was catch some gold on the edge of the underworld, and I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do much more.

Not to mention the huge purple shells that were salvaged.

All in all, it was a bumper harvest.

At this moment, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly heard a fierce drum sound in his ears.

The sound of the drums came suddenly, like a torrent of river water rushing wildly, like thousands of troops and horses rushing towards you.

Under the sound of such a majestic drum, Ding Xiaoyi realized that he was already so hungry that his chest was touching his back.

"So hungry..."

Not only was he hungry, Ding Xiaoyi also felt particularly thirsty.

Let alone food, there is no saliva here, and I am not a god.

Ben was busy working in the company until night, and he had been working here for so long.

I was already very hungry.

Although there was a netherworld and the purple clams that had just been fished out in front of him, Ding Xiaoyi had no interest in eating them.

I am a living person.

After reminding himself, Ding Xiaoyi subconsciously searched his trouser pockets with his hands to see if he could find anything edible.

With a touch of his palm, Ding Xiaoyi was stunned and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.

There are three keys, one is a silver key to open the diary, and the other is a copper key to open the large wooden box.

Only this black and thick iron key is left.

"What does this key do??"

Ding Xiaoyi looked at the black iron key and couldn't help but think deeply.

None of the things the old man left to himself were unnecessary burdens.

Since there are three keys, these three keys must have corresponding uses.

When Ding Xiaoyi put his palm on the key and studied it carefully, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly found a line of very fine writing on the key handle.

It was just too dark, so I didn't notice it for a while.

I didn't realize it until I touched it with my fingers.

【Chaimu New Home】

Although the handwriting is small, it is easy to read. Ding Xiaoyi guessed the words written on it after groping with his fingers.

"Isn't this my home?"

Now Ding Xiaoyi has regarded this place as his home.

At least for Ding Xiaoyi, this is the last gift the old man left for him, even if this home is next to the underworld.

Ding Xiaoyi touched the key with his fingers and couldn't help but murmured and thought about the words on the key.

At this moment, the key in his hand suddenly flashed.

Before Ding Xiaoyi could recover, his figure was swallowed up by the light from the key.

"Beep...squeak..."

With the harsh sound of brakes, Ding Xiaoyi subconsciously raised his palms to cover his eyes.

"You're crazy, are you looking for death?"

Hearing the curses in his ears, Ding Xiaoyi was startled. He squinted his eyes and realized that he was standing on a big road.

Although there are no pedestrians in the flashing neon lights on the street in the distance, Ding Xiaoyi can recognize it. Isn't this the pier he wants to go to?

"I...I'm back??"

Ding Xiaoyi was stunned and found that he had returned to reality from his new home in Chaimu.

It's this key!

Ding Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and when he looked at the bunch of keys in his hand, he suddenly became excited.

"Bah, idiot!!"

Seeing Ding Xiaoyi's silent expression, the driver cursed and thought he had met a fool.

This is not uncommon anyway.

After all, in this era of high speed and efficiency, there will always be a few young people who cannot bear the pressure and become fools in this steel city.

Ding Xiaoyi ignored the driver's scolding and could not conceal his excitement.

It seems that the key in his hand is the direct entrance to Chaimu's new home.

In other words, if I want to go back, I don't have to take that old hover car anymore.

When I think of that hover car that looks like it was from the last century, and the burnt smell in the car, I can't help but shiver all over my body.

At this time, Ding Xiaoyi was not in a hurry to go back.

After looking around, he quickly walked towards the pier in front of him.
