Chapter 124: Yuanyuan's Crystal Tomb 3

  Wen Baiyu looked around and didn't see Mo Jue, so he immediately wanted to go after him. Dong Hai stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: "Wait a minute, if the forest is really changing, it's better not to rush out."

  Wen Baiyu also knew that if she went out, she would likely get lost, but Wan Jingshou was already outside. The outside was dark and dense with trees, making it impossible to see where people were.

  Wen Baiyu looked towards Ming Gui, and Ming Gui also came out of the mountain cave, standing outside, narrowing his eyes to scan this forest.

  Wen Baiyu said: "What's so special about this forest? Can't we analyze the pattern of change?"

  Ming Gui immediately shook his head and said, "Cannot."

  His words almost killed everyone else, but Ming Gui continued to say: "The change in this forest should be man-made and there is no rule."

  "Are you saying someone is in control?"

  This time, Ming Gui nodded quickly and said, "That's exactly what I mean."

  The white feathers are also different, which means that there are people on this island, and they have been controlling the changes in the forest all along?

  Just as everyone was silent, the sound of "shasha" came from deep in the woods. Wen Baiyu fixed his eyes and saw a figure rushing towards them like a wild cow, stirring up dust on the ground, running extremely fast, almost making it hard for everyone to see clearly.

  Xie Yan and An Ran both had thin skin, after a fixed glance, their faces suddenly became a bit unnatural and they turned their heads away.

  The ninth life opened his curious eyes and said: "Huh? There are actually people on this island? Are they savages?"

  All they saw was a stranger running towards them like a wild buffalo, with not a single piece of clothing on his body, without even covering his private parts. His entire bronze-colored skin glistened with a hint of ancient copper glow, and his physique was extremely tall and robust, almost rivaling that of Luo Qi Feng's.

  That man ran very fast, with short hair that looked like a hedgehog's, a pair of sharp eyes, and nostrils that were slightly large, like those of an ox. His mouth had a somewhat eagle-like shape.

  The little ones curiously looked at the person running over, Xiao Xue Hua quickly covered Xiaoyu's eyes with her own flowers, and Xiao Zhu Long also stretched out his hand to cover Egg's eyes, as if it was impolite to look.

  That person ran over, with a "rustling" sound behind him. Wen Baiyu took a closer look and it was actually Wan Kuang Jing Hou.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou ran over from behind, also very fast. Wan Qi Jing Hou was a bit taller than that person, but apparently he was thin in clothes and had substance without clothes. In comparison with the person running in front, it set off the grandeur of the person in front even more.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou quickly ran over, then narrowed his eyes and suddenly jumped up, "Dong!" His foot directly stomped on the back of the person in front.

  That man had a muscular build, with dark bronze skin and a tall, sturdy physique. As a result, he was kicked out by Wan Qi Jing Hou with one foot, immediately bending his legs and kneeling on the ground with a "gudong" sound. Then, along the forest land, he rolled up with a "susu" sound, rolling all the way to the entrance of their cave.

  Wan Qi Jinghou ran over and said: "Catch him."

  That man rolled over, saw so many people, and immediately jumped up from the ground. Although he was tall and big, his body seemed to be very flexible, and he suddenly jumped up and was about to attack the crowd.

  Ming Gui's first reaction was to press his hand against the back of his own hand, and then he heard two "whooshing" sounds as golden needles shot out. With a loud "thud", the tall man fell to the ground again.

  This time, he didn't roll on the ground, but instead fell to the ground and convulsed non-stop. He lay sideways on the ground with several golden needles stuck in his neck and hands. His entire body was convulsing, all his muscles were stiffened and bulging, his eyes turned white, and even foamed at the mouth.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou then walked over from behind, took a look at the man on the ground and immediately said: "The person who was just outside is him, bring him in."

  Everyone did not expect that the person who was sneering outside just now would actually grow up to be like this, and it seems like he is still a savage, without even wearing clothes.

  The crowd carried the man in and, so as not to make the thin-skinned people too uncomfortable, they threw a blanket over him, covering up the essentials.

  Ming Gui then reached out and pulled out all the golden needles stuck in his body. As soon as they were pulled out, the man let out a loud "ah!" of pain, his entire body jerking up, almost throwing off the blanket that was covering him.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but touch her own neck, although it was just a small golden needle, but it felt so painful.

  As soon as he woke up, seeing so many people in front of him, his eyes were immediately filled with vigilance. He suddenly sprang up and was about to attack again. Ming Gui's golden needles had not been put away yet. With a flick of her wrist and a tap of her fingertips, the golden needles shot out, "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

  That tall figure "thudded" and knelt down in front of everyone, his hands also unable to move, only constantly trembling, his mouth like holding an eggplant, drooling on one side while saying: "What kind of people are you!"

  Everyone looked at each other in surprise, it turned out this person wasn't a savage? He could speak their language.

  Ming Gui didn't pull out the golden needles from his body, he reached out and tapped him on the forehead, the tall man directly sat down on the ground, still maintaining the kneeling motion, looking very uncomfortable.

  The ghost kicked up a rug from the ground and threw it over the man.

  The bright ghost said to others: "If you want to ask something, you can ask now."

  "Wen Baiyu immediately said: 'What kind of person are you?'"

  The man, who looked a bit like an ox's nose, let out a low hum, revealing sharp tiger-like teeth and eagle-like lips, with the upper lip slightly pointed and drooping downwards, but somehow it didn't look awkward at all. Coupled with his ancient bronze-colored skin, he actually looked... sensual?

  The man seemed to ignore their questions, at this time Ming Gui suddenly pressed a finger on the back of his hand, a golden needle "swished" out, because it was not pressed too hard, the golden needle only exposed a tip, Ming Gui slowly pulled the needle out bit by bit, with the firelight in the cave, the golden needle was still shining.

  The man took a glance and suddenly felt a chill, bared his tiger-like teeth as if trying to intimidate others, but finally said: "I'm the one who lives here, who are you people!"

  The curious Jiu Ming said: "You live here? That's the mechanism you've been moving around here all along?"

  The man took a glance at Jiǔ Mìng, whose ears and tail were still intact. The man was startled, and Jiǔ Mìng swung his tail, scratching Dōnghǎi's nose, saying: "Is my tail that scary? I think it looks pretty good."

  Donghai was annoyed, grabbed the tail of Jiǔ Mìng and pinched it lightly at the root, Jiǔ Mìng suddenly let out a loud "ah" and fell to the ground, his voice still trembling, perhaps because of his current physical condition, he felt particularly sensitive, and with Donghai's pinch, he directly fainted.

  Everyone was shocked, and immediately turned red with a strange man who was also frightened, with a reddish tint on his ancient bronze skin, as if he was also a little embarrassed, but still showing a fierce look, saying: "What mechanism? I am the person living here, don't know what you are talking about, and that person, saw me and hit!"

  He said, because his body couldn't move, he could only stare at Wan Jie Jing Hou with his eyes.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou stood beside Wen Bai Yu with his arms around him, coldly staring at the man. The man was stared at by him and seemed to be a bit intimidated, so he could only withdraw his gaze and reveal two tiger teeth to pretend to be fierce.

  There is actually someone living here, and they don't know about the organization?

  Everyone was somewhat suspicious and couldn't fully believe it.

  Mo Yi said: "Then what were you laughing at just now?"

  The man glared and said, "Can't you let people laugh? I caught two foxes today and was going to bring them back to the mountain cave. As soon as I came back, I found that you occupied this place, and someone even chased me to hit me."

  Wen Baiyu turned his head to look around, and indeed this cave seemed to have been inhabited by someone before. There was no strange smell inside, although there were no living objects, but it was quite clean after sweeping. If it was really the place where Huang Xiong lived, with feces and food inside, the smell would definitely be very big.

  The man glared at them and said, "Can you let me go now? You people have taken over my territory and even resorted to violence."

  Wen Baiyu said: "There's another question, what's your name?"

  The man shook his head and said: "I don't have a name, I don't need that sort of thing."

  The man said, and then turned to Ming Gui and said: "Hey, you dead face, can you pull these things out? It really hurts."

  Ming Gui's face didn't show any fluctuations. A big hand flashed in front of the man, and he let out a loud cry. Ming Gui had already pulled out all the golden needles.

  The man was numb all over his body because he had been pinned down by the golden needle for a long time, and he fell to the ground with a "thud", taking half a day to get up.

  Jiǔ Mìng recovered his usual smile and said with a grin: "Hey, you don't have a name, it's really troublesome to call you, how about this, I'll give you a name?"

  The man looked at Jiumeng with suspicion, and Jiumeng smiled slyly: "Ah... your nose looks just like a cow's, why don't we just call you Ah Niu (Cow)?"

  Everyone immediately jumped up at the temples of the sun, and it seemed that Jiuming was teasing people. The man said: "I'm not a cow."

  Jiuming said: "You've all said it's like that, okay? If you don't like the name Ah Niu, then call him Niu Niu."

  Wen Bai's eyelids were jumping even more, but fortunately Donghai picked up the nine lives at this time and said: "Your body is weak, go to sleep for a while."

  Jiǔ Mìng zhèng wán dé gāo xìng, kàng yì shuō: "Shuí shēn tǐ xū ruò le?"

  Translation:

  Jiǔ Mìng was having a great time playing, and protested saying: “Who said I'm weak?”

  Wen Baiyu looked at the man and said: "You've been living here all along, so do you know if there's a Blood Waterfall nearby or a sunken ship in the sky?"

  The man was exercising his stiff wrist while sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the quilt was lifted a bit, exposing his private parts again. However, the man apparently didn't feel any shame, but rather thought it was quite normal.

  The man glanced at everyone and smiled, saying: "I've seen it."

  Wen Baiyu said in surprise: "Have you really seen it?"

  The man said: "Of course, that thing is on the island. If I want to see it, I can see it every day. You outsiders are just curious."

  Wen Baiyu seemed to have caught on something and said: "From what you're saying, has someone else also come here?"

  The man nodded and said: "Yes, there was one before, with about the same number of people as you, carrying a lot of luggage, also looking for these things, but..."

  The man said, looking at the crowd, smiling with a tiger's grin: "But that place is very dangerous, I also told them beforehand, anyway I won't go in, I took them there, and those people went in but never came out, they must be dead."

  Everyone looked at each other, and Wen Baiyu said: "What's so dangerous?"

  The man shrugged and said, "The Blood Waterfall is in the high mountains ahead. I've seen a bird get sucked in and rot quickly. As for that sunken ship, I don't know what to say, it just feels very dangerous."

  Mo Jing Hou's cold voice said, "Can you take us there?"

  The man grunted, obviously still resentful of Wan Qi Jing Hou's kick to his back, and said: "The sunken ship can only be seen at night, it's too early now. You scared away all my food, I have to go catch some again."

  The man stood up and the blanket naturally fell to the ground, several people simultaneously averted their eyes, although they were all men, but exposing that position was still a bit uncomfortable.

  Wen Baiyu said: "The forest here is changing, how can you find the location of the mountain cave?"

  The man said disdainfully: "I come and go like this every day, I don't know how long I've been walking, I can find the cave with my eyes closed."

  He said, and walked out, everyone looked at each other.

  "Where are you going?" said Ming Gui.

  The man said: "Didn't I say we're going to go catch some food? I'll go take a look by the sea and see if we can catch something to eat."

  Wen Baiyu said: "We have food here."

  The man looked at their food with disdain and said, "I'm still hungry."

  Everyone finally stayed behind Xie Lin, Xie Yan and Mo Yi with An Ran in the cave to rest, while others followed this stranger to the seaside.

  The forest is indeed changing, and everyone has some impression when they come over, but the current scene is completely different from just now.

  The man walked with a leisurely pace, he seemed to really not need his eyes to see the forest, everyone had been walking for half an hour, from the forest they arrived at the seaside.

  The wind by the sea is very strong, although the weather is warm, but the sea breeze is still quite cool. The man didn't wear clothes and didn't feel cold. After running to the seaside, he rushed in like a beast, making a "splash" sound.

  Everyone stared at the sea surface for a long time, but they didn't see that man emerge from the water.

  Nine lives are hanging by a thread, sitting on the riverbank, saying: "I won't drown, will I?"

  Won't you run away?

  As soon as he spoke, everyone else began to suspect too. Just as Wan Xi Jing Hou was about to walk to the seaside to check, a " splash" sound came from the water, and the man had already emerged from the sea. He had water droplets on his body, which rolled down with a "splash" sound, rolling down along his ancient bronze-colored skin. The afternoon sun was a bit fierce, making the water droplets on his body shine dazzlingly.

  A man had a fish in his mouth and another enormous one in his hand, laboriously dragging it out of the water and pulling the fish from the water onto the shore.

  Jiǔ Mìng glared with her eyes, saliva slipped down, jumped up from the shore, and was about to run over to snatch the man's fish. Dong Hai felt somewhat helpless, pressed his temples, and hurriedly chased after her.

  However, Jiǔ Mìng had just run over when he suddenly covered his nose and ran back, supporting Dōnghǎi. "Hū —" He vomited and said: "How can it be so smelly?"

  The man threw the huge fish onto the shore, and the fish, lacking water, began to flop around non-stop. Because this fish was so enormous, each flip was even higher than a person, and it continued to thrash about on the shore.

  The man, with a small fish in his mouth, directly swallowed the hair and drank the blood into his mouth, eating "gagging" sounds, while kicking the big fish twice, saying: "Why hasn't it died yet."

  Now everyone finally believes he is a man living on an island, actually similar to a savage, not wearing clothes and eating raw things.

  That huge fish was jumping around on the shore, looking like it was about to jump back into the sea. The man spat out the fish in his mouth with a "pffft" sound, quickly wrapped his body around it, and directly hugged the huge fish in his arms, then he too was jumping around with the huge fish.

  Everyone had an urge to cover their faces, the man himself was not wearing clothes, hugging a giant fish, his entire body stuck to the fish, his buttocks raised high, his bronze-colored skin with water droplets reflecting in the sunlight, as if he was doing some kind of unharmonious exercise with the fish.

  Wen Baiyu really couldn't bear it anymore, covering his eyes with his hand. He should be staying in the cave with An Ran and the others.

  The man hugged the fish and was about to jump into the sea, shouting: "Save me! Is anyone helping?"

  Everyone silently chose to ignore him, this man seemed a bit unreliable, after all, could he really lead them to the sunken ship and the Blood Waterfall...

  Ming Gui was the calmest one, his paralyzed face didn't move from start to finish, as if he were wearing a mask. His cold eyes stared at the jumping fish, and if it weren't for his eyes following the fish's movements, Wen Baiyu would have thought he had entered meditation again.

  Ming Gui suddenly took two steps forward, pulled out three golden needles and stabbed them into the body of the huge fish. Each needle was almost completely inserted, and as soon as the third needle was inserted, the fish stopped moving in an instant.

  The man slid down from the huge fish with a "thud" and fell into the water, saying: "I didn't expect your needle to be so fierce, you're good at catching fish, teach me!"

  Ming Gui glanced at the man and shook his head, saying: "You have a dull temperament and your hands are not good either, you're not suitable for learning Mo Pai's things."

  Ming Gui said it very seriously and then left.

  The man suddenly jumped up from the ground and rushed towards the back of Ming Gui, saying: "What do you mean!"

  The man said to Wen Baiyu: "Was he just scolding me?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and said, "He may not have meant to scold you, he just speaks more directly."

  The man seemed to be born with a few screws loose, and upon hearing Wen Baiyu's words, he went "oh" and picked up the small fish that had fallen on the ground earlier. He appeared to think that it had gotten sandy from the shore, so he rinsed it in the seawater and then put it directly into his mouth and started eating.

  Everyone looked on with furrowed brows. Wen Baiyu could no longer bear to look at him directly. This person was not only lacking in intelligence, but also seemed to have a brain that couldn't turn corners.

  Many people sat by the sea, watching him fish. The man said: "Winter is coming soon, and there will be fewer fish around here. When winter comes, even foxes won't come out. I want to stock up on food."

  The curious Jiu Ming asked: "Do you usually eat foxes?"

  The man bared his tiger-like teeth and said: "I can eat ten foxes in one meal."

  Jiuming said: "What does fox meat taste like?"

  The man smacked his lips, seemingly recalling something, and said: "Too hairy, not good to eat, hair gets stuck in my teeth, and it's also smelly. Fish is better to eat, and I've heard that eating more fish can make me smarter."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Everyone said so, and the man dived into the water again to catch fish. His breath-holding was very severe, and it didn't matter if he didn't come out for three minutes.

  As the sun was about to set, the man continued to hoard his food. Wen Baiyu sat on the shore, being blown by the sea breeze and feeling a bit chilly. Wan Qi Jinghou put his clothes over him and let Wen Baiyu lean against him to rest for a while.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "You rest first, tonight we will go find the sunken ship again."

  Wen Baiyu nodded, but they came out in a hurry and their luggage was still in the cave. Wan Kuang Jinghou took off his outer garment, and with such strong sea winds, he didn't know if he would feel cold or not.

  Wen Baiyu didn't want his overcoat, Wan Xizonghou smiled and said: "Let's squeeze together, you hold me and I won't be cold."

  Wen Baiyu's face turned red, but Wan Qi Jing Hou's clothes were not thick to begin with. The wind was so strong that his coat was still draped over him. Wen Baiyu feared he would catch a chill, so she squeezed in closer and wrapped her arms around Wan Qi Jing Hou's waist, sharing the coat between them.

  Wan Jingshou chuckled and seemed to be very pleased with Wen Baiyu's action of putting his arm around his waist, usually it was Wan Jingshou who put his arm around Wen Baiyu's waist, actually Wen Baiyu found it quite fresh.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's waist looks very slender, a bit like a model with broad shoulders and narrow hips. However, as soon as you put your arm around him, you can tell that he has a lot of substance inside, hard and solid, even through his clothes you can feel the firm muscles, and if you move your hand forward a bit, you can also feel his smooth abdominal muscles.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou suddenly grabbed Wen Bai Yu's hand that was moving around his waist and said in a low voice, "Don't want to live?"

  Wen Baiyu smiled and, in the midst of this grand gathering, thought that even if Wan Kuang Jing Hou wanted to do something out of line, he wouldn't be able to, as the forest would change and they definitely couldn't leave. So, she fearlessly raised a smile, provoking Wan Kuang Jing Hou, and pinched his waist.

  However, because Wan Kuang Jing Hou's muscles were too hard, Wen Bai Yu couldn't pinch him, and his hand hurt from the attempt.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou seemed to understand Wen Bai Yu's meaning, grasping his hand and letting Wen Bai Yu's hand wrap around his waist. The two people were already close together, Wan Qi Jing Hou pulled Wen Bai Yu's hand down, quickly arriving at his own thighs.

  Wen Baiyu immediately stiffened, her body froze, and she whispered: "Don't mess around, there are so many people."

  Wan Ji Jing Hou turned his head sideways and blew a mouthful of hot air against Wen Bai Yu's ear, smiling and saying: "Who was it that provoked me just now?"

  A warm white feather stroked it vigorously, and the hot air went straight from the ear to the top of the head, as if even the coccyx was scorched.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou let go of Wen Bai Yu's hand, suddenly grabbed Wen Bai Yu's chin, and kissed him on the lips, saying: "Don't be naughty, is a kiss okay?"

  Wen Bai's face was a little red, but they were sitting relatively far back, and everyone else was watching the man fishing, while the kids were playing in the water, so no one noticed them.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly leaned forward and bit Wan Jingshou's lips, Wan Jingshou abruptly wrapped his arms around his waist, their lips immediately merged together without a single gap. Wen Baiyu let out a muffled "mmm" sound as Wan Jingshou held onto his lips, ceaselessly licking his tongue and sucking on the tip of it.

  Wen Baiyu's whole body felt a tingling sensation, her waist shook, and her breathing suddenly became heavy. Unconsciously, she reached out to wrap her arms around Wan Qi Jinghou's back, hanging herself on him, and opened her mouth to respond to his kiss.

  Wen Baiyu's mind went blank, Wan Jingshou's kiss was like his person, a bit crazy and a bit gentle, making people feel especially sour. Wen Baiyu's breathing gradually became heavier, and he felt something below, just as Wan Jingshou chuckled and released his lips.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes were filled with tears, his body was soft and limp, and he was being held in Wan Qi Jinghou's arms. The outer garments they had been wearing had long since fallen off. Wen Baiyu lifted his head to see a man holding a large fish, staring at him and Wan Qi Jinghou with a look of astonishment, his head tilted to one side as if wondering what they were doing.

  Wen Bai's face suddenly turned red, she had just been kissed a bit too passionately and seemed to have let out a slight sound.

  Jiǔ Mìng laughed and leaned into Donghai's arms, saying: "Master is playing kissy-face with Baokun again."

  Xiao Xuemu also learned from Wan Kuangjing's example, taking off his own little jacket and trying to drape it over Xiao Yuema's shoulders. However, because Xiao Yuema had wings on her back, the jacket couldn't be draped over her, so she had no choice but to put it back on herself.

  As the sun was about to set, the man caught three fish, slung two small ones over his shoulder and placed another huge one on the ground, then said: "Alright, let's go, after we get back I'll hide the fish well, then I can take you guys to that place."

  The crowd followed the man back and forth, and the path in the forest seemed to have changed again. It looked very complicated, but the man was still walking very smoothly, chatting with them as he walked.

  When everyone arrived at the entrance of the cave, they saw Mo Yi standing at the entrance, as if waiting for them. Seeing that they had returned, he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and said, "You guys didn't get lost."

  Everyone entered the cave, and the man put the fish in. Because they only ate one at the seaside earlier, they were not full, so they started eating again and finished off the other two smaller ones as well.

  Everyone gathered around the bonfire, warmed up their food and ate, after eating their fill, they set off again after a while.

  The man was eating raw fish and sniffed at what was in their pot, saying: "What's this smell, it smells so good."

  It's just some ordinary fast food, but compared to raw fish, it must be especially fragrant.

  Wen Baiyu saw that the men were starving, so she told Wan Qi Jinghou to gut and clean the fish, then cut it into blocks, which they could roast and eat.

  What's the point of even mentioning Wan Ji Jing Hou's knife skills? With a few "whooshes", the scales were scraped off, and with a few kicks, the fish's internal organs were all gone. A few "chop chops" later, the fish was cut into several segments, each exactly the same size, not a single millimeter different.

  After finishing all these things, Wan Qi Jing Hou slowly poured water on the dragon scale dagger and found a paper towel to wipe it clean with his index finger and middle finger.

  Mo said with a click of his tongue, "I've heard of the Dragon Scale Dagger before, but I never thought it was used to cut fish."

  Wen Baiyu put the fish on a skewer and roasted it over an open flame, sprinkling a lot of seasonings on top. The aroma immediately filled the entire Shandong province.

  The man was like a big dog, twitching his nose, drooling and saying: "Is this the taste of fish? Were all those I ate before not fish?"

  The demon's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "It is fish, but not a way for humans to eat."

  Men always feel that this paralyzed face is hard to understand, and he has a hunch in his heart that this paralyzed face must be scolding himself, but how exactly he is being scolded, it seems can't be said...

  Nine lives smelled the aroma of roasted fish, and was so hungry that she couldn't help but grab a piece as soon as it was done. However, after taking just one bite, she immediately spat everything out and said: "Master, your cooking is too smelly!"

  Xie Yan was eating fish just right, he didn't know that Jiu Ming was special at this time, and said: "I don't think it's smelly."

  Nine lives were almost lost when he tasted the stench, his whole body went limp, and his ears drooped. In Donghai's arms, he kept rolling around. Donghai said: "If you feel smelly, just rinse your mouth with water, eat something else."

  Donghai made something else for Jiuming, but Jiuming didn't feel like eating anything. In the end, Donghai sprinkled some rice into a bowl of plain water and drank a bit of white porridge. After finishing it, Jiuming started to feel drowsy, leaned against Donghai's body, and fell asleep with his tail swishing back and forth.

  Donghai felt a bit helpless, so he put a blanket over him and rubbed his runny nose, saying: "I told you not to follow me, but you had to come anyway."

  Jiǔ Mìng was already asleep, but felt someone touching his nose. He immediately bared his sharp little tiger teeth and let out a low growl, "Hng", as he took Dong Hai's finger into his mouth, though not using much force, just nipping at it lightly. Then, he stuck out his tongue to lick it, like an infant sucking on something, and mumbled with his mouth full: "Mmm... fish soup flavor..."

  Everyone ate their fill because Wen Baiyu's roasted fish was too delicious, and Egg seemed to like it especially, eating two big pieces, getting his belly swollen.

  Xiao Chong Long's stomach was originally good, and he ate a lot. Wen Bai Yu turned his head to take a look, and saw that Xiao Chong Long's clothes seemed to be a bit short? I don't know if the son of his family is using his life to grow taller.

  Wen Baiyu said with a hint of sadness: "At this rate, our Er Mao will be able to wear winter clothes as short sleeves..."

  Dan Dan burst out laughing and tugged at Xiao Chui Long's sleeve. The sleeves of winter clothes were longer, but now they seemed short and couldn't cover Xiao Chui Long's wrists. Fortunately, the weather here was warm and not cold, so there was no need to worry about Xiao Chui Long catching a cold.

  Everyone finished their meal and began packing up their luggage.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Is the road of the past far away?"

  The man said, "It's that mountain over there. It looks a bit far away, but there is a cave that we can take to get across. It's a water cave and there are many disgusting insects inside. If you're afraid, we'll take the mountain road. If not, taking the water cave will save us time. We'll definitely arrive before dawn."

  Everyone discussed it and the man said that the sunken ship can only be seen at night. If we take the mountain road, we don't know when we'll arrive, and we still have to wait until night. It's definitely better to take the water cave, but I don't know what's inside the water cave.

  Wen Bai asked the man, and the man just said: "That's not necessarily what you'll encounter. The first time I entered that water cave, there were many birds inside, with red feathers, and they were very fierce. Last time I entered the water cave was when I took those people to find the sunken ship, and there were many disgusting insects in the water cave, but no birds were seen."

  Everyone quickly gathered their belongings and followed the man out of the cave.

  Ming Gui said: "Those people who went in before, why haven't they come out?"

  The man gave him a very disdainful look and said, "How do I know? I didn't go down there myself. That kind of place, I definitely wouldn't go in. You saw it for yourselves, who would willingly enter that kind of place unless they had to? But those people were determined to go in. I waited outside for three days, starving, and still didn't see them come out. So I left on my own."

  The crowd came out of the cave, with the man leading the way and walking in front. They quickly moved forward, continuing to make their way through the forest.

  They walked for half an hour, passing through the forest, and the mountains seemed to be right in front of them, but they were shrouded in a thick fog, no matter how hard they looked, they couldn't see clearly, still giving off a "galloping horse looking at the mountain" feeling.

  Behind the forest is a vast plain, with many boulders on the plain and only some low bushes.

  The crowd followed the man as he walked very quickly, with a lithe figure and long legs. He seemed to be in good physical condition, not breaking a sweat after an hour of walking.

  Jiǔ Mìng was carried on the back of the East Sea, when he suddenly felt a cool breeze, and with a start, he woke up. He lifted his head, dazedly looking ahead, saying: "Huh? Where are we? Why is it so cold?"

  The crowd followed the man to the entrance of the cave, which was said to be a water cave. However, there was no water at the entrance, only a mass of yin energy and damp air. A cold gust of wind blew out, sending shivers down everyone's spines.

  The man pointed at the water cave and said: "We've arrived, this cave, if we hurry, it will take more than two hours to walk through. After passing the water cave, you can see the place you are looking for."

  The man said, taking the lead and walking into the water cave. He had no tools in his hands, nor did he carry a lamp, but his vision seemed particularly good. The water cave was pitch black, but his eyes shone brightly, just like an eagle's eyes.

  Everyone followed behind him, with Ming Gui walking at the very front, then Wan Kuang Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu, the little ones following after them, Mo Yi and An Ran bringing up the rear.

  Five minutes into the water cave, the sound of running water was heard. It was an underground river, but the water only reached knee-deep, not even a boat could float on it, and everyone had to wade through the water to move forward.

  The man said: "You guys be careful, there were leeches in this water before, they will suck on people's legs."

  As soon as he said that, everyone was shocked and felt a chill run down their spine. Even the scalp felt numb. The nine-tailed beast on the back of the East Sea immediately curled up its tail and grasped it in its hand, afraid that there might be insects sucking on its tail.

  The luckiest ones here are the little guys, Xiaoyu and Xiaolong can fly, they fly directly, carrying Xiaoxuehua and eggs forward, not a single drop of water gets on them.

  Everyone waded through the water and moved forward. Wen Baiyu held up his flashlight to shine into the water, and in the dark water, he saw that something was actually moving...

  Wen Baiyu was startled and took a step back, her heel getting stuck on the stone. Her body swayed and she almost fell to the ground. Wan Jingshou stretched out his hand and scooped her into his arms, saying: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu pointed at the water below and said: "There's something inside!"

  Everyone immediately stopped and shone their flashlights on the water surface. The water was dark in color, and there were indeed things inside, all of which were stuck to the bottom of the water. They were black, long and strip-shaped. If Wen Baiyu hadn't looked carefully, these things would have been almost indistinguishable from the color of the water, or might have been mistaken for stones.

  The man was incredibly bold, and before everyone could see what it was, he suddenly stretched out his hand, plunged into the water, and with a "splash", pulled out the long, strip-like thing.

  Everyone hastily retreated in a defensive posture, staring at the man and what he was holding in his hand.

  That long black thing was about the size of a palm, but because the man's body was tall and large, his palms were also big, so the thing looked a bit small in his hand.

  Long and cylindrical in shape, with many fleshy spines on top, it remains still and soft, being held in a man's hand.

  The ghost stared at the man and said, "Sea cucumber."

  Sea cucumber?!!

  Wen Baiyu turned on her flashlight and took a closer look, saying: "Is it really sea cucumber?"

  Jiu Ming's mouth began to water again as he said, "How can there be sea cucumbers in this place? Aren't sea cucumbers supposed to be from the sea?"

  Everyone was puzzled, this is just a dark river, and the water is very shallow, I don't know what reason, this river has black water, the transparency is not good, and there are actually sea cucumbers in it.

  Everyone carefully shone their flashlights into the water and indeed, there were still many of these sea cucumbers on the ground, with a lot of flesh thorns, looking like pretty good sea cucumbers.

  Wen Baiyu said strangely: "How can there be so many sea cucumbers in this place? Could it be artificially cultivated?"

  The man said: "There's only me on this island, where would others come from to raise sea cucumbers? Last time it was the same thing, I'm telling you, those bugs are them, stuck to people's legs."

  The man said, strangely saying: "What is this thing for? It looks so ugly?"

  The warm white feathered creature jumped straight up, it turned out that the insect the man mentioned was actually a sea cucumber? Fortunately, they chose to dive into the water cave.

  The expression on Ming's face didn't change as he said, "Sea cucumber is one of the eight treasures, with very high nutritional value..."

  He saw the man's puzzled expression, seemingly unable to understand what "Eight Delicacies" and "nutritional value" meant, so he simply added a sentence, saying: "It's edible."

  The man suddenly became happy and said: "Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

  He said, directly putting the sea cucumber he had just scooped out of the water to his mouth, "chomped" off half with one bite, and stuffed it into his mouth to chew.

  Everyone suddenly felt a wave of nausea, acid reflux surged up, and the man let out a "hurl" sound as he vomited directly, saying: "What is this strange taste?! So disgusting..."

  Ming Gui didn't bother with him and simply said, "Leave."

  He said that, took the lead and walked forward, when he turned his head around, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, teasingly raised an eyebrow, and smiled more ugly than crying.

  Wen Baiyu's eyebrows jumped up, thinking to herself, could it be that Ming Gui was teasing that person? It turned out that the leader of the Mo School also had a humorous side, but this kind of dark humor was really...

  The man chased after him, holding the half-cut sea cucumber in his hand and smashing it at Minggui. Minggui seemed to have grown eyes on the back of his head, dodging sideways, and the sea cucumber made a "plop" sound as it fell directly into the water.

  The man rushed towards Ming and bared his teeth like a tiger, saying: "Ming, you can't eat it, the taste is so disgusting, how could you make me eat it?"

  The pale ghost said faintly: "I said it can be eaten, and there is no need to eat it raw."

  The man blinked and said: "Raw food? What does it mean?"

  The ghost at the corner of his mouth raised again, but didn't say anything and continued walking forward.

  They could see this kind of sea cucumber in the water all along the way, lying on the bottom of the water, and if they weren't careful, they would be trampled to death.

  Jiumeng said: "These sea cucumbers are too wasteful just lying there, let's collect them. When we have no food, we can still make a sea cucumber porridge."

  Everyone thought it was a good idea, but unlike the men, they didn't go in bare-handed. They all wore gloves and then reached into the water to pick up the sea cucumbers, putting them in a transparent jar. As they walked, they continued to pick, eventually filling a large bottle.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This is simply like a sea cucumber breeding base."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou furrowed his brow after hearing, picked up the jar with sea cucumber, and with a slight curve of his index finger, tapped the bottle lightly. The sea cucumbers inside were still alive, slightly wriggling.

  Wen Baiyu looked at Wan Kuang Jinghou with a thoughtful expression and said: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with these sea cucumbers?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't say a word, shook his head and furrowed his brow before saying: "Seeing so many sea cucumbers makes me think of another use for them."

  Wen Baiyu curiously said: "What else can sea cucumbers be used for besides eating?"

  Ming Gui suddenly turned his head at this time and said: "Dig a hole."

  Wen Baiyu didn't seem to understand at first, so the man repeated himself, saying: "Dig a hole? What does that mean?"

  Men seem like ten million why's, can't understand anything.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou saw Wen Bai Yu and was taken aback, saying: "I once saw a method of digging thief holes in the wild history, which is to use sea cucumbers."

  Wen Baiyu looked at the glass jar in Wang Jingshou's hand and suddenly felt a chill on his back, saying: "How did you dig it up?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou continued: "Sea cucumbers are a very ancient species, large sea cucumbers can reach thirty centimeters, with many wheel-shaped tentacles/hands, usually around twenty, and up to thirty. Around the mouth there will be about a dozen tentacles distributed, used for capturing food or digging mud. Sea cucumbers are good at burrowing, I've read in the wild history that some eccentric people can train these sea cucumbers to dig holes for underwater fighting."

  Wen Baiyu's back felt numb as he said, "The largest sea cucumber is only thirty centimeters long. How many sea cucumbers would that take?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said, "I haven't really seen it before, but I've read about it in books. You just mentioned cultivation, and suddenly I thought of it. The water in this cave is black, but the sea cucumbers can live inside, which means the water isn't toxic. Maybe there are some special nutrients inside that can nourish the growth of these sea cucumbers. Perhaps this place is a base for cultivating sea cucumbers, not for eating, but for digging holes."

  Everyone's back was numb, and from then on, they never wanted to eat sea cucumber again...

  It's also possible that Wan Qi Jing Hou's inference is not impossible, after all, there is a large factory built by the Western Queen Mother nearby, and the parts in the factory are used for digging holes. If this water cave was also dug by the Western Queen Mother, it would be reasonable.

  Everyone was initially enthusiastic about picking sea cucumbers, but after listening to Wang Qi Jing Hou's popular science lecture, they lost interest in picking sea cucumbers. They picked a jar and stopped picking, using flashlights to illuminate the water surface, vigilantly looking inward, and indeed there were many more sea cucumbers. The deeper into the cave, the more sea cucumbers there were, almost densely packed, making it difficult for them to set foot.

  The man didn't understand what they were saying and excitedly said: "So many sea cucumbers, why don't you pick them up?"

  Everyone looked at him with disdain and didn't respond. The man happily continued to pick up the sea cucumbers, and the others followed him as they continued on their way.

  It took two hours to pass through the water cave, and they didn't encounter anything aggressive except for more and more sea cucumbers. Some of them moved very fast and even stuck to their shoes and legs, making everyone feel sick and unable to move. Especially after Wan Qi Jing Hou explained that sea cucumbers have a rough touch, everyone felt even sicker.

  The men carefully picked up the sea cucumbers that had been stuck to everyone's shoes and legs, put them in jars, and filled several glass jars. It was fortunate that they had brought many empty jars.

  The man scooped up a lot, almost everyone was able to get a can, and then distributed them evenly, with one can stuffed into each person's backpack.

  Wen Baiyu's temples were jumping a bit, thinking that it was actually okay if they didn't give us any...

  Because the man had no backpack and was stark naked without even clothes on him, he didn't carry any glass jars himself, but instead let others carry them.

  Two hours were very accurate, and everyone saw the light. The exit of the water cave finally stood in front of everyone. The outside light was moonlight, and the sun had completely disappeared. A full moon hung in the sky, and today's moon was a bit brighter.

  They drilled out of the water cave, and a strong gust of wind came blowing over, blowing Little Feather "whoosh" almost flying away. Xiaoxue Flower Vine rolled up and wrapped Little Feather back in her arms. Little Feather's wings were big and easily caught the wind, so she had to put them away.

  The little dragon had wings, but wasn't blown away by the wind. It seemed to have a strange power on its wings, and with just a light flap, it flew steadily in mid-air, holding out its hand to shield Eggy's face from the strong gusts of wind.

  A huge gust of wind, accompanied by a "whooshing" sound, and after the wind passed, everyone looked forward to find that they were already halfway up the mountain. This water cave went straight through the mountain, apparently requiring a lot of manpower.

  Before them was a massive mountain, lush and green, with the color stretching across the entire mountain. They were already standing at the halfway point of the mountain, and looking out in both directions, they saw only more green mountains.

  The man pointed to the location above and said: "Let's go quickly, there is still a little way to go. Today the moonlight is so bright, I don't know if we can see it."

  He said, taking the lead to climb up the mountain, and the crowd followed him. The mountain road was not difficult to walk, but the slope was quite large. They kept climbing and climbing for half an hour without stopping, and finally saw hope.

  Wen Baiyu exclaimed: "Huh?!" and said: "Look at you guys!"

  He pointed to the top of the mountain, where a strange phenomenon had appeared...

  All that can be seen is a ship on the mountain top, a huge ship floating in mid-air, hidden in the misty fog, just like a ship sailing in the sky.

  But this ship is not really a ship, it's just a shadow.

  Everyone stared at the shadow in mid-air in shock, what was casting this shadow? Or was it a mirage?

  The man smiled and pointed ahead, saying: "We're almost there, Blood Falls will be in sight soon."

  He said, quickening his pace, and agilely climbed upwards.

  Everyone quickened their pace and followed him, climbing for a while longer until they finally reached the top of the mountain.

  This is a round mountain top, with a huge cave in the middle of the mountain top, just like looking at a volcano. They stood on the mountain top and looked into the cave, hearing the sound of "gushing" water flow. The cave was not volcanic lava, but water, and it was red.

  Red water swirls around in the huge cave, forming a whirlpool-like shape. All around, red water keeps spouting out and rapidly flows down along the rocky walls of the cave, giving the impression of seeing a massive waterfall.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the flowing water and suddenly felt a little dizzy. Although she was standing very steadily, she had a feeling that she was going to fall down.

  The wreck's reflection is directly above this massive cavern, as if something glowing is emanating from the water flow, and the reflection is clearly reflected from the water.

  No wonder the man said he would never enter this place, who would fall into a whirlpool for no reason? And it's still a red whirlpool, just like blood.

  Ming Gui looked at the blood water below and said, "Perhaps this is Yu Yuan."

  Ming Gui said, suddenly put down his backpack, then pulled out a rope from inside and tied it around his waist.

  The man looked at his movements and said, "Hey, hey, it's a turning point, I think you're quite interesting, that's why I'm reminding you, none of the people who went down before have ever come up."

  The ghost didn't say anything, it just continued its own movements.

  Everyone came for this underwater tomb, the incense burner painted a sea map, indicating that this place is absolutely related to the Queen Mother of the West and even the coffin, they can't give up when they arrive.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou also took off his backpack, pulled out a rope from inside, and also a diving cylinder. The cylinder was very heavy, they had been carrying it all along, now it seemed to have come in handy.

  Wen Baiyu was fine on the side, the water flow was very rapid, they had to tie a rope and jump down, after reaching the bottom, cut off the rope, there were many trees on the side, and they were very sturdy, tying them up would be no problem.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou tied the rope tightly, and at the same time, helped Wen Bai Yu put on his equipment. Then he began to put on his own gear. The diving suit was tight-fitting and elastic, and as soon as Wan Qi Jing Hou put it on, the muscles on his body were immediately revealed, accentuating his long legs. Wen Bai Yu's face turned red with embarrassment.

  The little ones were too small to wear diving gear, so Wen Baiyu put them all in a backpack. Since she knew they would be going underwater, she had specially prepared a waterproof backpack with excellent sealing properties.

  The little feather has grown too big, and it needs to shrink its body to get into the backpack. It's just right to hold the egg in its arms, but it's still a bit crowded. The two of them are stuck together very closely, and the egg is giggling "hehe". Xiaoxuemaihua now isn't as tall and big as Xiaochonglong, and she envies their cuddly appearance. Xiaoxuemaihua and Xiao Yuemaohua got into the backpack, the space was just right, but they couldn't have close contact.

  Everyone was ready, the rope tied to the tree, Jiǔ Mìng scared his teeth "got got got" chattering, after all Jiǔ Mìng is a cat, and now his body is not good, ears and tail can't turn back, seeing the blood-red vortex, almost fainted.

  Dong Hai said: "Or you don't go down, wait for us here."

  Donghai finished speaking and was still worried about Jiǔ Mìng. Fortunately, Jiǔ Mìng immediately shook his head and said: "Forget it, I'll just go down now, we've already come this far."

  Donghai comforted him, saying: "It's okay, after going down I'll transform into a fish tail, this whirlpool shouldn't be a problem."

  Jiǔ Mìng nodded and immediately hugged Donghai tightly like an octopus.

  Everyone was ready, and Ming Gui divided some food among the men, saying: "We'll try to go quickly and come back quickly. This is three days' worth of food."

  The man looked at the food in surprise, he had just said that after the previous people left, he was hungry for three days and finally couldn't hold on anymore and left. It's clear that those people were afraid of not having enough food for themselves, so they didn't share with the man.

  The man didn't expect Ming Gui would share food with him.

  The man looked at the food on the ground, all of which could be eaten after unpacking, and nodded immediately, saying, "Be careful then."

  Everyone prepared and put on their diving gear, which was very heavy. They also had to carry backpacks and equipment, making the load even heavier. However, they were now grateful for the heavy load, otherwise they would have been swept away by the whirlpool directly.

  Donghai prepared himself a bit, had Jiuming hug him and said: "You guys follow me."

  Everyone nodded, and then Donghai suddenly dived down. With a "splash", he directly plunged into the blood-red whirlpool. The whirlpool only produced a water bubble, and soon the figures of Donghai and Jiuming were no longer visible.

  No one dared to delay, fearing that they would lose contact with Donghai Jiuyin. They quickly jumped into the whirlpool as well.

  Wen Baiyu only felt a huge force, which instantly knocked him down, and his body suddenly stopped listening to commands. The massive water flow swept Wen Baiyu down rapidly, making him dizzy and nauseous to the point of vomiting.

  Although she had brought a diving mask, Wen Baiyu still didn't dare open her eyes. The speed of this water flow was really too frightening.

  Wen Baiyu's body spun rapidly with the water flow, and in an instant, he was caught by someone. Opening his eyes, he saw that Wan Jingshou had somehow appeared beside him, grabbing Wen Baiyu and pulling him over in the massive water flow. Wen Baiyu immediately wrapped his arms around Wan Jingshou's waist, and the two quickly sank downwards together.

  "Ahh——" With a sound, due to the force of the fall and the water swirling downwards, after a few seconds, Wen Baiyu felt the thrust beside him suddenly disappear, and he actually shot out from the whirlpool. The seawater below the whirlpool was extremely calm and pitch black, with everything around him being dark, unable to see anything clearly, which made Wen Baiyu feel a bit panicked.

  He immediately turned on the searchlight on his head, took a look at the barometer and depth gauge, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. How deep was this huge cave?

  Wen Baiyu tightly grasped Wan Jingshou, and Wan Jingshou patted his back with his hand. Since they were in the water, their strength was very light, but this actually made Wen Baiyu feel somewhat comforted.

  Right behind, the lights of the second and third lamps lit up one after another. The light in the dark seabed seemed a bit weak. Wen Baiyu looked over and saw that it was others, others who had also passed through the whirlpool.

  The East Sea transformed into a mermaid-like figure, with a huge fish tail swaying back and forth, stirring up a wave of water, its body shape flowing smoothly, and with just a slight movement, it quickly slid forward, looking carefree and free.

  Jiuming's face was as if he was about to die, his hands wrapped around Donghai's neck, and his feet still clamped on his waist. Even through the thick mask, Wen Baiyu could tell that Jiuming must be shivering with fear!

  Wen Baiyu looked around in a circle, only to discover that the rope on his waist had already been broken. Perhaps it was not long enough to be pulled apart, and the ropes on the waists of others were also broken.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou held Wen Bai Yu's hand with one hand, and pinched the rope with the other, pulling it to the end of the rope, showing it to everyone. Since they couldn't speak freely at the bottom of the sea, everything had to be conveyed through gestures.

  Everyone is a clever person, Wan Zong Jing Hou hinted at them to take a look, and everyone immediately saw the clue. Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, her eyes widened, and the rope was not pulled apart but cut off, with a very neat break.

  Everyone picked up their own rope and looked at it, and indeed they were all cut off.

  Above there was only the man who brought them over, and apart from this person there is no one else who can cut their rope, what does it mean?

  Everyone took down the long rope from their waist and threw it aside.

  Wan Xi Jinghou made a "two" hand gesture, their oxygen can last for two hours, and in two hours they want to find the tomb in this vast sea area, which looks quite difficult.

  Donghai pointed downwards, indicating for everyone to look down. Wen Baiyu lowered her head and saw that the underwater area was actually glowing.

  The crowd followed Donghai and swam past, soon they saw the seabed, which was all muddy with many creatures that couldn't be named. There were a lot of seaweeds, and among the dense seaweed and mud, there was actually a sunken ship. The sunken ship emitted a glow, as if it could penetrate the water.

  The crowd swam past, circling the sunken ship and finding that it looked very similar to the one they had seen in the underwater factory before. There was also a cicada emblem on the boat, made of shells.

  There is something in the sunken ship emitting a glow.

  Wen Baiyu was staring at the shell logo on the boat, when he suddenly felt a sense of strangeness. He reached out and touched Wan Jingshou, who looked back at him. Since they were underwater, they couldn't speak, and Wen Baiyu really couldn't express what this strange feeling was all about.

  He felt that the light in the sunken ship seemed to be... moving?

  At this time, An Ran suddenly swam over and waved his hands rapidly at the crowd. The large movements in the water consumed a lot of oxygen, their oxygen supply was only two hours, which is the normal exercise specification. An Ran suddenly kept waving his hands, the consumption must be very large.

  Behind An Ran's calm face, a terrified expression emerged, waving his hand at the sunken ship and then pointing to his own ears, as if he had heard something.

  But it seems to have been a bit late, suddenly, a huge water flow rushed out of the sunken ship, with great impact force, something burst out of the sunken ship.

  Mo Yi was fiercely swimming forward, using all his strength to pounce on An Ran. Although he moved slowly in the water, this was a life-or-death moment. Mo Yi had used up all his energy and with one swift motion, he flung An Ran out of the way. A huge, cylindrical creature emerged from the sunken ship, its massive tail swishing back and forth, sending Mo Yi flying through the air.

  Mò Yī was tumbling in the water for a long time, with no foothold at all, when Míng Guǐ suddenly pulled him back with a loud shout.

  Moe quickly checked his oxygen tank, fortunately it was quite sturdy, just scratched by the monster, otherwise the oxygen tank would have been broken, and at such a great depth in the sea, that would have been the end.

  A gigantic monster swam out of the sunken ship, and the water flow knocked everyone back to all sides. Wen Baiyu found it difficult to describe what this monster was.

  At least three to four meters long, the body is extremely soft, the skin is like a loofah, it's dark brown with a hint of fluorescent blue, and there are many huge fleshy spines on its back, under which there are countless tentacles.

  Tentacles clear and abnormal, constantly stretching and shrinking, bringing up waves of water.

  The monster was cylindrical in shape, with a warm white plumage and no discernible eyes, but it had a mouth, and around the mouth were countless tentacles.

  On the cylindrical body, a bronze necklace was actually hanging, and on the necklace hung a large bronze bell. The bell was solid, with a white gemstone stuffed inside, which emitted light. The light was extremely dazzling, almost making it impossible for people to look directly at the monster. It turned out that the light from the sunken ship earlier was indeed moving, because the light was actually on this monster's body!

  The huge monster's body is soft, can quickly turn around in the water, and its tentacles can also crawl on the muddy bottom of the water, as if it was awakened by them and wanted to forage.

  The monster continued to attack the crowd, first attacking An Ran and then turning to attack Xie Yan and Xie Lin.

  Xie Lin stretched out his hand to grab Xie Yan, who tensely pulled out an emergency dagger from the simple package on his arm. However, because they were in the water and the monster was swimming quickly, the dagger was immediately swept away by the current.

  Xie Lin suddenly pushed Xie Yan, the monster instantly swam over, directly passing between the two of them. Xie Lin was swept away by the monster's tail and flew out along with the water flow, while the monster continued to chase and attack fiercely.

  Donghai was most at ease in the water, one hand grasping the nine lives, and the other hand's back suddenly stretched out a three-pronged spear, a dark blue three-pronged spear that shot out suddenly. The monster was agile, but due to its large body size, it wasn't as agile as Donghai.

  A chunk of flesh was cut off by a trident, and a thick black liquid oozed out from the severed surface.

  Everyone quickly retreated, and Xie Lin took advantage of the opportunity to grab the dagger that Xie Yun had dropped. He swam over and chopped down fiercely, cutting off one of the monster's tentacles with a single blow.

  The monster seemed to be in pain, its massive cylindrical body shaking violently, and it was furious, attacking everyone non-stop, causing the situation to become chaotic for a while.

  Wen Baiyu felt that this was not a solution. If they continued to entangle with the monster like this, their oxygen would be depleted, so how could they go find the tomb?

  However, Wen Baiyu also discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, the monster did not attack himself and Wan Kuangjinghou.

  Wen Baiyu was somewhat astonished, could it be that they were selecting people to attack? If they were selective, then both he and Wan Kuang Hou had little ones on their backs, and the little ones' yang energy was very strong. The monsters should have attacked them first, how could they possibly ignore them?

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment, and suddenly her mind flashed, her heart skipped a beat, and she discovered the difference between herself and Wan Kuangjinghou and others.

  They didn't carry any other luggage because they had to carry the little guy. Although others' luggage was different, there was one thing in common.

  That's sea cucumber...

  Earlier in the water cave, the man picked up a lot of sea cucumbers for them. Since there was no backpack, he put these sea cucumbers into everyone's backpacks and each backpack had a bottle...

  Wen Baiyu looked at the monster, its body was extremely large, countless times larger than a sea cucumber, but its features were surprisingly the same, with meat thorns, tentacles and mouth, just like what Wan Qi Jing Hou said. Was this monster actually a giant sea cucumber?

  The monster had a bell on its neck, indicating that it was raised by someone. In the sunken ship of the Western Queen Mother's country, perhaps it was really said by Wan Qi Jing Hou. The people of the Western Queen Mother's country were using sea cucumbers to dig holes, but ordinary sea cucumbers were too small and not convenient, so there was a giant sea cucumber that had lived for thousands of years...

  Wen Baiyu thought of this, and immediately swam to An Ran's side, tearing open his backpack. An Ran was somewhat startled, but soon a fearful expression appeared on his face, as if he had heard some sound.

  Wen Baiyu quickly rummaged through his backpack, regardless of whether the equipment inside could get wet or not, and directly pulled out a jar containing sea cucumbers.

  The glass bottle was filled to the brim with sea cucumbers, which were constantly struggling and bumping against the four walls of the bottle. Although Wen Baiyu couldn't hear any sound, she could feel that the sea cucumbers seemed to be frightened and wanted to squeeze out of the bottle.

  Wen Baiyu took out the bottle of sea cucumber, and everyone else looked enlightened. The monster indeed swam towards Wen Baiyu at a very fast speed.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly swung his arm and threw the bottle of sea cucumber with all his might, and the bottle fell into the sunken ship.

  A huge monster swam rapidly towards the sunken ship, stirring up countless waves and plunged into the sunken ship.

  Others also quickly took out the sea cucumbers from their backpacks, and all the sea cucumbers were greatly shocked, constantly colliding with the glass bottles.

  A huge monster seemed to have finished eating the sea cucumbers in the sunken ship and was about to come out when everyone threw all those bottles at the sunken ship, smashing some of them, and the sea cucumbers fell out. The monster quickly swam around, using its tentacles to pick up the sea cucumbers on the ground and frantically stuffed them into its mouth.

  The monster's tentacles are very powerful and can even dig out a large pit of mud from the seabed, bringing the mud and sea cucumbers together into its mouth.

  Everyone was shocked to see that their ropes had been cut, and it was clear that the man above had done it. The giant sea monster attacked them because it wanted to eat the sea cucumbers in their backpacks, which the man had picked up.

  Now that I think of the man's innocent and harmless smile, everyone's back feels a bit chilly. He made so many preparations to let everyone be buried in the belly of the sea monster, what was it all for?

  Everyone was too stunned to think clearly, with countless questions swirling in their minds. Wan Jie Jing Hou grabbed Wen Bai Yu and made a hand gesture to the crowd, indicating that they should take advantage of the sea monster's distraction while it was eating and leave quickly.

  Everyone dared not stay, they were in the water, with no advantage, mainly because oxygen consumption was unsustainable.

  Donghai swims the fastest, holding onto his nine lives and rushing inside. Everyone follows Donghai as he swims forward.

  The seabed is very vast, but since the sunken ship of the Western Queen Mother's country is here, the tomb must also be in a not-too-distant location.

  After a while, Wen Baiyu kept looking at the indicator on his hand and was worried about their oxygen supply. Not only did they have to find the tomb, but they also had to use this oxygen to get back. Now it seems that the pressure is a bit big, and even if they found the tomb, when they came out again, they didn't know if they would encounter that giant sea monster again.

  Just thinking about it, Wen Baiyu felt like she never wanted to eat sea cucumber again for her entire life...

  Ming Gui suddenly stopped at this time, indicating that everyone should not move forward. He then swam down and looked at the muddy area, stretched out his hand to wipe it away, and spread the mud open.

  Everyone looked and suddenly they were all overjoyed, only to see that under the muddy water there was a huge stone, this kind of stone could not be something from the seabed, it must be man-made.

  Everyone immediately gathered around because it had been too long, and there was a bit of mud accumulated. After cleaning up, they quickly saw a round-topped, square-bottomed stone tunnel.

  Because it's been underwater for a bit too long, the stone tunnel is bubbly with water and covered in silt, all overgrown with aquatic plants, giving off a fuzzy prickly feeling.

  Ming Gui was the first to drill into the stone tunnel, and everyone followed behind.

  Wen Baiyu and Wan Jie Jing Hou were about to swim inside when they suddenly felt a huge impact force coming from behind, pushing against Wen Baiyu's back. Wen Baiyu immediately rolled into the tunnel with the water flow, followed by Wan Jie Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu turned his head to look, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat. The sea monster had finished eating and was chasing after him again. The sea monster's body was too large to fit through the tunnel, but because of its softness, it squeezed its body and tentacles into the tunnel, and the tentacles slipped in immediately.

  Wen Baiyu quickly swam inside and grabbed hold of Wan Jijinghou.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's leg was suddenly grabbed, Wen Bai Yu was startled, and a huge pulling force quickly pulled Wan Kuang Jing Hou and Wen Bai Yu outward.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou's hand grasped the dragon-scale dagger, and with a sudden twist, a stream of black pus gushed out. Wen Bai Yu pulled Wan Jie Jing Hou, and the pulling force in front suddenly disappeared. The two people rolled into the tunnel at once.

  Everyone stopped due to the sudden change, and Wan Xi Jing Hou's leg was still wrapped with tentacles. The tentacles were cut off, leaving a sticky feeling that made everyone feel nauseous and want to vomit. Wan Xi Jing Hou calmly used his dagger to flick away the tentacles, then called out to Wen Bai Yu and continued swimming inward.

  The tunnel was very long and didn't know what kind of craftsmanship it was, with seven twists and eight turns, suddenly going up and down. After touring for a long time, the water level began to drop, and gradually there was no water at all. The air became dry, and everyone took off their diving suits in order not to waste oxygen and carried oxygen tanks on their backs.

  Ming Gui was putting away his diving suit while saying, "This should be a tunnel built by the people of the Western Queen Mother's country for drainage purposes. Burials emphasize closure, and crystal burials must also be closed spaces without water or dampness. If they rashly dug a hole down, water would flood into the burial chamber, so they had to build this tunnel for drainage."

  The drainage device was actually seen by many people, and they had been to many underwater tombs, but in order to drain the water, they built a drainage device with great fanfare, which was really the first time they saw it. The crowd became more and more curious about the treasure in this tomb, such a large amount of manpower and material resources, spent so much time, what was it for?

  Everyone took off their diving suits and continued to move forward. Soon, they saw the tomb raiders' hole. The hole was dry, indeed without any water. This hole wasn't dug into the soil, it directly pierced through the tomb wall. Inside, it was pitch black, but going in would definitely lead to a burial site.

  Wen Baiyu shone a flashlight and said: "It's very deep down there. Did this thief's tunnel directly hit the top of the grave?"

  Wan Qi Jinghou looked around and said, "It should be the top of the tomb passage. We need to use a rope to go down. I'll hold the rope, you guys go first."

  He said, taking a rope from his backpack, and the little guys flew directly into the thief's hole.

  Wen Baiyu grabbed the rope, and Wan Qi Jinghou crouched on top of it. With incredibly powerful arm strength, he slowly lowered Wen Baiyu down. The tomb was surprisingly deep, with a passageway at least five or six meters high.

  Wan Zhi Jing Hou quickly pulled the rope back up, and soon after, the others were let down as well. Immediately afterwards, Wan Zhi Jing Hou grabbed onto the four walls of the tomb with both hands, took a fierce leap downwards, and with a "thud" sound, he stuck to the wall. He climbed down along the wall of the tomb chamber like a gecko.

  Everyone went down the tomb passage, which was very high and wide. So many people stood together without feeling crowded.

  Inside was pitch black, Wen Baiyu flipped out the flashlight and tied it to his arm, shining it on the four walls. On top were carvings of yellow bears. Looking at these carvings, if one said this was Gun's tomb, perhaps it really could be possible.

  Everyone tidied up their equipment and continued to move forward. Jiǔ Mìng had been swimming for so long that his whole body ached, and he lay weakly on Dōnghǎi's back. Dōnghǎi had transformed from a fish tail into a human form and slowly carried Jiǔ Mìng forward in his arms.

  After walking for five minutes, there was a glimmer of light ahead, and they thought it might be someone, causing a wave of tension in their hearts. After all, they had been outsmarted by that man twice before, so everyone was on guard.

  Two more steps forward, the brightness became even more pronounced, but it wasn't because of someone's presence; rather, they had already entered a transparent passageway resembling crystal from the stone tomb passage. This passageway was just like the tunnel of the underwater factory built by the Queen Mother of the West.

  However, it is clearly more exquisite than the tunnel. On both sides of the tomb passage are carved with the pattern of yellow bear and wave pattern. A majestic figure stands in the waves, holding a handful of sand-like things.

  Ming Gui took a look and said, "Indeed, it is Chong Bo's tomb."

  Obviously a picture of Yu controlling the waters, what he is holding in his hands is probably the Xirang that was stolen from the Heavenly Emperor, a magical soil that can grow on its own.

  The tomb path is very delicate, all transparent, and the outside sea view can be seen. Perhaps the tunnel built by the people of Xiwangmu Country was originally derived from this tomb path. Being in the tomb path, not a sound of the outside sea flow can be heard.

  Suddenly, a huge sea monster swam by from the side, with dull skin and some fluorescent blue color, its massive tentacles broken off, its big mouth open towards them, as if roaring in anger, but here there was no sound at all. It turned out to be that giant sea cucumber.

  The sea cucumber's tentacles kept sucking on the tomb passage, as if it had already gone into a rage and wanted to eat them up, but the tomb passage was unyieldingly solid, no matter how furious the sea monster became.

  Everyone watched as the sea monster's tentacles rolled back and forth on the transparent tomb path, feeling so nauseous they wanted to vomit. Ming Gui's face was expressionless, saying: "It can't come in, let's go."

  The crowd walked along the tomb path, and the sea monster chased after them, but it never had a way to catch up, so everyone gradually felt at ease.

  The transparent tomb path is particularly long, and if you ignore the sea monsters, the surrounding seascape is stunning, with a mysterious and unpredictable feeling, constantly having schools of fish swimming by or circling around them.

  Eggs curiously watched the schools of fish, some of which would glow in the dark seawater. Eggs stretched out his hand to grab them through the tomb passage, although he couldn't catch any, but it was still quite fun. Xiao Zonglong had a disdainful expression on his face as he carried Eggs forward, but when Eggs pulled him over to look at the fish, Xiao Zonglong would still take a peek.

  The path was very long, and it took about twenty minutes for the crowd to see a tomb chamber in front of them under the light of their flashlights. It was unclear whether the tomb chamber was also made of crystal clear material.

  Everyone was seeing this kind of burial for the first time and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

  They were just about to move forward when An Ran suddenly reached out and stopped them, saying: "There's a sound in the tomb..."

  "What sound?"

  An Ran furrowed her brow and said, "Laughter."

  Laughter?

  Laughter again!

  The first reaction of the crowd was the man who brought them down, and everyone became vigilant, pulling out their weapons and quietly surrounding the tomb.

  A bright light was transmitted from the tomb, which seemed to be the light of a long-lasting lamp. It was vague and extremely hazy. A tall and majestic figure hid in the light, casting a shadow on the wall of the tomb.

  As I walked to the side of the tomb, I could hear laughter coming from inside. The laughter was very bright and cheerful, as if someone was talking to themselves, saying: "Those people are so stupid, I just cheated them a bit and they actually took the bait. They even left me food, hmm... what is this thing? It's quite delicious, I've never had it before..."

  Everyone heard that this was absolutely the voice of the man who brought them here. No one hesitated anymore and rushed into the tomb chamber.

  A huge tomb chamber, also with transparent walls. The four corners of the tomb chamber were lit by long-lasting lamps, which weren't too bright but illuminated the chamber quite clearly. Moreover, when everyone rushed in, they all turned on their flashlights, casting a pale light on the faces of the people inside the chamber.

  Tall and robust, with a bronze-colored skin, a pair of eagle-like sharp eyes, slightly bull-nosed, lips like an eagle's beak, and no clothes on his body, it was indeed that man!

  The man's image has changed slightly, with a pair of beast ears on his head, similar to the cat ears of Jiu Ming, but sharper. On top of his bronze-colored double horns, a tail extends out, similar to that of a fox, white and fluffy, very long. Because everyone rushed in suddenly, the man was clearly unprepared, and his tail even stood up straight.

  The man was still naked, not wearing a single piece of clothing, but on his body was actually coiled a huge python, the python curled up from the man's leg, wrapped around one of the man's legs, then climbed onto his slender waist, and then climbed onto his left arm.

  The giant snake looked extremely docile, coiled around the man's body, its white scales and the man's dark bronze skin forming a striking contrast, giving off an eerie glow...
