Chapter 274: Treasure Hunt

Fan Siqin sat on the back of the tiger's head, Qianmo sat on the neck of the tiger's brain with Songhua in his arms, and the silver dollar followed closely behind Su Tong, and the old man Zhou took me to go treasure hunting in the direction indicated by Songhua.

Through the dense forest, over the creek, we came to a valley full of wildflowers. The insects and birds in the valley were singing and cheering, which made us linger, but Songhua kept urging us not to stop, and led us to the depths of the valley.

The further you go, the more tall shrubs there are, the light gets dimmer and the thin clouds slowly rise. We had to let go of our consciousness and carefully observe the surroundings, and were surprised to find that there was a not very complete skeleton three or five meters away from the big tree in this forest, and those skeletons had no luster after years of wind and sun.

We walked in for a while, and the further we went, the thicker the fog became, and the more bones there were.

The more I walked, the more frightened my heart became, and I asked Songhua and said, "Songhua, are you sure you brought us here to hunt for treasure, not to hunt for death?"

Songhua replied affirmatively: "Believe me, I can already smell the smell of treasures getting stronger and stronger." ā€

Su Tong asked Songhua: "Can you smell the smell of elixir or the smell of treasure?"

Songhua's nose wrinkled, and she took a hard breath and said, "It seems to be the smell of treasures, and there is also the aroma of some elixir in the middle." ā€

As she spoke, Su Tong stepped on a skeleton as warm as jade carelessly, she exclaimed in surprise and jumped up suddenly.

Old Man Zhou stepped forward and bent down to take a closer look and said, "This seems to be the skeleton of the deputy person, looking at the degree of jade of this skeleton, you can judge that this person's cultivation is at least a Yuan Infant Cultivator." ā€

Dad asked suspiciously, "We also have gods on earth?"

Old Man Zhou nodded and shook his head again, saying, "It is estimated that it was a long time ago, and now you don't even have any aura here, and it is more difficult to cultivate immortals than to ascend to the sky." ā€

We left the white jade skeleton and walked forward for about a kilometer or so, and found a huge sinkhole, the width of the sinkhole could not be seen at a glance, and the depth of the sinkhole was about 1560 meters.

As soon as she approached the sinkhole, Songhua jumped down from the tiger's brain, pointed to the bottom of the pit and said, "Treasure, treasure is down there." After saying that, it was not afraid of death and was about to jump down, but Old Man Zhou waved his hand and brought it back, patted its little head and said, "You little thing who wants money and doesn't want to die, you wait for me to probe and there is no danger before you go down." ā€

Old Man Zhou carefully checked the terrain around the sinkhole. He ran tirelessly into the jungle to catch a pheasant, broke his neck and threw it into the sinkhole, and instantly there was a creaking chewing sound at the bottom of the pit.

I cautiously probed my senses in, and my heart fluttered and I took it back. I saw tens of thousands of silver-gray rats more than a foot long at the bottom of the pit constantly rushing towards the pheasant, and in less than a second, the pheasant didn't even have a bit of dregs left.

Su Tong didn't dare to look down, she asked me, "Mom, what do you see?"

I pretended to be light-hearted and said, "It's nothing, it's just a few mice." ā€

Su Tong saw my smile that was more ugly than crying, and asked a little puzzled, "Are there only a few mice?"

Seeing that I didn't want to tell the truth, Old Man Zhou couldn't help but interject and said: "It's mice, but it's not just a few, I visually see that there are about tens of thousands of rats in it." ā€

"There are so many rats!" My mother, who is usually very afraid of mice, exclaimed, "Let's go back quickly, it will be troublesome for the rats to climb up in a while, and we won't be able to run away then." ā€

Dad also said angrily next to him: "Yes, yes, let's go quickly, although you are much more powerful than ordinary people, but you can deal with thousands of rats, tens of thousands of rats you can't prevent at all, hurry up." ā€

Old Man Zhou comforted them and said: "Don't panic, don't be afraid, these rats can't get out of the sinkhole, if they can get out of the sinkhole, they would have come out a long time ago, and they still have to wait below to grab a pheasant?"

Although Mr. Zhou's words were very certain, but I still had a retreat in my heart, feeling that I couldn't take a large family to the sinkhole so recklessly, I said to Mr. Zhou very implicitly: "There are so many rats below, just a few of us will definitely go to find death single-handedly, we don't seem to lack any elixir and treasures, let's not go down to the sinkhole first, I think it's better to go back." ā€

Old Man Zhou pondered for a while and said, "I have a very familiar feeling about this sinkhole, and I want to go down and take a look." You stay up there and wait for me to go down and finish the rats, and then you can come down again. ā€

I nodded and told Old Man Zhou, "Okay, you have to be careful when you go down." ā€

Old Man Zhou was bold, he took out a dark robe from the storage bag and put it on his body, and then took out a curtain-like thing and put it on his head. Then he pulled out another pair of gold-wire gloves and put them on his hands. After carefully inspecting it from head to toe, he jumped into the air and stepped on the stone pits on both sides of the sinkhole and slowly approached the bottom of the sinkhole.

Old Man Zhou went down for a long time. Silently, there was neither the screams of the rats being killed, nor the cries for help of Old Man Zhou. We stayed on it in a state of anxiety, and no one dared to speak. Each of them kept thinking about what might happen below.

Just when I was anxious and nervous, calculating whether to contact Caibi quickly and ask him to come over to collect the body of Old Man Zhou, Old Man Zhou shouted under the sinkhole: "It's safe down there, let's come down quickly." ā€

Hearing Old Man Zhou's words, the big stone in my heart fell to the ground all of a sudden, and beckoned my parents to go down to the sinkhole to take a look. The old mother imagined the scene of the mice being killed by the old man Zhou all over the field, and the resistance in her heart became stronger and stronger, she took her father's hand and said: "Old man, you accompany me above, I won't die this time." ā€

Dad was full of curiosity about the bottom of the road, and he really wanted to explore the sinkhole. He looked at me in embarrassment and hoped I could help him say something.

I thought for a moment and said, "Mom, we're all going down, leaving you and Dad on top, in case a beast comes over and you can't run, you might as well go down with us!"

My mother resisted and said, "No, I'm afraid, I'm afraid that if I step on a dead rat, I'll be in trouble." ā€

I comforted my mother and said, "There will be no dead mice, Mr. Zhou has already dealt with them, so you can rest assured and boldly go down with us." ā€
