Chapter 153: Exploring the Bottom of the Lake
"Is this the key that the Fleur sisters have dreamed of and worked so hard to get?" I asked.
"Yes. Red Boy said.
The door opened, and there was a lot of space inside, but the light was a little dim, but you could still see many large iron boxes, stacked one by one, like a warehouse.
I polished the cryolite and the lamp immediately illuminated the room.
"I finally found it, and this is the treasure. Red Boy said calmly.
I glanced around, and saw a lot of pearl agate and other jewelry scattered around the foot of the box on the ground, and the red boy jumped to the top box next to him, and opened it to see that it was really a whole box of gold ingots.
He opened a few more boxes to check, in addition to gold, there are pearls, agate, crystals, all kinds of rare jade toys, etc., almost all of them are classified into whole boxes, which makes the precious things that are usually precious seem to be worthless here.
"Are these true?" I suspected.
"How can it be fake? This is only a small part of the old fox king's wealth, and it is for the old vulture to take care of," said the red boy.
"He only has one daughter, the jade-faced fox, and that's enough for her to eat and wear, what's the use of him asking for so much wealth? I sighed.
Even if the old vulture is just a custodian, it still attracts thieves like the Red Boy and the Fleur sisters to steal and lose their lives, is it really worth it?
There was a passage in the middle of the chamber, and the red boy was walking through the stacks of tall boxes on both sides, roughly estimated to be more than a hundred.
He thought about how to get these boxes out unobtrusively, and finally decided to go back to the Fire Cloud Cave for the time being to discuss with them before making plans.
"Aren't you afraid that Sister Fleur will come back and find out the mechanism?" I asked.
He was still annoyed and said: "So I said that I should have killed them a long time ago to prevent future troubles, which shows that I can't do things with the kindness of a woman, and I hesitate." ”
I didn't think about it, and blurted out, "Then I know now." ”
As soon as the words came out, the red boy's starry eyes suddenly looked at me fixedly.
I almost swallowed my tongue with remorse, knowing that this little demon king didn't blink an eye when he killed people, didn't I remind him? I really have nothing to look for, and if I don't die, I will look for death.
"That's right," the red boy suddenly laughed, "I really have to kill you, if you steal so much treasure, I'll be busy in vain, say, how do you want to die?"
"I'm joking,,, Red Boy, this thing is so good, let's find it together, at most I don't want a seed, I'll give it all to you, it's not possible?" I timidly hoped that he would be kind.
He blinked, "That won't work, if you die, the treasure will still be mine, and I'm more at ease." "He's very happy and comfortable.
I jumped backwards a foot away from him, and this guy really didn't have any conscience, and alas, what treasure did I help him find?
When he saw my nervous embankment, he laughed even more, and with a flash of red shadow, he stood in front of me, "Can you be faster than me?"
"Red boy," I begged, "I promise not to tell anyone about the treasure, in fact, even if I go out of the island, I will only accompany the master and them to the Western Heavens, and the disciples of the Buddhist family emphasize that the four are empty, and the treasure is of no use to me at all." ”
"You're going to follow them to the West Heaven again?" he was stunned, as if he hadn't expected it.
"Yes," I had nowhere else to go, and I was sad myself.
He was bored, bowing his head and not speaking, but he stood where he was.
I paid close attention, could it be that he was finally moved by what I said and changed his mind?" "You see, I don't pose any threat to you, and I can even guarantee that you won't see me again in the future,"
"No!" he intercepted me, "I mean,,, it's okay if I don't kill you, unless you're one of my people, you sign a deal, promise to be my follower forever, or join the Huoyun Cave, so I have no reason to kill my own people." ”
How is that possible? Isn't that just a summoning girl? Let me join the Huoyun Cave, and in the end, I won't just listen to you, so I might as well kill me. I hated it in my heart.
He saw my reluctance, "Why, why not? Can't I protect you?
"No, I'm used to being free, I can't stand the restraints, and besides, the last time you made a fuss in the Huoyun Cave, you couldn't get off the stage, and I really let me join, I can't keep what it will be? You know, I don't like to be punished, and when the time comes, I don't always have that good luck. ”
The red boy fell silent again, and after a while, he said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for the time being." ”
Well, what does that mean? Really don't kill me? Since he has a change of heart, it is better not to say anything more, and go out after him, and find another way to leave him.
The red boy walked around the perimeter of the chamber again, walked to the wall of the chamber, touched it, and looked, "I say, it turns out that this chamber is built under the bottom of the lake. ”
"Under the bottom of the lake?" I was shocked.
"Yes, even though the walls are made of water-repellent materials, they still feel very damp to the touch. ”
"Didn't you say that there were snails and nuts guarding the bottom of the lake?
"Not necessarily, if the old vulture had trusted them, he wouldn't have dumbfounded them, for fear that they would find out the secret, and that it would leak out. He acted so carefully that he didn't even know about the Fleur sisters beside him, let alone the two who stayed in the water all day. "Red Boy Analysis.
"That's peculiar, what do they do under the lake all day?" I asked again.
"It's very strange, I went to the bottom of the lake for a while last time, and they picked me up, but I also looked at it casually, there is no mystery, what is the purpose of the old vulture sending people to guard it?" he thought for a moment, "Tomorrow we will go to the bottom of the lake to explore and see what is going on." ”
Coming out of the secret room, it was smooth sailing, and the red boy was worried about the idea of the Fleur sisters coming back to fight for the treasure at any time, so she put away the key and the book "Steps" and took it with her at any time.
The next day, we went down to the bottom of the lake, and after walking for a while, we saw the male nut blocking the way, and gesturing for us to go up.
Where is the red boy willing to follow, insisting on going around the bottom of the lake, and threatening the death of those who stand in the way.
Nut Nut looked at each other, they knew that the current owner of the island was Red Child, and he was not his opponent, but they were used to obeying the orders of the old vulture, and they were used to turning away those who explored the lake without permission. The couple finally gave up respectfully.
This exploration surprised us, because from the edge of the bottom of the lake, the lake was far less large than what we saw above.
