After some struggle, Zhou Tieniu still decided to take a risk, and he couldn't let go of any opportunity to become stronger.

This is not only to live up to Ye Feng's expectations of him, but at the same time, he has long recognized the importance of strength.

Therefore, he is constantly in touch whenever he has free time, and his combat skills are much better than those of other soldiers, which is why he is able to lead these soldiers.

However, since he reached the peak of Tier 3 more than two months ago, it is impossible for him to increase his level unless he advances to Tier 4 Soldier or becomes a Tier 4 professional.

Advancing Level 4 soldiers need the guidance of the Intermediate Barracks or other people, and it is impossible for the Intermediate Barracks to have them in the short term, and Ye Feng doesn't know how to guide the Level 3 soldiers to advance.

What's more, Zhou Tieniu doesn't want to be just a soldier all the time, the soldier's upside is far less than that of a professional, and he is also eager to become a professional with a great future.

However, if a soldier wants to become a professional, he must either learn it himself through battle, or he will have adventures and luck against the sky.

This relic is an opportunity, and although there are dangers, there are often opportunities in danger. If you want to reap the benefits, how can you not bear a certain price?

However, Zhou Tieniu is not a reckless person, he knows that he needs to minimize the danger first and arrange other soldiers.

He was not ready to let other soldiers take risks together, not only because Ye Feng was very safe for the lives of soldiers, and he could not live up to the trust of his lord, but also because he had a deep relationship with these soldiers, and he couldn't let them take risks for his own selfishness.

After that, Zhou Tieniu first used the meat of foreign beasts to continuously attract the carnivorous fish in the lake and try to eliminate them as much as possible.

Although there will be some fish that slip through the net, as well as some alert aquatic animals and aggressive plants, this is already the limit of what he can do at the moment.

After more than three hours, it had been a long time since the monster had been attracted, and he finally stopped.

It is good to say that the other soldiers are waiting on the shore, Zhou Tieniu is wearing leather armor and holding a long knife, and a fierce man plunges into the icy lake water.

As a southerner, he is still familiar with water, although he can't be like a fish in water like a water army, but simple swimming is still no problem.

As soon as he entered the water, although he was mentally prepared, the icy water of the lake still made him shiver.

He knew that he couldn't rush now, and only when his body adjusted to the temperature of the water would he not drown due to cramps or stiff limbs.

After nearly ten minutes in the shallow water, the cold sensation in his body slowly subsided, and he began to swim deeper.

Thanks to the fact that the body of the 3rd Order Peak Soldier was very strong, the temperature did not affect him very much.

Swimming to the deep water, he could no longer see what was going on underwater, so he could only dive down to check it.

In this way, I groped little by little, not letting go of every place, and slowly approached the center of the lake in a circle along the shore of the lake.

At first, it was closer to the shore and didn't have much trouble, at most some aquatic plants got in the way.

When he was about 20 meters away from the center of the lake, he had his first big trouble and was attacked by a hidden Tier 2 monster fish.

If it is on the shore, he can easily kill this kind of opponent. It's a pity that the flexibility of the body in the water is greatly reduced, and the force is also affected.

This strange fish made him fall into a bitter struggle, and the battle in the water was more three-dimensional, and the attack of the strange fish was very difficult to defend against, and the attacks it sent out were easy to dodge.

Despite Zhou's combat experience and skill, he paid the price for leg and back injuries.

After killing the monster fish, he immediately returned to shore to treat his injuries and waited until his body was fully recovered before re-entering the lake.

The remaining area is much smaller, but the lake is also deeper, and there will be more dangers, so you have to be more careful.

After that, Zhou Tieniu encountered several aggressive plants and several aquatic monsters, and the most thrilling one was when he encountered a third-order monster frog.

He was no match at all in the water, so he could only desperately escape to shore, but fortunately, the strange frog also chased after him stupidly, so that he could solve this big trouble.

Less than five meters away from the center of the lake, Zhou Tieniu finally discovered a special place.

There was a ruined attic at the bottom of the lake, with only the top tip exposed to the silt, which he thought was the remnant of the map.

He was ecstatic and couldn't wait to enter the ruins. After observation, in order not to damage the contents inside, he decided to clean up the silt near this attic.

Every time I dug with a long knife for a few minutes, I needed to go up and change the air, and it took more than half an hour to dig out the top floor of the attic.

And he found that there was more than one floor in the attic, and he didn't know how many more. Looking at the towering mud around him, he didn't know if he could still dig down.

"Boom!"

Zhou Tieniu suddenly heard a loud noise, as if the heartbeat of something, the source of the sound was under his feet, I don't know if it was an illusion.

If you feel it carefully, you will find that your feet are very hard, as if you are stepping on a stone.

Touching it with his hand, it gave him the feeling of being an animal's shell, because it had lines, although the lines were spaced more than an inch apart.

It is inferred that this shell is very large, and it is very strange what kind of animal can have such a large shell.

"Boom!"

Hearing the voice again, he finally confirmed that he was not hallucinating.

In other words, there is a living animal below, and its size is very huge, and its strength can be imagined, at least not something he can deal with.

There was nothing to hesitate about, Zhou Tieniu decided to break the attic on this floor and get the things inside first.

As for whether it will damage the ruins and damage the items under the attic, there is no need to think about it for the time being.

Zhou Tieniu remembered that Ye Feng said: "A thousand birds are in the forest, it is better to have a bird in hand."

Quietly chopping the attic with a long knife, fortunately the attic was wooden. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it can hold on to it until now, and it is still very strong.

Soon Zhou Tieniu broke a big hole outside the attic on this floor, and the lake began to pour inside.

He hurried in, and after some fumbling, he only found something like a book.

Afraid of waking up the monsters below, Zhou Tieniu took his things and left immediately, and didn't put down his snacks until he returned to the shore.

"How's it going, Captain?" The soldiers on the shore immediately gathered around, wondering what he had gained.

"Let's go!"

He was still not completely relieved, and did not have time to say anything else, and took the soldiers away from this small lake.

It wasn't until he left nearly two kilometers that Zhou Tieniu asked the team to stop.

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"Captain, what's the catch?"

“……”

The soldiers immediately gathered around again, gossiping, so that he did not know who to answer first.

So he could only ask them to stop first: "It's all right." I haven't had time to see it yet. ”

As he spoke, he pulled out the items he had placed in his arms.
