Chapter Seventy-One: Treasure Hunting at the River Bottom

The orc legions that sneaked in quickly disappeared from Locke's vision.

"Seth City is fine, but what about the building materials? The castle can't be upgraded! What about other building facilities? Locke frowned and muttered to himself, then turned to Charlie beside him and said, "Hurry up and go back to rest, go to the northwest to check the place of energy source at dawn, and hurry back to the city when you're done." With that, he rolled over and got on its back and quickly returned to camp.

Because the knights had set up a shield around it beforehand, the light of the bonfire here did not attract the attention of the orc legions.

At dawn the next day, Locke stuffed all nine sets of portal equipment into the steppe in the city, leaving only one set in the carriage to follow the large army.

The space ring can't hold these teleportation equipment, not because of the size, but because the energy fluctuations revealed by the runes on it will interfere with the core origin of the space equipment, so it can't be put away.

A total of 121 horses and a carriage galloped forward at great speed, although the 20 bipedal dragons in front of them who were responsible for opening the way showed pity on their faces when they saw the fleeing beasts scattered around them, but the king's orders must be obeyed no matter what!

Originally expected to take 1 day to arrive, it took less than half a day, and at about 14 o'clock in the afternoon, they finally arrived at the source of energy, a wide and turbulent river, it should be said that it is a big river.

Locke went down to the ground and walked slowly to the river, looking at the turbulent position of the water, if there was a treasure at the bottom of the river that could emit energy and had not been found so far, Locke believed it.

Unless they are carrying an oxygen tank, normal creatures will not be able to dive in such a rapid current for 30 seconds, and the floating rocks and trees alone can smash the creature who is holding his breath.

And one more thing, it's definitely home to giant aquatic creatures!

"Interesting."

Locke nodded, raised his arm, stretched out the three fingers in the middle, and waved forward, and suddenly the three skeleton knights behind him immediately dismounted, and began to remove the armor on their bodies when they walked to the river, and when the last piece of armor was stripped off, revealing the skeleton body with a layer of air bags inside, there was a crisp sound, and the three skeletons jumped directly in.

As early as the city deduced that the treasure might be hidden underwater, Locke asked the forge to temporarily rush to work on these three airbag suits that could allow the skeletons to float freely in the water, and of course only these three pieces.

It is indeed used now, but unfortunately the calculation is wrong, and Locke did not expect it to be in such a turbulent river.

"No matter how meticulous the plan is, in the end it can't catch up with the change in form." Locke shook his head, and then infiltrated the river with consciousness as the skeletons were rapidly swinging their bodies in waves.

The dim river was more complicated than Locke had expected, and the violent impact of the water almost burst the air sacs on the skeleton's body.

Under Locke's control, the three skeletons barely approached slowly in the direction of the energy at the bottom of the river.

Suddenly, a figure around them rushed towards them at an extremely fast speed, and Locke didn't even think about directly causing one of the skeletons to float up immediately, and swam in another direction with an escape stance.

With a muffled thud, a huge catfish creature swallowed the skeleton in one gulp, while quickly grazing the upper parts of the remaining two skeletons - almost wiped out!

After a while, the two skeletons reached the bottom of the river safely, and Locke controlled one of them to turn his head to look around, what seemed to be the wreckage of a giant merchant ship, and the energy source was buried in the sand pit at the breach of the big ship.

Aside from the aquatic plants and other black substances that blocked the view, the two skeletons quickly gouged the sand pit at the bottom of the river with both hands, and after a while, a large golden treasure chest appeared in front of them, and suddenly, the energy increased in vain!

"Treasure chest! Energy Treasure! ”

Locke, who was far away on the shore, suddenly opened his eyes and subconsciously spoke, took one last look at the turbulent river, closed his eyes again, suppressed his excitement, and began to control the skeletons to drag the treasure chest out of the sand pit and then quickly drag it up and float up.

Looking at the box that was getting closer and closer, Locke's heart began to beat violently, and he faintly prayed for the big fish in his heart......

The big catfish sprinted at great speed from a distance again.

"Lao Tzu swore to see a catfish and kill a !! in the future" Locke's eyes suddenly lit up, and he roared as he controlled one of the skeletons to swim in the direction of the catfish, and then immediately swam in the other direction, which instantly took away the attention of the big guy.

"Quick! Fast! Fast! Locke gritted his teeth as he manipulated the last skeleton and dragged the box upstream—he could already see the light on the water!

At this time, the big catfish below came again, this time directly from the bottom to the top, no matter which direction the skeleton swam, it and the treasure chest could only end up in the belly of the fish.

“son of a bitch!” Chinese is too discordant, English replaced.

Locke cursed unbearably, trying his best to suppress the urge to jump into the river himself, and controlled the skeleton to rush quickly to the surface.

"It's not close! It's a little bit closer! Wait for me, you damn salted fish! ”

Unfortunately, the catfish is getting closer and closer, and it has begun to open its mouth to devour, and the skeleton is still about 1 meter away from the surface of the river, but even if it does, it is about 5 or 6 meters from the river bank......

Now Locke is full of despair, such a large box, the energy revealed in it is quite abundant, definitely no less than the energy emitted by the three magic crocodiles in the city.

The catfish below is already close to the soles of the skeleton's feet.....

That's it?

"No!!" Locke, who was originally like ashes, suddenly burst into green fire again in his eyes, "How could Lao Tzu lose to a stinky salted fish!" Never!! ”

With a loud roar, the skeleton in the water lifted the box and slammed it towards the shore with all his might.

Boom ——!!!

A huge catfish suddenly burst out on the surface of the river, and when it jumped out of the water, it was almost as tall as a building.

And when Locke looked up at it, a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Taken out of the river by the catfish, a large number of splashes scattered in mid-air, a golden box rubbing the cheeks of the catfish was slammed, like a volleyball, and the box flew towards Locke's direction in an instant.

"Oh——! Hahahaha——!! ”

Locke screamed and subconsciously wanted to reach out to catch it, and then immediately let Charlie behind him bite his clothes, so that he did not stumble and fall into the river.

Bang——!!

The treasure chest grazed the top of his head at great speed, and quickly smashed into the ground behind him, and with a bang, a large number of blue luminaries loaded inside scattered to the ground...... (To be continued)
