Chapter 5: The Purpose of the Third Key
"Gollum ......"
The yellow spring, which was originally turbid, churned up from time to time with bubbles, making the water in the puddle even more turbid.
The slender tentacles, crossed together, like a large net, poked into the muddy puddle in front of them.
I saw that the big head monster's huge eyeballs had rolled their eyes, and even foamed at the mouth.
Under the great fear, the big-headed monster was already on the verge of fainting.
On weekdays, he would never have come near Huangquan.
There are so many secrets hidden here.
For a low-level lonely ghost like him, it was completely a forbidden area.
But now, the big-headed monster could only watch as its slender tentacles poked into the puddle.
"Touch carefully, don't worry about what you catch, just pull me out!"
Behind the reef, Ding Xiaoyi poked out half of his head and shouted.
In fact, the puddles that Ding Xiaoyi chose were not deep or big, and those puddles that were too deep, Ding Xiaoyi did not dare to venture into them easily for the time being.
I saw the dense tentacles of the big-headed monster, which played a very satisfactory effect to Ding Xiaoyi at this time.
Some strange-shaped things were pulled out by the big-headed monster one after another.
However, Ding Xiaoyi looked over and found that most of them were some gold and some black coral.
For these, Ding Xiaoyi carefully examined them, and a smile bloomed on his face for a while.
It's all money.
Some gold nuggets the size of a human head weigh more than ten pounds.
According to the current gold price, such a large and pure gold only needs one piece, which is enough for people to live a small life without worrying about food and clothing.
Oh, provided that you don't get sick, after all, although the Alliance Hospital has superb technology, the cost is also amazing.
If before today, Ding Xiaoyi might still think about how to make money.
But now, the gold that has been salvaged is enough to solve any troubles for himself.
The big-headed monster complained for a while, for fear that he would really catch something.
This is the Yellow Spring, and there is no way to know how many dangerous big-headed monsters are hidden in it, but instinctively makes him extremely in awe of the Yellow Spring.
In fact, if it weren't for the inexplicable smell of humans, he wouldn't have come near here.
Not only him, but even the other ghosts in the Netherworld, there is no need, and they definitely will not easily approach this vicinity.
At this time, the big-headed monster suddenly felt that his palm didn't know what he had caught.
The cold and biting feel of the hand, even the big-headed monsters who are also ghosts can't help but be a spirit all over their bodies.
Perhaps out of fear, the big-headed monster's tense body surprisingly cooperated with Ding Xiaoyi's order this time.
The tentacles like a large net tightened, dragging the hard mass of the water back quickly.
"Hurry up, pull back!"
Ding Xiaoyi stood behind the stone and saw the tentacles of the big-headed monster pull out a shellfish object from the puddle.
The black-purple shells shimmered in the faint light.
I don't know what it is, but Ding Xiaoyi clenched his fists and felt an inexplicable excitement.
The shells are slowly pulled up the stone steps.
After completing Ding Xiaoyi's order, the big-headed monster jumped and ran as if he was hiding from the plague god.
"Stop!"
It's a pity that Ding Xiaoyi is too satisfied with the big-headed monster, how could he let him escape.
With such a great strength, so many hands and feet, and a top ten coolies, I am afraid that I will never be able to find a second one with a lantern.
If you run away, you will lose a lot.
Ding Xiaoyi let the big-headed monster stand aside honestly, and he carefully measured the left and right ends in front of the purple shell in front of him.
Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help frowning, his fingers clenched into fists and dragged his chin to think about whether to open this purple shell.
After all, it is something salvaged from the Yellow Spring.
What's inside, exactly? I can't guarantee it.
But soon, Ding Xiaoyi decided to open it and take a look, on the one hand, to satisfy his strong curiosity.
On the other hand, doesn't the old man often say that you don't know if something is good or bad until you do it.
Therefore, I saw Ding Xiaoyi take two steps back, and said to the trembling big-headed monster behind him: "Up!" ”
Big-headed monster: Σ(°Д°; )
In the slurred sound of resistance from the mouth of the big-headed monster, the body still pounced on the purple shell very honestly.
One by one, the tentacles were wrapped around the purple shell, and the claws were in the cracks of the shells, and they began to force the shells open.
However, to Ding Xiaoyi's disappointment, even if the big-headed monster used all his strength, the purple shell in front of him was still unmoved.
Obviously, the difference in strength between the two is too great.
Seeing this, Ding Xiaoyi didn't continue to be reluctant, and let the big-headed monster pull the shell into the corner first.
Because at this time, Ding Xiaoyi had already noticed that the Yellow Spring, which had just receded, had begun to rise again at this time.
The turbid yellow spring water crashed on the reef in waves, quickly connecting with the large and small puddles.
Ding Xiaoyi stood on a high place, where he was sure that he was safe, carefully observing the fading puddles in front of him.
The raging waves gradually subsided until the water surface was quiet again, and the strange ridges, reefs, and deep pits and puddles that had been before were completely submerged under the Yellow Spring.
The endless Yellow Spring in front of him finally returned to the scene he had seen at first.
"Thirty minutes!"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the surface of the water and determined the time from low tide to high tide in his heart.
In a short period of time, if it weren't for the help of the big-headed monster, he would only be able to catch some gold at the edge of the Yellow Spring at most, and no matter how many things he did, he would not be able to do anything.
Not to mention the purple shells that were salvaged.
It's a great harvest.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly heard a fierce drum sound in his ears.
The drums came suddenly, like a surging river, like thousands of troops rushing towards them.
Under such a strong drumbeat, Ding Xiaoyi realized that he was already hungry with his chest against his back.
"I'm hungry......"
Not only was he hungry, Ding Xiaoyi also felt very thirsty.
Don't say it's food here, you don't even have saliva, and you're not a god.
Ben has been busy in the company until the night, and he has been tossing and turning here for so long.
I'm already hungry.
Although there were yellow springs in front of him and the purple shells that had just been salvaged, Ding Xiaoyi had no interest in eating them.
I'm a living person.
After Ding Xiaoyi reminded himself in his heart, he subconsciously groped into his trouser pocket with his palm to see what he could find.
With a touch of his palm, Ding Xiaoyi was stunned and took out a bunch of keys from his pocket.
There are three keys, one is the silver key to open the diary, and the other is the copper key to open the large wooden box.
All that was left was the black, thick iron key.
"What does this key do??"
Ding Xiaoyi looked at the black iron key and couldn't help but ponder.
None of the things that the old man left to himself were superfluous burdens.
Since it is three keys, these three keys must have corresponding uses.
When Ding Xiaoyi's palm was placed on the key to study carefully, Ding Xiaoyi suddenly found that there was a very fine line of handwriting on the handle of the key.
It's just that it's too dark for me to notice for a while.
I didn't notice it until I touched it.
【Firewood New House】
Although the handwriting is very small, it is easy to read, and Ding Xiaoyi groped his fingers and guessed the words written on it.
"Isn't this my home?"
At present, Ding Xiaoyi has made this place his home.
At least for Ding Xiaoyi, this is the old man's last gift to himself, even if this home is by the Yellow Spring.
Ding Xiaoyi's fingers stroked the key, and he couldn't help murmuring in his mouth, pondering the words on the key.
And at this moment, the key in his hand suddenly flashed.
Before Ding Xiaoyi came back to his senses, his figure was swallowed up by the light on the key.
"Drip ...... Squeak......"
With the screeching sound of brakes, Ding Xiaoyi subconsciously raised his palm to cover his eyes.
"Neurotic, are you looking for death!!"
Hearing the cursing sound in his ears, Ding Xiaoyi was stunned, squinted his eyes, and found that he was standing on a big road.
The neon lights flashed on the street in the distance, although there were no pedestrians, Ding Xiaoyi could recognize it, wasn't this the dock he was going to?
"I ...... I am back?? ”
Ding Xiaoyi was stunned and found that he had returned to reality from his new home in firewood.
It's the key!
Ding Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, and when he looked at the set of keys in his hand, his heart suddenly became excited.
"Phew, fool!!"
Seeing Ding Xiaoyi's appearance of not speaking, the driver scolded as if he had met a fool.
It's not uncommon anyway.
After all, in this era of high speed and efficiency, there will always be a few young people who can't bear the pressure and become a fool in this steel city.
Ding Xiaoyi ignored the driver's scolding, and his face was full of excitement.
It seems that the key in his hand is the entrance directly to the new house of firewood.
In other words, if you want to go back, you don't have to take that dilapidated hovercar anymore.
The thought of the hovering car, which seemed to be the last century, and the smell of burnt smell in the body, made people shiver all over the body.
At this time, Ding Xiaoyi was not in a hurry to go back.
Glancing around, he walked briskly in the direction of the dock ahead.
