Chapter 085: We Are Developed
Just when Gong Changyu was about to fall to the bottom of the pool where the rocks pierced the air, there was a loud rumbling sound from the bottom of the water, and the stones were washed to both sides by a magical force.
Then a stream of spring water rushed out of the bottom of the pool, and immediately expanded into a column of air and water with a diameter of more than two meters, the height reached about 10 meters, and the steam mass at the top of the column continued to tumble and leap, the scene was spectacular, and Gong Changyu was rushed into the air by the water column gushing out. The red robe on his body wrapped in Gong Changyu flew with the wind, like a roc spreading its wings.
The water below rose rapidly, and soon disappeared into the originally dry bottom. The water column fell, and soon Gong Changyu at the top of the water column fell into the depths of the waterhole again, and the whole person was gone.
"What about the generals?" Chen Yun on the cave anxiously looked into the waterhole.
Before long, Gong Changyu surfaced and was unscathed. He exclaimed in the pool: "Damn, how has this water become hot!" You can't see a monster underwater, right? β
Seeing that Gong Chang was in danger and was still talking lively, the soldiers around the waterhole couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and shouted together: "General, swim to the shore quickly!" β
The feeling of heaven is refreshing, but it is also dangerous. Gong Changyu, who was a little numb, felt that the water in the pool was warm, but he was afraid that the geyser water would spew out again from the bottom of the water and send himself to the clouds, so he didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly stretched out his arms, paddled desperately in the water, and came to the water's edge.
A few minutes later, another jet of water erupted from the bottom of the water, and the momentum was even more ferocious than the first time, but at this time, Gong Changyu was already standing on the edge of the pool. Then there were four or five intermittent eruptions of water from the bottom of the water, and finally the wind and waves calmed down.
"The waterhole suddenly rushed out of the water column, can't there be a little white dragon in it?" The frightened Gong Changyu twisted the hem of his wet clothes.
"General, the little white dragon has become an immortal with Tang Sanzang's Western Heaven scriptures, how can it be hidden in this small pool?" A soldier said with a smile.
"Oh, too. I've never seen such a special waterhole that sprays water automatically. When I was in mid-air just now, my body was light and my back was hot, I thought I was dead......" Gong Changyu wiped the water beads on his face.
"General, if you don't die in this catastrophe, you will have a blessing in the future," Xu Nuo took the opportunity to compliment......
"Who knows if there is a future blessing, but with this sentence to you, General Ben is a lot more steady." Gong Changyu is not taboo about the word 'death'.
"General, why don't we climb up to where Chen Yun stands?" Xu Nuo asked.
"Do you still want to ask?" Gong Changyu rubbed his hands, "The military advisor is alone in the cabin, and only by taking this road can we get ahead of Jiang Changyi."
"Now that the water in the pool has risen so high, how can we go up?" Another soldier, Jian Yao, frowned.
"Give me the torch." Gong Changyu raised his hand and said, "Let me see if there are any stone nests on both sides of the waterhole." β
"Yes, General." Jian Yao handed over the torch.
Gong Changyu held the torch high and walked around the edge of the waterhole twice, but did not find a stone nest that could be climbed: "Go into the water, swim directly to the bottom where Chen Yun is standing." β
"General, we are not used to water, so we still can't go." Jian Yao waved his hand.
"Neither will we." The rest chimed in.
"Landlubbers, you can't help it." Gong Changyu shook his head helplessly, "Give me the saber, Jian Yao." β
"General, what are you going to do?" Jian Yao was puzzled.
"Chop bamboo." Gong Changyu replied. After speaking, he took out the saber on Jian Yao's body, ran into the woods, quickly cut off four or five bamboos, and slipped to the edge of the waterhole.
At this time, the guards suddenly realized that Gong Changyu was going to build a simple pontoon bridge to the bottom of the stone wall, they cut some vines by the waterhole, tied them to the bamboo one by one, and soon a pontoon bridge eight or nine meters long was built, and everyone worked together to push the bamboo raft down the waterhole.
In less than a quarter of an hour, everyone arrived at the cave where Chen Yun was squatting, and in order to save fuel, the two shared the same torch and entered the cave one after another.
As the cave went deeper and deeper, the air inside became thinner and thinner, and half of the people felt tightness in their chests and shortness of breath. Gong Changyu immediately asked his entourage to extinguish half of the torches, and the five people shared one torch, otherwise the limited oxygen in the cave would be consumed because of breathing and burning.
"Chen Yun, how far is it?" Gong Changyu was so anxious that he couldn't do it.
"General, I don't know how far it will go." Chen Yun responded, he looked up at the top of the cave, there was a stone texture that looked like a dragon and not a dragon, "After here, it should only be a quarter of an hour away." β
"Hmm. Can we go faster, I'm so worried about my daughter-in-law's situation......" Gong Changyu's clothes were steaming.
"General, it can't be any faster. Maybe there will be poisonous snakes and vampire bats hiding in this cave, so we have to be extra careful. Chen Yun responded.
"Vampire bats can't exist, that's just recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas." Xu Nuo disagreed, "It is possible to have a poisonous snake. β
"Whatever. Keep going. Gong Changyu waved his hand.
In the light of the fire, the crowd walked very cautiously along the stone wall, one by one. It didn't take long for a very narrow hole to appear in front of everyone's eyes, just enough for one person to crawl through.
"That's too narrow." Gong Changyu put the torch in his waist, hunched over and slowly climbed into the small hole, he stuck to the ground before passing.
After crawling for more than ten meters, he finally came out, and the grizzled Gong Changyu took a long breath, he was wet all over, unable to light the torch in his hand, so he had to wait for the person behind to come over as soon as possible.
The soldiers on the other side also climbed over, and came in with torches to take a look, and oh my God, the inner cave was suddenly lit up everywhere, and the cave was as bright as day. The golden jewels were piled up, but in the middle of the jewels crawled with black vipers, and these snakes were not afraid when they saw the fire, but still crossed their bodies, tilted their heads, and made a slight voice to this group of uninvited guests, as if to warn: "This is our territory, we are not allowed to take everything here, you get out of here!" β
"So much gold and silver jewelry, why didn't I see it last time?" Chen Yun felt very strange, and was about to walk over there after speaking.
"Chen Yun, I can't go over. These snakes are not ordinary snakes, and once bitten by them, there is no cure. Gong Changyu grabbed Chen Yun's hand.
"General, I won't be insatiable, go get a few gold ingots, and I'll be back soon." Chen Yun broke free of Gong Changyu's hand and said with a smile.
"Not a single ingot. These ingots are guarded by poisonous snakes, and if they don't belong to us, it's better not to keep them for yourself. Gong Changyu warned Chen Yun and said.
"General, don't take it for nothing, if each of us takes some of these flying windfalls, we can buy fields and land, live in a mansion when we go home, and we can also marry three wives and four concubines, think about how beautiful it is." Xu Nuo was also moved, and encouraged Chen Yun to move forward.
"Yes, yes, all these treasures of gold and silver are ours."
"Haha, pie really fell from the sky, it hit us!"
"General, you can give the order, let's take as many as we can back to the camp."
"Why don't I go first, go to the camp and call some more people over, and move all the gold and silver treasures here?"
"Haha, we're all developed!" β¦β¦
The rest of the soldiers also followed suit, one by one elated, ready to try. Gong Changyu's face was dark, he didn't say a word, and the dozen or so attendants were still chattering in his ears. Of course, no one dared to rush over to get the gold, silver and jewels without his orders.
"General, make a decision. What a waste of these treasures to stay in this cave and never see the light of day. Chen Yun's eyes lit up, staring at the dazzling purple night pearls, and his saliva was almost dripping.
"Chen Yun, General Ben told you that you are not allowed to take any of the things here, and those who violate the order will be severely punished." Gong Changyu gritted his teeth and tried his best to stop the dozen or so followers.
"General, aren't we joining the army just to increase our official ranks, return to our hometown, and glorify our ancestors! These things are all given to us by God, mountains of gold and silver, you don't want it, we want it. Brothers, come on! Chen Yun couldn't control himself anymore at this time, his greedy nature exploded in the face of this huge temptation, and he was the first to rush towards the jewel, and Xu Nuo also rushed over.
Chen Yun was extremely fast, and he fell down to the purple night pearl at once, he was ecstatic, he kept picking up the jewelry with both hands, and simply took off his clothes and helmet until he couldn't fit it: "General, it's very safe, why are you still stunned!" Come and get itβ"
"Chen Yun, come back soon........." Gong Changyu shouted in a lost voice.
As soon as the words fell, there was a click, and a row of cold arrows suddenly swished out above the stone pier containing the Night Pearl, and Chen Yun and Xu Nuo were shot into hedgehogs in an instant, and their bodies were densely filled with poisonous arrows, and their eyes were wide open, as if they were unwilling.
"Hey, if you don't listen to my advice, you will die." Gong Changyu closed his eyes in pain.
Then the ground began to shake, and the hot solution gradually overflowed from both sides of the stone wall, and the pungent smell became stronger and stronger.
"Oh no, the mechanism here seems to have been triggered." A soldier shouted.
Gong Changyu opened his eyes and saw that a stone door at the exit in front of him was slowly falling, and then he looked at the back, and it was the same. He realized that this treasure cave was about to be completely sealed, and he couldn't get out if he didn't leave.
"Brothers, don't look at it. Come with me. Gong Changyu held a torch and was the first to rush through the stone gate in front. Seeing that the situation was not good, the soldiers behind no longer had the heart to pay attention to those mouth-watering mountains of gold and silver, so they rushed towards Gong Changyu's side.
