In the water, the huge waves were still churning, and Ritsukawa Kaede rushed left and right, and countless bullets were fired. He had several wounds on his face, all of which were scratched by the tentacles of an octopus. Taihe Jialiang was no better, and a deep blood mark was strangled on his neck.

"Ritsukawa-kun, quickly retreat to the platform above, I see that Xingyue Lao Dao and Xingtuo's grandson have run there, we will be more and more passive in the water!"

Ritsukawa Kaede didn't answer, waved his hand, and motioned for Taihe Jialiang to retreat to the platform first. Taihe Jialiang had no choice but to direct a group of people to retreat in the direction of the platform. It was only six or seven meters away, but there was a murderous octopus in the middle, and countless tentacles were churning on the water. Every tentacle is a murderous weapon, which is creepy.

Tai and Jialiang were in a hurry, and he pushed away his brother in front of him. Pulling down the bazooka from behind a person, with a "boom", a huge explosion exploded in the water, and countless large octopuses were blown away, and their stumps flew all over the holes. This cannon is very effective, and there are a lot fewer octopuses around. The remaining octopuses began to snatch the remains of their companions, and for a while, there were many fewer octopuses attacking people.

Kaede Ritsukawa felt that Tai and Kara's move was very effective, so he asked him to fire two more shells at the far end. It's also a good way to do it, because there are still a lot of octopuses swimming towards here, and it's still dangerous at any time. Tai and Ka Liang fired two more bullets to the far end, blowing up the entire underground space and trembling, and the waves of the water rushed on the surface of the water with the body of the octopus.

There was a brief lull, and everyone's ears were shaken by the cannonballs. Kaede Ritsukawa and Yoshira Taiwa hurriedly waved their hands and ordered the team to flee to the platform. When people climbed onto the platform one after another, they found that Lao Niu and the owner of Xingyue Island were gone.

"This old fox, look how I catch you", Taihe Jialiang gritted his teeth in anger.

People threw away their armor and were embarrassed, no one wore a mask, and many shivered with cold. Kaede Ritsukawa ordered someone to count the number of people. The final result was 21 people, and the underwater battle just now actually lost 13 subordinates. He was so angry that he slammed into the ground. He shouted: "This old guy fell for it, he lied to us!" ”

Taiwa Jialiang and Ritsukawa Kaede, who calmed down, carefully inspected the terrain, only to find that the space here is ridiculously large, and there are many large and small holes at six or seven meters above people's heads. It seems that no matter which hole you come from, you may fall into this underground pool. In this way, it's not all the ghosts of the Lord of Xingyue Island.

Now that you've fallen here, you won't be able to find your way out for a while, so it's better to take advantage of the situation and find the Black Snake Island vault, maybe there will be unexpected gains. This is Ritsukawa Kaede's idea, after all, this time the division went smoothly, and as soon as he landed on the island, he seized 14 Black Snake Badges, which is the key to opening the vault.

The team of Kaede Ritsukawa and Taiwa Yoshira suffered a big loss in the underground of Black Snake Island due to lack of preparation. The octopus in the water has gradually receded, and the owner of Xingyue Island and Lao Niu have disappeared. Thirteen brothers died in an instant, and some of the brothers' severed limbs were still floating in the dark waters. The 21 people who escaped from the danger zone were also terrified, and none of these people, including Kaede Ritsukawa, had experienced such a terrifying underground journey. Only Taihe Jialiang looked indifferent, because he was a person who had experienced the journey of searching for gold in the Toad Mountain Cave of Changbai Mountain. The horror of that time was no less than that of Black Snake Island, when in the Toad Mountain, giant bats, blood creepers, yellow skin kings, huge toads, blood fir trees, wild boar herds, various deep-water hot springs, hanging mountain stiffness, plus the men and horses brought by Huaxiong, tortured Taihe Jialiang to death, and finally he escaped with only a few brothers.

"Taihe Jialiang, in which direction are we looking?" Squatting in the groove of the platform, Ritsukawa Kaede, who couldn't look up, asked.

Taihe Jialiang is obviously the most daring and experienced person. He said calmly: "The terrain at the bottom of this cave is complicated, and there are so many octopuses under the water that people can't cope with it. We can only pass along the various platforms on the edge of this rock, and there is definitely not only an octopus danger here, but we also need to be extremely careful, and we must not lose our personnel needlessly. Just now, it was because I was too careless that I fell for that old way of Xingyue. We people can't be separated, it's easy to get lost, and now we're divided into three groups of seven people, and each group is assigned a rocket launcher. Three groups of men and horses walked the same road, 50 meters apart, so that one would have a response, and the other would not be wiped out in the event of sudden danger, so I would take six brothers to walk in front of the group."

The big man Taihe Jialiang said righteously, and everyone nodded one after another. These brothers are all people invited by Kaede Ritsukawa and Taiwa Yoshira, there are brothers on the underworld, there are retired self-defense members, and there are experienced field explorers. These people have a lighter view of life and death than ordinary people. Now, Taihe Jialiang's status is obviously higher than Ritsukawa Kaede, because his reaction ability in dangerous situations is stronger, if it wasn't for Taihe Jialiang to launch a rocket just now, it is estimated that everyone would have died in the mouth of the giant octopus.

Ritsukawa Kaede also agreed with Taiwa Karaze's point of view, and immediately divided into groups, Taiwa Kaede led a group of six brothers to open the way in front, and behind them were seven other people, the leader was called Yoshii Noai, and Ritsukawa Kaede with six people was the last group. Immediately, three groups of centaurs slowly moved forward on the so-called platform where the rocks protruded. Before leaving, Taiwa Yoshira, Ritsukawa Kaede, and Yoshiino decided on the main purpose of the journey. The first is to find the vault of the Black Snake Force, look for a device similar to a stone gate on the stone wall, and also pay attention to whether there are any small holes similar to the 15 badge-shaped holes mentioned by the Lord of Xingyue Island. The second purpose is to count the caves above your head or on the cliff wall, that is, to find the exit, and see which one can go out smoothly. All the openings are marked, one is a raw hole, one is a dead hole, and one is an unpredictable hole. The three groups of centaurs used flares as signals, firing red flares was dangerous, and firing white flares was a major discovery.

The three groups of men and horses distributed the supplies, unified the caliber, and went on the road in order. The so-called passage on the rocks is actually walking on the rocks protruding from the rocks, and you need to be very careful with the dim light of a flashlight. If you're not careful, you'll fall into the water, and there's a huge group of huge octopuses waiting for you.

Taiwa Kaliang walked at the front of the line, and the brother behind him, as he walked, counted the holes above his head, marking the marks under the thicker holes. From time to time, one or two tentacles stretched out in the water, which showed that there were octopuses in the water, and these monsters had grown so big without knowing what nutritious things they had eaten. If this kind of thing is sold to the market, it should be sky-high.

The space at the bottom of the island was very tortuous, and Taiwa Kara struck the rocks with his pickaxe as he climbed forward, believing that if the vault was hidden in the rocks, it should be deduced by sound.

"It's too cold in this cave, by the way, why aren't there bats here?" I don't know who said this, Taihe Jialiang also realized that there are really no bats here, this cold and wet environment is the most popular place for bats to live, why there is no one here.

There is an even more strange thing, Taihe Jialiang found a lot of water stains on the rocks, the reason why the water stains here are obvious, is that this is sea water, there are salt particles in the various depressions of the black rocks, this trace is very obvious that the water has been flooded here, he took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp, because he found that there are also water traces at the top of this space, which is nearly six meters "high in the sky".

These water traces appeared not long ago, Taihe Jialiang pinched the salt grains and smelled them, they were fresh. These geographical common senses are difficult for Taihe Jialiang, because he has not been to the wild to explore these years, so he naturally knows this natural phenomenon. The water rises so often that it can flood the entire underground space, so it's no wonder there are no bats on the cliffs here.

So, when will the water rise? This is a huge red flag. Taihe Jialiang did not hesitate, and immediately wrote his discovery with a highlighter on the rock, which means that the water here will rise regularly, and inform the two groups behind him.

Just as Taihe Jialiang was writing on the black rock, there were four eyes staring at them tightly in a rock crevice fifteen or sixteen meters away from him, and the owners of these four eyes were the owner of Xingyue Island and Lao Niu. The two of them hid there quietly, and every move of the Japanese entered their eyes. The Lord of Xingyue Island was secretly surprised, and he thought: "This big Japanese man has two strokes, and he can see that the water here can rise regularly, this is a secret that only my Star Moon Island Lord knows. It seems that I underestimated these Japanese, and if they had searched so carefully, they might have found those 15 small caves!

Taiwa Jialiang continued to move forward, followed by the other personnel. After about five hours of walking, they walked almost the entire underground space. They had walked almost everywhere, except that they had not waded into the water, and they had seen almost all the rock faces. Several of the team members fell into the water under their feet several times, but fortunately they were quickly rescued by others without casualties.

"According to the report, there are a total of 101 holes, of which 9 are living roads, and it is basically certain that they can be exited, and they are all clearly marked." Taiwa Yoshira and Ritsukawa Kaede, who had already converged, listened to the report of the team members, and they were both surprised and disappointed. Surprisingly, there are 101 caves gathered here, which means that more than half of the caves on Black Snake Island eventually lead here. Disappointed, no trace of the vault was found, let alone 15 small holes or markings like the Black Snake Emblem. Could it be that he was fooled and deceived by the escaped Star Moon Island Lord, and the vault was not under this at all?
