The water monkey came and went quickly, and there was no water monkey in sight around Luo Lie and Wu Jie except for the blood mist that had not completely dispersed, and even the water monkey that was assassinated by Wu Jie was dragged into the pile of bones by his companions.

Although Luo Lie and Wu Jie were bold, they didn't dare to follow the water monkey to find out what was going on in the pile of bones.

At this time, Luo Lie saw a huge face in the white bone trench, he turned on the waterproof hand lamp he carried with him, and the beam of light illuminated the dim underwater world, but that face was a huge statue of the head of a warrior, Luo Lie preliminarily judged that this statue should be located in the bow of the ship at the earliest.

The statue depicts the mask of a samurai, and although it has sunk to the bottom of the water for hundreds of years, the horns on the mask are still shining with gold, which is believed to be the Japanese ship that transported the treasure in the past.

There is a hole in the left eye of the warrior statue, the diameter of the hole is about two meters, which can fully accommodate an adult to pass through, Luo Lie was still hesitating, but Wu Jie had already taken the lead in drilling into the left eye of the statue.

Luo Lie was worried that he had missed something, so he hurriedly followed, the beam of light shone into it, and a golden reflection suddenly appeared in front of him, and the interior of the statue was decorated with gorgeous gold leaf, and the two of them did not swim too far to the bottom, and there were many gold bricks scattered at the bottom, and there was a hole near the center that led to the bottom of the river, and the hole was excavated by external forces.

Luo Lie smelled the smell of danger, and also saw the blood mist in the water that had not yet dissipated, and the water monkey that had fled in a hurry just now should have entered this hole. Wu Jie's persistence made Luo Lie quite passive, after all, they were at the bottom of the Pujiang River, if this cave was dug by water monkeys, I don't know how many water monkeys were hiding in this cave, they only had two people at the moment, and they had to consider the worst possibility.

Fortunately, the situation that Luo Hunt was worried about did not happen, not long after they entered the cave, the direction of the cave began to look diagonally upward, the two of them dived in the water for about ten minutes, and actually reached the surface of the water, which should be level with the Pujiang River outside, but it was not where they came, Wu Jie took the lead to climb to the shore, Luo Lie came to the shore, took off his hood and breathed a breath of humid air, looked around, and saw that the surroundings were full of porcelain, gold and silver.

Wu Jie said in a low voice: "This should be located directly below the Yupu Wharf. ”

Although Luo Lie's sense of orientation is very strong, it is still not as good as Wu Jie, he nodded and said: "Those water monkeys are estimated to not be able to live in the water for a long time, so they dug a hole under the water, all the way to the bottom of the Yupu wharf. ”

Wu Jie said: "This may be the nest of water monkeys, you must be careful, tell me what is around?

Luo Lie still rarely saw Wu Jie lose his composure like this, he told Wu Jie what he saw, Wu Jie said: "I smell the smell of blood, those water monkeys should be going here." He pointed to the right front, and Luo Lie had already seen the blood on the ground.

There are a lot of planks on the ground, these planks are old ship wood unloaded from the wreck, after hundreds of years of non-rotting, Luo Lie found that the laying of these planks is still regular, laid horizontally, each plank will be spaced at a certain distance from each other, at first glance it looks like a sleeper under the rails, the edge of the plank is very neat, the length and width are almost the same, these planks should be sawn with tools, if the plank in front of you is laid by a water monkey, it proves that this strange creature has the ability to use tools.

The difference between humans and animals lies in the use of tools, and Luo Lie has never regarded water monkeys as intelligent beings like them.

Wu Jie sniffed, and he smelled fresh blood, proving that the injured water monkey had escaped from here. Wu Jie said: "The Purple Mansion Jade Box should be in here." ”

Luo Lie said: "Why did you make such a judgment?"

Wu Jie said: "That water monkey was injured and had one of its claws cut off by you, it must have gone to the Purple Mansion Jade Box as soon as possible to heal." ”

Luo Lie observed the blood stains on the wooden board under his feet, and said in a low voice, "Maybe they are in a suspicious formation and lead us into a trap." ”

Wu Jie said: "No matter how smart the water monkey is, it is just an animal, how can they have such wisdom?"

Luo Lie saw that the planks under his feet began to gradually become longer and wider, and as the planks changed, the passage in front of them became wider and wider, and judging from the smooth walls around them, the entire underground structure was all built with tools.

Wu Jie said: "This cave is really not small. ”

Luo Lie said: "There are also architects who know how to build in the water monkeys. He was inspired to see that the top of this underground building was all vaulted, which proved that the water monkeys also took into account the mechanical factors, and there were a lot of broken porcelain tiles scattered on both sides of the road, and there must have been water monkeys using porcelain tiles to excavate.

Walking further, the temperature gradually rose, and a sulfurous smell came to their faces, and a waterhole appeared in front of them, and the waterhole was steaming, and it turned out that there was a hot spring hidden in the depths of the ground, and Luo Lie told Wu Jie what he saw in time.

Approaching the hot spring, I saw a water monkey floating on the pool water, the blood stained the surrounding pool water red, this water monkey was the one who was cut off by Luo Hunt left hand, and now the water monkey died because of excessive blood loss, lying motionless on the surface of the hot spring.

Luo Lie was about to take a look, but saw the water waves, hurriedly and Wu Jie retreated, the two of them just retreated, and they saw a huge head leaning out of the hot spring, and swallowed the body of the water monkey in one bite, Luo Lie saw it clearly, and the one who swallowed the body of the water monkey was clearly a giant python. After the giant python swallowed the body of the water monkey, its golden eyes swept over Luo Lie and Wu Jie, and it did not have the consciousness to attack, but spit out bright red letters, dancing in the air like a flag.

The thin sword in Wu Jie's hand pointed in the direction of the python, and Luo Lie held his wrist and signaled Wu Jie not to act rashly.

The python stood tall for a moment, lazily closed its eyes, and slowly retracted its head, disappearing completely under the surface of the hot spring in a short time. Convinced that it had left, Luo Lie said, "Let's go!"

Wu Jie said: "It's strange, how can there be a big python growing in the hot spring." ”

Luo Lie said: "Such a huge python is usually born in the tropics, maybe someone brought it to this place, and the temperature in the hot spring is just right for it to survive. Such a big python, I don't know how many years it has survived here. ”

Wu Jie said: "It may not stay in it all the time, it lives in the hot spring when it is cold, and it can go out to forage for food when the weather warms up." ”

Luo Lie secretly thought in his heart, in this way, this hot spring is equivalent to the cemetery of the water monkeys, after the water monkeys die, the companions will throw their corpses into the hot springs, and the python swallows their corpses, which is a unique way of burial.

Wu Jie stopped talking suddenly, because he sensed that danger was approaching them, and it didn't come from the hot spring behind him.

Luo Lie saw that more than a dozen water monkeys were climbing along the wall above their heads, and this was indeed the nest of water monkeys. Luo Lie and Wu Jie made a decision at the same time, they would not choose to evacuate, if they retreated to the water outside, it would be more beneficial to the water monkeys, even if they went deep into the water monkeys' lair, but in the current situation, it was more efficient to start a decisive battle with the water monkeys than in the water.

Luo Lie waved out three flying knives casually, the flying knives whistled and shot towards the camp of the water monkeys, and immediately two water monkeys were shot by the flying knives, they fell into the hot springs from the top, and before they could land on the water, the giant python that had just dived into the water jumped up from under the water again, opened its mouth and swallowed one of the water monkeys, and the other injured water monkey hurriedly swam to the shore, not waiting for it to swim to the shore, Luo Lie raised his foot and kicked up a porcelain bottle, the porcelain bottle hit the face door of the water monkey, although the water monkey was not killed by this blow, but it could not climb to the shore in time, and was swallowed by the giant python again。

Wu Jie rushed forward, the thin sword in his hand waved impermeably, his body was shrouded in a sword light, and the water monkeys who took the initiative to approach him were all hit by the sword.

Luo Lie sacrificed the flying knife, and the flying knife flew in the air under his control, as if it was being pulled by a rope.

The water monkeys soon realized that they were no match for the two at all, and hurriedly dispersed the array, they were not in a hurry to escape, but just properly kept the distance between them and the two uninvited guests. Letting out a burst of angry howls, Luo Lie looked at the ugly faces of this group of water monkeys, and finally saw their faces clearly when he looked closely, these water monkeys were covered with silver-gray short hair, their faces were flat, their eyes had no whites, they were all brown-red eyes, there was no nose on their faces, only a mouth, the mouth was very large, and the corners of the mouth extended to the position behind the ears, to be exact, their sides were not ears, but fins similar to ears, and there were three cracks behind these fins, which were the gills they used to breathe.

Wu Jie couldn't see the appearance of the water monkeys, and couldn't help asking, "Are they ugly?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Yes, but the aesthetics of the water monkeys are different from ours, and maybe in their eyes, we are the same." ”

A rare smile appeared on the corner of Wu Jie's lips, and he said in a low voice: "How many more?" The reason why he asked this was because when he heard the sound of squirming, Luo Lie's expression became grim, because he saw hundreds of water monkeys swarming towards their location from all directions, if these water monkeys attacked them in groups, it would be difficult for the two of them to win, not to mention that there were no more water monkeys in this nest, Luo Lie didn't have enough confidence to retreat.

The water monkeys have a foul smell on their bodies, they haven't approached yet, but the smell has already come, which makes people sick, Luo Lie secretly worries in his heart, he is afraid that before the battle starts, he will be fainted by these water monkeys. Luo Lie took out the gas mask from the waterproof backpack and handed it to Wu Jie, Wu Jie didn't know what Luo Lie wanted to do, but knew that he had always been resourceful, so he immediately put the gas mask on.
