Text Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Mysterious Iron Box

The torches in the hands of the soldiers shine on the gold coins, reflecting countless dazzling golden lights, making the entire cave brighter, as if wearing a gold suit, making people feel dream-like and beautiful.

"Wow, I can't count how many gold coins there are. Wang Lung couldn't help but sigh and said. He had never seen so many gold coins before, and this time it was an eye-opener.

In fact, not only Wang Lung, but even people like Lin Xu, who had been well-informed in the two lives, had never seen such a number of gold coins. It's just that Lin Xuan behaved much more calmly than Wang Lung and the soldiers. He was wondering where the coins came from, and he noticed something strange about it.

If someone had buried the coins here, they would have been packed in boxes or bags and placed neatly, rather than scattered all over the ground like now.

Judging from this situation, Lin Xu felt that it was more like someone had a fierce fight for gold coins in the cave before, so that the gold coins were scattered on the ground. But when he tried to find some traces of a fight on the ground and the walls of the cave, he couldn't find them.

Lin Xuan thought about it for a while, and felt that this might be due to the age, and the traces of the fight in the cave had completely weathered and disappeared completely, leaving only these gold coins that would never fade.

In any case, since Lin Xuan successfully opened the iron door and successfully entered the cave and found gold coins, then these gold coins belonged to him. This is the wealth left by his predecessors, and he should cherish it and use it to help him achieve something.

"Wang Lung, you and your brothers should collect these gold coins. We brought it back to the kamikaze camp to pay for the army. Lin Xuan instructed Wang Longdao.

"Yes, big brother. Wang Lung replied loudly, and couldn't help but be full of joy, and said with a smile: "With these gold coins, our kamikaze camp can eat and drink well from now on, even if the military salary given by the empire is small, it doesn't matter, we have money ourselves." ”

"These gold coins should be enough for the three thousand brothers in our kamikaze camp for ten years, right?"

"I've seen enough, maybe I won't be able to use it up in ten years. ”

The soldiers were chatting about the gold coins as they picked up them, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Lin Xu sent people to find more than ten cloth bags outside the cave and put up the gold coins. In the end, it was filled with sixteen cloth bags, and it was estimated that the number of gold coins had exceeded 10 million.

Lin Xu asked some of the soldiers to carry the cloth bags full of gold coins out of the cave and keep them under strict guard, while he and Wang Lung took the rest of the soldiers to continue to explore the mountain to see if there was anything else in the cave.

When they walked to the end of the cave, Lin Xu and the others found that this cave was actually not deep, no wonder the predecessors had to lay such a thick and tight iron gate from the entrance of the cave.

There was no way ahead, Lin Xu and the others stood in front of the stone wall at the end and looked around, and they didn't seem to find anything special.

"It seems that there are only those gold coins in this cave, and nothing more valuable. Wang Lung said softly. It's just that his tone isn't so sure. After all, those gold coins had already given him a great surprise, and anything could happen in this strange cave.

Lin Xu's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw a box on the top of the cave that was six or seven zhang high from the ground. The box was embedded in the stone at the top of the cave, and it was not easy to find if you didn't look closely. No wonder Wang Lung and the other soldiers didn't see it, only Lin Xuan was able to discover its existence.

"Brothers, there's a box on it. Lin Xu immediately told Wang Lung and the soldiers, and stretched out his hand to show them.

Wang Lung and the soldiers took a closer look in the direction of Lin Xu's finger and saw the box on the top of the cave. It's just that the box is too high from the ground, and they, like Lin Xu, can't tell whether it is a box made of iron or a box made of wooden boards.

"Wow, the box is so high, I don't know what treasures will be in it. Maybe it's more precious than gold. ”

"Strange, how the hell did you put the box so high on the roof of the cave?"

"I guess only a high-level swordsman who can fly with a sword can do that. ”

The soldiers couldn't help but start a heated discussion again. Even if they saw the box on the top of the cave, they had no way to take it down, so they could only pin their hopes on their boss Lin Xu.

"Big brother, can you fly up and take down the box?" Wang Lung asked Lin Xudao in a low voice.

"No, you can't. Lin Xuan shook his head lightly and told Wang Long truthfully: "At least you have to cultivate to the realm of the Sword King to be able to fly with your sword, and I am still far away." ”

"Then we can only look at it, and even if we do, we won't be able to take it off. Wang Lung whispered a little deflated.

"No, I have a way. Lin Xuan thought about it for a while, and quickly thought of a way to take down the box on the top of the cave.

"Big brother, what can you do?" Wang Long, who was already disappointed, suddenly became hopeful again when he heard Lin Xu's words.

"I can't fly that high, but my sword qi can hit there. I want to just knock the box down and catch it underneath. Lin Xu told Wang Longdao what he had thought of.

"Oh, that's it. Big brother, my brothers and I are down there to help you catch the box and try not to break it. Wang Lung said to Lin Xuan seriously. Because I don't know what the box contains, maybe it's something that hasn't been dropped, and if it breaks when it falls, it will be useless even if it gets to the box. Wang Long's consideration is quite thoughtful.

However, Lin Xuan thought more comprehensively. He didn't want Wang Lung and the soldiers to get hurt by helping him catch the box, so he refused Wang Lung's kindness, shook his head and said, "When I draw my sword later, I will definitely knock the stones around the box down, and it won't be good if it hits your head." You and your brothers stay away and be careful not to be hit by rocks falling from above. I was able to catch the box myself. ”

"Big brother, then you should be careful yourself. Wang Lung reminded Lin Xudao with a concerned face.

"You don't have to worry. When I draw my sword, I will protect my body with the Tian Yuan Overlord Body, and even if the stones that fall from it fall on me, it will be fine. Lin Xuan was full of confidence and said to Wang Lung with confidence.

Wang Lung knew that Lin Xu's skills were strong, and he had always been cautious, and he would not do things that he was not sure of. Hearing this, he had no reason to worry about Lin Xuan anymore. He only needs to lead the soldiers to protect themselves and not let Lin Xuan be distracted by them.

So, Wang Lung immediately led the soldiers to retreat to a safe area, and watched from a distance how Lin Xu knocked down the box.

Lin Xuan ran his true qi, and the powerful true qi spread to the hundreds of bones in the upper and lower limbs of his body, forming an incomparably hard Tianyuan overlord body. Then, he swung the sword in his hand and slashed at the box on the top of the cave, using the blue ice slash, and a dazzling and powerful blue sword flew towards the top of the cave.

"Bang-"

There was a loud bang, and the high roof of the cave immediately cracked as if it had been blown open by explosives. I saw that the box that was originally embedded in the middle of the stone block on the roof of the cave had fallen, accompanied by a lot of rubble.

Wang Lung and the soldiers watched in amazement. If they saw so much gravel falling from the top of their heads, they would have turned around in fright and ran, but Lin Xuan was protected by the Tianyuan Hegemony Body, and his whole body was like King Kong's incorruptible body, invulnerable, and the small gravel was even more helpless to take him, and it would not hurt him at all.

After Lin Xuan used the Blue Ice Slash to smash the top of the cave, he immediately retracted his sword, his eyes fixed on the location where the box fell. When the box reached a height he could reach, he leaped forward, stretched out his hands, and caught the box unmistakably in the midst of the flying rocks.

As soon as the box was opened, Lin Xuan felt very heavy, it was estimated that the box contained a lot of things, perhaps it was really the most precious thing stored in this cave.

Wang Lung and the soldiers couldn't help but feel very happy and happy for Lin Xuan when they saw that Lin Xu had successfully caught the box that had fallen from the sky and was unscathed in the chaos of rocks. They waited until all the rubble on the top of the cave had fallen before they ran over again together, surrounding Lin Xu.

"Big brother, open the box and let the brothers open their eyes. Maybe the box really contains some rare treasures. Wang Lung couldn't help but be eager to be curious, and said to Lin Xu with a smile.

"Okay, I hope we can all share what is inside, just like those gold coins. Lin Xuan smiled very cheerfully.

Lin Xu placed the box on a large stone. It was a tin box, except that it was also covered in rust like the iron door outside. Lin Xuan used his internal strength and wiped all the rust on the iron box with a vigorous wipe of his hand, revealing the special pattern engraved on the surface of the box.

It's just that these patterns don't look like flowers and plants, and they don't look like animals, not to mention that Wang Lung and the soldiers can't see what the pattern is, even Lin Xuan can't see it. This further reveals the mystery of this iron box.

Now Lin Xu and the others don't want to discuss these strange patterns, no matter what they are. They are most concerned about what is inside the iron box.

There was a button on the iron box, Lin Xuan broke it hard, and he broke the button directly, and opened the iron box smoothly. This surprised Lin Xu, Wang Long and others. They originally thought that it would take a lot of twists and turns to open this box like opening the iron door just now, but they didn't expect it to be opened so quickly and smoothly now.

Under the gaze of everyone, Lin Xu slowly lifted the lid on the iron box. only heard a "boom", as if a bow and arrow were being shot, so frightened that Lin Xuan hurriedly closed the lid of the box again, and at the same time loudly reminded the soldiers around him: "Brothers, be careful, everyone step back first." ”

Wang Lung and the soldiers didn't dare to hesitate, and hurriedly retreated three steps back one after another according to Lin Xu's order, leaving themselves a safe distance to react.
