Xiao Tianci replied: "I passed by here, and I heard that the villagers of several villages around here were disturbed by the bandits in the Old Dawn Mountain Range, and then I wanted to come and have a look. But when I get here. I found out that the two brothers were fighting the brown bear here, so I couldn't hold back for a while and made a move. By the way, I wonder if you two can know where the thieves in this cottage are?"

Ah Tian shook his head and complained: "I didn't expect us to be fellow believers! Actually, our two brothers also came to settle accounts with the bandits, but the bandits here seem to be soft, I'm afraid they heard that we were coming, so they all slipped away in advance." When the two brothers entered the stockade, it was already empty. ”

At this time, Ye Chen suddenly thought of something, and he hurriedly said: "Brother Ah Tian, we obviously searched the entire village before, but we didn't find anything strange. But why did two brown bears pop up all of a sudden? There's just one exit here, and I'm afraid there's something wrong with that warehouse, but we didn't find it. ”

After hearing Ye Chen's words, Ah Tian suddenly realized: "That's right, that's right, we obviously checked the warehouse before, and there was nothing in the warehouse at that time." But the two brown bears suddenly ran out of the warehouse, which means that there must be a secret passage or something in the warehouse. ”

Ye Chen nodded, and then continued: "This group of thieves left in such a hurry, they didn't even have time to clean up the food they had robbed. There may be some unknown dangers here, so we should all be careful. ”

Ye Chen still didn't say the second half of the sentence, that is, the two brown bears here were actually immune to magic, which was obviously completely inconsistent with the brown bears outside.

Ye Chenda felt that this place was too strange, so he was also extremely cautious.

Xiao Tianci agreed with Ye Chen's point of view: "Brother Chen Ye is right, there must be something wrong with the departure of this group of bandits. Let's not speculate here, let's go straight to the warehouse and find out. ”

After speaking, Xiao Tianci took the lead and walked towards the warehouse.

When everyone walked into the warehouse, they found that there were clear footprints on the floor of the warehouse, which must have been left by the brown bears.

Ye Chen and the others followed the footprints and walked forward, and soon came to a large water tank.

Xiao Tianci looked into the water tank and said, "Those two beasts should have run out from here." ”

As soon as they heard Xiao Tianci say this, Ye Chen and Ah Tian immediately gathered around to look. I saw that the water tank had no bottom, and there was a pitch-black hole underneath! The hole stretched downward at an angle, and I didn't know where it led.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It seems that thanks to those two brown bears, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to find this hole, and the location of this hole would be too difficult to find." ”

Xiao Tianci frowned and pondered, and only after half a sound did he slowly speak and say his guess: "It is estimated that the group of bandits did not leave through the gate, but entered here. But not only did they not pack up the food they had looted, but they also did not leave anyone to guard it, so there must have been some kind of emergency in such a hurry. And you look at the hole below, it should have been dug by them not long ago, definitely not more than half a month, as can be seen from the soil next to it. ”

Saying that, Xiao Tianci suddenly paused for a moment, then he looked at Ye Chen and Ah Tian and said, "The most critical point is that from the perspective of this hole's piercing technique, this hole is a thief hole!"

Ye Chen was suddenly a little surprised: "Thief cave, then you mean there is an ancient tomb underneath this?"

At this time, Xiao Tianci turned to Ye Chen and nodded affirmatively: "That's right, there is a high probability that there is an ancient tomb below, and I estimate that this group of people is not a bandit at all, but a tomb robber!"

After hearing Xiao Tianci's affirmative answer, Ye Chen was extremely surprised, that group of thieves might actually be tomb robbers! This is too exaggerated.

Of course, many people may be very curious, how can there be tomb robbers on the Beya continent?

In fact, many aspects of the Beya continent are very similar to the earth, such as the tombs. And it is said that a thousand years ago, the last emperor of the previous dynasty was overthrown by the current Zijin Emperor because of the large-scale construction of the imperial mausoleum.

And thinking about what the fortune teller said, Ye Chen estimated that the funeral culture of the Beya Continent might have been transmitted from the earth.

At this time, Ah Tian expressed his doubts: "But if they are not bandits, then why do they want to rob the nearby villages? Isn't it easy to be exposed? My master said that tomb robbers will be very cautious and try not to be discovered by others." ”

Xiao Tianci explained: "They first appeared half a year ago, and the snatching of food should be to solve the food problem. Besides, this place is in the middle of nowhere, and the Purple Gold Empire can't control it at all, and with their status as bandits, who would dare to come here to disturb them? ”

Ye Chen took Xiao Tianci's words and said, "They have been here for more than half a year without any big moves, and they even went to Zhaojia Village to rob until yesterday. It's terrible that today they left in such a hurry, and there was not even a single person left. In other words, they have made new discoveries below, or they have encountered some kind of change, and they have to go down together. ”

Ah Tian couldn't wait to say: "Why do you care so much, just go down and take a look! This group of dogs and his grandmother almost burned my mother to death yesterday, I won't spare them easily!"

Xiao Tianci nodded and said, "What Brother Zhao Atian said is good, let's go down and see." ”

As he spoke, he took an unlit torch from the side, and then climbed into the water tank and crawled down the thief hole.

Seeing that Xiao Tianci had set off, Ye Chen also followed closely and prepared to go down.

But at this time, Ah Tian suddenly stopped Ye Chen, and he said earnestly: "Ye Chen, you follow me, this person's origin is unknown, it's better for us to be careful." ”

After hearing Ah Tian's words, Ye Chen's heart was both warm and a little surprised. The warmth is because Ah Tianzhen treats Ye Chen like a brother, and the surprise is because such a rough man has such a thoughtful side.

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I know, you have to be careful." ”

Ah Tian patted Ye Chen's shoulder, also took a torch next to him, and then climbed into the thief hole.

When Ah Tian entered the thief cave, Ye Chen also followed him and followed him in.

I saw that the passage of the robbery cave was very narrow, and there was no fork in the road, so Ye Chen had to bend down and move forward. It is conceivable how oppressive it is to be in such a narrow and confined space.

Especially after climbing less than a stick of incense, the passage of the cave began to become extremely narrow, and Ye Chen could only lie on the ground and slowly crawl forward.
