Chapter 601: Deep Sea Ruins Exploration, The Cave Holds a Mystery (For Eghver. An Yi +1)
In the deep sea, the light is dim and the pressure is enormous.
Lin Qiye, Wu Hen and Yu Huiqinggong carefully shuttled through this deep underwater ruins.
"This place is so eerie." Wu Hen muttered. He always felt that something was wrong with this place.
"Be careful, Henzi." Lin Qiye reminded, "This is a relic after all. There might be some danger here."
"Don't worry, Qiye, there's nothing we can't handle with me here." Wu Hen patted his chest, full of confidence.
"Ding! Mission issued: Find a valuable treasure in the ruins. Mission reward: A random skill book."
Wu Hen's system started issuing tasks again.
"System, can you be more reliable and stop issuing such confusing tasks?" Wu Hen complained in his heart.
"Hehe, host, this is for your own good. It will give you more motivation during your adventure!" said the system in a mean way.
Yuhui Qinggong did not say anything, but just followed the two of them silently. Her mental power was highly concentrated, and she was always paying attention to the movements around her.
Suddenly, Yuhui Qinggong stopped and raised his hand to signal the two to stop.
"What's wrong?" Lin Qiye asked.
"There is someone in front." Yuhui Qinggong said in a low voice.
"Someone?" Wu Hen was stunned. "No way, is there anyone else coming to this damn place?"
"Be careful, let's go and take a look." Lin Qiye said.
The three of them slowly approached, and saw a red light suddenly appear at a corner in front of them.
"Infrared alarm?" Wu Hen's eyes widened. "Oh my god, these guys are quite professional!"
"It seems that we are not the first group of people to arrive here." Lin Qiye's face was a little solemn.
"Brother Qiye, what should we do? Should we just rush over?" Wu Hen asked.
"Don't be impulsive, let's see the situation first." Lin Qiye shook his head, "Qinggong, can you remove this alarm?"
"No problem." Yuhui Qinggong nodded. She walked to the alarm, observed it carefully, then took out a few tools from her backpack and began to disassemble it.
A few minutes later, Yuhui Qinggong straightened up and said, "It's done."
"Amazing!" Wu Hen gave a thumbs up, "Qing Gong, you are a genius!"
"Okay, stop joking and let's move on." Lin Qiye said.
The three continued to walk forward and turned the corner, but the scene before them stunned them.
I saw a huge stone chamber with scattered stones and broken statues everywhere. The whole room was in a mess, as if it had experienced a great war.
"This...what is going on?" Wu Hen was dumbfounded.
"It seems like this place has been turned over by someone." Lin Qiye said with a frown.
"Could it be that the people who came before us have already looted everything here?" Wu Hen said somewhat unwillingly.
"Not necessarily." Yuhui Qinggong shook his head. "Although it's a mess here, there are some places that show no signs of being disturbed."
"What you mean is..." Lin Qiye looked towards Yuhui Qinggong.
"I feel like there's something else here," Yuhui Qinggong said.
"System, have you found anything?" Wu Hen asked in his heart.
"Ding! The scan detected energy fluctuations ahead, and there is suspected presence of treasure." The system replied.
"Really?" Wu Hen said excitedly, "Where is it? Tell me quickly!"
"It's just ahead, but the host needs to find the specific location by himself." said the system.
"Damn! He failed at the critical moment!" Wu Hen couldn't help but complain.
Lin Qiye looked at the scene in front of him and always felt that something was wrong.
"Qinggong, use your mental power to search carefully and see if you can find anything." Lin Qiye said.
"Okay." Yuhui Qinggong nodded, closed his eyes, and began to release his mental power.
A few minutes later, Yuhui Qinggong opened his eyes, his face pale.
"How is it? What did you find?" Lin Qiye asked hurriedly.
Yuhui Qinggong didn't say anything, but just pointed in a direction.
"Over there?" Lin Qiye looked in the direction that Yuhui Qinggong pointed, and saw that over there was a dark area, and nothing could be seen clearly.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Qiye said.
The three of them walked cautiously towards the dark area. The further they went, the darker the light became. In the end, it was almost pitch dark.
"Qi Ye, be careful, I feel something is wrong here." Wu Hen said.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Qiye comforted, and at the same time, he also became more vigilant.
Suddenly, Lin Qiye stopped.
"What's wrong?" Wu Hen asked.
Lin Qiye didn't say anything, but slowly raised his head and looked forward.
Wu Hen and Yu Hui Qinggong also raised their heads, and when they saw the scene in front of them clearly, they took a deep breath.
Suddenly, a huge pit appeared in front of them. It was bottomless and looked like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to swallow them.
"This...what is this thing?" Wu Hen's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Qiye's expression also became somewhat solemn. He felt that there was a huge danger hidden in this pit.
Yuhui Qinggong's eyes were also full of vigilance. She could feel that a powerful force was surging in this pit.
The three of them stood at the edge of the pit, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became extremely depressing.
"Jump?" Wu Hen broke the silence.
Lin Qiye looked at the bottomless pit, then looked at his companions.
"Jump!"
The deep-sea ruins were in a mess.
The rubble and broken statues all tell of the chaos this place has experienced.
"This place looks like it was swept by a tornado." Wu Hen looked around and couldn't help but complain, "I don't know which wicked person looted it so thoroughly."
Lin Qiye ignored Wu Hen's complaints. He was more concerned about the faint energy fluctuations in the air.
This feeling was very subtle, and if his mental strength was not strong enough, he would not be able to detect it at all.
"Qinggong, do you feel it?" Lin Qiye signaled Yuhui Qinggong with his eyes.
Yuhui Qinggong nodded slightly. She also sensed this unusual energy fluctuation. Her mental power extended in all directions like invisible tentacles, trying to capture the source of the energy.
"Over there." Yuhui Qinggong pointed in a direction.
Lin Qiye and Wu Hen looked in the direction of her finger. There was a pile of rocks there, which looked ordinary.
"What's so special about this pile of broken stones?" Wu Hen looked confused.
"No, there's a problem." Lin Qiye shook his head.
"System, scan that pile of stones and see if there is anything fishy." Wu Hen muttered to himself.
"Ding! Scanning...an abnormal energy source has been detected. It is recommended that the host come closer to check." The system's voice sounded.
"Did you hear that? The system also said there's a problem." Wu Hen said proudly, "Let's go and take a look."
The three of them approached the pile of rocks cautiously. The closer they got, the stronger the energy fluctuations became.
"Be careful, there might be some trap." Lin Qiye reminded.
Wu Hen took out a peculiarly shaped remote control from his backpack and pressed a button.
"Call! Treasure Rat!"
A furry little mouse appeared out of nowhere. It had a pair of big black eyes and its nose kept moving, as if it was sniffing something.
"Go, treasure-hunting rat. If you find the treasure, you will be rewarded handsomely!" Wu Hen said to the treasure-hunting rat.
The treasure-hunting mouse squeaked twice and quickly disappeared into the pile of rocks.
"Is this thing reliable?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully, looking at the treasure-hunting rat's back.
"Don't worry, Brother Qiye, I exchanged this for the system mall with my points. I have top-notch treasure hunting skills." Wu Hen patted his chest and assured.
At this moment, the treasure-hunting rat suddenly emerged from the pile of rocks, holding a stone that was faintly glowing in its mouth.
"Squeak!" The treasure-hunting mouse shouted excitedly, ran to Wu Hen's feet, and placed the stone under his feet.
"Oh, I finally found it!" Wu Hen picked up the stone and observed it carefully.
This stone is irregular in shape and transparent throughout. It seems to contain countless stars and is extremely beautiful.
"What is this?" Wu Hen asked curiously.
"Ding! An unknown energy crystal was scanned. It contains powerful energy and is extremely valuable." The system replied.
"Energy crystal? It sounds very powerful." Wu Hen chuckled and put the energy crystal away.
"Henzi, don't just focus on picking up treasures, be careful of your surroundings." Lin Qiye reminded.
Wu Hen nodded, put away his smile and became alert.
At this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake, the pile of rocks began to collapse, and a huge black hole appeared in front of the three people.
"Oh shit! What's going on?" Wu Hen exclaimed.
Lin Qiye and Yu Huiqinggong's expressions also changed. They felt a powerful suction force coming from the black hole, as if it was going to swallow them up.
"Not good! Retreat quickly!" Lin Qiye shouted and pulled Wu Hen and Yu Huiqinggong back.
However, the suction was so strong that they could not resist it at all, and their bodies involuntarily moved closer to the black hole.
"System! Is there any way?" Wu Hen asked anxiously.
"Ding! The host can use the item 'Gravity Reverser' to offset some of the suction." The system replied.
"What are you waiting for? Use it quickly!" Wu Hen shouted.
"Ding! The 'Gravity Reverser' has been used successfully, and the suction has weakened."
The suction force indeed weakened a little. Lin Qiye and the other two seized the opportunity and retreated desperately, finally escaping the range of the black hole.
They looked at the black hole in shock, only to see it growing bigger and bigger, as if it was going to swallow up the entire ruins.
"What the hell is this thing?" Wu Hen said with lingering fear.
Lin Qiye frowned, he vaguely felt that the appearance of this black hole was definitely not accidental.
"Let's go down and take a look." Lin Qiye suddenly said.
"Go down? Are you crazy?" Wu Hen's eyes widened. "It's so dangerous down there. Wouldn't that be courting death?"
"Wealth and honor are sought in danger." Lin Qiye said lightly, "Also, I feel like there is something attracting me down there."
Yuhui Qinggong did not say anything, but just stood silently beside Lin Qiye to show his support.
Wu Hen looked at the determined eyes of the two men and knew that he could not persuade them, so he could only sigh helplessly.
"Okay, since you want to go, I'll risk my life to accompany you." Wu Hen said, "But let's make a deal, if we encounter danger, I will be the first to run away."
Lin Qiye smiled but said nothing. He knew that Wu Hen was just talking. At the critical moment, he would never abandon his companions.
The three of them looked at each other,
"Jump!" Lin Qiye said.
After saying that, he jumped into the dark pit.
Wu Hen and Yu Hui Qinggong followed closely and jumped down.
