Chapter 49 The troops are divided into two groups

 The fat man patted his bulging belly, "It's easy to talk about, but... there's one thing we have to discuss clearly in advance."

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and rubbed his fingers, his intention was very clear.

The fat man has no idea what he has in mind for the old woman Huo Xiangu.

Since it is destined to be impossible to escape, why not take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits for their brothers.

"We agreed before we came here that the main task of our three brothers is to fight, and exploring the path is not within the scope of our work, so this is another price." The fat man shook his eyebrows, as if he wanted to break up with Huo Xiangu.

A teary expression.

Huo Xiangu looked at him calmly, "How much do you want?"

"Two..." The fat man was about to say the price when he suddenly rolled his eyes and blurted out, "Four times!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Zhuxun's voice with a bit of coolness rang in everyone's ears, "Six times, it's an emergency. The number four sounds unlucky."

Huo Zhizhi stared at him in surprise, as if to say, how dare you speak so boldly in front of the head of our family?

Zhang Zhuoxun looked at him straightly with a very considerate expression, "What? Is it too little? Of course I can also add a little more if appropriate."

Huo Xiangu's eyes twitched, and she stopped Huo Zhizhi, who was so angry that he wanted to curse, "Six times is six times, but you can't take so much money from me for nothing. When you go to the ground, you still need to be responsible for me, an old woman.

safety."

"Deal!" Zhang Zhu smiled like a weasel who had stolen a chicken.

Afterwards, several people discussed the action plan for tomorrow.

The fat man and the Huo family continued to search for the cave entrance where they climbed out of the underground river last time. Zhang Zhuxun and the younger brother took another group of the Huo family into the water, and the troops were divided into two groups.

Early the next morning.

The fat man went up the mountain with Huo Zhizhi.

When Zhang Zhuxun and his brother put on their diving suits and came to the lake, they found Huo Zhizhi in a diving suit standing beside the kayak.

"Huh?" Zhang Zhuxun looked at him carefully and found that he was exactly the same, but he was sure that the young man in front of him was definitely not Huo Zhizhi.

The young man seemed to have noticed Zhang Chuxun's doubts and smiled proactively, "Hello, Mr. Yu, my name is Huo Zhixing."

Zhang Zhuxun suddenly realized that they were the two little brothers.

Know what you do and know where to stop; what you do and what you do will stop.

The name is quite good.

"There are about ten minutes before we can set off." Huo Zhixing explained.

Zhang Zhuoxun nodded, "It's okay, take your time, don't rush now."

Soon, the guys loaded all the equipment they were going to take onto the boat.

Considering the impact of human body temperature on Milotuo, not many people went into the water this time. We only selected five of the Huo family's guys with the best water quality to go with Zhang Zhuxun and the two of them.

With people loading the cargo, five kayaks set off from the shore of the lake and headed towards the center of the lake.

It’s still a familiar recipe and a familiar taste.

Stop the boat in the center of the lake and turn off the engine, leaving one person who does not need to go into the water to guard it. The rest of the people carry oxygen bottles and equipment to deal with Milotuo, and follow Zhang Zhu and the other two to jump into the water.

After a while, we arrived near the ancient building.

Zhang Zhuxun and his younger brother got in through the open window first, followed closely by Huo Zhixing and the other five.

Go down the stairs to the lowest level and come to the carved wooden wall.

Huo Zhixing was recording from the side with an underwater camera in his hand, while Zhang Zhuxun quickly unlocked the trap on the wooden wall and squeezed in sideways.

Seeing that there was actually an iron figurine with a missing right hand hidden here, Huo Zhixing and the others were a little shocked. They sat around and studied it for a long time, and even tried to cut off a small piece with a tool and take it back for study and analysis.

However, these iron figurines were very hard, and even after all their efforts, they could not scrape off a layer of iron skin from them.

Zhang Zhuxun folded his arms and watched coldly, with no intention of stepping forward to help.

The little brother frowned and searched carefully for clues in this stone room, but he couldn't find the shallow patterns on the stone wall.

I can see something fishy.

In the end, Huo Zhixing's sharp eyes found an iron block as big as a fist among the iron figurines. He put it into his backpack and gestured to Zhang Shuxun, indicating that he could move forward.

Zhang Shuxun patted the younger brother on the shoulder, and then walked behind the iron figurines.

Huo Zhixing and others hurriedly followed.

Zhang Zhuxun stood in front of the mountain wall and gestured to them a few times, meaning that someone should come out from among them.

Huo Zhixing obviously had a higher status among this group of people, so he pointed at someone casually.

Zhang Shuxun motioned for him to come forward, then stretched out his hand and pushed him directly against the dark green jade veins.

The Huo boy was startled, and immediately began to flutter and struggle, spitting out a series of bubbles.

Huo Zhixing was about to step forward to stop him, but the younger brother put his hand on his shoulder and pressed into the gap between the joints. The pain made him unable to move immediately.

Other members of the Huo family also wanted to step forward, but after Zhang Shuxun captured another person and pinned him on Jade Vein, the remaining two people used the rat weapon. They could only stare at Zhang Shuxun and the two with resentment and vigilance, helpless.<

/p>

The first guy noticed that Zhang Shuxun made no other life-threatening movements after holding him down, and he calmed down after struggling for a moment.

Zhang Zhuxun then let go of his hand, and then pointed at the jade vein wall, indicating that the two of them should continue to fight against each other.

The younger brother also let go of Huo Zhixing and took a step forward to stand beside Zhang Zhuxun.

Huo Zhixing rubbed his sore shoulders, and after the pain subsided, he quickly wrote a line on the underwater drawing board he carried with him, asking for the reason.

Zhang Zhuoxun only replied with two words, "Waiting."

Huo Zhixing was helpless, but the commander-in-chief of this underwater operation was Zhang Zhuxun. Whatever he said to do, they could only do it as long as their lives were not threatened.

The two guys had no choice but to cling to the mountain wall with an aggrieved look on their faces, gritting their teeth and enduring the biting cold. They had already scolded Zhang Zhuxun bloody in their hearts.

Ten minutes later, when the two guys were almost numb from the cold, they accidentally glanced at the dark green jade veins in front of them.

At this glance, the two of them were so frightened that they trembled.

It turned out that at some point, a gray shadow appeared less than ten centimeters in front of the two of them.

At first, the two of them thought they were underwater, and they were wearing masks on their faces, so they were dazzled.

But soon, they felt something vibrating in their chests.

Taking a closer look, the gray shadow in the dark green jade veins was getting closer and closer to them, and they could even see the mass inside slowly moving outward.

The two of them were so frightened that they immediately backed away, pointing at Jade Vein, with horrified expressions on their faces.

Huo Zhixing also noticed the unknown creature getting closer and closer inside, and immediately looked at Zhang Zhu and the two of them.

Zhang Zhuxun waved his hand to tell these newbies to stay away, then he gestured with his fingers and pulled out the skull knife from behind.

The younger brother also pulled out the ancient black gold sword with a serious look on his face.

Within a few breaths, the sound of broken jade veins was very close at hand.

Milotuo's thick roar passed through the thin layer of jade veins and reached everyone's ears.

It was the first time for Huo Zhixing and others to see this kind of monster that looked like a human but not a human being. They all looked frightened, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They all pulled out the short knives tied to their calves and prepared for it.

When I dug a hole in Miluotuo and found a green claw.

Zhang Shuxun directly waved his hand and slashed out with his sword. Lianyu Vein and Milotuo were split into two halves, and the black-haired snake inside twitched and fell out.

Huo Zhixing's eyes lit up, and he immediately squatted down and picked up the dead black snake with a short knife, intending to put it in a bag and take it back.

A strong gust of wind passed directly over his head, and the next moment, pieces of oil-green jade fell into pieces at his feet.

Before he could react, a black shadow came straight to his door, but the little brother quickly cut it off with a knife, and then slapped the black-haired snake head with its fangs away with the back of the knife.

Zhang Zhuoxun grabbed his drawing board and wrote heavily on it

The next two big words are, "Idiot!"

Grandma, Zhang Zhuxun was a little frustrated. How did Mrs. Huo choose people? Why were all of them so stupid and unreliable? She even asked him to take care of the child.

After Huo Zhixing came to his senses, cold sweat oozed down his back. He realized that he had just missed death.

The guy behind him hurriedly helped him up and pulled him aside.

The jade vein in front of them sunk into a large hole two meters deep. As they continued to move forward, more and more gray shadows approached them.

After Zhang Zhuoxun and his brother dealt with a few of them, Huo Zhixing gave the rest to some training.

Soon, after advancing more than thirty meters, they entered the first cave, and the water flow behind them was blocked by the reunited jade veins.

Huo Zhixing lit the lighter and measured the oxygen concentration. After finding that it could burn normally, he took off the mask on his face.

"Master Yu, what should we do next? Which jade vein should we go to?" Huo Zhixing asked.

There were four jade veins inlaid between the mountains in front of him. Zhang Zhuxun stepped forward and touched them one by one, then took off his mask. Under the expectant eyes of Huo Zhixing and others, he calmly said, "I don't know."<

/p>

Huo Zhixing: "..."

After Zhang Zhuxun finished speaking, he took Huo Zhixing's drawing board, sat down on the ground, and said quietly: "To be honest, this place is different from what I saw when I came in last time. In other words, I don't know what it is now.

No matter where you go, because the jade veins here are always changing."

One of the waiters couldn't help but said: "Then aren't we trapped here?"

Zhang Zhuoxun waved his hand, "Not necessarily. You can still get out if you choose any of these four openings, but the exit is probably thousands of miles away from the lake."

Huo Zhixing also squatted down and looked at Zhang Zhuxun, "Is there any other way? We don't have much food with us."

Zhang Zhu asked him, "How much food did you bring?"

"It's only enough for the seven of us for three days," Huo Zhixing said matter-of-factly.

"Oh haha!" Zhang Zhuoxun was a little gloating, "Then you are miserable. It has only been three days. It is estimated that you can't even find the door and will starve to death here. In the end, it will become Miluo Tuo's food reserve."

The boy who was first used as a heater by Zhang Shuxun said angrily: "If you take fifty steps and laugh a hundred steps, you two will be trapped and die here."

The little brother sat on the floor next to Zhang Zhuxun. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.

Zhang Zhuxun glanced at the young man with a sinister look, "Of course I won't starve to death. If not, I'll still have you. Anyway, I'll die sooner or later. It's the same as dying. It's better to sacrifice my five internal organs in the temple."

It’s a good deal, don’t worry, I will remember to burn paper for you during the Qingming Festival in the future.”

The young man was frightened by Zhang Zhuxun's eyes and involuntarily took a step back, not daring to choke again.

Huo Zhixing patted his shoulder comfortingly, "Don't worry, Mr. Yu is joking with you."

Zhang Zhuoxun chuckled and said, "How dare you dare to come to the grave if you are so young? Your Huo family can't find any older men? How come you even have children here?"

It stands to reason that even if Huo Xiuxiu is training a team, there is no need for all the boy scouts to come on stage, but the ones Huo Xiangu sent to the water this time are really young people. Instead, the older guys were arranged to follow Huo Xiuxiu to participate in the logistics work.

.

Huo Zhixing pursed his lips and smiled, "You have to give young people some opportunities to practice. Isn't that how those old guys got their experience and abilities? Besides, Mr. Yu, you don't look much older than us.

It’s already so great, and such a comparison makes us feel even more ashamed.”

Who doesn't like to hear good words, Zhang Zhuxun naturally also likes to hear it, and this Huo Zhixing's temperament is more tactful than Huo Zhizhi. A series of rainbow farts came out of his mouth, which made people feel that he was neither salty nor bland.

OK.

Zhang Zhuoxun squinted his eyes in contentment, "Since you look a little less pleasing to the eye than that brat Huo Zhizhi, come closer and I'll tell you how to get out."

The corner of Huo Zhixing's mouth twitched, and he silently complained in his heart that he and Huo Zhizhi obviously looked the same

Exactly the same.

But his face didn't reveal anything, he just followed the instructions and moved closer, pretending to be attentive, "You say it."

"Let's plan our troops and generals later. Whichever jade vein we pick, we will open a way out from there. Don't worry, as long as I'm here, our luck will not be bad."

Zhang Zhuoxun finished speaking with a smile. He didn't care about the reactions of Huo Zhixing and others. He took out two boxes of self-heating rice and water bladders from the waterproof backpack behind him, opened them, and handed one of the boxes to the little brother.<

/p>

Huo Zhixing sighed and asked Huo Xiaoli and others to sit down and eat something to replenish their strength.

Huo Xiaoli is the boy who was deliberately frightened by Zhang Zhuxun earlier. He is younger than the two brothers Huo Zhixing.

Huo Zhixing finally understood that this Mr. Yu and that cold-faced guy were not worried at all about being trapped here, which meant that they must have some understanding of this situation. It was useless to be anxious. No matter what,

When the time comes, just follow them.

After eating, Zhang Zhuoxun got up and walked around in front of the cracks in the jade veins. He put his hands on them and felt them. Then he turned around and picked up some rotten tree roots. He sat back and lit a fire leisurely.
Huo Zhixing was a little surprised, "Didn't you say before that the Milotuo in those jade veins would catch prey according to the temperature? Why do you need to light a fire?"

Just after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized, "What you mean is...use the temperature to determine the number of Milotuo in these jade veins, and then find the one with the most of those things!"

Zhang Zhuxun raised his eyelids and glanced at him, "Your reaction arc is really slow. What are we here for? To find the correct passage to the ancient building, we are not here to escape from the escape room."
