Jiang Xingchen had already explored the cave hundreds of meters before. He could swim over with his breath, otherwise he would not have entered rashly. He swam forward all the way, the terrain was getting higher and the water level became shallower. Finally, they stood up and took out the fluorescent stone.
This is a hollow space, behind it is a pool, which is the passage where they come in, surrounded by rocks. Jiang Xingchen looked at it and found that it had crossed the beach and entered the jungle. There were thick layers of rocks above it, and the soil and trees were upwards. He just looked outside. This location was already a mountain, leading to the rear of the island, rising and higher, all the way to the cliff by the sea.
"Boy, how do you go next? There seems to be no road here?" The old man slapped Jiang Xingchen and pointed to the rocks around him.
"Here!" Jiang Xingchen walked forward, came to the end of the space, and placed his palm on the bumpy rock.
"Don't joke, this is not the way!" The old man frowned and stepped forward, knocked on the stone wall with his hand, making a slap sound.
"Old man, break it!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"You're crazy!" The old man glared and said loudly: "Why did you ask me to dig a mountain? This rock is so hard..."
"Listen to me, that's right!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said seriously.
The old man stared at Jiang Xingchen for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay! Go back!" Before he finished speaking, the old man's vitality surged, and the space around his right hand fluctuated violently, and he slapped the rock with a slap.
"Crash!" The stone chips flew away, and the rocks more than three meters around the palm fell down.
"I'll make it, old guy, you did it on purpose, I haven't hid yet!" Jiang Xingchen covered his face with his arm and cursed.
"Hehe!" The old man smiled badly, turned his head to look at the rock wall, and suddenly widened his eyes. The falling rock was still rock behind it, but it was obviously not the same material as the broken rock, and it was very flat, with obvious traces of artificial heaving.
"There is really something!" The old man's eyes shone brightly, his feet exerted force, jumped up suddenly, and took action continuously. The banging sound in the closed space made people confused.
Jiang Xingchen was so angry that he cursed and retreated, and his body was covered with stone chips.
A few minutes later, the entire rock was cleared by the old man. Two huge stone doors behind were exposed, reaching the top of the cave from the underground, which was more than eight meters high and five meters wide. At the top of the stone door, two large characters were carved: Dragon Palace.
"Boy, you really have it. How did you know there is a gate behind the rock?" the old man ran over and asked excitedly.
Jiang Xingchen ignored the old man, but frowned and stared at the two words on the stone door, and his thoughts flew.
When he heard the ancestor Chongming said that there was a dragon pill here, he thought that the treasure should be a divine beast, but these two words were obviously carved by man-made sculptures. He couldn't help but think of the temple in the desert. Could it be that the dragon pill was also snatched by warriors to fight against the dragon?
When he approached the stone gate, Jiang Xingchen took the fluorescent stone and looked carefully. He wanted to find records like temple murals. Although he was very prosperous in this world, he always had a mysterious feeling about this world. The vitality, monsters, divine beasts, and species seemed to have a close connection with the earth. He really wanted to uncover this mysterious veil.
But the stone gate is very clean, and there is no trace of the word Dragon Palace except for the word Dragon Palace.
"Boy, you are mute. Talk!" the old man came over and asked.
Jiang Xingchen raised his hand to block the old man, lowered his head to ponder, and after a while, he asked, "Don't you find it strange?"
The old man looked at the stone gate, scratched his head and said, "It's quite strange. How did this stone gate be built behind the rock?"
Jiang Xingchen's eyes twitched twice, and he really wanted to slap him. I'm asking you if this?
"Dig from the inside out, dig out to the fast-transmission, and then repair the stone gate... What I said is, this entrance is kept intact. Where did the ancestor Chongming enter at the beginning?" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Hehe, I know I'm digging from the inside out!" The old man smiled awkwardly and said thinking: "Since this door is digging from the inside out, it means there are other entrances. The Chongming ancestor might have entered from other entrances. Or..."
Jiang Xingchen Interface: "Or this is not the treasure marked on the treasure map at all!"
The old man nodded solemnly. The place is more than 200 miles away from the location marked on the treasure map. The possibility of not finding a treasure is more than 80%.
"No matter what, go in and take a look first. This place is called Dragon Palace. The treasure we are looking for contains dragon pills. Who knows what connection is there?" said the old man.
"Okay! Then let's open the stone gate!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said.
"Boy, please dodge!" The old man said and jumped over again, and he palmed the stone gate.
"Bang!" The stone door was shattered a small layer, and it trembled suddenly, still tightly.
"Damn, it's so hard!" The old man shook his hand. The material of the stone door was much harder than the rock just now.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "This stone gate is half a meter thick, and I have never seen the material before, but the hardness is much higher than that of bluestone. It will probably take you half a day to open it by attacking it!"
"What do you think of? Is there any mechanism?" the old man asked angrily.
"Where did the mechanism come from? Let me do it!" Jiang Xingchen pulled the old man aside, asked the private soldiers to come over, dug a hole under the stone gate, buried two high-explosion grenades, and used silk thread to pull the switch.
Then Jiang Xingchen smashed two molten bottles on the stone door, which was located above the grenade. White phosphorus and oil attached to the stone door and burned. After a while, the temperature of the entire space increased several degrees.
When the flames were extinguished, four private soldiers drew water from the pool and poured it on the stone gate. The sound was squeaking and white mist was shrouded.
Jiang Xingchen pulled everyone and hid in the water, then pulled the silk thread, and the whole cave was shaking with a loud bang. The old man felt the waves above and the rocks under him trembled, like a big earthquake.
When everything calmed down, the old man poked his head out of the water, couldn't help but grow his mouth, and murmured: "God, what kind of grenade is this? It's too powerful!"
At this time, the cave was in a mess. A large hole was blown up in the middle of the stone gate. A large hole appeared in the place where the grenades were buried, and a layer of ground was lifted up.
Jiang Xingchen smiled faintly and ignored the old man. The old man had not come back yet during the experiment of high-explosion grenades.
"Let's go!" Jiang Xingchen waved his hand, and the seven-tailed demon fox that had been hiding in his arms jumped out first.
Behind the stone gate was a stone chamber, which was not very big. But after seeing the situation inside the stone chamber, except for Jiang Xingchen, everyone exclaimed, and saw that there were Yuan stones in the room. Due to the impact of the explosion just now, they were scattered everywhere. At a glance, there were more than 100,000.
"So many natural stones?" The old man's eyes shone. He had seen many Yuan stones, so of course he would not be jealous. But as soon as he came in, he found so many natural stones, which was enough to show the value contained in this treasure.
"No matter it, we can't take it now!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly, and walked forward first.
"Boy, be careful!" The old man hurriedly pulled Jiang Xingchen behind him.
"There is nothing ahead, don't worry!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile, and did not argue with the old man. He followed him to move the material exploration array and investigated forward.
There is no gate in the stone chamber. After going out, there is a manual tunnel built, which is more than three meters wide. It seems that the terrain is walking towards a low place.
On both sides of the passage, you can see a stone chamber every time you walk, which is filled with Yuan stones. Jiang Xingchen looked forward and found as many as seven rooms.
"So many stones? It's strange, what's the purpose? It seems that each room is the same number..." The old man muttered while walking forward, and the four private soldiers were full of confusion.
Jiang Xingchen didn't think too much about it. A huge space appeared three miles away, and the passage ended here. In this space, he found that there were three other passages.
"It seems that I was right before. There should be another entrance to the Dragon Palace. Is this the treasure of the treasure map? Did the Chongming ancestor come here at that time..." Jiang Xingchen pondered all the way.
"Boy, how can we go down there?" The old man's voice came into his ears. Jiang Xingchen's thoughts were interrupted. When he looked up, he had reached the space he had just discovered, and the other three channels led to three directions.
"Wait until I think about it!" Jiang Xingchen raised his hand, and the material exploration array swept to the three channels respectively.
The one directly opposite is similar to the one I came to, with seven or eight stone chambers, with equal amounts of Yuan stones inside. In the end, it was a dead end.
On the right side, Jiang Xingchen's brow gradually frowned. This passage was longer than the other two passages and had no stone chamber.
"What is this?" Jiang Xingchen suddenly discovered the problem. In the second half of the passage, the ground was covered with water, and it seemed to be more than one person tall. And in the water, a thick layer of carapace appeared.
"The crustacean monster... isn't right, it's not alive, it seems that there are only shells..."
With questions, Jiang Xingchen continued to explore, his eyebrows jumped suddenly, and his pupils in his eyes instantly shrank: "There is a problem!"
"Boy, what's wrong?" The old man hurriedly asked when he saw Jiang Xingchen's expression change.
Jiang Xingchen said in a deep voice: "This Dragon Palace is where the ancestor Chongming came!"
"How do you know?" the old man asked.
"The passage on the left is almost filled with wreckage of crustacean monsters. It is probably killed by the ancestor Chongming at the time..."
"Can't you be so sure?" the old man hesitated.
"I wasn't sure at first, but later I found that there were landmines buried in this passage, so this matter could be confirmed!" Jiang Xingchen said coldly.
"What did you say?" The old man was dumbfounded. How could there be a landmine buried in this passage? The most important thing is how Jiang Xingchen knew, and he wouldn't just stand there and think about it.
"There are mines buried in that passage, I can be sure... It seems that my previous concerns are correct. I guessed that the purpose of my trip to sea and could make ambush in advance, the only one of the princesses in the An family!" (~^~)
