The richest man starts from the treasure hunt in the container

Chapter 441 Surprise and fright

All three had very good hearing and good eyesight.

At this point, they had seen what had fallen from the plane.

That thing is not falling in a free fall, but the kind that floats around.

"With a parachute!"

All three felt this way.

"Boss, do you think the reason for these people's visit is the same as ours before?" Ran Jie said in a deep voice.

"It should be." Zhu Yu nodded, "This plane has been circling here for several days, and it must have been looking for the target. The ones that landed now are probably people and equipment."

"Then what should we do?" Cao Dalong felt unwilling, "Should we take advantage of their unsteady footing and do it for a while?"

Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"Farewell first. Our main task now is to find Qin Fei. As for them... let's wait until we find Qin Fei."

If Qin Fei was found and the other party hadn't found the treasure yet, then Zhu Yu didn't mind competing.

Treasure hunting itself is a winner takes all.It is not impossible to prey on the weak.

Cao Dalong and Ran Jie looked at each other, and they both understood.

Yes, now the main task is to find Qin Fei.

Others, talk about it later!

"Let's go, let's look for it overnight!" Zhu Yu said suddenly, "It's more troublesome during the daytime. Let's go up the river at night. Maybe we can find the breakpoint of the river earlier and enter the underground river."

Even though they thought so, the three of them knew that there was a possibility of this, but it wasn't too great.

It's just that Qin Fei can enter the underground river quietly, so they should also have a chance.

Now Zhu Yu even felt a little regretful, he should have searched for that puddle at that time, maybe he could find the entrance to the underground river.

But it was too late to say anything, he wasn't sure if he had other thoughts in his decision to go up the river.

Hope to find a new entrance to the underground river.

The three of them carried their bags and walked forward in silence.

After walking forward for more than a kilometer, I suddenly heard a dull rumbling sound!
"Boss, listen!" Cao Dalong became excited immediately, "Is this an underground river?"

"Yes." Zhu Yu opened his sky eyes and saw the water in the underground river. The underground river here is a bend, and the water is a little urgent, so the voice came up.

Moreover, the underground river here is only five or six meters away from the ground, which is much shallower than before, which gave Zhu Yu even greater hope!

"Go, keep going, maybe if you look again, you can find the entrance!"

The three of them were very excited, and even their steps became much lighter.

"Bang bang bang!"

Suddenly, a few clear gunshots in the distance made the three of them stop.

"The gunfire is in the southwest, about 500 meters away from here." Ran Jie reported the data in a low voice.

"That should be fine." Zhu Yu nodded, "Let's continue."

In fact, there were gunshots, and he was quite happy.

This shows that they are not the only ones who are looking for the treasure now, but also the group that landed, and even those unknown people.

They backed out now, just in time for dog to eat dog.

The three continued to move forward, but the footsteps were much lighter.

None of them wanted the attention of those people.In fact, the three of them are thinking about the same thing now.

"stop!"

Zhu Yu suddenly whispered.

Ran Jie and Cao Dalong stopped immediately.

"Stay close to the river bank and hide!" Zhu Yu ordered again, and at the same time he dodged to the side and leaned against the river bank.

The widest part of this river bank is less than 20 meters, and the river bank is no more than two meters from the bottom to the top. It seems that the water is not big.

The three of them leaned against the wall and remained motionless. After about a few minutes, the sound of rustling footsteps came from above their heads.

Zhu Yu could hear the footsteps of five people in total. They walked downstream along the river bank, walked for a while, and turned back to a direction farther away from the bank.

After several minutes, Zhu Yu said:
"Okay, let's move on."

"Boss, who are they?"

While walking, Cao Dalong asked.

"Maybe it's also for treasure hunting. But some people are barefoot, or they may be natives in the desert."

Zhu Yu wasn't sure either, after all, he didn't raise his head or open his eyes before, so he didn't see anyone coming.

Regardless of them, anyway, there will be no intersection for the time being.

"The sound of the underground river has disappeared!" Cao Dalong said suddenly.

At this time Zhu Yu and Ran Jie also noticed.

Zhu Yu took a look with his heavenly eyes and said:

"It should be that the water in the underground river has calmed down, so I can't hear it."

Sky Eye saw that the underground river was closer to the ground, and the water flow was not large, but the width of the underground river had increased, and the water flow was about half a meter, so there was no sound coming up.

"That's good!" Cao Dalong was slightly relieved.

For Zhu Yu, he was still very convinced.

After walking another few hundred meters, there was a black thing in front of him, and Zhu Yu suddenly became happy:
"Here, go down from here, you should be able to find the entrance of the underground river!" The terrain here is much lower, like a deep pit in the river.And this deep pit has some water at the bottom, not much water, but very clear.

"There won't be any strange things in this water, right?" Although Cao Dalong and Ran Jie were not as good at night vision as Zhu Yu, they were much better than ordinary people.

But they can only see that there is water in the pit, and they cannot see whether there is anything in the water.

"No." Zhu Yu said, "Let's go, we don't need to go into the water, you follow me..."

Zhu Yu slowly walked down the deep pit. There were many footprints of wild beasts here, which made it easier for them to go down.

When he was about to go down to the bottom of the pit, Zhu Yu turned to the side, and then groped into a relatively hidden cave on the side.

"This place used to be a den for crocodiles and the like," Zhu Yu said while bending over and touching in, "but then it was probably because the river dried up and the crocodiles moved away or escaped, so this place became empty."

Ran Jie and Cao Dalong followed immediately.

"Here...you can't see anything!"

Cao Dalong looked around. The pothole was slanted downwards, only two meters deep and about 1.5 meters high. It smelled bad, but there was nothing there.

"Don't worry, just wait and see!" Zhu Yu smiled, then walked to the bottom of the pit, and suddenly stomped down hard.

With this kick, a big hole suddenly appeared under Zhu Yu's feet, and then he fell down together with the soil under his feet!
Ran Jie and Cao Dalong were startled!
They immediately ran to the edge of the pit and looked down.

"It's okay, you guys come down too!"

At the bottom of the pit, about three or four meters away from their feet, Zhu Yu was stepping on the bank of the underground river and waving at them:
"Come down, let's go find Qin Fei!"

Ran Jie and Cao Dalong also jumped down immediately.

After the three went down, Zhu Yu looked around and said:
"Qin Fei probably didn't come here, let's go back!"

"Good!"

They walked back along the underground river, and at this time, the sound here also attracted some people's attention.

Someone ran over here immediately, and they came to the edge of the deep pit accurately, but found that the water in the pit did not move at all.

After lighting with a flashlight for a while, they left without finding anything.

The channel of the underground river is more than two meters high, and the upper surface is relatively humid, with water dripping down from time to time.

The two sides are slightly wider than the underground river, so there are some places to stay.

But it’s not all like this. In some places, especially where the water is rushing, the river almost occupies the entire plane, and three people can only wade through it.

"what?"

Zhu Yu suddenly bent down and picked up a gold coin in the water.

"There are gold coins in it? What is the origin of this underground river?"

Cao Dalong and Ran Jie are in a very good mood now.

As long as the environment in the underground river is not very harsh, they believe that Qin Fei will be able to survive in it.

After all, from now on, at least there are no more ferocious animals in the underground river, and the water can be drunk.

So they relaxed, and were curious about Zhu Yu's ability to pick up the gold coins.

"I guess, does the source of this underground river, or somewhere, have anything to do with that treasure?" Zhu Yu said his thoughts, "After all, this place is relatively close to the treasure..."

If it's a gold nugget or something, it's easy to understand, it means that there is a gold mine somewhere at the source of the underground river.

But now it is gold coins, which are obviously minted. This can only explain one reason, there is a source of gold coins upstream.

"It doesn't matter how much it is, find Qin Fei first." Zhu Yu said again, "If we find it, let's not go up for now and go up along the river, maybe we will get the treasure first."

Ran Jie and Cao Dalong had smiles on their faces, which was naturally the best.

The three of them walked down quickly.

"Eh? There's a fish in here?" Zhu Yu bent down again, this time he touched a fish the size of a palm.

The fish is translucent, the eyes are white, and it seems that there are no pupils. I don't know if it is a deformity, or because it is in an underground river and does not see the sun, it evolved like this.

If there are fish, it means there is a source of food, so if Qin Fei is down there, he won't be hungry.

There is air, water, and fish—survival is basically no problem for Qin Fei.

The hearts of the three of them were half lost.

"Another gold coin!" After walking a few steps, Zhu Yu picked up another gold coin by the river.

The river water was a bit muddy, Cao Dalong and Ran Jie couldn't see anything underwater, and they attributed Zhu Yu's harvest to the fact that Zhu Yu's eyesight was better than theirs.

It's normal to think about it, after all Zhu Yu absorbed much more energy than theirs.

After a long time, Zhu Yu didn't find anything again.

The river channel gradually widened, and the river water also gradually deepened. Zhu Yu found that along the way, there were several small tributaries in the middle that merged into this underground river.

He guessed that there should be other oases in the desert with underground springs.

This place is not really a barren land, but its vitality is covered by yellow sand.

The strength of the three people is far beyond that of ordinary people, and they even eat while walking all the way down.

After walking for about two hours, they saw a place with more rapid water ahead.

It was there before, that is, the place where the rumbling sound was heard.

But the deepest water there is only more than one meter, just wade through.But here is almost like a cliff, the water rushed directly down.

Maybe because there was a puddle washed down a long time ago, there wasn't much noise.

But this puddle, Zhu Yu saw, was at least three meters deep!

The two sides are also very narrow, only about ten centimeters, if you step on it badly, you will fall into the deep pit.

Danger is not dangerous, but if you fall into it, you will be more embarrassed.

"Follow me!" Zhu Yu went first, "Don't step on the wrong step, otherwise, if you fall in, everything will get wet!"

Zhu Yu slowly stepped on the stones beside the river, and then sprinted over.

This time, he jumped more than three meters away, and fell directly into the water of the lower channel with a drop of nearly two meters - the edge is [-] to [-] centimeters deep, which is acceptable.

"It won't be easy to come up later." Ran Jie took a look.

"Yes." Zhu Yu hurriedly said:

"You nail a rope to the side, nail it firmly, and when we come back, pull the rope up."

Ran Jie and Cao Dalong immediately took out the rope from their backpacks. After looking at the terrain on both sides, they chose a better place to go, nailed a rope into the hard stone-soil mixed cave wall, and threw the rope down the river.

Zhu Yu connected the rope over there, then took out the engineering shovel from the backpack, wedged it directly into the wall next to it, and wound the rope around it.

"Okay, come down." Zhu Yu beckoned to the two of them.

Ran Jie and Cao Dalong jumped down one after another.

Zhu Yu took a deep look at the deep pit where the water rushed out, and then waved his hand:

"Go, find Qin Fei!"

The three walked forward quickly, Cao Dalong couldn't help but say:

"I don't know where Lao Qin is now, will he go up like us..."

"I guess it should be." Ran Jie replied.

"There are two possibilities, one is that when he fell, he would find a way to climb up from the place where he fell.

Another possibility is that when he finds that he cannot climb up, he will go up or down with the current. "

"Then it will be troublesome if it goes down." Cao Dalong was a little worried.

"It's unlikely to go down. Let's go all the way. If we go down, there's no way to get out." Zhu Yu continued to analyze, "Only going up is possible."

Cao Dalong raised his head and looked up. At this moment, the top of the cave was two or three meters away from them.It's really hard to climb up.

"Who?"

In the distance, someone suddenly shouted.

The three of them froze for a moment, and then they were ecstatic!

"Old Qin, it's us!" Cao Dalong reacted the fastest, rushing forward while shouting!
About 40 to [-] meters ahead, the river channel suddenly became narrower, and the river became more rapid, and a figure was at the position where the river was rushing to the other side, where the river channel was relatively gentle.

"Old Qin, it's great that you're still alive!"

Cao Dalong ignored the rapids of the river and jumped into the water, wading forward.

"careful!"

Zhu Yu also followed, seeing Cao Dalong's movements, he quickly reminded him.

But it was too late for this reminder, Cao Dalong was wading in the water when he suddenly splashed and fell down.

There is a small bend here, and a nearly two-meter-deep pit emerges from the bottom, which cannot be seen from the surface at all!

Fortunately, the hole was not big, after Cao Dalong was flooded, he was quickly washed out again.

The calm water below was less than one meter deep, Cao Dalong immediately stabilized his figure, and Qin Fei over there quickly ran over and pulled him out.

The two hugged each other.

"I didn't expect you to be alive!" Cao Dalong shouted excitedly.

"Didn't you come down?" Qin Fei patted him vigorously, "I guess you will go up the river to find the entrance!"

At this moment, Zhu Yu and Ran Jie also crossed the rapids and came to Qin Fei's side.

Qin Fei's clothes were covered with water and mud. When he fell, he didn't bring his backpack, so he didn't even have a change of clothes.

"Are you starving?" Zhu Yu took out compressed dry food, chocolate and mustard from the backpack, "Let's put it on first, and I'll get you self-heating rice."

"I'm coming!" Cao Dalong finally came to his senses, "Old Qin, you are amazing! Come on, sit down and rest, eat something, and just tell us about the situation."

Ran Jie took out clothes from Qin Fei's bag and asked him to change into them: "You have suffered a lot this time."

Probably after being held in the underground river for a long time, Qin Fei also talked more. While changing his clothes, with chocolate stuffed in his mouth, he said vaguely:
"At that time, I was very happy to see the little deer being trapped. I wanted to get it in the past, but before I arrived, two big fish came to snatch it, so I was not happy..."

Swallowing what was in his mouth, Qin Fei changed his clothes and continued:

"The big fish was quite flexible and wanted to drag me into the water. I took a knife and cut open one fish, but the other two fish sneaked up and dragged me to the bottom of the water. In the mud, the more you struggle, the deeper you get."

He sighed, sat on the river, bit a piece of compressed dry food, and ate slowly:

"I thought I was going to hang up at the time, but I didn't expect to sink to the bottom and fall down. I was suffocated, but I was woken up by the fall!"

The three of Zhu Yu secretly rejoiced, if it hadn't fallen, Qin Fei's little life would really be hanging there.

"At that time, I wanted to climb up, but I didn't have tools, so I couldn't go up at all. Then I thought, since there is an underground river and air here, there must be a place to go up."

"Come on, eat some hot food!" Cao Dalong has already prepared the self-heating rice and handed it to Ran Jie:

"Have you been hungry for the past two days?"

"It's okay. There are fish in the river, although there are not many, but they can still fill your stomach." Ran Jie smiled, "It's not good to eat raw, and I don't know if there are any parasites."

Looking at his messy hair and haggard expression, and thinking about the psychological hesitation of not being sure whether he can go out all the way, ordinary people may really not be able to endure it.

Holding the hot rice in his hand, Qin Fei restrained himself and didn't eat fast. He praised while eating:
"I used to think this stuff was just like that. Now it feels really delicious, and I can remember it forever!"

"Okay, okay, don't be sensational!" Cao Dalong's mood has returned to calm, "After going through this, you have to be careful in the future. You were the most cautious among the three of us, but this time, this experience really made me Accident."

"It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise!" Zhu Yu interjected, "Otherwise, we might have confronted those people!"

"Which group of people?" Qin Fei stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Is there anyone else up there?"

"There were people, and probably more than a bunch."

Qin Fei smiled:
"That's not afraid of them!"

There are people who have died once, like Qin Fei, who take life and death lightly!
