Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 636
After 10 minutes passed, the atmosphere became even more serious. Lao Yan slammed his fist on the side wall of the van, forcibly punching a small sunken hole in the side wall. His finger also clicked, apparently broken.

When he wanted to smash it again, I stopped him, and I said word by word: "Old Yan, I'll go and have a look."

"Didn't you listen to what Hou Chengcheng said?" He stared into my eyes.

I chuckled lightly: "That's also Miss Hou's judgment, so something may not happen. Besides, I may be blessed by the heavens, otherwise how could I survive to this day?"

Lao Yan looked at me, obviously wanting me to see it again, and he was a little bit reluctant.

I patted him on the shoulder and reassured him that it's all right, this is just an ordinary mountain, what else can there be under the spring?
Lao Yan lowered his head and said after a while: "This is not an ordinary mountain, this..."

He seemed to be at a loss for words, and just as I was about to continue asking, a shrill voice sounded not far away, and I was so startled that I immediately looked over—it wasn’t one of us.

The others obviously heard it too, and Kunbu quickly released the Shadow Gu, and then he also followed the Shadow Gu, running towards the place where the sound came from.

The shrill voice returned to calm after only one sound, but the sharp and desperate voice, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, made me tremble uncontrollably.

"Lao, Lao Yan, what is that?" My tone trembled.

It sounds like a human voice, but I'm not sure, because how can a human make such a scream like a ghost?
Lao Yan's face darkened, while Hou Chengcheng took a look at him, and then pulled out a small silver pistol from his waist.

My pupils shrank. I know this pistol. It is a palm mine. It is most suitable for sneak attack and self-defense. Most of the people who use it are women, because it is small and exquisite.

But if it is an actual combat, it will not choose this kind of gun, because the stock of magazines is too small, and there are only five bullets in a magazine, and the very small one in Hou Chengcheng's hand is probably only two bullets.

This is the biggest weakness of this pistol. Who will give you time to reload in a fierce battle?

If Hou Chengcheng had experience, why did he still choose such a gun? Is it just for the sake of looking good?

These thoughts were only twirled in my mind before I threw them out of the sky. The flying knife appeared in the hand instantly, and we all tensed up and faced the direction of the screaming sound.

There is a dense forest, and weeds are reborn at the roots. It looks like an inaccessible place, but there are things in such a place.

Whoa!
Suddenly, there was a sound of water behind me, and without even thinking about it, I turned around and flew out with a throwing knife, and then I said in horror: "Get out of the way!"

As soon as my voice fell, an angry voice came over me: "Liu Chang'an, are you trying to kill me?"

I trembled all over, but my heart relaxed, and I said with a smile, senior, I didn't do it on purpose, and if you have a lot, please spare me.

The one making the sound of the water was the gopher, standing shirtless near the shore of the spring, holding my throwing knife in his right hand.

Fortunately... Fortunately, I reminded you in time, and fortunately, the gophers reacted very quickly, which did not let me succeed.Otherwise, he didn't encounter any danger at the bottom, and he was stabbed by my flying knife as soon as he came up, and he probably wouldn't be able to rest in peace after entering the Palace of the King of Hades.

The gopher climbed up from the spring intact. Maybe we were all looking at him. He was a little strange and asked us what happened?
"Just now a column of water burst out of the spring, didn't you know?" Lao Yan asked strangely.

Gopher shook his head, he really didn't look like he knew, Lao Yan then asked him what was at the bottom of the spring, and Gopher's eyes lit up: "Not to mention, the eldest niece's judgment is right, there is a From there, the spring water is only knee-deep, and I walked forward for about five or six minutes before returning, so I’m not sure if that road can lead all the way to Mount Li.”

Hou Chengcheng stood aside, seeming to be looking at us back and forth, and there was something wrong with that look.

After a long time, she said lightly, "Senior, take two steps back."

The gopher hummed because he didn't understand, Hou Chengcheng waved his hand, and then he realized it, and hurriedly took two steps back.And just when he backed away, there was a bang, the place where he was standing was about the size of a fist, the soil was suddenly arched up, and a black thing rushed out, I haven't seen it yet. Clear, that thing drilled back again.

"What is it?" I held the flying knife and stared at my feet, only to see lumps of dirt popping up on the ground one after another, irregularly and at such a fast speed that the flying knife couldn't catch up with its speed.

The bag of earth arched over the spring for the last time, and then disappeared.

I chased after it, but there was no movement in the spring water.

I frowned, turned my head and asked Lao Yan what is this?
Lao Yan didn't speak, but Hou Chengcheng said with a smile: "It's just a small thing. It depends on the mountains and eats the mountains. We may have disturbed it."

litter thing?

I thought about it, that thing is really not big, so at a glance, it should be only as thick as an adult's forearm, and it looks like a big mouse.

"Pangolin, right?" Lao Yan chuckled, saying that he never expected to meet this thing, if he could catch it, he might be able to lead us the way.

pangolin?
I immediately lay down on the ground, staring at the place where it disappeared last, and said excitedly, "Are you sure it's a pangolin?"

Lao Yan looked at me strangely and asked me why I was so excited?
I pointed to his neck: "It's not rumored that the Touching Gold Talisman is made from the claws of pangolins. It is said that it is extremely hard, and sometimes it can even assist in tomb robbery."

Lao Yan smiled helplessly, and said, you child think too much, there is no such an easy thing, touching the golden talisman is indeed made with pangolin claws, but it is very rare.After all, pangolins are very strange things, and they are not so easy to catch. Besides, anyone with a little brain knows that a living pangolin is more useful than a dead one.

I groaned, but still lay there without getting up, because my interest in pangolins was not only because of Lao Yan, but also because it was mentioned in "Star Official Secrets".

Pangolins appear to be able to guard burials.

Naturally, I was curious what kind of thing could have the same effect as me?

Lao Yan came over and pulled me up from the ground, and said helplessly, "It's just a kind of animal in the mountains. It's because of the myth that they are becoming less and less..."

When he said it, there was a feeling of pity. I didn't quite understand it, but I also heard what he meant, so I smiled and said that I just wanted to see it, and didn't think about arresting it.

Because the gopher came back safely, the atmosphere between us has also eased a lot, but the inexplicable water column and Kumbu, who has not come back after chasing the screaming sound, made my heart heavy.

The gopher wiped his body casually, put on his clothes, and then described the environment below.

The spring water is very deep, about four or five meters. It is better to go down with scuba diving. If he is not used to the water, the five-meter dive alone will make him suffer a lot!

Hou Chengcheng has already made a plan, saying that she has prepared scuba, which is not a problem.

The gopher hummed, and then asked us about the water column.

I described it carefully with him, and he nodded thoughtfully, saying that maybe there is something in it...

"Senior, don't scare me." Hou Chengcheng smiled coquettishly, and said that she didn't like things in the water, it was so greasy and disgusting.

I stared at her with wide eyes, my God, is this the point?

The gopher was also helpless by what she said, saying that he was just guessing, and felt that there was indeed something in it.

No one denies this point, if there is nothing, then could it be that the water column appeared suddenly?

"I'll go and see Kumbu." Ms. Qiu, who has been a little abnormal since the car arrived here and is not as active as usual, suddenly opened her mouth. The silver jug ​​in her hand is dangling. Combined with her blushing cheeks, it is not difficult to see She has drank a lot of wine.

Miss Qiu loves to drink, but she is absolutely not addicted to alcohol. I have never seen her finish the wine in this jug, nor have I seen her drink when she has no need.

In such a short time that I was puzzled, she had already got up and walked towards the direction that Kumbu left. Lao Yan gave me a wink, and I immediately understood, grabbed my backpack and followed Miss Qiu.

She's not in a very stable state right now...

Walking behind her, I felt this even more deeply. Even her footsteps are vain. Although she controls it very well, you can still see it if you pay attention.

Miss Qiu is a neat and tidy person, even if she walks in such a forest, it is impossible to be so crooked, and she seems a little impatient.

I don't understand why she is anxious, is she anxious about Kumbu?

But Kumbu often goes out to find the way when he is on a mission, because none of us can find the way more accurately than him, and no one has the ability to control Gu insects like him, so generally all such things are left to him. Of course he is also happy.

To be honest, I am not very worried about Kumbu. So far, except for the trip back to southern Xinjiang, I have hardly seen him get seriously injured.Of course, it doesn't mean that he won't be in danger, but his recovery speed after being injured is really the most amazing I have ever seen.

Ms. Qiu is very calm. If she said she was worried about Kumbu, I would not believe it, but when I thought about the state between her and Kumbu in those few days in 701, I was a little suspicious. Could it be that she was concerned about Kumbu?

"Chang'an, what are you thinking! I have called you several times." Suddenly, Miss Qiu turned around, held my ear, and almost shouted at me.

I followed her cautiously, for fear that something would happen to her, and at the same time, I was still thinking about whether she really fell in love with Kumbu, and I was a little distracted for a while, and I didn't hear Miss Qiu calling me.So I touched my ears and smiled at her awkwardly, and asked her what's wrong?
Ms. Qiu gave me a strange look. Seeing that I had a good attitude, she didn't care about it. She pointed to a small sapling on her right and asked me if I could see the problem with this little sapling.
