Ye An

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Rachiva and several women quickly lowered the sails to bring the boat closer to the shore.

The river was soaring day by day, and the mound was not high from a distance, but when you get closer, you will find that more than one-third of it is buried under the water.

After checking the weapons and equipment he was carrying and confirming that there were no omissions, Ye An told the people staying on the boat to pay attention to safety and be alert to any possible dangers. Then he grabbed the rope and fell off the deck, stepping into the turbulent river.

Rachiva and three women followed.

In addition to their weapons, they also had large bundles of rope and bags made of animal skins.

The bag is made of special animal skin, it is only the size of three or four palms when folded, and it is very convenient to carry.After unfolding, it is easy to pack two or three hundred catties.

Ye An waded forward, carefully observing the surroundings, and at the same time activated his abilities to keep an eye on the water to ensure that there were no hidden predators.

The closer they got to the mound, a vortex suddenly appeared underwater. Ye An and Laqiwa avoided it, but the two women accidentally stepped on it, and half of their bodies fell into the water instantly.

Terrifying suction came from the center of the vortex, and the woman sank at an astonishing speed. If Ye An and Rachiva hadn't reacted in time and quickly rushed up to grab their arms, they might have been drowned on the spot.

"Don't let go!"

Ye An firmly grasped the woman's forearm and dragged it back forcefully.

The woman was familiar with the danger, and after a brief panic, she tried her best to cooperate with Ye An's actions and break out of the vortex little by little.Without needing Ye An's reminder, the woman rushed forward quickly, covering her whole body in muddy water, and finally left the deadly area.

Relying on her strength, Rachiva directly pulled her companion out of the mud, carried her on her shoulders and waded through the water.

Another woman also rushed up, but there was nothing to do from beginning to end.Seeing that his companion was out of danger, he neatly put away the rope he had prepared, and quickly followed Ye An and La Qiwa. He became more cautious in his actions so as not to encounter similar situations again.

A group of people accelerated through the waterway, and when they were about to approach the mound, they encountered a group of mutant eels.

This group of rice field eels lived in the mud holes at the bottom of the mound, and since there were no natural enemies in the nearby waters, they became the overlord.Each eel is more than three meters long and swims in the water like a python wrapped in mud.

"careful!"

Sensing that the visitor was not kind, Ye An didn't have time to assimilate. When he saw the black light shooting out of the water, he immediately reached out and grabbed a yellow eel by the neck.

The eel's mouth is covered with jagged fangs, shining a frightening cold light.The body, which was as thick as an adult's wrist, twisted continuously in mid-air, with astonishing strength, and almost broke free several times.

Ye An was attacked, so La Qiwa and others would not be spared.

Fortunately, several of them are good hunters and know how to deal with danger. Even if they are not as easy to catch the target as Ye An, they can protect themselves from injury, and cut the attacking rice field eel in two with their backhands.

The eel fell into the water, blood flowed from the wound, and half of the body was still twisting, causing large splashes of water, which looked very scary.

Rachiva bent down and grabbed one, and clicked regretfully when she found the elongated plaque on the back of the eel.

"This kind of poisonous, can't eat."

The crisis was resolved, and the group continued to move forward, finally reaching the mound.

The bottom of the mound was flooded, just covering the entrance to the burrow.

According to the memories searched from the minds of Signe and the gangsters, Ye An walked around the mound, found the approximate location of the entrance, moved the mask hanging on his body to his face, and tied it to his face with a rope.

The mask is made by kapok, it doesn't look very good, it looks a bit hideous at first glance, but it is an extremely delicate breathing device, which can ensure that Ye An will not be in danger due to lack of oxygen when diving for a long time.

Ye An was ready, and motioned to Laqiva and the others.

Through the mask, the voice inevitably became blurred, and he could only use gestures to let the other party understand his intentions and convey the next action plan.

Rachiva and her companions nodded, quickly put on the mask, fastened the cords that went around the ears, and secured the knots behind their heads.

When everything was ready, Ye An dived into the water first, followed by Laqiwa and others.

The figures of several people disappeared on the water surface one after another, leaving only ripples.

The river was very turbid and the visibility was extremely low. Ye An relied on supernatural powers to lock the position and release light to guide Laqiva and others so that they would not deviate from the direction.

The bottom of the mound was hollowed out and filled with huge bluestones.

Ye Anyou observed closely and groped on the stones with his hands, and found that these stones had been polished and arranged according to a certain rule, tightly blocking the river water from the cave.

After groping for a while, Ye An found a place similar to the entrance, and tried to move the bluestone, but the stone gradually began to loosen.

Rachiva and others swam over to help Ye An clean up the nearby rocks.

Several people worked together, even with the pressure of the water flow, the stones were gradually moved away, revealing a dark corridor.

The hole appeared, and the river quickly poured in.

After confirming that the passage was not blocked, there was a faint cold wind, Ye An and others quickly entered the cave, moved the bluestone again, blocked the entrance of the cave again, and also cut off the river outside the cave.

The temperature in the tunnel is very low, and there is a long stone road under the feet, which is now submerged by the river, and the water line exceeds Ye An's calf and approaches his knee.

"Follow me."

There was no light in the cave, and it was inconvenient to light a fire for the time being, so Ye An simply released his supernatural power, wrapping his whole body in light, turning himself into a light source.

After a certain distance, the road surface suddenly becomes steep, extending downward at a 45-degree angle, like a cliff.

Ye An raised his arm, motioning for Laqiva and the others to stop where they were, and walked forward alone, squatting down to observe carefully.

He soon discovered that the steep slope was man-made, and there was a long and narrow waterway underneath. The river water flowing into the cave flowed down the slope and would be discharged along the waterway instead of going deeper.

In front of the stone slope are several tall stone pillars, which are scattered in the water and extend to the opposite ramp, which can just replace the bridge.

After observing carefully for a while, Ye An picked up a stone and threw it at the stone pillar. After confirming that there was no danger, he waved to Laqiva and the others, pointed to the opposite stone pillar, jumped out first, and easily jumped over the top of the stone pillar. His movements were agile, like A lithe feline.

Arriving at the opposite bank, Ye An stood still on the road also paved with bluestones, his eyes pierced the darkness, scanned the cliffs on both sides, and made sure that this place was already underground, and moving forward, it should be the first place where the bandits hid their treasure.

Rachiva and the others followed Ye An across the river and along the steeper road.

About 500 meters away, the ground collapsed, and they had to pass against the stone wall.Only half a foot is on the remaining stone surface, and it will slip off if you don't pay attention. The process is very thrilling.

In fact, although Ye An and the others were in the air, the height did not exceed ten meters. With their abilities, even if they stepped on the air and fell, they would not be injured.However, with the help of the light released by Ye An, one can clearly see the jagged rocks at the bottom, with sharp stone edges and stalagmites all over them, and if they accidentally fall, it is impossible to retreat completely, and the light ones are seriously injured and the severe ones die.

Ye An had a guess that this stone road was not destroyed by natural force, but was broken by bandits on their own initiative.They have a secret way of getting in and out, leaving this area of ​​traps designed to block and kill strange intruders.

Ye An regretted that he didn't search for the gangster's memory further, so that he ignored the danger in the cave.Fortunately, the situation is not too bad, as far as the current problems are encountered, they can solve them.

Passing through the broken stone road, the scenery in front of me suddenly opened up.

The darkness gradually faded, and a soft light appeared in front of it, and a hazy halo emerged.Not like sunlight, but like some kind of luminous body.

Ye An calmed down, and before he was not sure whether it was a trap, he signaled the team members to distance themselves from each other.He still takes the lead, and Laqiva follows in the second place, ensuring that in the event of danger, there is enough ability to rescue.

After walking a certain distance, the radiance becomes even stronger.

A large piece of soft light filled the cave, and colorful halos bloomed.

Ye An subconsciously slowed down, keeping the same distance step by step.

When he got closer and saw what the glowing thing was, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Countless pearls and night pearls are spread on the ground, surrounded by more than a hundred cages. Most of the cages are tightly closed, and only a few of them are too full, so there is a gap between the cage and the cage.

It can be seen through the gap that the box is full of all kinds of rare treasures, and there are even sealed rare medicinal materials, which emit a unique smell.

Ye An took a deep breath, bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and felt a slight tingling sensation, which convinced him that everything in front of him was not an illusion, but extremely real.

This is only the first treasure location, and judging from the layout, it is not very elaborate.From this, it can be speculated that what amazing wealth will be hidden in the stronghold carefully hidden by Xilian and Signe!
