Chapter 1563
Chapter 1563
After two hours of fierce fighting, the land was stained with blood, and the air was filled with a disgusting bloody smell.
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan stood back to back, breathing heavily. Their clothes were already torn and their bodies were covered with wounds of varying depths.
Huo Jilin's eyes were full of determination, and the long sword in his hand was still dripping with blood.
He turned his head to look at Wang Kaixuan, who was also exhausted, and shouted: "Brother, try harder, it's almost over!"
Wang Kaixuan gritted his teeth and responded: "Okay, fight them!"
After that, the two rushed into the group of bandits again.
Huo Jilin's sword was like a gust of wind, and every time he swung it, it brought a cold light and accurately stabbed the bandits' vital points.
Wang Kaixuan wielded a heavy broadsword, and the bandits avoided him wherever he went.
Finally, with the fall of the last bandit, this tragic battle came to an end.
Huo Jilin suddenly collapsed on the ground, panting heavily, and said, "Finally, we got rid of all these guys."
Wang Kaixuan also sat down next to him, wiping the blood off his face and saying,
"It was a really fierce battle, and I almost died here."
Huo Jilin rested for a while, slowly stood up, and a mysterious light flashed in his eyes.
He put his hands together, muttered something, and a powerful force surged out of his body.
The ground began to tremble violently, and then with a "boom", a huge hole appeared in front of them.
Wang Kaixuan widened his eyes in surprise and said, "Brother Huo, what kind of magical power is this?"
Huo Jilin smiled slightly and said, "This is a secret technique I learned by chance. I didn't expect it to come in handy today."
The two walked to the edge of the cave and looked inside, and saw a dark passage in front of them.
Wang Kaixuan carefully picked up a stone and threw it in. Listening to the sound of the stone rolling down, he said:
"This passage looks a bit old."
Huo Jilin nodded and said, "Let's go down and take a look."
The two slowly climbed down along the steep cave wall.
The passage was filled with an old smell, and the torches on the wall had long been extinguished.
Huo Jilin lit a fire starter, and the faint light swayed in the darkness.
Suddenly, Wang Kaixuan pointed to the front and shouted, "Look, what is that?"
Huo Jilin looked in the direction of his finger and saw piles of boxes neatly stacked there.
They walked over quickly and opened one of the boxes. Suddenly, their eyes lit up.
"This... This is full of gold, silver and jewelry!" Wang Kaixuan's voice trembled with excitement.
Huo Jilin opened a few more boxes, which contained precious medicinal materials, rare minerals, and some ancient magic weapons.
Huo Jilin said excitedly:
"If these materials are excavated and sold to the largest pawnshop in Tongxin City, Baiyue Building, we will make a fortune!"
Wang Kaixuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, we are really lucky this time.
However, how can we transport so many things out?"
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, let's find out the situation here first, and then think of a way."
The two continued to explore in the passage and found that the materials here were far richer than they imagined.
"Haha, with these, we don't have to live a hard life in the future." Wang Kaixuan couldn't help laughing.
Huo Jilin said, "But we must be careful and don't let others discover this secret."
Wang Kaixuan patted his chest and said, "Brother Huo, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut."
The two were full of longing for the future, as if they had seen the scene of themselves living a rich life.
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan continued to explore in the transportation channel excitedly.
"Brother Huo, how come this passage is underground and there are so many treasures hidden?"
Wang Kaixuan asked curiously while looking through the things in the box.
Huo Jilin frowned and thought for a moment, then said:
"I guess this may be a secret transportation line of a big family or chamber of commerce a hundred years ago, and it may be buried underground due to some changes."
Wang Kaixuan nodded suddenly: "So that's the case, then we are really lucky."
The two continued to move forward and found some strange instruments and documents.
"These things look like account books and transportation records." Huo Jilin picked up a yellowed account book and looked through it carefully.
Wang Kaixuan came over: "Can you see any clues?"
Huo Jilin shook his head: "It's been too long, and many words are blurred.
But what is certain is that the value of this batch of materials is far beyond our imagination."
"Then we have to find a way to transport these things out quickly,In exchange for real gold and silver."
Wang Kaixuan's eyes flashed with greed.
Huo Jilin said calmly: "Don't rush. Let's not talk about the narrow entrance of this passage and the difficulty of transportation."
"Even if it is shipped out, how to sell it to Baiyue Building without attracting attention is also a problem."
Wang Kaixuan scratched his head: "That's true, then what should we do?"
Huo Jilin thought for a while and said:
"We have to ship these materials out in batches, find a hidden place to hide them, and then slowly look for suitable buyers."
"Well, this is the only way." Wang Kaixuan replied.
Just then, a strange sound came from the depths of the passage.
"What sound?" Wang Kaixuan nervously clenched the big knife in his hand.
Huo Jilin made a gesture of silence and walked carefully in the direction of the sound.
The two got closer and closer, and the sound became clearer and clearer, as if something was squirming.
"It won't be a monster, right? "Wang Kaixuan's voice was trembling.
Huo Jilin comforted: "Don't be afraid, let's take a look first."
When they finally saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but gasp.
I saw a group of huge insects gnawing at some wooden boxes.
"What the hell is this?" Wang Kaixuan couldn't help shouting.
The insects heard the sound and turned their heads, revealing their hideous mouthparts.
Huo Jilin made a prompt decision: "Quick, use a fire stick!"
Wang Kaixuan quickly lit the fire stick and threw it at the insect swarm, and the insects were frightened away by the fire.
"Take advantage of now, run quickly!" Huo Jilin pulled Wang Kaixuan back.
Back to the place where the supplies were first found, the two were panting.
"What can we do? With those insects, it's hard for us to move the supplies." Wang Kaixuan said worriedly.
Huo Jilin pondered for a moment and said: "We have to find a way to get rid of those insects first."
"How to get rid of them? Those bugs don't look easy to deal with. "Wang Kaixuan looked worried.
Huo Jilin said, "I remember seeing a herb for repelling insects in an ancient book. Maybe it can be used."
"What are you waiting for? Go find it quickly." Wang Kaixuan said anxiously.
The two left the passage and began to look for the herb.
After some effort, they finally found it in a valley.
"Great, there is a way now." Huo Jilin picked the herb and returned to the passage with Wang Kaixuan again.
They lit the herb, and the thick smoke filled the passage.
The bugs couldn't stand it and fled.
