Chapter 278 You two have really good brains

Although they had guessed the identities of Yu Youning and his group, and they were protected by divine beasts, the treasure was no longer within their reach.

But it’s nice to take a look!

If you miss an opportunity like today, you don’t know when the next one will be. You must cherish it!

These people from the martial arts world held their breath and didn't dare to make any noise, for fear that Yu Youning would not take them with him.

Yu Youning had no idea what they were thinking. She just opened her big black eyes and looked down without blinking.

Teng Snake has been moving downwards, but the situation inside is unclear, so Teng Snake's speed is not particularly fast, but it is definitely not slow.

It had been a while, but they still hadn't reached the bottom, which made Yu Youning and others feel puzzled.

How deep is this hole?

Why has it been falling for such a long time, but it is still bottomless?

Staring down, an idea suddenly popped up in Yu Youning's mind.

"Xu, don't you think this looks like the mountain on the treasure map?"

Chu Huaixu was surprised when he heard Yu Youning's words.

But when I think about it carefully, I think it is really possible!

"Very likely!" Chu Huaixu nodded.

Huo Qingchen looked puzzled. "But why is that mountain right under our feet?"

Wen Xiangli pondered for a moment and answered, "It's possible that this treasure map took too long to draw. Even the mountains have changed over time. Another possibility is that it was done intentionally."

Chu Huaixu continued on with Wen Xiangli's words, "In that case, I'm more inclined to the latter. Since it's a treasure map, it definitely can't have everything clearly drawn on it. Otherwise, if the map accidentally falls into the hands of someone else, the treasure will be taken away directly."

Wen Xiangli was originally listening to Chu Huaixu carefully, but soon his expression suddenly changed.

"I suddenly had an idea!"

Yu Youning looked at Wen Xiangli curiously, "What do you think?"

Wen Xiangli's expression was extremely serious. "Why are there so many people here, each holding a treasure map? When did treasure maps become so commonplace? And we already know that this treasure map was only recently drawn.

So I think someone must have gotten the original treasure map and followed the instructions on it to come here. But here, that person found nothing.

That person must have tried many methods, but still found nothing. However, he was unwilling to give up so easily, so he thought of another way. Draw more treasure maps and deliberately spread the news so that everyone in the world would have a copy.

Isn't it said that there is strength in numbers? If that person can't do it alone, more people will definitely be able to do it! Maybe more people will really help that person find the treasure! "

Wen Xiangli's speculation left everyone stunned.

Although it seems unbelievable, if you think about it carefully, you will find that what Wen Xiangli said makes a lot of sense.

There happened to be many people from the underworld nearby, so Yu Youning looked directly at them and asked, "How did you get the treasure map?"

These people also heard Wen Xiangli's speculation.

While I was still in shock, I heard Yu Youning's question.

Everyone looked at each other before answering Yu Youning's question.

"Someone sold it to me in secret!"

“I bought it too!”

"How much did you pay for it?"

It seemed as if they had never asked each other this question before.

At this moment, it was as if they had discovered a new world. They all looked at each other curiously and kept asking each other how much money they had spent.

Yu Youning was not in a hurry and listened patiently to their questions.

Soon, I knew from their conversation how much money they had spent.

It is not known whether the person who sold them the treasure map was the same person, but the prices they paid were different.

The cheapest one cost fifty taels of silver.

The most expensive one cost five hundred taels of silver.

And not all those gathered here have bought the treasure map.

There are still some people who probably haven't found their way here yet.

According to a rough estimate, the person who sold the treasure map earned more than 10,000 taels just by selling the treasure map.

Realizing this, all these people in the martial arts world were dumbfounded.

They spent money, time, and even competed with others, but until now, they haven't seen even the shadow of the treasure.

And the person who sold the treasure map has now made a fortune.

No matter for an ordinary citizen or for a chivalrous hero, with more than ten thousand taels, as long as one does not gamble or buy an expensive house, there is absolutely no problem in living the rest of his life in a carefree manner!

Realizing this, some people cursed out loud in hatred.

"Damn it! Don't let me find this guy, or I'll beat him to a pulp!"

"He's cheated me, I think he's tired of living!"

"We've been working our ass off looking for treasure here and haven't found anything, and now someone thinks we're treasure!"

Yu Youning looked at the person who spoke last and corrected him, "You are not treated as a treasure, you are treated as a great enemy."

The little girl's voice was soft, but to the man's ears, it sounded like a knife stabbing directly into his heart.

This is so hurtful!

If anyone else said this, he would retort.

But these words were said by Yu Youning, and they were completely true. The big man could only listen with tears in his eyes.

Huo Qingchen listened from beginning to end, but did not look at those deceived people in the martial arts world. Instead, he looked at Chu Huaixu and Wen Xiangli with burning eyes.

His eyes seemed to be filled with stars, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at them, and people just wanted to subconsciously avoid them.

Wen Xiangli felt a little uncomfortable and frowned.

He always felt that Huo Qingchen's look made him feel uncomfortable.

Chu Huaixu also felt a little uncomfortable, but Chu Huaixu knew Huo Qingchen and knew that Huo Qingchen must have some messed up thoughts at this time.

It was precisely because he understood this that Chu Huaixu didn't ask anything.

But the next moment, Chu Huaixu heard Yu Youning curiously ask, "Achen, why are you looking at them like that?"

Huo Qingchen said this with great seriousness, "I just think that their brains are really useful! I wish they could share some of them with me!"

The moment he heard this, Wen Xiangli dodged backwards and looked at Huo Qingchen with eyes full of fear.

What nonsense is Huo Qingchen talking about!

He actually wants his brain? !

What's the difference between saying such things in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and assassination and treason?

Wen Xiangli subconsciously looked at Chu Huaixu, but saw that Chu Huaixu had a calm expression and did not seem angry at all.

Just when Wen Xiangli was feeling puzzled, he saw Chu Huaixu turning his head and looking at him.

"He's not very smart. He always says irrelevant things. Don't bother with him."

After hearing Chu Huaixu's words, Wen Xiangli understood instantly.

Obviously, this is not the first time Huo Qingchen has said such words, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has become accustomed to it!

This is really...

Wen Xiangli looked at Huo Qingchen, his expression becoming increasingly indescribable.

fortunately!

The Marquis of Zhenbei has another son!

Huo Qingchen had no idea what Wen Xiangli was thinking, and he sighed again at this moment.

Yu Youning walked over and patted Huo Qingchen's shoulder hard.

"Don't lose heart! Even though they can't give you their brains, you still understand the principle of what you eat is what you gain, right? When you go back, eat more brains! Eat more pig brains! You'll definitely be able to make up for it!"

"Why do we eat pig brains?" Huo Qingchen asked subconsciously, "Pigs are so stupid..."

"No!" Yu Youning interrupted Huo Qingchen, his expression becoming very serious. "You're wrong. Pigs are very smart! It's just because of their appearance that they are often misunderstood."

Yu Youning sighed and shook his head at the end of his speech.

Everyone saw her like this and laughed.

Just by hearing these people's laughter, Yu Youning knew that they definitely did not believe what she had just said.

But forget it, she didn't want to explain too much.

Smart people are always lonely and not understood!

Yu Youning put his hands behind his back, tilted his head slightly upwards, and sighed.

Even though he was standing in the crowd, he insisted on appearing lonely.

Master is always like this!

It looks so majestic!

Yu Youning thought to herself and hooked her fingers together even harder. Only in this way could she maintain this position.

The arms are too short!

Seeing Yu Youning like this, Yu Tingwan could no longer hide the smile in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were raised high.

At this moment, Teng Snake finally landed.

Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a hole far away from them, with only a small piece of sky visible.

Yu Youning stared at it for a few seconds and said very seriously, "So this is how the frogs at the bottom of the well see the sky!"

Huo Qingchen nodded, "Then I can understand the frog!"

Everyone, "..."

These two people are simply a pair of funny people!

After being interrupted by Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen, no one was nervous anymore.

Everyone had smiles on their faces and jumped off the Teng Snake happily.

As everyone stood still, Tengshe's body slowly shrank and stood behind Yu Youning.

This place is too far away from the top and the light is very dim.

Someone took out a fire stick, but the effect was minimal.

But soon, someone shouted, "We found the torch!"

Bu Shou Aoren ran over there and came back with a lit torch in a short while.

Someone even sent a few torches over.

Wen Shiyan and Liuyun, who were wearing masks, each took one, and the guards of the Nangong family also took a few.

With these torches, I could finally see the surrounding situation clearly.

There was a lot of rubble around, and there were fresh corpses on or under the rubble.
