The baby jumped down from Meng Qingyin's arms: "Master, let me help you find clues!"

Meng Qingyin: "Okay."

Zizi went to look for it on the other side.

Meng Qingyin held up a torch and began to search carefully.

This hidden mission shouldn't leave no clues at all, right?

But if there were any clues, where would they be?

Meng Qingyin was lost in thought, not missing any unusual signs.

Suddenly, the cub patted the ground with its paws and said, "Master, this stone is so strange."

"What's wrong?" Meng Qingyin ran over immediately.

In the light of the fire, the stone under the cub's claws appeared black, completely different from the color and texture of other stones.

Could this be the clue?

She immediately took out a pickaxe and started smashing the stone, but the black stone was too hard and it actually broke the pickaxe!

Meng Qingyin sent a message to Qin Jiu: "My stone pickaxe is broken. Do you have pickaxes made of other materials?"

Liquor-soaked sorrow: "Yes, I also have a silver pickaxe. But why is your stone pickaxe broken? Have you found anything?"

Meng Meng: "Don't ask so many questions first, just give me the silver pickaxe."

Strong wine drowns sorrows: "Wait, I'll send it to you right away!"

Meng Meng: "No need to go through so much trouble, just trade it to me directly."

But Qin Jiu did not reply.

A few seconds later, Qin Jiu and Chen Leying came over.

Meng Qingyin: "Why are you two here?"

Qin Jiu: "Don't mention it, the stone at the entrance of the cave is very strange, it can't be knocked off with a pickaxe."

Chen Leying: "It seems that the idea of ​​digging the hole is not working. Let's search with you to see if there are any clues."

Meng Qingyin took the silver pickaxe handed to her by Qin Jiu and pointed at the black stone on the ground: "I don't know if this is a clue. This black stone is different from the other stones. I plan to knock it off and see."

Qin Jiu volunteered: "Leave the heavy work to me!"

Meng Qingyin recalled the scene of her smashing the stone with one punch and silently returned the silver pickaxe to her.

Qin Jiu gripped the handle of the silver pickaxe with both hands, raised it high, shouted loudly, and smashed the silver pickaxe heavily on the black stone.

The next moment, the silver pickaxe broke into pieces and the broken silver scattered all over the ground.

This sudden scene stunned the three people and the beast.

The cubs clapped their hands: "That's really good!"

Qin Jiu: "..."

Chen Leying came forward and looked at the black stone carefully, and found that there was no crack on the surface of the black stone.

Meng Qingyin: "Even a silver pickaxe can't break it. What exactly is this black stone?"

The key point is that Black Stone doesn't even have any information, and they can't get any useful information.

Qin Jiu picked up the scattered silver with a distressed look on his face: "This is the silver pickaxe I exchanged for five pieces of glass, and it's broken like this..."

"Oh." Chen Leying sighed and took out a gleaming pickaxe from the system backpack.

I didn't want to take out the golden pickaxe, but now it seems that I have no choice but to take it out.

Meng Qingyin was surprised: "You even have a golden pickaxe?"

Qin Jiu: "If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to make a pickaxe, right? But where did you get the gold?"

Chen Leying threw the golden pickaxe into Qin Jiu's arms: "Stop talking nonsense and keep smashing."

Qin Jiu took the golden hoe with both hands and nodded.

Meng Qingyin leaned over to Chen Leying and whispered, "Did you get the gold by decomposing the gold chest?"

Chen Leying looked at her, neither admitting nor denying.

Seeing her reaction, Meng Qingyin knew what was going on.

On this side, Qin Jiu raised the golden pickaxe high and smashed it hard on the black stone.

"Bang!"

The golden pickaxe was intact, but a crack appeared on the black stone.

Qin Jiu was overjoyed: "The black stone cracked!"

Meng Qingyin: "Just a few more hits and it will open. Come on, Xiaojiu!"

Qin Jiu nodded heavily and swung the golden pickaxe again, "Watch me!"

Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying looked expectant.

Under the two people's fixed gaze, Qin Jiu suddenly put down the golden pick and took out Erguotou from the system backpack, "Wait a moment."

Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying: "..."

Qin Jiu raised his head and took a sip, then picked up the golden pickaxe again and smashed it hard at the black stone.

This time, the black stone shattered into pieces.

Qin Jiu took a deep breath and looked at Meng Qingyin for help: "Boss, please give me some medicine."

Meng Qingyin took out the ointment for bruises and injuries, dipped a cotton swab in it and handed it to her.

Qin Jiu limped to the corner with the ointment.

Meng Qingyin retracted her gaze: "Why did she suddenly stop and drink? She knew that drinking would cause the wound to open, so why did she still drink?"

Chen Leying: "Don't you think her strength is too strong? I suspect that her strength will increase after drinking."

Meng Qingyin nodded: "That's indeed possible. But you're not too surprised?"

Drinking alcohol will make you stronger. Most people would think it is a fairy tale, right?

But Chen Leying was not surprised at all, instead she looked calm.

Unless... she herself had experienced something even more incredible than this, so she accepted Qin Jiu's abnormality so easily.

Chen Leying did not comment.

Meng Qingyin had an idea in her mind. It seemed that she was not the only one who had had an adventure.

Soon, Qin Jiu came back after applying the medicine.

She smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I just had a craving for alcohol. Don't let me get you away from the important stuff. The black stone has been broken. I just saw that there's nothing underneath."

Meng Qingyin and Chen Leying did not point out her words, and the three of them gathered near the black stone.

A hole was smashed here, and the entrance was only big enough for one person to pass through.

There was nothing below, but it was pitch black and nothing could be seen clearly.

Qin Jiu: "It's too dark down there, do you want to go down and take a look?"

Chen Leying took a torch and threw it down through the cave entrance.

The torch hit the ground, illuminating an area of ​​several meters around it.

What followed was the rustling sound of iron chains rubbing against the ground and the sound of objects hitting the stone wall.

Qin Jiu's expression changed: "Is there a monster down there?"

Chen Leying: "Maybe."

Meng Qingyin felt that what was below might not be a monster, but the pangolin that was to be rescued in the hidden mission.

She estimated the distance and found that it was about three meters from the cave entrance to the bottom.

Meng Qingyin found a rope, tied a knot around her waist, and said to Chen Leying and the others, "I'll go down and take a look. You two help me hold the rope."

"You want to go down?" Qin Jiu disagreed, "No, no, no one knows what monster is down there, it's too dangerous!"

Meng Qingyin: "But we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to actively look for a way out. Don't worry, if I find any danger, I will shout, and you two can work together to pull me up. It will be fine."

Having said that, he handed the rope directly to Qin Jiu and Chen Leying, "Let me down."

Qin Jiu and Chen Leying looked at each other, then they held the rope tightly and slowly let Meng Qingyin down.

Zaizai was worried, so he also climbed up the rope and went down with him.
