Chapter 10 Under the Wall

Found it now?

Chen Qi opened his mouth slightly, a little bit unbelievable, this was a legendary treasure after all.

The little crow also looked confused.

But in the cracks, the captain's words could not be questioned.

Besides, they have to run away at full speed now!

"run!"

The little crow said to Chen Qi that this new attacker was braver than she had imagined.

Under the guidance of the pathfinder, Chen Qi and his companions stepped over the slippery rock walls and dangerous tunnels at an unprecedented speed...

During this time, more and more monsters in the dark saw the new food and gathered around.

This is both a treasure hunt and an escape!

Many people died in the waves of monsters due to lack of physical strength.

Chen Qi was running at full speed, and his concept of time was slightly blurred.

"I can't hold on any longer, Captain!"

"Captain, how long?"

Some of the pirates shouted loudly, and they were already beginning to have obvious difficulty breathing.

Chen Qi was also breathing heavily. If it weren't for the yellow needles, his strength would have been exhausted long ago.

After holding on for who knows how long, the team's speed finally slowed down.

The people at the front all slowed down their pace at the same time.

arrive!

Chen Qi's eyes widened and he slowly slowed down his pace.

What appeared in front of them was a huge stone door full of cracks.

The traces of age are like a temple buried deep in a cave, having experienced the baptism of countless years.

Chen Qi looked inside and could vaguely see a broken stone staircase and a huge wall.

Even though there were still a large number of monsters behind him, Captain Black Eyes still stopped.

“We’re finally here…”

He smiled, then suddenly grabbed Pathfinder by the collar and stared into his eyes!

Before entering the stone gate, he had to confirm something.

Monsters of the deep sea bring terror and can drive humans insane.

By observing the eyes, you can easily determine whether the other person is mentally ill or is being controlled by something strange.

The captain asked the pathfinder like a devil:

"Have you been inside? Is it safe? By the way, are you satisfied with the gold coins I gave you yesterday?"

Pathfinder raised his head and bared his teeth:

“I stayed at the entrance for a while, there was no danger, and, Captain, I did not receive the reward I deserved yesterday!

Not only that, you still owe me five gold coins!"

This captain is quite cautious... Chen Qi sighed.

However, there are monsters chasing them, so they may only be able to step into the room behind this stone door.

They had no choice.

"Yes, I do still owe you some money."

The black-eyed captain grinned, put the Pathfinder down, gripped the black knife tightly, and stepped through the stone door.

Chen Qi also followed the little crow, passed through the stone door and entered a new cave.

The stone door was huge, with a door handle and a push-button latch.

After entering, Chen Qi immediately turned around and, together with the pirates, exerted his muscles to close the stone door to stop the monster behind him.

Boom! Boom!

The timing was just right. Not long after it was closed, the monster outside violently slammed the stone door.

"Without a little time, they shouldn't be able to get in."

Chen Qi observed the stone gate.

Although there are many cracks on it, the material of this stone door is special and should be able to hold out for a while.

But it was only for a while...

Chen Qi brushed the dust off his hands. He could feel the enthusiastic breath of the sea beasts outside through the cracks.

As the stone door closed, voices of fear broke out among the pirates.

"My hand, my hand is bleeding..."

"I have made enough money. After I make this, I will go back to town and buy my woman back from the gang."

"Damn it... I want to lie on big sis's lap and breasts."

"I survived! I survived, I'm still alive!"

"You are a bunch of good-for-nothings. Can you please have some courage? Look at the new recruits brought by the ship's doctor. They are braver than you."

During this brief period of safety, the breathless pirates sat down and celebrated their survival.

Although the time was not long, there is no doubt that they had just experienced a life-and-death escape!

Being chased by those monsters all the way, even the pirates began to lose control of their emotions.

Some people looked at Chen Qi. The level of calmness he displayed even surpassed that of these veterans.

The little crow glanced at Chen Qi and said calmly:

"You can cry and make a scene if you want, but you have to wait until we get back to the ship. Do you understand?"

Got it... Chen Qi stretched his muscles, his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

What an exhilarating long-distance run!

Unlike the pirates, he did not feel any fear. Instead, he felt a little joy and a sense of relief after exercise.

After all, those sea beasts are not monsters in its eyes.

"Don't be afraid, we are safe, for now."

The little crow comforted her again and shook her head. Even as a person who was obsessed with the deep sea, she could still feel the fear of the biological instinct in her body.

"Um……"

Chen Qi nodded, raised his head, and began to observe the place in front of him carefully.

This is more of an altar than a temple.

In front of them was a large staircase leading up to a higher place.

There is an extremely conspicuous, man-made crack on the ground near the stairs.

The stairs are about twenty meters high, and at the top is a huge wall.

On the wall, there are densely packed, wave-like "一" patterns carved.

And beneath the wall—

Chen Qi's pupils suddenly contracted.

A blue box that looked quite old was placed just below the wall.

There is no doubt that that is the ultimate purpose of their journey to enlightenment!

Treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter!

Everyone looked up, attracted by the green treasure.

“We found it!”

"goddess!"

"Treasure! Gold, wealth, and gifts!"

At this moment, the pirates who had experienced a long voyage and life-and-death adventures could not help but make excited noises.

The little crow also smiled, with an expression of disbelief:

"It actually exists..."

The hand of the Black Eyed Captain holding the knife could not help but tremble:

"Yes, it actually exists..."

In fact, Captain Blackeye hid something very important from everyone, which was the authenticity of his intelligence.

There are many copies of the Deep Sea Hunter's Treasure, but with the baptism of time, most of the rumors about this treasure are false.

According to the information he got from his superiors, there are as many as seventy places where the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure may be buried!

This sea monster cave is just one of the possibilities.

And their Sawshark is just an inconspicuous ship among the many ships searching for the treasure of the Deep Sea Hunter!

And they are just gamblers trying their luck.

Captain Black Eyes had dragged them into this life-and-death gamble without authorization.

But they never expected that this treasure actually existed! And it was found by the Sawshark!

The deep-sea treasure on the stairs seemed to have infinite magic, attracting everyone present.

“Ah~”

The dark-eyed captain let out a delicious gasp and took a few steps forward obsessively.

Chen Qi was not attracted but continued to observe his surroundings.

The distortion of this crack is 0%, and the place is not difficult to find.

This also means that it is very likely that there were adventurers who came here before them, but they were unable to obtain the hunter's treasure.

This treasure is definitely not something that can be easily obtained by simply stepping over the stairs.

Chen Qi squatted down and looked at the ground.

There is a very conspicuous crack line on the ground.

This line is...

Chen Qi looked puzzled, as he vaguely heard a slight sound of movement.

Looking around the walls, you can still see some tiny white bones.

Something is wrong...Chen Qi gently stroked the ground:

"Sister Crow, this seems to be a warning line. We'd better not cross it."

"Um?"

The little crow lowered his head and noticed that there was such a clear line on the ground.

This line looks like it was cut with a knife and is particularly conspicuous.

When everyone heard Chen Qi's words, they immediately took a few steps back.

Now, everyone desires the treasure on the stairs, but no one dares to act rashly!

Boom! Boom!

Behind them, the sound of sea beasts knocking on the stone door came again!

Being attacked from two sides... Chen Qi sighed.

Obviously, they couldn't stay in this place for too long.

Captain Black Eyes held the knife. As the highest-ranking person in the team, he had to stand up at this time.

Moreover, although the Sawshark has a small number of people, it is full of talented people.

Although Chen Qi didn't pay much attention, there are quite a few talented people in this team.

The black-eyed captain said to the third-rate scholar who had studied history in the team:

"Scholar, can you decipher the pattern on the wall?"

There are also scholars... Chen Qi was slightly surprised.

Me? The scholar was startled, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, carefully observed the densely packed "one" patterns on the wall, and coughed twice:

"Uh-huh,

These patterns are obviously symbols of waves, so dense that they represent people's most primitive awe of the sea.

Appearing here must be a test of our respect for the sea."

"Test our respect for the sea..."

Captain Black Eyes scratched his head, totally at a loss as to what to do.

He could only glance at the Pathfinder:

"Are you sure?"

This kind of task of breaking down mechanisms is often the responsibility of this pathfinder.

The Pathfinder looked at the crack on the ground and smiled confidently:

“Leave it to me, I will succeed!

After all, I am a professional!"

Hiss——Hearing this, Chen Qi frowned immediately.

The Pathfinder expertly picked up a large rock from the ground and threw it over the crevasse warning line.

The stone rolled slowly across the crack line and nothing happened.

The pathfinder followed the route where the stone had rolled, walked carefully, and crossed the crack line.

"There is no ground mechanism—"

Two seconds after crossing the warning line, Pathfinder smiled knowingly.

boom!

The next moment after he smiled, a huge tentacle appeared from the wall above his head at an unimaginable speed, and then slapped it lightly.

call out!

Chen Qi only heard a sound of breaking air, and the Pathfinder was knocked against the wall. His body was almost shattered and he was bleeding profusely. He was unable to get up again!

That’s it… Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked.

This pirate who is exploring the way is a transcendent who specializes in agility, and he is also cautious enough!

The speed of the attack just now was beyond the ability of ordinary people to react to.

In this critical situation, there was no time to mourn for the Pathfinder, and everyone raised their heads at the same time.

On that huge wall, the densely packed "one" pattern began to move, revealing a scarlet color like ink.

The many 'ones' slowly opened.

At this moment, the pirates realized that it was not a wave pattern carved by the ancients at all, but just closed eyes!

It woke up...

As it slowly woke up, hundreds of huge scarlet eyes and a wall of bloody tentacles looked down at everyone present from that unreachable height.

Chen Qi swallowed a mouthful of water unconsciously.

This is what his revelation predicted.

Under the Scarlet Eye is where the Deep Sea Hunter's treasure lies.
