Chapter 277 Xiao Tengteng, help!
Seeing that Tuoba Ruoli's face was just ashen but she didn't say anything else, the group of people finally withdrew their gaze with satisfaction and looked around.
It can be seen that they all hold treasure maps in their hands.
As a man of the world, even if his martial arts skills are not very good, he will definitely have no problem climbing a tree.
Soon, several people jumped onto the tree.
But not long after, these people jumped down from the trees again and shook their heads.
"Forget about the mountains, I can't even see a rock. Could this treasure map be fake?"
"How could the treasure map be fake? Maybe we're looking in the wrong place! Why don't we look somewhere else?"
"Don't just talk! Why don't you go look somewhere else? Why are you still standing there?"
The person being scolded could only stare with his eyes wide open, angry but not daring to say anything.
Of course he knew he was in the right place.
It is possible that one is looking in the wrong place.
But there were so many of them, coming from different directions, and they all decided to be here in the end. How could they have made a mistake?
Unless....what's drawn on this picture is wrong.
But even with such doubts, everyone stood firmly where they were, with no intention of leaving.
What if there is a secret hidden in this treasure map or here, and they haven’t discovered it yet?
If you leave at this time, you might miss the treasure!
No one wanted to leave, and some even sat down on the ground.
Anyway, I can’t figure out what to do for the time being, so I might as well take a rest here!
Yu Youning was also tired of standing.
But she didn't sit down directly on the ground. Instead, she looked around and finally chose the largest and thickest tree nearby.
The trunk of this tree is like a human hand, with the palm facing up, and five thick branches extending in different directions. The palm-like area in the middle is just right for sitting.
Yu Youning tapped her toes lightly and flew up. The next moment, she landed directly on a tree and sat down.
Seeing that the others hadn't caught up, Yu Youning waved at them, "Come on, it's very comfortable to sit on it, and you can see far from where you sit!"
Huo Qingchen was intrigued and climbed up immediately without any hesitation.
Huo Qingchen was born with supernatural powers, and with the training during this period, his martial arts skills have become even more powerful.
But Qinggong is different from martial arts.
Huo Qingchen has not made much progress in his lightness skills over such a long time.
But it's enough for climbing a tree.
After reaching the tree, Huo Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and slapped it. "This tree is really strong and sturdy. It must have been hundreds of years old. I have never seen such a strong tree!"
As he spoke, he kept slapping the tree with his hands.
As he moved, the tree trunk shook violently, as if it might collapse at any time and fall apart.
Yu Youning frowned, "Can you please stop hitting me? If you hit the tree, it will break and we will all fall down."
Huo Qingchen withdrew his hand embarrassedly, "I didn't mean it, I just -"
Before he could finish his words, the tree suddenly made a crackling sound, as if it was about to break.
As soon as Yu Youning stood up, he saw that the five branches were all broken and the thick trunk was also cracked.
Huo Qingchen was frightened by this scene. "What...what's going on? This has nothing to do with me, right? I didn't use much strength just now!"
Although he said this, no one present believed it.
Didn't use much effort?
How could that tree break!
This clearly shows that he is using all his strength!
Huo Qingchen wanted to continue explaining, but at this moment he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the tree!
There is actually a stone tablet under this tree.
In other words, when the tree grew, it wrapped the stone tablet.
But how is this possible?
The tree grows straight upwards and is not hollow inside. How could it be possible that as it grows it would wrap around a stone tablet?
Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen both jumped down from the tree and pulled apart the remaining trunks.
When those people from the martial arts world saw their actions, they felt strange, but soon they burst into laughter.
In their opinion, Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen were just children who were angry and wanted to settle the score with the tree!
But soon, they couldn't laugh anymore.
They saw Yu Tingwan and the others all walking over with serious expressions.
Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen dismantled the tree trunk into pieces, and the stone tablet inside was finally revealed.
"What's this?"
"A stone tablet?"
"Why is there a stone tablet inside the tree?"
The people in the martial arts world were talking at once and gathered around.
Shangguan Xianrui, Tuoba Ruoli and others also came over at this time.
Almost in an instant, Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen were surrounded, with no escape possible.
However, Yu Youning is not interested in seeing these people now.
She was now looking at the stone tablet in front of her with curiosity.
Perhaps because it has been hidden in the tree, this stone tablet looks quite new, with no signs of wind and rain, and the writing on it is also very clear.
There aren't many words on it, and most of them are nonsense.
Only one sentence caught everyone's attention - the place where the treasure is hidden.
These four short words made many people breathe faster.
Especially those who just suggested leaving and looking somewhere else, their heartbeats were faster than others.
You know, they almost went to look somewhere else!
If I had really left just now, I would have missed the treasure!
These people were all rejoicing in their hearts, and their eyes became more and more excited.
Yu Youning didn't know what they were thinking. She was walking around the stone tablet.
I turned around and saw nothing.
Someone suggested, "Maybe the treasure is buried under here!"
Someone else immediately chimed in, "That's right! The treasure might really be hidden down there! Why don't we dig it out together first? After we dig it out, we can use our own abilities to snatch the treasure away, how about that?"
Listening to what these people said, it seems that they regard the treasure as something!
Yu Youning subconsciously looked at Yu Tingwan, and seeing Yu Tingwan nodded slightly, he did not stop him. He pulled Huo Qingchen with him and retreated to Chu Huaixu's side, standing on his left and right.
This has become a habit for the two of them.
Chu Huaixu doesn't know martial arts, so as long as the three of them stand together, they must protect Chu Huaixu in the middle.
When those people saw Yu Youning and Huo Qingchen move aside, they took out their weapons and started digging the soil around the stone tablet.
But they dug very deep and didn't find the treasure. Instead, the stone tablet was even stranger.
It turned out that it was not a short stone tablet, but rather very long.
What was just exposed outside was only a small section, and it became longer and longer as you dug deeper.
And judging from the current situation, even if we continue digging deeper, it probably won't be of any use.
It is currently impossible to tell how long this stone tablet is.
A burly man was a little annoyed and smashed the stone tablet hard with the mace in his hand.
"God damn it, is this some bastard really teasing us?"
As the mace hit the stone tablet hard, it began to shake.
Then, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.
The shaking became more and more intense, as if the whole mountain was about to collapse.
"You fat bastard, what on earth have you done!"
"Are you trying to kill us?"
"Stop right there, I'll chop you fat ass into eight pieces!"
The crowd cursed one after another.
The big man also looked flustered and didn't understand what was going on.
He wanted to explain, but his body was shaking more and more violently. When he opened his mouth, he bit his tongue and his mouth was instantly filled with the smell of blood.
Yu Youning held Chu Huaixu's hand tightly, "A Xu, don't let go."
As she spoke, she thought of Wen Xiangli again.
He is not good at civil service and martial arts!
Yu Youning hurriedly turned around to look for Wen Xiangli, only to see that Yu Tingwan had already grabbed Wen Xiangli at some point.
Seeing this, Yu Youning finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The earth shook more and more violently, and finally made a loud bang.
The ground beneath my feet collapsed.
All of them fell down uncontrollably.
Yu Youning held onto Chu Huaixu's hand tightly, calling out to Tengshe, "Little Teng Teng, help me!"
Tengshe's body suddenly expanded, not only catching Yu Youning and the others, but also catching those people from the martial arts world.
With the help of Tengshe, they avoided falling.
But this still makes many people feel scared and pale.
In their fear, even the sudden appearance of Teng Snake did not shock them too much.
Someone looked around and soon discovered that Tengshe did not catch the people from Xiliang or the Shangguan family.
These people from the underworld looked at each other in confusion.
"That Xiliang princess, if she fell down like that, wouldn't she die?"
"Even if I don't die from the fall, I'll be crushed to death by the rocks!"
"She died here. If Xiliang demands an explanation, will they hold a grudge against us as well?"
"So what if she holds a grudge? We didn't mean to harm her. She came here looking for the treasure on her own! Doesn't she know that life and death are determined by fate?"
Listening to their conversation, Yu Tingwan's eyes softened when he looked at them.
These people...are pretty clear-headed.
There is no shirking of responsibility at this time.
If they dare to say anything about passing the buck, Tengshe will just throw them all down!
After waiting for a while, the rumbling sound below finally stopped, and the stirred smoke gradually dissipated.
Yu Youning patted Tengshe's body and said, "Little Tengteng, let's go down and take a look!"
She didn't believe that with Qiongqi around, Tuoba Ruoli would die here.
When those gangsters heard that they could go down, they became excited again.
They always have a hunch that the treasure might be down there!
