"Mine, mine...hahaha!"
Just as the two girls were staring at the huge crystal in a daze, Qin Jicheng, who was not far away, seemed to have discovered some new treasure, and his almost crazy laughter once again reached the ears of Shen Keyin and Yin Yichen.
"That kid is over there, let's see where he runs this time!"
When Yin Yichen heard Qin Jicheng's voice, she was so excited that she wanted to chase him immediately. However, when she turned around and looked around, she was suddenly dumbfounded.
"Keyin, why are there so many forked roads? Where did we just come out from?"
"Huh!? This... I don't know. It seems to be here... No, it seems to be over there..."
The two girls had originally focused their attention on the enormous crystal mine and had not even looked up to see what was happening around them. When they looked up again, they were shocked to find that this huge crystal mine was surrounded by countless almost identical deep cave entrances, like the doors to a maze.
Now the two girls were a little anxious, and their original enthusiasm for discovering the crystal mine disappeared in an instant.
"How about we go there?"
Shen Keyin stood there, frowning and looking around, and finally pointed to the road she thought was most likely the way they came from.
"Then there, let's go... let's go and take a look."
Yin Yichen looked around, lost, and agreed casually.
"Keyin, Yichen!"
Just when the two women were about to find a hole to crawl into, Lu Xuan arrived in time.
"Handsome boy, you're here!"
Seeing Lu Xuan emerging from the cave behind them, the two girls turned around at the same time.
"Lu Xuan, it's a good thing you came, otherwise we would have almost lost our way back."
When Shen Keyin saw Lu Xuan appear, she trotted over excitedly.
"This is... a crystal? So big? Stop running around, let's hurry back."
Lu Xuan was also shocked by the large crystal in front of him. After just a quick glance, he became even more worried about this place. It felt like this cave had a magical power that could eat away at human nature...
And... the most terrifying thing is that this underground palace is much, much larger than he had imagined.
"Handsome boy, aren't you going to dig for treasure? That guy named Qin seems to have found another great treasure. He took all the good stuff away. What a pity."
When she saw Lu Xuan, Yin Yichen's previous worries instantly disappeared. Without these worries, she naturally thought of her treasure again.
"Don't worry about him. It's not a good place to stay for long. Besides, it's getting late. We have to go back quickly."
Lu Xuan naturally would not agree to go to a deeper cave with the two girls to look for treasure. The treasures found in the bags of his group were already priceless. If they wanted to collect all the treasures in the cave, they would have no chance of reaching the helicopter on time.
As for Qin Jianli, if he wants to stay with these treasures for the rest of his life, then let him do it.
Human greed is endless, and it will eat away at your original intention bit by bit.
"Ah? You're not looking anymore? There are still so many unexplored caves here. Maybe there are more valuable things in them? You don't want to keep all these treasures?"
Yin Yichen was obviously still reluctant to part with these big treasures.
"Yichen, Lu Xuan is right. We have to go out to sea after daybreak and rush to the offshore island. Otherwise, if we miss the helicopter, no one will come to pick us up. The treasures we have now are enough..."
After hearing what Lu Xuan said, Shen Keyin regained some of her sanity and touched the backpack that was already full after she and Yin Yichen worked hard.
"Ah? Is this all you need? There must be a lot more in there. Don't you want any of it? At the very least, with this huge crystal, we should at least take some back, right?"
Seeing Chen Keyin following Lu Xuan and turning to leave, Yin Yichen was still a little concerned about the big crystal in front of her, and she wanted to smash a piece and take it away.
"It's getting late, Yichen, let's go. We still need to find a way. We are too far away from the entrance now."
Lu Xuan pulled the girl over and pointed in the direction of return with a serious expression.
"Ah?...Have we walked very far? It seems so...I almost forgot which entrance we came from. Fortunately, you are here, Lu Xuan."
Shen Keyin carefully recalled what happened just now, and now she felt a little scared.
Just now, he and Yin Yichen were only focused on finding the treasure and tracking Qin Jianli, and they didn't consider whether they would get lost.
"It's all that Qin guy's fault... Ugh..."
Miss Yin is still "obsessed" with Qin Jicheng.
"Okay, you two, don't do anything now. Just follow me. Got it?"
Lu Xuan walked in front and turned back to give instructions again and again, for fear that the two girls would be attracted by some treasure on the way back.
"Then Lu Xuan...with so many forked roads, can we still find our way back?"
At this moment, Shen Keyin felt dizzy when she thought about the more than a dozen forks in the road. She grabbed Lu Xuan's arm worriedly.
"I've marked the rest of the road. Look at the small piece of hemp rope on the ground. Just follow it and you'll be able to meet up with Leng Mengyao and the other two."
Lu Xuan was holding one of the beauties in each hand and walking back with them tightly.
"Wow, handsome boy, how are you so smart? Ke Yin, look at that stone over there, it's purple, it must be valuable."
Miss Yin's body moved with Lu Xuan, but her mind was still thinking about the dazzling array of gems. If she hadn't been held tightly by Lu Xuan at this moment, I'm afraid this girl would have gone treasure digging again.
"Follow me, you can't go anywhere!"
Only after Lu Xuan scolded her harshly did Yin Yichen dare to act rashly again.
"Lu Xuan...we are here!"
After passing through countless forks in the road, the three of them finally returned to where Leng Mengyao was.
Leng Mengyao and the other two were very worried about Lu Xuan and the other two, but since Lu Xuan had repeatedly told them not to leave no matter what, Leng Mengyao, Taylor and Aphrodite did not dare to move at all.
At this time, they finally saw Lu Xuan and the other two returning safely, and the three of them finally put their minds at ease.
"Sister Yichen, Sister Keyin, you're finally back. You worried us so much. Speaking of which, that man?..."
When Taylor saw that six of the seven people had arrived, he suddenly thought of Qin Jicheng again.
"I didn't see it... There's a big crystal mine there, and there are many forked roads around it. I'm afraid that kid has gone too far..."
"Boom..."
Just when everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go home, a huge noise suddenly came from deep in the cave, and then the entire cave seemed to shake violently.
"Is this... an earthquake?... Run!"
Feeling such a loud commotion, Lu Xuan and the others instinctively ran forward...
