Chapter 256 Tricky
"What did you say?" Jack said in disbelief, "Is there an amethyst mine in there?! There's no Nether Dragon Kun?!"
Bai Yaoyao nodded, "Yes! The shadow scale beasts you mentioned do exist, but they were attracted and gathered here artificially. I really didn't see the Nether Dragon Kun."
"How could it be!" Luna was also puzzled. She looked at Jack, whose face was very ugly, and whispered, "Jack, wasn't this news brought back by Uncle Haiyu?"
Jack's face was gloomy. Yes! This news was brought back by Uncle Haiyu, my father's best brother!
Five years ago, he invited his father to go on an adventure, but his father never came back! Uncle Hai Yu, who was seriously injured, brought his father's relics, the blood-stained collar and half of the phantom crystal, and gave them to him after returning.
It is said that they encountered the Nether Dragon Kun in the Nether Mist Reef, and his father was seriously injured by the Nether Dragon Kun, and died on the way to escape. Later, the two were attacked by the Shadow Scale Beast. Uncle Hai Yu had no choice but to bury his father's body in a secret cave.
Over the years, he had gone in and out of here several times just to bring back his father's body.
But Immortal Bai said that there was no Nether Dragon Kun in there at all! And those Shadow Scale Beasts seemed to be attracted and raised by humans!
And there is also an amethyst mine!
As outsiders, Bai Xianshi and his companions naturally didn't know much, but he knew that the mineral deposits in the secret realm of Mirage Sea were all mined by the clan!
There is such a large and precious amethyst mine hidden here, and there are people working inside, but the clan knows nothing about it and has never heard of it!
There is no trick here, no one would believe it if I told them!
Jack lowered his head, and there seemed to be a storm in his eyes. What role did Uncle Hai Yu play in this?
Seeing the shocked Luna and Jack in deep thought, Chen Yingjie couldn't help but think, it seems that Miss Bai has discovered a secret!
He narrowed his eyes and broke the silence.
"It's getting late, let's go get the stuff first before we talk about anything else!"
"Right!" Bai Yaoyao glanced at Jack and agreed, "Jack, the auction is tomorrow. No matter what, we must try our best to get back. If you want to find out what's going on, I can spare some time to go with you again after the auction is over!"
Jack raised his head, his eyes red, and nodded towards Bai Yaoyao gratefully.
"I...I'll lead the way!"
Several people rushed towards the sea on the right.
After about an hour, the group arrived at the destination marked by Shopkeeper Canglan in a somewhat embarrassed manner.
Lu Bai looked at Bai Yaoyao with a very strange look, while Jack and Luna looked at Bai Yaoyao with even greater astonishment.
Bai Yaoyao knew what the three were shocked about.
They were just caught off guard and attacked by three huge tiger sharks. Except for Lu Bai who had some fighting ability, the others in their group could be said to be weaklings.
Chen Yingjie originally wanted to avoid fighting and escape, but who knew that these tiger sharks seemed to have recognized them and chased them relentlessly.
The people behind were chased to an underwater cliff in a panic, and Bai Yaoyao had no choice but to step forward.
Then Jack Luna and Lu Bai watched Bai Yaoyao approach the ferocious tiger sharks leisurely, and with a wave of his hand, he cleaned them up! Not even a bone residue was left.
Such means! How could it not be shocking!
Lu Bai was surprised and shouted, if he had known that Senior Sister Bai was so capable, he would not have rushed forward like a fool to deal with those sea beasts along the way.
What else can Bai Yaoyao say except smile bitterly!
She brushed the loose hair on her forehead with her hand, avoided the three people's fiery gazes, and sighed.
Bai Yaoyao looked around. The road here was flat and almost entirely covered with seabed mud. The only protruding thing was a pile of rocks.
Shopkeeper Canglan once said that he put his things in an underwater cave, which was where he lived temporarily when he was young.
The only thing in front of us that could be a cave is the pile of rocks.
However, the size of this pile of rocks is not small, and each stone is almost three meters in size. It is impossible to move it by manpower.
Fortunately, the location of the mechanism was marked at the bottom of the route map given by Shopkeeper Canglan. Five grooves half-buried in the mud were evenly distributed in five directions of the pile of rocks. Each groove mechanism was at least two to three meters apart.
Bai Yaoyao suddenly understood. No wonder the shopkeeper Canglan said that five people were required to open it. However, this old man was really weird.
Since this was where he used to live and he set up the mechanism like this, how could he come back alone!
But now is not the time to think about these things. The most urgent task is to find the mechanism ball to be placed in the groove.
Over the years, even the shopkeeper Canglan himself had forgotten where he had thrown the mechanical balls, but he said they must be nearby.
"Hey! Well, we are still missing five mechanical balls. Let's all search around. The mechanical balls are stone balls about the size of a human head. Please search carefully."
"Okay!" Everyone responded in unison and began to search everywhere.
Over the years, the scene here has changed a lot. Not only is there dense seaweed, but the silt on the seabed has also accumulated very deep. If you step on it, it will directly submerge your knees. This has undoubtedly added a lot of trouble to everyone's journey to find the ball.
Bai Yaoyao took the route map given by Shopkeeper Canglan and shuttled between piles of rocks and mud, comparing the surrounding environment from time to time.
Suddenly, she saw a half-elliptical bulge in the mud next to a huge rock. She squatted down and dug out the mud next to the bulge. After a while, a round stone ball with a rough surface appeared.
"We found one!" Bai Yaoyao was delighted and quickly told everyone loudly, "These stone balls may be buried in the mud. It seems that we have to conduct a carpet search!"
The five people bent over and groped in the mud until their backs could hardly straighten up, and then the five mechanical balls were finally found.
Bai Yaoyao directed everyone to place the pattern on the stone ball in line with the pattern on the groove, and several people stood in their positions.
"One, two, three! Go!"
At a command, several people rotated the stone balls in their hands 180 degrees counterclockwise.
"Boom!"
A huge noise came from the pile of rocks, accompanied by flying stone chips and mud, and the scene suddenly became turbid.
When the water in front of them became clear, everyone discovered that a gap had appeared on the shapeless pile of rocks, large enough for two people to pass through.
Bai Yaoyao and the others looked at it together, and saw that the gap was pitch black, as if there was a giant beast crawling with its mouth wide open, ready to devour someone.
"Go...go in?" Lu Bai looked at the darkness and swallowed, with undisguised fear in his eyes.
Oh my god, he has been afraid of the dark since he was a child!
