Chapter 167 Xiaoye, Emperor Ou
Pei Zhenghe came over and knelt down to take a closer look and said, "It looks like ginseng. If you dig it out carefully, you should be sure."
Ye Yufei took out a shovel from her backpack. Old Zhao looked at it and said immediately: "Xiaoye, give me the shovel and I'll dig it. Just lend me this tool later to dig kudzu. It will definitely be faster than using a long knife."
"Okay." Ye Yufei simply threw the shovel to him.
Ye Yufei has always known that she is very lucky, but is it a bit outrageous that she is so lucky?
It was just digging ginseng, but a large underground cave was dug out.
Cao Chenxu glanced at the big cave and then at Pei Zhenghe. Seeing him nodding, he said, "Old Qian, dig the entrance of the cave a little wider. I'll go and call some of the surrounding teammates over first."
Lao Zhao carefully handed a large ginseng plant into Ye Yufei's hands and started digging the hole.
Wu Fang didn't even look at it. He took out his iron ax and cleared away the surrounding weeds and trees.
Pei Zhenghe, who took out a two-meter-long knife as a digging tool, followed Lao Zhao to expand the hole.
When the entrance to the cave, which is as tall as a person and wide, is revealed, although the sunlight can still shine through the layers of leaves to the ground, the brightness is obviously not enough for people to see the situation inside the cave clearly.
Ye Yufei took out the torch and wanted to go in directly, but was stopped by Pei Zhenghe: "Give it to me, I'll go take a look first, you wait."
After taking the torch, Pei Zhenghe's long knife in his right hand had been replaced by a peerless sword.
The entrance to the cave is extremely narrow, and a person can barely pass through it. After walking two meters in, it suddenly opens up.
If the torch can burn normally, it means there is no lack of oxygen inside.
It's just that the cave is pitch black, and the space that a torch can illuminate is really limited.
Ye Yufei popped up her head from behind him, looked around and said, "Brother Pei, insert the torch in your hand into the wall next to you."
While he was talking, he took out another torch from his backpack, walked automatically and consciously to the left of the cave entrance, then took out a sharp dagger, dug a hole in the cave wall, and inserted the torch handle.
After putting torches on the left and right sides of the cave entrance, the visual range is much wider, at least much better than holding torches.
Lao Zhao expanded the entrance of the cave a little more, and it became too difficult to dig out the entrance. The hardness of the outer layer of earth and stone was completely incomparable with that of the inside.
There is no other way, it can only be this big. The earth and stones inside have obviously been reinforced, so there is no need to worry about landslides.
After Wu Fang cleaned up the surrounding area, he looked around, chopped down two more trees, and then entered the cave entrance.
At this time, a torch had been inserted into the inner wall of the cave, illuminating the inside clearly.
The cave is very dry. The problem is that it looks clean inside, which means there is nothing there.
"There is a fork in the road ahead, so let's keep to the right. I'll mark it later." Without much hesitation, Pei Zhenghe directly carved a mark on the cave wall with his sword, and then turned to the right.
Ye Yufei didn't waste any time, and took out another torch while moving to the right.
"How many torches did you bring?"
"There are only 10 in total. It's the 6th now. They're almost used up." Ye Yufei answered and then said in surprise: "Brother Pei, wait a minute, there seems to be a secret room next to it."
"Secret room?"
Pei Zhenghe stopped and looked to the side. The left and right sides of the road where the two of them walked side by side at most were traces of manual excavation, and no secret room could be seen.
Ye Yufei handed her the torch in her hand. She took out Qian Shang and pulled it on the wall behind her. As a result, she cut a hole directly like cutting tofu.
If a stone falls inside, you can still hear the empty echo.
"There is indeed a secret room. Get out of the way and I'll try."
Pei Zhenghe said, took two steps back, gathered strength, directly raised his foot and kicked hard at the gap, and a large gap was opened in the wall.
The secret room was not big, so there was a wooden box placed in the corner. When Pei Zhenghe was about to open the box, Ye Yufei stepped forward and said, "Brother Pei, I am the Emperor of Europe, I will open it."
"Don't worry, let me see if there is any danger." After eliminating the danger, Ye Yufei went straight over and opened the large wooden box that was half a person tall.
[Obtain ginseng seeds ×10, high-grade brocade ×5, treasure map fragment ×1, key ×1]
Trigger talent...twice.
Fortunately, the doubled amount was directly in her backpack.
This way she won't be afraid to open the box in front of other people, as long as the backpack is big enough.
It is said that since she brought the hairpin that can bring good luck, her talent has never been doubled after being triggered.
"Brother Pei, please keep everything."
Pei Zhenghe groaned, and then said: "Okay, let's break up after we go out."
There is nothing left in this small secret room.
Lao Zhao and Wu Fang had also caught up at this time. Wu Fang took a look at the current environment and said, "Captain Pei, Captain Ye checked around the wall outside and found nothing unusual."
Lao Zhao said: "How about Xiao Wu and I go to the left passage to have a look? I think it won't be long before Xiao Cao can bring someone over."
Ye Yufei never interfered with their actions.
"It's just the four of us now. Let's stay together. None of us know what dangers we may encounter later." Pei Zhenghe felt that there was no need to take the risk now.
And to be honest, you may not be able to find anything without Ye Yufei.
Sometimes Ye Yufei can really be used as a mascot.
Ye Yufei pointed to the opposite side: "Kick the opposite side a little further in and take a look."
Lao Zhao patted the wall beside him: "Here?"
"No, go a little further in."
"Here, here?"
Seeing Ye Yufei nodding, he directly gathered his strength and backed up against the mountain. With a bang, the wall behind collapsed.
An unpleasant smell also came out.
I saw many black squeaking rats crawling out of it quickly. Several people entered this small secret room after killing all the escaping rats.
The smell was too bad, so Ye Yufei put on a mask.
He didn't go inside, but Ye Yufei's sharp eyes saw the golden reflection among the dark unknown objects in the corner.
"There seems to be something under that pile of things. Brother Wu, go and take a look."
The space inside was really hard to get out of. Wu Fang picked the nearest stone and poked it with his spear. Then with a cry, he walked in regardless of the stench, and then took the stone that was still a little golden. The small boxes on the edge were moved out.
Ye Yufei jumped away and said to Pei Zhenghe: "Brother Pei, your luck is not low, you can do it yourself."
Pei Zhenghe:......
Wu Fang, who was holding the small box, looked at the three people who were at least two steps away from him: "You don't have to be like this, there might be something good in the box. It also has a lock, and you may need a key to open it."
"Ahem~ Brother Pei has the key."
Pei Zhenghe took a deep look at Ye Yufei: "Xiaoye, the Emperor of Europe."
