People are in the comprehensive tomb, unloading the mountain and stealing the chief

[Lao Hu, what did you see just now? ]

Chen Ziyan did not hesitate and directly asked Hu Bayi, who was the first to notice the abnormality.

Although he reacted quickly just now, Hu Bayi was the first person to discover the problem, and he might have seen more.

That means we are in the water now, otherwise Chen Ziyan would have asked this question just now.

[It looks like a bug. I can't see it clearly, but its general outline looks a bit like a spider.]

Hu Bayi quickly wrote down what he saw on the writing board.

In order to give Chen Ziyan and the others a clearer impression, he also drew a simple graphic on the edge.

Chen Ziyan took a look at the picture drawn by Hu Bayi. Because it was just a glimpse, it was just a vague outline, but one thing was certain, that is, it was a multi-legged arthropod.

No wonder Hu Bayi thought it was a spider. If you only look at the shape, it does look very similar.

[What is the specific size? ]

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan continued to ask.

[It's about the size of a palm.]

Hu Bayi recalled it and gave an uncertain answer.

Because he could only vaguely see an outline, he really couldn't be sure how big the creature in the dark was.

so small?
This was an answer that was somewhat beyond Chen Ziyan's expectations, because he had never thought that there would be creatures of this size here.

He had anticipated that there would not be only deep-sea giant snakes in this underwater space, but in his opinion, even if there were other creatures, they should be large in size.

After all, if you want to support a giant beast, the other members of the ecological chain cannot be too small.

In an instant, Chen Ziyan thought of the second possibility, that is, what Hu Bayi just saw was just a member of the bottom layer of the ecological chain here.

If that's the case, then it makes sense.

Thinking of this possibility, Chen Ziyan felt that they could not just stay here for the sake of safety, but should take the initiative to go out and explore.

Because only in this way can they see the true face of this underwater space and obtain the copper materials they need.

When Chen Ziyan put forward this idea, the others just thought about it for a moment and then agreed to his proposal.

Before they came down this time, they already knew that they would encounter danger, so they couldn't stop moving forward just because of some disturbance.

Even if we cannot fully explore this underwater space, we should at least find some copper, otherwise we will return empty-handed.

After getting the support of others, Chen Ziyan led them and began to explore the surroundings little by little with this temporary shelter as the center.

But he soon discovered the problem. Not only was there always something lurking in the dark and they couldn't find each other, but more importantly, the copper they were looking for was not found in the wreckage of the buildings.

It is said to be copper material, but in fact it is the remaining copperware.

Logically speaking, as a civilization with a high level of development in bronze smelting, even if every household in the ancient Kingdom of Hentian did not have many bronze artifacts, there should not be no bronze artifacts left at all.

But they dug almost three feet deep and didn't even see the shadow of the bronze artifact.

It’s as if the people who once lived in these buildings had never used bronze ware.

After returning empty-handed once again in the building, Chen Ziyan felt that he could not go on like this.

If you come down and find nothing, then it would be a wasted trip.

At this moment, the flower fox standing not far from Chen Ziyan suddenly dived and then swam quickly to the building.

And in the next second, a snake tail as thick as a water tank slammed heavily into the place where the flower fox was previously.

Deep sea giant snake!

The moment he saw the snake's tail, Chen Ziyan recognized the other party's identity. It was the deep-sea giant snake that they had always been afraid of. Not only Chen Ziyan saw the snake's tail, but others also saw this scene after noticing the movement of Huahu.

Almost at the same time, everyone grabbed their weapons, and Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, who were using guns, pulled the trigger at the first moment.

Although the gun is not so useful in water, the target was large enough that it did not cause much impact.

What no one expected was that the bullets did not cause any effective damage when they hit the giant snake, but were directly bounced off by the scales on its body.

Seeing this scene, Chen Ziyan immediately signaled others to go into the nearest building.

Just by looking at its tail, you can tell how big the deep-sea snake is. It definitely won’t be able to enter the building.

Chen Ziyan was responsible for covering the retreat. Although the deep-sea giant snake was not afraid of bullets, he was confident that he could hurt the opponent.

But to his surprise, the snake did not appear at that moment, but simply left after failing to hit him.

To be honest, this is a bit inconsistent with the subconscious impression given by this behemoth.

But this is also a good thing, so Chen Ziyan did not delve into it too deeply.

Soon the group gathered in a building, but they soon discovered that they seemed to have stumbled into a special place by accident.

There was actually a long and narrow passage deep in the building where they were.

Through the lights, you can see that the walls on both sides of the passage are engraved with ancient symbols.

These symbols are twisted and winding, giving people a weird and mysterious feeling.

After seeing the passage and symbols, Chen Ziyan subconsciously looked towards the building.

He felt it was all too much of a coincidence.

It seemed as if the appearance of the giant deep-sea snake just now was to force them here.

Not only Chen Ziyan had this feeling, Hu Bayi and the others also felt that something was wrong, so everyone just watched and no one easily walked into this passage.

After all, this is the site of a sunken city, and the sudden appearance of a relatively complete passage seems wrong no matter how you look at it.

【Don't act rashly. 】

Chen Ziyan thought about it and wrote on the writing board.

Then he pulled Huahu to his side and pretended to communicate with him using gestures, but in fact he was secretly giving orders in his heart.

He wanted to see whether the giant deep-sea snake appeared just to let them in here.

After giving the instructions, Chen Ziyan patted Huahu on the shoulder, and then Huahu slowly walked outside.

As the flower fox moved, everyone stared at its figure.

Chen Ziyan's intention was very obvious, and they could naturally see it.

In fact, this is not only Chen Ziyan’s own doubt, but also the confusion in other people’s minds.

Nothing happened at first, but when the flower fox walked about ten meters away, the thick snake tail came out from the darkness again and hit the flower fox that was walking out.

Following Chen Ziyan's order, the flower fox did not retreat immediately, but tried to break through outwards. However, this time the snake tail did not retreat, but continued to attack it.

"return!"

Seeing this, Chen Ziyan immediately issued a new order to Huahu in his mind.

The flower fox, having received the new order, dodged the attack from the snake's tail and then ran towards them on all fours.

When it came within ten meters of the building, the snake tail that had just been attacking frantically quickly disappeared into the darkness again, as if it had received some order. (End of this chapter)
