The boss of a foreign organization called the police, claiming that he was defrauded by me

Meng Yu didn't hesitate at all. He immediately asked the people around him to step back and then pressed the button.

Boom!
The tightly closed stone door slowly opened, and the surroundings were suddenly filled with smoke, and even the earth began to tremble slightly.

Yang Xia felt the video screen was shaking, and knew that the door had been opened.

In fact, it is no wonder that they couldn’t find it before. Generally, for stone doors like this, people tend to focus their attention on the concave parts of the stone door.

I thought I had to find something suitable to fill it in order to open this door.

But in fact, this is not the case. As long as you find the location of the button, you can easily open the door and it doesn’t take much time at all.

"Since the door is open, you may go in. But be careful. There may be traps and traps inside. You must be careful and don't be careless."

Yang Xia couldn't see clearly what was going on inside, but his intuition told him that it wasn't simple.

Caves like this are usually equipped with lasers and various traps. If outsiders are not careful, they may die here.

I just don’t know if Meng Yu and his team can avoid all the traps set in the cave.

Yang Xia is tied up now, so he can't take care of them. He can only hope that they will be lucky.

"Okay, my king. I will lead my men to act carefully and will never let you down."

Meng Yu solemnly promised that he would do his best to protect everyone around him.

He will try to bring back as many people as he brought out.

"Don't be stubborn when encountering things. Protecting yourself is the most important thing. If there is any situation, remember to call me first. Don't act rashly there."

Yang Xia was worried that they would act on their own, causing serious casualties, and it would be too late to regret.

After all, there is no medicine for regret in this world.

That's why he repeatedly reminded them to report to him immediately if they encountered any problems.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Xia let out a long sigh.

Thinking that the situation in Mengyin was similar, he made another video call to Mengyin.

Mengyin was very surprised and delighted when he received a call from Yang Xia.

"Your Majesty, what do you want me to do?" Meng Yin asked respectfully.

"We have already set off for Island X. Don't act rashly over there."

Yang Xia couldn't help but remind him, "If there's anything, we can discuss it slowly when I get there. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

……

After the door of the tomb was opened, Meng Yu and his men walked in.

When they first entered, they could barely see the road clearly, but halfway through, the light inside became extremely dim, almost pitch dark.

"Everyone, be careful, cheer up, and watch your step."

Meng Yu took the lead and walked in front. If there was any danger, he would bear it alone, so at least he could protect the people behind him.

Gu Xiaowu followed behind him and continued forward with the help of the light from his cell phone.

They had not gone far when they heard a faint sound coming from the front.

Immediately afterwards, a gust of cold wind blew out, and Meng Yu immediately shouted to the people behind him: "Hurry up and squat down with your head in your hands!"

After hearing what he said, the big guy immediately put his hands on his head and quickly squatted on the ground.

A group of bats flew over their heads, their eyes emitting a strange green light, which looked creepy.

In this narrow cave, in addition to the bats living here, there are also crawling insects, and you will get bitten if you are not careful.

"hiss……"

As soon as Gu Xiaowu stood up, he took a breath of cold air.

He felt a sharp pain in his arm, and then the flesh began to swell.

With the help of the light, he saw a thumb-sized centipede, which, after biting him, crawled directly into the gap next to it.

"Take out all the coats in your bag and put them on."

Meng Yu instructed the people behind him.

Originally they took off their coats to make it easier to move.

But now it seems better to put on the coat.

After all, the insects and poisonous things inside are hidden in invisible corners, and it would be troublesome if you get bitten by them without paying attention.

Meng Yu didn't dare to let the people around him take risks. Even though wearing a coat would make their movements more clumsy and slow down their speed, at least their lives could be guaranteed to be safe and they wouldn't have to worry.

After hearing what that person said, everyone behind him hurriedly put on their coats.

Although in this narrow cave, it would be very clumsy to move around with a coat on.

However, Gu Xiaowu had been bitten by the centipede, which made everyone feel a little scared, so without any hesitation, they quickly wrapped themselves tightly.

"How is your wound?" With the help of the faint light, Meng Yu saw that the color of the place where Gu Xiaowu was bitten had changed.

Centipedes are poisonous, but not very poisonous, and the toxicity varies from person to person. Some people may experience dizziness, nausea, etc. after being bitten, while others may only feel pain for a short while after being bitten, and even if they don't take medicine, there will be no major problems.

"I feel fine, it just hurts a little, nothing serious."

Gu Xiaowu put on his clothes quickly. He was so focused on the situation under his feet that he didn't notice the insects next to him.

The centipede bite was a lesson for everyone and a wake-up call for everyone. Thinking about it this way, the bite was worth it.

"If you feel unwell, just go back the way you came and wait for us outside the cave." Meng Yu was worried that if Gu Xiaowu stayed here, the situation would only get worse.

It would be better to let him go out first, and they continue to go inside, and then return along the same route after completing the task. This is also feasible.

Gu Xiaowu shook his head and said firmly that he must go in with everyone.

They are a team, and he doesn't want to be a deserter in this matter. It's not in his style.

"I'll go in with you. It's just a small centipede. A bite won't kill you. The pain will go away after a while."

Gu Xiaowu didn't even bother to treat the wound. In his opinion, the centipede's venom was not that strong and there was no need to make a fuss about it.

"That's fine, but if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you must tell me right away, don't just pretend."

Meng Yu was still very concerned about Gu Xiaowu's situation. After making sure that everyone was fine, he led the team to move forward.

However, he was extra careful on the following journey. When they first set out, the road was dry, but after walking a distance, it became wet underfoot.

Soon the water was above their calves, and the further they went in, the deeper the water became.

At this time, someone in the back asked a question: "I remember we just passed a fork in the road. Should we take that road?"

After they were scared by the bats, they just walked straight this way, but there was actually another way on the left.

"The water on this road is getting deeper and deeper. It might be a pond. There might be no road left when we get to the front."

Another person also questioned that if you continue to walk on the road knowing that it is a dead end, it will be a waste of energy. "Let's turn back. There will definitely be no way forward."

one of them said.

Meng Yu was also considering everyone's opinions, but his intuition told him that this road was relatively safer.

As for the road on the left, he also saw that it was very narrow and only one person could pass at a time.

Moreover, a foul smell would emanate from that road from time to time, a smell that only animal corpses would emit.

It was because of these considerations that he chose to take this wide road instead of the one on the left.

But he didn't expect that there would be water on this road, and the water was getting deeper and deeper, and there was no end in sight. They could only rely on the weak light and barely grope forward.

"Let's try walking a little further. If there is really no way, we will return the same way we came."

Meng Yu didn't want to give up so easily, so he led everyone to move forward.

The people behind him groaned in their hearts, but as soldiers, they had to obey orders absolutely. Since the general had already proposed a plan, they naturally had no room for rebuttal.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow the general inside.

However, just halfway through the journey, a scream suddenly came from the middle.

"what!"

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Xiaowu grabbed the man's arm immediately. He saw that the man had a painful look on his face and was about to curl up on the ground.

"I felt like something had bitten me on the leg and there was something in the water."

The man moved to the side with a distorted face, but the severe pain in his calf made it difficult for him to move. If Gu Xiaowu hadn't supported him, he would have fallen into the water.

"There's something in the water, be careful!"

Gu Xiaowu realized that there was something in the water and immediately reminded everyone.

But it was pitch black inside, not to mention the things in the water. I couldn't see what they were. I could only see the water shaking.

Meng Yu regretted choosing this path, "Return the same way!"

They walked a little further, and the water was now up to their thighs, so it became difficult to return.

During the return process, the water surface suddenly became violently turbulent, and then several people's calves were bitten several times.

The smell of blood gradually filled the water, and it seemed to attract more and more things.

Several people began to retreat, but not long after, some more people were bitten on the calves.

……

They were not truly safe until they returned to land.

"Get out of the cave!"

Meng Yu was a little at a loss at the moment. If he chose to take the road on the left, he was worried that a worse situation would occur.

Now that someone was injured, they had to go out to treat the wound. Fortunately, they didn't walk far, and soon they were out of the cave.

The cave entrance was very depressing, forming a sharp contrast with the open space outside. Everyone breathed in the fresh air in big gulps, feeling grateful for having survived a disaster.

Gu Xiaowu began to check the injuries of the injured people, and saw that there was a piece of flesh missing from their calves, which looked like it was bitten off by something.

"It hurts!"

The few people who were bitten curled up on the ground, the pain flooding their heads like a tide, making them exceptionally clear-headed.

Although they wanted to faint at this moment, the pain made them so awake that it was unbearable.

Gu Xiaowu tore open their pants and checked the wounds on their calves. "It looks like they were bitten by a fish."

The wound was round in shape, but in his memory, no fish had such a strong bite force.

Apart from sharks in the ocean, it is impossible for such large fish to exist in this small shallow ditch.

The wounds at the places where they were bitten were not large, but the flesh that was bitten off was very deep. It was as if a piece of flesh was torn off forcibly, so it was no wonder that they felt so painful.

"I felt something slippery, probably something fish or something like that."

The man who was bitten spoke.

In fact, he noticed it the moment he was bitten because the water began to shake and his thigh could clearly feel it.

But at that time he thought he was a teammate and didn't pay much attention to it.

Who would have thought that the next second, he would be bitten like this, without even a chance to resist.

"Treat your wounds first and make sure they don't get infected. If you can still move forward, come with us; if not, just rest where you are."

Meng Yu felt full of self-blame. If he had taken the left road at that time, perhaps this situation would not have happened.

Everyone had advised him to turn back, but he was stubborn and insisted on going down this path, which led to the current situation.

Fortunately, these soldiers did not blame him. They just looked at him with pale faces and said, "We are willing to move forward with the general and will never retreat. This little injury is nothing."

They expressed in unison their determination to keep moving forward and not to be deserters.

"Well, take care of the wound first."

Meng Yu felt heartbroken when he thought of the supplies that had been lost before.

But the mudslide situation was so extreme at the time that it would have been difficult for them to get out alive if they didn't throw away the supplies they had on them.

Gu Xiaowu tore the clothes inside into strips and used them to bandage their wounds.

"We have almost used up all the medicine. We can only let you guys suffer for now and stop the bleeding temporarily."

Gu Xiaowu looked at their bloody calves and felt that a few of them had to stay where they were to rest.

"General Meng Yu, I think they must stay where they are and rest. They can no longer walk normally."

With injured legs and dark inside the cave, if any emergency occurred, they might not even be able to save themselves.

Meng Yu looked at the injuries of those people. Some of them had been bitten several times on their calves. Several pieces of flesh were gone, and their bones were exposed.

Some of the injuries were less serious, with only one bite, and they could still walk.

“Those of you with serious injuries should stay outside the cave.”

"But we..."

They really wanted to go in and fight alongside everyone.

"Sometimes staying here doesn't mean being abandoned. If there is any emergency, you can stay here and inform the king of the specific situation."

Meng Yu sounded a little pessimistic. If he took the people around him in with him, in case something went wrong, there would be a few people left who knew the situation.

If we report what happened here to the king, the whole army will not be wiped out.

After his repeated persuasion, the injured people finally stayed.

Meng Yu led the rest of the group to continue forward. Knowing that there were strange things in the water, they did not dare to wade rashly, so they chose the left path this time. (End of this chapter)
