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

The scalper handed out the tickets without hesitation. Maybe these people didn't have time to queue up to buy tickets, but he had plenty of time.

After all, this is his "profession". As long as he can make money, he is willing to wait from dusk to dawn.

"Give me the money!"

After the scalper handed over the ticket, the man was very trustworthy and immediately counted out a thick stack of banknotes from his black wallet and stuffed it into the scalper's hand.

"Here's the money, take it."

The man gave the money to the scalper, took the ticket, and left happily.

"I finally got the tickets, hahahaha!"

The scalper looked at the man's departing back and couldn't help but curse him as a "fool".

In his opinion, even if he spent a little more time, he would definitely be able to grab the tickets, and it was natural for him to make the money.

He deliberately walked past the man and shook the ticket in his hand. He looked so arrogant and proud.

"See? You don't want to spend money to buy it, but there are plenty of people who are willing to spend money to buy it."

After saying that, he snorted coldly and then disappeared into the crowd.

However, he can be seen frequently in recent times. After all, there are people who can't buy tickets every day, and he takes the opportunity to make a lot of money.

This incident also became a hot topic, and the scene of people queuing up to buy tickets was filmed into a video and posted on various short video websites.

For a time, this incident was like a huge rock dropped into a calm lake, stirring up a thousand waves. The scalper industry became extremely unstable because of the exposure.

Scalpers no longer dare to trade openly like before, and can only do it secretly. After all, they will be held legally responsible for deliberately raising the ticket price.

So after the incident was exposed, many scalpers were cursing and wanted to beat up the people who filmed the video.

But there is no point in scolding them, they are not the masters of this world, they are just tiny survivors.

After this incident was exposed, ticket buyers became even more crazy. Some people set up a small tent at the entrance of the ticket office the moment the tickets were sold out, so that they could be the first in line to buy tickets the next morning.

Yang Xia couldn't help but admire this perseverance.

When he saw those videos, he was almost reaching Island X.

"I didn't expect it would cause such a sensation. It's really touching." Yang Xia was happy, but he also felt that his country was not strong enough.

If all routes could be opened smoothly, ordinary people wouldn't have to rack their brains to grab these tickets.

At this time, Shaoyao walked out of the crowd. She also saw what was on the hot search and could understand those people's madness.

"Your Majesty, we are almost there. Should we notify General Mengyin?"

Peony reminded from the side.

Island X is not small in size. If no one is there to pick them up in advance, they don’t know whether they can meet each other smoothly.

"Okay, send him a message right away and ask him to wait in the most conspicuous place in advance."

After Yang Xia gave the order, everyone went about their respective business in an orderly manner.

After receiving the call, Meng Yin immediately took a few capable men around him and ran to the easternmost part of the island, quietly waiting for the king's arrival.

In their hearts, the king is the backbone, and the fact that the king can come to X Island in person shows his trust in them.

No matter what, they cannot betray this trust.

When Yang Xia arrived, he saw General Mengyin and a few others waiting there quietly.

"Your Majesty!" Meng Yin hurriedly called out respectfully.

"What's the current situation?" Yang Xia asked.

"I still haven't found a way to get in. Please go over there and take a look at the situation first." Meng Yin looked embarrassed, feeling that he had not even done such a small thing the king had asked him to do.

They searched everywhere outside but found no mechanism to get in, so they could only wait here.

"Then go and take a look first."

Yang Xia followed them. The road was bumpy and it had rained last night, so the road was wet and slippery.

It's really not easy for them to have been guarding here for so long. Yang Xia plans to reward them well after returning.

The group quickened their pace, and when they were almost at the cave, Mengyin suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, his head instantly became dizzy, and he fell headfirst onto the trunk of a large tree next to him.

"What happened to you?" Yang Xia hurriedly turned back to check on him and found two small holes on his neck.

Yang Xia looked up again and saw a brown snake coiled on the branch, spitting out its tongue.

Yang Xia raised his hand and slapped the snake down, and the snake quickly disappeared into the jungle.

Yang Xia didn't know what species of snake this was, and the place where Mengyin was bitten was very critical. If there was no serum, the snake venom would probably take his life.

"Bring some clean water." Yang Xia ordered in an orderly manner.

Then, he took out the dagger in his hand and cut a hole in the wound without hesitation, letting the poisonous blood flow out.

Then I washed the wound with clean water. The blood that flowed out at first was black in color.

At this time, a royal guard hurriedly brought over a herb and said, "This snake is called an eight-headed snake, and it is very poisonous. Fortunately, there is Linqing grass here, which can just detoxify the snake venom."

As he said this, he put the herb directly into his mouth, chewed it into pieces, then spit it out and applied it to the wound.

"This way his life can be saved."

His series of movements were natural and smooth, and Yang Xia noticed this man.

"What's your name?" Yang Xia asked.

"Your Majesty, my name is Luo Xun!"

"You are a smart man. After you go back this time, you will work beside me."

Yang Xia plans to promote him. He can remain calm at critical moments and is indeed a useful talent.

If he were given more opportunities, perhaps this man would grow into a more powerful character in the future.

"Thank you for your appreciation, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Luo Xun clasped his hands together, his eyes filled with excitement and joy.

He could finally work for the king.

In the future, he will definitely work hard to remove obstacles for the king's hegemony and help the prosperity and development of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Mengyin slowly opened his eyes and felt as if only a few minutes had passed and he felt as if he had walked through the gates of hell.

Although he was completely exhausted, he was still conscious and able to sense the situation around him and hear their conversation.

To be honest, he was happy from the bottom of his heart that the people around him were appreciated by the king.

If they can find a better place to go, it will be worth it that they have followed me for so long.

"Thank you for saving my life just now." Mengyin has always been a grateful person. Luo Xun waved his hand and said modestly: "If the king hadn't taken timely action, even with this herb, you might not have survived until now."

He wasn't trying to take credit, he was just stating the facts.

This snake is extremely poisonous. Even if he has an antidote, if the king doesn't deal with it in time, Mengyin may not be able to wait for him to bring the herbs.

"Thank you, your Majesty!" Meng Yin coughed a few times, but felt that his strength had not yet recovered.

His whole body was limp, as if all his bones had been taken away, leaving only a mass of soft flesh.

In his current state, it would be extremely difficult for him to even take two steps, let alone lead the king into the cave.

He hated himself for not being careful enough and failing at the critical moment, causing everyone to wait here with him.

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He said, "I will stay here alone. You take the king first. When I have recovered my strength, I will catch up with him."

"No, I will never let you stay here alone."

Yang Xia rejected his proposal without even thinking about it.

No matter what, I have to take him with me, even if it takes some time.

They have always followed me loyally, and I can't just abandon them when something goes wrong.

That would be too cruel and heartless, he would never do such a thing.

"But given my current physical condition, I can't travel with you." Meng Yin said with a guilty look on his face.

"Then I'll have someone carry you over. We'll rest outside the cave for a while and go in when you're almost recovered."

There was no way Yang Xia would leave him here.

However, in order to prevent others from finding the cave, it would be better for them to rush there first. At least they could guard the place and go in at any time.

The group soon arrived at the cave entrance. At this time, Mengyin's physical condition had almost recovered. They brought dry food along the way and hardly stopped, so they decided to eat something to replenish their energy.

"Rest here first, and then go in when you are ready."

Yang Xia knew that the situation inside the cave must be very complicated. If he rushed in without conserving his energy, he would suffer a great loss.

It is better to let everyone recover their strength first, so that after entering, even if there are any emergencies, they can deal with them better.

Everyone stopped and rested on the spot, then took out the dry food they had brought with them and started to eat.

Yang Xia looked at their forbearing and tenacious appearance, and made a promise to everyone: as long as everyone could return safely, they would be rewarded.

"Everyone, be alert! The situation inside is unclear and you may encounter danger at any time. What you need to do is to protect the safety of the king."

Meng Yin looked determined and spoke to the people around him in a sonorous and powerful voice.

As long as he can protect the king, he will not hesitate even if it means sacrificing his own life.

"Yes!"

"I swear to protect the king's safety until my death!"

"I swear to protect the king's safety until my death!"

Everyone raised their weapons in unison and shouted excitedly.

This is the purpose they have always adhered to and it is also their responsibility.

Yang Xia stood up from his seat, dusted himself off, and walked towards the edge of the cave.

He found a handprint-shaped groove outside the cave, and put his hand on it. Instantly, the cave began to vibrate violently.

Then, the originally blocked area slowly moved to both sides, and a dark space appeared in front.

The group of people walked forward in a mighty procession. The road ahead was very narrow, barely enough for three people to pass side by side.

However, the further you go in, the wider the road becomes, but it also feels more dangerous.

Yang Xia didn't dare to move forward rashly because he saw a strange flower. Normally, this kind of flower shouldn't grow in the cracks of rocks.

"Have you seen this kind of flower?" Yang Xia pointed at the gorgeous red flower and asked. The flower was only visible but no leaves, which was indescribably strange.

"This flower is called Lycoris radiata. I heard that it blooms on the road to the underworld and is an ominous flower."

Mengyin had also seen the description of this flower in a book, but this was the first time he saw it in real life.

Just as what was described in the book, this flower was enchanting and strange, and even a little creepy in its beauty.

"This kind of flower usually grows in groups, why is there only one here?"

Meng Yu recalled the records in the book. This kind of flower already grew strangely, and its current appearance was completely different from the description in the book.

"There are three roads in front of us, and this flower happens to grow on the right road. Do you think this road is ok?"

Yang Xia put his hands behind his back. Although he was not afraid of this kind of flower, he knew very well that in places where this kind of flower could grow, there might be other unknown things living there.

If he accidentally chose the wrong road, the lives of the hundreds of people behind him would all depend on him.

"Why don't we change direction? This flower is unlucky." Meng Yin suggested changing direction directly. After all, no one knows what terrible things they will encounter if they continue along this road.

This flower is ominous in the first place, and now it appears here again. Maybe it is God's warning to them to move to another place quickly and stop messing around here.

Yang Xia adopted his suggestion. Originally, these three roads were bottomless, giving people a feeling as if they were three abysses.

But now that we have come this far, there is no reason to retreat. We have to grit our teeth and keep moving forward.

Finally, they chose the left direction. But as they walked, they found that the road was getting narrower and the air inside was getting thinner.

In a place with low oxygen, once you exercise vigorously, you will easily have difficulty breathing. Yang Xia adjusted his breathing, and then told the people behind him: "Everyone, try not to exercise vigorously, otherwise you will have difficulty breathing."

In this oxygen-deficient environment, strenuous exercise is extremely harmful to them.

Taking this into consideration, Yang Xia slowed down. At first, they could still walk straight, but as they walked further, the height of the passage became lower and lower, and they could only bend down slowly.

In the end, he could only half-squat and move forward. Yang Xia began to wonder if the road ahead was a dead end.

If they continue to drill like this, it is unknown whether they can get out.

Just when he was about to give up, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the dark place ahead. This light was like a drowning man grabbing the last straw, and Yang Xia went in without thinking.

This was a small hole, and he jumped in after crawling out. What appeared in front of him was a huge space.

This place was not very high, like a giant disc. In addition to the hole he had drilled out of, there were seven other holes in the disc.

These eight holes are all connected at this place, and there is no other way out.

Moreover, the space was not big, so there was no way to let people from outside in.

Yang Xia asked someone to pass on the message, asking the people behind him to wait outside until he reached the center.

"Could it be that these holes are the real way out?" (End of this chapter)
