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

The moment the ice sculpture was pushed open, countless water surged out from below, and the powerful current made it impossible for them to get close.

Yang Xia could only quickly dodge to the side. When the water reached his waist, the rushing water was not so fast. He seized the opportunity, began to call the people around him, and jumped in first.

Although he was mentally prepared, the freezing cold water still caught him off guard.

It was so cold that it felt like they were stuck in a snowy mountain, making them shiver all over.

Yang Xia gritted his teeth and swam forward with all his might, because this not only concerned his own life, but the hopes of everyone behind him also rested on him.

Therefore, even if there are many difficulties ahead, he must find a way to survive.

He swam forward along the direction of the water flow and finally saw a ray of light.

Yang Xia gathered his strength and swam over. When he emerged from the water, he found himself in a cave.

This is not the source of the water, but it is a whole new world.

He crawled out directly from the small hole, moved to the side, and signaled the people behind him to follow him out.

The space here was very small, and he could only lower his head. Only when he squatted down did he feel that the space was a little more spacious.

The people behind me came one after another, filling the place up so tightly that people were almost sticking to each other.

"It seems that what we found is not a way out. It seems that this is just a small space with very little oxygen."

Luo Xun wrung the water out of his body, his eyes were red from the cold.

Their condition was terrible. After coming out of the ice water, they sneezed one after another.

Fortunately, their physical fitness is stronger than that of ordinary people. They secretly circulate their internal energy to dry their clothes.

Yang Xia also benefited from them. His clothes were dried by his internal energy, so at least he didn't have to stand here like a drowned chicken.

"This may not be the way out. We have to go down again."

Yang Xia looked around, it seemed to be just a small space. They had been underwater for so long, they had to find a place to rest.

So when he saw this small hole, he crawled in without hesitation, mainly because he wanted to get some fresh air.

He might be able to hold his breath in the water for two or three minutes, but the people behind him might not be able to hold on that long.

In order to avoid unnecessary casualties, he found this place and let everyone stay temporarily, planning to rest for a while before moving on.

"Stay here for a while. Did you see anything when you swam over here just now?"

Yang Xia was not sure whether what he saw was correct. Just now when he was swimming along the current, he seemed to see several heavy boxes.

The wooden boxes were covered in dust and moss. He only took a quick glance at them. The situation was urgent, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.

Mengyin was a rough man and didn't notice it at all.

Luo Xun was more careful and found the place he mentioned.

"I saw it too. It looked like a few wooden boxes. I don't know what's inside them." Luo Xun said frankly.

"The sudden appearance of several boxes in the water is definitely not a coincidence." Yang Xia expressed his opinion, and he planned to go back again.

If you want to get out of here, you can't miss any details.

Maybe the things in those wooden boxes can help them escape from here.

"But those wooden boxes are still some distance away from here. Going back and forth is too tiring." Luo Xun recalled that those wooden boxes were not close to here.

They have just expended so much energy that it might be a bit strenuous for them to swim back and forth now.

"Let me go. I have a better foundation than any of you, and I'm also familiar with swimming." Meng Yin took the initiative to step forward and take the responsibility of this matter.

He was full of confidence and felt he had the strength to go back and forth.

"But you don't know the exact location of the box, so it will be useless even if you go back." Luo Xun planned to go alone.

"Let me go. I still have plenty of energy. Swimming back and forth shouldn't be a problem."

Luo Xun volunteered to fight. He felt that he was a decent swimmer and completing a round should be no problem.

"Then I'll go with you so I can take care of you."

Yang Xia was worried that he couldn't handle it alone. After all, opening those heavy boxes was not an easy task without a helper.

"Your Majesty, you are of noble status, so you can't take risks with me. I will go with him."

Mengyin was unwilling to let Yang Xia take risks again, as he represented the Volkswagen Dynasty.

Yang Xia did not argue with him, but just reminded him: "Be careful when opening the box, and never be careless at any time. You must bring back anything you think is useful."

What appears here is by no means accidental.

There are many items that can come in handy. If you miss these boxes, no one knows whether you can pass the next level smoothly.

After some discussion, the two of them went there.

The two men jumped into the water one after the other and swam hard towards the target.

The two cooperated very well and soon arrived at their destination.

Luo Xun looked at the moss-covered boxes and was about to go forward to open them, but found that the boxes were locked.

Despite the rust around them, the locks still looked as bright as new.

A thought suddenly flashed through Luo Xun's mind. Could these locks be gold locks? Locks made of pure gold would naturally not rust.

He reached out and pulled, but the lock didn't budge.

I used to hear people say that gold is soft, but now it seems that is not entirely true.

Meng Yin drew his weapon and chopped hard at the locks.

These locks are really sturdy!

Luo Xun began to have doubts again, thinking that perhaps these locks were not made of gold at all.

If we don’t find the key, we may not be able to open these boxes at all.

The two tried very hard but still failed to open the box. As the oxygen in their chests gradually decreased, they were no longer able to return to their original position.

When Yang Xia saw the two of them coming back, he thought the mission had been accomplished, but he saw that they were dejected and spoke with a tone full of self-blame.

"I don't know what materials those locks are made of. We can't open them at all." Luo Xun said dejectedly.

He suddenly felt useless and couldn't help at all at the critical moment.

"We must have a key. Those golden locks must be made of special materials. Ordinary weapons cannot open them at all."

Meng Yin wiped the water off his face. The sword in his hand had made several cuts, but he still couldn't open the lock.

Those boxes were extremely heavy. If the locks were not opened, they would not be able to pry open the boxes with just the weapons in their hands.

When Yang Xia heard that a key was needed to open the golden lock, an idea suddenly occurred to him. "Oh, right, the key must be inside the knocked-over ice sculpture."

Yang Xia suddenly remembered that there was a faint yellow color in the middle of the ice sculpture, but he didn't pay attention to it at the time.

But now that I think about it carefully, that light yellow spot should be the key.

"So, we have to go back to where we started?"

Luo Xun found it a little bit unbelievable. They had barely managed to escape death and managed to get here. Now that they had returned to the original place, they had no idea how deep the water had already flooded there.

"We have to go back now, whether we want to or not. There is no other way unless we get the key to open the things in the box."

Right now, they have no other choice.

The air here is getting thinner and thinner. With so many people crowded here, the oxygen will be sucked away in less than a quarter of an hour.

By then, they will really have no way out.

Yang Xia said no more, dived into the water and swam back to the original place.

Fortunately, his memory was pretty good, and he managed to find the original location without any marking.

When he got ashore, he found that the ice sculpture had drifted away. Fortunately, the water level here did not rise.

The water level remained at waist level, and there was a little more air here than before, at least enough for everyone to breathe for a while.

"it's here!"

Luo Xun felt something under his feet. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was the ice sculpture that had just been knocked over.

You can vaguely see that there is indeed a light yellow color in the middle of the ice sculpture. The key should be hidden inside.

But opening this ice sculpture was not an easy task. Everyone drew their swords and chopped at the ice sculpture.

boom!
boom!
Noises continued to be heard in the small space. Although the ice sculpture was solid, it could not withstand so many people chopping it together.

Ice fragments flew everywhere. After five minutes of hard work, a part of the ice sculpture was finally cut off and it broke into two halves. They also successfully got the key.

"My lord, we got the keys!" Luo Xun ran over with excitement on his face, holding three keys tightly in his hands.

When everyone heard this, they were very happy and gathered around.

Yang Xia's expression was somewhat solemn. They couldn't go back to that small space as the oxygen there was not enough for so many people.

So, before setting off, he made a new plan: "Wait a minute, the two of you are responsible for opening the box, and then make a short transition to the cave entrance. When I find a new way out, I will come to pick you up."

Right now, the only way for everyone to survive is to act separately. If everyone gathers together, the situation will only get worse.

After a brief discussion, everyone took action. Yang Xia jumped into the water again and began to explore a new direction.

The water here is really strange. At first I thought it was just the chill coming from the ice sculptures, but when I was in the water, the chill was no less than that brought by the ice sculptures.

Yang Xia looked for a way out and swam hard towards the east. This time, they came to a different place.

This place seemed like a cave, and the things inside were dazzling and emitted an eerie light, illuminating the entire space.

Especially those colorful minerals, which are like the most outstanding masterpieces of nature, so beautiful that people feel as if they are in a dreamland.

However, Yang Xia was not intoxicated by the beauty. After settling the people behind him, he jumped into the water again.

He came to the previous place, but found that Luo Xun and General Meng Yin had not arrived yet.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, two heads suddenly popped up from the water. It turned out that Mengyin was bringing people with him.

They looked tired, but there was joy in their eyes. They held keys in their hands and carried some things behind them.

Luo Xun was shirtless, and in order to take the things out of the box, he had to take off his shirt to pack those things.

The three huge boxes contained not gold, silver or jewelry, but three bunches of keys, each with at least twenty keys.

In addition, there were some objects that they couldn't understand. In short, they tried their best to bring back everything they could.

Except for the big box which was too big to drag, they did not leave behind anything else in the box.

"Rest here for a while. Once you have recovered, we will set off again."

Seeing that they were exhausted and out of breath, and that the next destination was still some distance away, Yang Xia decided to wait until they had rested before setting off to avoid any accidents along the way.

"it is good!"

After the two put their things down, Yang Xia opened a package and found something rather strange - a palm-sized box.

Its shape is somewhat similar to a music box, but there is neither a dancing princess nor beautiful music inside. It is just an empty box.

The box was empty, with nothing in it, except for two lines of words engraved on the bottom of the box.

"It's hard to meet and hard to leave, the east wind is weak and the flowers are withered."

Yang Xia recited the poem softly. He could understand its meaning to some extent.

It probably expresses the woman's lovesickness. It is difficult to meet and it is also difficult to part. The withered flowers add a bit of desolate atmosphere.

Yang Xia guessed that this was probably some woman's jewelry box, but it was empty.

What was left were the three bunches of keys, which totaled dozens in total and felt heavy hanging on his body.

There are a few beads at the bottom of the keychain, the color of which is extremely red, as if they were made of blood.

"This looks like amber!" Yang Xia felt that the three beads looked very much like amber, even though there were no small objects wrapped inside.

But what exactly is used to make such bright amber?

There is also a huge silver iron ring that looks like it is put on a cow's nose, and it is unclear what it is used for.

In short, they took whatever they could.

"How are you two recovering?" Yang Xia put his things in order. Ten minutes had passed.

Even though there were only three of them sitting here, Yang Xia felt that the air was pitifully thin.

Every breath was painful.

The oxygen here can only last for ten minutes at most.

Luo Xun let out a long breath, his eyes brighter than before: "I feel I have recovered enough and can continue on my journey."

Meng Yin also picked up his weapon: "I'm almost there, let's not waste time here."

"Now that you are all recovered, let's go."

Yang Xia led them to the place he found, thinking that his men would be waiting there, but when they arrived, they found that the place was empty.

"These guys are getting bolder and bolder as they don't even wait here! When I find them, I will punish them according to military law!" Meng Yin was extremely angry.

The king went back to look for them personally, as he had some objections in his mind. (End of this chapter)
