Seeing this, Lin Wan'er quickly caught up with Chen Ze.

"Master, the man just now said that their corpses were eaten by aquatic creatures. What could it be? Crocodiles? Sharks? Or other carnivorous animals?" asked the young man.

"Don't make random guesses. Our most important task now is to find the treasure." After warning the young man, the old man also quickened his pace.

Chen Ze and Lin Wan'er followed the two men for about half an hour, and finally, the old man stopped.

"This is it!" The old man looked up at the top of the mountain.

At this time, the old man and the young man were standing on a cliff, and on the top of the cliff there was a palace building.

There are many vines surrounding the palace, which makes it look dark and cold, and even more eerie.

Chen Ze also followed the old man and the young man to the top of the mountain. The environment at the top of the mountain was much worse than that below. Chen Ze even smelled blood in the air.

However, the air on this mountain is much better than that below, which surprised Chen Ze.

"Brother, did you hear the sound of the waterfall?" Lin Wan'er suddenly shouted.

"I heard it too!" Chen Ze listened carefully and found that the waterfall was indeed pouring down from the top of the mountain, constantly hitting the pool of water in the center of the valley.

"Junior sister, be careful, there is danger ahead!" the old man whispered, then walked forward slowly.

"Brother, how did you know?" the young man asked curiously.

"Shut up, follow me, and don't talk!" the old man scolded.

The old man walked in front, looking very cautious along the way.

Chen Ze noticed that the old man took out a piece of yellow talisman paper. Chen Ze remembered that this kind of yellow talisman paper could ward off evil spirits and drive away ghosts.

Chen Ze has been observing the surrounding environment. It is very safe here. There is nothing else except the black snake and the lake. Of course, Chen Ze is not sure.

If there really is something hiding nearby, it must be an intelligent creature.

"Junior brother, are you ready? I will charge forward when I count to three." The old man suddenly stopped moving forward and said seriously to the young man.

The young man nodded and looked at the old man.

"One, two... Go!"

"Roar~~"

As soon as the old man finished counting one, two, three, the young man ran forward impatiently.

However, just as he took a step, a hoarse and terrifying beast roar was suddenly heard, and then Chen Ze saw a huge monster pouncing towards the young man.

The young man was frightened to the point of being stunned. He watched the huge monster passing by him without moving a single step.

"Help!" Chen Ze originally thought that this was just an ordinary wild beast, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He didn't expect that it would actually attack people.

Chen Ze pushed Lin Wan'er away, then rushed forward violently, punching the giant lizard in the abdomen with both fists.

Chen Ze felt a sharp pain, but he didn't care about that anymore. He drew his sword and chopped at the lizard. Chen Ze chopped at the lizard's back, but only cut through the skin. He failed to cause fatal damage, but instead aroused the lizard's anger.

The lizard swung its tail suddenly and hit Chen Ze's waist. Chen Ze was immediately knocked flying and hit the rock.

Fortunately, Chen Ze was a strong man, otherwise he would have been beaten to death by the tail.

Chen Ze held his waist and climbed up from the ground, then punched the lizard's head again.

The lizard went crazy and attacked Chen Ze again, waving its claws.

Chen Ze had no choice but to raise his knife to resist.

The lizard jumped up, bit Chen Ze's right arm which was holding the knife, then pulled it hard, and the knife in Chen Ze's hand fell to the ground.

Taking advantage of Chen Ze's distraction, the lizard bit the muscle on Chen Ze's shoulder. "Roar~" Chen Ze screamed.

Chen Ze felt that his bones were about to be bitten to pieces. Chen Ze kicked the lizard on the head, and the lizard fell to the ground.

Chen Ze took advantage of the situation and escaped.

Just as Chen Ze stood firm, the lizard pounced on him again. Fortunately, Chen Ze was prepared and dodged to the side.

He only dodged the lizard's claws, but not its tail.

The lizard used its tail to roll Chen Ze into the air, and then slammed Chen Ze to the ground.

"Crack!" Chen Ze felt a dull pain in his chest, as if his ribs were broken, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

Chen Ze spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, then struggled to get up with difficulty. Due to blood loss, Chen Ze was already a little dizzy.

"Master, let me help you kill it." The young man suggested when he saw Chen Ze was injured.

"No, we are here to take the treasure today, don't break the rules." The old man shook his head and refused the young man.

"Oh!" The young man no longer insisted, but silently stepped aside.

"Are you okay?" The old man helped Chen Ze up and asked worriedly when he saw Chen Ze vomiting blood.

Chen Ze waved his hands to show that he could still hold on.

"Let's go in!" said the old man and took the lead in entering the palace.

Chen Ze and Lin Wan'er also followed behind.

After entering the palace, Chen Ze discovered that this palace was not simple. The furniture inside was all made of mahogany, and there were several paintings hanging on the wall, all of which were ancient paintings from the Qing Dynasty.

"Master, I'll go find the treasure. You take a rest for a while!" The young man said and went into the study.

Seeing Chen Ze's weak appearance, Lin Wan'er said, "Let's go sit down." Chen Ze also wanted to rest, but he still forced himself to walk into the study. This was a tomb chamber, and funerary objects were naturally placed in the study. Although Chen Ze rarely entered a tomb chamber, he had heard about funerary objects in ancient tombs.

So Chen Ze walked into the study, wanting to see if there were any valuable antiques. It would be even better if he could pick up some money.

However, Chen Ze searched the entire study room but couldn't find even a piece of scrap metal.

Chen Ze sighed helplessly and walked out of the study.

Only Lin Wan'er and Chen Ze are left here.

"Chen Ze, what's wrong with you? Where does it hurt?" Lin Wan'er saw Chen Ze frowning and asked hurriedly.

"It's okay, just take a rest!" Chen Ze shook his head, then sat cross-legged on the chair and began to regulate his breathing.

It was two hours later when Chen Ze woke up. He found himself lying in bed.

"Where is this place?" Chen Ze asked, rubbing his forehead.

"I don't know, you fell asleep." Lin Wan'er answered while peeling an apple. Chen Ze touched the bed under him and felt it was hard. Chen Ze couldn't help wondering: "What's going on?"

Chen Ze jumped off the bed and stepped on the ground. He felt that he was sleeping on a bed board or floor tiles, but Chen Ze didn't understand why there was a furry blanket on the bed.

Chen Ze turned to Lin Wan'er who was peeling an apple and said, "Wan'er, where is this?"

"I don't know. We got lost in the cave just now. Fortunately, you brought me out, otherwise I would have been trapped to death in the cave." Lin Wan'er said.

Hearing Lin Wan'er's words, Chen Ze also remembered that he and Lin Wan'er had indeed been lost in the cave before.

Fortunately, Lin Wan'er was in excellent physical condition, otherwise she would have starved to death long ago. (End of this chapter)
