Seeing that the ebony box that was hidden so well was actually empty, everyone looked at each other. They could not help but feel a little disappointed.
Human desires were endless. If they hadn't found the ebony box, they wouldn't have thought that there would be something more precious inside. Then, the treasures in the cavern would be enough to satisfy them and leave them with no regrets. However, Pandora's box had been opened. Everyone believed that there must be a shocking secret or treasure.
The Miao girl believed that the King of Venomous Worms, which could make people immortal, was hidden inside.
Luoba thought that this must be the Vajra Sarira that Buddha had hidden, a treasure that could allow us to achieve Great Fulfilment.
Lu Yue thought that there must be another Red Crystal Stone. It would be great if she could give another one to Huo Jiakai.
Old Wang and Ping 'an thought to themselves," F * ck, I'm rich just by taking a little. What other treasures can there be in this dark box? Can I fight against ten thousand enemies alone and take the head of a general from the enemy? The best in the world?"
By the time everyone had recovered from the infinite possibilities, a lot of time had passed. Lao Wang only wanted to complete his mission as soon as possible and report this major discovery. This was his mission and honor. How could he get out now? The way in was already closed.
Lu Yue said,"Guardian pythons also need to find food. There must be another exit."”The Miao girl teased Lu Yue." Why don't you just ask that python?"”
Lu Yue actually nodded." I'll go ask."”Lu Yue walked to the side of the python. The python swayed for a while. Lu Yue nodded happily to show that she understood. Lu Yue told everyone that there was a passage for the python to go out and look for food.
They followed the python through the cave filled with treasures and came to a narrower dark passage. After passing through, they came to a cave with a huge pool. The smell of blood was so strong that everyone could not help but hold their breaths.
When everyone got used to the dim light and saw the situation inside the cave clearly, they gasped and felt their scalps go numb. Beside the pool, the pool was filled with giant pythons. Some were coiled up, while others were standing upright. They were all shaking their bodies excitedly. Only Lu Yue knew that they were welcoming her.
Lu Yue was also confused. Did she become their master just because she could communicate with them? Everyone was looking for a passage. Even if it was safe here, they did not dare to stay too long. Not only could they not stand the fishy smell, but the psychological pressure was also too great. Lu Yue helplessly told everyone that the passage was in the water.
Everyone looked at the pool of giant pythons and smiled bitterly. What was worse was that no one knew how long the passage was. No one had diving equipment or oxygen tanks. Huo Jiakai said," I'll go down and take a look.”
Huo Jiakai was about to go into the water when a few pythons suddenly swam over and circled around him a few times. Their tongues kept flicking. Huo Jiakai did not dare to act rashly and looked at Lu Yue. Lu Yue did not know whether to laugh or cry as she said," There's no choice. They're guardian pythons. They're checking if you're carrying any treasures."”Everyone was amazed. Those who originally had selfish motives could only give up on the idea.
Huo Jiakai finally passed the inspection. He took the flashlight from Old Wang and slid into the water. He dived into the water. It was pitch-black inside. He turned on the flashlight and swam forward while observing.
The pool was huge, about four to five meters deep. Huo Jiakai felt the water flow. Following the direction of the water flow, he really saw the exit. However, it was really narrow. It seemed that it was really the entrance of the python. Fortunately, the python was so thick. Only one person could pass through the hole.
Huo Jiakai floated up to the surface, took a deep breath, and dived into the water again. The passage was actually more than 50 meters long. If Huo Jiakai hadn't gone through the cruel underwater training, he would have suffocated to death. After exiting the cave, he floated to the surface of the water. It turned out that it led to the Yarlung Zangbo River.
Huo Jiakai went ashore and took a long enough rattan from the mountain. He wrapped it around a big rock by the shore and tied it firmly. Then, he returned with one end of the rattan. Huo Jiakai had just surfaced when everyone gathered around him. Lu Yue was the happiest. There had been no movement for a long time, and Lu Yue was so anxious that she was about to cry. When Huo Jiakai saw Lu Yue's expression, he actually felt a trace of happiness.
When Huo Jiakai told everyone about the underwater passage, everyone wanted to get out as soon as possible. Apart from Lu Yue, swimming and diving were not a problem for the others. The passage was a little long, but with the help of Huo Jiakai's rattan, it was not a problem. Lu Yue knew how to swim, but she couldn't dive for such a long time. She couldn't breathe in the tunnel either.
Everyone had undergone the python's strict inspection, except for Lu Yue. Huo Jiakai let the others enter the tunnel one by one. He and Lu Yue were the last. Huo Jiakai entered the tunnel in reverse, and Lu Yue entered the tunnel head to head with him.
Huo Jiakai held onto the vine and pulled Lu Yue back. Because Huo Jiakai was by her side, Lu Yue felt at ease.
Lu Yue had already finished exhaling. She almost opened her mouth to shout, but she felt that her lips were soft and sealed. Huo Jiakai let out a sigh of relief for her. Lu Yue, who had recovered, held Huo Jiakai's face tightly. She could not help but take a few deep breaths. She was completely awake. She could not care less about her shyness and pulled the rope forward quickly.
Halfway through, Huo Jiakai breathed again and finally left the cave safely. When they floated to the surface of the water, the group of people were already waiting. They hurriedly dragged the two of them ashore. Huo Jiakai almost suffocated to death. When he reached the shore, he realized that Lu Yue had bitten his lips. Huo Jiakai recalled Lu Yue's cold and soft lips. He wondered if a real kiss would be so intense.
Everyone was excited and tired. Everyone had their own secret regrets. Everyone chose a flat grassland near the river to rest for the night. There were many fish in the river. The Yarlung Zangbo River was deep and rapid, unlike the gentle streams where one could catch fish with their hands.
Huo Jiakai stood by the river as if he was picking up fish, which was an eye-opener for Lu Yue.
Huo Jiakai waved his hand, and a few small silver needles flew into the water. He retracted his hand, and five or six fish jumped to the shore. Lu Yue was stunned. She took a closer look and realized that there was an extremely thin thread behind the silver needle. Although the thread was thin, it was unusually flexible.
Lu Yue mischievously asked," You're using embroidery needles? Are you Invincible East?”Huo Jiakai gritted his teeth.
The moon rose into the sky, and fireflies began to dance in the grass by the river. The fireflies slowly flew into the air, forming a dancing galaxy like a gathering.
Huo Jiakai said to Lu Yue,"Rest early. There's still a long journey tomorrow."”
Lu Yue looked at Huo Jiakai and smiled sweetly.”
"What's so good looking?" Huo Jiakai was baffled.
Lu Yue said," I'm talking about you. Your eyebrows are like the crescent moon in the sky. Your eyes are like the twinkling stars in the sky. Your lips…Eh, why are your lips broken? Are you hurt?”
Lu Yue asked if it hurt as she touched it gently with her index finger. Huo Jiakai looked at this strange woman. Shouldn't she keep a distance from him and say something so ridiculous about how beautiful the night was? Why was she so simple and naive? However, this kind of simplicity and naturalness had endless temptations.
Huo Jiakai smiled evilly." I forgot. It seems to be a puppy bite."”
Lu Yue was stunned for a moment. She vaguely remembered how she had greedily absorbed the energy when she was in a semi-conscious state. This time, his face was so hot that it could be pancake.
She could not be angry, so she simply said,"Then bite me back. I'll compensate you."”
This time, it was Huo Jiakai's turn to be stunned. Looking at Lu Yue's fair face under the moonlight, her trembling eyelashes, and her deer-like eyes, his heart skipped a few beats.
Huo Jiakai cleared his dry throat and said,"The mountain wind is strong. Be careful not to get burned."”Huo Jiakai went to sleep and ignored Lu Yue.
Lu Yue felt a fresh and hidden happiness in her heart. She smiled and fell asleep with this happiness. That night, she dreamed of the first ray of sunlight in the morning, the dew on the grass that was swaying, the flowers that bloomed in the wind...
