Chapter 1648

An hour later, the raging sea storm finally stopped.

Huo Jilin's tense nerves also relaxed. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned to look at Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan, and said, "Old Hu, Fatty, the storm has stopped, let's go out for some fresh air."

Hu Bayi nodded, stood up and patted the dust on his body, while Wang Kaixuan stretched his waist and muttered, "I am so suffocated."

The three of them carefully opened the door of the wooden house and walked out. Huo Jilin took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze, and his heart was full of gratitude for surviving the disaster.

At this moment, Wang Kaixuan suddenly exclaimed, "Look, what is that?"

Following the direction of his finger, the three saw a dark hole outside the wooden house. Huo Jilin frowned, walked forward, and carefully observed the hole.

Hu Bayi also followed and said, "This cave entrance looks a bit strange, as if it was dug by humans."

Wang Kaixuan came up and looked inside. A cool breeze blew out of the cave, which made him shudder: "Old Hu, this can't be a monster's cave, right?"

Huo Jilin rolled his eyes at him: "Fatty, don't talk nonsense, let's go in and take a look."

The three of them lit torches and walked into the cave entrance. The cave was filled with a damp atmosphere, and the stone walls were covered with water droplets. They walked forward carefully, and the ground under their feet was a bit slippery.

Suddenly, Hu Bayi stopped and saw some strange words and patterns engraved on the stone wall by the light of the torch.

"It seems to have some secret written on it." Hu Bayi said.

Wang Kaixuan came over curiously: "Old Hu, take a look, what is written?"

Hu Bayi carefully identified the words on the stone wall, and his face gradually became solemn.

"Old Hu, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us!" Wang Kaixuan urged anxiously.

Hu Bayi took a deep breath and said slowly: "It says here that this passage leads to a glorious ancient road that disappeared under the sea five hundred years ago."

"What? An ancient road five hundred years ago?" Wang Kaixuan widened his eyes, looking incredulous.

Huo Jilin's eyes flashed with excitement: "This may be a major discovery, we can't miss it."

Hu Bayi pondered for a moment and said: "This road may be full of unknown dangers, we have to think carefully."

Wang Kaixuan waved his hand: "Old Hu, what are you afraid of? What storms have we not seen? Such a good opportunity, I won't be willing not to go in and take a look."

Huo Jilin also said: "Old Hu, I think the fat man is right. We have been through many dangers along the way, but we have always escaped danger. This time we may have a big harvest."

Hu Bayi looked at the determined eyes of the two and nodded: "Okay, since you have decided, let's go together to find out. But everyone must be careful."

So, the three continued to move forward along the passage. The further they went in, the narrower the passage became, and only one person could pass through. Huo Jilin walked in front, with a torch in his hand to illuminate the road ahead.

Suddenly, a huge bat flew over his head, scaring Wang Kaixuan to scream.

"Fatty, don't shout! Be careful not to alarm other things." Hu Bayi shouted in a low voice.

Wang Kaixuan covered his mouth and nodded.

As they walked, they came to a fork in the road.

"Which road should we take?" Wang Kaixuan asked.

Hu Bayi observed the situation of the two roads and said, "The road on the left looks drier, it should be a vent, the road on the right is humid, there may be water accumulation. To be safe, let's go to the left."

The three walked into the passage on the left, and soon they heard a gurgling sound of water.

"No, there may be an underground river ahead." Huo Jilin said.

Sure enough, a wide underground river appeared in front of them, and the river was rushing.

"How can we get through this?" Wang Kaixuan looked at the river and was worried.

Hu Bayi looked around and found some dead branches next to him.

"Let's make a simple raft and paddle over." Hu Bayi said.

The three of them made a raft, stepped onto it carefully, and paddled to the other side.

In the river, the raft kept shaking, and Wang Kaixuan turned pale with fear.

"Fatty, don't be afraid, hold on!" Huo Jilin shouted.

Finally, they successfully crossed the underground river.

After walking a distance, a stone door appeared in front of them.

Hu Bayi pushed forward, but the stone door did not move.

"Maybe the entrance to the ancient road is behind this door." Wang Kaixuan said.

Huo Jilin said: "Let's work together and see if we can push it open."

The three of them worked together and finally pushed open the stone door.

A stale smell came to their faces, and the scene in front of them shocked them.Stunned...

Huh!

Behind the door is a wide passage, the ground is covered with exquisite stone slabs, and the walls are inlaid with gems that sparkle with strange light, as if telling the glory of the past.

Hu Bayi murmured to himself: "This place is incredible."

Wang Kaixuan ran forward excitedly, wanting to take off the gems on the wall: "We are rich, if we take this back, we will never have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives."

Huo Jilin hurriedly stopped him: "Fatty, don't move, be careful of traps."

Wang Kaixuan reluctantly retracted his hand: "Old Huo, you are just too careful, there are not so many traps."

Hu Bayi said: "Old Huo is right, we can't take it lightly, let's carefully explore it first."

The three walked carefully along the passage, being extremely cautious with every step. Suddenly, Wang Kaixuan slipped and almost fell.

"Fatty, be careful!" Hu Bayi shouted in a low voice.

Wang Kaixuan smiled embarrassedly: "Hehe, I know, I know."

At this time, they heard a faint sound, as if someone was whispering.

"Did you hear any sound?" Huo Jilin stopped and looked around vigilantly.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan both shook their heads, indicating that they did not hear it.

Huo Jilin frowned: "Did I hear it wrong?"

Just when they were confused, the sound rang again, this time clearer.

Wang Kaixuan was frightened and his face turned pale: "Old Hu, Old Huo, there won't be anything unclean, right?"

Hu Bayi comforted: "Don't scare yourself, maybe it's the sound of the wind or other natural sounds."

They continued to move forward, but the sound kept lingering in their ears. Suddenly, a huge stone door appeared in front of them, with some strange symbols engraved on it.

Hu Bayi walked forward and studied the symbols carefully: "This seems to be some kind of ancient text, maybe the key to opening this door."

Wang Kaixuan came over: "Old Hu, can you understand it?"

Hu Bayi shook his head: "I only know a little bit, I still need to think about it carefully."

Just when Hu Bayi was thinking, Huo Jilin found a small groove next to the stone door.
