Chapter 600: The Cave Has Mysteries
"The Water Monster is just injured, will the two of them be alright going down there?" Ouyang Yi asked worriedly. He had clearly seen the waves created by the Water Monster just now, so he was concerned that Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng would be at a disadvantage underwater.
After all, there’s no oxygen underwater, and neither of them had brought any oxygen supply equipment.
Shangguan Wenbin didn’t answer; his heart was hanging by a thread. That day, when the two stayed underwater for a long time and later returned alive, it was because they were lucky.
So today, will they be just as lucky?
Underwater, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were heading toward the Water Monster’s lair. Normally, the Water Monster just stays in the water and doesn’t return to its cave. But today, it was injured, and since its eye was hurt, it had to return to the cave to recuperate.
Moreover, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng were waiting outside, ready to kill it at any moment, so it had to hide first. Fortunately, its lair was quite hidden, and ordinary people wouldn’t be able to find it.
The Water Monster was smug inside its cave, but suddenly it sensed an approaching presence, and couldn’t help but be startled.
How did they know about this place?
While it was thinking, Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng had already burrowed into the cave. The Water Monster’s cave was rather wide and full of aquatic plants. Fortunately, Mu Qiancheng not only brought an anesthetic gun but also a military knife, so he hacked away the plants along the way and ventured inside, eventually reaching the Water Monster.
The Water Monster had one of its eyes injured, leaving only one eye to see. When it saw that the intruders were indeed Mu Qiancheng and Jiang Xue, it was filled with hate.
It hated that it hadn’t been able to kill the two last time and that it had just been deceived by Jiang Xue. But no matter how much it hated them, it was useless because although the cave was large, it wasn’t suitable for fighting.
Faced with Mu Qiancheng, who was aiming a gun at it, the Water Monster could only keep retreating until it could retreat no more and stopped.
After stopping, the Water Monster looked at Jiang Xue with pleading eyes. It wished to kill Jiang Xue and Mu Qiancheng, but it didn’t want to die either.
Little Fox sensed the Water Monster’s plea and communicated this to Jiang Xue. However, Jiang Xue was not one to be soft-hearted, and she didn’t want to leave the Water Monster as a latent threat. So, she directly told the Water Monster, "We can’t let you go."
The Water Monster seemed to understand Jiang Xue’s words, and the look it gave her suddenly turned to one of despair.
"Do it!" Jiang Xue said. Just as Mu Qiancheng prepared to pull the trigger, the Water Monster suddenly roared, and at that moment, Little Fox suddenly said to Jiang Xue, "Wait!"
"Qiancheng, wait a moment!" Although Jiang Xue didn’t know why Little Fox called for a halt, she still instructed him to stop.
Once Mu Qiancheng stopped, Jiang Xue began to communicate telepathically with Little Fox.
"Woman, there’s something mysterious about this cave; it seems there’s a treasure here."
"Treasure? What do you mean?" Jiang Xue was a bit puzzled. Little Fox continued, "Do you feel it? After coming in here, don’t you feel any shortness of breath or lack of oxygen?"
Without Little Fox mentioning it, Jiang Xue wouldn’t have noticed. As soon as it brought it up, she realized that since entering the cave, she didn’t feel any lack of oxygen.
Afraid that her perception was wrong, Jiang Xue asked Mu Qiancheng beside her.
"Qiancheng, do you feel that there’s something different about this cave?"
"Really?" Mu Qiancheng replied, then looked around. After a round, he didn’t feel anything different; wasn’t it just a water cave?
"Take a breath, and think carefully, where are we?" Jiang Xue prompted, and Mu Qiancheng was taken aback, then started to feel surprised.
