A full five or six seconds passed before the huge fireball completely disappeared.
Wang Cheng and Zhang Laosan flew dozens of meters away and hit the ground heavily.
After a while, Wang Cheng stood up from the ground in a daze. Because he was protected by the nameless treasure armor, he did not suffer any damage, but his head was shaken.
He took a closer look and his expression suddenly changed.
There was only a large circular crater in front of him, and the flatbed truck, sacks, and the ten horses were all gone.
Yes, everything is gone, even the scum is gone!
"this……"
There was an extremely suspicious look on Wang Cheng's face. Even if the explosion just now was astonishingly powerful, it was impossible to leave nothing behind. There must be a few fragments left, right?
What's more, there were ten more horses inside, so it was impossible for them all to evaporate at once.
He looked elsewhere. Because his eyes were equipped with night vision, he could clearly see the scenery within one or two hundred meters, but he did not see those things or any clues left behind.
At this time, Zhang Laosan also staggered up from the ground. Less than half of his clothes were burnt black, and his originally black face turned into a piece of black coal.
After standing up, the first thing he did was to curse: "What the hell? You almost blew me up? Fortunately, I'm wearing an armor."
He was still frightened. If he hadn't kept a hand out of habit, the explosion just now would have seriously injured him.
After scolding for a long time, he noticed that there was nothing in front of him, and said in surprise: "Damn! Why are things gone? Did this damn thing have wings and fly?"
There was a turbulent wave in his heart, and there was an unspeakable worry.
Despite being on tenterhooks and taking precautions all the way, he still lost the tens of thousands of taels of gold. How could he explain this to his master?
"It's over! It's over! I'm really dead this time!" Zhang Laosan looked depressed and his eyes were red.
Wang Cheng, who was originally in a ball, was suddenly awakened by this sentence and said: "Wait! What did you just say?"
"It's over! It's over! I'm really dead this time!" Zhang Laosan said subconsciously.
Wang Cheng said: "No! It's not this sentence, it's the previous sentence!"
"Why are things gone? Did this damn thing have wings and fly?" Zhang Laosan said.
Wang Cheng's eyes lit up. He didn't look to the sky, but to the big hole on the ground.
Zhang Laosan noticed Wang Cheng's gaze. Although he looked rough in appearance, his heart was very careful and he immediately thought of the key point.
How could so much gold, five flatbeds, and ten horses be lost all at once?
The two looked at each other, then quickly rushed towards the big pit, and kept shooting at the big pit.
One is an ancient warrior with perfect Qi and blood, and the other is a Dacheng realm martial artist. Their attack skills are incomparable to others. Even if they drive an excavator over, they may not be as efficient as them.
After a while, the two dug down another five or six meters along the original big pit.
I saw an underground passage on the east and west sides of the big pit. The passage was two to three meters high and two to three meters wide, just enough to accommodate a flatbed truck.
"Damn it! I have lived in Huangyuan County for such a long time. When did there be such a passage here?" Zhang Laosan sighed.
The passage is long and deep, with no end in sight. This is obviously something that has already existed for us.
Wang Cheng's eyes gradually became deeper. What happened in the past few days was bizarre. He increasingly felt that this small Huangyuan County was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. There might be some predators hidden here.
He hates trouble the most, but often when trouble comes to his door, he can only solve it.
"Walk!"
Wang Cheng didn't talk nonsense, the panoramic eye had been opened, and in a flash, the person had entered the underground passage.
Zhang Laosan hesitated for a moment, then finally followed him and disappeared into the passage.
Unlike other underground passages, which are dark and damp, although this passage is also dark, it is not very damp.
This put another layer of gloom in Wang Cheng's heart, because only underground passages with frequent activities would not be heavy with moisture.
The speed of the two was not fast at first, but then became faster and faster.
They found ruts on the ground, which were obviously left by the five flatbed trucks.
The passage was completely dark, with no light source at all.
Wang Cheng's vision was affected, and he could only see the scenery within a hundred meters, and no more.
After chasing for about a mile, Wang Cheng suddenly called Zhang Laosan to stop.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Laosan muttered softly.
Wang Cheng said nothing and stepped forward step by step.
Zhang Laosan also followed, got closer, and finally saw something parked in front of him.
Five flat cars and ten horses were all left here, but the sacks on the cars were gone, and those sacks contained gold.
Zhang Laosan stepped forward and stroked the flatbed truck and the ten horses, confirming without a doubt that these were the ones he had lost.
Since the carts and horses are here, the gold must be hidden nearby.
Zhang Laosan glanced at Wang Cheng and said nothing, but quietly clenched the sword at his waist.
After all the hard work, they finally got to see the mastermind!
"Get away!"
Suddenly, a huge force pushed him back. He didn't even have any room to resist. He was pushed onto the flatbed truck, rolled over and lay on the ground.
Wang Cheng's body flashed, and a person stood in front of him. He drew his abdomen in and roared out "Tiger Roaring in the Mountain Forest".
"Roar!!"
The powerful sound wave formed a tornado and swept forward, sweeping away more than ten meters in front.
After a while, I heard the sound of "beep beep" falling to the ground, like a heavy rain.
Zhang Laosan got up from the ground and hurried to the front to take a look.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of black stuff. If you look carefully, you can see that there are bats the size of a palm, with red eyes, sharp fangs, and green fur. There are at least a hundred of them.
"Bloodthirsty bat!"
Zhang Laosan's scalp felt numb. These bats were not ordinary bats, they were highly poisonous alien bats.
Their bodies are extremely poisonous, and even a top-notch martial artist cannot survive for three hours after being bitten.
"I heard that this thing is often found in some mass graves and Wannian Grottoes. How could it appear here?" Zhang Laosan was still frightened. If Wang Cheng hadn't taken action just now, he might have ended his life here.
Wang Cheng also couldn't figure it out. Bloodthirsty bats are also a kind of strange beast. They travel in groups and have strong attack power. They rarely move in human territory, and the environment here is not suitable for them to survive.
Because they feed on blood, they cannot survive without blood.
Are there a lot of corpses here?
Wang Cheng looked solemn. Where does this underground passage lead to?
What will be waiting for them at the end of the passage?
The two of them continued to walk forward, even more cautiously, because they knew very well that they were approaching the heart of the underground world.
After walking another hundred or so steps, Wang Cheng suddenly grabbed Zhang Laosan and retreated quickly.
"Boohoo!"
The next moment, a hail of arrows shot from the opposite side.
The black sword hanging on Wang Cheng's waist appeared in his hand, and it was suddenly moved like a fan blade.
"Ding ding ding!"
The feather arrow came, but it was blocked within three feet by the black sword and could not get close to Wang Cheng.
After Zhang Laosan was in a brief trance, he slashed out sword energy one after another, cutting off all the incoming feather arrows.
However, the arrows fired from the opposite side seemed to be endless, giving them no chance to breathe at all.
"retreat!"
Wang Cheng immediately realized that no matter how fast they shot, they might make mistakes, and as long as they made one mistake, they would probably capsize in the gutter.
So they quickly retreated while blocking the incoming arrows.
Fifty steps later, the feather arrow's attack weakened until it disappeared.
Both of them were very strong in martial arts, but they were still badly beaten. Zhang Laosan was hit by many arrows in his chest. If it were not for the protection of the treasure armor, he would have been shot into a hedgehog.
"Damn! What's the point of hiding in the dark and making a sneak attack? If you have the ability, show up and fight me with a real sword and a real gun!" Zhang Laosan raised his knife and cursed loudly.
"Stop saying a few words!" Wang Cheng scolded.
The situation here is unknown. There is only one underground passage. It is so dark that nothing can be seen. Even he himself can only see a distance of a hundred meters.
He didn't actually see clearly how and who shot those arrows that were shot from the opposite side just now. He only saw them clearly when he was almost approaching them.
Zhang Laosan also realized that he was a little impatient and worried: "What should we do? We can't see anything. The situation is not good for us!"
"It's not good for us, and it may not be good for them!" Wang Cheng sneered.
He suddenly thought of something, called Zhang Laosan, rushed back, and returned to the flatbed trucks and horses.
Zhang Laosan was about to ask Wang Cheng what he was doing when he came back, but he saw Wang Cheng take out a fire stick from his body and light a horse's tail on fire.
The horse was immediately in pain, whining and running wildly with its hooves deflated, followed by several horses behind it.
Zhang Laosan still didn't understand what Wang Cheng was doing. He was just an escort. How could he know about the "Fire Bull Formation"?
But he knew that it was just right to rush forward. Wang Cheng told him to rush and he did so. They followed the horses.
The galloping horses were extremely fast, and in an instant they were at the place where they had encountered the arrow rain.
Just like before, when the horse approached, an arrow was immediately shot over.
Many arrows were shot at the horses, but they failed to kill them at once. On the contrary, the severe pain made these horses go completely crazy, and their speed became a little faster.
With these horses blocking the way, the two of them finally no longer had to dodge as hard as before.
After a few breaths, Wang Cheng finally saw the real situation ahead.
There was no one, only one wall, and the wall was dotted with holes, from which the arrows were fired.
"boom!"
"boom!"
…
Finally, after running for a hundred or ten meters, several horses almost exhausted their life force and crashed into the wall.
The huge force caused the wall to collapse with a bang, accompanied by several screams.
Without the wall blocking it, it was no longer dark ahead, and there was finally light.
…
