Chapter 690 - 690 688 Underground Treasure 14th Update

690: Chapter 688: Underground Treasure (14th Update) 690: Chapter 688: Underground Treasure (14th Update) Everyone turned toward the source of the sound to see a valley ahead, with the cliff faces on both sides riddled with tightly packed stone caves, hundreds, thousands of them, like a dense honeycomb, raising goosebumps on anyone who looked.

“Looks like those monsters might be hiding in the caves.

Do you want to stay outside or come in with us?” Long Qiuyu turned to Lin Xiao and her group.

“I’ll follow you.”

Despite feeling a great fear towards those caves, staying outside could be worse—what if they encountered zombies?

The three decided to follow Wang Dadong and Long Qiuyu.

The cave was not very big, and inside it was pitch black.

Long Qiuyu took a flashlight from the military backpack Wang Dadong was carrying and crawled into the cave first, crouching low.

Icy-cold droplets of water dripped from the cave walls from time to time, causing a numbing sensation on their scalps.

The deeper they went, the smaller the space became, and thankfully there were no side passages, which would have made it even more troublesome.

“Squeak, squeak!” Perhaps sensing the presence of living beings, the creatures inside the cave started to squeal madly, and tiny green lights began appearing in every corner of the cave walls ahead.

“Instructor Long, what is that?” The flashlight’s beam revealed creatures the size of cats bursting out from inside the cave.

“Don’t be afraid; they’re just giant rats!” Long Qiuyu maintained a calm exterior, but inside she was very concerned.

Rats were not scary, but a large group of rats bigger than cats was terrifying, with their sharp teeth and claws shining coldly in the flashlight beam, and their shrill squeaks causing mental unrest.

Before her words had even faded, a large group of rats charged at them.

Long Qiuyu concentrated her Inner Strength in the palm of her hand and struck out fiercely.

Bang, bang, bang!

The rats hit by the blast of palm wind burst into puffs of blood mist.

The stench of blood was nauseating.

The four continued to move forward when suddenly, Lin Xiao’s face reddened slightly, and she glared angrily at Yang Jian beside her.

Yang Jian, puzzled by Lin Xiao’s glare, wondered if this beautiful Director was hinting at something.

After a while, Lin Xiao glared at Yang Jian again.

Finally unable to restrain himself, Yang Jian said, “Director Lin, why do you keep glaring at me?

It’s quite unsettling.”

Wang Dadong turned around and smiled at Yang Jian, “Yang Jian, you’re not taking advantage of the darkness, are you?”

Lin Xiao’s pretty face turned even redder, as if she was about to bleed.

Wang Dadong glared fiercely at Yang Jian, “Damn it, Yang Jian, you’ve got some nerve—taking advantage of President Lin.

I haven’t even…

pah, I can’t help but want to call you a beast.”

With a look of aggrieved innocence, Yang Jian raised both his hands and said, “I didn’t, I really didn’t.”

Lin Xiao’s complexion turned ugly.

She had felt rather fond of the honest and straightforward Yang Jian, but now she was shocked that he would stealthily take advantage of her and not even admit it.

At that moment, Lin Xiao felt a burning pain coming from behind and couldn’t help but cry out.

“Director Lin, it really wasn’t me.

Look, my hands are here,” Yang Jian said, lifting his hands and waving them.

“It wasn’t me either; I’m walking in front of you,” Zhou Ming also hurriedly added.

If it wasn’t Yang Jian and it wasn’t Zhou Ming, then who could it be?

Long Qiuyu’s expression changed immediately, and she shone her flashlight on the ground behind Lin Xiao.

There, a half-bodied zombie, its face covered in maggots, raised its hand high.

“Ah!”

Lin Xiao, almost out of her mind with fear, somehow found the courage to kick at the zombie’s head.

Because they encountered zombies, Lin Xiao would rather die than walk at the very rear again.

They could only let Yang Jian and Zhou Ming take up the rear.

Through a winding cave, they came upon a spacious stone chamber before their eyes.

Some military uniforms were scattered around the chamber.

It was uncertain what material they were made of, but even after several decades underground, they were still remarkably intact.

“These are the military uniforms of Dongyin soldiers from World War II.

Why would they appear here?” Long Qiuyu picked up a piece of clothing from the ground and said with a frown.

“There’s another stone chamber here.” Wang Dadong pointed ahead and said.

Several people entered another stone chamber, and under the illumination of flashlights, a gleaming yellow light reflected back at them.

Long Qiuyu shone her flashlight around the chamber and discovered it was filled with gold and jewels.

There were also many boxes of military equipment.

It seemed the Dongyin people knew they would be defeated and couldn’t take these things back, so they dug this hole and hid everything here.

Seeing all the gold and silver treasures, Long Qiuyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, and she began to harbor some thoughts.

Could it be that those Dongyin powerhouses came here for these treasures?

“Wow, it’s beautiful.” Lin Xiao casually picked up an agate necklace and couldn’t help but exclaim.

“If you like it, take it.

After all, it is our Huaxia’s wealth; leaving it here would just be a waste,” Wang Dadong said.

He also chose a well-crafted Ancient Sword and pulled it from its scabbard.

The cold air was striking; it was indeed a splendid sword.

Wang Dadong casually tossed the Ancient Sword to Long Qiuyu.

“Instructor, my beautiful, this sword seems pretty good.”

As soon as Long Qiuyu caught the sword, a foul stench assaulted her nostrils, and a Gang Wind suddenly arose behind her head.

“Buzz!”

Long Qiuyu didn’t have time to think.

She swung the Ancient Sword in her hand to block, and the clear clanging sound of metal on metal rang in her ears, nearly causing her to drop the Ancient Sword from the vibration.

A zombie wearing a Dongyin World War II military uniform was roaring, holding a katana, and eying the two menacingly.

The creature’s face was crawling with maggots, only two dark holes were left where its eyes had been, but the katana in its hand still gleamed coldly.

“Damn, zombies can use weapons too!” Wang Dadong exclaimed in shock.

Long Qiuyu’s eyes darkened, and she swung the Ancient Sword in her hand toward the head of the Dongyin Zombie.

Their battle was swift.

Long Qiuyu, who was at the Junior Level of the Superhuman Realm, quickly decapitated the Dongyin Zombie.

With a thud, half of its head fell to the ground.

It rolled clumsily to Lin Xiao’s feet, frightening her so much that she threw herself into Wang Dadong’s arms.

Wang Dadong gently wrapped his arms around the beautiful director’s waist, comforting her, “Don’t be afraid, it’s just a Dongyin Zombie.

I’ll protect you.”

Yang Jian and Zhou Ming, standing to the side, immediately felt envious.

In truth, they too wanted to protect the beautiful director.

At that moment, several more zombies in Dongyin Army uniforms surged out of the cave entrance.

Now armed with the Ancient Sword, Long Qiuyu’s confidence soared.

With her sword light flashing, she swiftly dismembered the approaching Dongyin Zombies.

Suddenly, a gleam of cold light shot explosively towards Long Qiuyu’s neck.

“Instructor, be careful!” Wang Dadong couldn’t help but shout a warning.

Long Qiuyu’s face changed, and she quickly raised her sword to block.

Clang!

A loud metallic sound echoed as Long Qiuyu was pushed back by the enormous rebound force.

They saw a very tall Dongyin person appear before them, wielding a Dongyin Samurai Sword.
