Section 136: Underground Quest (4)

There was nothing wrong all night, and the next day, Ye Kaihuai and others set out to the dam they discovered yesterday. After another futile result, Ye Kaihuai and others sat there for a short rest.

"Damn it, where is this switch hidden? Could it be hidden on the top of the cave?" Ye Kaihuai sat there and said to himself. As soon as he finished speaking, he looked up subconsciously, and it was pitch black and he could not see anything.

Standing up, Ye Kaihuai looked at the top of the cave and said to himself: "I can't guarantee that the switch is really on the top of the cave."

"Ye Kaihuai, what are you muttering?" Hughes asked strangely.

"Huces, can you fly?" Ye Kaihuai asked with a smile.

"ah?"

*********************************************

"Sir, there is really a switch on the top of this cave?" The guard who knew how to fly in the guard asked Ye Kaihuai suspiciously.

"Don't worry, there must be. We have searched all around but couldn't find the switch. I guess the switch may be somewhere on the top of the hole. After you fly up, you search around. Don't worry, we will all cover you downstairs."

After getting Ye Kaihuai's guarantee, the guard who knew how to fly was desperate and wanted to say no, but it might not work according to other people's intentions. Why was he so mean at that time? When Captain Hughes asked who could fly, what was he doing?

With a depressed mood, the guard slowly took off, held a torch in each hand, and carefully searched along the cave wall to the legendary switch that Ye Kaihuai mentioned.

As Ye Kaihuai expected, after the guard searched along the cave wall for a while, he found a hole dug manually near the top of the cave. There was a switch inside the cave.

"Sir, there is really a switch." The guard shouted loudly to Ye Kaihuai and others who were waiting for news below.

"It's good to have it. Can you try that switch be moved?" Ye Kaihuai shouted loudly to the guard above. The guard who received the order reached out and tried it, but the switch did not move at all.

"No, I can't move."

"That's it, you can come down first and then take someone up and try with you."

"Okay."

The guard flew up with Hughes, and the two of them tried hard together. Finally, the switch began to rotate slowly. As the switch made a "squeaking" sound of gear rotation, a passage appeared on the hole wall below that was only enough for one person to pass through. Everyone cheered. After working hard for more than a day, things finally made some progress.

Arthur was about to take the lead into the passage, but Ye Kaihuai grabbed him, "Wait, I have something to say when Hughes and the others come down."

After Hughes came down, he looked at Ye Kaihuai with a serious face strangely, not understanding how he found the passage. Why did Ye Kaihuai not seem very happy?

"Ye Kaihuai, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

"Ah? I'm not angry."

"Why are you doing with a face?"

"Ah, what I'm talking about later is very important. I think it's better to be serious."

"...If you have anything, please tell me."

"Oh. Well, I heard from me that the passage has been found now, but this does not mean that we can definitely find water. Next, we may encounter danger, so I hope everyone can be more vigilant and not be careless. The switch needs someone to guard it, leaving two people behind, and the rest will go in with me."

The flying guard and another human guard stayed behind. Arthur took the lead, Hughes took two mastiffs to guard the palace, Ye Kaihuai and Colin, Marlin were in the middle, and the seven people slowly walked into the secret passage.

After a long secret passage, Ye Kaihuai and others came to a spacious room and found a place to place oil lamps around to try it. Fortunately, after so long, the lamp oil could still be used. After extinguishing the torch that no longer needed to be lit in their hands, Ye Kaihuai and others began to look at the layout in the room. The room as big as a basketball court was empty, and there was nothing except the eight oil lamps illuminating the room on the wall.

"Ye Kaihuai, come and see what this is?" Ke Lin from a corner on the west side of the room waved Ye Kaihuai over.

"What's wrong with Colin, what did you find?"

"Do you see this switch?" Collin asked, pointing to a button on the wall.

Following Ke Lin's finger, Ye Kaihuai saw two familiar words, "Don't, press." He slowly pronounced these two familiar words. Ye Kaihuai's eyes were a little red because these two words were authentic Chinese characters, two words that Ye Kaihuai thought he would never see again.

"Ah?" Kelin looked at Ye Kaihuai strangely, and at the same time, she had already pressed her little hand and immediately said to Ye Kaihuai: "Why didn't you say it earlier, Ye Kaihuai?"

"..." Ye Kaihuai looked at the unreasonable Collin with a dark face, shook her head, and shouted loudly to everyone: "Be careful, be careful." As soon as he finished speaking, a passage appeared on the wall of the room in the distance. Just as Collin was about to brag to Ye Kaihuai that he had foresight, he heard a "cracking" sound of bone friction coming from the passage.

Everyone's faces changed, and Ye Kaihuai shouted loudly: "Form a formation." Everyone quickly formed a circular formation, waiting for the creatures about to walk out of the passage.

The sound of "cracking" is getting closer and closer. Finally, something came out of the passage. When Ye Kaihuai and others saw it, they couldn't help but take a breath. It was a skeleton. Since the last necromancer was destroyed a thousand years ago, the skeleton warrior who could only be seen in the classics appeared in front of Ye Kaihuai and others again.

Looking at the skeleton slowly approaching like him, Ye Kaihuai and others were secretly sweating. It is not easy to deal with. The skeleton warrior is not strong, but the most troublesome thing is its vitality. Unless it smashes its bones to pieces, it can be reborn again. It is really troublesome.

Just as Ye Kaihuai and others were on high alert, the ten skeleton warriors who were gradually approaching Ye Kaihuai and others suddenly stopped. After a brief hesitation, the ten skeleton warriors who had been in full force actually began to slowly retreat. Ye Kaihuai and others were stunned by the actions of the skeleton warriors, and they didn't understand what happened to these skeleton warriors?

A "guru" sound of swallowing saliva sounded in Ye Kaihuai's ears. Ye Kaihuai looked at Arthur, the owner who had just swallowed saliva, and nodded thoughtfully. The mastiff, a dog tribe, had the biggest hobby to gnaw bones. This can be explained by Ye Kaihuai's question about what weapons they wanted. The collective choice of iron bone sticks. Could it be that the skeleton warriors retreated because of Arthur and the others?

With this question in mind, Ye Kaihuai whispered to Arthur: "Arthur, bring the mastiff guards to approach the skeletons." Arthur Yiyan took the two mastiff guards forward a few steps, and the skeleton warriors on the opposite side immediately had a commotion.
