Chapter 60: Sudden Sound of Water Online!
He walked to the top of a mountain, Qin Feng strangely found that the grass and trees here grew very luxuriantly, with just the dry grass being half a centimeter taller than those at the foot of the mountain. Qin Feng didn't know why this was so, but looking at the compass needle, there was nothing unusual, so he didn't take it to heart.
As he ventured further ahead, Qin Feng found that this place had an unusually large number of stones, enough to build an underground chamber without any issues. The winding and rugged stone woods were disorderly yet harmonious, with a hint of intense mystery.
The surrounding hills are getting higher and higher, as if the terrain has collapsed, and after going deep, it's unclear where to go. The tall pagoda trees block out the sun, making the sunlight unable to shine here, emitting a cold and gloomy atmosphere.
"Where should we go?" Coming under a big stone, Qin Feng was so tired that he sat down and asked Zhou Qin.
Zhou Qin took out two bottles of mineral water, handed one to Qin Feng, and after drinking a few mouthfuls with a "gulp gulp" sound, he then took out a compass to determine the direction.
"Thank goodness for this compass, or we would have gotten lost long ago."
"My god, this is crazy!" Zhou Qin had just finished saying the previous sentence, then looked at the compass and immediately turned pale, muttering a confused curse.
"What's wrong?" Qin Feng asked hastily upon seeing this.
"Look, the compass has gone haywire..."
Taking the compass from Zhou Qin's hand and taking a look, Qin Feng almost fainted on the spot. Frowning and scolding: "Damn it, how could this be?"
"You're a pro in this line, I should be asking you instead!"
"The compass is like this, could it be..."
"What's wrong?"
Qin Feng guessed: "It means that there is a very strong magnetic field affecting this place. Wait, let me take a look at the compass!"
As he spoke, Qin Feng quickly checked the state of the compass again to verify his guess, and indeed, it was as he had expected. This place did have a very strong magnetic field affecting its surroundings.
"I think this must have been designed by Liu Qi in advance, just to let the intruder get lost after entering." Qin Feng analyzed seriously, stroking his chin.
"Liu Qifang is really stubborn, actually doing something like this." After scolding for a few sentences and finally venting her anger, Zhou Qin asked, "Then what should we do?"
"Stay here for now, let me take a look at the map and verify it."
Qin Feng took out the map and looked at the geographical layout around him, then compared it with the map again. He found that this mountain wall was very similar to the hill on the map, and there were three other hills around, which were also similar. This couldn't help but make Qin Feng think of the value of this place, so he simply pulled Zhou Qin and continued walking forward.
The farther I walked, the less snow there was. After walking for about a mile, the surroundings had become very dry, with no signs of snow or melting water, and even the land was parched. The weeds and rotten leaves of the locust tree and Chinese parasol tree on the ground were already several layers thick, and when I stepped on them, they made a rustling sound.
Qin Feng and Zhou Qin no longer had a compass or a map, but they continued to venture deeper. Qin Feng felt that the treasure was here, but he couldn't find any clues. If only he could find the end of the thread, then the problem would be solved easily.
After walking for a while, suddenly came from not far away a babbling brook sound.
The sound came from the woods on Qin Feng's left, and the two looked at each other after hearing it, both thinking of the river and its markings on the map.
"Is there a river? Let's go and take a look!" Qin Feng said.
Along the sound, the two people soon found the source of the sound.
"It's really a river!" Qin Feng exclaimed excitedly.
"So we just need to follow the direction of the river and we can understand what's on this map." Zhou Qin also suddenly came up with a burst of energy, knowing that the treasure was right in front of him, and he could find it with just a little more effort. So he burst out his own vitality, pulling Qin Feng along as they walked along the river.
The river is not big, it should be formed by the melting of glaciers. Along the river, Qin Feng and Zhou Qin quickly found the place where Liu Qi marked the treasure according to the map.
"Is it here?" Zhou Qin looked around at the disorderly rocks and withered grass, the rolling hills stretching out like a chaotic burial ground.
Qin Feng looked at the map and said, "It should be around here. The place marked on the map as the treasure location is very similar to this place. Look, there's a river source next to it, it should be here..."
Although he wasn't entirely sure, Qin Feng was seventy percent certain that this was the place. The only thing he hadn't figured out yet was why the river water flowed into the stone, and whether it was because the soil here was loose and had a low density.
Anyway, in short, there are many places here that can be used, and Liu Qi Fang will not let people get this treasure so easily, whether they are good or bad.
After a careful search, Qin Feng suddenly found a hole with a diameter of about half a meter in the midst of the chaos. Perhaps due to years of neglect, the surrounding area had grown thick with weeds, completely covering up the entrance. If Qin Feng hadn't been so meticulous, he would have easily overlooked it.
"Shall we go in?" At this moment, looking at the pit, Zhou Qin could no longer hold back the urge in his heart, clenching his fists and feeling itchy inside.
"Wait a minute, we can't determine what's going on here yet, acting rashly would be very dangerous."
Qin Feng stopped Zhou Qin and turned around to the edge of the pit, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it in. He lay down and listened with his ear to the side, and after more than ten seconds, he finally heard the echo. It seemed that this pit was indeed very deep.
"This pit is at least over ten meters deep!" Qin Feng stood up and roughly calculated before saying to Zhou Qin.
"More than ten meters deep!?" Zhou Qin was extremely shocked, he didn't expect that there would be a cave so deep, and Liu Qifang really knew how to hide things.
"It seems we need a rope to get down." Zhou Qin said a little later.
"Alright, let's go back and find some rope first, we can come again tomorrow!"
Just as Qin Feng was about to leave after finishing his sentence, "Wait!" Suddenly, Qin Feng's urgent voice interrupted Zhou Qin's words.
Zhou Qin's eyes widened as he hastily asked what was wrong, but Qin Feng didn't rush to answer him. Instead, he walked over to Zhou Qin's side and looked around at the dense grass and trees before saying, "Listen, do you hear that noise?"
This gloomy place was originally quiet, but just as Qin Feng said that, Zhou Qin also heard a "dada" sound. The sound is not far away and is getting bigger and bigger, as if it's approaching oneself.
The two of them held their breath, neither asking the other why. Their inner conflicts and speculations made them restless, fearing not the ten thousand possibilities, but the one-in-ten-thousand chance. Qin Feng stared with wide eyes and furrowed brows, carefully examining the rustling of the wind and grass around him, his right hand instinctively reaching into his bag to grab the dagger he had just bought back. It seemed like he sensed something approaching him.
