The water monkey came and went quickly. Apart from the blood mist that had not yet completely dissipated, there was no sign of a water monkey around Luo Lie and Wu Jie. Even the water monkey assassinated by Wu Jie was dragged into the pile of bones by his companions.

Although Luo Lie and Wu Jie were bold, they did not dare to follow the water monkey to go into the bone pile to find out.

Luo Lie saw a huge face in the white bone trench. He turned on the waterproof lamp he carried with him, and the light beam illuminated the dim underwater world. The face was a huge statue of the warrior's head. Luo Lie initially judged that this statue should have been located at the bow of the ship at first.

On the statue is a samurai mask. Although it has been hundreds of years since the sun was sunk to the bottom of the water, the two horns on the mask still shine golden. This should be the Japanese pirate ship that transported the treasure back then.

There is a hole in the left eye of the warrior statue. The hole is about two meters in diameter and can accommodate an adult through it. Luo Lie was still hesitating, but Wu Jie had already taken the lead in drilling into the left eye of the statue.

Luo Lie was worried that he would make a mistake, so he hurriedly followed. The beam of light shone into it, and a golden reflection suddenly appeared in front of him. The interior of the statue was decorated with gorgeous gold foil. The two of them had reached the bottom without swimming too far. There were many gold bricks scattered at the bottom. There was a hole that went straight to the bottom of the river near the center. The hole was obviously dug by external force.

Luo Lie smelled the dangerous aura and saw the blood mist that had not yet dissipated in the water. The water monkey who had just escaped in panic just now should have entered the cave. Wu Jie's persistence made Luo Lie quite passive. After all, they were at the bottom of the Pujiang River. If this cave was dug by the water monkey, I still don't know how many water monkeys were hidden in the cave. There are only two of them at present, so the worst possibility must be considered.

Fortunately, Luo Lie's concern did not happen. Shortly after they entered the cave, the direction of the cave began to be slanted upwards. The two of them dived in the water for about ten minutes and actually reached the water surface. The water surface should be level with the Pujiang River outside, but it was not the place they came. Wu Jie took the lead to climb to the shore. Luo Lie came to the shore, took off his hood and took a breath of humid air, looked around, and saw that the surroundings were filled with porcelain and gold and silver.

Wu Jie whispered: "This place should be located directly below Yupu Pier."

Although Luo Lie had a strong sense of direction, he still couldn't compare to Wu Jie. He nodded and said, "Those monkeys probably couldn't live in the water for a long time, so they dug a hole at the bottom of the water, leading to the bottom of the Yupu Wharf. I didn't expect that there was a different world below the wharf. If I had known this, I would have made a hole directly from the wharf, so I would have saved the diving in from the water."

Wu Jie said: "This may be the nest of the water monkey. You must be careful and tell me what is around you? Have you seen the Zifu Jade Box?"

Luo Lie rarely saw Wu Jie losing his composure like this. He told Wu Jie what he saw. Wu Jie said: "I smell the bloody smell, and those water monkeys should have gone here." He pointed to the front right, and Luo Lie had actually seen the blood on the ground.

There are many wooden boards on the ground, which are old ship-wood unloaded from the wreckage ship. After hundreds of years of not rotting, Luo Lie found that the laying of these wooden boards is still regular. When laid horizontally, each board will be spaced a certain distance. At first glance, it looks like sleepers under the rails. The edges of the wooden boards are very neat, with almost the same length, width and width. These wooden boards should be cut and sawed by tools. If the wooden boards in front of you are laid by water monkeys, it proves that this strange creature already has the ability to use tools.

The difference between humans and animals lies in the use of tools. Luo Lie never regarded water monkeys as the same intelligent life as them.

Wu Jie sniffed, and he smelled fresh blood, proving that the injured water monkey escaped from here. Wu Jie said: "The Purple Mansion Jade Box should be here."

Luo Lie said: "Why did you make such a judgment?"

Wu Jie said: "The water monkey was injured and you cut off one of its claws. It must have gone to the Zifu Jade Box as soon as possible to heal the wounds."

Luo Lie observed the blood on the wooden board under his feet and whispered: "Maybe they are setting up a suspicion array and bring us into the trap."

Wu Jie said: "No matter how smart the water monkey is, it is just an animal. How could they have such wisdom?"

Luo Lie saw that the wooden boards under his feet began to gradually become longer and wider. As the wooden boards changed, the passage in front of them became wider and wider. Judging from the smooth walls around, the entire underground building was built with tools.

Wu Jie said: "This cave is really not small."

Luo Lie said: "There are architects who know how to build a building in the water monkey." He was inspired and saw that the top of the underground building was full of vaults, which proved that the water monkey also took into account the mechanical factors. There were a lot of broken porcelain pieces scattered on both sides of the road. There must be a water monkey using the porcelain pieces to excavate.

Walking further forward, the temperature gradually increased, and a scent of sulfur came to their faces, and a pool appeared in front of them. The pool was steaming hot. It turned out that there was a hot spring deep in the ground. Luo Lie told Wu Jie in time what he saw in front of him.

When I approached the hot spring, I saw a water monkey floating above the pool water, and the blood dyed the surrounding pool water red. The water monkey was the one whose left hand was cut off by Luo Lie. Now the water monkey died because of excessive blood loss and was lying motionless on the hot spring water.

Luo Lie was about to see what was going on, but he saw the turbulent waves of water. He hurriedly retreated with Wu Jie. He just retreated and refused to let go. He saw a huge head leaning out of the hot spring and swallowing the corpse of the monkey in one bite. Luo Lie saw it clearly. The one who swallowed the corpse of the monkey was clearly a giant python. After the python swallowed the body of the monkey, his golden eyes swept over Luo Lie and Wu Jie. It did not have the awareness of attack, but spit out a bright red letter, dancing in the air like a flag.

Wu Jie pointed the thin sword in his hand towards the python. Luo Lie held his wrist and signaled Wu Jie not to act rashly.

The giant python stood up with his head for a while, closed his eyes lazily, and slowly shrank his head back. Soon, it disappeared under the water of the hot spring. Convinced that it had left, Luo Lie said: "Let's go!"

Wu Jie said: "It's strange, how could a big python grow in the hot spring?"

Luo Lie said: "This huge python is usually born in the tropical zone. Perhaps someone will bring it to this place, and the temperature in the hot spring is just right for it to survive. Such a large python has survived here for many years."

Wu Jie said: "It may not be staying inside all the time. It lives in the hot springs when it is cold. You can go out to find food until the weather gets warmer."

Luo Lie thought to himself, in this way, this hot spring is equivalent to the cemetery of the Shui Monkey. After the Shui Monkey died, his companions threw their bodies into the hot spring, and the python swallowed their bodies, which was a unique way of burial.

Wu Jie suddenly stopped talking because he felt that the danger was approaching them, and the danger did not come from the hot spring behind him.

Luo Lie saw more than ten water monkeys climbing along the wall above their heads. This was indeed the nest of the water monkey. Luo Lie and Wu Jie made a decision at the same time that they would not choose to evacuate. If they retreated to the water monkeys, it would be more beneficial to the water monkeys. Even if they went deep into the water monkeys' nest, under the current situation, the decisive battle with the water monkeys is more efficient than in the water.

Luo Lie waved out three flying knives, and the flying knives roared at the camp of the water monkeys. Two water monkeys were shot by the flying knives. They fell from the top into the hot spring. Before they could land on the water, the giant python that had just dived into the water rose from the water again, opened its mouth and swallowed one of the water monkeys in one mouthful. The other injured water monkey swam to the shore. Before it could swim to the shore, Luo Lie raised his foot and kicked a porcelain bottle. The porcelain bottle hit the water monkey in the face. Although the water monkey was not killed by this blow, it could not climb to the shore in time. It was swallowed by the giant python again.

Wu Jie rushed forward, wielding the thin sword in his hand so hard that it was impossible to penetrate the wind and rain. His body was shrouded in a sword light, and all the monkeys who came close to him were caught in the sword.

Luo Lie used his flying knife, which flew in the air under his control, as if being pulled by a rope.

The water monkeys quickly realized that they were no match for the two, and hurriedly dispersed the array. They were not in a hurry to escape, but just kept the distance between them and the two uninvited guests properly. They let out anger howls. Luo Lie looked at the ugly faces of the group of water monkeys, and finally saw their appearance clearly from close observation. These water monkeys were covered with short silver-gray hair, flat face, no whites in their eyes, and all had brown-red eyeballs. There was no nose on their face, only one mouth, with a big mouth, and the corners of the mouth extended to the back of the ears. To be precise, they were not ears on both sides, but fins similar to ears. There were three cracks behind the pair of fins, which were the gills they used to breathe.

Wu Jie couldn't see the water monkeys and couldn't help asking: "Are they ugly?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "No, but the aesthetic view of water monkeys is different from ours, maybe we are the same in their eyes."

A rare smile appeared on the corner of Wu Jie's lips and whispered: "How many more?" The reason he asked this was because when he heard the rustling sound, Luo Lie's expression became severe, because he saw hundreds of water monkeys swarming from their locations from all directions. If these water monkeys attacked them, it would be difficult to win with them alone, not to mention that there are countless water monkeys in this nest, and Luo Lie did not have enough confidence to escape.
