Chapter 248 He Needs Your Blood! (1/2)
”What time is it…”
A Miao rubbed her eyes.
”It's just past six.” Shen Xinglan came out of his sleeping bag and put on his clothes before he let A Miao sit up. ”It's cold this morning. Remember to wear a coat.”
She went to the lake and washed her face with water. A Miao looked around. There were no birds or insects. It seemed that time stood still, even the sound of the waves could not be heard.
It was quiet all around, except for the sound of their tidying up. There was no vitality here, which made people depressed unconsciously.
”It's time for breakfast.” Shen Xinglan touched her forehead. ”If you don't go to have breakfast now, Wei Meng will eat up all the cans.”
A Miao smiled and said, ”She has a good appetite and it was funny that she complained yesterday.”
Because there were no animals on the island, Wei Meng could not make full use of her special skills. The only fish were brainless, single-celled animals that could not receive her brain waves at all.
”Sir, the road ahead is almost the same as here, but there are no mountains so high.” Yu Sihan's subordinates went to explore the road early in the morning. When they knew that the journey ahead was still not easy, they all accelerated.
”Let's go.” Yu Sihan put on his hat. ”We must arrive there before dark.”
On the way ahead, the atmosphere seemed heavy. Everyone was on their way, and nobody said a word. Even during the noon break, they didn't relax. Everyone seemed to be suppressing something.
”If we arrive at the treasure site in the evening, we only have one night's time and we must return tomorrow.”
A Miao and Shen Xinglan rested in the shadows. Shen Xinglan lowered his voice. ”According to the previous plan, the time for the anesthetics has passed halfway...”
”The turtle might wake up at any time after tomorrow night.” A Miao nodded. ”I hope everything will go smoothly after we find the treasure.”
Shen Xinglan hugged her and said, ”Close your eyes and rest for a while.”
They continued to walk in the afternoon, and at about four o'clock, the first few of subordinates suddenly shouted.
”Sir! Here we are. That's the cave!”
A Miao and the others felt relaxed at that time. Ouyang Jin ran a few steps and turned his head to Shen Xinglan and shouted, ”Yes, here we are!”
”There are no signs of human activities.”
On the back of a stone hill, a cave as tall as a man was obviously visible in front of the group. Le Yi looked around at the marks. ”It seems... we are the first visitors to this giant turtle island.”
When he said that, he gave Yu Sihan a significant look.
”Let's go in!” Yu Sihan did not say much.
Shen Xinglan tied one end of the rope to his waist and hung the other end on A Miao's belt.
”Don't be afraid!” He held A Miao's hands tightly.
A Miao also held his hands tightly and said, ”Hmm!”
Yu Sihan's subordinates turned on several searchlights at the front and three people walked side by side in the cave, which was less than two meters wide. Ouyang Jin and Le Yi walked at the back. Xiao Yue was behind A Miao. Jiang Quanyu took her to walk in front of Ding V and Wei Meng.
”It seems that this giant turtle rarely dives into the sea,” Wei Meng said from behind.
That was because the cave was not wet, or even unlike a normal cave with moss or anything. It was more like an animal cave, dry and ventilated.
”It's easy to find this place. If anyone ever found the giant turtle, he must have arrived at this cave.” A Miao felt that it might be inaccurate for Le Yi to say that there was no trace of anyone here before.
Shen Xinglan said, ”Have you forgotten how the giant turtle came into being?”
”...” It was brought out by the sea snake.
”I think nobody in the world knows the existence of the giant turtle except that fellow.” Shen Xinglan stared at Yu Sihan, who was walking ahead.
A Miao went on to say, ”Not to mention the giant turtle, but the unlucky sea snake as well!”
No one knew exactly where the giant turtle usually was or how it got here. It occurred to A Miao that when they left, maybe they could follow the giant turtle and see where it went.
”If everything goes well, Yu Sihan will do that.” Shen Xinglan could tell what she was thinking by looking at her face. ”I'll go with them then. You and Wei Meng can return first.”
A Miao thought of something and lowered her voice. ”Are Shen I and Shen II coming soon?”
”Isn't it said that someone who got pregnant will be foolish for three years?” Shen Xinglan picked up his eyebrows and said, ”Why are you smart instead?”
A Miao stared at him. Her previous tension disappeared because of his joke. The man noticed that she was relaxed, so he curled his lips and continued to drag her along.
”Sir, there is a door in front!”
It was unknown how long they had been walking. The cave suddenly became bigger. There was no road ahead. There was only a stone gate.
”Do you know how to open it?” Ouyang Jin touched the stone gate but found nothing. If there was not a gap in the middle of the gate, it would not have been identified as a door.
A Miao secretly praised the wisdom of the ancients, who made such a smooth stone gate with their hands alone, which was beyond the level of present artificial technology.
Yu Sihan stepped forward to put his bronze mirror jade pendant on the stone door and began to move it from the top. When the bronze mirror jade pendant was moved to a certain place, the door suddenly sunk down with a click.
”It's stuck.” Wei Meng kept staring at it.
The bronze mirror jade pendant was well embedded in the stone door.
