"Alright, let's go take a look."
Huang Qing hesitated for a moment before nodding. After all, Zhao Yu was very strong, and they could handle any danger. Moreover, her team members were all armed. What was there to be afraid of?
Seeing Huang Qing agree, Zhao Yu took the lead and headed into the depths of the mine.
After this group departed, Qin Hui finally climbed up from the crowd.
"It seems there really are treasures here."
Qin Hui was somewhat surprised, but since he had come, there was no reason to leave empty-handed. He might as well use Zhao Yu and the others as scouts.
Since it was a place of great misfortune, it was bound to be dangerous. Qin Hui had always maintained a vigilant attitude towards unknown dangers.
"This is it."
Zhao Yu pointed to a huge cave and spoke to everyone.
The cave was gloomy and pitch black inside. Even shining a flashlight into it couldn't reveal its bottom.
Moreover, standing at the cave entrance, everyone smelled a pungent odor, like the body odor of some animal, extremely unpleasant.
"Captain Zhao, do we really have to go in?"
A team member hesitated, wondering what might be inside the cave. They weren't like Zhao Yu, with his strength to rely on.
What if there was a giant python in the cave? Wouldn't they be walking to their deaths?
This team member had grown up listening to his grandmother's stories. His grandmother had said that some caves housed ancient pythons or other animals that could eat people!
After one team member retreated, the others also hesitated, feeling a sense of fear towards this unknown danger.
Zhao Yu was not surprised by his team's hesitation. This had a slight advantage.
That is, when they discovered the treasure later, Zhao Yu could take the lion's share, which was the most important thing.
"Captain Huang, what about you?"
Zhao Yu turned and asked.
Huang Qing stood still, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded, "Since we're here, let's go in and take a look."
It was known that Huang Qing had graduated from the police academy and did not have the delicate nature of ordinary women. When faced with difficulties, she was always the first to rush forward. Otherwise, she wouldn't have developed such a fiery temper.
For Huang Qing to back down at a cave entrance like this was obviously impossible. If there were really treasures inside, wouldn't she make a fortune?
"You few, guard the entrance here and don't let anyone else in."
After giving the order, Zhao Yu was the first to crawl into the cave. Although the smell inside was unpleasant, as a martial artist, Zhao Yu could tolerate it.
Huang Qing, however, took an oxygen tank with her. This would eliminate any potential problems. An oxygen tank would not pose any burden on Huang Qing's physical strength.
After the two of them entered, the other police officers remained guarding the cave entrance.
Even though they were just on watch, they still felt a little nervous.
The path inside the cave was rugged. There was a slight breeze at first, but after about ten minutes, the wind stopped.
No wind meant something: this cave was a dead end. If it wasn't ventilated, it meant there was only the exit they came through.
Zhao Yu could still walk normally, but Huang Qing found it a bit difficult as the ground underfoot was sticky.
To accommodate Huang Qing, Zhao Yu had to slow down and walk beside her.
"Zhao Yu, I feel like this place is too eerie. Why don't we leave first?"
Huang Qing said with some apprehension. It was too dark here, and the ground was covered in sticky substances, which gave her an inexplicable sense of fear.
Zhao Yu frowned slightly. This situation had indeed exceeded his expectations.
"Alright, let's leave first."
Seeing that the path ahead had no end, Zhao Yu had no choice but to choose to leave. It would be more prudent to invite an expert team to investigate later. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
But as soon as the two of them turned around, a gust of cold wind blew past them from behind. In the darkness, it seemed like a black shadow flashed by.
Both of them blinked, dismissing the sight as an illusion.
However, after taking a few more steps, the same thing happened again, and this time the black shadow was a few steps closer.
This time, Huang Qing drew the pistol from her waist.
Her intuition told Huang Qing that she might have encountered something.
Zhao Yu was also on full alert, and he felt a little anticipation in his heart, as if some danger was about to arrive.
"Hiss hiss!"
The black shadow finally stopped, blocking the only way for them to leave.
When the black shadow revealed itself, Huang Qing and Zhao Yu finally saw the source of the danger.
It was a large lizard, entirely black. If not for its bright red tongue flicking out, it would have been difficult to spot it in the darkness.
No wonder the miners kept disappearing. Judging by the lizard's size, it had probably swallowed them all.
The appearance of the giant lizard filled Huang Qing and Zhao Yu with fear. It was the first time they had ever seen such a large lizard.
Even the lizards in nature documentaries weren't this big. Most importantly, the lizard's eyes were fixed on them, as if a delicious dinner had delivered itself to their doorstep.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Zhao Yu knew that he couldn't panic at this moment. If he panicked, Huang Qing would panic even more.
The giant lizard flicked its tongue and suddenly exerted force with its limbs, pouncing towards the delicious little snack.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two shots were fired, but when the bullets hit the lizard, they were deflected and couldn't harm the giant lizard at all.
Such a large lizard must have been a mutation.
Seeing that the bullets were ineffective, Zhao Yu swung his fist and met it head-on.
Bang bang bang!
A series of crashing sounds echoed in the cave.
Zhao Yu threw dozens of punches, but he felt as if his fists were hitting cotton. They caused no damage to this giant lizard.
Instead, Zhao Yu was heavily thrown to the ground by the giant lizard's tail, breaking several of his ribs.
The giant lizard flicked its crimson tongue, its eyes full of disdain.
Clearly, these two little snacks were a bit troublesome to eat.
The snacks it ate before were sweet, but today's snacks were spicy.
"Huang Qing, run quickly, we're no match for it."
Zhao Yu was panicking now. He regretted not being so decisive in venturing in.
This lizard was comparable to the Monster from the Han River in the movies; it was not something he could contend with.
"No, I can't leave you."
Even though she knew her pistol couldn't do any damage to the lizard, Huang Qing still raised her pistol and fired resolutely.
Click, click, click!
When the bullets in the pistol were all fired, Huang Qing couldn't help but step back. The giant lizard had grown tired of playing and pounced directly at Huang Qing.
Seeing this behemoth pounce, Huang Qing's worldview was completely shattered. In her understanding, she only fought against villains.
When had she ever fought a monster?
These were not forces of the same magnitude.
