Chapter 896
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes along the way, so she could see every corner on and under the ground. There could be caves or tunnels after all.
A short while later, a secret passage appeared in Gu Ning’s sight. It was two meters high and around a meter wide.
Seeing it, Gu Ning walked inside.
The secret passage led back to the direction of the ancient house, but Gu Ning didn’t know the specific location of its end because it was too far away. However, she found that it led towards the sea.
They walked ahead for around 20 meters, before reaching an empty cavern.
It was very high with its top being about 30 meters above the ground. It was also very large.
At the bottom of it was a puddle, and a boat was stopped on it. Piles of wooden boxes were placed in the boat.
The second Gu Ning found out what was in the boxes, she got excited. This was a treasure trove!
There was another underpass in the cavern, which was much wider and higher than the previous one. Its height was about five meters and the width was a little more than three meters, which was big enough to accommodate the boat.
The second underpass was a narrow waterway that led to the seaside.
Gu Ning knew that there were rocks at the seaside, so this boat couldn’t leave.
Luckily, water flowed freely beneath the waterway to the sea, so Gu Ning could get inside by swimming.
“Ningning, what’s wrong?” Leng Shaoting was a little worried when Gu Ning gazing into space for a long time.
“Oh, nothing.” Gu Ning turned to look at him.
Since Gu Ning said that she was fine, Leng Shaoting didn’t ask further.
Even though Gu Ning ached to get those valuable things, she had to find He Siyang first, and she would come back again when she was free in the future. They only had an hour left now, and they had to find He Siyang as soon as possible.
In the beginning, Gu Ning was confident that they could find He Siyang within two hours, but now she was losing her confidence.
He Siyang escaped, so Gu Ning was anxious that something bad might have happened.
Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning went to the reefs by the sea, and saw two wolves walking around a sharp rock. It seemed like they were looking for something.
Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes at once, and was frightened the moment she saw what was there.
Just below the reef, there was a black hole, which wasn’t large. It was about a meter long and a meter high, but half of it was filled with cold water. And in it was a young man with a pale face trembling from the cold. He was still conscious without serious injuries or illnesses.
The man was precisely He Siyang who they were searching for.
If Gu Ning didn’t have a pair of Jade Eyes, nobody would find out that He Siyang was inside even if he died. Ordinary people wouldn’t go near because of the wolves.
“Wolves are sensitive to blood and smells. Why don’t we go down there to have a look?” Gu Ning said.
“Sure.” Leng Shaoting followed Gu Ning, walking over.
As for the two wolves, they weren’t afraid of them at all.
Once the two wolves sensed that humans were coming closer, they turned to glare at Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, then howled loudly. They were saying that they were the rulers of this place, and forbade other animals from coming closer.
The two men who were also looking for He Siyang stopped without delay after hearing the wolves’ howl. They were frightened and turned in another direction at once.
Even He Siyang who was hiding under the reef trembled in fear.
If it hadn’t been for the wolves, he wouldn’t have been hiding under the reef all this time. The cold was killing him.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked towards them step by step with a dagger squeezed in their hands. They fixed their eyes on them, trying to scare them away.
Although Leng Shaoting could directly shoot them with a gun, they didn’t want to kill them if they could chase them away. If they refused to leave, he would consider shooting at them. They were violent animals, but they were also innocent.
The two wolves felt Gu Ning’s and Leng Shaoting’s strong power, so they subconsciously stepped backwards. However, they didn’t run away. Instead they attacked Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting the next second.
Leng Shaoting had to pull out his gun and shoot one of them. With a loud gunshot, a wolf fell on the ground and rolled a distance away.
A gunshot!
He Siyang was stunned, and he knew that someone was coming with a gun. It was a good thing for him if the wolves left, but he didn’t know whether the person was his enemy or friend, so he remained silent.
The two men who came here to search for He Siyang were also scared. They looked at each other, but didn’t know what to do next.
“Why was there a gunshot? None of our team has a gun,” Man C said.
“Is there a stranger on this island?” Man D said.
“Do we need to have a look?” Man C asked.
“I don’t think we should.” Man D thought that they should protect themselves first.
“Right, we better hide first,” Man C said.
Leng Shaoting moved his gun to aim at the other wolf. Gu Ning also threw her dagger to hit the wolf.
Under the attack of a gun and a dagger, the wolf fell on the ground in pain.
Although the two wolves weren’t dead yet, they couldn’t get back to their paws.
