Through the book: The villain’s son’s stand-in

The journey to dig for treasure is lonely and dangerous. Fortunately, there are players nearby to accompany you to death, so it doesn't seem boring.

However, by the time they got closer to the location of the relic, they were only left with each other.

Brother Zhan No. 1 looked at the dark hole in front of him, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, and asked with a trembling voice: "Brother Nuo, are you really going in from here?"

John was concentrating on comparing the direction and position at this time, so he naturally ignored his abnormal attitude.

Staring at the entrance of the cave, he looked back at the map and said firmly: "It's probably just ahead."

"Is there a problem?" John looked at Brother Zhan in confusion.

Brother Zhan forced himself to endure the fear in his heart and shook his head quickly: "No problem, I'll go ahead and explore the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fighting brother floated forward and walked in front.

John was extremely confused, but he suppressed his confusion for the time being and followed quickly.

In a cave that is only one person high, except for the very beginning, there is light. The further you go in, the darker the light becomes.

Fortunately, their destination was not far from the cave entrance, and a beam of light came out of the rock crack on the side, illuminating the small area in front of them, so they were not deterred.

"arrive!"

John saw that his position coincided with the red dot on the map, and there was obvious excitement in his voice when he spoke.

When Brother Zhanyi heard this, his stiff body relaxed a little.

finally reached. This is the truest thought in Brother Zhanyi's heart at this moment.

They trotted to the light pillar. John looked up at the crack above his head and murmured: "It must be here. The game prompts it very clearly."

Brother Zhanyi also nodded thoughtfully.

The two of them made a decision in their hearts, but they did not start digging immediately. Instead, they carefully cast stones and asked for directions to ensure that there were no surprises around them.

Boom boom boom!

The stones were rolling forward, and the entrance of the cave seemed unexpectedly deep, but no surprise came.

John discovered on the way here that the demon seemed to particularly like the strange starry sky.

In other words, part of their power comes from the starry sky.

Therefore, most demons bathe in the starlight and kill humans when they encounter them, instead of hiding in the nooks and crannies and secretly watching humans.

But in order to make sure nothing went wrong, he still led Brother Zhan to conduct a cautious test.

The two of them held their breath and concentrated for a while. When they saw that there was still no movement around them, they turned to look at John silently.

John thought for a moment, nodded, and said in a low voice: "Let's move quickly, and leave as soon as we finish digging."

Brother Zhan also eagerly agreed to the proposal, and then the two of them followed the previously scheduled arrangement, with one person digging and the other alert to the surrounding patterns, taking turns to start digging for treasures.

Since the two of them avoided the demon along the way, or relied on other players to lure the demon away while sneaking away, they only consumed two pairs of hemostatic creams to maintain their health at a healthy level.

Therefore, there is no sense of lag in their digging movements now.

Bang Chi Bang Chi!

The shovel sank into the slightly solid soil, and with Brother Zhan's heavy breathing, the soil was lifted up and piled up next to the entrance of the cave.

Brother Zhan was digging hard. In order to get out of this hellish place as soon as possible, he worked extra hard with every shovel.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the shovel encountered resistance, and he was so happy that he quickly dug up the surrounding area to check.

After a while, Brother Zhan suddenly shouted upward in a low voice. John observed the surroundings vigilantly, and finally lowered his head to meet Brother Zhan's joyful eyes.

John suddenly realized something, and his face showed joy. After observing carefully, he also jumped into the hole that was only calf high.

At this time, the first brother fighting was lying on a place, pushing away the remaining soil with his hands.

After John came down, he couldn't wait to pull with him.

Soon, a wooden box that had mostly decayed was completely dug out.

At this time, a gap suddenly appeared on the relic map, which probably meant that it had been excavated.

"Go out and have a look," John said.

Brother Zhan No. 1 nodded heavily.

So, after putting the wooden box into the storage bag, the two left back to back and returned to the entrance of the cave.

This cave is located on the right side of the railway. There are obvious traces of artificial digging at the entrance of the cave. It should be an abandoned mine.

The two squatted in the shadow of the mine entrance and carefully opened the wooden box.

At this time, two items popped out of the wooden box instantly.

A page of paper and forty copper coins.

"Forty copper coins, this trip is not a loss."

For this result, Brother Zhanyi can still accept it.

John immediately beamed when he saw this.

This is just a relic of a first-level demon with so many copper coins. If it were a second-level demon, I might not be able to make a fortune right away.

With a happy mood, John curiously read the contents on the page.

[Dear Mattie, I have been working away from my hometown for a long time. How are you doing recently? I miss you very much. Even though I am here, my soul has already drifted towards you. However, recent attacks have been frequent and letters cannot be sent. Even the envelopes used to cover the letter paper are not left. My thoughts can only stay with you temporarily. The wooden box given to me is temporarily buried underground.

...If I unfortunately die one day, I hope to come back to you with the call of your soul.

...When searching my memory, remember to dig out this wooden box. Inside is all the wealth I have accumulated, hoping to soothe your sorrow of losing me.

Love you, Mickey. 】

"It turns out that the devil's name is Mickey, but what the hell is he writing about? It's about summoning souls and searching memories. That Mattie doesn't look like a good thing."

John also fell into deep thought. The content of this letter was indeed strange.

Especially the soul that Mickey specifically mentioned.

At the beginning, John thought this was just an exaggeration, but from some subsequent descriptions, he felt more and more that the soul call belonging to Mickey's hometown might really be able to bring back Mickey's soul.

However, it seems that Mickey's hometown... is definitely not normal!

Just as the two were happily discussing the page, a dense black shadow appeared behind them.

Under the clearer light, the red light in the dark shadow's eyes looked even more eerie.

At this moment, the black figure floated and suddenly disappeared into the shadow where the two of them were.

John felt a chill in his body, but before he could react, his neck was held tightly. He tried to open his mouth to make a sound, but couldn't say a word.

Before his health reached zero, there was only a creepy laugh echoing in his mind.

"Jie Jie Jie!"
