After saying that, the old man turned and left the pawnshop.

Hu Bayi said, "Brother Huo, we have to take a long-term view."

Wang Kaixuan said, "What are you afraid of? At worst, we can just give it a try!"

Huo Jilin said, "Two brothers, no matter what, I am grateful that you are willing to face it with me."

In the next few days, the three began to study the runes on the boots and looked for clues everywhere.

One day, they found an ancient book on a used bookstall, which seemed to have records related to the boot runes.

Hu Bayi said excitedly, "Take a look, maybe you can find the key to solve the puzzle."

Wang Kaixuan couldn't wait to open the book, and the three of them put their heads together and studied it carefully.

At this time, a mysterious man in black appeared at the door of the pawnshop and watched them silently...

Huh!

Just as Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Huo Jilin were looking for clues in the ancient books found on the used bookstall, the mysterious man in black quietly walked into the pawnshop.

"What are you looking for?" the man in black suddenly said in a low and hoarse voice.

The three were startled by the sudden voice and raised their heads.

Hu Bayi looked at the man in black vigilantly and said, "Who are you? Why are you asking?"

The man in black chuckled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm just interested in your business."

Wang Kaixuan stood up and said loudly, "Humph, stop playing tricks here, just say what you want to say!"

The man in black said slowly, "That boot is not something you can control."

Huo Jilin frowned and said, "What do you know?"

The man in black said with a flickering look in his eyes, "I can help you unlock the secret of the boots, but you have to promise I have a condition. "Hu Bayi asked:" What are the conditions? "The man in black lowered his voice and said," After finding the treasure, I want to divide it. " A text in the book said: "This is the key to solving the runes." The three of them looked at it, but found that Huo and Huo asked in doubt: "What does this mean?" The man in black smiled: "This is an ancient password, only I can interpret it." From you, if you don't want to waste time, listen to me. After some effort, the man in black finally deciphered the meaning of part of the rune.

"According to this, we are going to a place called Ghost Valley." The man in black said.

Huo Jilin asked: "Ghost Valley? What is that place?"

The man in black said: "It is a dangerous and mysterious place. It is said that many people have never come out after entering."

Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva: "So scary? Then should we go?"

Hu Bayi said firmly: "Go! We have come this far, we can't retreat."

So, the three followed the man in black and embarked on the journey to Ghost Valley.

Along the way, the environment became more and more dangerous.

"This place is really evil!" Wang Kaixuan complained.

The man in black said: "Be careful, there may be traps ahead."

As he was talking, Hu Bayi suddenly shouted: "Stop!"

The ground in front was covered with spikes.

"How can we get through this?" Huo Jilin said.

The man in black thought for a moment and said, "I'll go over and explore the way first."

He carefully avoided the spikes and successfully walked to the other side.

"Come one by one." The man in black shouted.

Hu Bayi went over first, followed by Huo Jilin, and finally Wang Kaixuan.

Just when Wang Kaixuan was about to reach the other side, a spike suddenly bounced up and stabbed him.

"Be careful!" Hu Bayi stretched out his hand and pulled Wang Kaixuan over.

Wang Kaixuan was frightened and pale: "It's almost over."

Continue to move forward and encounter various strange mechanisms and obstacles.

"What the hell is this place?" Wang Kaixuan said.

The man in black said, "We're almost there, hold on."

Finally, they came to a cave.

The man in black said, "The treasure may be inside."

Hu Bayi said, "Everyone be careful."

Walking into the cave, there was a pungent smell.

"This smell is wrong." Huo Jilin said.

Suddenly, a group of bats flew out and pounced on them.

"Ah!" Wang KaiThe bats were scared and ran away.

Hu Bayi shouted: "Don't run around, use torches to drive them away!"

Everyone lit torches to drive away the bats.

After finally getting rid of the bats, they heard a low roar again.

"What is it?" Wang Kaixuan's voice trembled.

The man in black changed his face: "No, it's a monster guarding the treasure!"

A huge monster rushed out of the darkness.

"Everyone disperse!" Hu Bayi shouted.

The monster pounced on them, Hu Bayi and Huo Jilin picked up weapons to fight the monster, and Wang Kaixuan and the man in black helped on the side.

After a fierce battle, the monster was finally defeated by them.

"Finally solved." Wang Kaixuan sat on the ground.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly showed a hideous smile: "Haha, the treasure is mine!"

As he said, he rushed to the depths of the cave.

Hu Bayi shouted: "No, he wants to take the treasure alone!"

The three hurriedly chased after him.

The man in black was holding a treasure chest and was about to open it.

Hu Bayi said, "Put down the treasure chest, you traitor!"

The man in black said, "Don't come over, or I'll destroy the treasure chest."

Just as the two sides were deadlocked, the cave began to shake violently.

"Oh no, it's going to collapse!" Huo Jilin shouted.

Seeing this, the man in black was so scared that he dropped the treasure chest and turned around and ran away.

Hu Bayi said, "Don't worry about the treasure chest, get out first!"

The four people ran out desperately and escaped just before the cave collapsed completely.

"Damn it, he ran away." Wang Kaixuan said.

Hu Bayi said, "Forget it, as long as we are alive, there is still a chance."

Huo Jilin said, "Yes, let's go back first and make a long-term plan."

The three of them set out on the way back with regret and fatigue.

...

Back in the city, Hu Bayi, Wang Kaixuan and Huo Jilin found a quiet place to sit down and discuss the next countermeasures.

Wang Kaixuan said angrily: "That man in black is so hateful. He actually wanted to take the treasure for himself and almost killed us all in that cave!"

Hu Bayi frowned and said after thinking for a moment: "Don't be angry first, Lao Wang. I don't think this matter is that simple. The man in black seems to know the Ghost Valley and the treasure very well. It doesn't seem like he learned it by chance."

Huo Jilin nodded and said: "Brother Hu is right. I also think there must be some conspiracy behind this!"
