The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Chapter 718: Minutes before going down the cave

Ten minutes later, Xiaoze's mouth was sealed tightly with tape, and Xu Yiyu handed him and Shandao to Tianlin.

Of course, this is the state after having been taught a lesson.

Tianlin held Shandao, who no longer wanted to talk, in his left hand, and Xiaoze, who was Shandao's accomplice and assistant, in his right hand. He maintained a posture that looked a little weird to an ordinary person, bowed slightly towards Xu Yiyu, and saluted gracefully.

"Miss Yi Yu, please wait here for ten minutes with everyone else. I will deal with these two people as soon as possible."

"Okay, we must deal with them properly."

Xu Yiyu glanced at Shandao's face, who no longer wanted to talk, and then glanced at Xiaoze, who was in Tianlin's other hand and seemed to want to say something, and finally nodded at Tianlin.

Having obtained the approval of the host, Tianlin did not waste any more time. He quickly nodded to the treasure hunting team, then easily carried the two people into the dense forest behind him.

Jiu watched Tianlin's figure disappear from afar, not knowing what to feel.

Xu Yiyu had just given Shandao and his accomplices harsh enough punishment, and Tianlin, as Xu Yiyu's right-hand man, would certainly not let them go easy when "dealing with" these two.

But just seeing the culprit who indirectly killed more than a dozen of his companions getting the end he deserved so easily, he couldn't help but feel a subtle emotion in his heart.

He is not a saint. He does not want this man to lose his life so easily. He hopes that Shandao will experience all the sins suffered by his companions a hundred times a thousand times, and then be severely punished by the law.

Gu Yue's gaze turned to Jiu's back at this moment. Noticing that Jiu's shoulders slumped slightly, Gu Yue walked forward silently and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Jiu looked back at his savior and forced a smile.

"I'm fine, Mr. Gu."

"I know that whether your feud with that guy has come to an end or not, you should move on now."

Gu Yue raised his eyebrows, withdrew his hand, and did not say anything more to persuade him.

Taking advantage of the last ten minutes of rest for the action team, Gu Yue greeted Xu Yiyu, then walked to the entrance of the cave that had just been blasted open by Tianlin's punch, and carefully observed the door-sealing stone that was now broken beyond recognition.

Jiu also walked a few steps behind to the cave entrance and looked slightly inside.

Seeing the body of his old friend lying intact about 20 centimeters from the cave entrance, he tried to calm himself down, took out a clean waterproof cloth from his backpack, walked forward around all the broken stones, and carefully moved the body of his old friend onto the waterproof cloth.

Lin Yi, who had just watched Hong Hong being escorted out of the mountain by Yan Ke, took a few deep breaths and also walked to the cave entrance to help Jiu, who had difficulty walking due to a leg injury, move the corpse out of the cave entrance.

Because it had been pressed by heavy stones for a long time, the structure of the corpse was still relatively intact, but some bones that were in direct contact with the boulders had signs of fracture, and the face was almost unrecognizable.

Jiu did not act pretentiously with Lin Yi at this time, but just silently accepted his help until the corpse was transferred intact to the ground near the cave entrance.

He pursed his lips as he looked at his old friend who had left him the chance to escape, and his jawline subconsciously tightened a lot.

After helping to move the body, Lin Yi walked away quietly, leaving Jiu enough time to deal with his emotions.

After that, every time he walked further inside, it was actually equivalent to Jiu tearing open the scabbed scar in his heart again. Now was the last bit of personal time he had before going in, and Lin Yi didn't want to disturb him.

Gu Yue, who was nearby, put several pieces of the door-sealing stone into his pocket, then stood up and walked to the cave entrance. He took out a tinder from his backpack, lit it, and with a little force, threw it into a deeper part of the cave.

Although the cave entrance has been opened for some time, the action team cannot rush down into the cave if there is not enough oxygen inside.

When he came to Yidali before, he saw Jiu near the cave entrance. At that time, the cave entrance had been sealed tightly by countless huge rocks, and he had never seen the situation inside the cave.

The lit tinder fell to the ground several meters away from the cave entrance. After rolling a few times due to inertia, it stopped at a position far away from the entrance but just within Gu Yue's line of sight.

The people in the practical operation group were also busy. After noticing that Gu Yue had taken some action, they took out some tools from their backpacks that were useful for the current situation and walked to Gu Yue to start sampling.

The tinderbox lay quietly burning in the cave. Gu Yue did not make a sound. He just stood there quietly watching the burning of the tinderbox for a while. After a while, he spoke to his teammates around him.

"There is plenty of oxygen in the cave, so there is no need to worry about breathing problems."

After Gu Yue finished speaking, he stepped back a few steps and did not interfere with the sampling work of the practical team. Instead, he took out something that looked like a tortoise shell from the secret pocket of his coat, and also took out a few copper coins that looked like they showed some signs of age.

Xu Yiyu was originally planning to discuss with Xu Cheng some preparations before entering the cave, but his attention was attracted by Gu Yue's actions a little further away.

Xu Cheng followed the sisters' gaze and looked back, and also noticed Gu Yue who seemed to be making some preparations near the cave entrance.

She turned her gaze back and met Xu Yiyu's.

The two of them lowered their voices at the same time and did not approach Gu Yue, who was doing something with the tortoise shell and copper coins.

"That young master of the Gu family... is he preparing to tell fortunes?"

"It looks like it. The tortoise shell and copper coins in his hand don't look like simple things. They have already shown some signs of use."

While the two were communicating, their eyes were not always fixed in Gu Yue's direction, but they reached a consensus tacitly in these two brief exchanges.

They were not surprised at all when Gu Yue told them the fortune at this time, as if they had tacitly agreed that it was a very normal thing for the eldest son of the Gu family to happen.

Chinese culture is profound and extensive. Although some methods cannot be explained by the current level of technology on Blue Star, Xu Yiyu has always believed in a saying that has been circulating among the younger generation for a long time.

The end of science is metaphysics.

Things that seem to be metaphysical at present may simply be impossible to understand with the current level of technological development.

The five people from Beijing University naturally noticed Gu Yue who was using the tortoise shell for divination. Except for Minghong, everyone else watched Gu Yue's actions quietly with curious eyes and did not step forward to disturb him.

Students like them who study history and archaeology will more or less believe in metaphysics. It’s not that they are superstitious, but they all understand a fact that many people may not understand nowadays.

The things passed down by our ancestors have gone through thousands of years of wind and rain and vicissitudes and have been passed down to this day. They must be extraordinary things.

No matter what the result is, just trust it dialectically.

Gu Yue watched the changes in the tortoise shell after heating as if no one was around. After waiting for a few minutes, he poured out the several copper coins he had just put into the tortoise shell and observed them one by one.

After observing the tortoise shell and the copper coin, Gu Yue frowned slightly, pinched his knuckles and counted, the doubts and worries in his heart became more and more serious.

——He had never seen such a strange hexagram.
