"Whoohoo-"

suddenly.

A sudden gust of wind arose!

The snowflakes, which were originally only the size of salt grains, had turned into cotton-sized snowflakes... The wind and snow were also mixed with a lot of ice shards! The wind made the members of the archaeological team raise their arms to shield their faces.

at this time.

Suddenly, a "plop" sound came from the edge of the hot spring pool!

"Cuckoo-"

Bubbles the size of ping-pong balls rose up on the water's surface in response!

Wait for the cold, howling wind to pass by.

The archaeological team members then moved their arms and opened their eyes to look ahead... only to find that the place where Wang Ping had been standing was completely empty! Even the equipment he used for geological surveying had fallen into the hot spring pool.

"Wang Ping?!"

Shao Wei rushed forward to check if Wang Ping had slipped and fallen into the pool, since the gust of wind had been quite frightening, and Wang Ping was standing on the edge of the pool.

There is a real possibility of accidentally falling into the water!

But Qin An raised his hand to stop him.

"Brother Qin'an... why are you stopping me? This is a matter of life and death! It's freezing cold on Changbai Mountain! Even though Wang Ping fell into the hot spring, he'll be frozen solid in minutes if he climbs out! Old Zhang, call the rescue team right away!"

As Shao Wei pushed Qin An's hand away, he turned back to Zhang Yunfeng and told him to call for help immediately.

They saw Shao Wei still walking towards the hot spring pool.

Qin An said calmly, "Wang Ping didn't fall into the hot spring pool; he was pulled in by something dirty."

really!

Professor Shao, who had always been decisive and efficient, was shocked to hear this!

His feet instantly and unconsciously retreated.

But he was still somewhat unwilling and said, "Then... then are we just going to stand by and watch? Aren't we going to think of a way to save Wang Ping? We can't have someone die before we even get into Chi You's tomb!"

Qin An naturally understood the implication in Shao Wei's words.

This is asking him to find a way to rescue them!

After all, as the leader of the archaeological team, Qin An couldn't just stand by and watch his team members die tragically, could he?

however.

Qin An was also puzzled at this moment!

He clearly used the Fuxi Pre-Heaven Bagua to calculate that the entrance to Chiyou's tomb was right here!

But Wang Ping said the bottom was solid?

Later, his killing intent sensed that Wang Ping had been pulled down by something dirty in the hot spring pool!

Whether it was their own deduction or the filth that appeared in the hot spring pool, it all confirmed the conclusion that Chi You's tomb was located beneath this hot spring pool.

That can only mean one thing—Wang Ping lied!

And that's exactly what puzzled Qin An!

Why did Wang Ping lie?

Could he be one of the gravediggers?

After thinking for a moment.

Qin An still felt that it was too early to definitively conclude Wang Ping's identity.

He first had Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan continue to survey the geology around the hot spring pool using geological survey equipment. Then he took out his Black Gold Ancient Sword and placed it by the pool for the two of them to guard.

Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan were a little scared!

But then I saw Brother Qin An right beside me.

They can use geological survey equipment with confidence and boldness!

Viewers in the live stream were completely baffled by this scene.

[No way... Wang Ping was pulled down by the filth! Instead of going into the water to rescue him, Lao An was flirting with girls by the pool? Is that really reasonable?]

Is this still the Lao An I know?

[You are not worthy of being a streamer! I will unfollow you!]

[Exactly! But then again... these two new girls are quite attractive~ Butler! I need all their information within 30 seconds!]

[Does bro think he's some kind of young master?]

[Name: Xie Wenjing! Graduated with a master's degree from Haicheng University of Geology and Geosciences in 2022; Wang Yanyan! Also graduated with a master's degree from Haicheng University of Geology and Geosciences in 2022...]

[666 has a new love and has forgotten the old one]

............

By the hot spring pool!

Qin An stared intently at the water's surface.

He also chatted with Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan about Wang Ping's life and deeds. After a conversation, Qin An discovered that Wang Ping's life experience was as ordinary as could be.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with it!

After a while.

Xie Wenjing said with some surprise, "Brother Qin An... the rock structure beneath this hot spring pool is quite loose! It's possible that the mountain has been hollowed out from below!"

Hear this.

Qin An finally confirmed that Wang Ping had lied!

He instructed the archaeological team to stay away from the hot spring pool and wait for any unforeseen events.

Qin An, however, entered the hot spring pool alone!

A splash was heard as it entered the water.

Under the worried gazes of Jiang Liuli, Gu Wuyan, and the others, Qin An swam deeper into the hot spring pool, where the water temperature was at least 40 degrees Celsius!

It feels warm and cozy when you swim in it.

However, the hot spring pool is about 10 meters deep!

Moreover, there is a stone wall above...

The sunlight couldn't get in, so it was impossible to see inside!

I swam in for about two or three minutes.

The stone wall above the hot spring pool has just ended.

Qin An subtly poked his head out of the water, cautiously surveying the surroundings, and discovered that it was entirely a cave.

"Puff-"

Qin An got up and walked out of the hot spring pool.

The Qilin blood within his body began to boil automatically, drying his clothes! He had looked at the bottom of the hot spring pool while swimming earlier, but did not find Wang Ping's drowned body.

It must have been that filthy thing that brought Wang Ping into this cave!

Qin An searched for Wang Ping inside the cave.

They didn't find Wang Ping until they turned over a black rock.

He lay behind the black stone, his lips pale and his body soaking wet. Qin An went forward and checked his breathing, finding that he was still breathing, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they're not dead!

But just as he was about to perform CPR on Wang Ping...

His killing intent sensed that a pair of eyes were staring at him from behind!

Qin An turned around suddenly!

A crawling monster, resembling a three-year-old child and entirely black with a reddish tinge, was curiously watching him from behind... The creature had long hair and long ears! Its bloodshot eyes seemed to be bleeding!

"What kind of filth is this?"

Qin Anxin had doubts.

Though his face remained impassive, his hand subtly reached for the black and gold ancient sword on his back, thinking to himself, "If this bastard dares to pounce on me, I'll cleave him in two with one stroke!"

It seemed to have heard Qin An's thoughts.

That filthy thing didn't even try to pounce!

It jumped onto a black rock and looked at Qin An curiously... while occasionally making the babbling sounds of a child learning to speak.

Hear this noise!

Qin An seemed to have thought of something.

His expression suddenly changed!

This filthy thing is a water ghost from the Classic of Mountains and Seas!

Wangliang is the son of Pan Rui, the ancient tribal chief!
