Book 1: Chapter 110

Book 1: Chapter 110

I looked back at the small gap we had just come through and asked Bai Haotian, "How were these things put in here?"

"I dont know. They were already here when I started working here."

I circled around the goods and then looked back at the gap, "So, if someone comes to pick up the goods, how would they be shipped out?"

"Legend has it that Zhang Da Fo Ye used the Five Ghosts Transportation ritual." Bai Haotian smiled. "Anyway, these things have been here for so many years and no one has ever bothered to pick them up."

I took a deep breath and looked at this spectacular scenethe Mystic Nine in my mind was mostly just legendary stories you heard on the street. But after seeing this place, I suddenly realized that I didn't know how amazing the Mystic Nine really was back in the day.

I went to move forward, but Bai Haotian suddenly took off her jacket and started to take off her pants. I was stunned for a moment before I realized that she wearing a close-fitting diving suit under her uniform. Her figure finally showed a trace of feminine curves.

She opened her backpack, took out a pair of diving goggles, and put them on before looking at me with a little blush on her face.

I was a little confused. I just wanted to check out the warehouse, so why did it suddenly turn into us swimming?

"What are you doing?" I sighed and told myself that with this much drama, I probably wouldnt be bored during my time here.

She handed me something. I took it and glanced down, only to find that it was a pair of swim trunks. "I dont like this kind of sport and the water looks dirty," I said to her very slowly.

"The deepest place Ive ever been was my Uncle Threes trap for me," I said.

I wasnt afraid of diving. My fear of water had been reduced to the bare minimum when I went to the Zhang familys ancient building.

She handed me an underwater flashlight and then dove down. I quickly followed after her. The two of us went down bit by bit, gradually going deeper and deeper. The pool was about twenty-five meters deep, but the goods were huge. As soon as I went underwater, I saw even more goods floating at the bottom.

The most striking thing was a group of colorful jellyfish-like things that were suspended in the water.

Bai Haotian led me over to them and I found that they were actually a group of ancient female corpses. They were wearing western clothes and suspended in the water. I realized that I had seen this kind of thing before.

Behind the female corpses were two huge coffins.
