C690 Great Risk
When everyone finally reached the ground, they realized that the road ahead was extremely difficult to tread.
Perhaps because of the geography of the garden, there was a lot of water underground.
However, after they went in deeper, the puddles gradually split and there were fewer potholes.
Huo Ming and the others, each of them holding a torch, led the way.
The light from underground was very dim, especially after entering it. It was almost impossible to see one's fingers in front of the other.
Of course, it was not the first time Huo Ming and the others had entered here. The four Qian Feng young men had a sense of responsibility, protecting Chen Yu and the others behind them.
In fact, from Huo Guangming's point of view, going deep into the underground maze was a very risky thing to do.
Although they were very confident that they would be able to escape, in this sort of secret cave, no one knew what would happen. Many times, they would be unable to take care of themselves, let alone caring about others.
The group didn't move at a fast pace, because most of the time, they needed to stay at the crossroad to determine their route.
Chen Yu finally understood why this place was called the underground maze. It was because there were simply too many forks in the road here.
Chen Yu was glad that they met Huo Guang and the others, if not it would have taken them a long time to explore the maze.
Finally, after walking for about two hours, they arrived at a very wide area.
In front of him was a large underground building complex.
Large areas of stone walls separated the area into separate spaces, and on the walls hung oil lamps that seemed to burn endlessly.
In the dim light, he could see strange relief sculptures protruding from the stone walls.
At first glance, it was as if he was standing in the middle of a strange city, with roads leading in all directions. However, he did not know which direction to take.
"Here, we have already reached the depths of the underground maze. If we keep going forward, we might encounter monsters, so I can only bring you guys here." Huo Guangming said softly.
"But before, didn't you all say that your manager had once gone ten thousand meters deep?" Chen Yu asked.
"That's because our leader's team is very strong, which is why we are able to reach a depth of ten thousand meters. With our current strength, three thousand meters is our limit, we absolutely cannot continue any further!" Huo Ming reminded.
"If you don't want to continue walking, you can sell us the map." Chen Yu said softly.
"That won't do. This is a map that my Qian Feng Escort Office bought with my life. How can I sell it to others?" Huo Ming immediately shook his head.
"One hundred thousand!"
"I'm not selling!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"I'm not selling!"
"Five hundred thousand!"
"No …" "Sell it!"
"One million!"
"No …"
"2 million!"
When Chen Yu called out the price of two million, the complexions of Qian Feng and the few young men at the escort company clearly changed.
He said that he would definitely not buy the map that the manager had painstakingly bought for him. It was just that the price was not enough.
The Qian Feng Escort Office just wanted to use this map to return the money, and when Chen Yu raised the price to a level that they could not reject, they would not be afraid of it.
After all, a person like Huo Ming who was leading the way to the maze wouldn't be able to earn a lot of money, but would instead have to take a great risk.
Now that someone offered two million for this map, they couldn't think of a reason not to sell it.
With these two million, even if they didn't do anything to lead the way, it would be enough!
Knowing that these people were tempted, Chen Yu took the opportunity to strike the iron:
"I only have one chance. If I miss it, no one will offer as much as I do!"
At this moment, Huo Guangming had a look of hesitation on his face.
Meanwhile, his friend beside him secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, hinting him to sell it as soon as possible.
A moment later, as if he had made a difficult decision, Huo Guang looked at Chen Yu and said, "I would like to know, what do you want this map for?!"
"Of course it's to enter the depths of the maze, and get rid of the monsters that are harming the palace!" Chen Yu smiled slightly.
After hearing what Chen Yu had said, Huo Guang's eyes flickered unsteadily.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
The next moment, Huo Guangming said with an expression as if he was going for broke, "Let me be honest with you guys. In the deepest part of the cave, there are monsters that even the top ten masters of the empire are helpless against. Even so, do you guys still have the confidence to kill them?"
"Of course, otherwise why would we spend such a large amount of money to buy the map in your hands!" Chen Yu said indifferently.
Hearing that, Huo Guang looked at Chen Yu and the others seriously, as if he wanted to see everything clearly for himself.
However, with his strength, it was impossible for him to see through Chen Yu and the rest.
Because of this, Huo Guang's heart seemed to be strengthened.
He gritted his teeth: "We are not selling the maps!"
"AHH!"
"AHH!"
"AHH!"
After hearing Huo Guang's words, his companions couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"However, I can show you the way!" Huo Guangliang said, "But, I have a condition!"
"Tell me about it!" Chen Yu said.
"If you really kill the underground monster, I hope you can share a piece of our spoils with us." Huo Guang said carefully.
"Oh!?" After Chen Yu heard this, a smile appeared on his face. "But, in a fight against a monster, I might not be able to guarantee your safety."
"As long as you are willing to bring us along, we are willing to take the risk!" Huo Ming gritted his teeth.
"Sure, deal!" Chen Yu nodded.
Chen Yu admired Huo Guang's display of courage and foresight.0
Not everyone would be able to find out when the opportunity presented itself.
However, Huo Guangming had not only discovered this opportunity, but he had also firmly grasped it.
It had to be known that the Emperor himself had admitted that as long as anyone could deal with the monsters, they would be able to go to the Imperial Palace and obtain any treasure there!
Although the map of the underground palace could be exchanged for two million.
However, this money did not belong to Huo Ming and the others.
Two million. A large portion of that amount would be handed over to the escort company. At most, only a few percent of it would remain in their hands.
However, if they could borrow the power of Chen Yu and the others to become meritorious for killing the monsters, they could obtain a treasure of their own.
The difference in value was far more than tens of thousands!
When Huo Ming's companions realized what was going on, excitement flashed in their eyes!
Even though this trip underground was fraught with great dangers, once they succeeded, their futures would definitely experience earth-shaking changes.
And this kind of change was definitely worth it for them to risk their lives for!
