Chapter 186: Underground Expedition

If not, why would Hong Dali laugh so loudly? He could only blame on his own luck for being struck at by Lin Chuyin.
Who was Lin Chuyin? She was a member of the Holy Grail organization, a technological geek with an IQ of more than 180, someone even the Nation had to carefully protect. One could tell this just from her inventions. Other things aside, as long as they kept her happy, and she gave them one or two of her inventions—such as the Holographic Projection Technology—the Nation just had to research and upgrade it, and it would be a precious treasure.
This Holographic Projection Technology would be very useful in both military and civilian use.
Also, Hong Dali had never forgotten that this lass could even build a rocket by herself.
Towards such a person, how would a small character that relied on the influence of others be able to afford to anger her?
Now that he was beaten to the ground by Lin Chuyin, he could only blame his own luck.
The commotion here had already alerted the surrounding security guards. Instantly, a large group of people rushed forward. Seeing that a fight was about to break out, two voices suddenly sounded out. “Dali, what are you doing here?” “Young Master Dali, do you need my help?”
Without question, the person who could ask this was naturally the formidable fighters—Mu Zixiao and Geezer Wang.
Upon seeing them, Hong Dali was delighted and said, “You guys came at just the right time. This is my territory, but they are taking it over without any documents to show. What kind of action is this? This is robbery, thievery! They are breaking into my home and stealing from me! Beat them up! Beat them till they die!”
The others were still fine, but Mu Zixiao was definitely the type that when he heard there was a fight, his eyes would shine.
Normally, he would definitely not dare to fight with others when his master was around. But now, with Hong Dali’s approval, things were different. He immediately rushed in and started fighting the security guards. Geezer Wang obeyed Hong Dali’s orders and went in like a gust of wind as well.
Once the two of them started, the three male lackeys and driver Wang Mingyu naturally didn’t hold back. Also, there was the emotionless Lin Chuyin...
To be honest, those security guards were only normal, human standard. Facing Hong Dali’s fierce fighters, they could only be at the receiving end. Within two minutes, all of them were lying on the floor.
At this time, Hong Dali’s classmates all exclaimed:
Ling Yi: “What the heck, kungfu! This is real kungfu!”
Du Xinzhen: “I simply made a prediction and know that they can only lose when they go against Brother Dali!”
Lang Hao: “What the heck, aren’t they the ‘Old and Young Killers’ in the video posted online!? I’m actually seeing them in person now! Brother Dali, you are too awesome!”
Ji Zhiruo: “Sister Chuyin is really formidable!”
Hong Dali was delighted and was making sound effects for them. “Adadada! How dare you go against Brother Dali!”
Tang Muxin softly said, “Dali, is this fine? If they look for other people to help them later...”
Hong Dali scorned and said, “There’s nothing to be afraid of. Everything needs to have a reason. Do they have any document? They don’t, right? Have their superior given my family money to expropriated the land? No, right? They have no document and never spent money, so this is still my family’s territory. It isn’t against the law for me to go back to my own home! If they really push me, I will build a house and just stay here!”
When he said that he would build a house here, he wasn’t joking!
After all, the environment here was graceful. If he really built a villa that had an underground cave filled with stalactites, just thinking about it felt interesting already...
By this time, the path was mostly cleared. Those security guards were like rice straws being cut down by a scythe, falling in pieces here and there, posing no threat at all to the fighters.
Dumbfounded by looking at the entire process, Director Lin’s head was full of cold sweat. He carefully asked, “Young Master, is there a need to go to such an extent? Those are civil servants, after all. Hitting them...”
“There’s no such thing.” Hong Dali strangely said, “I never hit anyone! I swear on God, I’m a good person—did you see me hitting anyone!?”
If you were a good person, would there be any bad person left in this world?
However, after Lin Hao carefully thought about it, he had to admit that Hong Dali didn’t hit anyone. Just now, from far away, he only saw a girl with blue hair and two ponytails making the first move. As for the other security guards—they couldn’t only take the beating without any complaints...
Forget it, I shan’t care about this, there is more important stuff.
Lin Hao grabbed Hong Dali’s elbow and softly said, “Young Master, I heard that there is an underground cave with stalactites here. I think that this is very suitable to use for the cave-in you mentioned for the movie. Therefore, I wanted to ask if you...”
“Oh, hearing you say this, I just realized this too.” Hong Dali was dazed. “This is good, this is good. Let’s just use this cave for that scene!”
Lin Hao secretly thought to himself, See, I said that there was no need to find another location for that scene. Success!
They chatted as they walked and very quickly reached the entrance to the cave.
Hong Dali looked at the dark cave, smiled and said, “We’re finally here. This is the place, right? Inside is the natural stalactite cave? Let’s take a good relaxation today, we shall see what’s in this mysterious cave.” Saying so, he looked at Lin Chuyin. “Chuyin, is your searchlight ready? Let’s go in now and take a look?”
“Oh, it’s ready.” Lin Chuyin didn’t look at all like she just finished a fight. She took out the searchlight from a bag that one of the lackeys was carrying for her and went in first, leading the way.
At this time, it was already close to 7:00 PM. But it was already the 29th of May—daytime was slightly longer. Some faint light came in from the cave entrance. Those civil servants who quarantined this place still had some use to them, so there were already lighting devices placed in the cave. Their group slowly went in, following the steps of the person in front.
The cave was at mid-mountain about 20 meters above sea level. Once they entered the cave, they could obviously feel it going downwards.
No one knew where this mysterious cave led to, but they were certain that it went all the way deep beneath the earth. By that time, there wouldn’t be any lighting available other than what they prepared. It was just as Lin Chuyin predicted, the lighting equipment must be prepared beforehand. Otherwise, they would be blind down there.
Inside the cave, the ground was quite level, and there actually wasn’t any rotten smell. Also, the air was very dry. Tang Muxin softly said, “Looks like there must be a tunnel inside where air can flow through in here. If not, the air wouldn’t be this fresh.”
They continued moving forward for about 30 to 40 meters before Lin Chuyin suddenly said, “Oh, it’s getting steeper. About 15 degrees.”
Tang Muxin, who was following behind her, softly asked, “Sister Chuyin, you can even tell this?”
“Yes.” Lin Chuyin was emotionless. Naturally, she wasn’t afraid. As she walked, she said, “I just calculated, we have walked a total of 46 meters in. There were five turns. When our feet land, we will slightly incline forward.”
“Sister Chuyin is really incredible!” Tang Muxin enviously said, “I didn’t felt anything at all... ah!”
As she spoke, she suddenly gave a sound of surprise, shocking Hong Dali, who was behind her. He asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I was just scaring you, hee hee!”
Tang Muxin suddenly grinned and wittily said, “You were shocked by me just now, right?”
Hong Dali was speechless and said, “You can scare someone to death doing such a thing!”
Tang Muxin pouted. “It’s just that the atmosphere was getting a bit gloomy.”
Just as she said that, Lin Chuyin, who was walking in front, insipidly said, “That are two paths—one towards the left and quite wide, and the other downwards and quite narrow.”
“The downwards one.” Hong Dali instantly decided. “Let’s go and see what there is down there first. Then, when we return, we can go through the left path.”
Since he had spoken, no one objected. Therefore, everyone followed the path downwards.
Mu Zixiao excitedly said, “Dali, do you think that there will be something like a martial arts secret manual inside?”
“You are going crazy from thinking about martial arts all day, aren’t you?” Hong Dali said depressingly. “This is the real world, not a movie. You really think that there is a statue of a fairy that will let you obtain a ‘Nine Suns Divine Art’ if you kowtow a thousand times?”
Speaking of which, Hong Dali wasn’t in the slightest concerned with what was inside this mysterious cave. Mu Zixiao’s dream items, elixirs, and martial arts secret manuals—these were meaningless to Hong Dali.
His aim in coming here was really simple. It was purely for fun...
At this time, Lin Chuyin suddenly stopped. Using the searchlight to illuminate their surroundings, she insipidly said, “It’s obviously much steeper here, and it’s also much larger than expected.” She then illuminated the roof. “Oh, speaking of which, these stalactites seem really normal. They are much smaller than expected.”
However, Hong Dali said, “This place is really big, did everyone bring something to eat? Don’t end up so hungry that you can’t even walk back. That will be funny.”
Everyone looked around at one another and all shook their heads. Instead, Director Lin Hao smiled and said, “I brought quite a lot of snacks...”
This foodie!
They then continued downwards. After not sure how long, Hong Dali suddenly realized that the path was quite steep now. He took in a deep breath. The air was still fresh, there wasn’t any sense of that muffled feeling one would get when they were deep below the earth. He felt strange that the air was actually still very fresh deep down here. This should be impossible.
After another short distance, the sound of water flowing came from the front. Lin Chuyin fastened her pace and, shortly later, they saw a small stream cutting their path.
“Wow, there’s actually a small stream here! Dali, this water must be very tasty, right? It definitely isn’t contaminated!” Tang Muxin cheered and squatted down to drink some water. However, Hong Dali pulled her back. “Be careful, we don’t know where this stream comes from. You might drink something dirty down your stomach.” Saying so, Hong Dali scared her by saying, “For example, snake’s eggs, tadpoles...”
These kinds of slippery creatures were very frightening for females. As expected, Tang Muxin screamed and hid in Hong Dali’s arms.
Hong Dali touched his chin in satisfaction. Speaking of which, the fragrance coming from Xinxin’s body is really quite nice...
