It's clearly a crossover game, but the system insists it's a pirate game.

After jumping into the well three times, I finally found the entrance.

Zhou Ye explored a distance ahead and, finding no danger, went up to the well. He called his wife and mother-in-law down and told them not to force their way in. Zhou Ye then stayed outside the well for a quarter of an hour. When no one came, he plunged back into the well.

"Husband, is it very dangerous in here?"

Wanwan was quite obedient. Even though Zhu Yuyan was extremely excited, she still held onto her master tightly, preventing her from forcing her way in, and waited for Zhou Ye to come down.

"This is the masterpiece of the master craftsman Lu Miaozi. Don't you think it's dangerous?" Zhou Ye tapped her on the head, but accidentally tapped his mother-in-law's head instead. It really wasn't intentional; it was just too dark here!

Zhu Yuyan held back: "What do we do now?"

"Follow me closely, and be ready with the antidote at any time. Let's get through quickly!"

After Zhou Ye finished speaking, he crouched down and walked forward. There was no other way; his height was not suitable for this tunnel, and since they were still on the outskirts of the underground palace, it was not convenient to light torches. So he could only move forward by using his Armament Haki.

A moment later, Wanwan and Zhu Yuyan heard the sound of a mechanism being triggered, followed by a series of clanging and banging noises, which startled Wanwan: "Husband, are you alright?"

"It's alright. Watch your step when you come over. You didn't take your shoes off, did you?"

Wanwan didn't reply. Since the time she started studying again, she no longer needed to go barefoot every day. This time, she was very obedient and put on thick deerskin boots.

When they came over, they found broken arrows scattered all over the ground; needless to say, they had been hit by a trap.

"Oh my god!"

The commotion came so suddenly that it startled Zhu Yuyan: "What happened?"

"It's nothing, there's just a hole here. Be careful when you come over later, don't fall in... Is Lu Miaozi crazy? Why is he digging a hole like that?"

Zhu Yuyan didn't want to talk anymore. She looked at her apprentice beside her and asked, "Is he like this all the time?"

Wanwan sighed, "This is already considered good."

The master's maternal instincts were immediately ignited: "Are you very tired?"

"It's alright, but I'm still quite happy. There's something new every day!"

"call out!"

The master withdrew his message of concern.

If the timing hadn't been so inappropriate, Zhu Yuyan would have liked to lightly slap herself for asking such a pointless question!

After walking a few steps, sure enough, there was a large hole in the ground. The bottom of the hole was covered with sharp barbs more than three feet long. Under normal circumstances, if a person fell in, they would definitely not survive.

Just as the master and apprentice were about to curse Lu Miaozi, Zhou Ye's voice came from ahead again: "Hey? Holy crap!"

"What's wrong this time?"

"It's alright, it's just a trapdoor. Be careful when you come over, don't hurt your feet."

This passage is quite long, and along the way, Zhou Ye triggered every single mechanism, no matter where it was installed!

In other words, when Lu Miaozi was designing the mechanism, he didn't expect to encounter someone like Zhou Ye. So, his design was that if the mechanism was violently destroyed, the underground palace would self-destruct. But Zhou Ye didn't violently destroy it; instead, he triggered all the mechanisms naturally. He could keep triggering the arrow-shooting mechanism until all the arrows missed their mark...

Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan listened to the sound for half an hour before they came over and found that the pile of arrows on the ground was taller than their calves!

This son-in-law is incredibly resilient! What kind of external martial arts does he practice?

Could it be the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill of Shaolin?

Heaven must be blind! This son-in-law has absolutely no Buddhist nature, so how did he manage to cultivate this Buddhist skill?

In fact, Zhou Ye could have remained completely silent. If he were alone, he could have kept quiet the whole time in the same way.

But not now. He has his wife and mother-in-law with him. Even if he doesn't care about his mother-in-law, he has to care about his wife. All the junk in this machine is a tetanus-infecting weapon. No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't do anything about germs. Isn't Goku from Dragon Ball awesome? He can transform into a Saiyan in stages one, two, and three, and he can destroy a planet with one punch, but he still died from a heart attack.

So he had to give verbal prompts, and he also had to be careful how he did it so as not to trigger his wife's rebellious side. He was really worried sick!

"Alright, there are no more traps ahead, you can come in now."

They didn't know how long they had walked, but after hearing Zhou Ye's call, the master and apprentice quickened their pace and soon arrived at a relatively spacious underground chamber. Zhou Ye had already lit torches, illuminating the chamber brightly.

They've gone quite deep. Now they've lit torches in the underground chamber, so they don't have to worry about the light leaking out. In a little while, it will be dawn outside.

"Wow!!!"

Wanwan came in and scanned the room, her eyes wide with delight. Zhu Yuyan did the same, but frowned: "The Evil Emperor's Relic isn't here?"

"Of course not. This is just a fake treasure vault to fool fools. The real treasure vault is not here. The Evil Emperor's Relic is in the real treasure vault."

That's more like it!

Just as Zhu Yuyan was about to nod, Wanwan coiled around Zhou Ye like a beautiful snake, her voice both charming and dangerous: "Husband, are you calling me an idiot?"

"Yes, you are my little fool."

"Hmph! How annoying~"

Zhu Yuyan didn't know what "eating dog food" meant, but she felt like burping...

After letting Wanwan off him, Zhou Ye fumbled around on the wall for a while, then opened the mechanism leading to the true treasure vault. He once again took the lead and went inside. After a while, he returned, and the three of them, carrying torches, arrived at the central stone chamber of the treasure vault.

"Wife, come here, there's a map of the treasure vault here, take a good look at it."

Zhou Ye blew the dust off the stone table and then asked Wanwan to look at the map, while he led Zhu Yuyan to the other side of the stone table: "The Evil Emperor's Relic is in this stone table. I'll take it out for you after Wanwan memorizes the route. But I have to tell you in advance that it might not be what you think."

Zhu Yuyan was very excited, but also very nervous.

Excitingly, she was about to get her hands on the Evil Emperor's Relic; she had finally gotten it before everyone else.

What made him uneasy was that, given Zhou Ye's familiarity with the treasure vault, what he said might be true, and he might not be able to use the relic to enhance his strength.

But she quickly rallied. It didn't matter that she couldn't use it herself; as long as the item was in her hands, the enemy couldn't use it either. The situation would remain the same—it wouldn't get better, but it wouldn't get worse either.

After Wanwan finished looking at the map and memorizing everything, she came over and pestered Zhou Ye: "Did you... already know?"
