Chapter 90 5.18 Entering the Treasure Cabin
"Tim, don't do that." Another muscular man with tanned skin patted him on the back.

After he finished speaking, he extended his hand to them with a smile: "My name is Peter. Actually, we watched your performance last time and appreciated it very much. Tim actually likes you very much, and he always praises you behind his back. He is a man, but he has a bit of a personality. strangeness."

Tall Tim pursed his lips and turned his face away.

Another man has a friendly face: "My name is Harry. The three of us have loved adventures and extreme sports since we were young."

"My name is Yeager, and this is my fiancée, Miss Linton."

Linton nodded slightly as a greeting.

"We know." Peter laughed. "The treasure is not important. It's worth getting to know you today."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Yeager smiled and nodded.

"How long have you been here?" Linton asked suddenly.

"It didn't take long for us to take a look at the house." Harry said, "There is a door in front that we can't get in, and there is a window next to it that we can't get in."

Yeager and Linton walked to the window, only to see that the thick branches were intertwined and blocked the entire window glass.

"I think it's a knot tree," Tim said.

"How did you see that?" Linton asked curiously.

"Haven't you noticed this? There will be a pattern of concentric rings at the root and fibrous joints of the knot tree, which is very regular." Tim said.

"Tim just tripped over the heel of the Knot Tree and cursed at it over his shoulder, so he was watching very seriously," teased Peter.

Tim blushed.

"So the whole house is full of knot-tree roots?" said Miss Linton thoughtfully.

"There's a small gap here, look!" Harry pointed to the gap between two thick branches, "From here you can see the whole picture of the house."

Yeager and Linton took a closer look and found that the roots inside were already intertwined, making it difficult to pass through.

But the central area does not have any branches close by.

On the floor there, there was a bright candle emitting a faint halo.

"This door should be blocked by tree roots. We have to find a way to get in." Harry shrugged.

"Can't you use your electric shock bracelet for this?"

"Unfortunately, we have tested that the electric shock bracelet will only activate when animals and plants attack." Tim shrugged, "Now they will not attack us, they will simply block the door."

"To be honest, how about burning? We watched your performance that day, and the knot tree was easy to burn." Peter spread his hands.

"No." Yege shook his head slowly, "This is a forest of knotted trees. If it burns, the entire forest and the people inside will suffer."

"Huh? Don't you have the magic to stop the flame at any time?" Tim asked strangely.

This...this Yeg is not Beyeg...

Yeager couldn't tell.

He could only smile lightly: "The magic lighter is also available when it is free."

"Empty? How dare you not wear the bracelet? No, what's on your hand?"

When the three of them saw the extremely rough bracelets on the hands of the two of them, they all looked a little speechless.

"My dear self made this. If I have one, I don't need the one from the circus." Yeager winked at Linton.

"That's right!" Linton raised his head immediately, "I made it for my dear, how about it?"

The expressions of the three ranged from speechless to weird.

Tim looked away.

Harry coughed and choked back a laugh.

Peter raised his eyebrows and smiled brightly.

"Ahem, cough, back to the original topic, how do we get in?" Harry suppressed his laughter and asked seriously.

"Perhaps, it has something to do with the candle in the middle." Yeager looked at the center of the room and said.

"Indeed." Harry narrowed his eyes and looked inside. "There is not a single branch around. Maybe it's because of the candles."

"What does a candle have? Light? Heat? Smell?" asked Linton.

"We can do an experiment." Yeager looked around, "Instead of going in and being besieged, why not do some research first."

"I can't tell, haha! I thought you were also a gentleman who loves adventure." Peter said.

Yeager disagrees: "I never make unnecessary sacrifices."

Unlike Ye Man, who carefully searched for clues and layouts, Lin Xiaomei's meticulous notes and meticulous preparation are the characteristics.

He found a knot tree and dug up the soil.

He dug up a thick, hard root system.

But once the root system is exposed to sunlight, it will immediately retract into the soil layer like a snail retracting into its shell.

"No, but the roots of the knotted tree tripped me before!" Tim wondered.

"That root, do you remember whether it is in the shadow or in the sun?" Yeager asked unhurriedly.

"I remember... being in the shadows," Tim mused.

"That's it." Linton nodded and said, "In short, get rid of the smell first. There is still light and heat left. Let's go in with a torch."

Yeager shook his head: "I want to fully understand it. Let's do a little experiment."

He dug the soil layer very skillfully, the upper soil layer just blocked the light, and a small dark cave was dug in the lower soil layer, which just happened to touch the root system.

Then, he took a flashlight out of his bag and shone a bright light on it.

The roots immediately shrank in.

Then he removed the light, and the roots slowly crawled out again.

"So, are you afraid of strong light?" Linton asked, staring at the changes in the root system.

Yeager didn't answer.

He borrowed matches from the three men, lit some short branches, and extinguished the fire.

Smoke billowed from the branches, and the temperature was not low, but there was no fire.

Yeager throws hot branches into the roots
The root system didn't dodge immediately, until it touched the root system, it was as if it was scalded, and it retreated.

"Afraid of light, but also afraid of heat. But the sensitivity to light is much higher, and heat is felt hot after contact." Yege concluded.

"So how do we open the door?" Harry asked, "It's pitch black inside..."

Yeager stretched out his hand to Linton: "Honey, I can borrow your makeup mirror."

"Oh my god, do you know how precious it is? You don't want to lose it!"

Yeager: "..."

How can you play so much as a boy...

He took the mirror and reflected a beam of bright sunlight through the gap in the window.

The branches in the gap are stimulated by the sunlight and slowly retreat.

The sunlight is refracted, just like this through the window, and sprinkles on the door of the house.

The root system on the door also slowly retreated.

Tim kicked the door open.

"You can obviously use a flashlight directly? Why use someone else's makeup mirror?" Linton said dissatisfied.

"Hey, I want to save electricity." Yeager comforted, staring at the candle in the middle, "After all, look what's under the candle?"

"Like a cover," said Tim, who had already walked in, his brows furrowed. "This is, the basement?"
