Chapter 25: Coffin Group Seeks Collection

  In my impression, **is very calm and composed, with a very cool head. Hearing **'s anxious tone, I was certain that something must have happened behind this door, otherwise the normally calm and composed **would not be like this.

  At that moment, I swung the ancient sword towards the stone gate and chopped it. The ancient sword was indeed a treasure sword that could cut through iron like mud. Although there was some resistance when the ancient sword touched the stone gate for an instant, the stone gate was eventually destroyed by the ancient sword, scattering stones all over the ground.

  The stone gate was destroyed, and a figure emerged from the other side of the gate. The owner of this figure was none other than **, who had been seeking help earlier.

  Before I could even ask, I just heard someone running and shouting "Xiao Ke, run quickly!"

  Before I could think much, I heard a faint rustling sound coming from the other side of the door. Although the voice wasn't very clear, I still vaguely heard some sounds. Upon hearing that voice, I turned my head around and saw a figure vaguely walking towards me from a distance.

  That figure's height was about the same as mine, with a slightly thin build. Yet among our group of four, no one had a physique that matched that figure. Looking at it, I couldn't help but feel curious - who exactly was this? Why did they appear here?

  Suddenly, a voice jolted me out of my reverie, and I heard a hoarse shout directed at me: "Xiao Ke, don't look anymore, run!"

  At the sound of it, I didn't have time to think about anything else. Immediately, I followed him and ran over in two strides.

  In just a few steps, I caught up with him. Previously, because he was running too fast, I hadn't gotten a clear look at him. But now that we were shoulder to shoulder, I discovered that the two sleeves of his coat had been dyed a bright red color. Originally, the coat he was wearing was white, but now the two sleeves of his coat had been dyed bright red, with several deep gashes on top.

  Looking at this wretched appearance, I smoothed out my breath and asked, "What's going on? Why is there so much blood?"

  His face was somewhat pale, and he seemed to have no strength left, but he still desperately ran forward with all his might. "Quickly, don't ask for now, let's run quickly, don't let him catch up." As he said that, he started running with all his might.

  It wasn't long before we ran back to the fork in the road where the three paths met, and judging from their appearance, they wouldn't be able to run for much longer and would collapse at any moment.

  As for the choice, I was quite indifferent, and immediately supported myself on the railing and ran into the corridor on the right.

  As I jogged along the corridor, I realized that this corridor was vastly different from the previous ones. This corridor had a uniform width and height from start to finish, whereas the previous corridors were sometimes wide and sometimes narrow. In architectural terms, both types of corridors have their own rationale.

  Not heavy, supporting and running is not slow, but no matter how fast I run, I can clearly hear the sound of footsteps behind my ears.

  I'm not running slowly, and I'm not making any noise either, but for some reason, I can always hear the faint footsteps behind me. It's a feeling that if someone else were in my shoes, they would have gone crazy by now - no matter how hard you try to shake off the person behind you, you can always hear their footsteps.

  The path was soon traversed, and I and ** ran into a spacious stone chamber. This chamber was not cold, it was evident that this chamber was not constructed of the same material as the rocks outside.

  The stone chamber is very large and can hold dozens of people. There are many stone coffins inside the stone chamber, but none of them have lids. The inside of the stone coffins is empty and hollow, which makes one feel puzzled.

  Not only did these stone coffins have no lids, but they were also arranged in a strange formation. However, as a novice at tomb raiding, I hadn't even studied the basics of tomb raiding thoroughly, so how could I understand the significance of the formation of these stone coffins? Looking at these strange empty coffins, I scratched my head. At this moment, I didn't have the energy to compete with the coffin, and behind me was that unknown 'person' thing.

  No matter where you run, you can always hear footsteps behind you. No matter how fast or far you run, those footsteps will always be following closely behind you.

  I won't run away, I'm not going to run. This is my personality, even if I'm scared in my heart, my mind is clear. Even if I try my best to escape, that thing can still follow me, so it's not practical for me to run away.

  I grasped the somewhat dizzy **, I looked around to see if there was a place to hide. Not running wasn't an option, but I had to find a hiding spot. However, all I saw were vast stone chambers and coffins, nothing else.

  Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, my heart was also lifted to my throat. Suddenly, I finally couldn't support it and fell to the ground. I hurriedly held onto it, and just as I bent down to hold it, I saw that the bottom of this group of coffins was actually not stuck to the ground, but instead was about half an arm's length away from the ground.
