Chapter 45: Escape Route?

  In just a moment, Shen Shou and his companions found the lamp holder. In the dark space, the spark ignited instantly, rushing towards the sky, and suddenly a fire dragon with its teeth and claws appeared! The entire tomb was illuminated.

  Before me stood five towering stone gates, with flying eaves and overlapping corners, like a soaring eagle about to take flight. The atmosphere was majestic and awe-inspiring, high and unattainable! Especially the central gate, which was even more grandiose and magnificent, with mighty dragons coiled around the pillars, gazing down at all living things. Behind the gates lay an enormous open space, like a vast square, where breathing became heavy, and I felt as if the entire world had fallen silent. The only sensation was the oppressive weight of the atmosphere, which filled my heart with reverence and trepidation!

  Not only the gate, but also the ground, are made of flat black stone slabs, and such craftsmanship is unimaginable for ancient people!

  "Who would have thought that I accidentally ended up at the main gate." A young man, seemingly named Li Tai, said with a sigh. This person is relatively normal, and has spoken quite a few words in the team before, of course all were said when everyone was relaxed, so I paid attention to him earlier.

  "It's a bit mysterious." Kong Yuyan's mouth curled up slightly, looking very happy, and continued: "This time we finally found the right place!"

  "Which place?" I was confused, we didn't even know the name of the tomb owner, how did they know we hadn't found the wrong place? This is too amazing!

  The evil bird also looked puzzled and asked inexplicably: "Have we really found the right place this time? Why do I feel that they are all about the same?"

  The immortal wouldn't bother with us, but Kong spoke up, "Do you think this is a tomb from which dynasty?"

  "Ah, Kong Xiaoge, stop being so mysterious. It's all just a fight anyway, let's just get to the point. You know I'm most annoyed by those old things, just tell me the answer directly!" The first time seeing Evil Bird with a worried expression said.

  Kong said nothing and stopped selling Guan Zi, explaining: "This underground palace is at least over 2,000 years old, before the Qin Dynasty, and unlike any style of any era."

  "Ah!" The evil bird suddenly chuckled and said with a sly look: "So this time we hit the jackpot!"

  "That's not necessarily true." said the God of Hands. Without waiting for the Evil Bird to continue asking, he continued: "This fight is more dangerous than any you've been in before, no one knows what will happen, and even the structure can't be figured out, just try your best to survive." After finishing speaking, he ignored the stunned expressions of everyone and walked towards the large stone gate.

  Kong saw this and said lightly: "I thought you knew the importance of this task." After finishing, he also turned around and left without looking back.

  The tone was ominous... even I, an outsider, could tell. They naturally knew it too, and they quickly gathered their wits, turned pale, and followed with expressionless faces.

  "Hey, wait for me!" Watching their momentum suddenly surge, I was momentarily stunned.

  Was the underground palace of Qin Shi Huang like this? Just a big gate was built so grand and tall, did they have such advanced technology at that time? And what is called a style different from any era? Did someone take a different path? Suddenly felt like I heard some secret, but thinking again, couldn't point out what...

  "Huff, huff, huff" A faint and low gasping sound suddenly came from behind me. I turned my head in confusion, wondering who was just climbing up now. Just as I thought that, I saw the black mass in mid-air pouncing towards me. The white clothes with red fluff all over were stained with dirt, and those sharp, fierce eyes were filled with unhidden resentment and anger. I was so scared that I almost fell over, and I brushed my hand against the icy ground as I ran forward.

  Shen Shou and the others had also sensed the commotion behind them, and after receiving a signal, Kong Jiaoyan immediately rushed over to save me. However, that red-haired woman was too formidable, instantly dodging Kong Jiaoyan's attack while letting out a blood-curdling scream, and then charged towards me again. It was clear that her target was me!

  "Oh my god, I didn't hurt you, why are you chasing me?! Come and save me quickly! I'm about to collapse, what's going on here? Just when I relaxed, you came out and scared me! Is this funny? Is this funny? No more words, crying while running..."

  Although the fire dragon was huge, it did not fully illuminate this tomb chamber as large as a square. The red-haired corn pursued me relentlessly, and I also used all my strength to run desperately. Just before I was exhausted, I finally ran to the edge, but that red-haired corn showed no signs of fatigue! In horror, I stared at a pair of black oily hands reaching out to grab me, and I couldn't help but close my eyes...

  Suddenly, a gunshot rang out with a loud "bang", and the shrill screams of a woman pierced my ears, almost shattering my eardrums. I didn't dare look back, taking advantage of this opportunity to scramble up and continue running. Seeing me get up, that red-haired woman actually chased after me again. I swung my backpack at her and it hit her, the sound of gunfire "ping ping pang pang" continued non-stop behind me, and the sharp screams of the woman were deafening. Before long, she had forced me towards a nearby earthen hut.

  Taking advantage of the faint light, I didn't dare to stop, so many guns haven't killed her, how deep is this glutinous rice ball's resentment! Red is a great calamity... Only now do I truly understand how calamitous this calamity is...

  Ka-chunk... I seemed to have heard the sound of machinery turning, in the pitch blackness, I couldn't see anything, fear had already consumed my rationality, all I knew was to keep running forward, running forward, until I heavily fell to the ground...

  A sour, salty taste of blood overflowed in my mouth, and the corner of my mouth must have been cracked... All the muscles in my body ached as if they had been pounded by a heavy hammer, and everything around me was still pitch black, I couldn't see or hear anything. After a long time, I slowly sat up from the ground, still tightly holding the only flashlight in my hand.

  Fortunately, the flashlight wasn't smashed, it's just that the light is a bit weak, it seems that the battery won't last for long. With great difficulty, I got up and found myself in a long corridor, about two meters high and wide, but the length couldn't be seen with the current light of the flashlight. The walls on all four sides were built with black stones, very flat and cool, without even a single weed.

  Could this be an escape route!? For a moment, I felt some excitement, and not far behind me, I could see a wall, so the exit is just ahead? I know it's not good to hold onto a glimmer of hope, but now, if I don't think like that, I'll collapse...

  Step by step, I walked forward, and the only sound in the entire space was my footsteps. The loneliness was a bit bleak. What's more, there was a slightly frightening feeling, and that red-haired corn doll didn't seem to be chasing after me either. I slowly let out a breath, but the fear in my heart didn't show any signs of dissipating. "Dàbǎo, Dàbǎo, hurry up and come out!" I seemed to have suddenly found a lifesaver, and with my head lowered, I urgently called out. Two people are better than one, even if Dàbǎo isn't really human...

  I called out a few times, but Da Bao still didn't come out. It's really strange! It seems like since we entered this mountain, Da Bao hasn't appeared again! Before, I didn't think much of it, but now that I've calmed down, I feel a sense of panic. I hastily reached into my pocket to grab the small glass bottle, rummaging through it repeatedly... I'm about to collapse! The bottle is gone... Da Bao is gone!!
