Chapter 47: Encounter with Xianxian Again, No Slapping Allowed!

  My whole body was in scorching pain, as if I had been crushed. The dim light pierced through my eyelids, and I couldn't help but open my eyes. The surroundings were very quiet, eerily quiet.

  Haven't I died yet? This was the first thought that came to my mind after regaining consciousness. Light? Wasn't I in a pitch-black corridor, and did someone else fall down and turn on the lights again?

  No! This isn't the secret room! I suddenly came to my senses, and at this moment, I was awkwardly lying on the icy ground. In front of me was a dark stone floor with dragon-shaped carvings. I remembered that the floor in the secret room was flat and didn't have any carvings, so what's going on with these dragon carvings?

  I felt a strong sense of being stared at, I propped myself up with both hands, gritting my teeth in pain and sat up. I lifted my head to take a look, and was immediately stunned. On both sides, about one meter away from me, two groups of people were standing, all staring at me with extremely surprised gazes.

  Immortal? Divine Gunman?

  Xian Xian's movements were still frozen in the shooting pose, but at this moment, he was staring at me with a look of astonishment and didn't say a word. That elegant face, fashionable attire, although in this dim underground place, still looked handsome enough to make one think he was filming some kind of international joke, no, it's a movie!

  Take a look at the other side, Shen Shou and others. Shen Shou still wears a black sniper's windproof glasses, his expression can't be seen clearly. The most surprised and eye-catching one is Evil Bird, his mouth is wide open, almost able to stuff an egg in it, just short of drooling. Kong Gu Yan doesn't have much expression, but the hint of surprise at the bottom of his eyes didn't escape my notice.

  I only feel my brain buzzing, how did they end up here? And looking at their current state, both of them are holding guns and raising their weapons, it shouldn't be a pleasant reunion feeling, right? It seems like they're exchanging fire! But, why am I lying in the middle of their crossfire?!

  "Hehe, you guys continue!" I said, trying to act as if nothing was wrong, while getting up from the ground. My body hurts a lot, and only after looking down did I realize that I'm covered in blood, my clothes are all tattered, and I look just like a beggar. And judging by this situation, it's probably better for me to withdraw for now!

  I had just taken two steps when suddenly there was a loud "bang" and something fell from behind. I was startled, thinking that the red-haired woman was chasing after me again. But when I turned around to take a look, I was stunned once more. What had fallen wasn't the red-haired woman, but something even more unbearable - a monster with its skin peeled off!

  The monster's face was also peeled off, exactly the same as the one I saw in Heizigou before, it's extremely disgusting and terrifying!

  "What bad luck!" I was suddenly kicked and almost fell over, then saw Xian Xian with a scrunched up face, looking just like a kid throwing a tantrum. It left me speechless. Seriously, this thing wasn't even my fault, why am I the one being blamed for having bad luck?!

  I was almost using all my strength to run, every step I took, every move I made, the wounds on my body seemed to crack open, but I could still keep up without falling behind, even I couldn't help but want to praise my own physical strength and endurance!

  As I watched the people in front of me rush towards the stairs ahead, I subconsciously followed them. In this situation, it's still better to follow the crowd. Since they've arrived, and they don't seem to have suffered much damage, they must have some real strength. If following them can lead us to the main tomb chamber, that would be even better, because Lemon's goal is definitely there! I'm eager to see him, perhaps it's the special aura he emits. Although he appears cold and weak, thinking of him makes me feel fearless for no reason.

  "Hey, hey, wait for me!" I really couldn't run anymore, panting heavily with my mouth open wide, and my hands could only support myself against the wall to prevent myself from falling.

  In the blink of an eye, they vanished from sight. I couldn't help but curse under my breath as I finally collapsed onto the stairs. Since the staircase was spiral-shaped, I had no idea if that skin-peeling monster had caught up or not. However, I knew that group of people had completely abandoned me, a patient covered in injuries!

  It's just human nature, and I don't blame them. After all, there isn't a second Qing Ning in the world, even if it were Qing Ning, I reckon she wouldn't have saved me at first sight, back then if she hadn't seen my cat eye stone bracelet, I reckon she wouldn't have paid much attention to me either, let alone become friends with me, everything is thanks to this bracelet.

  Stroking the cool cat's eye stone, I felt a sense of calm wash over me as it emitted a gentle chill from within. Gazing at the small "Zi" character inside, I couldn't help but be mesmerized.

  The footsteps are getting closer and louder, it sounds like there are many people. If I didn't see it wrong before, the Divine Hands group is running in the front, followed by Xian Xian and others, and as a seriously injured person, I am at the back. But what's with all these footsteps coming from behind now? Could it be...

  Are they all skinning monsters!?

  Just thinking of their blood-stained faces makes me shudder, and I try to stand up by leaning against the wall, but after several attempts, I still can't get up. No way, I'm now completely exhausted, not to mention that I haven't eaten for so long, and previously being tormented by that red-haired guy was enough. Although I don't know how I escaped, it's a fact that I'm unable to move now. After barely escaping, am I really going to wait for death here?

  No, no way! Driven by a strong desire, I climbed the stairs step by step. The sound was getting closer and closer, and I could even hear the strong heartbeat. Right, I think I still have a gun!

  Suddenly, I remembered that the evil bird had given me a handgun before. Although there were no bullets inside, it was still worth taking a look at how to load them while they hadn't caught up yet. As soon as I pulled out the gun, a foot suddenly appeared in my peripheral vision, and then in an instant, someone rushed over.

  I was stunned, and he was completely stunned too, staring at me in surprise and asking: "How...!"

  "How did you run to the back?" I was also surprised, who else could it be if it wasn't Xianxian and the others?!

  They clearly abandoned me and ran upwards, but now they've run back up from below...

  "Don't tell me you fell from upstairs and then ran up from downstairs?" I pointed to the top of the stairs, then pointed to the bottom, and what I said didn't even make sense to myself.

  "Keep going up." Xianxian instructed the people behind her, then leaned against the wall and looked at me. As she watched, another group of people ran up, leaving only Xianxian and me here.

  "What are you looking at me for?" I hadn't even finished speaking when Xian suddenly revealed a fierce expression and pounced on me. Before I could react, he had grabbed my neck with both hands. Originally, I was already crawling up the stairs with a wounded body, but now being tossed around like this, I felt the wound start bleeding again.

  Besides, I'm not someone easy to mess with now. I don't know where the strength came from, but I grabbed him and pounced on him, then started punching him.

  Perhaps she didn't expect me to suddenly erupt, Xianxian's eyes showed a hint of surprise, loosened her hands that were gripping my neck, and hastily said: "Don't hit my face!"
