Chapter 19: Seeing the Light of Day (1)

  Xia Yanfei was stunned on the spot when she heard this sentence, and she remembered that incredibly realistic dream, remembering that one sentence "With the power of 100,000 Yin soldiers from the underworld, I don't believe you can still escape the knife in your heart!", the pain that was forcibly suppressed by the Ling contract suddenly felt like it had awakened in her chest, stabbing her so much that even her bones were faithfully reacting to the pain.

  Run away.

  Only this idea is left.

  The farther you escape, the better. Hide in a place where this person can't find you again and spend the rest of your years there quietly.

  Xia Yifei took a deep breath and forced herself to forget the thought, continuing to chat with Fang Chenye with a smile: "What do you mean by that? You've also seen the Qinglong, haven't you?"

  "Xia Yifei, what kind of person are you to speak to me like this?" Fang Chenye didn't take a step closer, but stood in place with an arrogant tone, the oppressive aura emanating from him making several people unconsciously want to kneel down and submit. "I am the successor of Gui Jun's legacy, how dare you mortals be so rude to me?!"

  Xia Yanzhi, who had heard these words, didn't want to say anything else except "卧槽" (an expression of shock or surprise). If she hadn't been holding a gun in her hand, she would have probably covered her forehead with one hand to shield the black lines all over her head: "Ghost King inheritance? Has he gone crazy from being possessed by a ghost or did I just stab him in the nerve?"

  She silently continued to mock Ao Yuan in her mind: "I'm the one who released Qinglong God, this guy is probably driven crazy by your previous move."

  Ao Yuan said he didn't understand and was too lazy to respond to her.

  Xia Yifei originally wanted to continue teasing Fang Shengyi a few more sentences, but just as she was about to speak, she felt a sudden jolt, and her panic lasted only for a second before turning into astonishment.

  Because she heard the loud noise coming from deep within the tomb passage!

  "Run quickly!" Xia Yunfei also didn't have time to hide this matter, anxiously shouting to Fang Cheng and Xia Zezhao, "Fang Chenye has set off explosives here!"

  When Xiaoyan ran out of the corner, she turned her head and took a look at Fang Chenye who was still standing in place. The man not only didn't chase after her but also didn't escape, instead he stood with his arms wide open as if admiring his own prosperous kingdom.

  And it was in this fleeting glance that she discovered Fang Chen's eyes were a deep crimson red in the darkness!

  As if it were the end of that dream.

  But she didn't have time to think about it anymore, as Fang Chenye's action of detonating explosives would not only cause a large-scale collapse of the snake tomb. Not to mention that if the snake chamber were to be shaken down, those snakes and hornets coming out wouldn't be playing around, plus who knows how many hornet people...

  Just thinking about the person who had been entangled with her for half a day, Xia Yanyu felt that the wound on her leg was starting to throb again. However, this time it wasn't an illusion or psychological effect - she could feel her body, which had deteriorated to its worst state due to high fever, gradually regaining its sensitivity to pain.

  His physical condition can no longer support this unfulfilled spiritual contract.

  This was a thought that flashed through Xiaoyan's mind as she ran, she gritted her teeth and continued to run forward. No one knew better than her that once the spiritual contract lost its effect, high fever and severe pain would come together, and no matter how strong Xiaoyan was, she would be nothing more than a girl, nothing more than a flesh-and-blood person, and would definitely not even be able to move!

  Why is this road so long and why is it so far away?

  This road seems to have no end.

  Xia Yifei felt that she was about to collapse from the numbness spreading through her body. Her intuition told her that this high fever was not mild, and while her skin felt like it had entered a fiery furnace, inside she felt as if she had hugged a block of ice, plummeting into an icy abyss. The numbness spread slowly but steadily from deep within her bones to every corner of her body.

  This feeling made her so frustrated that she wished she could cut off the nerves that controlled her emotions.

  Just as she gritted her teeth and was about to speed up, a violent shock from the depths of the earth made the few people running instantly lose their balance and fall to the ground. Xiaoyan's reaction was quick, and in the moment she lost her balance, she supported herself with one hand on the ground and half-knelt down, then immediately looked back.

  Behind him was just a seemingly calm darkness.

  But she felt that something was stirring in the darkness, and a faint cry seemed to be coming from her ear.

  At this moment, Ao Yuan's voice exploded in her mind: "Go! The Wan Gui will cry together, you mortals can't resist!"

  When Xia Yanyan heard the four words "Wàn Guī Tóng Kū", her expression suddenly became terrified. She had only seen this phrase in an ancient book hidden in the Xia family's library, although it was a long time ago, but eight words were deeply imprinted on her heart -

  Ten thousand ghosts wail together, and the living soul will be devoured.

  "Run!"

  She could only shout out the word to the remaining two people, the wailing sound from the ghostly spirits in her ears grew louder and louder. The crying of ten thousand ghosts was also divided into strong and weak, the more innocent dead people buried in this place, the louder the wailing sound would be.

  But now the sound that echoed in Xiaoyan's ear made her hair stand on end, she couldn't think about why there were so many vengeful spirits here, and only a huge character existed in her mind, apart from this she couldn't think of anything else.

  Run!

  Fortunately, it didn't take long for the few people to return to the grand hall with the treasure cave. However, at this moment, even though it was still resplendent in gold and jade, with intricately carved eaves and ornate buildings that exuded wealth and opulence, no one had the mood to appreciate it, nor did they consider how to take those decorations away, for everything was worthless in the face of life and death.

  Climbing up from the thief's hole was something that even Xia Zezhao could do smoothly, but when it came to determining the order, Xia Zezhao and Fang Ying insisted in unison that Xia Yifei should go first, after all, her pale face was enough to show that she had already reached her limit.

  Xia Yanfei coughed and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Stop arguing, isn't Li Yu still here? Fang Ying, let Ze Zhao carry Lan Ruoxue, you carry Li Yu on your back, then it's my turn!"

  The two of them wanted to argue a few more sentences, but were shut down by Xiaoyan's one sentence: "If we don't leave now, we'll all die here! Are you still not moving?!"

  Fang Ying even glanced at Li Yu, who was still in a coma, with resentment. If it weren't for this troublesome person, he would have resolutely carried Xia Yun and flown up first.

  Watching Xia Zezhao disappear into the cave with Lan Ruoxue, Fang Ying looked deeply at Xia Yunfei who was still standing in place: "Be careful."

  After finishing speaking, Li Yu also started climbing. He knew that the faster he went, the sooner Xia Yifei could leave that dangerous place.

  "Your Excellency, it's all up to you once we get out of this fight."

  The last one to climb up, Xia Yu Fei, still had the leisure to tease Ao Yuan while climbing. She felt that she was now relying solely on her breath to hold on, and if she let go of this breath, she would absolutely stay here forever.

  Just like what the old man said before she left.

  But Xiaoyan thought, what's the big deal even if that's the case? She doesn't believe in fate and won't admit defeat, how could she just die in this godforsaken place?!

  When she was pulled out of the cave by Fang Ying, Xia Yanzhi looked up at the still blue sky and said with a heavy breath: "I'm still alive, it's great."

  As soon as she finished speaking, she finally lost the strength to support herself, her legs had already lost the power to hold up her body, and a blackness suddenly swept over in front of her eyes.

  Before falling into darkness, she felt herself being enveloped in someone's arms and smelled the faint scent of grass and wood.

  Who is it?
