Volume 1: Ghosts of the Underworld Wail... Chapter 66: Fleeing Before Sunset (2)

  Xie Nan's figure stopped, looking at the thing in Chen Long's hand, his eyes slightly cold: "Indeed, it was that old guy who made a ghost."

  "Oh? You knew it all along?" Chen Long raised an eyebrow.

  "Are you taking me for a fool?" Xie Nan sneered, "Plans can't keep up with changes, I had no choice but to go along with his actions at the time. Don't worry, I won't vent my anger on a dead person."

  "Damn it! Don't pretend to be a saint!" Chen Long didn't know why, but his calm and collected heart was somewhat shaken by this unfortunate event. It made him extremely angry, and if possible, he wouldn't mind burning that stupid b to a crisp.

  A burst of flames overflowed from the small cup, and under Chen Long's mental control, it instantly transformed into a long, fiery red ribbon that shot towards Xie Nan.

  Xie Nan's eyes burst out with a sharp light, his body retreated several steps back, raised his hand and swept the incoming fiery red ribbon with the gun in his hand.

  A burst of flames was scattered by him, but Xie Nan also threw away the scorching gun body. The long strip turned into a large net and swooped down towards Xie Nan, but Xie Nan's reaction speed was very fast, he rolled on the ground several times, dodging the first strike, and then took out another handgun.

  His face turned iron-green, clearly extremely displeased. "You stinky brat, I can't kill you, can't I still kill your companion? If you don't want him to die, it's best to stop now!" His eyes had already revealed a fierce light, glaring fiercely at Chen Long who was still casting his spell.

  At the words, Chen Long shrugged his shoulders and put away his magic, "I just wanted to tell you, sir, that your gun is of little use against me. If you want to deal with me outside, you'll definitely be the first to die. Of course, maybe I'll also be killed by your hand, but finding a few scapegoats isn't difficult."

  Xie Nan took a deep breath, "Alright, Mr. Chen, let's go inside and talk."

  Seeing Supa fainting in the camp, Xie Nan suddenly felt hateful: "Mr. Chen, I need an explanation! Is this our tacit understanding? Why did you know we were going to ambush your companion and still leave her behind?"

  "I don't have the right to decide a person's life and death!" Chen Long said with an air of pretentiousness, his tone somewhat dissatisfied. "Why do we want to kill such a beautiful young lady who hasn't committed any crime?"

  Xie Nan's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery: "So, Mr. Chen is still a kind-hearted person who sympathizes with the heavens and pities the people. Then why did he kill Yuan Hua?"

  Next to Jiang Feng, a black-faced man with bloodstains: "I'm telling you, idiot, he killed so many of us, and not making him into a human stick is already being nice, do you want us to let him off?"

  Xie Nan was too lazy to look at this brainless guy, and felt that using language to squeeze Chen Long was meaningless. So he didn't waste his time on this topic: "Speak up, when are we going out? You know, that thing will definitely come out tonight. If we're still here hesitating, we might as well wait for death!"

  "The old man's stuff you can take away, but the rest of the things must belong to us. As long as we all get out safely, you can take that old guy's son with you, how about it? In one sentence, do you agree or not? We don't have time to waste here."

  Chen Long waved his hand, "First exchange the hostages, we won't interfere with your internal affairs. Also, there are so many weapons here, can we take some? No problem, right?"

  Xie Nan didn't mind these things, "You can take those handguns as you please, but rifles and sniper rifles, do you want those too? Aren't you afraid of causing trouble?"

  "No need to bother, I've already taken what I needed. Three rifles, three handguns, a lot of bullets, and some explosives. Don't worry, I'm not interested in those porcelain and silver things." Chen Long said coldly, "These things have already been dug up anyway, and our current situation can't be turned around. But if I see you guys robbing tombs again in the future, don't say I didn't warn you that your lives will be at stake."

  "Go ahead and try." Xie Nan sneered in retort, "I think there will be an opportunity."

  Chen Long felt the murderous intent on him and immediately decided that if he had the chance, he would definitely take care of this person. As for the possible threat, Chen Long thought it was better to thoroughly eliminate it, but at present, his magic was exhausted, his companions were injured or tired, and he wouldn't completely turn against the opponent. Although there was a blood feud between the two sides, they weren't familiar with each other, and there wasn't much emotional attachment, so it wasn't worth sacrificing their lives for some stupid sense of justice.

  Gently patting Li Yun's small hand, Chen Long knew that this little girl was simple-minded at heart and was probably dissatisfied with his compromising approach, so he could only say in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will take revenge."

  Li Yun's heart was filled with anger, but for some reason she couldn't explode in front of Chen Long. She was simple and not pretending to be something she wasn't, but she also knew that fighting with the opponent at this time was not wise, or else they might all end up dying here.

  Everyone else left, and Chen Long and Xie Nan discussed alone for a while, reaching some consensus, with both sides making some concessions. More than an hour later, they decided to set off immediately, first escaping from this place.

  It was high noon, but there wasn't a single ray of sunlight. The sky turned gloomy and seemed to be on the verge of rain. Chen Long's expression was solemn as he glanced at Xie Nan's gloomy face and said, "Let's hurry up and go, today really isn't a good day!"

  To avoid delaying the journey, Zhu Xiaocui and Su Pa were both woken up by Chen Long. However, neither Chen Long nor Xie Nan had any intention of explaining things to them, so until they entered the thieves' cave, the two women still didn't know what was going on. Su Pa was a bit better off, knowing that entering the cave meant they were on their way back, while Zhu Xiaocui had no idea about the situation and was also injured, so Chen Long could only have Li Yun support her first, and then have Jiang Feng carry her when she couldn't hold on any longer. As for Chen Long - he said his small body couldn't carry anyone, which made Jiang Feng sigh repeatedly, lamenting his own bitter and laborious fate.

  Xie Nan and others dug the tunnel after they arrived, which went straight to a depth of over ten meters underground. Although the slope was not steep, since everyone was injured, crawling through dozens of meters of tunnels felt very tiring.

  Fortunately, after leaving the tomb, they entered a section of tunnel. According to Xie Nan, this tunnel connects three large mountains and was dug during the Five Dynasties period when the tombs were built. Now, many places have collapsed, and it took their group a lot of effort to re-excavate some of the blocked areas. However, even after re-excavation, it's hard to compare with the original state thousands of years ago. Many roads are very difficult to walk on, and some narrow and depressed areas require them to bend down to pass through. Fortunately, most of the tunnels are about 1.7 meters high and 1 meter wide; otherwise, the group would not be able to move at all.

  Even so, the seven people walked through those narrow and crumbling borders with caution, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
