Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 163: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 45

"Where we are now is the underworld. Look at that long iron chain, it extends all the way behind the waterfall. If what Boss Li said is true, then this ancient tomb is the underworld that people often talk about, right?"

"It is said that during the Northern Wei Dynasty, a group of treasure-stealing troops called the Buyan Cavalry accidentally discovered this mysterious tomb and encountered strange events here, which led to the rumor of the Yin Soldiers."

As Wu Xie spoke, he was thinking that perhaps if he kept walking along this so-called underworld, he would be able to find a passage to leave this place.

However, at this moment a thorny problem was placed before them.

Since they had no lighting tools such as flashlights, it was obviously difficult for them to move forward underwater with just the torch.

Just when Wu Xie was worried about this, Lao Yang at the side came up with an idea.

"Why don't we make this fire burn brighter? That way, we can use its blazing light to dive into the water and explore. Even if we can't reach our destination, at least we can follow the light back."

Things have come to this point, and there seems to be no other way, so Wu Xie and Lao Yang decide to take a risk.

The two men jumped into the water one after another, but the freezing cold water soon made Lao Yang unable to bear it and his body began to shiver.

Seeing this, Wu Xie quickly pulled Lao Yang back to the shore.

Wu Xie heaved a sigh of relief only after Lao Yang regained some consciousness.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed that there seemed to be traces of other people nearby.

This unexpected discovery made Wu Xie alert. He immediately stood up and prepared to conduct a detailed investigation of the surrounding environment to see if he could find any clues about the exit.

At this time, Lao Yang, who had just woken up, noticed that Wu Xie was concentrating on searching for the exit, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his heart.

At the same time, he secretly prayed that he could escape successfully this time.

Wu Xie cautiously stretched out a foot to test the force of the waterfall.

When he felt that the power of the water was not as strong as he had imagined, he took a deep breath and stepped into the waterfall.

Lao Yang, who was standing nearby, saw Wu Xie being so brave and hurriedly followed him and stepped into the misty world.

After the two passed the waterfall, they were surprised by the scene before them: there was another waterfall.

Lao Yang scratched his head in confusion, wondering if he had returned to where he was.

However, Wu Xie keenly noticed some subtle differences.

He looked closely at the color of the second waterfall and noticed that it was slightly different from the previous one.

With full of curiosity, Wu Xie and Lao Yang continued to travel forward.

Sure enough, they soon came across the third waterfall.

At this moment, Wu Xie finally understood.

This is a circular maze consisting of three waterfalls.

Faced with this mysterious and complex puzzle, Wu Xie showed his usual wit and calmness.

He took out the knife he carried with him and left a simple secret code on a nearby stone as he passed each waterfall.

That way, if they got lost, they might be able to rely on these codes to find their way back.

When they passed through the place again, they were surprised to find that the flashlight was gone.

Lao Yang was terrified and declared in a trembling voice that this was definitely a supernatural event.

He was shaking all over, so nervous that he could hardly control himself, and fumbled for a pack of cigarettes from his backpack.

Then, tremblingly, he opened the cigarette box, took out three cigarettes, and held them tightly in his hands.

Then, he carefully picked up a ball of cotton from the side and stuffed it into his nostrils, as if this could resist the invasion of some mysterious force.

After completing these preparations, Lao Yang took a deep breath and lit the three cigarettes.

Smoke filled the air, carrying a strange and pungent smell. He held a burning cigarette in his hand, knelt down and kowtowed devoutly in four directions, muttering something in his mouth, praying to God for protection and safety.

Wu Xie smelled the strange smell and couldn't help but frowned, asking Lao Yang in confusion what brand of cigarettes he was smoking.

Lao Yang replied guiltily that it was just an ordinary cigarette, but his eyes flickered, as if he was hiding some important information.

However, while the two were talking, they suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground one after another, unconscious.

After a while, Lao Yang woke up first.

He stood up shakily and shouted Wu Xie's name loudly, but got no response.

Suddenly, he took out a sharp knife from his body, his lips moved slightly, and he muttered to himself.

"I'm sorry, Wu Xie. I have no other choice."

Then, he gritted his teeth and ruthlessly cut a cut on Wu Xie's arm, letting the blood flow out.

He quickly picked up a bottle to catch the bright red blood.

Just when Lao Yang was busy, he suddenly noticed some movement around him.

He raised his head alertly and glanced around sharply.

Sure enough, a figure appeared not far away. Lao Yang held the knife tightly without hesitation and ran towards the figure, trying to catch him.

However, when he approached the man, he was surprised to find that the person in front of him was Master Liang!

At this moment, Wu Xie slowly opened his eyes, as if waking up from a long dream.

Seeing this, Master Liang shouted excitedly.

"My dear little benefactor, you finally woke up!"

Wu Xie endured the severe pain in his body and looked down at his arm, only to see a shocking knife wound.

He tried hard to recall the scene before he fell into a coma, and a vague picture emerged in his mind: Lao Yang was holding a sharp knife and stabbing at him.

Lao Yang warned Master Liang fiercely that he must not tell Wu Xie what he had just seen.

When Wu Xie heard this, he was filled with confusion and anxiety. He stared at Lao Yang and asked Master Liang what had happened.

Master Liang trembled as he recounted how he had walked around the maze-like place dozens of times but still could not find the exit.

Wu Xie noticed that Master Liang was holding a flashlight tightly in his hand, which was exactly where he had placed it before.

In an instant, he suddenly realized that there was a huge mystery hidden here!

With years of experience and keen insight, Wu Xie firmly believed that this area must have an ingenious layout of mechanisms.

And the place where they are at this moment is most likely the starting point of the entire mechanism.

Wu Xie stared at the sparkling water in front of him, and a smile gradually appeared on the corners of his mouth.

Then he jumped into the water without hesitation.

In an instant, a dull roar was heard, and the waterfall, which was originally as calm as a mirror, began to tremble violently.

Not long after, Wu Xie surfaced in ecstasy, shouting excitedly.

"I found the mechanism!"

When everyone heard this, they gathered together, their eyes full of expectation and hope.

At this moment, the originally surging waterfall suddenly stopped without any warning.

The water flow stopped abruptly, leaving only a dry riverbed and steep stone walls on both sides.

Next to the waterfall, an ancient stone bridge appeared at some point, as if it was an escape route specially arranged by fate.

Seeing this, the three of them felt a glimmer of hope and hurriedly ran towards the bridge.

Master Liang ran the slowest, and he shouted breathlessly.

"Wait... wait for me, I really can't run anymore, let me rest for a while!"

Wu Xie stopped, looked back at Lao Yang and Master Liang, and analyzed seriously.

"We are now facing a very difficult situation. If we put all the equipment of three people on one person, I am afraid that even in this case, it will be difficult for that person to walk out of this dangerous place alive. Therefore, we must work together and make joint efforts to have a chance of escaping danger."

After saying that, Wu Xie's gaze fell on Lao Yang intentionally or unintentionally, as if waiting for his response.

Lao Yang felt a little uneasy, but still nodded calmly, indicating that he agreed with Wu Xie's opinion.

Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this, and continued.

"Since everyone agrees, let me lead the way. We may encounter various dangers ahead, but as long as we support each other, I believe we can overcome the difficulties."

Afterwards, Wu Xie stepped onto the stone bridge first and walked forward carefully.

Lao Yang and Master Liang followed closely behind him, feeling anxious. After crossing the stone bridge, they came to a steep cliff burial area.

There is an eerie and terrifying atmosphere everywhere here, which is creepy.
