Wu Yu Saves the World

Chapter 165: Grave Robbers' Chronicles Qi Yu 47

Soon after, they came to a three-way intersection.

Master Liang and Lao Yang had a disagreement about which direction to go.

Master Liang's face was filled with fear and hesitancy, while Lao Yang seemed relatively calm.

Finally, after some debate, Master Liang decided to follow Lao Yang's advice and go left.

Along the way, there were bones and remains everywhere, which was horrifying.

Wu Xie walked carefully, occasionally marking the walls along the way with a dagger.

As they walked, he was surprised to find that they were back to the place where they started.

Next, they tried to go to the passage on the right according to Master Liang's idea, but they ended up going back to where they started.

Master Liang's face turned pale, and he speculated in a trembling voice: "This may be some kind of formation."

Wu Xie calmly observed his surroundings, then resolutely walked towards the only remaining direction.

After walking for a while, the torch in Master Liang's hand went out again inexplicably.

In the darkness, Master Liang could only be heard shouting in fear: "There's something in the wall!"

Wu Xie quickly stopped and took a closer look in the faint moonlight. Sure enough, he felt that the wall seemed to be shaking slightly.

He stared at the wall intently, and after a moment, a dark shadow suddenly jumped out from the wall.

Seeing this, Lao Yang was not afraid at all and immediately flew over and pounced.

Wu Xie followed closely behind and pressed Lao Yang tightly under him.

When the two finally subdued the black shadow, they discovered that it was actually a rat of astonishingly huge size.

It looked as if something strange had happened, and it was completely different from an ordinary mouse.

They suddenly raised their heads and their eyes were attracted by a shabby coffin that exuded a decayed smell.

The coffin was placed there alone, as if hiding endless secrets.

After careful observation, they noticed that there was a fist-sized hole above the coffin, which was pitch black and chilling.

Wu Xie nervously gripped the weapon in his hand, exchanged a glance with Lao Yang, and then approached the coffin cautiously.

As they approached the hole, a pungent smell hit them.

Looking inside through the hole, the two were shocked to find that the inside of the coffin was filled with a group of huge and hideous mutant rats.

These monsters were covered in fur, their sharp teeth flashed coldly, and their eyes revealed a fierce light.

Faced with such a horrifying scene, Wu Xie and Lao Yang felt their hearts tighten, realizing that this place was extremely dangerous.

Without hesitation, they turned around, pulled up their companions behind them, and quickly fled from this terrible place.

Along the way, they did not dare to look back and walked hurriedly, their hearts filled with fear of what they had just seen.

Only when they were far enough away from the coffin did the three of them stop, huddled together panting, and recalled with lingering fear what had just happened.

After Wu Xie, Lao Yang and Master Liang rested for a while, they continued to look for a way out.

Wu Xie still followed the usual practice of leaving marks along the way, but even so the three of them were exhausted but still could not get out of the predicament.

Just when everyone was taking a break, Master Liang suddenly picked up a broken bone on the ground and revealed to Lao Yang that he had made an important discovery.

Master Liang pointed at the bone and said.

"This is a human clavicle! And judging from the sharp wound on it, it can be inferred that the deceased was killed by a single blow."

"In my opinion, this is definitely not an ordinary burial site. It is more like the remains of a battlefield where a fierce battle took place in the past."

"These remains must belong to two camps. One is the guardian of the ancient tomb, and the other is probably the army composed of Han people."

Wu Xie interrupted and asked.

"Could it be the legendary 'Silent Rider'?"

Master Liang nodded in agreement and continued.

"That's right. At first, the tomb keepers tried to lure the enemy deep into this place and use the intricate, maze-like terrain to wipe out the Han soldiers."

"I didn't expect this Han army to be so powerful that they killed many enemies right after the battle. Afterwards, they even tried to set fire to this place. But I still can't figure out how the 'Bu Yan Qi' managed to escape."

Wu Xie said with a firm look in his eyes.

"As long as we can keep walking in a straight line, we will be able to get out of this place!"

His confident words seemed to give the two of them a shot of adrenaline.

Lao Yang quickly took out a flare from his backpack and shot it into the sky without hesitation.

Red smoke spread in the air, forming a striking mark.

Wu Xie, Master Liang and Lao Yang stared at the direction of the flare and moved forward quickly.

However, it wasn't long before they smelled a pungent burning smell.

Turning around, I saw thick smoke coming out of the bushes not far away.

Clearly, something was ignited there.

In desperation, they had to turn around and run back.

On the way back, Wu Xie suddenly noticed that there was a coffin next to him that seemed a little strange.

He walked closer and took a closer look, and found that the coffin could actually be moved.

So he quickly called Master Liang and Lao Yang to come and help. The three of them worked together to push the coffin to the fire and successfully stopped the spread of the fire.

After being temporarily safe, Wu Xie suggested.

"Let's split up and look for other movable coffins. Perhaps they will lead us to the exit."

After saying that, the three of them started searching in different directions.

Time passed by, but they still gained nothing.

Finally, when they came together, they were surprised to find themselves back in the original position.

Wu Xie frowned and began to carefully examine every coffin around him, and fell into deep thought.

Wu Xie stared at the coffins in front of him intently, trying to find some clues from them.

Time passed minute by minute, and finally, his eyes stopped on one of the coffins.

This coffin seemed to be different from the other coffins, but it was hard to tell exactly how it was different.

So, Wu Xie decided to go and check it out himself.

He took a deep breath, then jumped up and kicked the coffin hard.

With a loud "bang", the coffin was kicked open, and the tightly closed lid flew far away.

And under the coffin, there appeared a pitch-black hole.

This unexpected discovery made the three people ecstatic, and they ran towards the cave entrance without hesitation.

However, the joy did not last long.

Just when they had run a few steps, they suddenly felt their feet were empty and their bodies fell down involuntarily.

Immediately afterwards, the world spun around, as if one had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Xie slowly opened his eyes and found himself lying on the hard ground.

He struggled to get up and looked around, only to see backpacks and flashlights scattered around him.

Master Liang and Lao Yang also woke up one after another. Master Liang groped for a torch and lit it.

By the light of the fire, they were surprised to see an extremely huge bronze tree standing before them.

It soars into the sky, and its canopy covers the entire space, giving people an unparalleled sense of shock.

Master Liang couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This bronze tree is truly a work of art! It is truly a miracle created by God!"

Wu Xie remembered that Lao Yang had mentioned a bronze tree to him before, so he turned around and asked.

"Lao Yang, is this the tree you and Lao Ma found?"

However, at this moment Lao Yang seemed to have lost his soul, staring blankly at the bronze tree, motionless.

Just as Wu Xie was about to ask again, Master Liang suddenly shouted loudly.

"Come and see! I found traces of excavation here!"

Hearing this, Wu Xie quickly turned around and found some traces of artificial excavation at the location where Master Liang was.

Master Liang warned with a serious expression.

"This tree is so strange, we have to be extra careful."

After saying this, he gripped the torch tightly and watched the movements around him vigilantly.

Wu Xie nodded, indicating that he understood Master Liang’s concerns.

After all, in such a mysterious place, any negligence could bring fatal danger.
