Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 261 Qinling Sacred Tree (20)

After a period of rest and reorganization, on a clear morning, after everyone had breakfast, Aning notified everyone to prepare to go to the sea.

After swimming in the sea for a while, they were first harassed by sea monkeys, and then encountered a female ghost in white clothes and long hair. Finally, they came to the entrance of the underwater tomb in a panic.

After entering the underwater tomb, everyone was surprised to find a small and exquisite coffin placed at the entrance, which looked particularly strange. There were also some small footprints of children left on the ground, so Wu Xie and others took off their equipment and went forward to check.

Ji Xiao leaned quietly beside Zhang Qiling, staring ahead, neither speaking nor participating in the action. And Hei Xiazi also remained silent, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

At this moment, a gurgling sound suddenly came from not far away, which aroused everyone's vigilance. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge vase rolling to one side. The vase seemed to have its own will. It rolled to a small door and paused for a while. When it noticed everyone's gaze, it continued to roll forward without hesitation. The vase rolled all the way along the narrow corridor, and finally stopped after hitting the wall with a "bang".

Everyone was shocked and went forward to check. When they looked at the vase carefully, they were surprised to find that there was a closed door hidden behind it.

Just as everyone was hesitating whether to enter this mysterious door, the door slowly opened automatically as if inspired by something. What appeared before them was a deep corridor, and an unsettling atmosphere filled the darkness.

Zhang Qiling held Ji Xiao's hand tightly, his eyes calm, holding a flashlight, shining the light around, carefully observing the surrounding environment, and calmly holding Ji Xiao's hand and following behind the crowd.

Wu Xie took the lead and stepped into the corridor, followed closely by the others. The corridor was not very long, but as they went deeper, the atmosphere became more and more depressing.

At this moment, Aning, who was at the back of the team, stopped without warning and stepped on a mysterious place. This sudden change almost caught Wu Xie, who was walking in front, off guard.

While everyone was busy dealing with arrows shot from all directions, Aning took the opportunity to suddenly pull Wu Xie, using him as a human shield, and then aimed at the right moment to rush into a door nearby.

At the same time, Wang Pangzi was unfortunately hit by many arrows while rescuing Wu Xie. The arrows did not stop until Hei Xiazi successfully found the mechanism and shut it down.

Then, Ji Xiao took out a powerful searchlight from the space he carried with him. In an instant, the entire space was enveloped by dazzling light. Everyone who was suddenly attacked by such strong light subconsciously reached out to cover their eyes.

At this moment, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi seemed to have forgotten the pain in their bodies. They looked at the flashlight in Ji Xiao's hand with astonishment and asked suspiciously, "Why is the flashlight you hold so different from ours?"

"Yes! Yes! Why didn't you open it just now?"

Ji Xiao turned her head and looked at the two of them with a puzzled look in her eyes, and asked in confusion: "Why should I take it out?"

"You are always like this." Hei Xiazi, who was standing nearby, suddenly interrupted.

"What's wrong with me? Anyway, this is my own thing. I can take it out whenever I want!" Ji Xiao heard this and immediately responded with a proud expression.

At this time, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang had already pulled out the arrows from their bodies. Then Wu Xie looked at Zhang Qiling and said, "Why don't you go in with your boss? Aren't you two together?"

Zhang Qiling just glanced at him calmly, then reached out and pulled off the disguise mask covering his face, but ignored Wu Xie. Instead, he took the arrow from him and said calmly, "This is a lotus arrow, and Aning stepped on the mechanism on purpose just now."

Wu Xie, seeing Zhang Qiling's true face, shouted in astonishment, "Dumb Zhang!"

While they were talking, Hei Xiazi quietly moved to Ji Xiao's side, then reached out and gently poked her, lowering his voice and saying, "Xiao Xiao, how about giving me a flashlight?"

Ji Xiao looked at him helplessly, rolled her eyes, then took out a flashlight from her space and handed it to him, saying unhappily: "Why are you like a debt collector, taking things from me all day long? You should know that I am your creditor."

Hei Xiazi took the flashlight without a care, and put it into the storage bag Ji Xiao gave him, and said with a smile: "It's better to have too many debts than to be a burden. I'll give it to you next time I get something good."

Ji Xiao glanced at him with contempt and said with a curled lip: "You'd better give me the money directly. I don't need anything else you gave me except the bronze ware." After that, Ji Xiao turned and walked towards Zhang Qiling, completely ignoring Hei Xia Zi.

When Hei Xia Zi saw that something was wrong, he quickly chased after them and shouted, "I don't have any money. It's not easy for an old man like me to save some money. Besides, you two are so rich. Besides, it's more cost-effective to give you those things instead of leaving them with me."

Ji Xiao sneered after hearing this and said sarcastically, "Oh, who would complain about having too much money? Your wishful thinking can be heard on the other side of the ocean."

When Hei Xia Zi heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and shouted: "Hey, you, how can you not respect the elderly?"

Ji Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and walked straight to Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling felt Ji Xiao approaching, and without even looking back, he naturally reached out and held her hand, and gently kneaded it.

Zhang Qiling looked at them and said, "The mechanism here is designed in a staggered manner. Let's go to the front."

"Okay." The others responded in unison and then stepped forward.

Along the way, Wu Xie enthusiastically recounted what he had read about this place in his uncle's notes.

After walking to the tomb chamber at the end of the corridor, they found a coffin inside. When the lid of the coffin was slowly pushed open, a pungent smell hit their faces.

When they looked closely, they saw a person lying in the coffin, surrounded by thick corpse oil, making the whole scene look particularly eerie and terrifying.

Zhang Qiling went forward and carefully examined the coffin, then said to Wu Xie and the others, "Go find something to scoop out the water, be careful of the trap."

"Okay!" The two responded in unison, then turned and walked towards the other side of the tomb.
