Next Chapter

"Yun'er, you can't go any further, retreat!" , a deep male voice sounded in the dim light.

"Brother Yu, take a look again, it should be almost there, I have a feeling, there will definitely be a big discovery", the crisp female voice carried a hint of anxiety in her pleading tone.

A group of six people, holding flashlights in their hands, each with a suspicious expression, cautiously continued to grope their way forward in the tortuous passage that could only accommodate two people in parallel. The range illuminated by the light was limited, and it was dark in front and behind, and the deep maws of monsters were waiting for them to throw themselves into the net, and the sound of their rapid heartbeats could be heard in the bustling footsteps. The air in the passage was humid, with a slight oppression that made it difficult to breathe.

The person who spoke was a woman at the front of the line, with a slender figure, waist-length hair pulled up high with a fiery red ribbon, tight blue jeans, a white short-sleeved T-shirt, a bright red sports jacket around her waist was used as an apron, and the two sleeves were tied in a knot from the back waist to the lower abdomen, outlining the woman's slender waist, and carrying a black backpack behind her back. The simple outfit makes the woman look delicate and capable, and the fiery red ribbon hanging down her chest and the black hair like a waterfall add a touch of charm to her, like a fairy in the dark night.

She held the gossip plate in her left hand, held a flashlight in her right hand, and on her small face, a pair of big dark apricot eyes stared at the gossip plate where the pointer kept trembling, ignoring her cousin's nth persuasion.

It has been nearly three hours since I entered the mouth of the cave, the passage is winding, the walls are damp with a smell of corrosive earth, occasionally some strange plants cling to the walls, the more you go inside, the passage becomes more and more wide, and you can vaguely feel the wind coming out of it, the walls are not as damp as before, but the coolness in the air is becoming more and more obvious. It was quiet, I couldn't hear anything, and I didn't encounter any living objects along the way, not even a single reptile.

"Yun'er, let's go back, make a mark all the way, and when Mo'er returns, we'll come again", the woman's arm holding the gossip plate was dragged by the man walking behind her, and the deep male voice sounded again. The oppression in the air and this isolated silence forced the man walking in second to remind the woman in front of him again, the suffocating oppression was like an invisible hand holding his heart, as if the heart could burst with a single movement at any time.

The woman sighed lightly, turned around impatiently, stuffed the gossip plate into the backpack behind her back, tried her best to hide the anxiety in her heart, and looked at the man behind her beggingly.

"Brother Yu, just believe me once, okay, when I went on a mission with my brother before, I saw a lot of more terrible scenes than this, there must be good things in front, and when my brother returns, I will surprise him",

In the hazy light, the woman's still dark and clear eyes looked directly at the man behind her with a little grievance, and the impatience that flashed in her eyes was still seen by the man, and she felt a headache for this cousin man who had been undescended since she was a child, sometimes delicate and sometimes demonic, and a cup of ordinary mocha coffee made him unconsciously sell his soul and agree to her coming here, and when he realized that he was calculated by her again, he really wanted to regret this decision, and he had to abide by the agreement out of the dignity of a man, Just for this absurd dignity to lead him to guilt for the rest of his life.

After a moment of silence, he reluctantly let go of the hand holding her arm, turned around and said to the few people behind him: "Little five, little six, little seven, little eight, follow closely, there should be something in front, you must protect the eldest lady, you must also pay attention to safety" Several people responded in unison: "Hmm".

The woman turned again, took a deep breath, leaned against the wall with one hand, and took a cautious step. It is impossible not to be afraid, when she stood at the mouth of the cave that took eighteen hours to find, she felt an invisible force pulling her, this force became stronger and stronger as the cave went deeper, last year when she traveled with a group in the highest scenic spot in the tourist area, she saw at a glance this peak in the mountains filled with a layer of blue mist, she had a hunch that there must be an unusual treasure in this acne mountain. Curiosity drove her to come and see, and her strong sixth sense made her feel like it was worth the trip. It was not easy to get here, and she didn't want to give up lightly.

She is Chu Yun'er, the twenty-sixth generation descendant of the Chu family, and the only female spiritual master in the Chu family's lineage, and she will celebrate her sixteenth birthday in two months. Perhaps it is because the genes of the descendants of the Chu family can be automatically filtered, from the establishment of the clan to the present generation, all the births are boys, and Chu Yun'er is the first female descendant in the family in a hundred years. Because she is the old daughter of her parents, she has been loved by thousands of people since she was a child, and her personality is delicate but cute, and her favorite thing to do when she is still in high school is to travel around the world.

The Chu family has practiced the five elements of gossip, Qimen Dunjia and astrological divination, and the most talented spiritual master of this generation is Chu Yun'er's elder brother, named Chu Mo, who is cold and arrogant, and his divination and cultivation skills have surpassed Chu Qing, the head of the Chu family, and he is a businessman. is extremely fond of her only sister, but she is also the only one in the family who can suppress Chu Yun'er, in Chu Yun'er's words, she is not afraid of her brother, but she is just impressed by his unrivaled handsomeness and wisdom in the world.

followed by the oldest cousin Chu Yu in this generation, in fact, Chu Yuner is also very talented, but because she is a girl and has not yet graduated, she is not regarded as a key training object in the family.

In addition to the family business, the people in the Chu family are often hired by people to visit the tomb, see feng shui, practice evil spirits, and exceedance for the deceased, etc., Chu Mo was sent to Seattle by his grandfather, who is also the head of the Chu family, Chu Qing, known as the old man Qing, three days ago, to complete a task, and finally got rid of the control of this brother who was ten years older than her and her father and brother, and escaped the pursuit of the old man Qing, Chu Yun'er pleaded with the lobby brother Chu Yu, who has always loved her, and took several cousins in the clan to this mountain to hunt for treasures. It took two days of climbing and wading through the mountains to find this mountain with blue mist in my memory, and the trip really lived up to expectations.

The width of the passage is about one meter and five wide, the walls and the ground are paved with stones, flat as the cement road outside, and there seems to be a corner in front of it, Chu Yu grabbed Chu Yun'er's hand again and warned his cousins and cousins:

"Yun'er, you go behind me, Xiao Wu, be careful",

After saying that, he hesitated slightly, then strode to the corner, his right hand held on the bronze sword handle about a foot long that was obliquely pinned to his waist, and his left hand held a flashlight, and then raised his foot to walk out of the corner, and in the faint light, a two-meter-high stone door came into view.

"Yun'er, there seems to be an open stone door in front, there is something in the door, you guys are standing here, I'll go over and take a look first"

"Cousin, be careful"

"Hmm"

Chu Yun'er and a few cousins also walked out of the corner, saw Chu Yu pull out the bronze sword, clenched his palm, and slowly approached the stone gate vigilantly.

"Yun'er, it seems to be an ancient tomb, someone should have been here"
