Volume 1 The Ruins of the Immortal Mountain Chapter 98 Escape

I was noncommittal, I just wanted to continue to listen to Zeng Xiaomi's matter.

"And what's next?" The altar asked her coldly.

"At that time, the ghost was only about half a meter away. He smiled at me, then reached out his right hand and grabbed my face. I was terrified, and I didn't know where I got the strength and guts, so I pushed him hard. But I didn't expect that the ghost was like a leaf, floating out a long way with the power of my push, dozens of meters long......" Zeng Xiaomi showed a look of disbelief, "At the moment when the ghost landed, there were suddenly a lot of ghosts around it, some wearing ancient clothes, some wearing modern clothes, all with hideous faces and terrifying appearances, rushed towards me...... I was terrified and didn't know what to do. At this time, a man's voice came to my head - go out, close the door, they won't get out...... At that time, I didn't think too much about it, turned around and ran outside the stone gate. I don't know where I got the strength to close the heavy stone door by myself......"

"Didn't you see us?" I asked Zeng Xiaomi.

"No......" Zeng Xiaomi shook her head with tears in her eyes and said, "If I see you, I won't lock you up in anything!" ”

Xu Yunshu comforted Zeng Xiaomi here, turned her head and said to a few of us: "I have known Xiaomi for so many years, she will never be the kind of person you think." If she locked a few of you inside, there might still be people who believe it, but they will never lock me up with me......" Although Xu Yunshu's last sentence was a joke, it also affirmed that Zeng Xiaomi would not do that kind of thing that harmed others and benefited herself.

"I also believe that Xiaomi is not the kind of person who is treacherous." Hua Tianyu said.

Seeing Xu Yunshu and Hua Tianyu standing on Zeng Xiaomi's side so firmly, Tanzi didn't want to say anything, just looked at me to see if I had anything to say.

I asked Zeng Xiaomi: "You said that among the ghosts you saw were wearing modern clothes, how many people were there, what did they all look like?" ”

Zeng Xiaomi said: "I didn't pay much attention to anything else, but the most conspicuous thing was the people from the four archaeological institutes, their clothes were all the same, which was particularly conspicuous." ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it! ”

Zeng Xiaomi thought hard for a long time and said, "I was also very scared at that time, and I didn't see it too clearly...... I remember that each of them was drenched in flesh and blood, missing arms and legs, especially the one who rushed to the front, and his face was only half gone, missing an arm and a leg, and a big hole in his stomach, and half of his intestines drooped to the ground, and he jumped and ran towards me......"

I stopped, looked at Tanzi, Xu Yunshu and Hua Tianyu, and was also surprised to see them. The person Zeng Xiaomi described was the archaeologist leaning on the hanging coffin. Zeng Xiaomi obviously didn't go inside at that time, if she did, there was no reason why we couldn't find out, but why would she know about the person's death? Could it be that she saw the ghosts of those people, as she said? Moreover, she said that a voice in her head urged her to close the door, which was a sign of a ghost, and if she didn't have a ghost, with her height of less than one meter six and her slender and weak body, she might not be able to push the stone door.

"And after that? How did you end up by the river? I asked her then.

Zeng Xiaomi recalled with palpitations: "Although I closed the stone door at that time, I still felt very scared. In the past, when I was at home, I would hold my puppet if I was scared...... So I ran to Wei Peng's side and held him in my arms, so that my heart calmed down a little. ”

"Just when I picked up Wei Peng, someone tapped me on the shoulder behind me, and I turned my head to see that there were two people standing behind me......"

"Who is it?" I hurriedly asked.

"Those two people look very terrifying, as if they have been skinned alive, just like the bloody corpse you mentioned earlier...... They appeared behind me, and I was startled and wanted to get up and run, but I sat on the ground with Wei Peng in my arms. At that moment, the two bloody corpses swooped down on me, and I screamed and didn't know anything. When I woke up again, I was rescued by you by the river......"

I thought about it, Zeng Xiaomi said that she saw the bloody corpses, but the two bloody corpses were entangled with us in the cave at that time, and there was no shadow of the bloody corpses outside......

"Could it be that you are mistaken, maybe you didn't see the blood corpses, but the two mountain ghosts?" I asked Zeng Xiaomi.

"Impossible! I can see it clearly, and it's not like I've never seen the appearance of a mountain ghost, so tall...... But those two bloody corpses are only a little taller than ordinary people......" Zeng Xiaomi shook her head in denial.

Now I'm sure Zeng Xiaomi should really be hell. When she closed the door, although she could see us, the bloody corpse was far away from her, and with the color of blood, it was impossible for her to see the bloody corpse. But where did those demons come from? Could it be because the soul stone fell? It's really possible to think about it. When Zeng Xiaomi first heard someone summon her, it was when the Soul Suppression Stone was knocked down by a bloody corpse, and the ghosts she saw should be the unjust souls of those who died inside......

Just as I stopped and pondered, the roar of the mountain ghost came from the depths of the cave. This voice once again startled us, reminding us that we are still in danger and that we must not let our guard down. So, we immediately prepared to leave quickly.

But before we could take a few steps, the ground suddenly shook a few times, and the five of us could barely stand on our feet. Some small pieces of stone on the roof of the cave fell with a crackle, and dust fell at the same time.

"What's going on? Is there an earthquake or is the hole going to collapse? The jar shone the flashlight overhead.

"Shut your crow's mouth......" Before I could finish speaking, there were many cracks in the ground, much to the surprise of several of us. But we were soon reassured, because the tearing in the ground soon stopped. The cracks were not small and numerous, but they didn't leave a single person.

A few of us waited a little longer, and we were relieved to see that there was no more turmoil around the cave. The altar said, "It turned out to be just a false alarm...... before he could finish speaking, a rapid stream of water burst out of those torn cracks, two or three meters high, forming fountains.

At the same time, the water of the underground river also rose. In the blink of an eye, it was past the river's edge and overflowed to our feet. In just a few tens of seconds, the icy groundwater has already crossed our feet.

"Let's go, let's go!" I yelled, "Look at how fast the water rises, it won't be long before it gets past us!" ”

The five of us didn't care about the icy underground river, and hurried back the way we came.

By the time we reached the bottom of the hole where the coffin had been placed, the cold water had reached our waists. I only felt that I was no longer aware of the area from the waist down, and I was only moving mechanically as I walked forward.

Going down to the hole, we quickly found two ropes, one of which we had brought down earlier, and the other that they had left behind for the glasses. Xu Yunshu, Zeng Xiaomi, Tanzi, and Hua Tianyu all climbed up along the rope, and I was the last. I first tied Xiao Ai's body to a rope and asked them to pull her up on it, and then I tied the other rope around my waist. By the time it was my turn to go up, the water at the bottom of the cave was up to my chin. At this time, my legs had been completely paralyzed by the cold water blisters, and I lost consciousness, so I had no strength to climb at all, so I could only rely on the altar and a few of them to drag me up.

The water at the bottom of the cave rose extremely fast, and in a short time, it had already reached the level where the hundred coffins were stored. At this time, we have been resting for a while, and we have somewhat eased up. But in the face of the rapidly rising water, we didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly left here.
