Chapter 76: A Room Full of Coffins, Lemon Has Arrived
"Grab me, there's a way out!" Just as my fingers were about to catch fire, I suddenly heard Xianxian's voice. My anxious heart calmed down in an instant, especially when I heard the words "there's a way out." Without hesitation, I threw the nearly burnt clothing down into the Bloodsucker Spider below, then pushed off with my feet and grabbed a hand that was reaching down from above. At the same time, that hand pulled me up with all its strength. The last flicker of flame was instantly extinguished in the Blood Sea below, which was less than half a meter deep, and in that brief moment, I climbed up.
The place where we were now was just a small cave, only half a meter high. There was no time to look around or think much; as soon as I climbed up, Xianxian and I began to crawl into the cave.
"It's a Tomb Hole!" Just as Xianxian spoke, his entire body fell down quickly and disappeared. Before I could react, I also lost my footing and fell downward. Why did this scene feel so familiar for a moment?
"Oh my God!" I could hardly believe what I was seeing below...
In the five or six seconds of falling, my arm was suddenly grabbed by Xianxian. I looked up and saw him hanging upside down from a beam, holding onto me tightly. His face was slightly flushed as he whispered to me, "Go up." I nodded and grabbed his arm, using his body to start climbing up. In no time, I reached the beam, and at that moment, Xianxian bent his body and flipped over.
We were at least two meters above the ground now. The beams above were numerous and neatly arranged, looking very sturdy. We held onto the beams and looked down at the scene below.
In my second glance, I couldn't help but marvel again! Below was over ten thousand square meters filled with Black Coffins! The coffins were not arranged neatly; instead, they formed layers of circles around each other, and this massive tomb chamber was also circular in structure! I could hardly describe what I was seeing; the visual impact was simply overwhelming! It was impossible to convey its grandeur without seeing it in person!
What could be at the center of this "circle"? I could hardly wait to see what was in the middle. Just as I took a few steps forward, Xianxian suddenly pulled me back. Confused, I looked at him and saw him staring at me intently. He asked, "Fengfeng, tell me honestly, when did you become so powerful? You couldn't even beat my little finger before!"
Seeing the curiosity in his eyes that he couldn't hide, I just smiled mysteriously and shook my finger. "The Buddha says: it cannot be spoken." After saying that, I ignored Xianxian's expression and walked directly toward the center of the circle of coffins. However, as I moved closer to the center, it seemed like the beams became sparser and farther apart. Oh no, this is not fair! Looking ahead at a beam nearly two meters away, I swallowed hard, conflicted about whether to jump over. Jumping would be great if successful. But if I didn't make it... Looking down below would surely land me on a coffin; if whoever is lying inside got angry and rose from their grave... that wouldn't be good...
"What are you looking at?" Xianxian's voice came from behind me. I glanced back at him just as I was about to say there was no way forward when I noticed he had a rope in his hand and was climbing down it. Suddenly excited, I walked over and asked, "Lord Xianxian, where did you get this rope?" I remembered we both didn't have any ropes!
"What are you talking about? It's been here all along, can't you see?" Xianxian glanced at me with a disdainful smile.
Oh really? I chuckled awkwardly and said, "Of course I saw it..." Yeah, right.
Xianxian ignored me and just shook his head helplessly. Once he climbed down, I followed the rope down as well. I had no idea when this rope was left here or if it could support the weight of two people, so it was better to be cautious!
Unfortunately, no matter how carefully I climbed, I heard a loud snap—the rope broke! It actually snapped while I was climbing! Damn... Before I could finish cursing, I had already fallen onto a coffin, feeling a sharp pain in my back. My little bones can't take this kind of torture; if I break something, it won't be fun!
Just as I was about to get up, Xianxian suddenly shot me a glare and said, "Don't move!"
Upon hearing that, I immediately froze in place, my posture still in the awkward position of trying to climb. At that moment, before I could ask what was going on, strange sounds began to emerge around us. No! Every coffin seemed to be making grinding noises. Could it be that they were all rising from the dead? My palms were sweaty; it felt like the coffin beneath me was moving. Was that just my imagination?
"Bang bang bang..." I heard muffled sounds coming from below, as if something was knocking on the coffin. My heart immediately jumped to an S-level alert status. I quickly jumped out of the coffin and retreated ten steps back. From above, it looked like there were coffins packed tightly together, but once down here, I realized there was still some distance between each coffin. Xianxian clearly heard the noise too, so we both retreated to a safer distance.
Bang... Another muffled sound came from the coffin I had just sat in; the black lid actually moved slightly. I immediately drew my dagger and kept a wary eye on the coffin. If anything came out, I'd stab it right away!
The coffin continued to shake as if something inside desperately wanted to get out. The lid slowly began to lift when suddenly—bang! The lid flipped open violently, and a black head poked out. In that instant, I swung my dagger toward the head; it seemed that the black figure caught my thrown dagger with a side movement just as the lid hit the ground. Then the person inside the coffin flipped over and jumped out!
When I saw who it was, I was momentarily stunned. Jet Black hair was somewhat messy, with a high nose bridge and slightly pursed Crimson Lips—his features were exquisitely sculpted as if crafted by an artist. He would definitely turn heads on the street! He cast a calm glance at me; his eyes held an unfathomable meaning that quickly faded.
I initially thought Xianxian was already handsome enough, but now looking at Lime wasn't bad either. No, they weren't even in the same style; Xianxian's handsomeness was flamboyant and trendy while Lime's was understated yet radiated brilliance. And me? Haha, as their brother, I'm not too shabby either—cough cough... almost tripped over my own tongue.
"Lime, how could it be you..." I awkwardly scratched my head; just moments ago, I almost stabbed him! But thankfully it was Lime; otherwise...
Lime furrowed his brow as he walked towards me, handing me the dagger and correcting, "Lime."
He didn't seem too pleased with the nickname "Lemon." Oh well, I think it suits him just fine, heh.
"Brother Lime, long time no see! If we had any past grievances, please don't take them to heart. From now on, the three of us are on the same side!" Xianxian said with a bright smile, showing no signs of awkwardness upon seeing Lime.
Lime merely glanced at him lightly and said nothing, seemingly acquiescing.
"Someone is coming," Lime suddenly said.
