"Can you talk to him?" Lime suddenly looked at me and asked.
"Yes, he has saved me many times. Do you remember the last time? It was when we were trapped in the Impossible Staircase. That was when I first strongly felt that there was another soul inside me. I could sense his emotions, and he could easily know my thoughts. Although he often mocks me, he does help me a lot... It's just that after that time, I couldn't feel him anymore..."
"Fengfeng, are you joking? Are you trying to mess with me?" Xianxian was stunned by what I said, still half in disbelief.
To my surprise, Lime asked me again, "When was it?"
"That time I almost thought I was going to die. You have no idea; so many corpses were crawling towards me that I nearly freaked out! Maybe it was because I was so overwhelmed that I turned my despair into strength. I stood up, my hands stopped shaking, and my legs stopped trembling. I felt like I wasn't afraid of anything, and I thought I could do anything... That's my secret." After a pause, I quietly asked, "Do you think I'm crazy..." This secret felt too heavy; I hoped someone could help share the burden, at least pull me back when I was heading down the wrong path.
Unknowingly, I had completely regarded them as my true brothers... Even Dabao didn't know this; these two had only known me for less than a month...
"Since you say so, This Lord must believe you!" Xianxian patted my shoulder and added, "Don't think too much."
Not thinking too much was impossible. Since Lime asked like that, did he know something? I quickly stared into his eyes and asked, "Lime, do you know why?"
"I've heard of something similar before." Just when I thought this mystery would finally be solved, Lime shook his head again and said, "It's been a long time; I can't remember clearly."
"It's okay. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and we know. I feel that as long as we keep going forward, we will definitely uncover all the mysteries," Xianxian comforted me.
I nodded but suddenly felt the temperature drop significantly. Since I only had one piece of clothing on, I shivered from the cold. Rubbing my palms together, I asked in confusion, "Did you find it funny that it suddenly got cold?"
"It’s not just getting cold..." Xianxian suddenly exclaimed, looking warily behind me.
In that moment, I also raised my head and saw the surrounding scene! Right behind Xianxian and Lime, those Terracotta Warriors had somehow turned to face us, and they did so without making a sound! I firmly believed that the vigilance of the three of us was strong enough, so when I suddenly saw faces resembling horses staring at us with piercing gazes, I felt not only fear but also a deep shock!
"I can't believe we’re seeing ghosts alive..." Xianxian quickly loaded a few bullets and took out his stainless steel knife.
Lime held an ancient sword in one hand and a gun in the other, dressed in black tactical gear along with his weapons, looking incredibly cool. Then I looked at myself; all I had was a dagger, my pants were uneven in length, and there was a blood-stained hole poking through one of them...
They say comparing oneself to others is futile; I certainly didn’t want to do that. As I spoke, I began to examine the surrounding warriors. All of them were cast from bronze, standing at the same height, wearing elongated horse-faced masks. Each warrior held a Ghost Head Blade, its blade curved like a crescent moon, with a fierce ghost head on the handle. Just their numbers alone were enough to crush us...
We stood in silence facing each other when suddenly, those Terracotta Warriors moved! They all pointed their Ghost Head Blades at us. My hand trembled slightly; I couldn’t imagine what kind of mechanism this was—it was too bizarre, so bizarre that I could clearly feel their gaze fixed on me! Through their bronze-cast eyes, cold and merciless, there was an intense feeling of being watched.
"Should we fight?" Xianxian asked.
"Can we win?" I replied.
"No way," Lime said confidently.
"What do we do then?" Both Xianxian and I asked simultaneously.
"Run!" Lime said.
I paused for a moment; the best strategy is to flee, right? Alright then, let’s run! With that thought in mind, I followed Lime and Xianxian as they started running. At that moment, a thunderous rumble echoed from behind us—one, two, three... I realized that every time we passed by a Terracotta Warrior, it came to life as if resurrected! Before we knew it, chaos erupted behind us. We were forced to keep running forward, heading towards that Crystal Coffin!
Running along, Lime suddenly stopped. At the same time, countless Ghost Head Blades came slashing towards us. In the chaos, I hurriedly asked Lime what was wrong. While fending off a Terracotta Warrior, Lime rummaged through his backpack and simply said, "There's Mercury Poisoning!" As he spoke, he threw something towards me and Xianxian. I quickly caught it and found it was a small Gas Mask!
Xianxian happily praised Lime as soon as she caught it and quickly put it on. Seeing this, I hurriedly donned mine as well, instantly feeling the air become a bit fresher.
However, Mercury Poisoning? Could it be...
Could that clear pool I saw earlier actually be a Mercury Pool! It is no secret that the Underworld is filled with Mercury, poisoning treasure hunters with toxic mercury vapor. Although this fact has already been confirmed by archaeologists and geologists using new geochemical exploration methods, seeing it with my own eyes is another matter!
I had never seen the Mercury Pool in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, but this pool here is not small either. It truly looked substantial from above. If Lime hadn't discovered it early, I might have been poisoned to death before even reaching that Mercury Pool!
The sounds of clashing swords grew louder and heavier, and I could even feel the ground trembling beneath us!
As the three of us fought desperately against the attacks of the Terracotta Warriors, we retreated towards the center, where the Crystal Coffin in the Mercury Pool was located. The closer we got to the center, the more intense and powerful the attacks from the surrounding Terracotta Warriors became. I felt like my right hand was about to go numb! But facing so many Terracotta Warriors, resisting was not something we could easily manage. Before long, our bodies were covered in numerous wounds. At a critical moment, I realized that Lemon's precious blood was indeed only effective against that Black Vine!
We fought bravely because of our unwavering belief!
We were not fighting alone; we had strong and close partners!
We would never give up until the very last second...
