Chapter 52: Unknown Fear

Look carefully? After hearing my words, Su Rou and Ling Ruyue began to carefully observe the snake bones. Su Rou looked for a long time and didn’t find anything wrong, but Ling Ruyue only looked at it for a short while, and her expression began to change to the same as mine, becoming fearful and worried.

“What’s wrong?” Su Rou said in dissatisfaction. He really didn’t see anything wrong.

“How can you be so stupid? Didn’t you see it just now? There are obvious signs of gnawing on the bone, which means there are teeth marks.” Ling Ruyue’s voice became shrill when she spoke to Su Rou because of her fear, unlike her usual cute voice.

“Teeth marks? What’s wrong with teeth marks? You’re the only ones who are scared…” Suddenly, Su Rou stopped talking and jumped up, saying, “So that means that such a powerful snake was eaten by something else?

I really admire Su Rou. That big pile of fat meat can jump so high!

Yes, when I accidentally touched the snake bones just now, I felt some unevenness. This feeling was very obvious. When I was stimulated by the coldness of the snake bones and took my hand away, I subconsciously glanced at it and found the gnawed tooth marks.

As a result, I looked more carefully and found more. Faced with the excited Su Rou, I said, “The worst thing is not this. The fact that the Black Man was eaten here means that the thing that ate it is in this tomb.”

“The fact that it could eat this Black Man means that it is definitely stronger than the Black Man,” Ling Ruyue added.

“You guys, stop talking. You’re making me feel creepy. At least I know what this big snake is, and I have some idea, but…” Su Rou couldn’t continue. At that moment, a sound of “bang” suddenly came from the empty tomb.

The three of us looked at each other in horror, and Su Rou said to me in a trembling voice, “Sanwa, open your third eye and take a look.”

I grabbed Su Rou with one hand and Ling Ruyue with the other and said, “Run!”

After that, I took them both and ran back and forth on the road. I knew that if we wanted to be safe, there was only one place that was the safest.

The two of them simply ran after me subconsciously. Behind us, a louder sound of ‘clang’ came from somewhere else in the tomb, but I was not the least bit curious.

The three of us ran extremely fast, almost superhumanly, and although there were many human bones on the dirt road, making us stumble and fall, we still managed to crawl back to the tomb room under the gap.

“Sanwa, how do we get up there?” Su Rou shouted anxiously.

I shouted in a breath, “No need to go up, I have a way!” In the meantime, I had already snatched Ling Ruyue’s oil lamp and rushed to the door, feeling around carefully to find it.

At this moment, something even worse happened. We heard a loud roar, but we didn’t know what it was. Ling Ruyue was a little girl after all, and she suddenly cried out, “I miss my grandma, I miss my sister…”

Su Rou was beside himself with panic, and he couldn’t even comfort Ling Ruyue.

Calm down, I took a deep breath and told myself to stay calm. Finally, I found what I was looking for and pressed it down hard. The whole tomb room shook, and a stone door fell with a loud bang.

With the falling of the stone door, a little sense of security returned to our hearts. I took a breath and walked over to Su Rou and Ling Ruyue and sat down in front of them.

“Master said that we have to bear the consequences of our own actions. The good or bad of the consequences depends on the attitude we face them with! We are the ones who have to go down into the tomb, so we have to bear the consequences now. Ruoyue, don’t cry.” I said this to Ling Ruyue, and also to myself.

Ling Ruyue sobbed and finally stopped crying. This embarrassing run had made her face flushed and covered her beautiful face.

Su Rou sighed and silently took out the kitchen knife and rolling pin. After a moment of thought, he handed the rolling pin to me and said, “Sanwa, my dad once said that if you have something in your hands, you should have the confidence to fight. I don’t know what kind of guy will come outside, but if we can’t stop him, we’ll fight.”

Su Rou never lacked the temperament of a loner! Otherwise, how could he be the leader of the gangsters at the Xiangchang Middle School? It wasn’t because he was born with it.

I clenched the rolling pin and nodded. When it comes to that moment, there is only one way to go: to fight desperately. The best thing about being a teenager is that there is always a courage to go all out.

And my master said that as long as it’s something physical, physical attacks are useful, no matter what kind of monster it is!

In the past, the master’s past, wasn’t that fierce weasel also beaten to a serious injury by a group of people?

After Ling Ruyue calmed down, she wiped her tears from her face with her hand, making her face look even more disheveled. But no one cared about that now. Not even the little girl she had been so careful to tidy up. She just asked, “Third brother, how did you know there was a door here?”

“It’s written there.” I pointed to the text on the mural and said, “The man said that he was very good at traps and found that there was a stone door trap in this simple tomb, which could almost be used as a small broken dragon stone. He didn’t know why there was one here, but in order to avoid the big snake, he hid here, put down this stone door, and finally he was tortured by hunger and thirst and decided to go out and fight. It was hard to predict whether he would live or die, so he left this message here.”

Ling Ruyue nodded and fell silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Su Rou took out steamed buns from his bag and handed them to us, saying, “Eat first. When you’re full, you’ll have the strength to fight.”

At this moment, a series of tremors came from the ground we were sitting on. After listening carefully, there were very indistinct footsteps. What kind of guy could cause such a big tremor?

Su Rou was a little nervous, and the steamed bun in his hand was almost squashed flat by him.

Ling Ruyue said, “Third Brother, you are too panicked, so you haven’t thought of one problem. The gap above our heads wasn’t there before the person who left the message came, otherwise how could a two-meter-high gap trap him here?”

Su Rou didn’t even look up and said, “What does that prove?”

“It means we can get out of here! That stone door can help us block the monster!” I was excited and stuffed the steamed buns and rolling pin back into Su Rou’s backpack.

The shock on the ground was getting stronger and stronger, and the footsteps were getting clearer and clearer. I yelled without saying a word: “Su Rou, you go first. I’ll carry you up. There’s no way to pull you up later.”

With a glimmer of hope, anyone would grab onto it desperately. The gap was only about two meters high. I first laboriously carried Su Rou up, then I picked up Ling Ruyue, and Su Rou pulled her up, getting Ling Ruyue up as well.

Finally, I took a deep breath and shouted, “Su Rou, hold the oil lamp well. I’ll run a few steps, then jump up and down on the ground. Just grab me.”

“Mmm!” Su Rou nodded heavily.

Fortunately, I had always practiced it during the week, and although I was not very proficient in light bodywork, I was still better at jumping than the average person. I kept backing up until I reached the stone gate, took a deep breath, and was about to take a few steps forward when I felt a very strong tremor on the ground.

I heard very clear footsteps, ‘thump, thump, thump’. I can’t describe what it felt like.

But the sound of the footsteps was not the sound of footsteps on the bricks, but the dull sound of footsteps on the mud.

“Sanwa!” Su Rou shouted loudly, and he and Ling Ruyue heard it too.

I tried to calm myself down and stood up again. At this time, the stone door behind me also began to shake. How did it know that we were here?

Everything in this ancient tomb is a mystery.

Without thinking, I started running. The wind was howling in my ears. When I was about to reach the wall, I reached out and jumped with all my might. Su Rou grabbed me, but the inertia was too great, and he was almost pulled out of the hole he was in.

“Su Rou, hold on tight!” My wrist was pinched by Su Rou, and I yelled!

“Don’t worry, even if someone up there wants to kill me, I won’t let go!” Su Rou said these words almost with gritted teeth.

Then, with this force, my other hand finally managed to grab the edge of the gap, and the stone door of the tomb room shook even more violently…
