Chapter 1533
The half-hour life-and-death escape was like a long nightmare.
Huo Jilin ran wildly in front, and Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan followed closely behind.
The three people's clothes were soaked with sweat, and their breathing was as rapid as an old bellows.
The alley was narrow and dark, full of debris, and every step forward seemed to be overcoming thousands of difficulties and dangers.
Huo Jilin was agile and shuttled through it like a monkey, and his eyes were firm and resolute.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan tried their best and were out of breath.
"Hurry! Don't stop!"
Huo Jilin shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the narrow alley.
Hu Bayi gritted his teeth, his face full of sweat and dust: "I... I won't be knocked down so easily!"
Wang Kaixuan ran while panting and shouting: "Oh my God, this is really going to kill me!"
Finally, when the three were almost exhausted.
They successfully rushed out of the deep alley and got rid of the adventurers who were chasing them relentlessly.
Huo Jilin supported his knees with his hands, breathing heavily, and the tension in his heart was slightly relieved.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan collapsed directly to the ground, breathing in the fresh air.
"Finally escaped." Wang Kaixuan said weakly.
Huo Jilin stood up and was about to speak.
But suddenly he felt a strange fluctuation coming from the mysterious jade pendant in his hand.
He frowned and looked at the jade pendant carefully.
Hu Bayi noticed Huo Jilin's abnormality and asked, "What's wrong?"
Huo Jilin did not answer immediately, but studied the jade pendant attentively.
After a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "I discovered the secret of this jade pendant!"
Wang Kaixuan suddenly became alert and sat up: "What secret?"
Huo Jilin showed the jade pendant to them, and saw that there was a miniature map looming inside the jade pendant.
"This map points to an ancient tomb of King Hui on Huya Mountain east of the town!" Huo Jilin said.
Hu Bayi stared at the jade pendant, thought for a moment and said:
"This ancient tomb of King Hui must be not simple, maybe it hides huge dangers."
Wang Kaixuan didn't care: "What are you afraid of? Haven't we encountered enough dangers along the way?"
Huo Jilin's eyes were firm.
"If you want to know all the secrets of this jade pendant, you can only go to the tomb of King Hui to find out if you can find any useful clues."
Hu Bayi hesitated for a moment: "This..."
Seeing this, Wang Kaixuan said: "Old Hu, Brother Huo has mysterious powers, it's right to follow him!"
Hu Bayi finally nodded: "Okay, let's go!"
After a short rest, the three of them headed towards Huya Mountain east of the town.
Along the way, Huo Jilin was thinking about the secrets in the jade pendant, feeling both excited and nervous.
Hu Bayi observed the surrounding environment and was alert to possible dangers.
Wang Kaixuan kept muttering: "I hope there will be some big gains this time."
Arriving at the foot of Huya Mountain, looking at the towering peaks.
The three of them felt an invisible pressure.
Huo Jilin took a deep breath: "Let's go, no matter what's ahead, we have to go."
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan followed him and climbed up along the rugged mountain road.
The mountain road was steep and difficult to walk on. Huo Jilin led the way and cut the thorns with the weapon in his hand.
Hu Bayi reminded: "Everyone, be careful with your feet, don't step on the air."
Wang Kaixuan stumbled and almost fell: "Ouch, this road is really difficult to walk!"
After walking for an unknown period of time, they finally found the ancient tomb of King Hui hidden in the mountains and forests.
The entrance of the ancient tomb was covered by vines and weeds, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.
Huo Jilin stepped forward and carefully pushed away the weeds: "This is it."
Hu Bayi took out a flashlight from his backpack: "Be prepared, I don't know what you will encounter after entering."
Wang Kaixuan swallowed his saliva: "We are here, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
The three stepped into the ancient tomb, and an old and terrible breath hit them!
Huo...
The torch in Huo Jilin's hand illuminated the dark passage ahead.
The mottled marks on the wall seemed to tell an ancient story.
"This place looks spooky, we have to be careful."
Wang Kaixuan said in a low voice, with a tremor in his voice.
Hu Bayi tightened the engineer shovel in his hand and responded: "Well, everyone should not take it lightly."
Huo Jilin walked forward cautiously, his eyes constantly observing the surroundings.
Suddenly, a huge bat flew over his head, and Wang Kaixuan screamed "Oh my God" in fear.
"Why are you screaming? Don't scare yourself!" Hu Bayi scolded.
Wang Kaixuan patted his chest: "How can I not be scared? Who knows what else there is."
The three continued to move forward. The ground under their feet was a little wet and made a "creaking" sound.
"This place feels weird. Is there any mechanism?" Wang Kaixuan said worriedly.
Huo Jilin stopped and carefully checked the ground and the wall: "Be careful."
Just then, there was a "rustling" sound from the front, as if something was moving quickly.
Huo Jilin raised the torch and saw a group of black insects rushing towards them.
"No, it's the extinct poisonous ants!" Hu Bayi's face changed.
"Run!"
Huo Jilin shouted and turned to run in another direction.
The three ran desperately in the ancient tomb, and the poisonous ants chased them closely.
"What can we do?" Wang Kaixuan asked while running.
Hu Bayi panted and said: "See if there is a place to hide."
Huo Jilin suddenly found a narrow passage next to him, "Quick, go this way! "
The three of them entered the passage, but the extinct poisonous ants could not enter because of their large size.
"Huh, I finally escaped." Wang Kaixuan sat down on the ground.
Hu Bayi looked at the jade pendant in Huo Jilin's hand and said:
"What secrets does this jade pendant hide that is worth our desperate efforts."
Huo Jilin's eyes were firm: "No matter what, since we are here, we have to find out."
After a short rest, they continued to move forward.
As they walked, they came to a spacious tomb.
A huge sarcophagus was placed in the middle of the tomb.
Wang Kaixuan wanted to get closer to the sarcophagus out of curiosity, but was stopped by Hu Bayi: "Don't move, be careful of danger."
Huo Jilin walked around the sarcophagus and said: "This sarcophagus doesn't look simple."
Just then, the sarcophagus suddenly shook, as if something was about to rush out of it.
"Not good, run! "Hu Bayi shouted.
The three of them quickly retreated, the lid of the sarcophagus slowly rose, and a pungent smell filled the air.
"What...what is this?" Wang Kaixuan looked at the sarcophagus in horror.
I saw a huge monster standing up from the sarcophagus, it was huge and had a hideous face.
"It's the tomb-guarding beast!" Huo Jilin said.
The tomb-guarding beast roared and pounced on them.
Huo Jilin stepped forward and swung the weapon in his hand at the tomb-guarding beast.
Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan were not to be outdone, and they joined the battle one after another.
"This guy is thick-skinned and hard to deal with!" Hu Bayi shouted.
Wang Kaixuan dodged and said, "We have to fight!"
