Chapter 4: Dragon Scale Dagger 4

  Dragon Scale Dagger 4

  "What should we do?"

  "What a sinister grave!"

  "But our time is running out, we must quickly take the divine artifact back, otherwise...otherwise our fate will be worse than dying in the tomb!"

  The men were discussing over there, and Wen Baiyu quickly made a gesture to Wan Qi Jinghou, indicating that he should hurry up and rescue himself.

  But Wan Xi Jing Hou didn't seem to be listening at all, his eyes fixed on those few men, slightly furrowed brows, as if thinking about something.

  The man who was called "Big Brother" hesitated for a long time and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Prepare the things, let's go to the grave!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, everyone took action. Wan Xi Jing Hou patted Wen Bai Yu's shoulder twice, seemingly signaling him not to be afraid, and then disappeared in a flash.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened, staring fixedly at the big tree beside him. Wan Zongjinghou's movements were like a ghost, he had just clearly seen with his own eyes, without even blinking, but that person was gone!

  Wen Baiyu broke out in a cold sweat, thinking to himself that it couldn't be his own illusion...

  A fierce man walked over, grabbed Wen Baiyu's collar and pulled him up, saying: "Let's go!"

  He pulled Wen Baiyu over and said, "Big brother, why don't we let this little guy take the lead. If there's really something evil in the tomb, we can..."

  "Nonsense!"

  That big brother drank a sentence and said: "Lao Wu! How can you be so reckless! This little brat is the one Lao Da specifically wants, and his blood... If there really is a nine-death-one-life in the grave, it's better to use him to save lives."

  Wen Baiyu listened more and more uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Everyone... I'm just a small restaurant owner, except for cooking, I don't know anything else, why are you catching me?"

  Lao Wu scolded and cursed as he pushed him, saying: "No more nonsense, if you talk nonsense again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

  Wen Baiyu quickly shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak nonsense again.

  Some people formed a vanguard, with Wen Baiyu squeezed in between, pushing and shoving their way towards the entrance of the cave.

  Wen Baiyu felt his legs trembling, from birth to now, he was a good citizen, at most sweeping the tomb on Qingming Festival, never entered the tomb, digging someone else's grave was too damaging to his moral integrity, what if a real zombie came out, he wasn't even married yet!

  The cave was extremely dark, everyone was holding flashlights, and at the end of the cave, there were suddenly many tomb passages.

  Everyone was shocked at this moment. Lao Wu said: "Big brother, I have been buried for so many years and have never seen so many tomb paths. How long will it take to walk through?"

  "Time is running out, we can only split up to search. With so many tomb paths, it seems that the owner of this tomb still has a big background. The divine instrument must be inside."

  Everyone was divided into groups of two, with Lao Wu and Da Ge taking Wen Baiyu along. I don't know what kind of high-tech communication device they used, but they were always in contact with each other. Each person had a watch on their wrist, which had a backup light source and the dial was a display screen that could make calls and also show each other's images.

  Wen Baiyu was still thinking that this watch was more advanced than the Apple Watch, when he was pushed by Lao Wu and said: "Don't dawdle, let's go!"

  Wen Baiyu swallowed a mouthful of saliva and followed the big brother in front of him, slowly walking inside.

  The path was curved, long and seemingly endless. They walked for about half an hour, but the curved path continued to stretch out before and behind them, with even the stone walls on either side looking identical.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that her throat rolled, and she whispered: "That... we... are we hitting the wall?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the big brother and Old Five both stopped in their tracks. Old Five cursed and said: "What do you know! Ha ha, let me tell you, we've been to more graves than you've eaten salt! Don't even mention zongzi, not even a ghost shadow has been seen, and even if there are traps inside the grave, because of the long years, they can't be used anymore. What's there to fear? Moreover...

  Just as he was speaking, both men's watches lit up, apparently someone was calling them.

  Two people pressed their watches and connected the video, because the dial was too small, Wen Baiyu didn't dare to stretch her head to look, and just heard the sound of "rustling... rustling..."

  Then a man shouted: "Help! Help... help!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!"

  Wen Baiyu's legs turned cold with fear, and she subconsciously looked at the small screen, which was pitch black and could only vaguely see that the camera was shaking violently. When a person is running, the camera is in their hand, of course it will shake, but this kind of shaking doesn't look like running...

  The camera shakes not only from side to side and up and down, but also flips over and over, with the screen always showing stone walls and stone ground.

  Wen Baiyu's legs went soft, her voice was trembling, pointing at her watch, saying: "There... there is blood on the ground..."

  "Shh!"

  The big brother let out a loud hiss, and Wen Baiyu only then remembered that the watch had sound as well as images, so the other person must have heard his voice just now.

  The camera suddenly stopped shaking, Wen Baiyu held her breath, and on the two screens the size of a thumb, a face suddenly appeared.

  Very close.

  Thin and weak.

  A face that is almost skin and bones.

  Two eye sockets were black and empty, without eyeballs.

  Big brother moved his hand and immediately turned off the watch.

  Lao Wu's face turned pale and his legs trembled as he stuttered: "Big brother... wh-what should we do..."

  The big brother looked around, narrowed his eyes and said: "Put your hands on the wall to your right, we'll feel our way along."

  Wen Baiyu glared at them, those two could indeed put their hands on the wall, what about herself?!

  Even if your own hands are tied behind you, how can you still feel your way along the wall?

  Two people walked with Wen Baiyu sandwiched between them, one in front and one behind.

  After walking for about half an hour, Wen Baiyu couldn't help but say: "Since this tomb is so eerie, let's...let's just head back the way we came?"

  "No way!"

  Big Brother immediately said: "Even if we retreat along the original route, it's not necessarily possible to return. Moreover... If we can't get the divine artifact that Lao Da wants, even if we go back, it will be a fate worse than death, right, Old Five?"

  He finished asking, and for a long time, he didn't hear Lao Wu speak. Wen Baiyu turned his head to take a look, and suddenly let out an "ah!" of surprise.

  Big brother also turned back, behind Wen Baiyu was pitch black, no one was there...

  Wen Baiyu was so scared that he stuck closer to the person in front of him, looking back and stuttering: "P...person...where is he? This place only has a curved path, where did that big-headed man go?"

  Just as Wen Baiyu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a cool breeze on the back of his neck. "Whoosh" - with a sudden movement, he turned his head around, and his big brother who had been in front of him all along was nowhere to be seen...

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wen Baiyu cursed inwardly, what's going on? Not only did the ghost hit the wall, but a living person also disappeared out of thin air. There were clearly three people, and suddenly two of them were gone. This wasn't funny at all!

  Wen Bai's mind was a complete blank, he had no idea what to do. He was just a small restaurant owner, let alone a tomb raider, and was actually a simple-minded otaku.

  What's more, his hands were tied behind his back, so if something really happened, he couldn't even use his hands.

  Just as Wen Baiyu was in a hurry, he suddenly saw something glowing on the wall, faintly visible in the dark tomb passage.

  Wen Baiyu hastily moved closer to take a look, and it turned out to be a gemstone. Although it was only the size of a sesame seed, Wen Baiyu had never seen anything like it before, so she leaned in for a closer look.

  The stone wall around the gemstone was slightly different, and Wen Baiyu's eyes lit up as she thought to herself that it must be a mechanism.

  His hands were tied behind his back, and he could only tiptoe to use his forehead to bump. He thought he had to bump harder, but with just a light touch, Wen Baiyu felt the ground beneath him give way.

  Before she could even let out a loud cry, the stone slab beneath her feet turned out to be a trapdoor, and Wen Baiyu instantly fell through it.

  Wen Baiyu closed his eyes tightly, and in a flash, he seemed to recall watching TV before, where there was a program about ancient tombs having mechanisms, something called... linked flip panels...

  Underneath the plank is a large pit with many sharp spikes inside. The tomb raiders who fall into it will undoubtedly die...

  "Boom!"

  Wen Baiyu had already made preparations, but he didn't expect the pit to be so deep, and he almost got his internal organs ruptured.

  But Wen Baiyu was just dizzy and hadn't lost consciousness.

  He opened his eyes and took a look, and was suddenly frightened. He found himself leaning on the two men from earlier, but those two people had already fainted.

  Wen Baiyu quickly jumped up and looked around, it was a stone chamber, very grand, much more spacious than the tomb passage just now.

  The stone room is carved with beams and painted with pillars, but it's not dark.

  Wen Baiyu raised her head and saw that the four walls of the stone room were actually lit up by four lamps...

  Big Brother and Old Five had just fallen down and were still dizzy, so it was impossible for them to light the lamp. Besides, they had flashlights and high-tech equipment, so it was also impossible for them to light this kind of lamp.

  Wen Baiyu thought about it and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

  Four lanterns swayed gently, casting a warm glow on the shadow of Wen Baiyu.

  In the center of the stone chamber is a coffin.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but think of the coffin in his dream, however, the palace in his dream was much larger than this one, and the coffin was also more exquisite than this one.

  Wen Baiyu walked over to take a look and found that the coffin in the middle was not covered with a lid, and it was empty inside!

  Wen Baiyu was startled, and didn't know where she got the courage from, slowly moving forward, the coffin was indeed empty, with a palm-sized dagger lying quietly inside.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the dagger in a strange way and muttered to himself: "Why is there only a dagger?"

  "Dragon scales dagger."

  A low voice rang out.

  Wen Baiyu was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to scream loudly, but in the end, she still endured it because this voice was very familiar.

  A man in black clothes and pants walked over from behind him, his hands still wearing black gloves, with a cold and expressionless face.

  He is Wan Guizong Hou.

  Wen Baiyu hastily let out a sigh of relief and said: "Scaring people to death!"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou didn't say a word, he just gave him a faint glance.

  Then he reached out and was about to take the dagger from the coffin.

  "Wait!"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Will there be any mechanism?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou still didn't speak, he just took out his dagger by himself, then "hiss" a sound to draw out the scabbard.

  A crisp "crack" sound, and Wen Baiyu felt that the hands behind her back were suddenly free, and something fell to the ground.

  Wen Baiyu lowered his head and took a look, and what had fallen to the ground was actually a pair of handcuffs broken into two pieces!

  Metal handcuffs...

  Wen Baiyu looked at the dagger in Mo Jiahao's hand with surprise and said, "So powerful? Can it cut through iron like mud?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said faintly: "Long Lin Bi Shou is an ancient divine artifact, naturally it can cut through iron like mud."

  Wen Baiyu nodded obediently.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou inserted the dagger back into its sheath and handed it to Wen Bai Yu, saying: "You take it, for self-defense."

  Wen Baiyu: "......"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly furrowed his brow, his voice low and cold as he said, "He's here."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly woke up with a start and said: "Who... who's here?"

  The Wanxi Jinghou glanced at the empty coffin and said, "The owner of the coffin."
