Chapter 2166: Your Life May End Here

The man had a rope tied around him. If there was a problem, he would pull on the rope to notify them.

A group of people waited at the entrance. The soft crying sounds continued to come from inside the tomb. After the man entered the passage, the pulled rope was the only indication that someone was inside.

The passage was pitch black as if all light had been swallowed up. The people standing guard were terrified.

Ning Shu took out some rations to eat. No matter what, she had to fill her stomach first.

After a while, the rope stopped moving and there were no other indications of movement from inside the passage.

Gu Rui frowned and pulled on the rope, but there was no tension as he did so.

Gu Rui closed his eyes. Sure enough, when they pulled the rope back out, the end was no longer attached to anything. It had been bitten apart by something.

No one had heard the man cry for help.

“What the hell is down there?” Mo Juechen crouched down and looked at the rope.

Ning Shu also looked at the rope. It was wet, which indicated there was water in the tomb.

“Taoist Cheng, can we go in now?” Gu Rui asked Cheng Mingzi.

Cheng Mingzi looked serious. “Young Master Gu, this situation is dangerous beyond our expectations. This poor Taoist does not recommend it. Your life may end here.”

Gu Rui was lost in his thoughts for a moment, but then he finally said, “Go.”

“Life and death depend on fate.” Taoist Cheng sighed. “This poor Taoist is willing to go to the grave with Young Master Gu.”

“Descend into the tomb,” Gu Rui said in a deep voice.

The rope was tied to a tree not far away and they used it to enter the tomb.

Water covered the floor. It was knee-high, cold to the bone, and extremely cloudy.

This tomb had been under a swamp and water would enter even if it was tightly sealed, let alone after hundreds of years of exposure.

The presence of water increased the danger even more. Anything could be lurking under the surface.

They could easily be caught off guard and attacked by something lurking in the shadows.

Ning Shu held a lantern in her hand and illuminated the surroundings.

The sound of dripping water resounded.

After they entered the tomb, the whistling and crying sounds went away. The surroundings became quiet, with only the sound of people breathing and their legs moving through the water.

“Lanxin, come to my side,” Gu Rui said suddenly. He even turned back and took Ning Shu’s hand.

Ning Shu frowned but didn’t let go of his hand. No matter what Gu Rui’s purpose was, he was willing to protect her, so Ning Shu was very happy.

The others surrounded Gu Rui, Ning Shu, Cheng Mingzi, and Mo Juechen to protect them.

There is basically no light in the tomb. It was so dark that they couldn’t even see their hands in front of their faces, let alone what lay ahead.

The group walked very slowly.

Ning Shu mobilized the spiritual energy in her dantian and was constantly on guard since they didn’t know what attacked the man who entered before.

Whatever it was, it would definitely appear.

A quiet splashing sound was heard approaching the group.

“Everyone be careful.” Gu Rui was the first to speak up. “Something is coming this way.”

As he spoke, he held Ning Shu’s hand tightly.

A rotten, suffocating stench invaded their lungs.

Ning Shu held out her lamp and saw black worm-like things moving through the water.

They were extremely fast and in an instant, they covered the people guarding the outside of the group and squirmed into their mouths and stomachs.

Before they could even call out, they were gone.

The sight of endless waves of worms gave people goosebumps.
