C6 No Gap

I suddenly snatched the dagger from Saner's hands. Originally, it was already shocking him, but when I said those words, Saner panicked and covered his mouth.

I turned and looked at Saner, my eyes revealing a trace of warmth.

Maybe, Saner is the only family I have in this world.

I took Saner's hand away and smiled to him: "It's no big deal. He owes me this."

However, Saner was still worried. "Brother, there has only ever been one thing in this world that has always been avenging their father, and that is not to kill their own father. Be careful not to get struck by lightning."

"So what if you're struck by lightning? You can do anything while you're alive, but you can't be that useless."

I walked over to the snake corpse and continued, "I can't believe he could do it."

However, I never expected that this phrase would turn out to be true in the future. I was really struck by lightning.

Of course, this was not what I expected. I walked up to the corpse of the giant snake and squatted down to rummage through its body. I frowned and said, "It's actually a spider."

"What is a spider?"

Saner squatted beside me and asked me with a look of surprise: "Brother, I can't see through you anymore, why do you seem to know everything?"

"I don't know either."

I frowned and thought for a moment. "It's as if these things were planted in my heart. I didn't feel it before, but ever since I saw the tomb's wall, whenever I wanted to know, these things would appear in my mind. It's as if these things …"

I pointed the dagger at the two slightly protruding bones on its head and said, "Legend has it that the wasp could transform into a dragon in five hundred years, and the flood dragon needs a thousand years. Look, this wasp is already at the horn, perhaps because it has been buried here for too long, and lost the opportunity to connect with the heaven and earth.

The Heavenly Crying drew a line in the middle of the serpent's head and the skull creaked open, revealing the brain within. After rummaging for a while, I finally found a shiny red bead at the bottom of the serpent's head.

"This... "What is this?"

Saner had long taken out the snake gall and fed it to me. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for me to recover most of it in such a short period of time.

One must know that if a person suffocates for several minutes in water and falls into a deep coma, even if they were rescued, they would still be infected by disease such as lung water due to water entering their lungs.

However, Saner had grown up in the mountains, and was well aware of the use of Snake Bile. Its nature was incomparably cold, and was the best antiphlogistic and healing panacea, not to mention the fact that this was a spider that had only lived here for god knows how many years.

The reason why I was able to escape death, is not only because of Saner, but also because of my lack of gallbladder.

I held the shining red pearl in my hand and said to Saner, "This is called a pill, maybe this is the only pill in this world."

Saner clicked his tongue and said indifferently: "What are you trying to do, is it expensive?"

I replied in amusement, "As long as the heavens' will does not arrive and the corpse still exists, it can bring the dead back to life."

Saner immediately opened his mouth wide to the size of an egg, and struggled to move his adam's apple: "Immortal pills?"

"More or less."

I casually threw the pearl back to Saner and used the tip of the Heavenly Crying Dagger to place it on the spider king's tusk, wanting to squeeze out some of its venom. Unfortunately, it had been dead for too long, and my body had already turned stiff.

I then used the Heavenly Crying to deal with it and peeled off all the parts that were useful, such as snake skin, snake meat, snake bones and so on. When I cut open the spider's abdominal cavity, I found out that the reason why the spider died in my hands was because the bull horn had stabbed into the heart of the spider, killing it. At the same time, I cried out in anger, I was lucky that Saner actually cut off a portion of its body when I was injured, causing it to be incomplete.

I don't know when, but after we made sufficient rest, the two of us discussed and decided to continue deeper into the Eastern Han Tomb that had been silent for nearly two thousand years. But, what other dangers are waiting for us up ahead?

Extreme Life, Death!

Extreme death, life!

The reason we were able to enter this inner tomb was because we accidentally stumbled onto the Gate of Life. But now, we also have to find the most dangerous death gate, otherwise, sooner or later, we will be trapped in this underground tomb.

In the little house that Saner found, other than the wine pots that were piled up, there were three other stone tablets. The stone tablets were engraved with words, but you have to forgive us that our education level was not high, you have to know that we bit our fingers and acted cute, and only after guessing for a long time did we guess out a few words, and that was … Go play on the side.

We'd like to play on the side, but at least leave us a door.

Saner and I had walked around the tomb for more than ten times, but there are only two rooms. One was where the wine jar was placed, and the other was where a bunch of decaying weapons were kept.

In the end, we had no choice but to give up and return to the bonfire to roast the corn and chat about life.

"Brother."

As time passed, my complexion became better and better, and my chest no longer ached. I knew that this was the effect of the gallbladder, but the problem was that we were running out of food.

Of course I know what Saner wants to say. This fellow has always been on my side, and his trust in me has already been blinded.

After sighing deeply, I pulled the corn in my hand and said, "If we don't head back the same way we came, we'll have to starve to death here."

Saner replied dejectedly: "Can you climb up?"

The process of falling into the water was too fast, with a splash, we were already in the water. We never thought about the distance between the gap and the water surface, but when we couldn't find a way out, we dived back in to take a look.

It's too high, it's a few meters high, there's not even a footstep. How are we supposed to climb if we're naked?

Therefore, this path was simply impossible.

Then the question was, who was the culprit behind this?

In this world, the scariest thing wasn't the demons or the devils, but the feeling that you knew the way out yet couldn't get out. That feeling was enough to make you despair to the end.

Fortunately Saner and I are partners, otherwise, I would definitely go crazy.

It was said that the eighteenth level of hell in the Underworld did not have any criminal law and was an independent space. In that space, you could be alone, have no time, no smell, listen, see, pain, touch, and only have fragmented memories. In the end, you would be tortured to the point where life was worse than death.

Since it's impossible to climb out, we can only think about it further.

What should he do?

Yes, sleep.

The kind that sleeps until the seas dry and the rocks crumble.

Only after the most adequate rest will the brain work, won't it?

So we slept by the fire until...

The color of the oil was bright yellow, but when I slept in a daze, I found that the flames had turned a dark green, like the flames of ghosts, jumping about endlessly.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred …
