C9 Red Face

The speed of that thing could only be described as swift like a bolt of lightning.

I watched helplessly as it covered my head, covering it completely without a single gap.

I was instantly suffocated. I shook my head in fear and struggled with my hands and feet.

But I couldn't shake it off, and what scared me most was that it followed my breath and turned into wisps of cold that ran down my nose and into my body.

"Clang!"

While struggling, I touched the Heavenly Crying on the ground. Delighted, I stretched out my hand to randomly search the ground. Finally, I found the Heavenly Crying.

When I hold the Heavenly Crying once again, I don't care whether it is sharp or not, or whether the blade will disfigure my face, I will directly slash at my own face.

"Chi!"

Just like the last time I stabbed at it when I discovered it on the platform, the thing made a sound like a red-hot iron being thrown into water. The shadow split away from my face, and the breath that entered my nose quickly retreated.

I raised my head to look at the black figure in the sky and shouted, "You want to take revenge?"

"Tsk tsk!"

The black shadow let out a strange laughter that sounded like the cries of ghosts. The black shadow violently flipped a few times before transforming into a black mask. I could feel how cold the eyes of the mask were and how they hated me.

"I killed it."

I gripped the Heavenly Crying tightly in my hands and bellowed at the mask. "You want to take revenge on me? Come at me!"

The mask emitted a metallic luster, as though it was hurt by the Heavenly Crying. The black liquid slowly dripped from the mask onto the ground, and the liquid had a strong corrosive ability.

The mask seemed to fear the Heavenly Crying in my hands. It circled above my head a few times before emitting a sharp hiss. Then, it turned into a ray of light and tried to escape.

"You want to leave?"

After I shouted loudly, I threw the Heavenly Crying in my hands towards the ray of light. Luckily, I, who usually only shot Zero Rings with my throwing knives, didn't fail this time, and the Heavenly Crying directly shot into the ray of light.

The black figure writhed violently in the air, and amidst miserable roars, the black figure gradually disappeared, only to see a small snake that was as white as jade falling from the sky, and the Heavenly Crying just happened to nail onto its neck.

The golden light in the room quickly faded, and in the end, the golden sand in the room turned into dust and disappeared. When I looked down, I found Saner lying not far away from me.

"Legend has it that a male spider mother used a black one and a white one. As expected, the legend is not false."

I pulled back the Heavenly Crying from the white snake's neck, stroked my chin and muttered to myself, "Legend has it that these black and white twin snakes can combine into a couple. The white snake lives in the Yin Gathering Pool, the black bone valley in the skeleton.

"But why would such a divine object be buried under the little mountain village called Chenjia Tun?"

I thought about it for a while, but still couldn't think it through. I turned around and started thinking about Saner walking over, and after turning Saner over on the ground, I hesitated.

The reason why I was hesitating was because I remembered the scene of Saner being tortured to death in the nightmare mist that was cast down by the phoenix. My heart ached inexplicably, and tears unknowingly rolled down my face.

Was it that madman that did not hesitate to attack even his brothers, or was it that Liu Yuanzu who did not even care about his life for his brothers?

The tears fell onto Saner's face, shining like pearls and splattered everywhere like flowers.

Maybe it's my tears, maybe it's...

Saner's tightly shut eyes slowly opened after a few wiggling sounds. There was a complicated look in his eyes, which included regret, guilt, and a hint of relief.

I didn't know how to face Saner, so I could only feign indifference and ask: "You're awake."

"Sorry, brother."

Saner jumped up from the ground, buried his head guiltily in his chest and said: "I just had a dream."

I calmly asked, "Is there a lot of gold?"

Saner had a surprised face as he jumped up from the ground, exclaiming: "How did you know?"

I looked at Saner with a smile that was not a smile: "You even killed me?"

Saner opened his mouth wide enough to swallow an egg again, and looked at me for a long time without saying a word.

"Because I killed you too."

I got up from the ground and walked over to the white snake, used the Heavenly Crying to pick at the snake skin. With a pull, a complete snake skin fell into my hands.

Saner was still in shock, but after hearing my urging, he replied dazedly. "Ah?"

"There's no time to lose, we should hurry up and leave the tomb. I don't want to risk my life again."

I was not lucky enough to get another pill from a sea lizard, except for a snakeskin, but when I cut open its abdomen, I found that it was in the process of spawning. I got four snakeskin eggs from its belly.

"So, it is currently in the weak phase of reproducing."

I weighed the snake egg in my hand, feeling extremely lucky as I sighed, "It's really the best of misfortunes."

When we were ready, we set off again.

We were washed down here by the water from the trenches, and after three or four hours of exploring, we came to the conclusion that the world under the water was a natural karst cave, and in this nine twists and eight turns of the karst cave, a deathly atmosphere hit us, and the deeper we went, the more creepy we became.

After so much had been done, it would have been impossible for us to feel fear in terms of courage, and while we were still here these days, eating the flesh of things like asparagus and asparagus, we were full of energy and vigor. But now, somehow, we were trembling, and we were covered with goosebumps. The deeper we went into the cave, the more we felt the chill in our hearts.

Fortunately, we did not lose the bag of oil and flour that we had brought from the water. After using a waterproof match to light the bag of oil, this was the only thing we could rely on.

There wasn't a single trace of light in the cave, only the sound of dripping water from far away could be heard. Fortunately, in order to prevent us from losing ourselves in the water, the rope that was tied to our belt was still there, otherwise, I really wouldn't have known how to walk down there. And Saner, perhaps, hadn't put down what he was dreaming about.

People say that the tomb is the easiest place to get a priceless treasure, but in my eyes it's bullshit. We've fought so hard we don't even have a hair on our heads, except, of course, for the asparagus and the asparagus.

In front of me, there seemed to be a corner, and a faint blue light blossomed from the darkness. I was overjoyed, and tugged at the rope at my waist, trying to signal Saner to follow me, but I only managed to grab onto a broken rope.

"Saner."

I was immediately alarmed and shouted to the people behind me.

In the dim light I saw a face, as red as the red paper we had on New Year's Day, but as dry and wrinkled as bark, with no eyes in two dark sockets, and a face...

It followed right behind me, until I discovered it, and escaped into the darkness. But as for Saner, where did he go?
