C18 Nightmare

A dark, cold face appeared in front of him, breathing in and out of breath. The cold, stinky smell of an ancient corpse gushed out into his face.

Old Ann was so scared that his soul almost left his body. He sat on the ground and trembled like a sieve. At this time, he could clearly see that the large face before him was a ferocious ghost who wore minority clothing. His hair was in many little braids, and his skin was dark green. His eyes were like burning coals as they stared at him. Old Ann leaned his hands on the ground and moved backwards in fear. The ghost in front of him just looked at him quietly and didn't move at all.

"Old Jiang, Cousin Uncle, quickly come and save me!" Old Ann shouted loudly as he retreated. He turned around in panic and saw the sarcophagus at the center. He couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock. Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen had already opened the sarcophagus. At this moment, the two of them were kneeling on the left and right side of the sarcophagus, staring into the sarcophagus without moving, as if someone had set them up.

"Old Jiang, Cousin Uncle, the ghost is here. Run!" Old Ann felt that something was not right between Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen. He was shocked and anxious at the same time as he shouted loudly.

However, Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen didn't seem to hear his words. At this time, the huge face in front of Old Ann suddenly screamed and pounced towards him. Old Ann cried out in shock and panic. He raised the earth shovel in his hand and viciously swung it.

Bam, the earth shovel in Liu Tie's hand was broken into two pieces, leaving only the wooden handle. However, he had used his full force just now to slightly block the ferocious ghost in front of him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Tie hurriedly stood up and rushed towards the central sarcophagus, intending to reunite with Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen. At that moment, the cluck of a toad could be heard from within the coffin. A corpse wearing a wolf mask slowly rose up from the coffin. In a split-second, a strong killing intent filled the air.

Old Ann was so shocked that he immediately turned around and ran outside.

As they ran, Old Ann heard two similar hurried footsteps coming from behind. He turned around and saw it was Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen. The two of them seemed to have finally come back to their senses. The three of them ran outside desperately, Liu Tie was the first to arrive in front of the hole, without any hesitation, he pulled the rope that hung down from the hole and climbed up. Immediately afterwards, Old Ann felt the rope suddenly sink. He couldn't help but be shocked. He turned around and saw that Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen had also grabbed the rope and climbed up. At the back, the big face and the ghost wearing the masked-wolf mask had already caught up to them.

As if he was electrocuted, Old Ann desperately pulled the rope upwards. But at this time, he also felt that the rope was too heavy, and it was making cracking sounds as if it was about to break. However, he was still a distance away from the exit, so he couldn't help but feel anxious. At this time, he felt the rope sink a little bit, then he heard Liu Yingzhen's scream. He turned around and saw Liu Yingzhen's leg being grabbed by the ghost, and the ghost's weight was added to the rope.

"Cousin, let go of me, or all of us will die!" Old Ann felt that the rope was about to break and immediately shouted.

"Save me, save me!" Liu Yingzhen screamed in fear and held on tightly to the rope.

Just as Old Ann was hesitating, he felt someone had grabbed his ankle and almost dragged him down. He looked down in shock and saw Old Jiang grabbing his ankle.

"Old Jiang, what are you doing? Let go!" Old Ann exclaimed.

Old Jiang's eyes were bloodshot. He didn't say a word, but he still held onto Old Ann's ankle tightly.

Not only was Old Ann unable to climb up, he even felt a huge burden on his body that could fall down at any time. His arms were numb from the excessive force.

"F * ck your mother!" Old Ann, who was on the verge of death, suddenly roared and kicked Old Jiang in the face. Old Jiang screamed and fell down. Old Ann felt the pressure on his body lessen as he desperately climbed to the exit of the cave.

When Old Ann finally crawled out of the cave and appeared on the ground, he heard Liu Yingzhen, who was behind him, constantly yelling at him to help him. Liu Yingzhen was grabbed by the ghost just now, but at this moment, he had already gotten rid of the ghost and was less than two meters away from the cave entrance. As long as Old Ann pulled him, they should be able to escape quickly.

Old Ann was about to pull the rope when he suddenly saw the ghost who was also pulling the rope underneath Old Ann. His heart turned cold. In just an instant, Old Ann made a decision. This decision made him feel like he was in a nightmare. His body trembled and he couldn't say a word.

Hearing this, I could already guess Old Ann's decision. I sighed in my heart.

uncle also sighed, "Old Ann, you are ruthless!"

Ann Yuer couldn't guess what the final outcome would be. Seeing that uncle and I seemed to understand the situation perfectly, she anxiously asked Old Ann, "Dad, what happened after that?"

Old Ann's eyes revealed a hint of fear as his lips trembled uncontrollably. His throat rolled and his voice also became hoarse as he slowly said: "Later on … Then I cut the rope with a knife... "

"Ah!" Ann Yuer screamed and covered her mouth with her hand.

At that time, after Old Ann cut the rope, he immediately escaped. However, Liu Yingzhen and Old Jiang's screams remained in his ears and did not disappear for a long time. After Old Ann escaped from the mountains, he left the Dog Cave Village alone. No one had noticed him. He was worried that the police would find out about the deaths of Old Jiang and Liu Yingzhen, so he stayed outside for a few days.

"Uncle, can you show me the pearl you took out from the ancient tomb?" "No," I said.

Old Ann told me his story just now, so I paid special attention to him picking a bead from the ancient tomb's wall, thinking that he should have brought it out of the tomb. Sure enough, after hesitating for a moment, Old Ann fished out a dark blue bead from his body with trembling hands. This bead was the size of a longan fruit. In the deep blue, there seemed to be a lump of black gas. It looked rather strange. I took it. It was cold and heavy in my hand, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

After looking for a while, I handed the bead to uncle. uncle looked at it for a moment before handing it back to Ann Yuer. Finally, he returned it to Old Ann. Old Ann pressed the pearl against his chest as if it was Bao`er, and he was very excited. I couldn't help but say, "Uncle, this bead belongs to the old tomb's master, so we must return it. Otherwise, the old tomb's ghost would come knocking on our door."

Ann Yuer looked at me nervously. "Qia, can you just return the pearl and dispel my father's curse?"

I shook my head. "Not yet."

"Huh?" Ann Yuer covered her mouth in worry.

I looked at her and said, "Lady Boss, don't worry. Your father's curse can be lifted. As the saying goes, wherever poisonous snakes roam, there will be antidotes in the vicinity. Uncle Old Ann was sprayed with corpse qi by the ferocious ghost, and if I guessed correctly, there must be a Luotuo Flower in a corner of that ancient tomb that can resolve this corpse qi. As long as we return this bead back and find the Luotuo Flower, the curse on Uncle's body should be lifted. "

"Qia?" uncle was surprised, "You mean someone needs to return to the ancient tomb?"

I nodded noncommittally.

Old Ann struggled to sit up, and said hoarsely, "Damn, I was the one who brought the bead out, I should have returned it."

I didn't object to him going to the ancient tomb on his own, but seeing that he is currently on the verge of death, I expressed my doubt that he is still able to walk back to the ancient tomb. At this moment, he heard Ann Yuer say, "Dad, your body is weak right now and you can't move. It's better to let your daughter go. Now, just give her the pearl."

Ann Yuer was not trying to show her filial piety by saying that she was serious, so I was stunned. However, Old Ann shook his head violently. Tears rolled down his muddy old eyes. He refused to give the pearl to his daughter to put her in danger.

"Dad, the reason why you've been traveling for so many years is to let your daughter eat and do nothing. It's time for your daughter to do something for you …" Seeing that her father did not agree, Ann Yuer's eyes turned red with anxiety as she advised him.

I sighed in my heart and looked at uncle.

"Alright, alright, I see." uncle clapped his hands and said, "My cousin Wu Qia has been learning Dao Arts since he was young and has a way to deal with ghosts. Now, let him accompany your daughter to the ancient tomb. "Old Ann, you should be able to relax now, right?"

As expected, upon hearing uncle's words, Old Ann was momentarily stunned. However, he looked towards me as if he wanted me to promise him. My original plan was to help Ann Yuer this time, so I naturally didn't have any objections. "Uncle An, don't worry. I'll go with the Lady Boss."

"Qia, thank you." Ann Yuer looked at me with tears in her eyes as she said gratefully.

I smiled gently at her.

Old Ann was silent for a while. Finally, he nodded and handed the dark blue bead over.

The matter was settled like this. Ann Yuer and I will head to the ancient tomb together, it should be sooner rather than later. After listening to Old Ann's final instructions, Ann Yuer, and uncle both went outside to the living room. uncle said that he should call two temporary workers to accompany us. I said no, after all, this matter should not be revealed, and it would be useless to send more people. Wu said he would keep the matter a secret from his cousin, and then left Liangmei's gym. After Ann Yuer and I discussed it, we immediately went to buy some simple equipment that could be used in the ancient tomb. After buying our equipment, Ann Yuer and I packed up a bit before setting off.

We went to the bus station and bought tickets to the Doghole Village. As a matter of fact, Dog-Hole isn't even open to traffic yet, and we can only buy tickets for a small town ten miles away from the village. In the car, I thought Ann Yuer would be worried and tried to comfort her. I didn't expect her to look so relaxed, even a little excited, and say it was like a honeymoon with me.

My ears were burning from her strange analogy, but seeing that her mood had lightened, I felt a lot more at ease. The car left the station and headed out of the city. As we passed a village on the outskirts of the city, the car stopped abruptly. I saw a mother and daughter get in the car, and noticed that the little girl with the neat bangs seemed to know me and saw me as soon as I got in.

I was slightly startled, but soon after, I saw the little girl walk up to me and say, "Big brother, don't go there. It's very dangerous."
