Fast Wear: A Different Life

Chapter 277 Qinling Sacred Tree (36)

At this moment, Wu Xie suddenly had an idea, and recalled the plots in the fantasy novels he had read before, so he asked tentatively: "Does this thing require us to drip our own blood on it to open it like it is written in the book?"

"Yeah." Ji Xiao nodded in affirmation.

After getting the answer, the three of them began to put on the rings excitedly and drip blood on them, then started to use their respective space rings. After a while, they put their respective backpacks in them and then carefully put them away.

Although Ji Xiao did not mention anything about money, the three of them still decided in their hearts that when they came across something good in the future, they would collect it, sell it, and give the money to her. Although money may not be comparable to this thing, it is better to give it than not to give it.

However, Xie Yuchen took out a gold card from his wallet and handed it to Ji Xiao, saying, "Thank you. There is only 10 million in it. I hope you can accept it."

Wu Xie scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said, "Xiao Xiao, thank you. But I don't have much money on me, so I can only give it to you after I get back."

The fat man at the side also smiled and said: "Ah, yes, yes, I'll give it to you when I get back. And thank you, sister."

Ji Xiao did not refuse by saying that they didn't need to pay, but she did not mention the specific amount of money. It all depends on their abilities and they can give more or less. However, this also shows that their character is pretty good and they are not the kind of people who would take advantage of others.

Wu Xie seemed a little confused. He scratched his head and asked Ji Xiao again, "Then why don't you have glasses?"

"He already had it." Ji Xiao replied with a smile.

Instantly, the three people's eyes were focused on the silent Black Blind Man. He shrugged nonchalantly and asked nonchalantly, "Why are you staring at me? I know them very well! Besides, I'm thick-skinned enough, so it's only natural that I got it before you, right?"

At this moment, Zhang Qiling suddenly said, "It's getting late. What are your plans? Are you still planning to stay here?"

Wu Xie looked silly when he heard this. He rubbed his stomach which was growling with hunger and said, "Yeah, I'm almost starving to death!"

Then, he looked at Zhang Qiling with a flattering look on his face and begged, "Brother, can you give me something to eat? My backpack was stolen!"

After looking around, Hei Xiazi suggested, "In my opinion, we should go back and rest today. With Fatty's current condition, if he really goes in, he might not be able to come back."

Wu Xie turned his head to look at the fat man's bandaged legs and nodded in agreement.

Xie Yuchen was not in a hurry to travel, and as for Zhang Qiling and his wife, they said anything was fine.

Zhang Qiling took out two bottles of water and a few small pieces of bread from his space and handed them to Fatty and Wu Xie, saying, "Here, eat some bread and drink some water to fill your stomach."

"Okay!" Wu Xie and Fatty hurriedly took the food and started eating and drinking without saying a word.

After the two finished eating, Zhang Qiling put Ji Xiao on the ground, put away the stool, and then took her hand and followed the others down the mountain. In order to reach the village before dark, Hei Xia Zi carried Fatty on his back.

The six of them finally returned to their previous house before the sun went down. Wu Xie lit the fire in the house, and after having a simple dinner with the light that Ji Xiao brought out, they sat around the fire and chatted.

……

They stayed in the village for a few more days. When the fat man's injury was almost healed, they decided to continue to visit the ancient tomb in the cave.

However, during this period, Wu Xie and the other two gradually put a lot of supplies into their rings. However, in order to hide their tracks, they still each carried a backpack with a few bottles of water and some compressed biscuits in it.

The group soon arrived at the entrance of the cave. Having learned from the previous experience, everyone was more cautious.

Hei Xia Zi led the way, holding a flashlight to illuminate the way ahead. Zhang Qiling and Ji Xiao followed behind, always paying attention to the movements around them.

The further you go in, the narrower and darker the cave becomes, and the air is filled with a foul smell of damp and decay.

"Tian Zhen, do you feel it's a bit eerie here?" Fatty Wang couldn't help but ask.

Wu Xie nodded, and he became a little nervous. At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the front, as if something was approaching.

"Everyone be careful!" Zhang Qiling reminded in a low voice.

But in an instant, Ji Xiao took out her high-intensity flashlight from the space, and the cave instantly became as bright as day. Perhaps it was a long-term habit, so they forgot about the high-intensity flashlight.

Ji Xiao doesn't like dark places except for sleeping. Even though she can see at night, she still prefers light. After all, nothing can be hidden under the light.

With the help of the strong light, everyone could see the scene in front of them clearly. They saw that the walls of the cave were covered with strange stalactites, and there were some human heads scattered on the ground.

"This is a cave that was dug out by human hands. There shouldn't be water here, but there is no road and there are monsters." Wu Xie recounted everything he saw last time.

"And it's a little weird." The fat man frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

Just then, a low roar came from the depths and echoed throughout the cave.

"Oh no, it's that monster fish from last time!" the fat man exclaimed.

Wu Xie and Fatty immediately became alert and clenched their weapons. Xie Yuchen was protected by Hei Xia Zi behind him and did not show any fear at all.

Ji Xiao shone a strong flash towards the source of the sound, and saw two huge figures swimming around underwater. They were probably the monster fish that dragged Wu Xie into the water some time ago.

After Ji Xiao rescued Wu Xie, she ignored it. She didn't know if it was hungry because it hadn't eaten in the past few days, so it appeared when it heard the sound.

Ji Xiao squeezed Zhang Qiling's hand, looked at Zhang Qiling with a look of disgust and grievance, and muttered: "Qiling, this thing is a bit disgusting."

Zhang Qiling gently stroked her head to comfort her, and said to her gently: "Okay, then wait a minute, I'll go and deal with it and come back."

"Yeah." Ji Xiao nodded obediently.

When Zhang Qiling went to deal with the monster fish, Ji Xiao took the opportunity to explain to others: "Because someone is following us! And there is more than one." In fact, it was mainly said for Wu Xie to hear, after all, he is the most simple and innocent.

Wu Xie was confused after hearing this, and looked around quickly, but he didn't see any suspicious figures. He asked in confusion: "But I can't see anyone at all?"

"When you actually see them, I'm afraid the situation will be as dangerous as last time." Xie Yuchen suddenly spoke with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

"Hey, Jie Xiaohua, why do you speak so harshly?" Wu Xie immediately became dissatisfied and retorted.

However, Xie Yuchen didn't want to pay any more attention to him. He still maintained that arrogant attitude and ignored Wu Xie.

He turned his eyes to Zhang Qiling on the water, and saw that the latter had successfully killed the two strange fish in the water and threw them to the shore. Then, Zhang Qiling put the long knife in his hand into the water to clean it, and then returned to Ji Xiao's side.

When Hei Xiazi saw Zhang Qiling coming back, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, now we can finally cross without worry." It turned out that after a fierce battle, the monster in the water was dead. Now, they only need to swim across this section of the pool to reach the other side.

Zhang Qiling hugged Ji Xiao's slender waist and flew her to the other side easily. Ji Xiao couldn't help but be a little surprised, but at the same time, a warm feeling surged in her heart, because she could get there by herself, but the feeling of being cared for was different.

Not long after, Wu Xie and his companions also successfully reached the shore. They walked along the narrow stone road and finally came to an unfinished sarcophagus.
