Your classmates haven't taken the college entrance examination yet, but you are carrying bricks

Liu Wen suddenly stopped talking here, and her expression became more solemn.

"Unless what?"

Gu Ci asked.

Liu Wen did not answer, but took out a compass from her backpack and observed it carefully.

"What's wrong? What did you find?"

Seeing that she looked strange, Gu Ci also became nervous.

Liu Wen didn't say anything, but just stared at the compass, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

Suddenly, the compass needle began to shake violently, and finally broke.

"not good!"

Liu Wen's face changed drastically, and she exclaimed, "We've fallen into a trap!"

"Fell into a trap? What do you mean?"

Gu Ci was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

Liu Wen didn't have time to explain. She pulled Gu Ci up and ran towards the depths of the cave.

"Hurry up! This place is about to collapse!"

Before Gu Ci could react, he felt his feet suddenly go empty, and he fell into endless darkness...

Gu Ci felt dizzy, with the whistling wind and Liu Wen's terrified screams in his ears. He closed his eyes tightly and waved his hands wildly, trying to grab something, but he grabbed nothing.

After an unknown amount of time, the downward trend finally stopped, and Gu Ci fell heavily to the ground, his whole body aching as if his bones were falling apart. He groaned in pain and struggled to get up, but found that he could not move.

"Gu Ci, how are you? Are you okay?"

Liu Wen's anxious voice came to his ears, and Gu Ci tried to open his eyes and found that he was held in Liu Wen's arms. Her face was pale, and her forehead was covered with cold sweat. It was obvious that she was also seriously injured.

"I...I'm fine..."

Gu Ci panted and said, "Where is this?"

"I do not know either……"

Liu Wen looked around, with a hint of fear in her tone, "It's so dark here..."

Gu Ci then realized that they seemed to have fallen into a huge cave. The cave was pitch black, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. Only a glimmer of light coming from the collapsed area above could barely see the surrounding environment.

"careful!"

Liu Wen suddenly screamed and threw Gu Ci to the ground.

"Boom!"

A huge rock fell from above and hit the place where they were just now, with gravel flying and dust flying.

Gu Ci raised his head in shock, looking at the thrilling scene in front of him, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"It seems that this cave is not safe..."

Gu Ci said with lingering fear, "We have to find the exit quickly."

"Ah."

Liu Wen nodded, got up from the ground, and patted the dust off her body, "Let's be careful and walk slowly."

The two supported each other and walked carefully towards the depths of the cave in the dim light.

The cave was silent, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing in the empty space, which was particularly clear. Gu Ci felt his heart beating violently, and he always felt that something was spying on them in the dark, which made him feel creepy.

“Liu Wen…”

Gu Ci lowered his voice and asked, "Do you feel that something seems to be wrong here?"

"You feel it too?"

Liu Wen stopped and looked around warily, "It's too quiet here, so quiet that it's a little weird..."

"Could it be..."

Gu Ci hesitated for a moment and said, "Could it be the nest of the ghost-faced man-eating bees?"

"impossible."

Liu Wen shook her head. "Ghost-faced man-eating bees like to build nests in trees, and will not choose dark and damp caves like this."

"Then...what could that be?"

Gu Ci's voice trembled a little.

"Shh!"

Liu Wen suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet, then pointed at a tiny light not far ahead and said in a low voice, "Look, what is that?"

Gu Ci looked in the direction of Liu Wen's finger, and saw a faint light in the depths of the darkness, flickering like a candle in the wind, or like the rhythm of breathing.

"Come on, let's go over and take a look."

Liu Wen pulled Gu Ci and walked towards the faint light.

As they got closer and closer to the faint light, Gu Ci gradually saw clearly what it was.

It turned out to be a door!

A huge bronze door, carved with ancient and mysterious patterns, emitting a faint cold light.

In the center of the door, there is a huge night-shining pearl inlaid, emitting a soft light and illuminating a small area around it.

"What...what is this place?"

Gu Ci stared at the scene in front of him in amazement, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.

"Could it be..."

A hint of surprise flashed across Liu Wen's eyes. "Could this be the legendary..."

At this moment, the bronze door suddenly made a deafening roar and slowly opened...

Behind the door was an even deeper darkness, as if it was an abyss leading to hell...

Gu Ci felt a cold wind coming from behind the door, which made him shiver. He subconsciously held Liu Wen's hand tightly, but found that her hand was cold and without a trace of temperature.

"Aren't you cold?"

Gu Ci asked, his voice trembling slightly.

Liu Wen did not answer, but just stared blankly at the slowly opening bronze door, as if possessed.

"Hey! What's wrong with you?"

Gu Ci shook Liu Wen's shoulders hard, but she didn't respond at all.

"Damn it!"

Gu Ci cursed inwardly, he knew that now was not the time to be in a daze, he had to figure out the situation as soon as possible.

He looked around vigilantly, trying to find some clues.

However, apart from the bronze door, the surroundings were still dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

The bronze door finally opened completely. Behind the door was a deep corridor. There were torches lit on the walls on both sides, illuminating the corridor.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Gu Ci took Liu Wen and walked into the corridor.

As soon as he entered the corridor, Gu Ci felt a strong sense of oppression, which made him almost breathless. He felt as if his body was restrained by something and could not move.

"This...what the hell is this place..."

Liu Wen said with difficulty, her voice hoarse.

"It's... the Li family's ancestral tomb!"

Gu Ci looked into the depths and said slowly.

The torches on both sides of the corridor burned with unknown fuel. The flames were blue, making the already eerie passage even more eerie.

Gu Ci held Liu Wen's hand, only to feel that her hand was getting colder and colder, like a piece of ice.

"The Li family's ancestral tomb...why is it here?"

Liu Wen murmured, with a hint of fear in her tone, "We shouldn't have come here..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm here. And—"

Gu Ci pretended to be calm and patted Liu Wen's hand, but he felt a little nervous in his heart.

Although he usually likes to brag, he is still a little scared when he really has to face such a weird scene.

"And - according to the navigation, the Soul-Calming Ice is right here! Although it's dangerous, it's also our destination!"
