“Tick-tick-tick-tick—”

Due to the age and disrepair of the old building's floorboards, the gaps between the planks are widening! In the second-floor attic, the green water that had been poured onto the floor earlier is gradually seeping downwards.

The green water dripped all the way down to the stone statues in the attic!

in the dark.

A faint green light emanated from these stone statues. Perhaps due to the passing of a cold wind, the statues shifted slightly, appearing to move from a distance!

...........

The top floor of the ancient building.

Before Qin An could even reach the top floor using his max-level lightness skill, "Soaring Dragon in the Clouds," he heard a burst of rapid gunfire coming from above!

There is no doubt that Gu Yang fired the shot!

When Qin An ran up to the top floor...

Gu Yang and Zhang Yunfeng were sitting on the ground, panting heavily, while the dirty thing with bull horns on its head was lying on the ground, its head blown apart by bullets!

The two saw Qin An running up the stairs.

They all exclaimed with delight, "Brother Qin An!"

Qin An nodded.

The fact that these three were able to escape from these filthy creatures and even kill them is probably largely due to Gu Yang's efforts; his status as a top-tier special forces soldier is now truly well-deserved.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Qin An was ready to feed the two a drop of Qilin blood at any time.

Hear this.

Both of them shook their heads and said no.

But Gu Yang added, "Old Hu's leg is injured! We were being held by those filthy things the whole time. Old Hu seized the opportunity and kicked the filthy thing that was holding me in the chin. That's when I got the chance to raise my gun and shoot them. But Old Hu's leg was also scratched by the filthy thing that was holding him!"

Qin An nodded and said, "He's fine. Besides, Meng Yu is probably already bandaging his wounds."

Hear this.

Gu Yang finally felt relieved.

If Brother Qin An said Hu Jizhou is alright, then he must be alright too.

"Let's go!"

Judging that the two had rested enough, Qin An turned around and prepared to lead them downstairs.

But as soon as he turned around, Qin An felt something was wrong. He leaned on the railing on the top floor and looked down, while turning the brightness of the military flashlight above his head to the maximum!

"Brother Qin An...what's wrong?"

Seeing Qin An's serious expression, Gu Yang quickly raised his gun and walked over.

Qin An frowned and pointed to the ground below the ancient building, asking, "When you came here before, were there any stone statues around here?"

"Stone statue?"

Gu Yang and Zhang Yunfeng looked completely bewildered.

They looked down... and saw green stone statues standing on all sides of the ancient building. Some of these statues only had a lower body, some only had an upper body, and some even only had a head!

"I don't think so... those filthy things grabbed us and jumped in through the second-floor window. I don't remember seeing any stone statues!"

Zhang Yunfeng had some doubts about his memory.

Because the three of them were somewhat flustered at the time, they didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment of the ancient building. Moreover, they had never even been to the first floor, so it was understandable that they didn't know about the stone statues.

Qin An thought these stone statues were somewhat similar to those on the first floor of the ancient building, but these stone statues were all green. It couldn't be that the stone statues on the first floor of the building had changed color and then ran out on their own, could it?

Qin An felt that such a possibility was absolutely impossible.

"Let's go! Let's hurry down and take a look."

Somehow.

Qin An sensed danger emanating from the ancient building, but he couldn't pinpoint the exact nature of the danger.

The three of them ran down the wooden stairs.

After meeting up with the archaeological team, before they could even exchange pleasantries, Qin An urged, "Let's go! Let's get out of this ancient building first!"

Everyone noticed Qin An's solemn expression.

Therefore, without asking any further questions, he quickly followed Qin An downstairs.

But just as the archaeological team was running down to the next floor...

Suddenly, a "clucking" sound came from beside my ear.

Qin An looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the main beam of the ancient building had cracked in several places, and pungent wood dust was spewing out from inside. It was obvious that the ancient building was about to collapse!

"Come on!"

Qin An originally wanted to throw the archaeological team members out one by one, but considering that it was the third floor, they would be seriously injured even if they didn't die from the fall, so he had no choice but to give up!

"Boom bang bang-"

Qin An had just finished speaking.

The ancient building began to collapse on a large scale!

"Boom-thump-thump-"

at the same time.

The bell on the roof of the ancient building also emitted a long, resonant sound, somewhat similar to a novice monk striking a bell in a temple!

"Whoosh whoosh-"

The entire ancient building has completely collapsed!

Do not!

It's not just the ancient building that's collapsing!

Even the ground beneath the ancient building is collapsing!

"Boom boom boom——"

The members of the archaeological team turned pale with fright.

Qin An immediately shouted, "Stand in the corners! Stay away from the main pillars!"

It's unclear whether the others heard it or not.

The entire ancient building collapsed at an extremely rapid pace!

The whole process took only about ten or twenty seconds. The once towering ancient building was reduced to ruins, and a large pit was formed on the ground. The fragments of the ancient building were like garbage filled into the pit.

Dust flew everywhere, and white mist blinded us.

[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! Could this ancient building be a shoddy construction project from ancient times? How could it just collapse like that?]

[Chi You bears full responsibility for this!]

[Chi You: Damn it, I built my own ancient tomb, but I didn't let you guys in to do an archaeological dig! You come in and die, and I'm supposed to be fully responsible?]

【What happened? 】

[What do we do? Has the entire archaeological team been wiped out? Such a tall ancient building collapsed, and they're still inside; they must have been crushed to death.]

It's hard to say... This ancient building has been in disrepair for many years, and the ironwood cores have long since rotted into dust, barely anything at all! It shouldn't kill anyone, but that's assuming you don't get hit by the main beams or the temple bell on the roof.

................................

After the dust and mist dissipated a little.

A slight sound came from the ruins of the ancient building, and a moment later, several large wooden planks were pushed open!

Qin An emerged from the ruins as if he were floating on the surface of water, and after taking a breath of fresh air, he quickly moved aside.

After a while.

Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan also crawled out of the hole from which Qin An had emerged, followed by the rest of the archaeological team.

"Cough cough cough..."

One by one, they stood on the ruins of the ancient building, coughing.

It was obvious that he had inhaled a lot of dust due to his panic.

I forced myself to write two chapters, which are far from satisfactory. I hope you readers will bear with me. Once I've adjusted my state, I'll start updating like crazy tomorrow!
