——————In the tomb

"Where did Lingzi go?" Wu Xie scratched his head, he had no clue at all.

In the end, they focused their attention on the mercenary. His spoken English wasn't very good, and they were a little worried that he might blunder, but after listening to Black Bear's broken English, they felt relieved. Anyway, he didn't know any of it, so what if he understood?

"Perhaps you have never seen a teenager with white hair?"

"White hair?" The mercenary realized someone was speaking English and understood they were talking to him, but after a moment's thought, he added, "I'm sorry, it's really dark in here. I can't see. I lost my flashlight. They threw me out."

Wu Xie found that simple communication wasn't as difficult as he had imagined, and he was grateful to his CET-4 and CET-6 teachers for making it easier for him to understand.

"Naive, what did he say? What did you say sorry for? Tell Fatty quickly."

“He was kicked out. The bad news is that he lost his flashlight, and he hasn’t seen Lingzi,” Wu Xie answered truthfully.

The fat man immediately lost interest after hearing this and muttered, "I should have known better than to go through all that trouble."

Several people understood what he meant, and none of them said anything after hearing this; some even agreed with him.

As they walked inside, Shi Xi's words carried a hint of complaint: "Why did it take you so long to come down? Hurry up and get through this gap."

The path had come to an end, with only a narrow crevice between stones, barely wide enough for one person to squeeze through sideways. It looked as if it had been chiseled by an axe, leaving irregular marks.

When building tombs, craftsmen usually like to leave themselves a chance of survival, but this one...

"It's so narrow it's practically a gap between people, how can anyone walk through it?" Panzi asked, holding up his flashlight.

"Exactly, why do I always end up like this? I'm here to raid tombs, not to lose weight," the fat man chimed in.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Just leave." Shi Xi said and then went inside.

Seeing that he was bleeding profusely, they all crawled in. Since he had gone ahead to scout ahead, they were less wary than before and crawled in themselves.

Because it was too narrow, the group could only walk sideways like crabs. The further they went, the fainter the traces of human intervention became, revealing that the path ahead was completely natural. Inside, it was impossible to turn around. Large amounts of colored karst covered the rocks, which were covered with transparent frost.

Wu Xie felt his neck was about to cramp, but there was nothing he could do. Zhuang Zhuang wasn't very well-behaved. Whenever he encountered this kind of wall-climbing behavior, he would jump up like a gecko, especially in places like this where everyone was busy with their own things. If no one paid attention to him, he would climb up and down the wall by himself. If someone saw him, they would scold him, and he would quiet down for a while. But after a while, when no one paid attention to him, he would climb up again.

After walking for a while, everyone was exhausted. Cheng Yu even doubted the authenticity of the fact that some craftsmen had actually left from here, but seeing how determined Shi Xi was, he didn't say anything.

Unexpectedly, we actually made it out. The inside was a bit more spacious, and there were signs of human activity, but everything was very old, with a few burnt torches lying in the corridor.

There wasn't anything particularly special about it, but the scenery on both sides was exceptionally beautiful. The glass and melted mica sparkled under the flashlight beam, and the reflected light was dreamlike. In Fatty's words, this place was more suitable for tourism development, and there would always be a group of people willing to pay for it.

Unfortunately, the scenery here doesn't belong to anyone, and Fatty's money-making plan has once again failed.
