I just broke up with my boyfriend and then I transmigrated into the world of "The Lost Tomb&quo

"Wu Xie!" Ling Xiao called him softly. Wu Xie looked with his flashlight and saw a white figure on the steps not far ahead.

"Lingzi?" Wu Xie stepped forward and tentatively asked.

"It's me! You're way too slow!" Ling Xiao said with a hint of complaint in his voice.

"How did you know it was me?" Wu Xie asked him.

“Because…” Ling Xiao deliberately dragged out the last syllable, “you look like a loser!”

"What kind of time is this to be joking?" Wu Xie said, somewhat annoyed.

"Alright, alright, no more joking around," Ling Xiao coaxed, then said to Wu Xie with unusual seriousness, "After two more stone steps, the steps below will be at a 90-degree angle, and you'll have to turn your back to climb down."

Wu Xie glanced at the steps below, nodded, and asked Ling Xiao, "What do you plan to do?" He was referring to the people upstairs.

Ling Xiao knew what he meant by the question and replied casually, "They have a map. Let's follow them first."

There was no danger here, and the two soon saw the secret passage leading to the exit. A strong wind blew up at the exit, and Wu Xie had just taken out his whistle when it was blown off. The wind was so strong that if they didn't hurry down, they could be blown away at any moment, so the two of them quickened their pace.

After passing through the secret passage, he came across a river as wide as a basketball court, which annoyed Ling Xiao...

The river was flowing very rapidly. Wu Xie took a few steps further in and found that he was going deeper and deeper into the river. The water was also very hot, so he quickly turned back.

"Holy crap! It's burning me!" A voice rang out. Wu Xie shone his flashlight and saw that the group of people had come down. The one who shouted was the young man with glasses who looked scholarly.

They examined the surrounding rock formations with flashlights, and the clerk exclaimed, "What a masterpiece! Who would have thought that the path to the tomb was an underground river?"

"Boss Wang, does the map you have show how to get there?" Uncle Tai asked Boss Wang.

The boss, Mr. Wang, flipped through his notebook and said, "This map says there are two iron chains underwater that extend all the way to the entrance of the underground palace."

"Damn it! There really is one!" Uncle Tai shone his flashlight into the water and spotted the wrist-thick iron chain.

The young man went into the water and tried to pull on the iron chain, but found that he couldn't budge it at all. He then turned to Old Tai and said, "Uncle Tai, is it not a good idea to go by water? That Boss Li died so tragically just now. What if we encounter that kind of fish again?"

From their conversation, it was clear that the man called Boss Li had already been eaten by that taimen. Wu Xie swallowed hard, looked at Ling Xiao, and whispered to him, "Ling Zi, that fish really eats people!"

Ling Xiao glanced at him sideways and said, "Isn't the fish's behavior obvious enough?"

“Er Mazi, you’re overthinking it. The water is so hot, which means there must be a hot spring below. How could there be fish?” Liang Shiye, standing to the side, touched the water and said to the young man.

Ling Xiao heard a sound coming from the water, looked around, and called out, "Old Yang!"

Lao Yang subconsciously turned around and replied, "Huh?"

As he turned around, his backpack bumped into Lao Tai, who, caught off guard, fell into the water and bumped into Er Mazi, who was lying in the water.

"Be careful..." Ling Xiao finished speaking somewhat awkwardly.

Just as Ling Xiao finished speaking, a yellow column of water suddenly shot out from the water, rushing straight to the top of the cave and knocking everyone down onto the shallows.

When the group stood up, they saw that Uncle Tai and Er Mazi's bodies, covered in red blisters, had been washed ashore by the waves.

For some reason, the two corpses were washed right up to Wu Xie's feet... Wu Xie stared at the two corpses in a daze.

"Damn it, Wuxie, stop standing there! Get underwater! The water's cold! This is an intermittent hot spring; it'll scald you to death! You'll die if you stay on the shore!" Lao Yang yelled at Wuxie as he watched him stand there in a daze, and then dived into the water.

What he said was true, because soon another wave of hot spring water surged up, and those on the shore could only wait to be scalded to death.

Upon hearing his shout, the group all dived into the water and swam for several hundred meters. Suddenly, Lao Yang yelled, "Get to the side! Get to the side quickly!"

Following the flashlight beam, Ling Xiao saw that Wu Xie seemed a little flustered, so he pulled him to the side and swam away. However, Liang Shiye behind them seemed to have choked on water and was shouting for help when he bumped into Ling Xiao and Wu Xie, and the three of them immediately rolled into a heap.

When Wu Xie surfaced, he found himself at the waterfall. He saw Ling Xiao holding his waist with one hand to prevent him from falling, and holding the iron chain with the other. Lao Yang, Master Liang, and Boss Wang were holding the other iron chain.

Wu Xie steadied himself and gripped the iron chain.

"They're here! They're here!" Lao Yang cried out in alarm.

Wu Xie and Ling Xiao were facing each other from opposite directions. Wu Xie immediately saw the hot water column behind Ling Xiao, which was about to rush over from a few hundred meters away.

The clerk hurriedly shouted, "I have an idea! Listen to me! We'll dive into the water and wait for the hot water jet to pass."

"No! The water volume is too high; we'll be scalded to death if we go down!" Ling Xiao glanced at the water column and quickly rejected his idea.

"What should we do then?" Wu Xie looked at Ling Xiao anxiously. He felt that Ling Xiao was the only straw that could save their lives, and he hoped that Ling Xiao could come up with a way to save their lives.

Ling Xiao, however, stared intently at the bottom of the waterfall, then calmly looked at Wu Xie and asked, "Want to make a bet with me?"

"What do you want to do?" Wu Xie asked Ling Xiao in a panic. He had a premonition that this guy must have thought of something crazy again.

Then Ling Xiao smiled at him with shining eyes and said, "Jump down!"

Before Wu Xie could answer, Ling Xiao added, "If you're not going to jump, I'll jump myself!"

Wu Xie thought for a moment. Either way, he was going to die. Jumping down might give him a chance to survive. So he nodded and said, "I'll jump!" The word "jump" was slurred, which showed how determined he was.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Xiao grabbed him and jumped down.

Wu Xie could clearly feel that Ling Xiao switched places with him just as his back was about to touch the pool, and then he heard a muffled groan.
