Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 928 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 16

Those sea monkeys are incredibly fast; they can leap very far in a single bound, easily scaling walls and descending to the ground.

Wu Xie was unlucky; in his panic, he stepped on an arrow on the ground and slipped and fell.

He even fell down in the critical moment, landing face down on the ground.

Seeing that the sea monkey was about to pounce on him, he quickly got up, found two jars, and threw them at it.

"Hey, you surnamed Wu, come in quickly." Gu Wusi waved from a secret room.

Wu Xie quickly ran over, and the two of them closed the door to prevent the sea monkeys outside from coming in.

But soon, the sea monkey began digging a hole under the door.

Wu Xie was caught off guard and almost got his leg grabbed. Gu Wusi pushed him and took the dagger from his body.

She stepped forward, quickly pierced the sea monkey's arm, grabbed it, and slashed it off.

"Well done." Wu Xie got up and saw a severed arm.

"Roar—" the sea monkey roared in pain, pounding on the door desperately.

Fortunately, this gate is quite sturdy, and the sea monkeys can't break through it for the time being.

Only then did the two have time to see where they were. When they turned around, they realized that it was a rather large side hall.

Inside the hall was a large spring pool, above which hung a coffin resembling a bathtub, suspended by iron chains.

Compared to Wu Xie, who was looking around with great interest and muttering to himself...

Gu Wusi wasn't interested, so she found a place to sit and didn't move.

Only when they heard movement underwater did the two exchange a wary glance.

Wu Xie stared intently at the water's surface: "Could it be that the sea monkeys have come looking for us?"

"It could also be some other kind of monster. There are quite a few strange things in this tomb."

"What should we do? Should we run away?"

"Let's take a look first." Gu Wusi knew what it was, so naturally she wouldn't run away.

The next moment, they saw two people emerge from the water; it was Zhang Qiling and Fatty Wang.

"Silent One, Fatty, what's going on with you two?"

Wu Xie went over to help the two people, but Gu Wusi didn't move.

The fat man, panting, came ashore: "We went down into that coffin and got here. There was something inside that corpse. Luckily, we ran fast."

"What is that?" Wu Xie asked.

"White-haired drought demon, are you alone?" Zhang Qiling shone his flashlight behind him.

The fat man also asked, "Yeah, young comrade, why are you alone? Where's the young lady?"

"Isn't he here?" Wu Xie turned around in confusion, only to find that the person was gone.

"Gu Wusi, Gu Wusi, where are you??"

The fat man complained to him, "What's going on? You didn't even know someone was missing?"

"We were just here a moment ago! We were hiding from the sea monkeys together."

The three of them looked around, but didn't see anyone anywhere.

The fat man saw the sea monkey's severed arm on the ground, kicked it, and joked, "You didn't break this thing, did you?"

Wu Xie wasn't embarrassed at all; he spoke frankly and honestly, though he was also a little worried.

"Yeah, I almost got my leg grabbed by a sea monkey. Gu Wusi saved me. I hope nothing happened to her. How come she just disappeared without a word?"

"Come on, with her skills, she's probably safer than you look."

"Then something must have happened to her. How did she leave? There's only one door here, and there's no sign of it being opened."

"It's a ghost."

Zhang Qiling silently observed the details on the door.

He couldn't find any other exits besides the bottom of the water, nor could he hear any other noise.

There were no signs that the door had been opened.

Fatty: "So, people just vanish into thin air?"

"Could it be another trap in this tomb? Just like before, it changes location in the blink of an eye," Wu Xie guessed.

"Then how do you explain it? Only the young lady is missing."

"The only difference is that she wasn't standing in the water with us just now."

The three of them couldn't figure it out, nor could they find the answer.

Although she was a little worried about Gu Wusi, she didn't lose control because of it, since they weren't close.

Moreover, there are many suspicious points about her, which makes her highly doubtful.

Therefore, when the tide receded in the center of the side hall, a staircase leading to the underground appeared below.

They then focused their attention on the condition of the tomb.

Gu Wusi left when no one was paying attention; she didn't open the door, but instead walked through the wall.

As for why I left, it's because I didn't want to participate in the later parts of the story.

Leaving without saying goodbye is also because it's hard to explain.

She wanted to visit places the main characters in the story didn't go to.

The unknown is more interesting than the known.

In addition, she had been out for too long, and the people on the yacht had already realized she was missing.

Xiao Qi reminded him, "Host, if you don't send a message back soon, they'll be calling the search and rescue team."

"Okay, get me some internet." Gu Wusi took out his phone and sent a text message to Ye Bing.

Once she had calmed everyone down, she could move freely through the tomb.

Quite a few people came, including A Ning from Jude Kao's group, members of the Wang family, and Xie Lianhuan as well.

Oh, and there's another one, the Black Bear who's been following us in the shadows.

The fact that the Iron Triangle didn't encounter any of these people indicates that the tomb is very large, and the area they visited was only a small part.

Gu Wusi walked toward the main burial chamber, which was the core of the tomb.

It's not the place with the model of the Heavenly Palace that the other characters went to in the story; that's not the main tomb chamber.

The journey was fraught with traps and obstacles of all kinds, making one marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.

Gu Wusi has now encountered a group of sea monkeys, watching them climb out of the water one by one.

She glanced back at what was behind her; the area in front of her was now surrounded by sea monkeys, leaving only the door she had come through behind her.

It seems the only way to get past is to break through, and the only way to run away is to give up.

Since we're already here, it wouldn't be right not to take a look.

Gu Wusi took out a sword and swung it, slicing the closest sea monkey that pounced on her in half at the waist. The sword energy exploded its head.

Even the two closest to it were accidentally injured by the sword energy.

A dozen or so sea monkeys were dealt with quickly; the last two sensed danger and ran away.

Gu Wusi continued forward, but when he encountered doors that required solving mechanisms to enter, he lost patience and simply walked through the walls.

She walked up a flight of stairs and entered a completely empty passageway.

The ceiling here is very low, only about two meters high, and all you can see when you look out is the sea.

Such an environment is prone to having forbidden women and may also cause hallucinations.

A torch appeared out of thin air in Gu Wusi's hand, instantly illuminating the passageway and raising the temperature inside.

After the fire was lit, the oxygen in the air became increasingly scarce.

But with no forbidden women blocking her way, she quickened her pace and exited the passageway.

After passing through countless tomb chambers, Gu Wusi finally arrived at the main tomb chamber.

This tomb chamber is much larger than the others, and the outer chamber is quite far away. There are several coffins placed directly above the center of the sea eye.

On a high platform in the inner chamber sat a golden statue.
