Book 4: Chapter 80: Sacrifice

I glanced at Fatty, who spread his hands out and said, "I didnt do anything."

"Get your gun out," I said to him.

Everyone started to pull their guns out of their backpacks. Some of them were trained and acted very quickly, but they obviously werent as skilled as me and Fatty.

Once the bullets were loaded, we squatted close to Ming Er Nagqu and watched her slowly dance as she opened the box and took out the crown.

Brother Gan Shan and the other dogs were all at a loss because they didn't know what these silly humans were doing.(1) I made a gesture telling them to stay alert and to attack at will in addition to giving a warning bark.

But after thinking about it, I felt that this was wrong, so I went over, kicked Ming Er Nagqu to the ground, and snatched the crown from her. If she put this on and we used her as bait, I wouldnt know what to tell her family.

Xiuxiu's satellite phone was still playing the incantation, and it was becoming clearer and clearer by the minute. Xiuxiu and I looked at each other. It had to be because the phone emitting the signal was approaching us, but whoor whatwas holding the satellite phone? Was it Black Glasses or something else?

I motioned to Xiuxiu to turn the satellite phone off, so she quickly pulled the battery out.

Quiet was instantly restored to our surroundings, and all of us held our breath. I went to lift the crown up and saw that Ming Er Nagqu was getting up slowly while staring straight at the crown.

Without the evil background chanting, her actions seemed very embarrassing now. I moved to confront her, but she rushed to grab the phoenix crown, so I threw it directly to Fatty.

She turned her head violently to follow it, but I hit her on the back of the head with the butt of my gun, knocking her out.

Everyone else relaxed a little, but I waved my hand and pointed to the crown in Fatty's hand, silently telling him to throw it away.

Fatty didn't understand what I meant and made a gesture, thinking that I would let him keep it, so I anxiously said to him, "Throw it away."

Fatty thought for a moment and then threw the crown towards the hot spring. Almost at the same time, all the dogs looked in the direction of the hot spring. I also stood up to look at it and saw that bubbles began to appear in all of the hot springs.

Then, we all felt a slight vibration under our feet. Everyone immediately pointed their guns at the ground, but we obviously couldnt see anything.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

Based on the situation just now, the satellite phone should be in that things body, so we might be able to figure out something by following the strength of the signal.

The team was spread out in a long line that stretched on for a kilometer, but we didnt lose anyone because the signal sometimes stopped moving and Xiuxiu didn't dare press on. Most of the time, we didnt know where it was or if it was in our range of sight.

After chasing it for about four hours, something I didn't expect to see suddenly appeared in front of ustrees.

When we got closer, we found that there were not only bare stones in this rocky area, but also many fallen leaves and soil that formed from decayed vegetation. The trees behind the ones we initially saw became denser and denser, and all of them appeared to be pine trees or trees you would find near the snow line.

Fatty walked over and was very surprised to find that all of the trees here were actually alive.

I looked up and found that there was a crevice at the top of this area which seemed to lead to the outside, but it was very high up.

"The sunlight shouldnt be able to penetrate this far down; youd only see a sliver at most," Fatty said.

It should be night now, and since it was only during the daytime that we could tell what was going on here, Xiuxiu fired a signal flare into the depths of this narrow forest.

An ancient, three-story building with flying eaves suddenly appeared out of the darkness in front of us, but we couldnt tell how old it was since it was completely covered in fallen leaves.

Fatty and I looked at each other, completely surprised. The signal of the satellite phone in Xiuxiu's hand was very strong, meaning that the strange thing should be in front of us, probably in this building.

TN Notes:

(1) I used silly, but the term yaoezi () is actually slang from Northern China. Its used when you want to express that something is a strange/wicked/bad idea. This article has an interesting expos on it.
