The Eldest Senior Brother was rather relaxed as he weakly waved his hand and said, "Youngest junior brother, you don't need to be so busy. The Eldest Senior Brother said," Youngest junior brother, you don't need to be so busy as to be too busy.

After circling the room and finding nothing, I sat on the ground dispiritedly. Following that, eldest senior brother and I both remained silent.

The eldest senior brother was leaning against me and his body was extremely weak. Not long after, he drowsily fell asleep once again.

But I couldn't sleep, my mind was preoccupied with my thoughts. That powerful consciousness was in danger just now, so I opened up Master and Second Martial Aunt's seal on it, allowing it to take over my body and help us kill that terrifying fur roar.

However, when I was successful, that powerful consciousness retreated and was sealed within my dantian once again.

It could have stayed, it could have worn away my consciousness, it could have even become me, but it didn't. Why?

Could it be that it knows that even if it possessed my body, it would still die in this tomb, so it chose to continue being a spirit body?

Or perhaps, he was someone who kept his promises and promised not to take advantage of others when they were in danger, so he didn't continue taking over my body and retreated back into his dantian.

Under normal circumstances, I would be unable to communicate with this powerful consciousness. It can only contact me, but I am unable to contact it. The main reason is because there is a world of difference between the two of us.

Now that Eldest Senior Brother had woken up, I felt slightly more at ease. However, I couldn't be like Eldest Senior Brother who could still sleep without a care in the world. Thus, I turned on the flashlight and placed it on the bronze coffin.

I had been afraid of the dark since I was a child, especially in such a sealed space.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, and the sounds of eldest senior brother and I gasping for breath could be heard. However, it was unknown how long this time would last. There was no need to say anything about the fear in my heart.

The eldest senior brother slept soundly and even let out a light snoring sound.

What made me secretly rejoice was that I still had that stalk of Sun Returning Ghost Mother Grass on me. Otherwise, Big Senior really wouldn't be able to survive this time.

He did not know how long he sat like this for. Time passed by, minute by minute. Every second was very long.

But there was one thing to be thankful for, and that was that the air in the room didn't seem as thin as we'd expected. At least my breathing was normal now, and I wondered if there were any other vents.

Just as I was about to stand up and continue searching, a faint sound suddenly entered my ears, making me alert for a moment. I pricked up my ears and listened carefully.

After a while, a small black dot suddenly moved quickly towards us.

After I saw the situation clearly, I couldn't help but be startled and immediately give Eldest Senior Brother a light push on his shoulder. Eldest Senior Brother was sleeping in a daze, so I woke him up, feeling a little displeased.

After he opened his eyes, I signalled for him to keep quiet so that he could look in the direction of my finger. When the eldest senior brother saw my serious expression, he squinted his eyes and looked at the big grey rat that was heading towards us.

When Eldest Senior Brother and I were eating, I dropped half of my ham on the ground. Due to being covered in a lot of dirt, I didn't pick it up to eat.

The eldest senior brother looked at the big grey mouse and asked me with a puzzled expression, "Youngest junior brother …" "Why are you so shocked? Isn't it just a mouse? What's there to look at?"

I asked in pleasant surprise, "Eldest senior brother, is your brain damaged?" For a mouse to appear here means that the other party must have a mouse hole. Perhaps, the mouse hole can lead to the outside. That is to say, we definitely won't be suffocating here … "

When the eldest senior brother heard my words, he immediately brightened with happiness. He patted my shoulder and said, "Aiya, I didn't expect you to be so smart. You really deserve to have gone to university …"

Following that, eldest senior brother and I stared straight at the big grey mouse. It finished off the half of the sausage in a short while. Afterwards, it sniffed around, turned around, and crawled towards the side.

I hurriedly stood up and took the powerful light flashlight from the coffin and headed in the direction of the big grey mouse. The eldest senior brother also held his peach wood sword and supported the coffin as he stood up.

After the large grey haired rat had eaten its fill, it ran in the direction of a corner and disappeared without a trace in a flash.

I held onto Eldest Senior Brother as we walked towards the place where the big grey mouse disappeared and quickly used my flashlight to shine on it. At this moment, I discovered a fist-sized hole in the wall.

Eldest Senior Brother and I stood by the side of the mouse hole. After squatting down and looking around, he said, "Junior Brother, it seems that we can't hold it in any longer. The final method of dying might be starvation."

However, I said, "We have compressed biscuits here. I estimate that we will be able to endure for a period of time. It shouldn't be a problem for us to do so for more than a week. I feel that the possibility of dying from thirst is rather high."

"Aiya, little junior brother, I suddenly thought of something. That bottle of mineral water must be kept well. If you want to pee, you should pee in it. I'm guessing that it will last for a while longer …"

I heard that one year when there was a mine accident, someone was trapped in the underground and had to drink urine and drink to persevere. However, my resistance towards this method was still quite great, and I couldn't accept it for a while. Perhaps when I can't stand being thirsty anymore, it will be better then.

Looking at the mouse hole, I suddenly had an idea. I quickly took out my backpack and took out a few dark items for Eldest Martial Brother to see. When the Eldest Martial Brother saw these items, he asked me, "What is this?"

"Explosives." I explained, "I thought back to when Little Senior Sister and I went to Ling Nan Medicine Monster's Stealing Sun Returning Ghost Mother Grass and met a few Thai people. At that time, they were carrying these explosives and Little Senior Sister and I stole his bag, leaving behind a few pieces of explosives. I thought that it might be useful, so I kept it with us."

"What are you doing with this thing?" The senior monk asked curiously.
