Tao Guotin and Kong Kun were dragged by Mei Xing, but they were after all the men in this situation, they couldn't let a woman take care of them, can they? They hurriedly recovered from the incident that just happened and clasped hold of Mei Xing before running with all their might. Behind them, little fatty was panting as he rushed down the stairs chanting, " I am going to die!", " We are going to die," and whatnot.
He turned to look at Tao Guotin as they all rushed in the opposite direction in which they ran first and said, " Where are we going?"
" Where ever the stone path leads us," said Tao Guotin as he ran to the other end of the corridor, he still hadn't forgotten the corpse hands that burst through the sand to catch hold of Shi Caihong and Li Na. " Now I understand why no one was able to snap a picture of this place."
" It wasn't that they couldn't do it but because they never made alive out of this place," finished Kong Kun as he dragged Mei Xing who was still limping but trying her best to keep up with the two of them.
He turned to look at Mie Xing and asked, " Are you okay? Can you still go on?"
Mei Xing was panting but she somehow nodded her head, she looked at Tao Guotin whose face was stretched taut. She wanted to ask whether or not he was okay but she couldn't bring herself to say anything at the moment, she knew that Tao Guotin was scared stiff and the only reason he was able to run this far was that he was trying his best to save their lives.
She didn't say anything to him and kept on running, the group reached a section where many paths were stretching so wide underground that no one would have thought that something so big lay beneath such a small tomb.
" No more, I can't run anymore," said Little fatty as he slumped to his knees and hugged his legs. He already surpassed himself by running so much that if he was to run any more then he might as well die of overworking his body than being killed by a monster.
It was as if little fatty said a bunch of magic words one by one everyone slumped down on the ground, panting and coughing as they tried to inhale as much breath in their system as they could.
Even Tao Guotin and Kong Kun let go of Mei Xing before slipping down on the floor.
" We will only rest for three minutes," said Fan Ehuang as she looked at the other end of the corridor, again and again, her face despite being flushed red looked rather pale as she inhaled sharply, " I don't know when that thing would come here but just keep on running shall we?"
" I think she is right," gasped Mei Xing as she rubbed her fingers on her swollen ankle. " We might have run far but that thing is not simple to deal with."
She was still filled with fear, if not for her bracelet that was modified by Tao Guotin's sister in law then …what might have happened to Tao Guotin? Even recalling how that thing jumped on Tao Guotin with his mouth widely stretched Mei Xing was still shuddering with fear.
With her fingers still clasping on her ankle, she slid towards Tao Guotin and peered down at his terrified face. " Guotin are you okay? Does anywhere hurt?"
Only then the others snapped out of their daze, that's right! Tao Guotin was almost killed by that thing right now, thinking about how he almost lost his best friend, Kong Kun immediately walked towards Tao Guotin who was slumped against the wall and checked him top to bottom as he asked, " Tin Tin, do you feel all right? Did that thing touch you just now?"
Tao Guotin shook his head, even now he could see the ugly face that was heading straight for him. Its dark bleeding eyes, mouth filled with sharp teeth and that sinister smile —— even if he wanted to forget that sight he couldn't do it. Every time he closed his eyes, that figure would start dancing in front of him causing Tao Guotin to shudder in terror.
He gritted his teeth and scrubbed his face harshly. " I am fine, that thing didn't touch anything."
Though he said that he was fine everyone could see that he was trembling, he rubbed his eyes harshly before slapping his face hard. This scene terrified everyone so much that they all took a step back, only Mei Xing stayed next to Tao Guotin since she could see that he wasn't possessed by anything.
" Stupid, I am such a stupid! Why didn't I listen to my brother when he said that I shouldn't come here? if only I listened to even if I was reluctant to do so, then I wouldn't be in this situation, you guys wouldn't be in this life-threatening situation either, Shi Caihong and Li Na wouldn't have to die. … it is all because of me! I am the stupid one! For a stupid dare, I put all of your lives in danger! I can't even apologise because no matter how I do it, it wouldn't change anything!"
As he spoke, he harshly slapped his face, each slap was harder than the first one. " Brother Shen, I am so sorry please just save this idiotic brother of yours once!"
" Achoo!" Fu Yu Shen rubbed his nose as soon as he sneezed, slightly sniffing he looked around the mountain's foot and then frowned. " Why is it so cold? If I knew that it was going to rain today then I would have brought an umbrella with me!"
Song Yan raised her head and then looked at the tomb at the top of the mountain, she could of course hear the roars from inside. Fang Yanli sombrely gazed at the tomb too before she sighed in grief and said, " Two out of eight died, are we going to save them now?"
