C275

Shi Lei looked at Zi Yangshu who was madly running behind him, and thought of his previous performance and couldn't help but regret.

If he wasn't so arrogant, he might have easily left this place.

But thinking about it now would be useless. Shi Lei ran crazily, thinking about how to quickly run under the Red Cliff Mountain. Only by doing this would he be able to obtain a chance at survival.

Maybe because Shi Lei found a chance to obtain the Taomou Herba, Zi Yangshu was very angry, he felt that Shi Lei was challenging his dignity, and would naturally not let it go.

After chasing for an unknown amount of time, the noise behind him was still as loud as ever. Shi Lei even felt like he was about to collapse.

He knew that if he continued to run, Zi Yangshu's stamina would definitely be much better than his. He would always be like this, but in the end, it would still be able to catch him.

If he really was caught, Shi Lei didn't even need to think to know what would happen to him.

When Shi Lei arrived at the halfway point of the mountain, he finally saw a cave. The sky was already completely dark, and if not for the flashlight in his hand, he probably wouldn't have been able to find this place.

When he entered the cave, Shi Lei originally wanted to go straight in, but the cave entrance seemed to be blocked by something, making it impossible for him to get in.

Shi Lei who no longer had any other choice but to admit his misfortune, looked at Zi Yangshu who was behind him. The flashlight shone on its face, but had no way to survive.

However, the current Zi Yangshu had an expression that was even more terrified than the one on his face. His widened eyes made others wonder who was chasing after who.

It seemed a little strange.

Zi Yangshu hesitated for a moment, his big eyes looked at Shi Lei, as though he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only look at his with sympathy, and then turned and left without any hesitation.

"What does that mean?"

Shi Lei was a little shocked. After all, the feeling of escaping from death was extremely good, even though he did not know why Zi Yangshu did it. Since he could survive while bringing along the Taomou Herba, it was something to be happy about.

There was a good saying. Curiosity could kill cats, although Shi Lei was no longer in danger, his expression just now made Shi Lei very curious.

"What exactly is inside?"

Shi Lei turned around and looked at the cave in front of him.

It was already late at night, so even if he descended the mountain himself, he wouldn't be able to hurry back in time. As long as he could return to the Jiangling tomorrow, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

"Do you want to go in and take a look now?"

Shi Lei said to himself in his heart.

Although the cave was blocked by something, Shi Lei was still able to think of a way to push the large stone board away. Thinking of this, Shi Lei decided to not do anything and immediately pushed down the stone slab.

Boom!

Dust rose in all directions, forming a column under the light of the flashlight. It was very beautiful.

As he walked into the cave, what appeared in front of Shi Lei was a very long corridor. The door looked very small, but inside there was a whole new dimension, it was very spacious.

The hallway was completely empty, as if no one had been in there for a long time. Shi Lei couldn't figure out what Zi Yangshu was afraid of about this cave, and the curiosity in his heart drove him to continue walking forward.

Although Red Cliff Mountain was a place where precious and rare Chinese medicinal herbs gathered, there were almost no ferocious beasts here.

Firstly, the location of the medicinal herbs was very concealed, like this time, if Shi Lei had not heard Zi Yangshu's shouts and followed the sound, he would not have discovered the location of the Taomou Herba.

The other problem was that many Chinese medical doctors in Yu City had spontaneously organized to protect the Red Cliff Mountain, limiting the number of herb merchants who could come in to pick herbs on a large scale.

Shi Lei was not worried about his safety, maybe this was something that the humans from back then had left behind.

After walking further in, Shi Lei finally saw something different.

There were many gems inside that were glittering with golden light. Even in this dark cave, they were still dazzling.

"These are all treasures?"

Shi Lei said in shock.

If it were his previous self, he would have already been overjoyed upon seeing these treasures.

What was this? He could even pick up money just by walking!

However, since he already had a certain status, Shi Lei did not feel too much towards money. Thus, after seeing these treasures, he was only slightly surprised for a bit, and did not have too many thoughts.

But, on the mountainside of Red Cliff Mountain, why would there be such a large amount of wealth?

With this doubt in his heart, Shi Lei continued to walk inside.

The situation behind these treasures began to change. No longer were there treasures, but instead, there were human skeletons.

What happened?

Shi Lei wanted to know, but no one could tell him.

He didn't dare to continue because he didn't know what would happen next. After all, everything was unknown, and the existence of these skeletons indicated that there were many more things.

No matter what was worth taking, a lot of people had died here.

When he thought about the possibility of his life being in danger, Shi Lei's heart started to tremble, just in case he encountered something terrifying, he would throw away the life that he had escaped from Zi Yangshu's hands.

The more he thought about it, the more scared he felt. The speed of Shi Lei's footsteps started to become faster, it's just that when he entered, there weren't any forks in the road. As a result, when he returned, there were actually many bends and forks in the road.

What was going on?

In a moment, Shi Lei felt that things were not as he had imagined. Without hesitation, he sped up his pace, hoping to leave as soon as possible before the situation worsened.

But it was too late.

As Shi Lei was just on guard, he remembered all the markers on the road clearly. He was about to rush out of the cave entrance when he suddenly heard a rumbling sound.

It was the same sound as when he pushed open the stone door.

The hole was blocked.

This...

Shi Lei really didn't know what to say anymore.

There were only a few more seconds left. If Shi Lei had realized this a few seconds earlier, he might have been able to walk out of the cave before it closed again.

Seeing this, Shi Lei knew in his heart that he was probably really finished.

Speaking of which, he had been too rash. If not for his curiosity, he might already be on his way down the mountain.

Now, there was really no saving him.
