348 Quickly Run Away
He ran to the entrance of the tomb. This time, he remembered something. Before closing the door, he looked at the tomb and saw that there was nothing unusual inside. Then, he closed the door. After closing the door, Wen Le turned around and chased after Wei Ting.
Originally, everyone was about to leave, but he did not expect that at the last moment, he would cause trouble again.
Because it was too dark here, he was in a hurry to chase after Wei Ting after closing the door. In his hurry, he didn’t look at his feet. He only heard a ‘plop’ sound, as if he had stepped on something.
Wen Le bent down and looked down. He had actually stepped on two centipedes to death! Su Meng had just warned him, but he still stepped on it. Wen Le turned his head and looked to the side. The surroundings were clean and there was not a single living centipede. It seemed that there were only these two centipedes.
It should be fine. How could such a small thing be dangerous?
Wen Le consoled himself and stopped worrying. However, when he looked down at the centipedes that had been squashed and were flowing with green water, he suddenly felt disgusted. He kicked the two centipede corpses aside in disgust and ran a few steps to catch up with Wei Ting.
He didn’t expect Wei Ting to be able to walk so fast with Su Meng in his arms even on the uneven stone road. Wen Le was afraid that he would trip over a rock so he walked with extra caution. As he walked, he started to fall behind.
The two of them walked for a while before Wei Ting suddenly stopped in his tracks. Wen Le, who was following behind, almost bumped into his back. Fortunately, his core strength was not bad and he managed to control himself.
“President Wei, why aren’t you leaving?”
“Shush, shush.” Su Meng signaled for him to keep quiet.
Su Meng and Wei Ting looked at each other. Su Meng asked, “You heard it too?”
“Yes.” Wei Ting nodded. Very fast, and it sounds like there are a lot of them.
Wen Le did not understand what Wei Ting and Su Meng meant, but he did not dare to ask loudly, so he could only ask in a low voice, “What’s wrong with Master? Could it be that you’re hallucinating too?”
Su Meng ignored him and listened carefully. Soon, there was a strange rustling sound around them. It sounded like the whispering of ghosts. It was getting closer and closer, making people feel uncomfortable.
Wen Le finally understood what Su Meng was listening to. The sound was so terrifying that it made his teeth ache.
“Master, what’s that sound? Why does it feel like there’s a lot of them? And is the sound coming towards us?” Wen Le covered his ears, trying hard to block out the annoying sound. However, the sound was soft but it drilled into his ears. It was useless even if he covered his ears with his hands.
Su Meng shone the flashlight in front of them and said to Wei Ting, “The sound is coming from the front. Let’s retreat.”
“Alright,” he said. Wei Ting had the same intention. After Su Meng finished speaking, he slowly retreated while carefully observing his surroundings.
Wen Le saw Wei Ting being so cautious and began to feel nervous for no reason. He had finally gotten rid of the evil aura in his body, and he was about to leave. Was something else going to happen?
“Please don’t cause any more trouble. I’m about to be set free. God bless me. I won’t do this kind of thing again.” Wen Le followed Wei Ting as they retreated, praying softly.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a black shadow flashing in front of them. Wei Ting held Su Meng tightly and stared at the black shadow with half-squinted eyes.
The black shadow moved very quickly, and it didn’t take long for it to reach a place where the flashlight could shine on. Only then did the three of them see clearly what it was. It was actually a dense mass of colorful centipedes!
The large group of centipedes crawled toward Su Meng and her friends as if they were organized. They were so fast that they could fly. In the blink of an eye, they had already moved a few meters.
“Run! Retreat to the tomb and close the door!” Su Meng turned around and shouted at Wen Le.
“Hurry up!”
Everything happened so suddenly that Wen Le was stunned for a moment. After Su Meng urged him again, he finally reacted. He turned and ran, quickly opening the door of the tomb. After Wei Ting carried Su Meng in, he immediately closed it.
“Oh my god, what’s going on? Why are there so many centipedes underground, and they’re all crawling out? Are they here to look for food?” Wen Le was still in a state of shock after closing the door. He leaned against the door and panted heavily.
Su Meng was confused as well. She frowned. “It’s strange. Everything was fine just now. Why did those things suddenly come out?”
Although one centipede was not big, there were so many of them. With so many of them, the person who was bitten would probably not even have a skeleton left.
“That shouldn’t be the case. Why would they come out for no reason? You didn’t encounter them when you came here before, and we’ve been here for so long, but they didn’t appear. Why did they appear when we left?”
