Chapter 285 Not The Real Tomb
Chapter 285 Not The Real Tomb
Mei Xing her breath hitched as she looked at the figure that was standing at the very end of the corridor, she didn't know how long the corridor was—— all she knew was that she wanted to leave. " You guys, even if you don't want to believe me you need to listen to me. Right now, I heard that thing roar… didn't you hear it?"
" Mie Xing, it's enough all right," Shi Caihong said from the entrance of the tomb. "It's nothing but just a bit of rain, why are you overreacting like this? I mean how can you have so little guts, didn't you say that you wanted to prove to your grandmother that things like ghosts and demons were nothing but feudal superstitions, now what? You are doing the exact same thing! And we are already here, we have pooled in all our savings just to come here, how can we not go inside? Are you going to act like chicken now?"
Li Yiqian too chimed along with Shi Caihong having enough of Mei Xing's interruption. " Look Xing Xing, there is no way you can chicken out now all right? I paid for this trip including everyone's plane ticket. You know how hard it was for me with everyone's credit card being taken away, we are going in no matter what, okay? If you are scared then you can come slowly at the very end of the group okay? I will go first and then you all can come after me."
" No, Yiqian listen to me…" Mei Xing shouted but she was already a step too late both Shi Caihong and Li Yiqian entered the tomb one after another and following them was an overly eager Shao Li Jun.
Mei Xing saw them entering the tomb and suddenly felt the sudden change in the current of air, she didn't know how it was possible but it was as if the air seemed to have bent in a way making it even impossible for them to get out of this place unscathed. Her heart took a sudden dip and settled itself at the bottom of her stomach.
Seeing that Shi Caihong along with Li Yiqian really entered the tomb, others could help but turn anxious after all there was no way they could leave the three of them alone now, right?
Li Na and Fan Ehuang turned to look at Mei Xing before Fan Ehuang said in a solemn voice, " Xing Xing, I think we should go now as well, I mean I don't want those three to get lost and if they were to walk away then where are we going to look for them?"
She was right, though they had torches and smartphones, the tomb was underground and it was even darker than the forest outside. If Shi Caihong and others were to get lost in this place what will they do? In such places, it was better to stick together.
" She is right, I think we should go as well, Xing Xing," Though Tao Guotin wanted to treat Mei Xing nicely, he couldn't just let go of the challenge that his archenemy gave him. He has to finish this challenge no matter what, that's why he ignored the scared look on Mei Xing's face and prepared to bring her inside the tomb. "Let's go, we are here anyway. If we came this far and return without fulfilling the challenge then I am afraid that our enemies will get a chance to call us cowards."
Kong Kun too hated that stupid brat who always looked for trouble with their group, so he too chimed along with Tao Guotin and said, " Xing Xing, don't be afraid, we have been to many places like this before. There is nothing it's just that it looks a bit scary with all the rain and thunderstorm nothing else, once you go inside you will realise that there is nothing to be afraid of in there, okay?"
Mei Xing wanted to leave but she really couldn't be this selfish as to leave Shi Caihong and the others alone what was more she couldn't go back with her swollen ankle even if she wanted to in the end she just nodded and let Kong Kun and Tao Guotin help her get inside the tomb, as soon as she stepped inside the door of the tomb, she heard the loud roar of the figure followed by a loud crackling sound of thunderclap outside, now her bracelet was burning right into her skin. She was sure that if not for it being a safety talisman, it would have burned right into her skin!
The five of them hurried after Shi Caihong and Li Yiqian, the two were looking around the grimy walls of the tomb with curious looks on their faces. Shao Li Jun was walking right beside Shi Caihong telling her jokes after one another as if he was trying to lighten the mood.
Seeing that the five of them have finally come to where they were standing Li Yiqian turned around and looked at them with a smile. " See, Xing Xing? You were just scaring yourself, there is nothing at the end of the corridor here, you see?" He patted the wall in front of him and said, " I knew the villagers were just trying to spread the rumours about this place to increase their popularity, there is nothing there even that coffin looks like it has been placed here for the show."
He pointed to the other end of the room where an old coffin was lying on top of a raised platform. Spider webs and dust seem to have coated it to the point that it no longer resembled a coffin but just a small stone box.
" You were getting scared for nothing——"
" That's not the real coffin," before Li Yiqian could say anything anymore, Mei Xing stared at the coffin that was lying on top of the raised platform with a hoarse voice she interrupted him. " That coffin does not belong to the Lost Emperor, do you think that an Emperor's coffin would be like this? Are you that naive?"
