Chapter 261: Miss Xiaoqi He Yu clearly thought this explanation was a bit far-fetched, but as the saying goes, "one does not believe in ghosts and gods until one has suffered." I was in a pathetic state—limbs weak, face pale, without a shred of strength left. The fissure was exceptionally narrow, forcing He Yu to drag me along as he crawled forward. Even with all that jostling, my eyelids kept drooping as I drifted in and out of consciousness. Eventually, I began to lose all sensation of my…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 262: The Giant Centipede People naturally become desensitized when sudden tragedy strikes. The moment a blow falls, the mind triggers a defense mechanism that provides a temporary escape from the pain. This is why He Yu and I sat there in a daze for a long time after Tian Xiaoqi stopped breathing in my arms. We sat so long that time seemed to lose all meaning. The blood on my hands had turned cold. A chilly wind blew in from outside the tent, making He Yu shudder. He jolted to his senses,…

- Chapter 263: The Prophecy I pulled my arm free from He Yu's grip and braced myself against the narrow stone walls of the crevice, inching a few steps toward the opening. I clicked on my flashlight and swept the beam outside. Right then, I saw a figure clad entirely in white robes drifting through the air in plain sight. The figure passed no more than ten meters away from me, close enough that I could see every detail of the ornaments on his body and head with startling clarity. A cold sweat broke out…

- Chapter 264: Adding Insult to Injury We retreated from the mouth of the fissure back into its depths to lay low. Whenever we raised our flashlights, though, we could still see the murals on the opposite wall. The giant centipede returned to patrol every now and then. If I wasn't mistaken, this was its territory. There was no telling how high this cliff actually was. Our flashlights couldn't reach the top, but going down wasn't an option either. Once we hit the ground, without the protection of the…

- Chapter 265: My Fourth Brother Mind you, this person had tumbled in, not crawled in. The first thing I noticed wasn't actually the man himself, but the black rope attached to him. This type of rope has a steel core, giving it incredible resilience. The only people I could think of who would use such professional gear were Chen Si and his crew. "Fourth Brother!" I cried out instinctively the moment I recognized the figure on the ground. I rushed over to help Chen Si up, while He Yu, hearing my shout,…

- Chapter 252: Going with the Flow I tossed the blood-stained bullet onto the ground and wrapped the bleeding wound tightly with gauze. A numbing wave of pain followed immediately. Leaning against the cave wall, my vision swam in dizzying pulses. I sat on the ground for a while to recover; the pain was so intense I felt the urge to vomit. Having eaten nothing, I had nothing to bring up, so I simply dry-heaved a few times before using the wall to pull myself to my feet. He Yu came over to support me,…

- Chapter 255: Qian Shizhong Once Fourth Brother finished his deployments, his men began moving to their respective tasks. They hauled their gear into the beds of the pickup trucks. He Yu and I stood up, preparing to follow, but as we passed Fourth Brother, he grabbed me by the collar and waved He Yu toward one of the trucks to take a seat. "How much do you know about your great-grandfather's affairs?" Fourth Brother hooked an arm around my neck and pulled me toward the lead pickup. That truck was…

- Chapter 256: Following the Map Wu Yili pulled the two fragmented pieces of the Burial Bone Testament from his bag and held them out to Qian Shizhong. Pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose, he spoke before I could get a word in. "I must ask you to help us decipher this map, old gentleman. Where exactly in Northern Shaanxi is the location indicated on this human skin map?" Qian Shizhong closed his eyes and turned his head away. Leaning both hands on his cane, he showed no intention of…
