Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
They had already walked out of the range of the tomb. There were only a few lamps in the passageway they were walking on. If one didn’t look carefully, they actually couldn’t see any changes.
Chu Luo said, “Previously, I’ve read through the notes of many tomb raiders. It said that this kind of situation has happened before. The tomb likely became moist because intruders upset the Feng Shui here and brought about changes.”
“What will happen in such a situation?”
“The poison inside will multiply in large numbers, and the poison will increase. When the time comes, even the air will be poisoned.”
Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, a faint scream filled with horror and pain came from afar.
Chu Luo and Li Yan looked at each other and quickly walked towards the source of the sound.
After walking for about two to three minutes, they arrived outside a stone door with a dagger.
She looked at the red liquid flowing out of the stone door and the rotten smell in the air.
At this moment, a familiar frightened and anxious voice sounded. “Big Blockhead, wake up. Don’t die! What will happen to me if you die?”
Chu Luo quickly took out a pill, crushed it, and sprinkled it on the ground. At the same time, she said to Li Yan,
“They must have encountered rotworms. These worms specialize in eating rotten corpses, and then this kind of blood-like liquid will flow out of their bodies. Once this liquid enters the lungs of a living person, the living person will be poisoned to death.”
Li Yan quickly glanced at the stone door and said, “There’s no switch outside this stone door, or the switch is inside. Why is Qin Ming holding the door with a dagger?”
“It’s possible that there’s no other exit inside. Once the door is closed, there’s no airflow.”
After saying that, Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “Yan, move aside. I’ll open the door.”
Li Yan retreated a little.
A light spot flew past Chu Luo’s hand and the door slowly rose.
When they saw the scene inside, Chu Luo and Li Yan’s expressions changed at the same time.
Qin Ming was lying on the ground. The skin on his face had already turned purple-green from the poison. Anya should have been protected by Qin Ming very well. Other than the red liquid on her clothes, with the poison-proof mask on her face, she shouldn’t have been poisoned.
Around the two of them were countless black worms that were attacking Qin Ming.
Holding a dagger in her hand, Anya quickly stabbed the worms.
As she did so, she cried and shouted at Qin Ming not to die.
When Chu Luo saw this scene, she quickly took out a medicine bottle, poured a handful of medicine, pinched it into powder, and sprinkled it on the worms.
Amid the crackling and burning sound, Anya finally discovered the two people standing by the tomb door.
She subconsciously shouted, “Chu, save Blockhead.”
Chu Luo and Li Yan strode in.
Chu Luo gestured to Li Yan. “Yan, quickly seal a few of Qin Ming’s major acupoints.”
Li Yan quickly tapped Qin Ming a few times.
Chu Luo took out a silver needle and quickly inserted it into Qin Ming’s body.
Then, she took out a pill and said to Anya, “Take the pill first.”
Anya took the pill, removed her mask, and swallowed it.
Li Yan asked Chu Luo, who was squatting beside Qin Ming, “How is he? Can he be saved?”
“As long as he’s still breathing, I can save him.”
After Chu Luo finished speaking, she asked Anya, “Why are you guys here?”
Anya said, “You guys have been in the tomb for a week. Qin Ming was worried and came down to look for you.”
Chu Luo nodded and opened her palm to treat Qin Ming with the power of a priestess dozens of centimeters away.
Looking at the countless light spots entering Qin Ming’s body, Anya was so shocked that she forgot to react.
It wasn’t until she saw Qin Ming’s exposed skin slowly turn into a normal color that Anya suddenly came back to her senses. She said in admiration and disbelief, “Chu, you actually have such powerful abilities.”
Chu Luo glanced at her but didn’t explain. She only said, “You can take off your mask.”
Anya was wearing a gas mask that covered her entire face. Chu Luo didn’t want to face such an ugly thing.
When Anya heard this, she immediately took off her mask.
Then, she seemed to have remembered something and asked, “Chu, Blockhead said that the air here is poisonous. Was the medicine you gave me just now an antidote?”
“Mm.”
Anya heaved a sigh of relief and immediately attracted Chu Luo’s attention. “Isn’t it a little too late to ask now?”
Anya smiled at her. “I believe you won’t harm me.”
Chu Luo glanced at her. After removing all of Qin Ming’s poison, she stood up.
Anya quickly asked, “Has Blockhead recovered? Why isn’t he awake?”
“There has to be a process. Why are you in a hurry?” Chu Luo asked her. “Why did you come here?”
“I…” Anya blushed before saying, “When I went back, I saw that my mother’s condition wasn’t serious so I only accompanied her for two days. I was really worried about Blockhead, so I took a plane here. ”
“How did you enter the desert?”
“I brought many bodyguards. Moreover, I hired a very powerful tour guide at a high price.”
“Have you encountered anything after entering the desert?”
“No. Other than the terrifying sounds that appeared in the stone forest at night and gave me insomnia, I didn’t encounter anything along the way.”
Chu Luo was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Looks like you’re quite lucky.”
Anya thought so too. “At that time, the guide even said that we would encounter terrible weather in the desert anytime. I even asked my bodyguards to prepare a lot of things.”
“How did you find this lake?”
“We met two guides at the ancient ruins of the Loulan Kingdom. The guide I hired is very familiar with them. They brought us here.”
Chu Luo nodded and didn’t ask further.
Anya continued, sounding a little smug. “When I came, I happened to see Blockhead leading a group of people in the fight with another group of people. Luckily, I brought a lot of people this time and quickly dealt with those people.”
Chu Luo thought for a while and asked, “How long after we entered the tomb did you guys come down?”
“Blockhead said that you’ve been down for a week. He was afraid that something would happen to you, so we came down… We must have stayed in the ancient tomb for two to three days.”
Chu Luo didn’t believe that Qin Ming would let Anya go to the tomb, but she didn’t ask about this matter. She only wanted to know where those missing robots went.
The three of them waited for a while before Qin Ming finally woke up.
When he saw the three people in front of him, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Master, Miss Chu, it’s good that you’re fine.”
Hearing this, Anya, who was standing at the side, was displeased. “Blockhead, you almost died yourself. Why don’t you care about yourself first!”
Qin Ming tilted his head and looked at her.
Chu Luo took out a bucket of water from her Heaven-and-Earth pouch and said, “Drink some water first before washing off the things on your face and hands.”
Qin Ming nodded and sat up.
Worried that he was weak at this moment, Anya quickly stopped him. “Blockhead, don’t move. I’ll help you wash it.”
After saying that, she went over to help him up. After letting him lean on her, she asked Chu Luo, “Chu, do you have a cup? This bucket is too big. How is Blockhead going to drink from this?”
Chu Luo conjured up a cup for her using magic. With a snap of her fingers, the bucket floated to Anya’s side. When Anya picked up the cup, the bucket automatically opened and tilted.
After filling the cup, the water bucket returned to the ground.
Anya handed Qin Ming a glass of water. “Blockhead, drink some water.”
Qin Ming looked at Anya’s dry lips and said with an expressionless face, “You drink first.”
When Anya heard this, the corners of her lips curled up. She didn’t delay and drank half of the water before giving the other half to Qin Ming.
After Qin Ming drank, Anya asked Chu Luo to pour another glass of water.
She then asked Chu Luo to conjure up a handkerchief for her and seriously wiped Qin Ming’s face.
As she wiped, she said to him, “You’re really a blockhead. Who asked you to help me block all the worms?”
Her tone was filled with sweetness.
However, Qin Ming didn’t know how to flirt. He replied, “I didn’t want to escape while having to carry the unconscious you.”
Anya: “…”
“Pfft…”
Looking at Anya’s expression, Chu Luo couldn’t help but look away as if she was studying this stone room.
Li Yan looked at Qin Ming and asked, “Can you get up and walk?”
Qin Ming nodded and propped himself up from the ground.
Anya, who was about to help him up: “…”
What happened to being weak?
Couldn’t that darned Blockhead pretend for a while more!
The four of them left the tomb.
Qin Ming told the two of them about his experience. “After you entered the tomb, a few more batches of people came. I brought some people to block a portion of them, but a few batches of people still went down.”
Chu Luo thought of Neeson’s missing robots and asked, “Have you seen robots in the tomb?”
“Yes.”
Qin Ming said, “I’ve only seen them once. At that time, a few foreigners were being chased by a very powerful dumpling. The robots saved them.”
Hearing this, Chu Luo snorted. “These people must still have designs on the legendary jewelry and divine herbs. They should be going to the main tomb.”
Qin Ming asked, “Where did Master and Miss Chu come from?”
“The main tomb,” Li Yan said. “It’s very difficult for others to find that place.”
Even if they found the door, they couldn’t enter.
So Chu Luo and Li Yan weren’t worried at all.
“Let’s leave the tomb first.. If those people want to stay here, they can stay here forever.”
