Chapter 63: No Return, Never See the Light of Day
"Hey, what are you eating secretly? Give me one too."
"Vitamins." Wu Xie looked up at the fat man, swallowed the medicine as if nothing had happened, and then put it in his pocket.
Wu Suowei took out another bottle of water from his bag and handed it to Wu Xie.
"Don't lie." The fat man said confidently, "I know what you eat."
This sentence immediately scared Wu Xie, and his heart skipped a beat.
Everyone in the crew knew that there was something wrong with Wu Xie’s lungs, except Fatty himself.
Wu Xie looked at Fatty with a guilty conscience. If Fatty knew about this, it would be troublesome.
Wu Suowei glanced at Wu Xie and nodded at him.
"Fatty, didn't Wu Xie get caught in the rain? He has a cold and a cough, and he hasn't recovered yet. He rushed into the underground palace of the King of the South Sea, and we have been going back and forth in this underground palace. So his physical condition is not as good as before,
Hey, Fatty, I remember you said, "Let him get some fix, but you exposed him." Wu Suowei was also talking nonsense.
Fatty suddenly understood what was going on and should have some impression of it. Then he said to Wu Xie with a sly grin.
"A small pill to replenish your energy, isn't it? Hey, old man, this man is old. It's been raining for so long, but he hasn't gotten better. Xiao Wuzi, look at your boss, he actually lives on science."
Wu Suowei also smiled after hearing what the fat man said. This fat man is simply the king of golden sentences.
A real mascot.
"Look, I'm a few years older than Tian Zhen, but I have no problem with my physical strength. I can walk a few more times without any problem. Xiao Wuzi is the youngest in our team, so he must have no problem with his physical strength. Brother, you're not tired either, are you?"
The young man's face was expressionless and a little stiff. However, he usually had this expression, and the fat man didn't suspect anything.
"Fatty, you said that we should respect the old and love the young. I'm so young, did you carry me on your back?" Wu Suowei looked at the fat man and started to act naughty again.
"Get out of here, you are the most useless person here. Xiao Wuzi, your fat grandpa is old, shouldn't you carry me on your back? After all, you are the youngest, you should respect the elderly." The fat man looked at him and said.
Wu Suowei ignored the fat man.
"Hey, where is that grandson? Is he dead?" the fat man said to everyone.
Everyone knows it was Liu Sang.
Perhaps Wu Suowei ignored him and tried to find something to say, or perhaps he asked the question because he noticed that he had not seen Liu Sang along the way.
"He's following us. He can hear sounds hundreds of meters away, so he can't get lost. Right, brother?" Wu Suowei said to the brother.
Wu Suowei just heard Liu Sang's whistle, and followed them while blowing the whistle to locate the structure of the underground palace. Although Fatty openly disliked him, he was invited by Wu Erbai. It was still okay to accompany Fatty to make noises.
The key is to have Liu Sang’s sonar, which is also pretty good.
"He's following behind. He won't dare to come over for a while." The young man said to the fat man.
"If he dares to come over here, I'll strangle him to death."
"Okay, let's go. This path is outside the structure. If we follow this path, we will find the main hall." Wu Suowei looked at them and said.
"It's better not to take this road." The young man usually doesn't talk much, but when he said this, it meant there was danger.
"Yes, this road is not repaired, which is not in line with common sense."
The rock walls and roads here are no longer as neat as when we came here, and they look like they have not been repaired.
"This road is unlucky and somewhat dangerous. Generally, in an underground palace, the work would not be stopped when the corridor is halfway repaired." The young man said expressionlessly.
"Brother." Wu Suowei patted the brother's shoulder. "You can't say the word 'danger'. Who are you? The ceiling of the tomb-robbing martial arts world. But, Wu Xie, you decide."
"Never mind, let's go." Wu Xie stood up and left.
Wu Suowei and the little brother followed.
"You are really tough. Hey, are you just leaving like this? Then what should I be afraid of?" The fat man has never been afraid.
Yes, there is a big brother in the tomb-robbing world, and Wu Suowei who has the same skills as the little brother. I am not a vegetarian either, so the fat man really doesn't need to be afraid.
All the rock walls in this tomb passage are bumpy, which is obviously completely different from the regular tomb passage outside.
I don’t know what the mentality of the people who built this tomb passage was, who deliberately built an unrepaired road in this place.
Because it was damp and dim, there was a lot of green moss on the rock walls, which reflected the flashlight and made the entire tomb passage glow with a faint green light.
Wu Suowei was looking around in front, waving his flashlight, and from time to time he would come across a few white bones that looked like they would break if touched.
In this way, the few of them passed a fork in the corridor.
"Hey, do you think this is the path to the underworld? Aa ...
Wu Suowei suddenly howled. The young man had said that the road was dangerous, but then he let out this howl.
How come the originally heavy atmosphere became as joyful as a pony?
"Fuck, Xiao Wuzi. You are here, can you please stop being silly? You almost sent your fat uncle away with that shout.
Fatty is always at the forefront of the conversation.
"Haha, with Little Wu and Fatty, our team is always so happy." Wu Xie said with a smile.
"We're almost there. There's a tombstone ahead. Everyone, be alert and be careful." The tomb passage was not too long. Wu Suowei, who was walking in front, quickly reached the tombstone at the end of the passage and shouted to the people behind him.
When they heard that they had finally come out of their endless circles, they all came forward to check out the tombstone at the end. Wu Xie went forward and went around to the back of the tombstone to read the inscription word by word.
The inscription on it is still in the mainstream font of the Han Dynasty, Lishu, which is simple and solemn.
"Go forward more than a hundred miles, and those who enter will never return, and will never see the light of day again."
It's a hint, or maybe a curse.
"Wow, there's another stele here. Did they dig something out of this place before? That's why the tunnel is not finished. It will never see the light of day. Is this really the underworld?"
When the fat man heard the inscription, he immediately started muttering.
Wu Xie looked at the road behind the tombstone and asked thoughtfully:
"Fatty, do you believe it?"
"If you came with someone else, I would definitely not believe it. But since you are the one who came with me, I have to believe it. You are such an evil person. Besides, Xiao Wuzi just said that this is the road leading to the underworld, and this road has been cleared by you two. Tian Zhen, your motto is that if the coffin is opened, the corpse will rise again." After the fat man finished speaking, he imitated the eerie cry of a ghost.
"You fat guy, if you want to talk about Wu Xie, just say Wu Xie. Why bring me along? Damn it, if there is a ghost, I will feed you to it first." Wu Suowei glanced at the fat man.
"Damn it, no matter it is a ghost or a zongzi, I will blow it up. My explosives are not vegetarian." The fat man said fiercely.
"Alright, alright. Let's go. Believe it or not, there's no way out. Why bother about this?"
After passing the stone tablet, a deep and secluded cave entrance appeared before everyone.
The entrance to the cave is very narrow and can only be entered by crawling.
"There's a hole here, it looks like it's natural." The fat man said, looking at the hole.
The hole was neither big nor small, so they could only crawl in. Wu Suowei, Wu Xie and Xiao Ge had no problem crawling in, as the hole seemed to be designed for Fatty.
Wu Xie stepped forward to observe, then said: "Yes, the hole is natural, formed by bubbles in the magma, sometimes it can spread hundreds of kilometers in the earth's crust."
"Xiao Wuzi, why are they so afraid of a hole?"
The fat man turned to look at Wu Suowei and asked puzzledly.
"Maybe someone went in and couldn't get out, so they erected this monument to warn those who come after him." Wu Suowei turned his head to look at the tombstone and expressed his speculation.
"Why shouldn't I believe it? If there wasn't this monument, I wouldn't be sure that the exit is behind here." The fat man became more curious about the cave in front of him.
The fat man said with certainty: "This must be the way the craftsmen back then left for themselves."
When everyone thought about it, it really seemed to be the case.
"Then let's keep moving forward?" Wu Xie said, looking at them.
There is no other way now but to crawl forward, but the order is a problem, who is in front and who is behind.
"I'll go and lead the way, the little brother will provide cover, Xiao Wuzi will be in the middle, and you will cover the rear." The fat man had a clear division of labor and made their positions clear.
Although the fat guy is usually careless, he will still rush forward for his brothers at critical moments.
After all, the road ahead is unknown, and the unknown represents danger. It was precisely because of this that he stood up.
"Come out, come out." Wu Xie immediately grabbed him and said, "You are so fat, what if you get stuck inside? Then we will be stuck here."
Wu Xie also thought of this and he also wanted to take the lead.
"Fatty, you are so fat and you just ate so much. If you take the lead and you fart, we will all be in trouble. Wu Xie, your illness is not cured yet. If something happens ahead, we may not be able to save you. So, I will take the lead." Wu Suowei also joined in.
After a heated discussion, the final decision was made.
Wu Suowei was leading the way, followed by Brother, then Wu Xie, and Fatty was at the back.
This arrangement is also well thought out. The person at the front may face some dangers, so he must be a strong person.
Originally, I wanted the younger brother to lead the charge, but Wu Suowei saw that the two of them were arguing endlessly, so he stepped forward first. However, everyone knew his strength, so they didn't say anything.
Of course, if Wu Suowei encounters unmatched danger, the little brother will step in immediately.
Although the cave is narrow, with the young man's ability to shrink his bones, he can quickly respond to any situation and help Wu Suowei.
The last person is the fat man.
If there is danger and the fat guy is the first one, if they fail to react in time, everyone will be in a passive position. This is why the fat guy is the last one, because it gives him more time to react when there is danger.
The safest one is of course Wu Xie in the middle.
Except for Fatty's unilateral disagreement, Wu Xie and Brother both agreed with Wu Suowei's statement.
"Let's go." Wu Suowei stretched his body and went into the cave. Then, it was Brother, Wu Xie and Fatty.
