373: In an emergency, I encountered a fellow traveler.
The three of them hurriedly ran out of the Passage holding the Crystal Skull and the Sheepskin Scroll. Stones kept falling behind them, and the raised dust filled the air, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi didn't care about their image at this moment and ran in a disheveled state. Yang Mi lost one of her high-heeled shoes in the panic.
But she didn't have time to pick it up; she just followed Ye Bai closely.
In the Live Stream Room, the bullet comments surged like a tide.
"My god, this is too exciting! It feels like watching a blockbuster movie!"
"I hope they can get out safely. What would happen if something went wrong!"
As for the Archaeologists, who were already staring tensely at the screen, their heartbeats accelerated even more.
A young archaeologist couldn't help but say, "This situation is too dangerous. Once the Ancient Tomb collapses, the cultural relics inside will be destroyed, and their lives are also in danger."
An old archaeologist frowned, his eyes full of worry: "This Ye Bai, although very capable, this situation is beyond our imagination. I hope he can use his experience to lead everyone out."
Ye Bai and the others finally ran to the Treasury, but the Treasury was also teetering at this moment.
Some of the gold and silver jewelry had been damaged under the impact of the falling stones.
"Run toward the Stone Door!" Ye Bai shouted, and they dashed in the direction of the Stone Door.
Just as they were about to reach the Stone Door, a huge stone gate suddenly dropped from above, blocking their path.
"What do we do?" Meng Ziyi asked with a sob in her voice, her face covered in dust and her hair a bit messy.
Ye Bai looked around calmly and discovered a narrow hole nearby, which seemed to be a Passage he hadn't noticed before.
"Go this way!" Ye Bai said, crawling toward the hole first.
Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi gritted their teeth and followed him inside.
In the Live Stream Room, the viewers were all on the edge of their seats for them.
"This hole looks so dangerous; I don't know where it leads."
"Ye Bai must protect the two beauties!"
The Archaeologists were discussing the possibilities of this hole.
"This hole doesn't look like a main Passage; perhaps it was an escape route reserved by the craftsmen when the Ancient Tomb was built."
"I hope so, otherwise they really are in danger."
Ye Bai and the others crawled with difficulty through the narrow Passage. It was dark and damp inside, and some unknown small insects were wriggling about.
"Ah!" Meng Ziyi suddenly screamed: "An insect crawled onto me!"
Yang Mi was also pale with fright. Ye Bai looked back and brushed the insect off Meng Ziyi with his hand.
He whispered, "Don't make a sound, keep quiet. We don't know if there are other dangers here."
Meng Ziyi held back her tears and nodded.
After a difficult crawl, they finally saw a glimmer of light ahead.
"There's an exit!" Yang Mi cried out in surprise.
Ye Bai raised an eyebrow; that might not necessarily be an exit.
Because he vaguely heard gunshots, screams, and... roars.
That kind of sound was like the wailing of evil ghosts from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds, full of cruelty and terror.
Yang Mi obviously heard the sound too, and she shuddered.
Ye Bai patted her shoulder, signaling that he was fine.
Yang Mi looked at Ye Bai with both fear and gratitude. If it hadn't been for Ye Bai just now, she and Meng Ziyi would surely have died in this Passage.
Meng Ziyi was relatively timid; she curled her body against the wall, trying to minimize her presence.
The three continued moving forward.
Suddenly, Ye Bai stopped in his tracks.
Yang Mi looked at him in confusion; Ye Bai's expression had become solemn.
"Do you hear any sound?"
"No, I didn't hear anything," Yang Mi said.
"Yeah, I didn't hear anything either," Meng Ziyi also replied.
"How about you? Ye Bai," Yang Mi looked at Ye Bai again.
"I..." Ye Bai hesitated for a second: "I think I heard it."
"It sounds like someone is screaming in pain."
These words made goosebumps rise all over the two women. They immediately pointed their flashlights at the source of the sound and indeed found a pitch-black Passage, where bursts of eerie cries for help were ringing out.
Meng Ziyi swallowed: "This... could it be those Tomb Robbers?"
"Where are they?" Yang Mi asked anxiously.
Ye Bai squinted his eyes, listening carefully to the cries for help.
"Those things seem to be not far ahead!" Ye Bai said in a deep voice.
"Then let's hurry over there. Don't wait any longer. What if those things attack us?" Meng Ziyi urged.
"You don't understand." Yang Mi shook her head: "This Passage shouldn't be simple, otherwise it would have collapsed long ago. We'd better wait a while."
She did have a point, but Ye Bai was feeling a bit irritable at this time.
His Live Stream Room had already boiled over—
"Damn, what kind of ghost place is this? Why is it so dark!"
"Holy crap, I almost peed myself!"
"I thought something happened to Ye Bai and the others, but they're just lost?"
"Whatever, I only care about the goddesses' safety!"
"Upstairs +1, it's fine if Ye Bai is a guy, just hope he doesn't kick the bucket!"
"Go Ye Bai! The goddesses are in your hands!"
Just as the bullet comments were frantically flooding the screen, suddenly, the entire world fell into pitch darkness.
"Ah... what's going on?" Meng Ziyi screamed out.
Ye Bai grabbed Meng Ziyi's arm and said in a deep voice, "Don't panic, shut up!"
"Ah!" Suddenly, a tragic hiss pierced the air, shaking people's hearts.
Meng Ziyi's legs went weak with fright, and she sat directly on the ground.
Yang Mi was also pale with fright, her arms tightly hugging Ye Bai.
"What's wrong? Why is there the sound of a wild beast?"
"Who's screaming? Who?"
"Is it that bunch of Tomb Robbers looking for us?"
"It's over, it's over. We must have encountered a Corpse!"
"We're finished this time!"
All the viewers began to feel despair.
Ye Bai didn't say a word; he took Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi's hands and slowly felt his way forward.
"Don't make a sound."
Meng Ziyi covered her mouth, trying hard to control her screams.
Just as Ye Bai and the others reached the corner, the sound stopped abruptly.
Meng Ziyi breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her head and, with the help of the dim light, saw the scene before her clearly.
It was a spacious and bright room, filled with many Antiques and porcelains that looked very valuable.
In addition, there were various strange-looking weapons, as well as some Ancient Books and paintings.
"Brother Ye Bai, there's actually an Ancient Tomb here!" Meng Ziyi said joyfully.
However, just as she turned around to tell the others, she discovered that the three of them had disappeared!
Meng Ziyi's eyes widened instantly. She looked around and found that Ye Bai, Yang Mi, and Meng Ziyi were all gone.
She was terrified and quickly ran toward the door, only to be blocked by iron bars, unable to leave this underground Mausoleum.
Meng Ziyi crouched by the door, desperately banging on the iron bars, trying to attract the attention of others.
