188: Sword Tomb! A Pit of Corpses!

The Great Wall.

Near the cliffs of Beibalou, four figures stood isolated and helpless.

A cool breeze blew... Although there was shade, it wasn't hot, and they could overlook the magnificent landscape... Unfortunately, the four showed no sign of happiness.

Their faces were etched with bitter smiles.

Fatty Wang Fan's legs trembled: "Director Deng, when will the Rescue Team arrive?"

"We won't die here today, will we?"

Now, he was vaguely starting to regret it.

Why did he insist on following Brother Su's "best shortcut"?

Yes... for Brother Su, it was the best shortcut.

But for the rest of them?

It was nothing short of a dead end!

Hearing this, Deng Zhiyong's lips twitched: "It should be soon, right?"

"Old Ding, are you alright? How do you feel?"

Ding Jian, the Deputy Director of the Security Bureau, who was at the very back, was already drenched in sweat.

Ding Jian forced a smile: "It's f***ing thrilling..."

"It's thrilling me to death!"

It had been many years; this was probably the closest he had ever come to death!

Officer Hong was half-lying on the cliff, not daring to move.

He looked up, gazing upwards... "Brother Su Yun is truly amazing; he's completely out of sight!"

"He didn't fall, did he?" Deng Zhiyong asked subconsciously.

Click, click, click... No sooner had he spoken.

The Rescue Team, equipped with special tools and fully geared, appeared.

"Hold on! Persistence is victory!"

"Don't move! Your current posture is very safe!"

"Give us one minute! We'll be there right away!"

The Rescue Team members were puzzled as to why the four were there.

Despite their internal complaints, they remained professional out of duty... until the professional ropes were secured to the four, ensuring 100% safety.

The Rescue Team members breathed heavily... and joked: "I say, what were you four thinking?"

"Climbing the Great Wall isn't done this way, is it? Do you want to die?"

"Is this a lovers' suicide? Challenging yourselves? Challenging limits?"

"This is a cliff, didn't you know?"

They lectured the four relentlessly.

Let alone ordinary people.

Even for their Rescue Team, the journey here... made their heads spin.

They never imagined: someone would climb a cliff?

If you're going to climb, at least bring some tools, right?

Deng Zhiyong and the other three were speechless.

It was good enough to be alive.

Fatty Wang Fan pointed upwards: "Comrades, there's still one more up there..."

"I don't even know if My Brother has reached the top yet!"

"What!???"

"There's still someone up there!?"

The Rescue Team members were stunned!

If their current position was at the bottom of the cliff... then above, it was a cliff almost 90 degrees!

There could be someone up there!?

Are they crazy!?

The Rescue Team Captain said with a bitter face: "Alright! I'll figure out a way to rescue him!"

He personally led a few agile and skilled team members to climb up.

As for Deng Zhiyong and the other three, they were taken back... sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

Meanwhile, on the other side.

After entering the pitch-black cave.

Su Yun discovered... the camera signal and phone signal were very poor!

The livestream room screen flickered, almost indistinguishable from a black screen!

— [Holy crap!? What's happening!?]

— [Did My Brother Su use an illusion? He doesn't want me to watch the livestream room?]

— [How about it? I told you there's a female ghost in the cave... I bet Brother Su is dead by now!]

— [Stop talking nonsense, maybe there are bats inside...]

— [Then Brother Su is going to become Batman, right?]

— [What are Batman's superpowers? Answer: Money! Cash power!]

— [What exactly is in there? Is it an atomic bomb? I've got my underwear ready!]

— [If you don't show me, I'll cry!]

In the livestream room, hundreds of millions of fans' comments poured in endlessly.

The fans were in an uproar.

But on Su Yun's side... he was already numb.

He stared intently at the shocking scene before him.

He swore... he had never seen so many swords in his life!

Yes... before him, there was a deep pit formed by accumulatedgravel... and inside the pit, there were countless cold weapons, one after another, stretching endlessly!

Sword Tomb!?

This was the first thought that popped into Su Yun's mind.

He squatted down and casually pulled one out... From the forging craftsmanship, these cold weapons were ancient... antiques! And they were antiques again!

Last time, it was a Qin Dynasty Ancient Tomb, an Emperor's Tomb!

This time... it was a Sword Tomb!

Or rather... a very large cold weapon storage cave!

"Awoo awoo!"

Chang Wei, nestled in his pocket, kept howling in a certain direction, looking very excited.

"Little fellow, what have you found again?"

Su Yun rubbed Chang Wei's small head.

He found that Chang Wei had a very sensitive nose.

Following the direction the Little fellow was howling.

Su Yun continued to explore deeper... Crack!

The crisp sound of something breaking under his feet made his nerves tense.

He lowered his head, shining his light... "Holy crap..."

A cold wind swept over.

Su Yun almost cursed: "Sorry, sorry! My apologies!"

A skull!

He accidentally stepped on and crushed a skull... He looked up, shining his light casually inside!

Hiss!

Su Yun gasped sharply... "This is..."

Before him was another deep pit formed by accumulatedgravel.

Unlike the Sword Tomb... this deep pit was filled entirely with white bones... skulls! Leg bones, ribs... piled up like mountains!

"What the heck is this place?"

Su Yun felt a chill down his spine.

He hadn't found any martial arts manuals, but he had found a pile of white bones... and that deep pit of ancient swords... "No, I have to find a way out."

The cave was very dark and well-sealed.

Staying too long could lead to suffocation.

Su Yun walked towards the outside of the cave... "Help me..."

"Someone save us..."

"Captain, we won't die here today, will we?"

"In this godforsaken place, if we die, our bodies might not even be intact, right?"

"No signal for communication, we can't contact the outside world."

Not far from the cave.

On the cliff... three figures were unexpectedly hanging in the crevices of the rocks.

Two highly skilled and agile rescue personnel were on the verge of tears.

Even their Captain was helplessly stuck, unable to advance or retreat... The three never imagined: they came here fine, but couldn't go back...

"Cough, cough, cough..."

"I say, you three."

"Stop shouting, no one will come to save you even if you shout until your voices break!"

Huh!?

Where did that voice come from!?

The three, already terrified, suddenly heard a voice from above.

They looked up with extreme difficulty... Under the dazzling sunlight.

A handsome face with delicate features and a smiling expression came into view.

Holy crap! I'm seeing a ghost!

The Rescue Team Captain exclaimed: "Who are you?"

"Why are you here!?"

"Are you a human or a ghost!?"
