83: Chapter 83 Captain! If I could, I'd like to go home...

At this moment, everyone held their breath.

The four Bodyguard Team members fleeing frantically beneath the tomb also realized that the Ancient Corpse was closing in again.

An unprecedented power suddenly filled their limbs and bones.

They unleashed unparalleled strength and sprinted forward a few more steps.

A short distance of several dozen meters, taking only a few seconds.

At this moment, in the eyes of the Bodyguard Team, it felt like an insurmountable chasm.

They had never felt this distance of several dozen meters to be so far away.

And these few seconds, so long.

Because even with their adrenaline surging, they had only managed to put less than a meter of distance between themselves and the Ancient Corpse.

Moreover, the Ancient Corpse behind them showed no signs of slowing down as it rushed toward them.

The long spear in its hand had already pierced through the darkness, flying rapidly toward the group.

In the blink of an eye, this long spear would decapitate the bodyguard at the very back.

The audience in the Live Stream Room, witnessing this sudden scene, couldn't help but freeze.

When they snapped back to reality, the Live Stream Room was filled with despair!

"It's over! It's really over this time! Is someone going to sacrifice themselves again?"

"Damn it, why is this Ancient Corpse sticking to them? Shake it off!"

"Oh no! Its long spear is thrown again! It's over, it's over! It's really over!"

"No!!!"

"Run, run, run!"

At this moment, the audience in the Live Stream Room clenched their fists and roared.

But... this bodyguard did not have the luck of the Bodyguard Team Captain.

He sensed the arrival of the long spear, but he had no time to react.

Flowers fall silently!

Blood sprayed!

He didn't even have time to scream, and his running motion came to an abrupt halt.

Until his head rolled onto the ground, it seemed he could still see a headless corpse... spraying blood.

Seeing this scene, everyone's heart contracted violently, and their pupils dilated suddenly.

Their breathing involuntarily stopped.

The Archaeological Team members standing at the end of the corridor would have long since scattered like birds and beasts had Ye Xiao not warned them not to move.

Running away like headless flies.

But seeing this scene before them, the hearts of the Archaeological Team members trembled violently.

Their eyes instantly turned red.

The number of people fleeing had dropped from four to three.

The remaining Bodyguard Team Captain, the Burly Man, and another bodyguard were still struggling to flee.

But they knew clearly what had happened behind them.

There were no roars, and no one stopped to risk their lives against the Ancient Corpse.

Perhaps the moment they decided to enter this industry, they had already anticipated this outcome.

Therefore, in the corridor, there were only silent tears.

The three fleeing bodyguards only realized that the corridor in front of them seemed to be getting blurrier.

Without a word, everyone just buried their heads and sprinted, their pace quickening even more.

But as the dense "thump, thump, thump" of footsteps became clearer.

They knew the Ancient Corpse was getting closer and closer to them!

And just then, a few meters in front of the fleeing Bodyguard Team, a bluestone wall quietly extended from the adjacent wall.

Seeing this, whether it was the experts at the Symposium or the audience in the Live Stream Room.

Everyone couldn't help but stand up, their eyes fixed intently on the three figures sprinting desperately on the Live Stream Room screen.

If one were close to them, one could clearly hear it. Almost everyone clenched their palms and gritted their teeth, murmuring:

"Faster, a little faster..."

And when Ye Xiao saw this stone wall, he couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The appearance of this bluestone wall was, of course, within Ye Xiao's calculations.

However, because he was not inside the array, Ye Xiao's prediction of the Bagua Array's changes had not reached the point of 100% accuracy.

So, Ye Xiao could be considered to be gambling.

However, he won the bet.

They only needed the Bodyguard Team Captain and the other two to successfully enter this door before it closed.

Then, they could isolate the Ancient Corpse behind this door.

At that time, Ye Xiao could use a small trick to use the changes of the Bagua Array to trap this Ancient Corpse for a period of time.

By then, the Archaeological Team would no longer be affected by the Ancient Corpse and could quickly leave this Bagua Array.

However, Ye Xiao's idea was good. But... reality was extremely harsh.

The door ahead was about to close, and although it would not be difficult for the Bodyguard Team to enter before it closed.

But the Ancient Corpse was following too closely.

They could not guarantee that, given the speed of the Ancient Corpse, it wouldn't follow behind the three of them and pass through this bluestone wall together.

Once the Ancient Corpse successfully passed through this wall, the consequences... would be unimaginable.

No one dared to gamble so many lives on an outcome with such slim hope.

The reason Ye Xiao dared to was because he had too much certainty in his hands. But they did not!

So, for a moment, the audience seeing this scene couldn't help but feel a bit desperate!

"Why, why can't we shake off this Ancient Corpse!"

"It's over, if the Ancient Corpse follows them through this wall, everyone will be finished!"

"What should we do now? What on earth should we do? Can someone come out and say something! What should we do?"

"It's useless to rely on anyone now, they can only rely on themselves! This door is the last and only hope Ye Xiao left for them!"

"But at this speed, if they can't shake off the Ancient Corpse, it will most likely follow them into this door!"

"Could it be... that it's really over this time?"

The audience was heartbroken, and the atmosphere of despair in the Live Stream Room spread wildly.

In the Seminar Hall, many experts' hands had already turned purple from clenching, yet they felt nothing at all.

Their eyes were wide and red, but their gaze... was somewhat dim.

Because they, too, had caught a scent of despair.

However, they still believed in hope and were constantly cheering for the three.

In their hearts, they were also praying frantically, hoping for a miracle to descend.

However, they were disappointed.

The Goddess of Miracles does not stand by their side every time. This time, she did not appear.

The Ancient Corpse kept chasing the three of them closely. Even when they reached this door, they were only about a meter or so apart.

And this wall had only closed halfway.

At this moment, thick despair spread wildly in everyone's hearts. Everyone's heart turned ash-gray.

Once this Ancient Corpse passed through this door, it could slaughter without restraint. At that time, no one would be able to stop it.

They could only wait to be slaughtered. It seemed... the fate of the Archaeological Team was about to end here.

However, just then, the bodyguard at the back turned his head and saw the Ancient Corpse still in hot pursuit.

Without a word, he stopped his footsteps...

Immediately after, he turned around resolutely, facing the terrifying and brutal Ancient Corpse behind him alone.

At this moment, his back looked just like Zhang Yide before Changban Slope.

His heart was full of heroism, as if "one man holds the pass, ten thousand cannot open it," making his inner heart surge.

There were no grand words, only a carefree smile, and... a small wish.

"Captain! If possible, I want to go home..."
