At that moment, the coffin that had been embedded in place was opened by the rushing river water, revealing a swirling vortex created by the countless waves. Mu Xuanche leaned against Bai Qiling, catching his breath as he said, "I feel like the spiritual energy in my body is quickly returning."
Bai Qiling nodded, clenching his fist, clearly sensing that the energy he had just lost was coming back to him.
Mu Xuanche stood up, the color returning to his face. He straightened up and took the Ghost Seal from my hands to examine it closely before tucking it away. He placed his knife back into the Scabbard. I watched as torrents of water broke through the top of the tunnel and gradually surged into my chest.
Yan Shengwei smiled and said, "It seems we have no choice but to leave it to fate."
"You go first," Bai Qiling gestured to Yan Shengwei, clearly indicating that he should jump down first.
Yan Shengwei's face fell as he pouted, taking a deep breath. Without further hesitation, he dove into the vortex beneath the coffin. As Yan Shengwei's figure disappeared, Mu Xuanche suddenly grabbed my hand, his voice filled with concern and tenderness. "Are you okay?"
I felt a warmth in my heart and nodded firmly in response. "I will be fine."
Then I plunged into the vortex as well, the dark green depths of the water rushing towards me once more.
I held my breath and heard Yan Shengwei's voice fading into the distance ahead. It should be enough to dive straight down. Two splashes sounded behind me.
Turning around, I saw Mu Xuanche and Bai Qiling emerging from a hole in the mud, swimming towards me. I realized that despite just crawling out of a pile of muck, I felt no dissatisfaction at all; I was simply grateful to be alive.
Thinking back to the moment when the Corpse King emerged from the coffin and how I would never forget having hair stuffed into my mouth and nose made me shudder! Escaping was such a relief.
In the water, Mu Xuanche seemed even more handsome than before, gradually swimming to my side. A weight lifted off my heart as I grasped his sleeve and followed Yan Shengwei towards the light.
I didn't know how long it had been; it felt like the water's surface had no end. I began to struggle for breath as river water surged into my nose. Yan Shengwei had already vanished from sight.
Suddenly, I spotted a flickering light not far away, resembling a flashlight's beam—blinking as if guiding us toward it.
Mu Xuanche pulled me along swiftly toward it. Suddenly, everything brightened as the dark water plants parted before us. With a sense of relief washing over me, my feet found solid ground, and my body gradually stabilized from its previous buoyancy.
MuXuanche caressed the Bronze Pillar and fell down. I came back to my senses and found that I was stepping on the Bronze Corridor where I came from. My eyes widened immediately, and I found that Yan Shengwei had put on his equipment and was waiting for me at the same spot, and Bai Qiling also started to carry the Oxygen Tube that he had originally thrown on the spot. "Wait...wait a minute! What is going on? Why are you back to the starting point?" I felt unbelievable. Was this playing a trick on me? Repeatedly, I couldn't help but wonder if it was just a dream I had. But the two scars on my hands really reminded me that what happened just now did happen. "I found that this tomb particularly likes to use confusing methods to cover up their Tomb." "For example, the three mazes we encountered at the beginning seemed to be impossible to escape, and now, it seems that you can't find a way out after swimming for a long time. Swim up to the River Surface. In the end you will come back to where you started. We have fallen into their maze, and we have to find an unusual way to escape." Yan Shengwei. "What does that mean?" I asked. He didn't say anything, he just asked me to put my gear on. I followed my instructions and carried the equipment. Yan Shengwei nodded and said: "The so-called end point is also the origin point, and the origin point is also the end point. If the origin point becomes the end point, then the end point at the beginning must be the origin point." He closed his eyes and let us hold the hem of his clothes. Don't let go. I nodded. Yan Shengwei turned around and walked towards the depths of Bronze Corridor. The blue flame flickered on the candlestick as it had at first. Yan ShengweiClose your eyes and walk completely on your own subconscious. I don’t know how long it took, but the gate gradually appeared in front of me again. But Yan Shengwei didn’t stop, but hit him all at once. I was about to shout a reminder, but Mu Xuanche used his eyes to signal me to stop. At this time, the door just now twisted and changed, and gradually disappeared like water, moon and mirror flowers. I glanced at Bai Qiling in surprise, and he responded with his eyes to tell me that my guess was correct. This is indeed Illusion. An endless Illusion that seems to have no end or ending. At this time, the water pressure gradually reached the top of my head. The oxygen inside Oxygen Tank filled my chest with a lot of air. Yan Shengwei opened his eyes and looked happy, knowing that he had walked out of Illusion, and gave us a thumbs up to express everything. We returned along the same path, and this time we really swam towards the bright spot. I don't know how long we swam, and then with a "pop" sound, River Surface popped up in our heads. Looking up at the blue sea in front of us, I felt as if I had walked out of the depths of hell, and let out a long sigh. Because I was so happy, I even jumped into the water and flipped over, although I was too embarrassed to flip over...
"Ugh!" Something is pulling at my foot!!
I sink quickly, my mind a chaotic mess. The Tomb Owner and the Zongzi have been eliminated, so could there be Sea Monkeys or water ghosts down here?
But there’s no time to think. I descend rapidly, relieved that my Oxygen Tank is still securely strapped to my back, preventing me from suffocating.
I can even hear Mu Xuanche calling for me, but slowly, the light I can see diminishes more and more until I sink back to the spot we just emerged from.
The dark, cold riverbed completely engulfs me, and in this silent, terrifying place, I lose all consciousness...
I don’t know how long it’s been when I finally wake up. I find myself bound to a stone pillar. My Oxygen Tank and Oxygen Mask are nowhere to be seen. As I open my eyes, I see a tomb chamber—not very large, but exquisite and steeped in history.
What puzzles me is that this underwater tomb was previously being flooded due to our destruction; how is it that there’s only a thin layer of water on the ground now? I can’t make sense of it, so I begin to observe the surroundings of the tomb chamber.
The stone walls are adorned with grand and intricate Stone Carvings. The continuous beautiful engravings seem to tell a story, but they’re too far away for me to see clearly; I can only make out what’s closest to me.
The nearest Stone Carving depicts a person entering a house and taking something from someone sleeping in bed, followed by that person laughing joyfully.
These images are too abstract; what I can see is merely my half-guessing and interpreting.
I can’t move or leave the stone pillar I'm tied to, so I remain still and think quietly.
Mu Xuanche will definitely come looking for me once he realizes I'm missing. If luck is on my side, he might find me. However, since I was pulled down from the Water Surface and am now bound to this pillar, it’s clear that this situation is most likely man-made.
After all, if it were some kind of ghost or monster, I think I would already be dead by now.
Since it’s human-made and they haven’t killed me yet, it means I still hold some value for them. If I have value, then what awaits me next is either Mu Xuanche or the person who kidnapped me.
But what value do I hold? The only person I could threaten is Mu Xuanche. But what do they hope to gain by using me in exchange for something from him?
I was deep in thought when suddenly I was jolted awake!
Ghost Seal!
They want the Ghost Seal. If that's the case, it becomes clear who my kidnappers are.
Cult of Spirits.
I can't remember when they started competing with me and Mu Xuanche for things. Whenever we discovered something essential to unlock Qin Wang's Tomb, they would inevitably come to snatch it away, but they had never succeeded.
I don't know what their intentions are in opposing us, but one thing is clear: Mu Xuanche desperately needs anything that can unlock Qin Wang's Tomb. He needs the True Dragon Qi within Qin Wang's Tomb.
