For almost half an hour, the group proceeded without any trouble.
Perhaps it was the white bear's warning, but the dark-skinned man had become much more compliant, or perhaps he was brewing a bigger scheme.
"After passing through a few more hidden passages, we'll reach the place where the coffins are buried," the dark-skinned man said excitedly. This was a grand tomb; if successful, he wouldn't have to work for the rest of his life.
The others' spirits also lifted. After so much, they were finally about to see the coffins.
"Hehehe~"
A woman's light laughter began to echo in everyone's ears.
Upon hearing the sound, everyone chose to ignore it, just like the white shadow before.
However, the sound soon changed. Waves of sorrowful laughter continuously entered their ears, as if a wronged female ghost were buried there.
Belief in ghosts and spirits was utter nonsense in modern society, but such talk was very popular in ancient times.
Even today, people often refer to things they cannot explain as theology. As for whether ghosts truly exist in this world, no one could provide a definitive answer.
It was like sometimes you go to a place and you actually remember having been there before, as if you had seen it in a dream.
There were many such occurrences, rendering them inexplicable.
Since these things couldn't be explained, talk of ghosts and spirits was even less likely to be understood.
"Hehehe, how wonderful, more people have come to play with me~"
The mournful voice grew closer. It was only then that everyone realized this was not an illusion but a reality.
Even the white bear's complexion turned somewhat pale. If it were an illusion, what kind of illusion could deceive a martial artist of the eighth level like the white bear?
"Everyone be careful," the dark-skinned man's expression changed, and he quickly cautioned them.
Seeing the change in the dark-skinned man's expression, Qin Hui also became much more wary. That voice had clearly said that more people had come to play, proving that others had been here before.
And those who had been here could only be the dark-skinned man, otherwise, he wouldn't be so familiar with everything here. He hadn't even made a wrong turn in the previous forks.
Who would be so familiar with the place on their first visit?
It was highly probable that the dark-skinned man had encountered difficulties here and had to rely on several factions to help him enter. Otherwise, why would he share such a good opportunity with others?
"Ahaha, brother, I'll play with you, I'll always play with you."
One of the men accompanying the dark-skinned man's group had his eyes bulge out. With a sinister grin, he bit off his own tongue.
*Thud*
As this person fell, blood quickly pooled on the ground.
Such a bizarre way of dying left everyone trembling. The person who had just died was clearly possessed by something, otherwise, he wouldn't have died so strangely.
"Heh heh, play together, I want to play together too."
A member of the Dragon Patrol lunged towards the white bear, his eyes bulging, completely unable to control himself.
"You're seeking death!"
The white bear punched him, ending his life.
Everyone's faces changed. Now, even if they didn't believe in ghosts, they couldn't help but acknowledge their existence. Otherwise, this method of death was too bizarre, leaving them no room to retaliate.
"Miss, he likes playing with you the most. Will you take him along?" Qin Hui shouted into the air, pointing at the white bear. If the white bear were possessed by this female ghost, Qin Hui would be in a great position, at least able to kill the white bear with justification, and it would be the result of everyone's combined effort.
Hearing this, the white bear's face turned ashen. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, don't come over! Go find Qin Hui, go find Qin Hui! He likes playing the most."
Seeing the white bear's fearful expression, Qin Hui couldn't help but laugh. He hadn't expected him to fear death as well.
"Hehehe, no, I want everyone to play together, play together."
The mournful voice echoed in their ears, as if it would never stop.
"What do we do now?" Leng Mu quickly asked, looking at the dark-skinned man. He was the most experienced here.
"I, I also didn't expect something this bizarre to exist in the world."
Well, the dark-skinned man was also at a loss.
It was true; if he had a solution, he wouldn't have invited so many people to go tomb raiding with him.
Just as everyone was at a loss, another person's eyes bulged, and he foamed at the mouth and died.
"We can't stay here any longer. Let's hurry inside." The dark-skinned man urged.
With someone taking the lead, everyone rushed into the hidden passage, afraid of being entangled by the female ghost if they walked any slower.
"Let's go." Qin Hui exchanged a look with Li Dazhuang.
Li Dazhuang did not hesitate and followed everyone into the hidden passage. As long as they passed through the hidden passage, they would reach the center of the treasure.
Seeing everyone rush forward, Qin Hui gritted his teeth and also dashed into the hidden passage.
However, just as Qin Hui was about to reach it, the white bear stood at the entrance of the hidden passage, smiled coldly, and punched the passage shut, leaving Qin Hui with no retreat!
"Hehehe~"
"So timid, you actually ran away. But you left one behind to play with me."
The mournful voice sounded in Qin Hui's ears with infinite echoes.
...
"Qin Hui is still outside! White bear, why did you seal the passage!" Li Dazhuang roared.
"Heh, if you blame anyone, blame yourself for running too slowly. If he had run in, he might have brought the female ghost with us."
"Sacrifice one to save everyone. Do you have any objections?" The white bear said, unleashing his ferocity, forcing Li Dazhuang back several steps before he could stabilize himself.
"Alright, since the outcome is already decided, let's not waste any more time. Open the large door ahead, and we will find the treasure." The dark-skinned man's eyes were filled with burning desire and greed. The thing he yearned for was finally within reach.
Hearing the dark-skinned man's words, everyone's spirits immediately livened up. Everyone wanted to know how many treasures awaited them from such a powerful cultivator!
As the stone door was pushed open, a cold arrow flew out from within.
The person who opened the stone door had no time to react before being pierced through the throat by the cold arrow. Blood spilled onto the ground, and he finally fell.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh~*
Dozens of cold arrows flew out from behind the door. These arrows were also coated with potent poison.
In the narrow space, everyone had no way to dodge.
The white bear's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed someone to use as a shield.
In an instant, this person was riddled with holes by the cold arrows.
The remaining few had no choice but to adopt the white bear's method to evade the cold arrow attacks; otherwise, they would be the ones used as shields.
