Chapter 263 Qinling Sacred Tree (22)
At this moment, a light sound of footsteps came from not far away. "They are coming." Zhang Qiling said softly. Ji Xiao quickly put away the ruby in her hand.
When Wu Xie and Fatty saw them, they couldn't help but complain, "Dumb Zhang, where did you go just now? I was almost caught by that damn sea monkey. I was almost scared to death!"
The fat man patted his chest with lingering fear and said, "I almost fell into those damn traps!"
Ji Xiao looked at the two and said, "We looked around and then we came to a completely different tomb. It took us a lot of twists and turns to get here."
Wu Xie nodded his head when he heard this, expressing his agreement: "That's right, the layout of the mechanisms in this underwater tomb is not static, but is in a state of constant change and movement."
The fat man standing nearby suddenly asked, "Hey, bro, do you feel something strange here?"
Zhang Qiling turned to look at him and asked calmly, "What's strange about that?"
The fat man frowned and staggered while muttering, "I always have the illusion that something is hiding in the dark and secretly watching us."
Just as she finished speaking, Ji Xiao suddenly said, "No one is monitoring us. It's just that so many of us broke into someone else's house and woke them up, so they came out to take a look."
When she said this, Wu Xie and Fatty were so frightened that they hugged each other tightly. Wu Xie looked around in horror and stammered, "You... don't scare me! There are no other people around here except us!"
The fat man also quickly echoed: "Yeah! Uh... No, Aning and the guy with black glasses are not here."
"Tsk tsk..." Ji Xiao looked at them with disdain, shook her head and said, "Didn't I just tell you that the owner of this place is a pretty lady. And since you have the courage to go down to the cemetery, are you afraid of her?"
Fatty and Wu Xie walked slowly towards them.
After listening to Ji Xiao's words, the fat man couldn't help but say, "Oh my dear sister, can this be the same?"
Ji Xiao tilted her head, looked at them curiously and asked, "What's the difference? You guys are all running to someone else's territory, so what if the owner comes out to take a look? Is there a problem?"
After listening to her, Wu Xie pondered over it carefully and seemed to think that what she said did make sense: "Uh (⊙o⊙)... This seems to be the case! But then again, they are not the same species after all."
The young lady who had been hiding nearby could no longer bear it after hearing this. She was so angry that she revealed her figure and rushed in front of Wu Xie. She said to him angrily, "So what if we are of different species? I was also a human being when I was alive. Besides, I have no intention of marrying you, nor have I hurt you in the slightest. But you, kid, came up and attacked me without any reason. I didn't even care that you broke into my house without permission."
"Ah!!!" Wu Xie let out a terrified scream, and his body involuntarily took several steps back. The fat man standing next to him was also so frightened that his face turned pale, and he almost fell to the ground like Wu Xie.
Just when they were about to lose their balance, Zhang Qiling quickly took out his long sword and placed it firmly behind them to help them steady their bodies.
Seeing this, Ji Xiao looked at the two panicked people calmly and said, "Didn't I tell you just now that the owner of this ancient tomb is a beautiful young lady?"
When the two of them regained their footing, Wu Xie tried to calm his fear. He took a deep breath and stared at the female ghost in white clothes and with a face as pale as paper. He said in a trembling voice, "When we first entered here, I caught a glimpse of her in the water..."
The fat man interrupted and said, "I thought you didn't sleep well and your eyes were blurry so you saw wrongly."
"Yeah, it was just a moment, I even suspected that I was seeing things..." Wu Xie muttered to himself, it seemed that he still hadn't fully recovered from the shock just now.
