Chapter 203 Package Lost
The chaotic footsteps outside the passage were getting closer and closer. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes. They quickly hid in a relatively hidden stone chamber, holding their breath and watching the situation.
"Boss, are we really going in? This ancient tomb is full of traps. What if..."
"Shut up! If you are afraid of death, just go back! That guy has a treasure. If we let him get the upper hand, both you and I will be in trouble!" A rough voice interrupted his companion's doubts, and the tone was full of greed and ruthlessness.
Gao Xingchen's heart trembled. It seemed that their whereabouts had been exposed. These people should be sent by the Fire Cloud Evil God. He clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, ready for the upcoming battle.
"What should we do?" Nan Li asked in a low voice, with a cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"Act according to circumstances and adapt to circumstances." Gao Xingchen replied calmly. He knew very well that he couldn't act rashly at this moment. He had to conserve his strength and wait for the opportunity.
Outside the stone chamber, the Fire Cloud Evil God's men had already searched the area. Holding torches, they carefully searched every corner with the weak light, trying to force Gao Xingchen and Nan Li out.
"Found it! They are here!" Suddenly, a sharp voice rang out, breaking the silence in the tomb.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were shocked, it seemed that they had been discovered. Without time to think, Gao Xingchen took Nan Li's hand, rushed out of the stone chamber, and started a fierce battle with the Fire Cloud Evil God's men.
The battle was about to start, Gao Xingchen's sword flashed fiercely, and each move was aimed at the enemy's vital points. Nan Li was agile, and the dagger in his hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and each move was fierce and hard to defend against.
Although Huoyun Evil God's men were numerous and powerful, they could not gain an advantage against Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's joint attack. They continuously released smoke bombs to try to disrupt Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's vision, and also used traps to try to trap them.
For a moment, the tomb was filled with shouts of killing, the sound of weapons colliding, and the roar of the triggering of the mechanism. The scene was in chaos. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood back to back, struggling to resist the enemy's attack, but as time went on, their physical strength and true energy were gradually consumed.
"This is not a solution. We must break out as soon as possible!" Gao Xingchen said to Nan Li while resisting the enemy's attack.
Nan Li nodded in agreement. They seized an opportunity and exerted their strength at the same time, forcing the surrounding enemies to retreat, then turned and ran towards the depths of the tomb.
Seeing this, Huoyun Evil God's followers immediately chased after them, calling out to their companions as they tried to surround Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li shuttled through the intricate tomb passages, with enemies chasing them from behind and unknown dangers ahead. Their situation became increasingly dangerous...
The tomb passage was narrow, and the light of the torches danced on the mottled walls, reflecting hideous faces. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood back to back, struggling to resist the enemies that were pouring in like a tide.
"Xingchen, we can't go on like this, we will be exhausted to death!" There was a hint of anxiety in Nanli's voice. The dagger in her hand flew around, and every attack took a life, but the enemies seemed endless. As the previous wave fell, the next wave immediately replaced them.
"I know!" Gao Xingchen gritted his teeth. He had killed countless enemies with the sword in his hand, but he did not dare to relax at all. "We must find a breakthrough!"
As he spoke, Gao Xingchen swung his sword fiercely, forcing the enemy in front of him to retreat, then took Nan Li's hand and ran towards the depths of the tomb passage. The two of them rushed left and right in the narrow tomb passage, but the shouts of killing behind them kept chasing them.
Suddenly, a fork in the road appeared ahead. Before Gao Xingchen could make a choice, a powerful impact came from behind him, slamming him into the passage on the right.
"Xingchen!" Nan Li screamed, trying to grab Gao Xingchen, but it was too late. She watched Gao Xingchen disappear into the darkness, while she was forced to retreat again and again by the enemies behind her, and was finally blocked on the other side of the passage.
"Xingchen!" Nan Li shouted Gao Xingchen's name desperately, but her voice was drowned out by the chaos. She wanted to rush over, but the enemy in front of her was like a solid wall that made it impossible for her to cross.
Gao Xingchen was knocked unconscious, and when he came to his senses, he found himself in an unfamiliar tomb. He struggled to stand up and looked around, only to find that the place was empty, with only a faint firelight shining in from the entrance, making his figure look particularly slender.
"Nanli?" Gao Xingchen called out tentatively, but received no response. His heart sank suddenly, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He knew that he and Nanli had been separated.
At this time, Nan Li was still trying desperately to break through the enemy's encirclement and find Gao Xingchen. She fought all the way, her heart filled with anxiety and uneasiness. Just when she was about to despair, she suddenly found a stone door in front of her.
This stone door seemed out of tune with the surrounding environment. There were many strange patterns carved on it, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. Nan Li's heart moved. Could this be the entrance to the tomb they had been looking for?
Without time to think, Nan Li pushed back the enemy in front of her, then leaped and rushed towards the stone door. She stretched out her hand and pressed on the stone door, pushing hard, and the stone door made a dull sound and slowly opened.
However, at the moment the stone door opened, a powerful force gushed out from the door, and Nan Li was thrown out. She fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, and her eyes were blurred.
At the same time, the entire ruins began to shake violently, and rocks above heads kept falling, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.
"What's going on?" Nan Li struggled to raise his head and looked at the horrifying scene in front of him, his heart filled with fear and confusion.
Could it be that she triggered some mechanism?
At this time, Gao Xingchen, who was trapped in another tomb, also felt the violent vibration. His heart tightened, and a bad premonition arose spontaneously.
"Nanli, where are you?" Gao Xingchen shouted loudly at the empty tomb, his voice full of anxiety and worry.
He knew that they were all in danger, and a greater crisis was yet to come... Gao Xingchen paced back and forth in the tomb anxiously, calling out Nan Li's name, but all he got in response was a hollow echo and the falling rubble. The ruins were shaking more and more violently, as if they would collapse completely at any time. He was extremely anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only pray that Nan Li was safe.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry for help from afar. Gao Xingchen was delighted and immediately ran in the direction of the sound. He passed through several narrow passages and finally found Nan Li in a half-collapsed tomb.
"Nanli, are you okay?" Gao Xingchen rushed forward, helped Nanli who fell to the ground, and asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, just slightly injured." Nan Li shook his head, pointed at the shaky boulder above his head, and said solemnly, "We have to leave here quickly, this place is about to collapse!"
Gao Xingchen nodded, pulled Nan Li up and ran out. They dodged falling rocks and collapsed ground along the way, and finally escaped from the crumbling tomb. However, before they could catch their breath, a greater crisis appeared again - due to the violent shaking, the road they came from was completely blocked, and the entire ruins turned into a huge maze, full of dangers and unknowns.
"What should we do? What should we do now?" Nan Li looked at the chaotic scene in front of him, his heart filled with despair.
"Don't worry, we will definitely find a way out." Gao Xingchen comforted him, but he himself was unsure. Not only were they lost, but even worse, during the escape just now, Gao Xingchen's backpack was accidentally lost, which contained their only remaining dry food, water and some important tools.
"Without food and water, we can't hold on for long." There was a hint of trembling in Nanli's voice.
"There must be another way." Gao Xingchen clenched his fists and forced himself to calm down. "Let's look for it first. Maybe we can find another exit."
However, reality is cruel. They groped in the ruins for a long time, but still could not find a way out. As time passed, their strength and hope gradually faded.
"Are... we really going to die here?" Nan Li leaned weakly against a huge rock and asked in despair.
Gao Xingchen did not answer. He looked up at the crumbling stones above his head, his eyes gleaming with determination. He would never give up. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, he would definitely take Nan Li out of this damned ruins alive!
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from afar, like the sound of metal colliding, or the roar of a wild beast. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope and fear rose in their hearts at the same time.
Could it be... someone else? Or... something even scarier?
