Extraordinary Pioneer

Chapter 18 Darkness and Despair

"Isn't it a little too crude?"

Wang Jingchen touched the back of his head, looking a little surprised.

Li Ye and Wang Jingchen are now standing at the entrance of the Lord's tomb.

The weeds in front of Lord Weng's tomb are just a simple hole at the entrance, without any inscriptions, and there is no sign showing the identity of Weng Lord Liu Yan.

Li Ye didn't answer, but frowned slightly: "Let's go in."

Li Ye didn't think that the simplicity of Lord Weng's tomb was deliberately made by Emperor Wu. The tomb of Lord Weng was built for Liu Yu to show to other kings. Since it was done, there is no need to make other articles on it.From the looks of it, it might be because the repair period was too short.

Originally, the middle-aged captain originally planned to lead a dozen soldiers and Li Ye to enter together, but Li Ye found a reason to refuse.

According to Li Ye's previous gaming experience, for such a game with a particularly high degree of freedom, some accidents will always occur at critical and important moments to forcefully increase the difficulty of the game.In order to avoid panic and out of control due to the large number of people, Li Ye decided to enter Lord Weng's Tomb only with Wang Jingchen.

According to Li Ye's understanding, he and Wang Jingchen are both supernatural beings, and those soldiers are ordinary people.If both of them encountered unsolvable problems, then these people would only add to the trouble.

"a little cold……"

As soon as he stepped into Weng Zhu's tomb, Wang Jingchen couldn't help shivering.

His small narrowed eyes glanced around, and there was a trace of fear in them.

"Brother Ye, you said there won't be anything strange here?"

Wang Jingchen looked at Li Ye with a calm face, like Li Ye who had experienced many battles, and asked cautiously.

Li Ye naturally knew what Wang Jingchen was asking.

"This is the tomb left for Liu Yan to be buried alive. Now she herself doesn't know where she went. What are you afraid of?"

Li Ye found that this fat man was not only cowardly, but also had some points. He really suspected that Wang Jingchen's first mission was paid for.

"Right!"

Hearing this, Wang Jingchen suddenly felt that the coldness on his body disappeared instantly: "However, I also have supernatural powers. Even if I really can't fight, I can still run!"

"..."

After entering the tomb of Lord Weng, there was an open space of tens of square meters, and seven or eight bronze shelves were placed on the open space, but the shelves were still empty, without anything.Beside the bronze shelf, there are three or five stone carvings. Even if Li Ye is a layman, he would think these stone carvings are very delicate at first glance.This also confirmed Li Ye's previous thought that the repairs in front of Lord Weng's tomb were simply because the time was too short.

"Is this the eight entrances that the middle-aged captain said earlier?"

At this time, Li Ye and Wang Jingchen were standing in the small open space. In front of them were eight dark cave entrances.

Before entering Wengzhu's tomb, the middle-aged captain told Li Ye and Wang Jingchen that behind Wengzhu's tomb, you will encounter eight secret passages, seven of which are full of various traps such as poisonous arrows and miasma. One way is safe.

Of course, leaving the only safe path is not for the convenience of Captain Mojin who may come, but for the garrison soldiers to confirm Liu Yu's death.Once Liu Yan's death is confirmed, the only way out will be a deadly trap.

"Go, far right."

According to the information given by the middle-aged captain, Li Ye chose a safe path.

Li Ye moved quickly, and Wang Jingchen hurriedly followed.

"It's so dark..."

Wang Jingchen muttered as he walked.

When I was in the open space before, with the help of the light outside the cave entrance, I could still see the surrounding environment clearly.At this time, there is no light source, and the more you want to walk inside, the dimmer the light becomes.

Li Ye ignored Wang Jingchen. While groping carefully, he tried his best to see the vision ahead.Although his physical fitness has improved to a certain extent after awakening his abilities, Li Ye still cannot achieve full night vision for the time being.

"Huh? There's light! It's the oil lamp that the captain said earlier!"

While walking, Wang Jingchen suddenly said.

Next to the sarcophagus in the Lord's tomb, oil lamps made of special oil were set up. These oil lamps burned for a very long time, which could last for decades or even hundreds of years.

Li Ye and Wang Jingchen quickened their pace, they both wanted to quickly reach the place where Liu Yu disappeared, only there could they find useful key clues.

"Is this the sarcophagus where Liu Yan was buried..."

Li Ye muttered in a low voice.

At this time, Li Ye and Wang Jingchen had walked out of the path on the far right.

In front of the two of them was a sarcophagus nearly three meters long.The sarcophagus looks very simple, and there are no carvings on the surface, but it gives people an extremely depressing feeling.

Next to the sarcophagus, in addition to the special oil lamps, there are also some exquisite handicrafts made by skilled craftsmen on the shelf.

"As expected of the Tomb of the Lord Weng..."

Wang Jingchen put all his thoughts on those handicrafts.

"Why, do you still understand this?"

Li Ye glanced at Wang Jingchen.

Wang Jingchen shook his head: "I don't understand, but my dad has a hobby of studying antiques. If he can get a few pieces out, he will definitely treat them as treasures."

Of course, Wang Jingchen was just talking.According to Li Ye's previous experience, the equipment and items obtained in the game cannot be taken out of the game, like the rings and keys in the previous novice mission.

"Go to the side of the sarcophagus and see if you can find anything of value."

Li Ye and Wang Jingchen came to the side of the sarcophagus and inspected it from the coffin lid to the coffin body from beginning to end.The more they checked, the more surprised they felt.Although the surface of the sarcophagus is made of stone, the small smooth particles are extremely uniform, as if they were carved one by one.

"Let's work hard together to open the coffin lid."

Li Ye and Wang Jingchen pushed one side of the coffin lid together and slowly pushed the coffin lid open.

"Nothing at all……"

Li Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

The inside of the sarcophagus is the same as the outside, except for the smooth inner wall, there is nothing else.

"Ugh……"

Wang Jingchen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly sighed.

"how?"

Li Ye looked up at Wang Jingchen.

"To bury Liu Yan alive is actually to put her into this sarcophagus while she was alive?" Wang Jingchen's face showed a trace of unbearable, "A person who is seriously ill, before he knows how long he will be dying At this time, he was thrown into this sarcophagus alive... In such a small space, after the coffin lid is closed, everything outside is isolated. There is no sound, no light, and there is only endless darkness, despair and extinction... Knowing the way forward to death, but unable to recover a single bit, I can only listen to my own heartbeat in the dark, being swallowed up bit by bit..."

"But luckily she escaped." Li Ye didn't expect Wang Jingchen to say such a thing, and he responded, "Whether it's dead or alive, at least not having to feel the encroachment of despair is a kind of salvation. "
