As he spoke, Su Yun moved the lampstand closer to the tomb. Indeed, the flames began to sway. “The fact that there’s airflow means that it’s not sealed. Perhaps it’s because this tomb path is exposed and there’s airflow flowing in that we can last until now in this sealed environment.”
Chen Jie nodded. “That’s right. Then, should we take the risk and take a look?”
Su Yun quickly nodded. “Let’s go. Staying here is only death. Perhaps we can survive after leaving this tomb!”
With Su Yun giving her an accurate direction, Chen Jie habitually pushed her glasses and nodded. Because this passageway was very narrow, according to speculation, it was only used to transport stone at that time.
Therefore, the entire tomb path from here was a completely steep uphill path.
This way, the stone pushed in from the entrance could roll down. However, Su Yun and Chen Jie had to go against the flow. Because of the narrow space, they could only crawl. Moreover, they had to withstand the intense consumption of their stamina in such an extremely steep environment.
The reason why Chen Jie was not sure of this idea was because once this adventure ended in failure, they would only accelerate the arrival of death. However, this also showed Chen Jie’s trust in Su Yun. After Su Yun made his decision, she did not hesitate.
After all, from the abilities Su Yun had always displayed, he was clearly not an ordinary person or ordinary student. Trusting him was the best choice. It was unknown where this path led, but at this moment, Su Yun and Chen Jie had no other choice.
The two of them quickly entered the dark tomb one after another. The narrow environment made every step very strenuous for the two of them.
Su Yun was fine. After a long period of saber technique training and drug coordination, his physique had improved significantly. The previous training had also greatly increased his adaptability to the environment.
However, Chen Jie was only a person who was good at using her brain. Although she had followed the team out before, it was not normal. Therefore, Chen Jie was drenched in sweat. The sound of her breathing could be clearly heard in the entire tomb. Her limbs became weaker and weaker. In a moment of panic, Chen Jie could not hold on to the steep passageway and slid down.
“Ah!” After a subconscious scream, Chen Jie slid down uncontrollably.
Fortunately, a hand held Chen Jie’s foot firmly and stabilized her figure.
“Miss Chen, are you alright?” As Su Yun spoke, he pushed up with all his might.
Chen Jie, who weighed only about 90 pounds, was easily pushed up. Chen Jie’s face was a little red. After all, in such an awkward environment, it was still a little uncomfortable for women. “Thank you.”
These two words were as soft as a mosquito. Chen Jie did not even dare to look back at Su Yun. The two of them continued to crawl towards an unknown place above. During this period, Chen Jie slipped many times because her stamina was exhausted.
Thankfully, with Su Yun bringing up the rear, he could always stabilize Chen Jie’s figure at critical moments. In the end, Chen Jie’s arm could no longer feel anything. If not for Su Yun supporting her body and allowing her to rest from time to time, she would not have been able to hold on.
The two of them climbed for an unknown period of time. In the end, even Su Yun could not take it anymore. He was completely relying on his mechanical instinct. With his arm injured, he forced himself to climb up.
“Phew…” Just as the two of them had reached the limit of their stamina, a weak airflow came towards them, immediately making Chen Jie perk up. “Su Yun, we should be very close to the entrance. Hold on!”
Upon hearing Chen Jie’s voice, Su Yun gritted his teeth and sped up. Finally, when Chen Jie was the first to stick her body out of the hole, she quickly collapsed to the ground. Even though she really wanted to rest, she forced herself to kneel up. She reached into the entrance of the tomb and grabbed Su
Yun’s hand.contemporary romance
The two of them finally crawled out of the narrow catacomb and greedily breathed in oxygen.
Now, the two of them could not care less where they were. They only lay side by side on the ground, breathing in each other’s breaths and sniffing the smell of sweat on each other’s bodies. They had no strength at all.
After a moment of rest, Su Yun finally felt much better. He struggled to stand up and realized that something was amiss.
Looking up at her surroundings, Su Yun’s eyes quickly flashed with shock. The mountain in front of him stood tall, and all kinds of unknown ancient trees covered the sky.
Su Yun looked up and realized that it was not the sky above her, but pitch-black. There was a small river not far away, but the surface of the river was as still as water, like a pool of stagnant water.
Su Yun was in a daze. Where was he? Why was there such a world after coming out of the tomb path? “Miss Chen, where are we now?”
Su Yun came to Chen Jie’s side in confusion. With Su Yun’s help, Chen Jie finally stood up. She looked around, and the surprise on her face was no less than Su Yun’s. The surrounding mountains rose, but the soil was all dark red. They looked up and could not see the sun. It was as if the two of them were in another world..
