But Xiaoke was different- Lin Yi knew her situation, and why she was earning money. In Lin Yi's heart, she was a friend, and naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to her.
Luckily, the jade on him had an auto-grouping function, and within a certain range, anyone that Lin Yi accepted would be able to alert him. So when Xiaoke touched the stone door, Lin Yi didn't feel any alarm from the jade. He let out a sigh of relief and didn't interfere with Xiaoke, standing there coldly.
Xiaoke evidently didn't know that there was no danger behind the door, and when everyone moved away, Xiaoke pulled the door open and quickly retreated to the tunnel that she went through yesterday.
The stone door opened, but there was no movement inside. There was no poisonous gas or arrows, nor were there any demons or ghosts. There was only some old dust and a damp, moldy smell swirling in the air.
"No problem!" Old Hei shone his searchlight for a while, "Someone went in here before, and there are some used arrows on the ground. They must've activated the mechanism before, so there shouldn't be any danger after we activate it again."
"Don't be weird, didn't we see someone go in before?" Elder Yu hmphed, "Then why aren't we going in now?"
Old Hei nodded and said to Xiaoke, "You go first!"
Xiaoke was a bit troubled. It wasn't easy to earn money, and she was here to be the vanguard. If she didn't do something, she'd become cannon fodder. But there was no other choice- she had to earn money first!
Lin Yi didn't say anything and followed behind Xiaoke. If anything happened to her, Lin Yi could protect her immediately.
General Weiwu followed behind Lin Yi, followed by Lingshan and Yutian.
Old Hei, naturally, wouldn't say anything about Lin Yi leading the way. The more he walked, the more dangerous it would be. He just followed behind! Previously, when they explored the tomb, they only managed to reach the entrance of the underground palace. As for the interior of the underground palace, it was unknown.
After entering the entrance, the air was much thinner, and this had something to do with the stone door being closed. Lin Yi and the others were practitioners, so it wasn't a problem, but Old Hei and James had prepared oxygen tanks in case of emergencies.
The passageway of the underground palace was still the same as when they first entered. It was rugged and twisted. One moment, it seemed to be climbing a slope, and the next moment, it seemed to be going downhill. Sometimes, it was to the left, and sometimes, it was to the right. However, there were no more forks like before. This made everyone feel slightly relieved. At least, there was no possibility of them going astray.
However, the only thing that made everyone feel uneasy was that the passageways in this underground palace seemed to be endless! They walked carefully, on the other hand, looking out for traps and forks. Their walking speed wasn't that slow, but after walking for more than an hour, they still couldn't see an exit.
"What's going on? We've been walking for so long, why aren't we there yet? "Elder Yu's voice sounded.
"This path should be an S shape, and it's spiraling downwards. Logically speaking, with our walking speed, we should be able to reach the foot of the mountain, but we're still not there. This means that the path was purposely made like this, to make people feel a sense of fear." Xiaoke explained. This wasn't a rare thing for people who often raided tombs. Some tombs were built as weirdly-looking as possible. The more weird it was, the safer it was.
Elder Yu nodded. "If that's the case, then let's hurry! When are we going to reach the end of this? "
"If you think it's too slow, then lead the way, or shut up!" Lin Yi turned to look at Elder Yu coldly.
"You …" Elder Yu was a little pissed off. He wanted to lead the way, but who knew if there was any danger? Although he was an Earth-rank master, the difference in professions was like the difference in mountains. If he didn't react in time and died in the tomb, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Plus, if he dared to move on his own, he wouldn't need Lin Yi's help. Wouldn't it be better if he went first? He wouldn't have to worry about the profit distribution.
"Elder Yu, it's better to be safe than sorry. Since we're already in here, it's only a matter of time before we reach the palace. There's no need to rush …" Old Hei said.
Elder Yu didn't say anything, and the group continued walking along the path …
After walking another ten kilometers, Old Hei and James were starting to get tired! Xiaoke wasn't a golden class yet, but her qinggong was top notch. Walking a bit more wasn't a problem at all. Lin Yi, Lingshan, Yutian, and even Weiwu were all practitioners. Naturally, they wouldn't feel tired.
"It's about time, let's rest here for a bit before continuing?" Old Hei really couldn't take it anymore. He wanted to eat and drink some water.
"You bastard, just two steps and you're tired?" Elder Yu was an impatient man- seeing that Old Hei wanted to rest, he wasn't too happy.
Lin Yi really wondered how this guy got to Earth class in the first place. Why didn't he go crazy and die from training? His luck was really good! On the path of practitioning, one had to have a stable temperament. Being too impatient could cause one to go crazy.
"Then let's rest for a bit," Lin Yi didn't care about what Elder Yu was saying- he stopped walking and sat down cross-legged.
"…" Elder Yu was really pissed off, and with a hmph, he stopped as well.
Old Hei and James looked at Lin Yi gratefully, but only they knew if it was real or fake.
After resting for a while, it was already evening, and after dinner, it was about time to sleep. Naturally, they couldn't continue walking anymore. Lin Yi, on the other hand, sat down cross-legged, ready to rest! This pissed Elder Yu off. You're a Mystic, what the hell are you sleeping for? It's fine even if you can last a few days, aren't you just messing with us?
If Lin Yi didn't leave, no one could leave, and Old Hei and James didn't want to leave either. They were both normal people, and naturally, they needed to rest at night.
Elder Yu had no choice but to sit down and start practitioning! The qi in the tomb was more abundant, but it wasn't as good as the hidden House Yu's, so Elder Yu didn't have much of a desire to practise here …
