Was he going to die again?
The situation was dire. Ye Zichen stood before the hundred-foot-tall lions, looking as insignificant as an ant.
The black-faced monster's screams grew fainter and fainter, while Chi Mei had been devoured so thoroughly that not even a strand of her hair remained.
The acrid stench of blood permeated the mausoleum. Not only did it provoke Ye Zichen, it also provoked the surrounding lions.
"Hey, bro, can we sit down and have a chat?"
Ye Zichen didn't know how this mausoleum was set up, but after retreating a few dozen meters, he found himself in a bottomless abyss.
He couldn't fly here, either. The lions had already forced him into dire straits.
He greeted the lion that seemed to be the leader of this pride of lions. However, what made him feel despair was that his friendly smile was exchanged for the collective roar of the pride of lions.
"That's way too unfriendly. You must be the Five Elements Great Emperor's guardian beasts, right? Hey, look carefully. I'm a good friend of the Five Elements Great Emperor. "
All he got in response was another deafening roar, and the lions pressed closer.
He instinctively took a step back, but when he stepped off the edge of the cliff, he fell into the abyss. After a long while, there was no response at all. From this, it was clear just how deep the abyss was.
Ye Zichen gulped, then looked around vigilantly at the lions.
It was unlikely for him to communicate with them, and the chances of him breaking through directly was still slim. No matter how agile Ye Zichen's thoughts were, he couldn't see any chance of survival.
"Chi Mei is right. The Five Elements Great Emperor sent them here, but he shouldn't have let them die. Or perhaps this mausoleum was set up in order to lure his descendants to their deaths, so that he wouldn't feel lonely in his eternal slumber? If that's really the case, then the Five Elements Great Emperor's sense of humor is too twisted! "
The way Ye Zichen saw it, there was definitely a way to break out of this mausoleum, but he just couldn't figure it out.
The lions drew even closer to Ye Zichen. They seemed in no hurry to devour him; rather, they wanted to toy with him. Their steps were extremely slow, but they were like a death knell, constantly reminding Ye Zichen that his life was nearing its end.
"Do they really think I'm easy to bully?"
With that, Ye Zichen charged directly at the lions. Several five-meter-long fireballs instantly appeared behind him.
When the fireball appeared, he didn't expect it to be instantaneous. Even someone like him who dabbled in the Power of the Five Elements could do it in an instant. It seemed like the Dao of the Five Elements here was quite clear.
"Maybe this is the way to break out of this situation."
As he considered this, Ye Zichen's heart burned with passion. In the blink of an eye, more and more fireballs appeared behind him, then merged together to form a sea of flames several hundred meters wide.
Beasts were all afraid of fire. When they saw such a dazzling sea of fire, those ferocious lions actually took a step back.
"Little brats, weren't you all very arrogant just now?"
The sea of flames behind him was all he could rely on. When he saw the murderers retreat, Ye Zichen suddenly regretted not thinking about this in the first place. If he'd done that, he might have been able to save Chi Mei and the others.
"Chi Mei, although you're terrible at pretending to be cute, if you die … I will avenge you. And Blackface, I will avenge you. "
Boom.
The sea of fire behind him suddenly engulfed the group of lions. The lions were terrified of the fire and kept retreating.
However, when they reached the mausoleum's gates, they seemed to have retreated to their limits. They stopped and roared uneasily.
"Roar ….."
At that moment, the lion leader let out a low roar and charged into the sea of flames. After him, several lions followed it and charged into the sea of fire.
"You're seeking death!"
The sea of flames never stopped growing, but to his surprise …..
"Roar!"
The lion leader charged out of the sea of flames, his body blazing with raging flames. The flames charred almost all of his brown fur.
His eyes were filled with hatred as he pounced on Ye Zichen.
His strength was so great that the instant Ye Zichen hit the ground, all of his bones were crushed. Ye Zichen struggled to stay conscious despite the heart-wrenching pain. He watched helplessly as the lion leader's bloody maw closed in on him.
"Am I going to die again?"
The mere thought of it was laughable. He'd gone through so much trouble to reincarnate and decide to fly to the God Realm, but he hadn't even ascended the Divine Mountains. He still hadn't verified Xia Keke's information. He still hadn't visited the Netherworld, where Su Yiyun's soul might be. He still hadn't resolved his misunderstanding with Su Yan. He still hadn't married Little Honghong …..
He had far too many unfulfilled desires, but now he was going to die.
He didn't blame Chi Mei. Things had already come to this, and she was already dead. What else could he complain about? What he hated was the Five Elements Great Emperor.
"Five Elements Great Emperor, you played us!"
He laughed bitterly. By now, he no longer had the strength to roar. All he could do was smile bleakly as he looked at the lion's bloody maw …..
"Hey, Ye Zichen, wake up!"
Ye Zichen, who'd been prepared to die, suddenly opened his eyes and stared in astonishment. It wasn't a lion, but rather, Chi Mei, who'd already been bitten to death.
"You …. I …. Am I already dead?"
The lion had been efficient and efficient. It hadn't suffered too much, and had given him a quick death.
Now that he was dead, he was free of everything.
Ye Zichen sat on the ground, his face filled with bitterness. Then, he discovered that the lion cub had bitten to death was standing right in front of him.
His face was as dark as ever, just like when he'd been alive.
"Grumpy Freak, you're already dead, so why the hell are you pulling such a long face? What, is this your style? Do you want to keep it this way in your next life? I'm telling you, a girl like you won't like you. Hurry up and change your style, or else I'm worried you'll die alone. "
Grumpy Freak's face was ashen. He glared at Ye Zichen, as if he wanted to kill him with his gaze alone.
"What? Who are you trying to scare? If we really fought, you'd have a hard time beating me, you know? Look at your tiny arms and legs. I'm afraid if I use too much force, I'll snap that bone club of yours. "
Now that he was dead, he no longer cared about the things he'd been worried about when he was alive. Ye Zichen, who'd died a miserable death, opened his mouth. This time, he directed his words directly at Chi Mei.
"Big breasts but no brains. That's the perfect example of someone like you. You're still pretending to be cute? Let me tell you, acting cute really is embarrassing. Every time I see you, I can't help but clench my fists and want to punch you in the face. That said, in terms of looks and figure alone, you're actually more than qualified to be my concubine. "
Chi Mei, who'd been laughing at Grumpy Freak's words, suddenly froze. However, she wasn't nearly as friendly as Grumpy Freak. She directly slapped Ye Zichen across the face.
Ye Zichen casually grabbed her arm and snorted disdainfully.
"You want to hit me? I …."
Halfway through his sentence, he stopped. If his senses weren't mistaken ….
Her hand was warm!
Ye Zichen couldn't quite believe his senses. He raised his hand and slapped his thigh ….
