One of them asked in a trembling voice, "W-Are you human beings or ghosts?"
"It's a ghost." Gu Ning found it funny, so she joked with him.
However, the man didn't get more scared after hearing Gu Ning's words. Instead, he relaxed a little. "If you can talk, you must be human beings. Anyway, let's go now. There's a swarm of bats."
He wasn't curious why there were other people here, because there were so many tomb raiders. It wasn't strange that someone found an ancient tomb here.
A swarm of bats?
Hearing that, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes at once. She indeed saw a swarm of bats flying towards the tomb from an anteroom.
After that, they ran into the anteroom next to Gu Ning's. When they were about to close the door, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn't come inside. One of them shouted, "Hey, do you want to come inside? If not, we'll close the door."
It was already kind enough to remind them that there was a swarm of bats, but they still didn't come inside. If something really happened, it had nothing to do with them.
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting walked inside at once, and a man closed the door of the anteroom. Everyone was relieved.
A few seconds after the door was closed, they heard squeaking sounds from outside.
"What should we do? Although bats are afraid of light and fire, there are too many of them. Our flashlights aren't enough. Besides, is there anything we can burn here? "a man asked.
"Show us all the night-luminescent pearls!" Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting said.
Leng Shaoting nodded and showed them all the night-luminescent pearls. The whole anteroom lit up all of a sudden, which scared the four men.
They looked towards the source of the light, and rounded their eyes in shock. "A night-luminescent pearl?"
Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting didn't say anything, but watched their expressions. If these men didn't have any bad intentions, Gu Ning wouldn't hesitate to take them out, but if they wanted to hurt them, she wouldn't help them.
Among them, three of them were shocked, but didn't show any greed or schemes. However, one of them showed greed and schemes.
Of course, it didn't mean that Gu Ning didn't want to do that, but she didn't like Gu Ning at all.
Gu Ning looked to a man who was about 25 years old. He was the youngest one among them. "Are you injured?"
The man was indeed injured by a bat, because his face began to turn black. It was a sign that he was poisoned.
Hearing Gu Ning's words, the other three men looked to the man and asked him with anxiety, "Leng Shaoting, are you injured? Where are you hurt? "
"I-I think I was bitten by a bat just now." The man didn't remember the sharp pain on the back of his hand until now. He panicked at once, because he clearly knew that bats in tombs were highly poisonous because they absorbed Yin all year round.
Although he wouldn't die right away, he would die within one or two hours if he wasn't treated in time.
"Medicine!" The three men immediately took off their backpacks to find medicine.
They often raided tombs, so they naturally had antidotes to all kinds of poisons with them.
Once they took out the medicine, they immediately applied it on the back of the man's left hand, then let him take it orally. However, the effect of the medicine was very slow, and it would take a long time for it to take effect. Moreover, once he was poisoned, his body would be weak for a long time even if he was detoxified, and his movements would be affected.
Gu Ning took out a small porcelain bottle and walked over, giving it to them. "If you trust me, take this. It'll take effect soon."
Inside the porcelain bottle was the result of Gu Ning's experiment today.
They glanced at Gu Ning, but didn't take it at once. It was impossible for them to believe her, because she might want to kill them and take the antiques in the ancient tomb as her own.
However, they weren't paranoid, and didn't want to label someone who didn't know them.
Gu Ning understood their concerns, so she said, "No matter what happens, I'll be responsible for it."
Hearing Gu Ning's words, they decided to believe her for the time being. They took the bottle and thanked her.
They also knew that although they had the medicine, it took effect very slowly. Although their lives wouldn't be in danger, they couldn't recover in a short time, which would greatly affect their next actions.
Once they took the medicine from Gu Ning, they gave it to the man without delay.
The moment the clear water mixed with magical power entered his mouth, the man felt cool and comfortable.
The cool air quickly spread all over his body. His wounds stopped hurting and bleeding, and he recovered his strength quickly. His face, which was a little dark, became rosy again, which surprised them.
The man's wounds didn't heal because there wasn't enough magical power. Gu Ning did that on purpose, because she didn't want to cause trouble if the effect was too abnormal.
"Thank you so much, Miss Gu," the four men said again.
"You're welcome." Gu Ning didn't take the credit for herself. Then she asked, "You're professional grave robbers. Do you feel that this ancient tomb is unusual?" Gu Ning asked.
In fact, Gu Ning wasn't sure whether they felt something unusual, so she said that to trick them.
However, when she said that, the four men changed their expressions. It was obvious that they had experienced something unusual.
They had been in poor health ever since they left the ancient tomb last week, so they didn't come back to take away the other antiques the next day. Instead, they came back a week later when they were almost recovered.
During that time, they either had nightmares or were in low spirits. Sometimes they were so weak that they even fainted.
However, when the other party said that it was unusual, was it referring to this? They didn't know Gu Ning's purpose, so they remained silent. They just looked at Gu Ning, waiting for her to continue.
"I think you already know it. Out of my conscience, I sincerely warn you, but it's up to you whether you want to believe me or not. The antiques in this ancient tomb are not clean, and contain Yin. If you take them away, the Yin will enter your body. If you don't take them, you'll often have nightmares and be in low spirits. If you don't take them, you'll directly pass out, or even die, "Gu Ning said.
These words sounded mysterious and hard to believe, but the four people who had experienced these things couldn't doubt it, because they had experienced such things themselves.
"Then what should we do?" When the person who was bitten by the bat heard this, he was so scared that his face turned pale and he asked nervously.
"Miss Gu, do you mean that we should give up those antiques?" the 35-year-old man asked in an unpleasant tone.
"If you don't want to live, you can give up the antiques in this tomb. If you don't want to live, you can take them," Gu Ning said.
