As a fake half-demon, Yue Jiuling feels that living in the human realm is actually pretty good. However, this is only true if she can retrieve her original body and separated soul. There's no c...

Chapter 176 The Cave

Yue Jiuzai thought this fat guy was quite funny. You're a tomb raider, yet you're afraid of ghosts? If you're afraid, why are you even in this line of work?

"Why are you scared too? I'm a woman and I'm not afraid of ghosts, what are you afraid of?"

Yue Jiuzai mocked the fat man, which made the fat man a little angry. He turned to face Yue Jiuzai and said with his neck stiff, "Who's afraid? I just find them disgusting, okay? I've been working in the ground for so long, it's not like I've never seen a ghost before. Why would I be afraid? I just can't stand their ghostly appearance!"

Old Hei was originally walking ahead with Old Wu, but now, listening to their conversation, he didn't say anything. Old Wu turned around and walked to Yue Jiuzai's side, while Old Hei walked ahead on his own.

Uncle Zhao, who was walking behind, laughed and said, "It's good that you're not afraid. There's quite a lot of stuff inside!"

The passage wasn't very long. After walking for a short while, they reached the end again, but this time there were no traps. At the bottom of the passage, there was only a large man-made cave.

This cave is a tunnel that extends underground, and it's about a meter in diameter, big enough for two people to go down at the same time.

Looking at the cave, Yue Jiuzai felt that this should be the entrance to the tomb. However, when she approached the cave, she found that there were several talismans pasted on the edge of the cave.

These talismans look quite old, their colors have darkened, but the environment here is dry and the air is so-so, so they haven't broken yet. Moreover, Yue Jiuzai could feel a trace of spiritual energy on them.

Although the spiritual energy was very weak, Yue Jiuzai could still sense it, and under the flashlight, she could also see that these talismans were all talismans for warding off evil.

When they arrived at the cave entrance, Old Wu shone his flashlight down a few times and found it was pitch black inside, so he nudged Yue Jiuzai and said, "Let's go, it's your turn."

Yue Jiuzai already knew why he had been captured, so he didn't have any objections. However, Jiang Yan was a little worried when he saw Yue Jiuzai being tied up and lowered into the cave.

He stepped forward and said, "Wait, why don't you let me go? I'm going to die anyway, so let me go first."

To be honest, Yue Jiuzai was quite moved when he heard Jiang Yan's words. Although he would be fine going down there, Jiang Yan didn't know that. Moreover, Jiang Yan was a good person and had this kind thought, which was very kind of him.

Old Hei saw this and sneered, "Heh~ You're kind-hearted, kid, but it's not your time yet. Don't worry, you'll be next."

As he spoke, he shoved Yue Jiuzai, who was already tied up with ropes, and cursed, "Get down! What are you standing there for? Do I have to push you myself?!"

When Yue Jiuzai was pushed like that, she timidly squatted down, then carefully lowered her feet, supporting herself with her hands on the edges. She pretended to be very scared and even sobbed, "I...I'm scared..."

Jiang Yan wanted to come forward again when he saw her like this, but Uncle Zhao stopped him. Uncle Zhao glanced at him and said, "Don't rush, you'll be quick too."

Yue Jiu eventually went down. She was tied around the waist with a rope when she came down. No one gave her a flashlight when she came down, but she was not an ordinary person. Her eyesight was still very good in the dark, so she could see very clearly even when she got down.

All Yue Jiuzai could see was that the cave was very dark and empty, with nothing around it. However, he could still feel that there was a lot of yin energy inside, as well as various other kinds of auras, and he also had a feeling of being watched.

"Tsk~ Looks like there's quite a lot in here too~"

After Yue Jiuzai stepped onto the ground, she originally wanted to tell the people above that it was safe inside and ask them to come down. However, just as she was about to pull on the rope around her, she suddenly remembered something and stopped. Instead, she cut the rope around her waist and walked into the darkness.

Old Hei and the others waited up there for a while, but when they found that Yue Jiuzai below hadn't made a sound, they called out to him, "Hey~ you brat, have you arrived yet?"

While shouting, Lao Hei also shook the rope in his hand. However, after shaking it twice, he felt something was wrong. His expression changed, and he suddenly grabbed the rope and pulled it up!

"What, what's going on?! Where's that girl?!"

Uncle Zhao was shocked to see the empty rope that had been pulled up. He quickly picked up the empty rope and then discovered that the end of the rope had been ripped off by someone. He widened his eyes and said, "This broken end... did something happen inside?"
