Chapter 473:

"Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~"

Wang Heng was alone in a cave. The cave was very dark, and Wang Heng could not see anything, but he could hear the sound of dripping water. The sound of dripping water, "drip-drip," was very clear in the silent cave, making Wang Heng want to find the source of the sound.

But just as Wang Heng was walking in the direction of the dripping sound, his foot was tripped by something. When he looked down at his feet, a drop of water was dripped on his head.

"What's this?"

After feeling the water droplets on his head, Wang Heng ignored what was under his feet and looked up. What he saw startled him greatly!

Because he could finally see the things inside the cave clearly, and he could also clearly see what the dripping thing above his head was.

It turns out that what was dripping down wasn't water at all, but blood!

All that could be seen was a corpse hanging upside down above his head. The corpse's fatal wound was in its head, and the blood that had just dripped down was dripping from the corpse's head!

What frightened him even more was that Wang Heng found the corpse to be very familiar!

"ah!!!"

"Wang Heng, what are you doing? Having another nightmare?"

A scream suddenly came from inside a tent. A man was shouting in his sleep, which woke up everyone else in the same tent.

"Wang Heng, what's wrong?"

Liu Xue, Wang Heng's companion, was woken up by Wang Heng's shouting and went to wake Wang Heng, who was still struggling in his dream: "Hey bro, what's wrong with you? Why have you been having nightmares lately?"

After being called a few times by Liu Xue, Wang Heng woke up. He was covered in sweat and stared at Liu Xue with terrified eyes, saying, "I...I had another nightmare..."

"Yeah, you had another nightmare. How can a grown man like you be so timid? And have nightmares every day."

Liu Xue turned on his flashlight, glanced at his watch, and said, "Okay, it's still early, only a little past five. Let's sleep a little longer."

Wang Heng stared blankly at Liu Xue for a few moments after hearing his words. Then, as if he had just thought of something, he suddenly shuddered and said, "Liu Xue, why don't we just not go? I've heard that this place is very dangerous. We're just looking for a little fortune; there's no need to risk our lives."

"No, we've come this far, we're almost there, why are you saying you want to leave now?"

Upon hearing Wang Heng's words, Liu Xue frowned and disagreed, saying, "You're just too timid. When we used to work in the fields, you were too afraid to go down and only wanted to hold the rope from above. But this time is different. We finally managed to get in touch with the big boss. If this deal goes through, we won't have to work anymore. You should know that this deal is guaranteed to make money."

"But..."

Wang Heng wanted to say something more, but Liu Xue interrupted him.

Liu Xue, with a sour face, said, "No, I will not agree to go back. It has come to this point, I will not go back. If you want to go back, then go back by yourself."

Seeing Liu Xue's determined look, Wang Heng finally fell silent.

"Wang Heng, listen to your brother. After this, we won't have to do this anymore. I've heard that there are a lot of good things in this place."

After seeing Wang Heng's compromise, Liu Xue's tone softened considerably. He coaxed Wang Heng, saying, "We're from the same hometown, just trust me and do a good job this time."

“Brother, it’s not that I don’t believe you,” Wang Heng hesitated, wondering whether to tell her about his dream. “I’m just so scared. I’ve been having nightmares for the past two days.”

"It's okay, you're just overthinking things. Don't think so much, take advantage of the time you still have and get some more sleep."

Liu Xue then crawled into his sleeping bag and said, "Go to sleep, we'll continue our journey when it gets light."

"Okay, fine."

Seeing Liu Xue's expression, Wang Heng decided not to tell him about the content of his nightmare.

"Get up! Time to eat! Time to eat!"

Yue Jiuxing, who was sleeping soundly in the tent, was suddenly woken up. She heard people outside calling her to get up and eat, so she rubbed her eyes and got up.

She first checked the time on her phone and found that it was already past seven in the morning. She then reached out and nudged Yue Jiuyue, who was sleeping next to her, and said, "Get up, Jiuyue, time to eat."

"Hmm~"

Yue Jiuyue rolled over in her sleeping bag: "I don't want to get up. Why don't you go and get me some breakfast?"

"Stop pretending! Get up and eat right now. I'm not helping you. Hurry up."

Yue Jiuxing refused to help Yue Jiuyue pack her food. She got up and dressed herself, then opened the tent and went outside. Before leaving, she said, "Let's go, hurry up."

As Yue Jiuxing left, she ran into Sister Qing, who had already gotten up, on the way.

Sister Qing got up very early to help with the cooking. They ate noodles for breakfast today. Eating a bowl of hot noodles in the morning is indeed very comforting.

After Yue Jiuxing left, Yue Jiuyue rummaged around in her sleeping bag again, and finally decided to get up and go eat.

"Nine Stars, I'm out."
