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 483 The Black Hand

Chapter 483:

After dividing the treasures inside the tomb, everyone covered the body back in the coffin and prepared to leave.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to go so smoothly this time. Look, this treasure of mine is definitely worth a lot of money!"

Uncle Liu was holding a large treasure chest. He pointed to the pearl necklace and other items inside and said, "Hehe, once we get out of here, I'll exchange them all for money, so I won't have to do these things anymore."

"Me too, doing something like this is really despicable. I wouldn't have done it if it weren't to pay off my debts."

Old Song chimed in, "After this job, I'll retire from this life. Sigh, but I wonder if the boss's illness is cured yet?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the big boss behind him and asked, "Boss, did you feel any better after eating that coffin-shaped Ganoderma?"

"I don't know, it's just... ugh... I feel like throwing up."

The big boss, for some unknown reason, felt nauseous and wanted to vomit after eating the coffin-shaped Ganoderma lucidum. Perhaps he found the Ganoderma lucidum too disgusting. He tried to hold it in for a few times, but finally couldn't, and with a "whoosh," he squatted in the corner and vomited.

"Boss, are you alright?"

When Sister Qing saw her boss's condition, she was very worried. After he finished vomiting, she quickly took some mineral water and went up to him.

"Ugh~"

The big boss was vomiting violently, and everyone was a little worried that he might have been poisoned. When he couldn't vomit anymore, they gathered around to check on him.

"Boss, are you alright? Did you get poisoned from eating that coffin-shaped Ganoderma lucidum?"

"Boss, are you alright? That Ganoderma lucidum might not be safe to eat directly. If you eat it like this, you could really get poisoned."

"Yeah, yeah, I wonder if it will feel better if I throw up..."

...

Everyone was worried that the big boss might have food poisoning as he squatted in the corner. But before they could hear what he said, they saw him clutching his stomach in pain and saying, "I can't take it anymore, I need to go to the toilet, I can't hold it in!"

Without waiting for anyone's reaction, the boss ran straight to a corner of the tomb passage.

Seeing the boss's appearance, everyone guessed that he might have diarrhea, so they awkwardly moved away from that corner. After a while, the boss returned and rejoined the group.

"Phew, I'm back. Thank you everyone. Let's go now."

The big boss returned, looking embarrassed, and then went back to the exit with everyone.

They had already explored the tomb, and the contents were quite good. They hadn't encountered any danger, so they prepared to find the people who had fallen into the trap and then leave.

However, just as they were about to leave, a bizarre incident occurred!

First of all, as they walked along, they suddenly realized that their numbers had decreased!

When they came out, they didn't exit through the original exit, but through a tomb passage with a large arc. The passage turned very quickly and was also narrow. Sometimes, if you walked too slowly, you couldn't even see the people in front of you.

"Oh dear, this dilapidated tomb passage is so long. Xiao Jiu, where's your water? I've finished mine, can you have a sip of yours?"

The person at the very back of the line was turning around to talk to his companions, only to find that there was no one behind him at all; he was the last person there!

"Huh? Xiao Jiu? Where's Xiao Jiu? Where did you go?"

The person at the back felt very strange, so they shone their flashlight behind them. Finding no one there, they asked the person in front, "Hey, have you seen Xiao Jiu? Where did he go?"

"I didn't see it. Wasn't it always behind us?"

The person in front shook their head and said, "Haven't he been following you the whole time?"

As they spoke, the person in front looked ahead and shouted, "Little Jiu!"

"Xiao Jiu isn't here. What happened to him?"

Uncle Liu, who was in front, heard the shout and asked from behind, "What's going on?"

"Oh no! Xiao Jiu seems to have disappeared!"

The people behind shouted.

"Oh no, Xiaojun, where did Xiaojun go?"

"Holy crap, Lao Liu, where did Lao Liu go? He was just here a moment ago!"

After discovering that someone was missing, everyone started checking if the people around them were still there, and they found that several people were actually missing!

Yue Jiuyue and Yue Jiuxing were walking in front this time. After hearing what was said behind them, they were also puzzled. Yue Jiuyue stopped and said, "Stop, let's not go any further. Let's give some numbers and see how many people are left."

After discovering that someone was missing, everyone started to panic, since disappearing in this tomb was definitely not a good thing.

"One, two, three, four... seventeen, eighteen..."

"Are there only eighteen people left now?"

After the count was announced, Sister Qing, who was standing next to Yue Jiuxing, said in horror, "There were thirty of us who came in. Four of us were killed by the bats, and five others fell into the trap. Now there are eighteen of us left, and three are missing..."

What's going on?

The big boss was also puzzled. He said, "Why don't we go back and look for them? Maybe they didn't follow us?"

"Oh, well then, let's go back and look for it."

Uncle Liu said with concern, "I wonder where they went and how they disappeared?"
