The huge centipede in front of us was finally knocked down by us. Seeing that such a big centipede could be knocked down by us, the group of people felt really happy in their hearts.
After Jack finally confirmed that the centipede was indeed dead, the couple began to relax and even started joking with each other.
Thinking that they had been walking for such a long time and had just had a fierce battle with the huge centipede in front of them, everyone was tired.
Time passed by minute by minute, and we were so tired that we sat on the ground without paying any attention to any details. All that rang in our minds were scenes from the past.
Seeing Xiao Ding still sitting beside me in a state of shock, I felt a little conflicted and asked cautiously:
"Didn't I just tell you to stay with Qin Lan? How did you two get separated? Don't do this again next time."
After hearing what I said, Xiao Ding's face looked extremely guilty, but after thinking about it for a while, he replied:
"I don't know what happened, but as I was walking, I felt like someone was pulling me from behind! Then I found this giant centipede."
"At that time, I really didn't have time to tell you, so I could only desperately fight with this centipede. When I turned around again, I found that you had already gone far away."
After hearing these words, I couldn't help but feel guilty in my heart, because it should have been my responsibility to take good care of Xiao Ding, but I failed in my duty.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ding continued scratching his head and said, "This centipede is simply too huge, and you guys have already left. I have no other options."
"So, I awakened my special ability without even thinking about it. But I didn't expect that this centipede might be too powerful. Even if I awakened my special ability, I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
Jack's face already had countless scratches, and now Xiao Ding's extremely smooth face also had scratches, which really made me feel extremely guilty.
Just when I was feeling extremely guilty in my heart, the expression on Xiao Ding's face next to me looked extremely sad.
He said to me cautiously, "I know I did promise you last time to follow your instructions before using my powers! But I really don't have time this time."
"If I could have caught up, I would have done so long ago. How could I have been struggling with that stinky centipede alone for so long?"
After hearing these words, I suddenly understood something. No wonder the other party had been afraid to look me in the eye since just now. It turned out that he was blaming himself.
After realizing this, I felt extremely regretful from the bottom of my heart. Perhaps I shouldn't have restricted Xiao Ding from using his abilities in the first place.
The situation became very awkward in an instant. Now I really didn't know what I should do, nor did I know what to say to break the silence.
After a long time, I could only touch his head and say, "I know you've been a very obedient child from the beginning to the end. Don't worry, everything will be fine."
"You did the right thing this time. If you hadn't awakened your powers then, I might never have seen you again. You are very brave."
Originally, Xiao Ding thought that I would be furious after hearing these words, but he didn't expect that after hearing these words, I would just comfort the other person so gently.
He stayed like that quietly for a while before nodding his head vigorously. The expression on his face was so resolute that I felt he had grown up in an instant.
Just as the two of us were lying quietly resting, we suddenly heard a cry from the side, and then Jack's voice rang out beside me:
"Come here quickly. I found out there's a reason why this centipede can grow so big. This time we're really going to get a great treasure."
After hearing this, I felt a little puzzled. I was already so exhausted at the moment, so what kind of good treasure could I get?
After I slowly approached with such doubts, I found that Jack in front of me actually had a bead in his hand, and this bead was just taken out of the centipede's body.
The beads emitted a faint light. Although this light could not be compared with that in the daytime, it was so eye-catching in the dark cave.
When I saw this bead, I couldn't help but play with it, because I always felt that I had seen this bead somewhere before, but I couldn't tell where.
At this time, Jack said with joy, "What a good thing! I never thought we would get this treasure by accident."
After Jack said this, he looked at the faces of the crowd, all of whom had expressions of great doubt, and continued to explain:
"This thing is called the Netherworld Pearl. It's the key to opening the tomb. If we don't have this pearl, we won't be able to open the coffin even if we open the tomb."
After hearing this, I suddenly understood in my heart, no wonder Jack's face looked so happy when he saw this bead just now.
