"I should be able to jump out." Zu An said with a smile as he was about to reach the ground. He could feel that there was still a lot of room for him to rise, and he was sure that he could carry Pei Mianman out later without any problem.
"Watch out!" Pei Mianman's voice cried out from below.
Suddenly, with a loud bang, he felt a sharp pain on the top of his head, and his ears were ringing, as if he had accidentally bumped his head into a tempered glass door in a shopping mall in his previous life.
If it weren't for his incredibly resilient body, he would probably have been bleeding profusely from the head injury in that instant.
He screamed and fell from mid-air. Pei Mianman rushed to catch him, but she was too injured to have the strength, and the two of them soon fell to the ground together.
Zuan hurriedly looked up at the sky, as he seemed to have just vaguely seen a layer of blue light above his head.
Sure enough, a transparent seal appeared out of thin air at the top of the pit. The pale blue runes on it were extremely strange, completely different from the rune style he had seen in this world. However, they looked vaguely familiar. What could they be?
His mind raced, and suddenly he exclaimed with delight, "I remember now, it's the Taotie pattern!"
I've seen similar patterns on many bronze artifacts unearthed from the Shang and Zhou dynasties in museums and television documentaries. Some call them "Taotie patterns," while others call them "beast patterns." They all mean roughly the same thing.
"Could you please take your hand away?" came an impatient voice.
Zu An looked down and realized that he had fallen right on Pei Mianman. Because of the fall, he instinctively tried to brace himself with one hand, which ended up pressing against Pei Mianman's chest.
"So soft!"
That was Zu'an's first thought.
"It's huge!"
At that moment, Zu'an had his second thought, but he quickly came to his senses and hurriedly let go: "Uh, would you believe me if I said I didn't mean it?"
“I know.” Pei Mianman’s face flushed slightly as she stood up again with his help.
Now it was Zuan's turn to be dumbfounded. She wasn't angry at all? You know, in the past, when someone tried to pretend to accidentally hit her in the academy, she chased them down with her black flames for a long time before the teacher had to step in to save them.
"How could there be a seal up there?" Pei Mianman seemed completely unconcerned, continuing to stare at the ceiling. "We clearly fell down from there just now."
As they spoke, the seal above their heads, which was flashing with blue light, slowly dissipated and eventually became transparent again. But everyone knew that it was still there and would reappear once it was triggered.
"It seems we can only look for another way out in this pit." Zuan could feel that the seal above his head was almost identical to the previous stone tablet, and it was something they couldn't break with their power.
Pei Mianman hummed in response, about to reply, when her voice suddenly trembled: "Why are the eyes of those skeletons over there glowing..."
