Jie Ye sent the fat cat back and snapped his fingers under Chu Mu's eyes: "Not bad, you look good like this."
Chu Mu didn't know what this man was going to do next.
"I mean," Xie also considered his words, "you don't have to laugh when you don't want to. In front of me, you look like this anyway."
Chu Mu tilted his head: [So what exactly does the big idiot want to express? ]
"..." Jie tried several times but couldn't say the words "I like the real you". Finally, he shouted angrily and walked forward in silence.
Chu Mu poked Sanhua's soft belly: [I really don't understand what's inside that stupid big guy's head? Besides the yellow waste, what other structures are there?]
{Maybe he got eaten by zombies, meow.} Lao Ba joked, keeping up with the trend.
【No.】
The Jie in front also pricked up his ears.
[It was eaten by a dung beetle.]
"Pfft..." Lin Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chu Mu looked over in confusion.
"No..." Lin Zhao wiped the corner of his eyes under Jie Ye's fierce glare. "I'm just happy to finally get rid of those hypocritical guys outside."
Chu Mu nodded, holding the cat's front legs and playing with them: "Old Eight, we shouldn't run into Xibeihuo and the others again, right?"
{Let me check.}
The cat's eyes suddenly became dull, and the whole cat looked like a toy with the stop button pressed.
More than ten seconds later——
Ah, I'm sorry to disappoint you...
After hearing Lao Ba's explanation, Chu Mu was shocked: [She really deserves to be the heroine. Even in this state, she still ran into a tomb on the way to escape? ]
[What? I wasn't chased by monsters, didn't have to crawl through a hole, and easily entered the Tomb of the Hidden King? ?]
[This development is as shameless as ever.]
Chu Mu felt emotional, while Jie Ye and Lin Zhao looked at each other and exchanged glances.
"Let's stop for a moment," Lin Zhao raised her hand. "Going blindly like this won't work. We need to find a way."
What is certain now is that this should be the inside of the mountain.
This place is so huge that it makes your scalp tingle. You have no idea where the road under your feet will lead to.
Especially in this environment completely surrounded by darkness, it seems even more quiet and terrifying.
Jie didn't know when he came to Chu Mu's side again, and without saying anything, he shook his hand: "Don't be afraid, there is always a way out."
Chu Mu put on the Buddhist beads on his wrist again. At this time, the faint light covering the beads had completely disappeared.
Xie Ye's fingertips would occasionally touch the bracelet, which once again covered his handsome face with awkward dissatisfaction.
"The flashlight is running out of battery." Lin Zhao's flashlight flashed twice and then went out completely. The one in Lu Yan's hand also went out at about the same time.
"No," Lin Zhao muttered softly, "Lv Yan's battery is more than sufficient. It shouldn't be blacking out by now—unless there's something strange going on here."
Jie also pulled Chu Mu closer to his arms: "Little mute, do you still have light?"
Chu Mu took out a high-intensity flashlight as if by magic and shone it into the darkness ahead.
"What is that?" The talkative Lu Yan asked, pointing to a black stone tablet ten meters away.
"Is there an underground river behind the stone tablet? No wonder there is the sound of water."
Jie Ye squeezed Chu Mu's palm again and said, "Go and take a look."
…
Only when they approached the stone tablet did they truly discover its specialness.
[This is man-made and polished very smoothly.] Chu Mu touched the surface of the stone tablet, and a circle of black ash quickly appeared on his fingers.
"Hiss--" A sharp pain came from the fingertips, and Chu Mu instinctively cried out in pain.
"What's wrong?" Jie Ye nervously grabbed Chu Mu's hand. "Ah, it's bleeding! Are you stupid? You touch everything you see? Sister Lin Zhao, give me some Yunnan Baiyao."
She was cursing, but she was very gentle when applying medicine to him.
Chu Mu's eyes were fixed on the stone tablet.
"What are you looking at, little mute—" Jie also followed Chu Mu's gaze and looked over, "This is..."
I saw that the black layer on the black stone tablet, which was originally empty, was rapidly peeling off, revealing the true appearance of the stone tablet.
"There's writing on it," Lin Zhao leaned over. "What does it say?"
The words on the stone tablet did not belong to any known writing system. Chu Mu tilted his head and looked at it for a long time but still couldn't recognize it.
"Regret." Jie Ye suddenly spoke, "It's the word regret in big and small sizes."
[Hey, this big fool, could it be possible that he knows ancient characters?]
"Don't be fooled by our young master Jie's dandy appearance; he's actually a top student," Lin Zhao said with a hint of pride. "He definitely knows the most ancient Chinese characters in the country."
Xie did not become complacent due to Lin Zhao's praise. His face was unusually solemn. "No, these characters do not belong to any of my cognitive abilities. I just—recognize them instinctively."
Lin Zhao frowned, feeling somewhat helpless.
Chu Mu's attention was not on Jie Ye. He reached out to touch the dark red inscriptions, and a strange picture suddenly flashed through his mind -
A man with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair knelt in front of the stone tablet, carving stroke by stroke with a knife.
The handle of the knife was broken, so the man held the blade with his bare hands. Blood dripped from the tip of the knife and seeped into the scratch bit by bit.
thump.
A familiar feeling of suffocation came over me.
Chu Mu took two deep breaths to suppress his palpitations.
"Why did this man write so many words of regret? What on earth made him so regretful?" Lin Zhao asked puzzledly.
"Let's go in and take a look." Jie Ye pointed to the black river a few steps away. "Go in the direction of the water flow, and you should be able to find the way."
The water flow in the underground river was not fast. Lu Yan was a good swimmer, so he jumped into the river to explore the way.
A few minutes later, he emerged: "The water is about three meters deep. I haven't found any foreign objects at the bottom of the river yet. I can rest assured."
"Little mute, how good are you in the water?" Jie Ye took off his leather jacket and put it into the waterproof bag handed to him by Chu Mu. "I don't know how long we have to swim ahead, can you handle it?"
Chu Mu looked at Jie Ye's underwear: [Compared to this...Brother, if you go into the water, wouldn't it be the same as running naked??]
Jie also looked at his own pants and raised his eyebrows: It turns out that the little mute cares so much about my dick. It seems that my kung fu is really top-notch. The little mute can't forget it.
Chu Mu looked at Jie Ye who suddenly became proud, and instinctively took a few steps away.
Xie Ye and the others were originally worried that Chu Mu might not be able to swim, until they saw him swimming as easily as a fish, even faster than Lu Yan...
Jie also licked his lips and whistled: "Wow! Mermaid! Wait a minute!"
