However, having already obtained the items and with a decent haul, Wu Chenxi was about to leave when, in the instant she turned around, she was completely stunned to find that the stone gate that had been there had vanished.
They went up to explore, but there was no trace of the stone gate.
As expected, things weren't going to be that simple. They set up so many obstacles before offering such a huge benefit, all they were waiting for was this moment.
Wu Chenxi pursed her lips, not in a hurry to find an exit. Instead, she first set up a soft couch, created a protective array around herself, and pulled out her blanket, preparing to get a good night's sleep.
As for the concern about whether or not she can get out? Wu Chenxi said that this is not something to worry about right now. She should get enough sleep, eat well, and then wait and see.
In this quiet place, with no noise around, it is indeed a good place to sleep.
Wu Chenxi didn't know exactly how long she had slept, but when she woke up she felt exceptionally refreshed. The quality of her sleep was truly remarkable.
He stretched and took off the jade pendant from his neck. With a flick of his wrist, two souls appeared before him.
"Master Wu, where are we?" Ye Ajin and the others were sealed inside the jade pendant and had no idea about the situation outside.
Wu Chenxi: "This is the tomb chamber. Now, can you look around and see if there are any other tomb chambers nearby?"
She doesn't have X-ray vision, nor does she want to search for the exit inch by inch, so she hired a helper.
Ye Ajin and Fang Qinghe both found it strange. "Is this a tomb?" It looked more like a place of confinement, without any yin energy.
Wu Chenxi said, "...Perhaps the owner of this tomb has already been reincarnated."
First, I need to find the exit; I have to get out of this awful place as soon as possible.
The main problem was that her apprentice wasn't preparing enough food for her anymore, and if she didn't go out soon, she didn't want to end up like everyone else, eating dry rations every day.
Fang Qinghe and the others immediately split up and acted, their souls flying through the sky and through walls, keeping them very busy.
Fang Qinghe brought good news: "Found it! Right under your feet, there's an exit. Follow it to the end, and you'll find a cave. But the switch is strangely located outside."
A moment later, Ye Ajin also stopped in front of her. "The wall here is very problematic. You can't run more than a few meters, but going up is no problem. There's a mountain just twenty meters above the soil layer."
This is really deep; trying to get out from the top is simply wishful thinking.
It seems the only exit is right under our feet, but the switch is underneath.
"There's nothing we can do to help with that," Fang Qinghe knew the answer without even thinking; they couldn't touch the physical entity at all.
"Then where is the path I just came from?" Wu Chenxi asked, pointing to the stone wall behind her.
“I didn’t see the door you mentioned,” Ye Ajin shook his head. “I walked through this wall for a long time, but it was still just mud.”
Wu Chenxi stared thoughtfully at the four walls. It seemed that the real tampering was not done here, but behind these stone walls.
After putting Fang Qinghe and the others back into the jade pendant, Wu Chenxi began to tinker with it.
According to Fang Qinghe's description, she first drew a circle around the exit before throwing out the puppet that her grandfather had passed down to her.
It is said that he went through great hardships to find this puppet, and it is the only one in existence.
"Amu, dig up this patch of ground."
Without saying a word, the puppet Amu raised his fist and began to pound it again and again.
With each hammer blow, the entire tomb shook, and the soil on the ceiling began to fall loosely.
Wu Chenxi held up an umbrella, watching this scene with a blank expression.
Hopefully, this guy can open the passage before the tomb collapses.
She had considered other methods, but this was the gentlest one.
Amu didn't know what material it was made of, but every punch he threw left a half-meter deep crater, but the changes became less and less as the game progressed.
Wu Chenxi ordered Amu to stop, walked to the pit he had dug out, brushed off the dust, and surprisingly found a layer of spiritual energy protecting the stone below.
"This senior is far too shrewd. Could it be that he is a prophet?" Wu Chenxi didn't know whether to be angry or cry. This was simply a way to trap people here and leave them no way out.
"Passed," a cheerful, aged voice rang out, and the passage in front of them suddenly opened.
Wu Chenxi, “…” What did she just say? Why did she suddenly turn it on?
"Amu, did something just trigger you?"
After saying that, she slapped her forehead hard. "I must have been driven crazy by being locked up. What could you possibly know?"
After saying that, he put Amu back and recalled every detail from before.
Oh right, she seemed to have praised her senior just now, so is she trying to hear more compliments?
Regardless of the outcome, being able to leave this place is great news for her.
I brushed the dust off my clothes, put away my umbrella, and started walking downstairs.
Just as Fang Qinghe and the others had said, there was a cave below. As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she felt the mountain breeze.
Just as I was wondering if the others had left safely, I discovered that there were several stone gates around me...
So this is the exit, and those stone doors...
Wu Chenxi smiled and silently recalled the direction from which these people had entered the stone gate.
Li Ai seemed to have chosen the middle door, walked over, and was about to reach out to touch the mechanism when she pulled her hand back.
I wonder if this person has reached the tomb chamber yet? What if she lets the person out...?
Just thinking about this possibility makes the things inside the tomb seem less appealing.
Without hesitation, he turned and left, found the entrance to Jinshan, pressed the button, and a rumbling sound was particularly jarring in the cave.
Once the dust had settled, Hua Xiangyun cautiously called out, "Uncle Jinshan?"
Jinshan, who was initially troubled, grinned upon hearing the voice and said, "I'm here."
The moment he finished speaking, he appeared on the stone gate. His dusty and dirty appearance made him look like a clay figure if it weren't for his voice.
"I was thinking I was going to be trapped here and die, but you saved my life." Jinshan didn't stay inside any longer and started walking down.
"Where are the others? Have they come out yet?"
Wu Chenxi: "I didn't see you. I came straight here to find you as soon as I came out."
Jinshan immediately understood what was going on; the others must still be trapped inside.
This time, Wu Chenxi was lucky to find a way out; otherwise, he doesn't know how long he would have been trapped.
He rummaged through his storage bag, picked out two magical artifacts, and tossed them to Wu Chenxi. "Uncle-Master, thank you for saving my life. Keep these for self-defense."
Wu Chenxi didn't stand on ceremony at all and accepted it. "Uncle-Master, you flatter me. I believe that even without my help, you will be able to get out of this soon."
However, since there are benefits to it, I won't refuse.
