Chapter 763 - To See In A New Light (1/2)
“What? Going around in circles?! Why didn’t you say so earlier?!” the other exorcists shouted.
That exorcist spoke in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “I have also just realized this. Keep your voice down. Take out your Chinese talisman, then spin yourself three times at your place before walking forward.”
Going around in circles was not something difficult to solve.
However, it was frightening because they would be left forever in the place if they could not break through this obstacle. They would remain in the same place walking round and round for years.
Luckily, they were exorcists who knew how to face this kind of problem.
Everyone quickly opened their bags and prepared to cast their spells.
Then, they suddenly realized that the Chinese talismans in their bags were all gone!
“How can this be? Where are my Chinese talismans?”
“Mine is gone too!”
“Search again!”
“I still can’t find any!”
Zhuge Yun raised his head, his face was sweating. The situation was clear: somebody played tricks on them by taking away their Chinese talismans.
“Who did this? Why did they do this?” Zhuge Yun punched the ground.
Helian Wei Wei was barely surprised. “This is a contest, of course, there would be many indecent tricks. Young Master Yun, you should get used to these things.”
“I…” Zhuge Yun was always steady and calm but he had never thought of hurting anyone. Although he already knew the contest would not be easy, he never expected someone to be this despicable. In the tomb, taking all the Chinese talismans away meant to take their lives away!
Helian Wei Wei looked around her then stood up and patted the dust on her hands away. “There were nine of us when we departed, but there’s only eight of us now. Someone must have noticed something wrong and escaped earlier. It seems like he has prepared well for this.”
The exorcists somehow knew who did this trick. They must be someone from the Ni family or the Lin family. Only these two families would want to prevent the Zhuge family from obtaining victory. Usually, a method this cruel could only be ordered by the head of the family.
If this was by the hands of the Ni family, then this incident was too horrifying.
They trusted Ni Biao so much and absolutely admired him as their role model of an exorcist!
“It couldn’t be the Ni family!” A young exorcist said while biting his lips. He refused to admit his own guess.
Helian Wei Wei looked at him and said nonchalantly, “It doesn’t matter who did it now.”
“True.” The elderly exorcists always looked steady and calm. “Little Brother Wei was right, it doesn’t matter who did the trick. For now, we should be concerned about getting ourselves out.”
Without Chinese talismans, they were like the meat on the chopping board. Regardless of any problems they encountered, it could only lead them to be harmed by others.
Moreover, the inside of the tomb was unlike the outside world. No one could expect what would happen next.
Facing the fear of the unknown made everyone feel the coldness coming from the bottom of their minds, sending chills down their spine. There was no wind in the tomb but they felt like they were followed by someone.
The exorcists dared not speak anymore, but the silence only remained for a while before the young exorcist, Xiao Ling seemed to have heard some noise.
With a little crying tone, he turned his head back and asked in doubt, “Why are you crying?”
Crying? Helian Wei Wei suddenly looked serious in her eyes. She did not answer but roll up her long sleeves slightly and tightened her grip on the s.h.i.+ning Exorcist Blade in her palm.
She was not sure if Xiao Ling really heard somebody crying.
