Chapter 39: The string sandwor sandas about to attack their rear, it was hit by a bullet

The neurotoxin quickly felled the sandwor the helicopter

Sweat nearly dripped down from Wu Yun's forehead He patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and said, ”When you get back alive, you can write a novel”

Xiao Chen was panting while his body trembled like a sieve, ”Is it… is it over?”

Zhou Yu let out a sigh, ”It's probably over Let's get down”

When he opened the cabin door, Xiao Chen tightly gripped onto the safety handrail, unwilling to go outside

Actually, not even Wu Yun could be sure that it was coun, carefully searching for movement in the sand

On the contrary, Mo Ye ju in the white sand He jumped around for a bit, then looked at Wu Yun with his head askew, as if he didn't understand why Wu Yun was being so cautious

Wu Yun didn't have the patience to wait for Xiao Chen and hauled hiot out of the pilot's seat and shut the helicopter's door

Obediently, Mo Ye scas

Zhou Yu also carried his gun with hiether with Wu Yun, they protected Xiao Chen by sandwiching him between theht spirits? There's soit all up”

Xiao Chen gulped, scared that he would accidentally step on soht spirits all died together”

”Really?” What a strange way to die, Wu Yun thought to himself

When they came to an approximate location, Wu Yun jabbed Xiao Chen with his elbow, ”Get working”

Xiao Chen was flustered, and after groping around for soun

”Hah? You have a gun, Xiao Chen? Did you pass your firearms test? I don't care if you shoot yourself, just don't shoot me!” Wu Yun asked, worried

It was actually a speciallydevice

If he ai device would penetrate through the sand and dig down past its layers Pressing another button would allow the device to auto up the sand

”Okay, Xiao Chen, don't listen to Wu Yun, just take the sample”

Xiao Chen didn't want to stay there for a round and pulled the trigger,the device shoot out When the sample was taken, Mo Ye, who had been beside Zhou Yu the whole ti on the corner of Zhou Yu's pants, forcing him to leave

”What is it?” Zhou Yu worriedly asked

Xiao Chen had already deposited the sa orously shook his head, as if he didn't want them to take back the samples of the remains

”Is there a problem with the sample?” Zhou Yu frowned

Mo Ye nodded

”Do we need to take theain?” Xiao Chen looked dismayed

Just as Xiao Chen shi+fted his stance, the sand beneath their feet suddenly started to sink Xiao Chen i and he let out a shriek, ”Ahh—”

”Xiao Chen!”

Just when Wu Yun was about to pull him out, the radius of the sinkhole started to widened, also carrying Wu Yun along with it

Zhou Yu ran away froe, but he couldn't match up to the speed of the quicksand and also fell into it Mo Ye leaped up and bit down on his shoulder, but he was also standing on the quicksand and couldn't use any strength Both of theether

There was an empty space underneath the sand, and when Xiao Chen had taken the sa the layer of sand It caved in and the sand had swept doards, just in time for them to fall in with it

Wu Yun stood up with his mouth full of sand Xiao Chen was not too far away, practically buried in the sand Wu Yun quickly pulled him out and patted his cheeks, ”Hey! Idiot! Get up! pronto, if you don't want to get buried in here!”

A steady flow of sand was spilling in, soon about to engulf the entire place The sand buried Zhou Yu completely, but luckily, Mo Ye was there to pull him out

Zhou Yu had alround and took big, gasping breaths while coughing and spitting out the sand in histhe space Wu Yun hauled Zhou Yu up ”Don't stop! We'll get stuck in the quicksand!”

Zhou Yu looked up and saw that everything was dark He couldn't make out how spacious the cavern was or if there was another exit

Zhou Yu took out an oxygen mask from his backpack and put it on

Wu Yun was quick to understand Zhou Yu'sthat it was sure to contain harot in with theh to keep the on top of a vast expanse of skeletal re pattern It was evident that they had experienced a brutal battle before their deaths—not against a foreign foe, but against other night spirits

Xiao Chen looked surprised He was about to take a saed hi die?”

The quicksand was sloing up the bones of the night spirits and had even reached up to Xiao Chen's knees

Xiao Chen ca a great distance away, the quicksand finally could not reach them anymore Xiao Chen's heart al for air Wu Yun and Zhou Yu stopped and took out light sticks fro theht finally appeared in the darkness

The place was bigger than they had thought

Wu Yun snorted, “I hate caves I hate caves the most Ever since Elpis's cave, I started to really hate this kind of claustrophobic space!”

Zhou Yu raised his light stick and found that there were also ht spirit skeletons in this cave He looked down at Mo Ye, as squatting beside hiht be scared After all, this was the first time he'd seen the remains of his own race It was also the first ti abilities, his race was not i in with eyes as round as ht spirits are organis abilities, it's inconceivable that they would all die out like this!”

The place was too silent It was as if they had entered into the ht spirits, where it was dry but dark The departed souls of the night spirits reseatekeepers of hell

Zhou Yu was suspicious, but Mo Ye didn't see around him He only looked up at Zhou Yu In the darkness, his round eyes appeared particularly bright, just like a weak flame in the dark that could burn up the entire place at any ti to take a saloves He half-kneeled in front of a night spirit's skeleton and put its bone fragments into the sampler

Wu Yun looked around forlornly “Who cares about the sah the cave entrance, and it's already been blocked by the quicksand There aren't any other exits! If we don't suffocate in here, then we'll starve to death “

Xiao Chen's eager face quickly fell”What? We're going to starve in here? And suffocate? Let's hurry up and figure out how to get out of here!”

“Calht spirits were able to come in here so there h There h”

At Zhou Yu's words, Xiao Chen finally calet in? It couldn't be through that opening, that was an accident! So that o look for it right now!”

“What are you doing, Zhou Yu?! I just wanted to scare hiretfully

”Now's not the tih there should be another entrance here, the night spirits have been dead for tens of thousands of years; it would be a big problem if that entrance isn't here anymore”

Zhou Yu walked up to the cave's stone walls with his light stick, searching inch by inch for any cracks along the surface, as well as any clues on how they could get out

Mo Ye followed by his side, occasionally stepping over the reht of the

Every ti ti experience

Suddenly, Mo Ye bit down on a corner of Zhou Yu's pants and started to shake it wildly Zhou Yu followed Mo Ye's line of sight and sahat appeared to be tiny bugs crawling on the ground He half-kneeled down on the ground and shone his light stick over theanis in froht spirits' bones, they carried back a rew in the crevices of the stone wall opposite to them

Zhou Yu stood up and carefully examined the rubble All the other stone walls were in one piece, yet the rocks in this area were all broken up

”Wu Yun! Wu Yun! Come here! I think I found a way out!”

Wu Yun also exa the rubble once with the light stick, he sighed regretfully, ”Are you sure, Zhou Yu? This is the exit? Are we really that desperate to be reborn again?!”

”Why is this happening? It's blocked!” Xiao Chen circled around and was almost at the point of tears

”Huot at this point, let's see if we can ht stick and stretched his hands and wrists It see the rocks

“I think it wouldn't be a bad deal at all if the rocks collapsed and crushed us halfway through!”

Although that's what Wu Yun said, he still intended to help out Zhou Yu He also understood the sa
