Chapter 20 - Ancient Sword Tomb (1/2)

Translator: Atlas StudiosEditor: Atlas Studios

The skeleton carriage walked in the darkness.

This darkness was like a black hole. There was no trace of light at all. It was like a dream.

Meanwhile, the skulls of two skeletal warhorses were raised extremely high, and their limbs only moved slightly, as if they were stepping on a regular node. For a moment, their speed soared, but the few people in the carriage did not notice it at all.

After the carriage sped up, images began to emerge from the mountain cave…

Inside the carriage, Liu Chuan and the others were uneasy, but there was nothing they could do.

“I think we’ve entered the ancient ruins. This might be an opportunity for us,” said Lin Sisi seriously as she looked at everyone.

“The ancient ruins?”

The others were also stunned when they heard that. Then, they reacted.

“That’s right. It might really be the ancient ruins. We have struck it rich.” Monkey snapped out of his daze and his expression turned from worry to joy.

Following that, Monkey rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, “Could I be the legendary Son of Heaven?”

Everyone was silent.

Please get your facts straight…

“That’s great. When I go out, I’ll be able to eat a lot of delicious food again. Sigh, I brought too little milk tea this time. I’m going to run out of milk tea.”

Meanwhile, Wu Zhixin was still the same as before. She had no interest in the ruins. She was only concerned about whether she could still eat good food.

“I heard that there are ancient humans in some of the ancient ruins, but they seem to have some kind of restriction. They cannot appear in the outside world and can only stay in the ruins.”

“Be careful. From what I know, the ancient people in the ruins don’t seem to be very friendly to us. It’s said that the Federal government paid a huge price to exchange for some resources from those ancient people,” said Lin Sisi after a few seconds of silence.

“Of course, it is also because of these resources that we humans can slowly stand firm in the collision with mutant beasts.”

Lin Sisi seemed to know a lot of things.

“Sisi, where did you learn all this from? My grandpa hasn’t even told me about it,” said Wu Zhixin to Lin Sisi.

Lin Sisi smiled and said to Wu Zhixin, “I only read books. I read about this when I was looking for more information. It’s not a big secret. I like to read more books when I’m free.”

“Oh, I usually just eat when I have nothing to do.” Wu Zhixin spoke proudly.

Lin Sisi remained quiet.

Indeed, everyone could tell that Wu Zhixin was telling the truth.

Not long after, Liu Chuan and the others heard the neighing of the skeletal warhorses.

“They’re telling us to get out of here.” Liu Chuan told the others after Dogshit translated for Liu Chuan in his mind.

Monkey was already excited. He lifted the curtain and was about to be the first to alight.

“Let’s go! I’m getting off the carriage! My fortune is about to change! Ancient ruins, I’m coming!”

The few of them just let him be. It didn’t matter if they alighted from the carriage first or later.

Liu Chuan was the last to alight from the carriage. The moment he came down, he saw Monkey bowing to the two skeletal warhorses.

“Thank you, brothers, for taking care of us. Thank you for your hard work. Do you smoke? I have good stuff.”

The two warhorses nodded, indicating that they saw Monkey as a sensible person. Then, they took the Chung Hwa cigarettes from Monkey with their mouths. Monkey even took out a lighter and lit the cigarettes for the two horses.

Monkey had actually offered the horses cigarettes.

Liu Chuan was rendered speechless. What was going on? Monkey had really managed to suck up to them. They could even smoke when they were only left with bones.

Liu Chuan and the other two watched as Monkey and the two horses were smoking at the side…

Speaking of which, as soon as the hoses put the cigarettes into their mouths, the smoke they inhaled came out from the top of their heads. What was the point…

“Brothers, you can have these two packs of Chung Hwa cigarettes. Hey, can you give me some of that?” Monkey handed them cigarettes as he hinted at some benefits.
