Vol 5 Chapter 4-1 (2/2)

Zheng laughed. ”This is our problem, we can't drag you in... Also, you better not get too close with those Americans...”

O'Connell shrugged. ”The Americans weren't lucky today. It seems like three of their guides were... melted.”

”Melted?” Evelyn and Jonathan asked.

”Yes, with acid. They triggered ancient traps.”

Zheng suddenly laughed. ”There are true curses here and maybe ghosts or spirits.”

O'Connell and the other two were silent for a bit then Evelyn yelled. ”Please. There are no ghosts or curses in the world. I only believe what I see.”

Jie came over and said. ”We have seen real ghosts with our eyes. They're so, so scary... That ghost killed a lot of our former team members. If it wasn't luck, we might have died also. Haha...”

Lan said. ”Jie, that's enough... Evelyn, it will be fine. Don't believe him. He was just joking... Jie, do you want to lose points?”

Jie laughed then shrugged. Zheng wanted to say something then suddenly he heard a large amount of horse footsteps, like over a hundred people were riding toward them.

Their expressions turned and Zheng stood up immediately. ”Prepare your weapons... There's probably going to be a battle.”

Just as he finished talking, ten knights in black robes came out from behind the pillars. A few of the guides the Americans hired immediately fell to the ground. The knights began shooting at the people in the camps and some of them even burned their camps and supplies with torches.

Zheng was the first to respond. He took out a submachine gun and sprayed at them. The knights in the front immediately fell off their horses. Then Jie and Zero also took out their guns and joined. Their weapons were just so much more powerful than the guns in this era. The knights couldn't even get close to them. After another ten corpses, the knights began to back out, leaving behind several dozen bodies and some injured horses.

The guides calmed down then shouted at Zheng's group with thanks. O'Connel and the other two characters looked at them in shock. The Americans just now came out from the tomb and didn't know what happened. They displayed their findings in excitement, a few glass bottles... and a book in black!
