586 Intruding into the Tomb (2/2)
Vision was not their true concern, but the cave seemed to be extremely narrow. Magicians who were most vulnerable when their enemies were within melee range; if they did not have defensive spells like turtle shells to protect them, they would simply be overwhelmed by mere zombies pouncing at them!
”If you two aren't going, I'll go myself!” Yu Qingsu clenched her teeth and jumped into the cave.
Mo Fan and Shorty were left wide-eyed at the entrance. They had no clue what was down there at all. Wasn't it simply committing suicide jumping down like that?
”What should we do? Are we going down too?” Shorty looked at Mo Fan, unable to make a decision.
”What choice do we have, let's go down and save them… little Flame Belle, come out!” yelled Mo Fan.
Mo Fan began to cast the Intermediate Star Pattern of the Summoning Element, yet when he was only halfway drawing the Star Pattern, the little Flame Belle had already come out herself, extending her fist into the sky, as if she had come out to save the world.
Mo Fan felt a surge of disgust. He should not have let her watch Ultraman. His Contracted Beast was now suffering from eighth-grader syndrome!
Shorty was completely shocked at her display.
He was not stunned after witnessing Mo Fan's third Element, as those who kept an eye on the rankings surely knew that Mo Fan, who was ranked fifth on the Innate Talent Leaderboard, had three Elements. The problem was, how the Hell did Mo Fan's Contracted Beast come out when he had only drawn half of the Star Pattern?
It didn't make any sense!
”The creature most likely has a lineage related to the Space Element, so she can come and go as she pleases,” explained Mo Fan helplessly.
”Oh, I see… I'm not too fond of going down there. I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to see my son who's going to be born soon,” Shorty expressed his real thoughts.
”Cut the bullshit!' Mo Fan did not give Shorty any chance to complain. He lifted Shorty up and asked Flame Belle to light the path ahead, before jumping into the cave after taking a deep breath.
”Don't...don't do it...”
Shorty was too tiny compared to Mo Fan, who was simply a wild man, dragging Shorty with him into the cave.
The path was straight, more like a well instead of a cave. The place was not covered with soil, but rotting bricks from ancient times. It seemed like someone did build the tomb here in the past!
”Crap, how are we not at the bottom yet!” Shorty was already screaming like a sissy as they fell endlessly in complete darkness.
Little Flame Belle was right below them. The fire erupting from her body was lighting the path, yet there was still no sign of the bottom.
Finally, a chamber came into sight. Mo Fan squatted slightly as he landed, trying to provide some cushion for the impact.
Shorty was not as comfortable as Mo Fan, whose legs were numb from the landing. He immediately cursed t in pain.
”Where's Yu Qingsu?” Mo Fan scanned their surroundings, but found no trace of Qing Lajiao.
”I bet she was dragged away, too. It's not difficult to try and kill the Cloth-wrapped Corpse General on the surface, but now that we're in its territory, we're most likely doomed!” said Shorty, who had been incredibly unwilling to come down here.
”I thought we were going to see undead everywhere down here. In fact, it's quite spacious!” Mo Fan used the light emitted by Flame Belle, the moving light bulb, to check his surroundings.
