C276 (1/2)

Shi Lei laughed bitterly.

Sometimes, a person's fate was just that miserable and helpless. He obviously had a better choice, but in the end, he had to walk into such an alley and couldn't leave.

It had been the same back at the top of the mountain, but now it was the same.

Shi Lei really couldn't think of any other excuse for his recklessness.

Since it was already like this, Shi Lei had no other way. To be able to find a way to get out of here before Xiu Er and the others start to move, this matter would be forgotten.

However, if there was no other way, then he would have to spend his whole life in this cave.

From the looks of it, the corpses in the cave were the same as Shi Lei, even though he did not know their purpose for doing this.

However, there was still one thing that Shi Lei could not figure out. When he had clearly entered the place, he had pushed the stone tablet down, but who exactly was the one who did the stone tablet that suddenly appeared?

Could it be that someone had been watching him all this time?

Shi Lei could not help but shiver. This matter, the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it felt.

Looking around, Shi Lei tried to find the pair of eyes that had been staring at him the entire time, but to no avail.

Since he couldn't think of a solution, he could only continue walking back.

Shi Lei returned, this time it was the same as the first time he came in. There were so many winding paths that had already disappeared, leaving only a straight corridor.

It was still that pile of gold, silver, and jewelry, and also those human bones. Shi Lei felt a chill when he looked at them, as if he could feel a large amount of yin energy pouring into his body.

However, even though the Pure Yang Body brought a lot of trouble to Shi Lei, at this time, it had the effect of protecting Shi Lei.

Behind the skeleton was an empty space.

He didn't know how long he had walked, but when Shi Lei saw the light again, he felt extremely exhausted.

There were rows of candles here, and the air inside the cave seemed thin. However, the light from these candles illuminated the entire cave.

Shi Lei really did not think that there would actually be an existence such as this on the mountain side of Red Cliff Mountain.

But no matter what was said, coming here, if he did not continue to explore, then Shi Lei's trip would have been in vain.

Since the outcome had already been decided, Shi Lei's state of mind, from the previous panic, became much calmer. There was only death for all of them, and knowing where this place was before his death, he felt much more at ease.

After passing through a path surrounded by candles, he saw a huge throne in front of him. There was actually a white-haired old man sitting on it.

”Damn, there are actually people living here?”

Shi Lei was shocked, he had never thought that there would be living people in this damned place.

”You're here.”

After the old man heard Shi Lei's voice, he slowly raised his head and looked at him as he spoke slowly.

Although they were separated by a long distance, at least a hundred metres, Shi Lei kept feeling that the old man's eyes were like daggers, dashing towards him with a swoosh, and floating in front of his eyes.

”I've been waiting for you.”

”Who are you? ”Why did you say you were waiting for me?”

Shi Lei really didn't understand.

For a plot like this, it was usually something that only the male lead in the novel would go through. Anything that he wanted to do would be the beginning of a fortuitous encounter.

”From the moment you entered, I already knew of your existence. You being trapped here is naturally also my doing.”
