Chapter 272.2: Dont Let Go (1/2)

When Tang Doudou saw that he wasn’t very willing to talk about this, she didn’t ask any further. The two of them just continued walking silently below that sarcophagus. Gradually, their footsteps seemed to sync with the knocking some that was coming from the coffin. Just as Tang Doudou was wondering if her soul would end up being pulled away, Mu Ye stopped.

“Wha… what’s wrong?” Tang Doudou saw that he had crouched down and immediately questioned him in concern.

Mu Ye glanced up at her. “The way out.”

Tang Doudou hastily looked down at the stone stabs below her. She saw Mu Ye curl his slender fingers slightly and knocked on the stone stab. After knocking a while, he uncurled his fingers and abruptly hit the ground with his palm.

The stone stab broke like glass. Some long cracks had first appeared before they shattered into pieces to reveal the black hole beneath them.

Mu Ye didn’t say anything and just jumped down.

When Tang Doudou saw that he had jumped down without hesitation, she gritted her teeth and jumped after him.

It wasn’t as far of a fall as she expected. It was only about a meter down, but because she didn’t know how far of a drop it would be, she ended up falling on the ground. Before bothering to get up, she first cried, “Mu Ye!”

Mu Ye extended his hand to her from the darkness. “I’m here.”

Tang Doudou sighed in relief and put her hand in his.

Mu Ye helped her up, but didn’t let go. “The ground is pretty uneven so don’t let go.”

Since he said this, Tang Doudou naturally grabbed his hand tightly and didn’t dare to let go. “Will we be able to get out from here?”

“No.” Mu Ye replied bluntly as he pulled her forward.

Tang Doudou silently grumbled, then what did they come down here for?

“Mu Ye, you still haven’t told me what was with those needles on your neck?” The surroundings were quiet and Mu Ye also moved silently. Although she was holding onto his hand, she was still very scared so she wanted to talk about something to lighten up the atmosphere.

In any case, Mu Ye hadn’t told her not to talk.

Mu Ye was silent for a while before he explained, “Because if you seal all five senses, you wouldn’t die from suffocation if you fall into the water.”

“What if you encountered a man-eating fish… like that sea dragon? Isn’t that too huge of a risk?”

“In this sea region, that sea dragon is the only marine type and it doesn’t touch things that aren’t alive.”

“But didn’t you say earlier that you hadn’t thought you would fall here?” Tang Doudou immediately found the strange part in Mu Ye’s words.
