C5 (1/2)

When I woke up, I was lying on a dry platform.

His whole body was in unbearable pain and his mouth was filled with an extremely bitter and fishy taste. Although he had already woken up, his mind was still muddled. With a groan, he vaguely shouted, ”Water …”

A sweet spring flowed into my mouth as I greedily absorbed it.

”Brother, brother, don't scare me, brother …”

Vaguely, I could hear Saner cry, yet I was unable to respond. I could only sigh in my heart before falling unconscious again.

The reason I'm still alive is because of Saner.

This time, he, who had always been obedient, didn't listen to my orders and fled by himself. After that, I once asked him why he didn't listen to me. He only chuckled at me.

But I know that Saner and I view each other as family.

Relatives had blood thicker than water. They never left.

Even though my battle with the giant serpent was intense, it was also brief. When Saner was able to catch his breath in the water, he immediately used his own created style of kicking dogs and rushed over, just in time to see me near the edge of death.

Saner likes to be silly, but he isn't stupid. After he caught me in the water, it was difficult for him to take half a step forward, let alone drag me here, but in the end, he still did it. How do you think he did it?

Let me tell you this, this kid actually used the most unsophisticated method, which is to carry me on his shoulders and drag the snake's corpse with each step he takes. He held back his breath for almost three minutes and dragged me and the snake into the room.

As for me, due to the three minutes of suffocation, my injuries worsened and I completely fell into a coma.

This tomb is exactly as I thought, using the design of the tomb in the tomb, passing through is the inner tomb. This way, even if the outside of the tomb is being submerged by a vast sea, as long as you pass through this door, it will be impossible to enter.

The design of this building is based on the principle of vacuum, which shows that the wisdom of the ancients is not something we can underestimate.

A few days later, I finally woke up completely.

The wounds on his body were all scarred, but there was a faint pain in his chest from time to time. It must have been an internal injury caused by the impact of the giant snake.

My face was as white as paper. I leaned weakly against the wall and watched Saner busy himself with chattering while smiling.

”Bro, you don't know, but I've been scared to death these past few days.”

All of the corn that we brought from the mouse hole was finally used for the sweet potatoes. During this period of time, we used these things to satisfy our hunger, but of course, there was also the huge snake meat that Saner dragged from the water.

”Isn't that fine?”

I smiled and comforted Saner. ”Saner, where did you get that fire from?”

”That's what you're talking about.”

Saner pointed at the firewood on the floor that was ignited on its own, and laughed: ”From the lampstand on the wall.”

After hearing what Saner had to say, I was silent for a moment, then said: ”Ten Thousand Year Lamp.”

Saner asked me in surprise: ”What is a Ten Thousand Year Lamp?”

”During the Qin and Han Dynasties, there were Black Scaled Merman in the East China Sea. By refining their corpse oil, they could burn for tens of thousands of years without extinguishing.”
