Tomb robber: No more pretending, I’m from the Zhang family!

Chapter 163: The Edge of Death
In less than 5 minutes, the corpse king swarm gradually receded.

Tian Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as he relaxed, his nerves immediately lost control, and he sat on the ground paralyzed.

"Is the bug gone?" Aning asked.

Tian Zhen was lying on the ground, with his back pressed against Ah Ning's delicate body, he didn't notice it for a while, and said weakly: "Let's go."

"You're holding me down." Aning pushed him.

Looking back innocently, only then did he realize that his back had been sticking to Ah Ning's tender body, and his face blushed instantly.

Seeing that he had no strength, Ah Ning helped him out of the rock crevice, and the two immediately lay down on the ground, panting heavily.

After resting on the spot for more than ten minutes, both of them felt their mouths were parched, only then did they realize that they came out in a hurry and didn't even bring water!

Thirst began to torment them.

"We have to go back to the camp quickly, or we will die of thirst!" Aning said in an unquestionable tone, and then walked back towards the way we came.

Naive quickly followed.

Worried that the corpse king was still nearby, the two walked cautiously, not daring to make any noise.

After walking for more than half an hour, they returned to the fork in the road they encountered before, and the pile of Arabian stones at the intersection was still there.

But the two couldn't understand what it meant, hesitated for a while, and finally walked towards the passage on the left.

This walk took another half an hour, and the surrounding terrain seemed to be exactly the same, and there was no big difference at all, but what was certain was that they had never walked this road.

Half an hour later, they came to the next fork. There were no more Arabian stone piles here, and the surrounding landforms were also very strange, apparently a place they had never been before.

"We're lost..." Aning frowned.

"Then what should we do? How about we go back the same way and wait for the little brother to rescue us." Tian Zhen suggested.

At this time, Ah Ning had no other choice but nodded in agreement, so the two walked back along the original road.

Unexpectedly, after this walk, they could never go back to the road they had walked before. The two walked continuously under the scorching sun for more than three hours, their lips were cracked, and their bodies were drenched in sweat, but they never recovered. Find the original way.

They were completely lost in the devil city.

In ancient times, the Devil City was a huge formation used to trap enemies. There were intricate mazes inside. Once outsiders entered, they would be trapped in the Devil City and go around in circles.

It is more than enough to trap thousands of people, let alone the two of them, since they walked through the first fork, they have already entered the trap set by the ancients hundreds of years ago.

By the time the two of them reacted, they were already lost in the devil city, and they couldn't get out at all with their abilities.

During this period, Tian Zhen made a lot of calculations and assumptions. Every time the two walked a certain distance, he would stop and leave a mark to calculate the distance.

In the end, they walked for more than ten kilometers. They kept circling in the devil city, and finally they were so tired that they almost collapsed.

It was already evening at this time, and the temperature dropped suddenly. Both of them were wearing only a thin single layer of clothing. The temperature of their bodies dropped sharply, and they kept shivering. freeze to death.

Aning stopped, looked around and said, "We can't go anymore. The temperature difference between day and night in Devil City is huge. It seems that we are going to spend the night here tonight. We must find a place to spend the night."

But the surrounding area is bare, there is not even a mountain, only some big rocks protruding from the ground.

The two had no choice but to pick up a lot of stones, build a groove with the stones, lie in it and squeeze in for a night.

Because it was too cold, the two had to hug each other to keep warm. Naive and a little embarrassed, but Aning directly retracted into his arms, completely dispelling the embarrassment in his heart.

Even so, he was shivering from the cold, coupled with the reverberation of wind ghosts crying and howling wolves all around, the noisy people couldn't fall asleep at all.

Coupled with the torment of thirst and hunger, it was as uncomfortable as it was. Even with the warm and fragrant nephrite in her arms, Naive didn't have the slightest idea. The two just hugged and chatted.

They discussed the reason why they couldn't get out of the Devil City. Aning felt that the Devil City was actually a huge maze. The reason why they couldn't get out was because they kept going around in circles.

Naive also thought this was the case, so she suggested to wait until dawn tomorrow, find a high cliff to climb up, take a look at the surrounding environment, maybe you can go out.

It can only be said that naive thinking is still too optimistic.

Throughout the night, the two of them were in a state of half-dream and half-awake, and they finally made it to dawn, recovering a lot of physical strength.

But at this time, the thirst became more and more serious. Both of them had cracked lips, and there was a little saliva in their mouths.

Even so, they had to bite the bullet and continue to look for a way out. According to their thoughts yesterday, they found a relatively high rock mountain, climbed up and looked around.

But Devil City is very vast, standing on a rocky mountain tens of meters high, it is impossible to see the whole picture clearly, and a lot of energy is wasted instead.

Then they walked for several hours, but they were still circling around the Devil City. At this time, hunger was nothing compared to thirst, and the torture of extreme thirst was so painful!
They didn't even dare to cough, and they stopped talking, because when they talked, their throats hurt like fire, and coughing could kill half their lives.

At this time, the two had reached a desperate situation, unable to walk, so they had to find a rocky mountain and were stopped by the shadow.

At this moment, he was so innocent and desperate that he even gave up struggling, thinking about how long it would take before they would die of thirst.

Under normal circumstances, a person can go without drinking water for up to three days, and after this time, he will suffer from dehydration and die.

They have already walked in the Devil City for a day and a night, that is to say, they still have to endure this kind of torture for a day and a night, which makes people feel suffocated just thinking about it.

In order to preserve her strength, Ah Ning stayed where she was, and said that if she continued walking, she would only die faster.

Naive had no choice but to follow her, silently praying in her heart that someone would find them before they died of thirst, otherwise they would turn into two mummified corpses, and that would be a sad end.

In this extreme environment, Ah Ning's mentality is much calmer than naive. She obviously hasn't given up her desire to survive. She removes the string of precious copper coins in her hand, divides them into dozens of shares, and spreads them around. In order to attract the attention of those search and rescue personnel.

This is their last hope.

Then the two leaned their backs against the rock and passed out not long after.
