Shirley Yang got up from the ground and was shocked to realize that the person beneath her had become Ah Xiang.
She was extremely tense when she pounced on Wu Yutian; her body was stiff, and she might even have lost consciousness.
The act of tackling Wu Yutian was entirely subconscious.
So much so that she didn't even notice when Wu Yutian left her.
Ah Xiang's face turned red from being pressed down by her. She didn't know what was happening and was just a little nervous.
Wu Yutian went over and helped the two of them up.
"It's too dangerous here, you guys go up first." Wu Yutian gave Shirley Yang a wink, signaling her to take Ah Xiang up first.
Shirley Yang had many questions in her mind, but she didn't ask any more.
The rope hanging from the cave entrance had just been burned through by the fire.
Fortunately, the hole wasn't deep.
She called out to Chu Yi above, asking him to lower down another section of the rope, and then instructed him to send Ah Xiang up first.
Wu Yutian turned around.
Uncle Ming was still in a state of panic, completely bewildered.
7
He hadn't been to a tomb for many years, and had lived a life of luxury all these years. Suddenly encountering such a change, he was completely at a loss.
"Boss, are you alright?" Peter Huang came over to check on him.
Uncle Ming shook his head in a panic, then looked around.
"Oh right! Shuna! Where's Shuna?"
Peter Huang glanced to the side.
On the other side of the grave, Han Shuna lay on her side on the ground.
In the instant the flames erupted, she pushed Uncle Ming away.
However, his face and hands were covered in flames.
Looking at her now, her entire face was charred black.
The eyeballs were instantly evaporated, and the lips were burned away.
Only two rows of bare teeth were visible, along with a similarly charred tongue inside.
Uncle Ming had just stood up, intending to go and check on her, but upon seeing Han Shuna's appearance, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, Peter Huang was there to support him so he wouldn't fall and get hurt.
"Shuna...Shuna..." Uncle Ming sat on the ground, sobbing and calling out.
Hu Bayi found a blanket from somewhere.
Seeing that the flames on Han Shuna's body had been extinguished, he gently covered her with the flames.
"Since things have come to this, please accept my condolences." He said softly to Uncle Ming, "Let's talk about the rest upstairs."
Then, the group went up first, and Peter Huang helped from below to carry Han Shuna's body up.
A moment later, on the ground.
Han Shuna's body was placed to one side and wrapped in a blanket.
There are four seasons on the snow-capped mountain. When the group set off in the morning, it was sunny, but now the sky is covered with thick, leaden clouds and snowflakes have begun to fall.
Uncle Ming and Ah Xiang knelt beside Han Shuna's body.
Uncle Ming was still crying, muttering things like, "Why did you leave me all alone?"
Ah Xiang and Han Shuna weren't that close, but even she had tears in her eyes at this moment.
Fatty and Hu Bayi sat to the side, feeling a pang of sympathy.
"You know, this guy is usually carefree, but when it really matters, he's quite loyal." The fat man nodded.
"If they had listened to advice back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way," Hu Bayi sighed.
Wu Yutian remained silent.
Shirley Yang took a blanket out of the tent and draped it over Ah Xiang.
"Brother Tian, I saw you were the first one to go over there. What's going on?" Hu Bayi suddenly asked Wu Yutian, remembering something.
The situation was complicated at the time. The group only saw Wu Yutian's back and forgot how he managed to get there, which was quite strange.
Wu Yutian raised his left hand, and the Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raider ring on it emitted a dazzling light.
"That's probably what this thing does. Don't ask me anything else, I don't know either..."
He was keeping his trump cards to himself for now, at least until he entered the Nine-Story Demon Tower; he didn't want to reveal too many.
This wasn't because Wu Yutian was deliberately playing dumb to take advantage of others, but because it wasn't necessary.
He had a vague feeling that this place was more troublesome than he had imagined.
It doesn't do others any good to know too much.
Everyone stared at the bronze ring in Wu Yutian's hand, speechless for a moment.
"This is truly a treasure..." the fat man exclaimed in amazement.
"Old Hu, if it were our tomb raiding talisman, it would probably have been burned to ashes long ago."
Hu Bayi frowned as he looked at the Heavenly Official of the Tomb Raider ring, his mind filled with doubt, but he ultimately remained silent.
Wu Yutian remained silent as well.
After a while, he got up and walked towards Ah Xiang.
"Get up. It's cold in the snow, and there's still a long way to go. Don't hurt your knees," Wu Yutian said, helping Ah Xiang up.
Uncle Ming remained kneeling there, weeping.
Hu Bayi, who was standing to the side, also came over, stood there, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"How about this, Uncle Ming? I'll have Brother Chu Yi take you back first."
"We haven't even reached our destination yet, and so many problems have already arisen. It's safer for you to go back."
"Don't worry, if we can find your father's body, I promise to bring him back."
The people around him remained silent, all looking at Uncle Ming and waiting for his reply.
The Hong Kong businessman gradually stopped sobbing and began to speak:
"Brother Hu... I have a question for you now..."
"The person closest to me in this world, to help me fulfill my wish..." Uncle Ming's emotions became somewhat volatile at this point, but he held back as he continued:
"Use her life to exchange for mine..."
"If this happened to you..."
"You'll be afraid of dying..."
"And then turn around and leave?"
For a moment, everyone was speechless.
Wu Yutian didn't know how much sincerity was in his words.
But for that glacial crystal corpse, he was willing to sacrifice his so-called "closest person," and even more...
Wu Yutian could only say: "It's hard to persuade this damned devil with kind words."
"It's impossible to go back now." Chu Yi suddenly walked over, looking at the sky with a grave expression, and said:
0.2
"Look, the clouds in the sky are already very thick..."
"When we were at the Karamir Pass, we saw black-necked waterbirds flying away, which was a sign of the approaching cold wave."
"A blizzard is definitely coming within two hours."
"In this kind of weather, even the most experienced hunters would not dare to walk on the glacier. If they wanted to go, they would have to wait at least two days."
The first-year student turned his gaze to the distance:
"But wolves will attack us when the weather is bad, and they may already be nearby."
"I need to go and check out the area, and then dig up some ice blocks near the camp to build up for defense."
After hearing what Chu Yi said, everyone came to their senses from the tragedy of Han Shuna's death.
We are now on the glacier at Longding, not in Gazebuqing, where we can go back whenever we want.
Upon hearing that there might be a wolf pack attack, the group immediately perked up.
“Fatty, you, Peter Huang, Gesang, and Zaxi, you build ice blocks around the perimeter and listen to Zaxi and the others’ suggestions.”
"Old Hu and I will go for a walk around the neighborhood with Chu Yi," Wu Yutian instructed.
"Alright!" The fat guy never lets you down when it matters.
