Chapter 428 Accidentally Triggering a Mechanism, Inadvertently Harming Someone

Just as the two people and the cat were chasing each other,

Professor Mel, who had entered through the stone door, walked for a while longer...

They discovered that they had entered a peculiar passage.

However, the passage they were in now was different from the ones they had encountered before.

On the walls on both sides of the passage, there are grids spaced out at intervals.

There was a stone carving of an animal head protruding from the wall.

The distance in the passage was still pitch black, and it was unclear whether there was a way out ahead.

Professor Mel slowly observed the surrounding situation.

At the entrance to the stone chamber, there was a wall with grooves.

Three stone pillars, carved with patterns, are also tied to the groove with ropes.

Three stone pillars hung there, like some kind of decoration.

Filled with curiosity, Professor Mel raised his flashlight again and walked toward the stone pillar.

Looking at the patterned stone pillar,

Professor Mel couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke it.

In that instant, the rope tethering the stone pillar seemed too rotten.

It broke instantly!

The heavy stone pillar fell down with a thud, crashing heavily onto the ground!

The sudden sound startled the already tense and unprepared crowd.

They all let out a terrified scream!

However, the next second, another 'thump' sound came!

When everyone turned around to look, they were shocked to find that...

The stone door they passed through to enter the stone chamber was sealed off by a huge stone slab!

Professor Mel patted the stone slab and said with some annoyance:

"Fuck! What's going on?"

Seeing this, everyone quickly turned around to check, and Fitz sarcastically remarked from the side:

"I remember you once said not to touch anything here?"

Professor Mel rolled his eyes at this, ignoring the sharp-tongued Fitz.

Instead, he muttered to himself:

"Damn it, what do we do now?"

Just then, Evelyn, who had made a discovery, suddenly shouted to the crowd:

"Look at those animal heads!"

When everyone looked towards the animal heads, they noticed two animal heads at the stone gate.

They all simultaneously began spitting fine sand into the stone chamber!

At first, the speed was very slow, but as the second pair of animal heads began to spew sand, the third pair, the fourth pair...

Until all the animal heads in the passage began to spew out fine sand in unison,

Professor Mel finally realized that this was a trap designed to bury them alive!

He quickly shouted:

"Hurry! If we don't leave, we'll be buried here!"

Upon hearing this, everyone frantically tried to shield themselves from the gushing sand above.

Run towards the end of the pitch-black passage!

The soft, fine sand piled up higher and higher, and the steps under everyone's feet became heavier and heavier.

Nora, who was lagging behind, quickly became exhausted.

Just as he was about to run out of the passage with the animal heads, he fell heavily to the ground.

The fine sand that followed immediately pinned her legs down!

Trapped, Nora hurriedly called out to Professor Mel:

"Dad! Help me, I can't get out!"

Professor Mel, who was focused on escaping, stopped abruptly upon hearing his daughter's cries.

He quickly turned around and ran behind him, calling out to the others for help:

"Someone help me! Nora is trapped!"

Upon hearing Professor Mel's plea for help, Evelyn also stopped in her tracks.

Seeing this, Jonathan felt it wouldn't be right to leave alone, so he followed his sister back to Nora's side.

Sunny and Fitz ignored the two people behind them.

Instead, they ran forward desperately, fearing they would be buried alive in the fine sand.

Suni, who was running in the lead, soon spotted a dark door!

Just as Suni was about to run towards the door,

His eyes widened instantly, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.

And he quickly regained control of his body.

Because there was no way out behind that door, but a huge trap!

The open ground below was covered with barbs made of wooden stakes!

Just as Suni had regained his footing, he suddenly heard heavy footsteps behind him.

Suni was afraid that someone behind her would knock her down.

He quickly turned around and called out to those behind him:

"God! No..."

However, before Suni could finish speaking, Fitz, holding a camera, ran over!

By the time he saw Suni, it was too late to brake.

He was holding the camera when he crashed heavily into Suni, who had just turned around!

The sudden impact knocked the frail Suni down!

Fitz watched in horror as he knocked Suni down the tunnel.

Suni, however, stared wide-eyed and let out a piercing scream in the pitch-black space.

The moment it landed, there was a "plop" sound.

His body was pierced directly by a wooden stake on the ground!

"No! My God..."

Fitz covered his mouth, unable to believe what had just happened.

Suni, whose body had been pierced, raised his hand and weakly said:

"Help me..."

Meanwhile, in the holes around the trap,

Several emaciated, hairless cats suddenly emerged!

Like starving beasts, they pounced on the immobilized Suni!

Inside the stone chamber, Nora, buried under fine sand, is about to suffocate.

Professor Mel and his two companions arrived just in time and dug them out with great effort.

The moment the three dragged Nora out of the sand pile, Nora burst into tears in fear.

"God! Thank you, thank you so much..."

Nora cried as she threw herself into her father's arms, thanking Evelyn and Jonathan at the same time.

If it weren't for their help in rescuing my father...

I'm afraid I'll be buried alive here today.

Professor Mel patted Nora on the back, looked at the sand pile behind her, and said softly:

"Alright, let's go, Nora, we need to get out of here quickly!"

With that, the three of them helped Nora up and ran toward the exit ahead.

But just as Professor Mel and his group of four arrived at the exit,

To their astonishment, Fitz was the only one left there.

At this moment, Fitz was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth in circles.

Of course, when they saw everyone walking over...

Fitz, as if seeing a savior, excitedly pointed down.

He said to Professor Mel:

"Professor! Please help! Please help!"

Professor Mel leaned down, puzzled, and looked down into the space below.

When he saw Suni being eaten by wild cats,

He immediately let out a gasp:

"Oh my God! My God!"

Without delay, Professor Mel quickly rummaged through his backpack for anything usable.

When he found a light stick, he quickly lit it and threw it down!

"Tear—"

The burning flare hovered and flew to Suni's side.

This immediately frightened the greedy wild cats, causing them to scatter and flee.

Suni turned his neck slightly, then fell silent.

Professor Mel took another rope out of his backpack.

With Jonathan's help, it was tied to a stone pillar.

Then he shouted at the oblivious Suni:

"Sunni! Hang in there! We're coming down now!"
