Chapter 631
Memories of a Past Life
Taking the opportunity, Tian Siyao peeked out and glanced at the male corpse.
The male corpse appeared thin, but its reaction speed was exceptionally agile, easily dodging Chen Ze's thrusting sword.
Chen Ze's moves became increasingly fierce, unleashing a series of powerful sword techniques, yet he was still unable to subdue the male corpse.
Gradually, the male corpse became somewhat enraged. After dodging Chen Ze's sword once, he leaped towards Chen Ze.
Chen Ze rushed forward, but during the ensuing struggle, he tripped and fell to the ground, dropping his longsword into a crevice in the rocks.
The male corpse grinned maliciously and lunged at him, shouting, "You injured me, I'll kill you!"
"Hahaha! You idiot, do you think I'm a three-year-old? I won't get hurt at all if I fall like this!" Chen Ze shouted as he kicked the male corpse in the abdomen.
The male corpse dared not take the hit head-on, so it had to jump and dodge.
"Bang—"
A loud bang was heard, and the two looked in surprise. They saw that the thick layer of soil had collapsed due to the loud noise, and the collapsed area quickly spread to the area around Chen Ze and the male corpse.
Seeing that the collapse was about to bury them, Tian Siyao instinctively reached out to pull Chen Ze back, but...
She pulled at nothing, and Chen Ze plummeted directly into the collapsed area. Just as he was falling into the abyss, she heard his heart-wrenching screams.
"Help... Yao, please save me... Yao Yao, save me..."
Tian Siyao gritted her teeth, disregarded the danger, and rushed in.
Although she didn't have a very good impression of Chen Ze, she couldn't bear to see a vibrant life perish because of her!
What's more, that was Chen Ze, whom she knew in her previous life.
“Yaoyao.........”
Before falling into the abyss, Chen Ze heard Tian Siyao calling him, so he tried his best to turn his head and crawl towards her. After he got close, he grabbed Tian Siyao and pulled her away from the abyss with all his might.
"Phew! I've finally escaped this ordeal."
"Yaoyao, you....."
Chen Ze was about to scold Tian Siyao when he caught a glimpse of the bloodstains on her chest. His eyes widened in shock, and he frantically helped her up, "You..."
Tian Siyao raised her hand to stop him, then took off a bunch of keys hanging around her neck and handed them to Chen Ze. "Brother Chen, after you find this for me, bring it to me immediately. After I've studied it thoroughly, I'll tell you about this place."
"Brother Chen, please."
After saying this, Tian Siyao turned and ran away.
She had to hurry and find the entrance to the tomb.
Although she had only caught a fleeting glimpse of the tomb's layout, she clearly saw a door depicted in one of the murals.
That door must be the entrance.
Because of the mural and the photos she had seen before, she felt that the objects in the tomb were related to what she knew in her previous life.
After all, the weapons and ancient writing she saw in those photos were things she had seen in books or online before.
Her hometown in her previous life was very far away from here. Even in modern society with its advanced technology, the longest short trip would only take about forty hours. In her previous life, it took her nearly ten years to reach the Earth where she lived.
This shows that the ancient tomb is very far from here.
And this place is within the territory of China.
That would be highly suspicious!
Chen Ze stood on the edge of the pit, staring at the spot where Tian Siyao had disappeared, without moving for a long time.
He knew she must be in trouble.
Moreover, it was the kind of trouble he was powerless to help her with.
"Brother Chen, what's wrong?" the man who had been guarding outside the pit suddenly asked.
Chen Ze composed himself, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I was just wondering how that girl knew there was a secret hidden here."
The man frowned upon hearing this. "Nobody else knows this except me!"
"Let's go in and take a look," Chen Ze said, stepping into the hole. The man followed him in and then closed the lid of the hole.
After half a stick of incense.
After searching the entire bottom of the cliff without finding any exit, Tian Siyao simply retreated back into the cave to examine the man's body.
After carefully examining the area and confirming that there was nothing unusual, she picked up the sword in the man's hand and examined it closely for a few moments.
After reading it, she picked up the clothes that the man had placed aside.
She noticed a jade pendant on her lapel. Because of its dull color, she couldn't tell what it was.
However, she could vaguely sense that the jade tablet contained extremely rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
That jade plaque was no ordinary item.
Maybe it can fetch a good price!
Having made up her mind, she immediately put everything away and piled all the broken stones back in their original place.
After doing all this, she searched the cave for a while to make sure nothing was missed, and then prepared to return.
Sudden.
The childish voice of Maruko echoed in her mind, "Silly master, are you going to dig up a grave? I can ask Sister Nightshade for help!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao's eyes lit up slightly. "Wanzi, you're so smart!"
Maruko grinned smugly, "Of course I'm smart!"
He's super intelligent!
"Where is Sister Night Eye?"
"She's nearby. Just walk to the end and look down, and you'll see her."
"Ah."
Nodding, Tian Siyao turned around, took two steps forward, then stopped and looked up at the ceiling.
There is a lamp on top.
It was carved from some unknown material, its entire body gleaming white, making it exceptionally conspicuous in the pitch-black environment.
Normally, she wouldn't even bother to glance at such decorations.
She smelled a strong stench of blood when she entered the cave tonight.
In addition, she had just almost lost her life here.
She then became interested in the lamp.
Regardless of what's inside the lamp, she'll try it out before deciding whether to take it.
With that in mind, she reached out and touched the lamp without hesitation.
"Shh!"
In an instant, the lamp vanished into thin air as if by magic.
She was astonished.
Did she think too much?
But just as she thought of the word "could it be", an unfamiliar place appeared before her eyes.
"Yaoyao, you're awake! I made you some porridge, drink it while it's hot!" A gentle, familiar voice came from inside, and Tian Siyao turned her head to look.
Seeing Chen Ze sitting in front of the stove, she felt a surge of joy.
But she quickly suppressed her joy, frowned, and asked, "How did you get in?"
“There’s a mechanism inside this cliff. Once I activate it, I can get in.” Chen Ze finished answering, then stood up, poured a bowl of porridge, and handed it to Tian Siyao. “You were unconscious yesterday, you must be starving.”
"Okay, you feed me."
After a moment of hesitation, Chen Ze placed the spoon into Tian Siyao's hand.
After she opened her mouth, took a spoonful, and drank, Chen Ze sighed and said, "When you were unconscious, your master came to visit you, but he left when he saw you weren't awake."
Speaking of that matter, Chen Ze's expression turned serious. "While you were unconscious, you dreamt of memories from your past life, but..."
Upon hearing the word "but," Tian Siyao quickly asked, "What did I dream about?"
"You dreamt that you traveled into an ancient tomb, saw a male corpse inside a coffin in the tomb chamber, and took the jade pendant from his waist, and then..."
"Then you caught up with us, right?"
Tian Siyao interrupted Chen Ze, staring anxiously at his face, afraid of missing any subtle expression.
"Correct."
"That.…."
After a pause, Tian Siyao lowered her head, blaming herself and saying regretfully, "I was too careless and didn't notice the trap in the mountain wall!" (End of Chapter)
