Mei Xing her breath hitched as she looked at the figure that was standing at the very end of the corridor, she didn't know how long the corridor was—— all she knew was that she wanted to leave. " You guys, even if you don't want to believe me you need to listen to me. Right now, I heard that thing roar… didn't you hear it?"
" Mie Xing, it's enough all right," Shi Caihong said from the entrance of the tomb. "It's nothing but just a bit of rain, why are you overreacting like this? I mean how can you have so little guts, didn't you say that you wanted to prove to your grandmother that things like ghosts and demons were nothing but feudal superstitions, now what? You are doing the exact same thing! And we are already here, we have pooled in all our savings just to come here, how can we not go inside? Are you going to act like chicken now?"
Li Yiqian too chimed along with Shi Caihong having enough of Mei Xing's interruption. " Look Xing Xing, there is no way you can chicken out now all right? I paid for this trip including everyone's plane ticket. You know how hard it was for me with everyone's credit card being taken away, we are going in no matter what, okay? If you are scared then you can come slowly at the very end of the group okay? I will go first and then you all can come after me."
" No, Yiqian listen to me…" Mei Xing shouted but she was already a step too late both Shi Caihong and Li Yiqian entered the tomb one after another and following them was an overly eager Shao Li Jun.
Mei Xing saw them entering the tomb and suddenly felt the sudden change in the current of air, she didn't know how it was possible but it was as if the air seemed to have bent in a way making it even impossible for them to get out of this place unscathed. Her heart took a sudden dip and settled itself at the bottom of her stomach.
Seeing that Shi Caihong along with Li Yiqian really entered the tomb, others could help but turn anxious after all there was no way they could leave the three of them alone now, right?
Li Na and Fan Ehuang turned to look at Mei Xing before Fan Ehuang said in a solemn voice, " Xing Xing, I think we should go now as well, I mean I don't want those three to get lost and if they were to walk away then where are we going to look for them?"
She was right, though they had torches and smartphones, the tomb was underground and it was even darker than the forest outside. If Shi Caihong and others were to get lost in this place what will they do? In such places, it was better to stick together.
" She is right, I think we should go as well, Xing Xing," Though Tao Guotin wanted to treat Mei Xing nicely, he couldn't just let go of the challenge that his archenemy gave him. He has to finish this challenge no matter what, that's why he ignored the scared look on Mei Xing's face and prepared to bring her inside the tomb. "Let's go, we are here anyway. If we came this far and return without fulfilling the challenge then I am afraid that our enemies will get a chance to call us cowards."
He pointed to the other end of the room where an old coffin was lying on top of a raised platform. Spider webs and dust seem to have coated it to the point that it no longer resembled a coffin but just a small stone box.
" You were getting scared for nothing——"
" That's not the real coffin," before Li Yiqian could say anything anymore, Mei Xing stared at the coffin that was lying on top of the raised platform with a hoarse voice she interrupted him. " That coffin does not belong to the Lost Emperor, do you think that an Emperor's coffin would be like this? Are you that naive?"
