Chapter 2389: Chapter 2389: Picking the Lock
"Hey, elder, stop moving around." Xuexue, who was focused on lockpicking, yelled out.
The Elder was elated, fidgeting around. The last lock was almost open, but because of his movement, it got stuck again.
This was the most crucial lock, and once it was opened, he would be free.
"What happened? Is it done?" The Elder’s voice was full of excitement, like a bird ready to fly.
"No, it got stuck again."
"Ah?" The voice sounded very disappointed.
"Elder, don’t worry. Just stay still. This lock is more critical, so it’s harder to open than the others."
"Okay, okay, I won’t move."
Upon hearing this, the Elder calmed down and stood still obediently.
"Click!"
"Oh, it’s done." Xuexue wiped the sweat off her forehead. It wasn’t easy. This lock alone took an hour.
The Elder sprang out of the coffin like a bird being set free, laughing wildly and doing somersaults in mid-air: "Ahahaha...! I’m finally out, this is great."
For someone who had carried a coffin for decades, such a moment naturally felt immensely joyful.
The reincarnated Xuexue fully understood, sitting on the side with her chin resting in her hand, watching the Elder fly back and forth in the air until he was exhausted, laying spread-eagle on the ground, still saying with satisfaction: "The feeling of being light as a swallow is just amazing."
"Rumble...!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, the intact ceiling of the cave suddenly broke open, and two massive objects fell from above.
"Ahhhh...!"
Accompanied by shrieks of horror.
Good heavens, if I got crushed by these two massive objects, I’d be a goner, Xuexue thought, and without a second thought, rolled to the side to avoid them.
"Thud...!"
The heavy weights slammed onto the ground with a fierce impact.
"Ow! Fatty Brother, you’re crushing me, get off."
"Ouch, it hurts like hell!"
"You’re the one who’s hurting, crushing big brother here, it’s me who’s really in pain!"
The massive objects that fell from above could talk, and Xuexue focused her sight. It was the Fat Man and Thin Man. She was extremely puzzled as they had entered the underground palace with her yet arrived so much later.
"Big brother, I didn’t do it on purpose. I just fell, couldn’t do anything about it." It’s no wonder lying on the ground, the third one felt less pain considering he crushed big brother badly.
"Hurry and get off, oh god, my arm is about to break." The Thin Man howled in pain. Though he was tall, he was thin as a rail, with barely any meat; being crushed by his few hundred pounds brother made him feel his waist was about to snap.
The Fat Man hurriedly scrambled off him.
"These two troublemakers brought me here." Xuexue pointed at the brothers and said to the Elder: "Elder, I’ve helped you solve your problem, shouldn’t you do me a favor now?"
The clever and lively girl solved a lock that he had been unable to open for decades. The Elder looked at Xuexue with a different gaze, softly asking: "Little girl, what kind of help do you want, just say it."
Xuexue raised an eyebrow, pointed at the two brothers lying on the ground, and said: "Kill them."
"Ahahah...! Just a small problem." The Elder suddenly burst into laughter.
Xuexue frowned and asked: "Elder, are you going to help or not?"
The Elder: "Don’t worry, they won’t live much longer."
