Chapter 335: Lao San’s Death and the Black Moving Body

Because of the bright light of the night-luminescent pearl, the large group of bats was just flying from left to right outside, but didn’t dare to come inside.

Before Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went out, she said to Lao Da and others in the anteroom, “It’s his own choice, and whether he can stay alive had nothing to do with me.”

Lao Da and the others also knew that even if Lao San died, they couldn’t blame anyone.

“Once we’re out, you need to immediately close the door,” Gu Ning reminded them.

The moment that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were out, Lao Da closed the door and no bats had the chance to fly inside.

In the tomb tunnel, Lao San was holding his burning torch, so the bats didn’t dare to approach too close, but the light of a single burning torch was too weak in front of thousands of bats, thus some bats still attacked Lao San once in a while, which scared him.

As for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting, they had the night-luminescent pearl to protect them from the bats. However, if they didn’t kill the bats, it could still be dangerous. No one could promise that the bats wouldn’t attack them or bite them by chance.

At this time, Gu Ning heard Lao San’s agonized shout. Obviously, he had been bitten by bats. Lao San used his antidote to stop the effects of bats’ poison. And although he survived, he was much weaker.

“Let me ask you for the last time. Do you want the antiques or your life?” Gu Ning still had her sympathy towards Lao San and gave him one last chance.

“It’s none of your business!” Lao San said in anger and continued to walk ahead.

Since he said that, Gu Ning wouldn’t persuade him anymore.

She took out a flame thrower from her backpack and sprayed flame at the group of black bats behind them. The flame thrower emitted flames that were two meters long and ten centimeters wide. Once the flame was sprayed out, a group of bats were ignited. They struggled, then died and fell.

Lao San was so jealous of Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting. He was eager to grab the night-luminescent pearl and flame thrower from them, but was afraid that he couldn’t beat them alone.

After spraying flame three times, almost all the bats behind Gu Ning were dead, but it wasn’t realistic to kill them all, because some of them hid away. As long as they weren’t being threatening, Gu Ning wouldn’t bother killing them.

Gu Ning only killed the bats behind her, but there were a lot in front of Lao San. With a single burning torch, he could hardly escape from their attacks.

Lao San went to the anteroom that they had opened before the bats flew out, but he couldn’t get inside right away because the bats were precisely flying out of this anteroom. He cautiously looked inside.

There were a lot less bats in it, but they all flew backwards seeing fire.

“Don’t go inside!” Gu Ning tried to stop Lao San, but he refused to listen to her. Lao San walked in directly and later screamed in horror and pain. When Gu Ning followed him, she saw Lao San lying on the ground with blood around his body. He was dead already. And there was a black moving body standing in front of Lao San. It was a zombie. Before they went into the anteroom, Gu Ning had used her Jade Eyes and saw the zombie. She was shocked to find that there really were zombies in this world.

It was because she was so stunned that she failed to stop Lao San in time, but she had indeed warned Lao San to not go inside beforehand. If he had listened to her, he wouldn’t have been killed, but the truth was that Lao San had died because he refused to listen to Gu Ning’s advice.

In the first anteroom, the three men heard Gu Ning’s voice and Lao San’s scream. They had a premonition that Lao San was in trouble. If Lao San was really in trouble, they would feel terrible too, because they had been working together for two years. However, Lao San valued money too high, and he would risk his life for it. Besides, Lao San had betrayed them for money, which Lao Da kept a secret. That was the reason why he hadn’t tried his best to stop Lao San. He had planned to dismiss Lao San after this time. Lao San had done a lot to discover this ancient grave after all.

“Boss, is Lao San in trouble?” Lao Er asked.

“I have no idea,” Lao Da said. He wasn’t sure either.

Leng Shaoting was terrified too when the black moving body appeared in his sight. “What the hell is that?” He had been through many dangerous situations and places, and he had fought in the Amazon Rainforest, but he had never panicked in front of scary beasts or enemies. However, this black moving body was too strange and horrifying. It looked like a human being, but had black fur all over its body. It seemed to be a gorilla, but was obviously not.

“A zombie,” Gu Ning said. It wasn’t the normal zombies that they had seen in the horror films. This zombie smelt like rotten corpse, which was quite disgusting.

What? A zombie? Hearing that, Leng Shaoting was more than shocked. He had only heard of ghosts and monsters in tales. To his astonishment, there were really zombies in this world. His original views of this world started to change dramatically.

The zombie was afraid of light and fire too, so it didn’t dare to approach them because of the night-luminescent pearl in Leng Shaoting’s hand, but a zombie was much more threatening to Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting than a group of bats, because it was really strong and could use other things to attack them. Without hesitation, the zombie threw the heavy cover of a coffin at them.

It happened too fast and suddenly, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were almost hit by it. However, the heavy cover hit between the two of them, so Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting escaped in two different directions. However, that being the case, Gu Ning was out of the brightest light, and the zombie seized the chance, attacking Gu Ning with his sharp, black nails.

“Ningning!” Leng Shaoting was shocked. He ran to Gu Ning at once, but unexpectedly, the zombie moved much faster than him and got close to Gu Ning like lightning.

Gu Ning wasn’t weak either. She fought against the black moving body with her magical power, so it didn’t hurt her. At the same time, Gu Ning said to Leng Shaoting seriously, “Keep the night-luminescent pearl bright and never let it leave your hand!”

Gu Ning was really worried that Leng Shaoting would ignore the night-luminescent pearl in order to help her. If the night-luminescent pearl was covered, it would be a great advantage to the zombie. Besides, it Leng Shaoting lost the protection of night-luminescent pearl, he would be hurt by Yin.

Seeing Gu Ning being so serious, Leng Shaoting bore her words in mind. Luckily, the zombie wasn’t able to hurt Gu Ning, and Leng Shaoting was less concerned. However, he still wanted to help Gu Ning.

After their search, they found a small town two kilometers away from Fengyang Village, so Gu Ning decided to book a room and park their car there. Leng Shaoting agreed with her after she told him her plan.

Fengyang Village was located in an area near the capital, but because the capital was so large, it took at least an hour and a half of driving for them to get to the small town. And they still needed to walk for another 20 minutes to arrive at Fengyang Village from the small town. Therefore, Gu Ning prepared to leave at 4 pm. It would be 5:30 pm when they arrived at the town, and it would be dinner time. In the winter, the sky went dark at 6 pm, so it was a great time for them to discuss a plan after dinner. They still had two hours to prepare some food and tools before they left.

There were mountains all around Fengyang Village. It was impossible for them to find the ancient grave the moment they got there. It would probably take them hours or even days to find it. And in order to not attract attention, they couldn’t ask the villagers. However, no matter whether they could find the ancient grave, they had to go back to the capital tomorrow night.

There were a lot of tools in Gu Ning’s telepathic eyes space, but it wasn’t convenient for her to take them out, because she still didn’t want Leng Shaoting to know her secret.

For now, Gu Ning wasn’t clear about the condition of the ancient grave. Had only a few found it, or had a majority already found it? However, since antiques dealers were able to sell those bronze objects, the ancient grave must not have been discovered by the government yet. If the government knew about it, it would shut its entrance and send an archaeological team to do the study. However, the ancient grave was full of Yin, and those archaeologists would be affected too.

Gu Ning would give Leng Shaoting her night-luminescent pearl to protect him before they got into the ancient grave, but the most important first step was to find the ancient grave.

Two hours later, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived at the small town which was the one nearest to Fengyang Village. They booked a room and parked their car before they went to have dinner. After dinner, it was almost 6:30 pm, and the sky was completely dark now. The two then set out on their adventure.

Within 20 minutes, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting arrived at Fengyang Village, which was completely dark. Even with her acute sight, Gu Ning could barely figure out where the road was.

She looked at the surrounding mountains and had no idea where they should start. The mountains were too far. Even though it was hardly possible, Gu Ning still used her Jade Eyes to give it a try. However, unfortunately, her Jade Eyes were only effective within 200 meters, and she couldn’t see the mountains at such a far distance.

Right at this time, they heard a car driving over. In order to not be discovered, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting immediately hid in the grass at the roadside. A van stopped at the entrance of Fengyang Village and four men who each had a big backpack got out of it.

“Come on! Be careful. Don’t let anyone else find us,” one of them said.

Hearing that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting understood that they came here for nothing good. They also thought that they could be grave diggers. Gu Ning instantly used her Jade Eyes to scan their backpacks. There were all kinds of tools for grave-digging in their backpacks.

Once they four men left, the van drove away without delay.

“Let’s follow them,” Gu Ning said. Leng Shaoting gave her an affirmative nod. After that, they quietly followed the four men.

Half an hour later, they had climbed halfway up one of the mountains, and the four men never found out that Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were following them. Afterwards, they stopped at a rather steep rock wall and uncover an area of grass. A hole immediately appeared; it was probably the dug up grave.

The four men fastened ropes and abseiled down.

After the four men were in the ancient grave for a long while, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting approached the hole. However, they didn’t get in right away. Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to check the depth and the four men’s location first in case they met them by accident.

The hole was about 20 meters deep, and there was a tomb tunnel beneath it. About three or four meters from the tomb tunnel, there was an anteroom, which was about ten square meters in size. And four coffins were laid in the anteroom. The four coffins had been opened already. That was all that Gu Ning could see with her Jade Eyes.

The four men were in the anteroom but they didn’t stay there because they had already stolen all the valuable objects there. Thus they were walking towards other anterooms, but it wasn’t easy to get into an anteroom.

From the ancient objects that they had already found, they knew that the person who had been buried in this ancient grave had to be an important figure, so it was highly possible that there were traps or poison at the entrances of the anterooms.

The four men came to another anteroom, but didn’t dare walk in directly. Instead, they checked the surroundings carefully, and didn’t walk inside until they were sure that there was no danger.

Now was the time for Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting to abseil down. Gu Ning took out her night-luminescent pearl, but didn’t reveal it fully, because its light was very bright.

“Here.” Gu Ning gave the night-luminescent pearl to Leng Shaoting. “This is a night-luminescent pearl. You can use it to light the way.”

It was too complicated for her to explain the Yin and her magical power, so she could only use the excuse.

“A night-luminescent pearl?” Leng Shaoting was quite surprised that Gu Ning had such a priceless jewel, but he didn’t ask further, and took the night-luminescent pearl.

Gu Ning also told Leng Shaoting not to show its light fully in case the four men would find out. After that, they put on gloves and abseiled down. Once they were in the tomb tunnel, they walked to the first anteroom. Before long, they came to the first anteroom which had already been robbed clean.

It was a mess in there and there were pieces of blackened bone with some armor in each of the coffins. They could be servants that had been buried together with their master.

Right when Gu Ning was about to use her Jade Eyes to check the four men’s location, they suddenly heard an agonized scream followed by messy footsteps.

Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting sensed that something must be wrong, and walked out of the anteroom without hesitation, but they encountered the four men right as they left the anteroom. The man who was running in the front saw two shadows in the tomb tunnel and was frightened to a stop right away, the other three men who were running behind him didn’t expect that he would stop all of a sudden and knocked him over directly. However, they were in a dangerous situation and immediately struggled to get back on their feet. All of them were scared to death when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting appeared in their sight.
