The night was quite cold and humid, and all of them have to stop their activities to get some good rest for a better start tomorrow, Wu Xie slowly open his eyes and tries to sit up, Pang Zi and Xiao Ge who is lying beside him notice his movement and got up too,
"Are you alright? Here, drink and eat something first" Pang Zi gives him some dry biscuits and water, while Xiao Ge pulled back his collar to look at the black thing behind Wu Xie's neck and it indeed has become less visible and almost healed.
After analyzing the situation and hearing about his sleepwalking condition from them he seems a little confused too, but they decided to go through that corridor since there is no other clue anymore.
The next day, after having a light breakfast and getting enough rest, they slowly crawled inside the hole that have been made bigger to fit a person and their equipment. It is a very narrow passage, only fit for one person at a time, so some who have a bigger build have to walk sideways, maybe because it is narrow and they have already been walking quite far, some of them have this elicited feeling as if they are being squeezed, making them hard to breathe.
Pang Zi on the other hand keep on blabbering about why they made such a narrow tunnel, it is especially harder for him to walk through, considering he is quite fat
"I have told you so many times to not eat too much oily things, but you didn't listen to me" Wu Xie scold him to not waste their oxygen anymore by saying so much nonsense, he already felt quite dizzy because of the lack of air on this space, yet Pang Zi loud voice keeps on ringing beside him.
"Just say for yourself, you have been looking like you are going to faint any moment" it is indeed true, except for the lack of oxygen, it is extremely hot too, and being in such a narrow space for so long, he had been feeling quite anxious and his whole body have been feeling numb from not being able to move freely, not to mention his chest has been feeling tight, making it harder to breathe as his heart is pounding hardly and fast.
Xiao Ge who takes the lead, suddenly stop on his track and turns around to look at Wu Xie, Wu Xie with a questioning look on his face and tiptoes to look at what is in front of them and it turns out to be a stone wall,
'Are we crawling and walking like a madman to meet a dead end?'
Wu Xie looks back at Xiao Ge and turns around to find Liu Sang at the back, as if he knows what Wu Xie wants he already answer
"There is the chamber I talked about, behind that stone wall"
Wu Xie whose words have stuck in his mouth just laughs and turns back, pats Xiao Ge back to let him keep going.
Xiao Ge swiftly break the mechanism and the stone door slowly make a clicking sound, nodding to Wu Xie and Pang Zi, they pull out their weapon, preparing themself to block anything coming their way, in their heart, they wish nothing would come because it is such a narrow space after all, it will be hard to dodge if anything happens. Xiao Ge slowly push the stone door, but nothing happened, they slowly step inside, still on guard, one by one escaping that narrow passage
Many of them collapsed to the floor to take a breath and message their body, relieve that they can finally get out of that hell hole. After making sure that their surrounding is safe, Wu Xie lower down his shortened staff and started to relax his body and crack some of his sore joints. After feeling a little better, he pulled something out of his outer jacket pocket and swallow it without having any water.
There are three coffins laying inside vertically to them, two at the bottom and one at the top of the stairs, with a big mural behind it, they slowly went up the stairs and see that the middle coffin is more bigger and fancy compared to the two others. While others are busy admiring their newest finding, Wu Xie slowly walks towards the mural that is behind the biggest coffin, Xiao Ge and Pang Zi also follow along
