The Blue Adventures

Unpleasant Encounter

"What should we do now?!" Wu Xie said, still feeling dizzy from all these turns
"You are always the smarter one!! You think of an idea" Pang Zi shout back

"Xiao Ge slows down, I am about to puke, my stomach hurts" Wu Xie can't even think, now his head even started to hurt and he doesn't feel well. Instead of putting him down, Xiao Ge put him on his back while still running, making Wu Xie feel a little comfortable but still no better because of the shaking.

"Fire! They should be afraid of fire right?" Wu Xie blindly said,
"How could I know!!" Pang Zi screams back, getting kind of annoyed and tired.

"They look like fish! Must be afraid of fire, hurry up and light a fire" Wu Xie
"You idiot, if we have it, would we be in this situation right now?!" Pang Zi scold him.

Xiao Ge who has been quiet suddenly stops and turns around, he pulled out something from his shoe pocket, a lighter. He lights it up and throws it at the wall. The fire suddenly went big and roaring not just toward those weird-looking monsters but also towards them. Turns out there are some spores in the walls that easily caught on fire, so Xiao Ge has been waiting for this moment.

"Xiao Ge.. what are you going to do, the fire is getting bigger!!" Pang Zi shouts while coughing, the smoke is surrounding them all around and the smell is even worse. Wu Xie can't even think straight anymore, with this smoke surrounding him, he can even feel out of breath, like something is burning inside his chest.

Without stopping, all of them fasten their pace, running further away from it, Lu Yan stepped on a mechanism and they are once again swallowed by darkness when they fell inside the trap.

It is dark and they went silent, they can even hear the beating heart clearly, there seems to be nothing around them, and the fire is also gone. Out of nowhere, there is a small light flickering around, Xiao Ge did not just successfully landed without letting Wu Xie fall, but he also give them a light to see

"I think we are safe for now? We are indeed very lucky" Pang Zi comments, and finally lay down on the floor to take a rest

"Who knows if we are really lucky or the path we walked is already being planned by others" Wu Xie scoffed.
Xiao Ge carefully put Wu Xie down, Wu Xie can't help but want to ask this question he has been wandering
"Why are you carrying a lot of lighter this time?" Wu Xie asked him
"What is so wrong about that?" Pang Zi is the one to answer, still laying on the floor trying to catch his breath

"No.. I just found it pretty familiar" Wu Xie furrowed a little.
"What is so wrong about having a similar match?" Pang Zi refute again
'No, the problem is that I lost mine, even all of my spare one is gone'

"I took it" Xiao Ge confess when he saw Wu Xie thinking about it
"Why?!" Wu Xie looks at him confused
"Cigarettes" Xiao Ge simply said

Wu Xie understands then, since Xiao Ge is the one to find out that he is feeling unwell even before they went inside the tomb, he must have tried any means to take care of him. Including stealing dangerous things from Wu Xie.

"Ha!! You are already feeling unwell and you still want to smoke?!!" Pang Zi screams at him, suddenly sits up, and grabs Wu Xie's collar.
"Calm down calm down" Wu Xie send an awkward smile, but Pang Zi already grab him and shake him harshly
"Do you know how worried we are when we know you are sick?!! And you still dared to smoke!!! You looking for a beating?"

"No no" Wu Xie pleaded with his eyes
Xiao Ge grab Pang Zi's hand, telling him to stop, he saw Wu Xie's face looking quite pale
"What happened to you? Are you alright?" Pang Zi suddenly got scared and worried, Wu Xie started coughing again, he has been feeling unwell even before they met again, and with all the shaking and the stress, it have gotten worse.
"Shit!! Where is your medicine? That Yu Qin, I will make sure to skin him alive" Pang Zi cursed
