Guardian: The Lost World

Damn you Lóng Hún!

-Guardians-

"Just what the hell is happening down there?" Lin asked as he looked down. Just a few minutes ago, they heard a strange sound, like that of chains moving in the distance, then there were some lighting flashes inside the hole as well as gunshots that followed. All of them had moved to look down, to see if they could distinguish something, but apart from the lightings, they could not see anything inside the deep darkness.

Chu, Guo and Da Qing were just beginning to go down the cliff, which will take them a while to reach the bottom. So it was up to them to help their Chief in time of need, but as the gunshots keep up under their feet, only Wang was calmed and collected.

"Chief!" Zhu Hong yelled, but a lighting muffle her scream. Lin had moved to took one of the torches to throw it down, like they did with the cliff, but creepily enough, as soon as he hold it, the thing simply extinguish itself on his hand. Maybe, because the supernatural powers working on those mountains had been the reason why the chief had told them not to throw any to the hole. They simply had no idea of what could be down the hole.

"I'm going down, the Chief and the professor are in deep trouble." Zhu said, checking her own gun.

"You will not do such thing. None of us will, for that matter." Wang said, making Zhu quite angry and Lin arch an eyebrow in confusion as to why Wang didn't want them to help their boss. It was so unlike her...

"I don't care what you said. I'm going down and there is nothing you could do to stop me." Zhu said and passed by Wang side, daring her to even try stop her, but a few steps away from the calmed shaman, Zhu found herself completely paralyze by a surge of a strange force pinning her in place, with her bracelet shining, like the one with the professor. Then, her knees simply became too weak to sustain her body and she fell on her hands and knees.

"Wow... Zhu Hong!" Lin shouted, seen her fall and came to her aid immediately.

"Who said I was the one who will stop you? It's the will of the gods." Wang said back, earning a nasty look from both Zhu and Lin. Sang then was immediately at her side, like he wanted to shelter her from Zhu's bad humor.

"Just what the hell did you did to me?!" Zhu panic and Lin try to help her get up, but was simply unable to help her move from the spot.

"I had done nothing. I told you is the will of the gods..." Wang insisted. Then Lin saw the faint glowing.

"She may be right, Zhu. Just look at your bracelet... is shining, the same way it did when the professor fainted." Lin notice and Zhu looked down her arm in surprise.

"Just desist the idea to go down and I guess you will be free to move again. I can sense both the Chief and professor Shen's energy moving around the cave bellow and that's not a place for us right now. There is nothing we can do to help them... We can only wait." Wang said. Zhu then found herself free from the spell, in the moment she stop thinking of going down. She sat over the snowy floor, with Lin rubbing her back, sitting by her side and sighed.

"Don't worry Zhu, you know the Chief is the god of luck... they will be fine, no matter what. Let's just wait..." Lin said to her and she couldn't help but smile. He was right, their Chief was the luckiest man alive and if it was fated, then she will wait until the time was right.

"Have some fun then, Chief..." She inwardly whisper and waited, while Lin stay by her, discretely holding her hand and they stayed that way until a handsome man dressed in black showed at the border of the hole, taking them all by surprise.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Zhao asked to Shen Wei while he try to get rid of some of the ashes that had fall on his lover silky hair.
