Chapter 165 Seriously injured and died
Jiang Lige smiled, didn't refuse, and followed Ning Yunxiao down the stairs.
Each stone step is built very smoothly, showing that a lot of effort has been put into it. The stone steps are extremely long, and the air becomes more humid as you go down. Every step you take will echo in the small space.
After walking up the stone steps and passing through the long corridor, a huge circular pool appeared in front of everyone. In the middle of the pool was a circular altar, and on the altar should be the real coffin of the tomb owner.
There are two rows of stone servants standing on each side of the coffin, guarding the coffin respectfully. In the custom of burial, stone servants are considered to be the guardian gods of the tomb owner. The more stone servants there are, the higher the status of the tomb owner.
There is a stone tablet at the entrance of the altar, engraved with some twisted patterns, which look like the characters of the Chi tribe.
In such a large space, there was no suspected exit except the path they had just taken.
When the group saw this, their hopes were dashed.
Either they took the wrong path, or there was another trap waiting for them, but no matter which one it was, it was not good news for them now.
Counting from the time they fell here, a whole day has passed. They have nothing to eat or drink, and they dare not even close their eyes to rest. Everyone's physical condition has reached its limit.
If they can't find a way out, even if they are not killed by the mechanism, they will starve to death in there.
At this moment, the stone door of the corridor fell down with a loud bang, which meant that they couldn't even go back.
"If you don't understand, why are you giving blind orders? The hole in the stone chamber just now is the real exit, it must be! It's all your fault!"
In the atmosphere of depression and despair, Xiaoya almost collapsed. Her legs went weak and she sat down on the ground, accusing everyone like a shrew.
"Xiaoya, ah——"
Zheng Baoyao wanted to comfort Xiaoya with a few words, but it provoked Xiaoya to resist more fiercely. She stood up and pushed Zheng Baoyao, but she didn't expect that she lost her balance and suddenly fell towards the stone servant on the side.
The accident happened in an instant. The stone servant suddenly raised his head and opened his eyes. His eyes were extremely empty and flashed with a strange green light.
"not good!"
Ning Yunxiao shouted loudly and was about to remind everyone, but it was too late.
The stone servant suddenly stretched out a moss-covered arm and grabbed Xiaoya who was rolling on the ground. The other stone arm suddenly turned into a sharp claw and pierced straight into Xiaoya's heart.
The screams stopped abruptly, and the seriously injured Xiaoya was thrown to the ground by the stone servant. She lay on the ground in a twisted state, blood splattered everywhere, and her wide-open eyes were full of despair.
The smell of blood filled the air, like a bad signal that instantly awakened all the stone servants. They rushed towards them with murderous eyes and heavy steps!
Ning Yunxiao was the first to react and stepped forward to stand in front of the two girls.
"You guys find a place to hide, Deng Sijiu and I will handle this!"
After saying that, Ning Yunxiao took the initiative to rush forward and blocked the first wave of attacks from Shi Shi, and Deng Sijiu followed closely behind.
Zheng Baoyao was obviously still in shock from Xiaoya's death. Jiang Lige knew that the two of them had no martial arts skills and would be a burden in the current situation, so she immediately dragged the trembling Zheng Baoyao to hide in a corner.
The stone servant's movements were fierce and swift. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the people, like a ghost walking in the night, with a bloodthirsty light flashing in his eyes. Wherever he went, dust flew up.
Ning Yunxiao and Deng Sijiu had no weapons and hit the stone servant with their bare hands. The stone servant felt no pain at all and did not move at all. The stone arm came straight towards them without any dodging, smashing down with the sound of breaking through the air.
Ning Yunxiao dodged to the side and barely avoided the stone servant's attack, but his jaw was still scratched, leaving a deep blood mark.
Seeing this, Deng Sijiu concentrated his internal energy in his palm, quickly stood behind the stone servant, and attacked him with all his might.
The stone servant staggered after being hit by Deng Sijiu, but did not fall down. Instead, he twisted his clumsy body and rushed towards Deng Sijiu. After a feint, he took advantage of Deng Sijiu's unpreparedness, grabbed Deng Sijiu's feet and threw him hard. He raised his stone arm high and smashed it towards Deng Sijiu's chest.
At the critical moment, Ning Yunxiao flew up and kicked Shi Shi's leg, and when he dodged, he pulled Deng Sijiu out of the opponent's attack range.
The Stone Servant had an indestructible body and his moves were deadly. Under the Stone Servant's attack, the two men had no power to fight back at all. They were at a disadvantage throughout and could only keep dodging.
Seeing Deng Sijiu being hit by another palm and bleeding profusely, Jiang Lige could no longer sit still. After looking around, he nimbly avoided the stone servant and rushed straight to the altar!
She wants to take a gamble!
On the altar, Jiang Lige dodged the attack of a stone servant and clearly covered the fluorescent stone used to decorate the coffin.
The world changed drastically in an instant, everything fell into endless darkness, and then a dazzling white light shot up into the sky, forcing people to turn their heads to avoid the light.
When Jiang Lige opened his eyes again, the altar had changed.
There were no stone servants, no coffins, and no companions. There was only an old woman sitting in front of a chessboard on the altar.
The old woman's gray hair was combed meticulously. Judging from her attire, she was neither Sheng Ling nor Nan Chu. Her eyes were like two cold swords, staring straight at Jiang Lige.
"You are finally here, my destined one." said the old woman.
Jiang Lige was a little surprised, but remained timid. He bowed and called out "Senior" before explaining, "My companions and I did not intend to intrude upon your mausoleum. We have no intention of offending you. We hope you will show some mercy and let us go."
The old woman withdrew her gaze, her eyes falling on the chessboard in front of her. She said calmly, "Finish this game for me, and I will let you go."
"Okay." Jiang Lige didn't bargain with the old woman. He simply agreed and strode forward to sit opposite the old woman.
"You hold the black piece, and you only have one chance." The old woman pointed at the chessboard and explained to Jiang Lige, "The black piece represents your country; this white piece represents your lover."
This chess game is cleverly arranged, and the confrontation between the black and white sides has reached a critical moment of life and death.
The white piece representing "lover" is placed on the edge surrounded by black pieces. Jiang Lige only needs one black piece to "kill" the white piece, reverse the situation, preserve all the black pieces, and win a great victory.
But if the black piece is placed anywhere else, it will be immediately strangled by the white piece, and all the black pieces will be wiped out.
Rather than playing chess, it is more like a choice between love and responsibility.
Jiang Lige didn't put down his chess piece immediately. He played with the round chess piece and spoke unexpectedly: "Senior, you must be the high priest of the Chi tribe."
