I cleared my throat. "Do you also have some unknown childhood experiences?" Yan Yan glanced at me as if I were an idiot. What a boring guy.
Fatty and Shi Yuhan were sitting together chatting. Fatty was just like that. Once he saw a beautiful woman, he couldn't move his feet. Before, he was a fan of some beautiful live - streamers and spent a lot of money on them. It was only after being scolded by his uncle that he calmed down.
This time when we came tomb - raiding, there happened to be a beautiful and master - level tomb - raider. It really fulfilled his wish. He'd probably be willing to die here.
Xu Yang and Song Yiran were leaning against each other and asleep. After going through such an incident, they were exhausted. It was good that they were asleep. When asleep, they didn't have to deal with those annoying things.
Yan Yan was still flipping through the book. Every time I saw him, he had the same expression, tireless. Couldn't he be a bit more lively, like me? That would be great!
Finding that everyone was busy with their own things, I silently squatted aside and took out the Yin - Yang Manuscript, looking through it again and again. There were too few records about the Qin Yu Tower. It would be good to have a general idea.
After chatting for a while, Fatty and Shi Yuhan each found a place to rest. The whole cave became quiet, and we could hear everyone's regular breathing.
Yan Yan was still flipping through that book. Sometimes I really admired his perseverance, and sometimes I thought he was really stupid like this.
I walked back to Yan Yan. Looking at his serious expression while reading, he really looked good. No wonder people said that serious people were the most good - looking. It was really true.
Yan Yan got impatient with my staring at him back and forth. He looked up at me helplessly. I quickly laughed it off. "You keep reading. I'm just looking around."
"Go to bed early. We have things to do tomorrow." Yan Yan was really speechless but didn't want to scold me, so he just advised me to go to bed early. It was impossible to fall asleep at this time.
"Um, do you have anything to say about what happened today?" I asked him tentatively, wanting to see what his opinion was on these strange things that happened today.
Yan Yan pursed his lips tightly, thought for a while, and slowly said, "The matter is more interesting than I thought." Then, I waited for three minutes, and he only said these few words with no follow - up.
It was so frustrating!
Yan Yan still talked very little. He was really a man who cherished every word. "Didn't you notice anything strange?" I asked further. "For example, the appearance of the Gu - insect corpse?"
"I've thought about it." And then there was no more. "So then? What did you figure out?" I asked. Yan Yan replied, "It was tampered with." Well, I couldn't get anything out of him. It was driving me crazy.
"Go to sleep early." I had given up getting any information from Yan Yan. This guy was simply a conversation killer. He just had a face that made people overlook his faults.
After the failed conversation, I leaned against the stone wall and went to dreamland. As for Yan Yan, I didn't know. But when I woke up early the next morning, I found him sleeping against the wall too.
The color of Song Yiran's arm slowly returned to normal, but it was still a bit inconvenient for him to move. However, his complexion was much better. As for Xu Yang, needless to say, the two of them who went to sleep the earliest were in high spirits.
Shi Yuhan was a very casual girl. Exploring the tomb with us four guys, she didn't pay much attention to her image. She was very carefree.
The stone cave we were in was connected to an exit. Going out from this opening didn't mean getting out of the tomb, but going deeper into it.
This time, Yan Yan led the way in the front. Xu Yang, taking care of the injured Song Yiran, walked in the middle, and I was at the rear. Now our fighting strength was much weaker than before. We had lost a powerful fighter.
Song Yiran's injury wouldn't heal in a short time. Besides him, there was also Fatty who couldn't fight. Before, it didn't matter having Fatty around, but now it was different.
On the way, Xu Yang carefully took care of Song Yiran. The latter always looked disgusted and wanted to refuse, but Xu Yang was too persistent. Song Yiran couldn't win against him, so he had to let Xu Yang take care of him.
The group groped their way forward. Yan Yan led the way carefully in the front, afraid that something strange would appear again.
"Be careful ahead. There are traps." Yan Yan looked at the skeletons on the ground ahead and the layout around. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over.
"Clang!" The stone landed in the middle.
"Whoosh!" In an instant, many arrows shot out from the surrounding walls. If a person had gone there, they would probably have been turned into a sieve.
Xu Yang protected Song Yiran behind him. Fatty hid behind Shi Yuhan. Yan Yan looked ahead, and I paid attention to the changes behind. Everything was okay.
"Why don't we try going around?" Song Yiran asked. "Since we can't go straight ahead, there should be no problem on the side."
Hearing this, Yan Yan picked up a few more stones from the ground and threw them from different positions and places. Finding that there was no problem, he decided to go from the side.
"Xu Yang, Song Yiran, and I will go to the left." Yan Yan ordered. "The three of you go to the other side." The rest were me, Fatty, and Shi Yuhan. We split into two teams for safety.
Yan Yan led the way, taking Xu Yang and the others to the left. Every step was taken carefully, paying attention to the changes on the ground and the walls. Finding that they were okay, Fatty, Shi Yuhan, and I also started to move.
The two teams passed the trap in the middle safely. When we reached the other end, we found that there were three fork roads. We just had to make a choice.
Fatty said, "Great. There are six of us. We can just split into three groups."
Song Yiran shook his head. "If we split into three groups with two people in each group, what if we encounter problems? Not to mention you, I'm still an injured person. Have you forgotten how much effort we spent dealing with the Gu - insect corpse?"
Yan Yan agreed with Song Yiran's view. For now, we couldn't act separately. Everyone had different abilities, and we didn't know what we might encounter.
"Then let's sit for a while and figure out what to do before we go." I plopped down on the ground and invited everyone to sit down and think of a way. Xu Yang helped Song Yiran sit down properly. Fatty and Shi Yuhan said they preferred to stand.
Our group was discussing the problem in front of the middle fork, but we couldn't make up our minds. Song Yiran thought we should choose the left one, and Xu Yang agreed. Yan Yan thought the right one was safer.
No one chose the middle one. Everyone had different opinions and was at a stalemate. But since we couldn't act separately, we had to continue negotiating.
We discussed this problem for more than half an hour. I really couldn't stand it anymore. "Let's draw lots. Stop being so entangled. Let fate decide." Saying that, I randomly found a stick on the ground.
"I'll spin the stick. We'll go where it points." I said. The others had no choice. Although this method was hasty, everyone approved of it.
I spun the stick. Everyone was looking at it expectantly, waiting for it to stop. The speed of the stick became slower and slower, and finally it pointed to the left - hand cave.
