Chapter 93
The leader bloody bats soon started another attack, but it was defused by Jiang Chen.
In the end, the leader bloody bats left reluctantly, along with the other bloody bats.
“The bloody bats have retreated.”
People were relieved. They lit their torches again and saw their surroundings were full of dead bloody bats. There were some dead human bodies as well.
“Get out of here! Hurry up!”
None of the four groups wanted to stay there any longer. They didn’t stop for any rest until they were already hundreds of feet away from the site of terror.
“Fortunately, we have disciples of the Natural Law School here. Otherwise, we would have been doomed.”
“Here we are!”
After almost one day’s walk, they finally reached the entrance of the passage.
They saw a black hole below them.
Deagle threw his torch into the hole. By the dim firelight, they could tell whether the hole was straight down. After a few tumbles, the torch finally disappeared.
“This is where the collapse happened. It’s about 20 yards deep. Then, there’s a long slope. It’s very narrow down there. Some parts can only hold one person,” Wu Fan said.
This passage had been produced by a landslide. Of course it wouldn’t be easy to walk through.
“Shall we go down in groups?” someone suggested.
“We’ll go first!”
The four groups said at almost the same time. This was a treasure hunt. It would be risky for those who took the lead, but they could take the best treasure first.
It took them some time to discuss, but no group was willing to give way.
In the end, someone proposed that each group send a few people to go down. And they finally reached consensus.
“We’ll go last,” Jiang Chen said in a low voice.
“Why?” Wen Xin didn’t understand his intention.
Wouldn’t the last person to find treasure receive nothing?
“Trust me.” Jiang Chen didn’t explain. By then, none of his doubts had yet been confirmed.
He smelled death on Wu Fan and his three companions.
At the same time, Jiang Chen was thinking of Wu Fan’s dagger.
It was surely a good dagger in the eyes of a spiritual bladesmith.
The thing was, a spiritual weapon would lose its energy and dim if it was kept for too long.
As soon as it was brought to light again, it’s dazzling state was impossible to match.
“There might be treasure down there, but it won’t be easy to take.”
