288 We need to find him before its too late

After Shi Ciahong, Li Yiqian too looked at the group and with a shake of his head started to walk after Shi Caihong. Two of their group members were already heading inside the tomb, so there was no chance of them leaving now—— Fan Ehuang and Li Na exchanged a glance with each other before turning to look at Tao Guotin.

" If something happens, then I am holding the two of them accountable," said Fan Ehuang as she clasped the scared Li Na's arm. " I won't leave the two alone now that they have walked down the stairs but if something happens then you are kicking them out of the group."

" That's right," Li Na shivered as she looked at the dark entrance chimed up. " I don't want such reckless friends, if they stay in the group, then I am going to leave."

After that, the two of them too started to climb down the stairs and followed Shi Caihong and Li Yiqian.

Tao Guotin stared at the two girls and was left speechless, they all just came to have fun here. How come just in an hour the entire trip turned into 'it's either us or them?'

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Kong Kun patted his shoulders and said, " What are you wasting time for? Hurry and turn on your smartphone, don't you have to live stream this? We need to shove this thing up that bastard's face."

Only then did Tao Guotin snap out of his daze and took out his cellphone but as soon as he tried to turn it on, he realised that the damn thing was out of battery,  no matter how many times he pressed the button it didn't turn on.

Tao Guotin's handsome brows scrunched up, what was this? For the sake of saving his smartphone's battery, he didn't continue to do Livestream in a rhythm instead he paused the live stream in between making sure to save his battery but his cellphone still ran out of juice. Really?

He turned to look at Kong Kun and somewhat exasperatedly said, " Hey Kun, give me your cellphone mine seemed to have run out of battery."

" What? Really?" Kong Kun was surprised that Tao Guotin's special twelve-hour battery smartphone ran out so soon, he shook his head and fished out his cellphone as he handed it to Tao Guotin. " I did tell you to buy the same model as me, look now your exclusive model smartphone has turned into nothing but a paperweight."

" Haha," Tao Guotin laughed dryly but as soon as he tapped on Kong Kun's smartphone, he was surprised to find that Kong Kun's smartphone was switched off as well and what was more, no matter how much he tried to turn it on, it wasn't working.

He blinked his eyes and then waved the smartphone in front of Kong Kun but because his other arm was locked around Mei Xing's waist his movements were limited and he ended up waving it in front of Mei Xing's face. " What were you acting smug for your bastard? Your smartphone is dead as well."

" What no way? Are you pulling my leg?"

" Is your leg long enough for me to pull you dumb shortie?"

The two of them were busy quibbling and didn't look at Mei Xing who was staring at the black screen of the phone. On the black screen, greenish fumes seem to be flickering as a hazy figure appeared on the smartphone's screen. Its eyes were hollow as if they have been ripped out and clothes marred in dark, rotten blood—— when her gaze met his, the figure smiled so wide that rotten flesh seem to drip down his face as he spoke in a sing-song voice, " Come, my dear… I am waiting for you … I have been waiting for you all…hihihi…"

Compared to the ugly face on the screen, the voice of the figure was extremely pleasant but Mei Xing wasn't fooled, she was sure that there was some problem with this figure's voice because her bracelet was burning even more harshly against her skin.

As soon as she blinked her eyes, the scene in front of her changed and the figure was gone but in place of the figure, it was Li Yiqian who was standing next to two big stone figures carrying a sword and a shield. He seemed to be looking around, his hands tapping here and there as if he was looking for more hidden mechanisms and a second later he did find one but unlike the one that he found earlier this one didn't open the door to a lost tomb instead it opened the door of hell!

The moment Li Yiaqin touched the hidden mechanism, the two figures on either side unleashed their terror, immediately two walls at the bottom of the figures opened. Underneath one of the figures was an old necklace, the very same one that the Emperor wore in the portrait, seeing the necklace something seemed to have gotten inside Li Yiqian. Ignoring the many skulls and bones that were scattered inside the hidden room, he calmly lifted the necklace and wore it.

As soon the necklace touched his neck another roar ensued in the tomb followed by a loud thunderclap. She watched as his eyes started to bleed as they turned ghastly dark as if he was possessed by something an eerie smile playing on his lips and then he strode out of the room ignoring the calls of his friends before vanishing in the dark.

" No! We have to stop him! We need to stop him!" Mei Xing seemed to have sensed that something was going to go very wrong, so she immediately shouted startling both Tao Guotin and Kong Kun, the two of them exchanged a look with each other before Tao Guotin grabbed her arm and jolted her awake. " What is going on with you? Why are you screaming like that, you almost scared me to death."

However, Mei Xing paid no heed to his questions, instead, she clutched his arm and hissed urgently, " We need to stop Li Yiqian before it's too late!"
