2693 Mistake Her for Someone

They swam through the waterfall, then floated to the surface.

They were out of the other's view, so Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning directly flew up to the entrance of the cave.

It was wide enough to allow a person to walk in, so Leng Shaoting went inside first, followed closely by Gu Ning.

After they got inside, they had a stronger sense of the evil stuff.

It was completely dark in the cave, but Gu Ning didn't take out her night-luminescent pearl to light it, because they could see the road clearly with their ability to see in the dark.

The two of them walked ahead at once since the evil stuff was still a distance away from them.

Along the way, they saw many bodies and some tools they must have carried with them. All the tools were used to dig graves.

Gu Ning was slightly surprised and turned to look at Leng Shaoting. "Do you think there are treasures or ancient graves in this cave?"

She wasn't sure, but felt it was highly likely, otherwise there shouldn't be tools for grave-digging in the cave.

Gu Ning was excited to find out that there were treasures, but she wasn't sure whether the treasures were still there. If there were really treasures, she hoped they hadn't been taken yet.

"I think it's highly possible." Leng Shaoting agreed with Gu Ning. Seeing Gu Ning's excited face, he gave her a loving glance.

After that, they kept on walking while Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to search for treasures.

The cave was deep. They couldn't sense the evil stuff near them until they had walked for about ten minutes.

At the same time, Gu Ning saw a young man in white with gray hair sitting cross-legged in a chamber ten meters away from them.

The man had a deathly-pale face, but his features were as delicate as Leng Shaoting's.

However, in Gu Ning's opinion, Leng Shaoting was the most handsome man in the world. Even though there were men who were more attractive than Leng Shaoting, she would still only be attracted to him.

Once she was in love, she lost interest in any other men.

However, the man with his eyes closed suddenly opened his eyes. The next moment, he jumped into the water pool in front of him. He should have felt them coming, so he hid away.

After the man jumped into the pool, the evil power was gone as well. Water could hide the smell in the air.

Although there wasn't a wide gap for them to get in through the waterfall earlier, there were enough small gaps for air to flow in. As a result, they could sense his evilness from outside.

"There is a man. I don't know whether he's a ghost or a monster. He should have felt us, so he jumped into the water," said Gu Ning.

After that, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting went to the chamber where the man had been. In the cavern, the pool of water was the only way out. If ordinary people came in here, they could only return through the same way.

However, Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting understood that this wasn't a simple chamber. The pool was especially different.

With the help of her Jade Eyes, Gu Ning tried to see what was under it.

The water under the pool was very deep and rapid. If anyone went down, he would quickly be washed away. Even if he went down with a rope, it would still be difficult to hold on without enough strength.

It was totally dark under the water pool and Gu Ning could only see it clearly with her Jade Eyes, but the man was gone.

Gu Ning withdrew her gaze and turned to look around.

Up the river, about five meters away, Gu Ning saw another chamber and the man was in it.

On the ground of the chamber, there was also a pool of water. Obviously, the two pools were connected, and the man went through it to the second chamber.

Gu Ning pointed at the wall of the second chamber up the river and said, "There is another chamber five meters away. And there is also a pool of water on the ground. The man in white is in it right now. I think these two pools must be connected and there is a passage spreading out in the second chamber."

"Let's go have a look," said Leng Shaoting.

Without delay, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning went down to the pool. Although they were wet, Gu Ning used her magical power to make a barrier to separate them from the water. After all, it was more comfortable if they weren't surrounded by water.

Therefore, the rapid water didn't cause a big effect on them. They smoothly reached the pool in the second chamber.

At that moment, the man disappeared again. Anyway, as long as they got out, they could sense the evil power and could easily find him.

After Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting got out of the water, they sensed the evil power, but this time, the evil power was very strong and complicated.

Either way, it wasn't a threat to Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning.

Afterwards, Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning walked into the second chamber.

As they walked ahead, Gu Ning used her Jade Eyes to see in front. The chamber bent ahead and there was the third chamber about ten meters away.

What surprised Gu Ning was the ice all over it.

In the middle of the third chamber, there was an ice coffin and a woman was lying in it. Gu Ning couldn't see the woman's face clearly yet.

The man with the gray hair was sitting by the ice coffin, focusing on the woman lying inside.

Gu Ning told Leng Shaoting everything she just saw.

Right when Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting came close, the man in white sensed them. He gave the entrance a glare, then immediately walked out.

As a result, as soon as Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting reached the stone door of the second chamber, the man in white closed it behind him.

On the walls of the cave, candles were lit, allowing them to see each other clearly.

The man could sense that they were at a high level, so he stayed alert, but he was actually very angry.

He didn't want to have any conflict with them, because he was afraid that he was no match for them, so he hid, but unexpectedly they followed him.

However, the moment the man in white saw Gu Ning's face, he was stunned. "S-Shen Er?"

Shen Er?

Both Gu Ning and Leng Shaoting were struck dumb. They exchanged glances, finding it strange.

They guessed that the man might have mistaken Gu Ning for another girl.

Before Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning said anything, the man in white rapidly approached Gu Ning. When he was about to touch Gu Ning, Leng Shaoting stood forward and stopped him.

He knew that the man couldn't injure Gu Ning, but he didn't want him to be too close to Gu Ning, because obviously the man mistook Gu Ning for someone else.

Perhaps Gu Ning closely resembled the woman called Shen Er.
