Chapter 1900: A Matter of Life and Death
It was apparent that it was impossible to go back the way they came.
At this moment, the pool of water gushed into the round hole with the carved wall, and an icy current reached their ankles in the blink of an eye.
Everybody looked outside in confusion.
Suddenly, they saw a monstrous fish with serrated teeth jumping inside from the interior of the round hole, and it swam rapidly toward them.
Dao Wuji widened his eyes and cursed, “These d*mn fishes have come again!”
“Go, go, go, go, go!!” Everybody shoved each other forward as they sprinted ahead.
They jostled each other as they passed through the tomb’s side palace.
Who knew what hysterics this tomb was up to all of a sudden. Everybody dashed through the corridor as their bodies lurched back and forth inside the quaking tomb. Their expressions were grave.
Were eighty percent of the artisans who built this tomb newbies?
Otherwise, how was it possible that such a large tomb would start shaking when so many of them entered the side palace?
…
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu, Mo Lian, and Feng Chen were running at the very front. They turned the corner and then halted after a while.
“F*ck, this couldn’t be a dead end right?” Dao Wuji squeezed through the crowd as he walked up to the three people. He gazed at the path that had been sealed completely with heavy stone blocks.
“Let me try!” Dao Wuji mustered up some spiritual energy and was just about to smack it out.
Yet Feng Chen abruptly stopped his palm strike.
“Don’t act rashly.” They were inside the corridor at this time, and the underground tomb behind them was also crumbling down nonstop. If Dao Wuji added another reckless palm strike, it would probably cause the entire corridor to collapse....
In that case, everybody would likely get buried alive in this corridor.
“Then what should we do now?” Dao Wuji glared at Feng Chen furiously. “It’s a road to death everywhere: Death would occur if you continued fighting, and waiting here without leaving was also tantamount to dying!”
“What are you all still dawdling for. Go quickly!!” You Xin started screaming in terror.
Everybody could only see an icy current engulfing the corridor they were in.
As the water flooded the area, the monstrous fishes also swam over. They would occasionally jump five feet high and chomp on people’s calves.
“This friggin’!” The little fatty bent over to tie up the bottom of his trouser legs. He also pummeled a monstrous fish that pounced on them with his fists before sending it flying.
“Fly, fly up.” Zhou Danjin leapt up as he gave this grave order.
Everybody took to the air one by one after hearing this announcement. No matter how those monstrous fishes jumped up, they were unable to bite people’s legs anymore.
If this continued, this would probably only tide them over momentarily.
Because the icy water from the pool would soon fill up this corridor, they would be completely submerged inside the water at that time. This would also greatly affect everybody’s movements.
Qi Xuanxuan flicked a purple sword in a circle with a flourish before cleaving open three monstrous fishes that were barrelling toward her.
Her pretty face sank as she shouted, “We have to quickly think of a way to leave this corridor.”
Based on the rate that the current was rushing in, they only had approximately 10 minutes before the corridor would fill up completely with water.
At that time, those monstrous fishes would be the dictators of the water. If they got surrounded, it would be a battle of life and death!
Qiao Mu did not do anything at this time. A good many students from Sunlight Academy jostled them aside and pounced on the stone blocks barring their way. They groped around as if to find a mechanism.
On the other hand, You Xin and He Wei each squeezed the other party to the side as they each gathered in front of a stone block.
