Chapter 44

p a little brighter.When they reached the tomb and were about to perform the topping-off ceremony, a woman named Yao Yumen stopped. She knelt down and touched the stone foundation, letting out a soft..."Crunch, crunch..."

I first heard a series of sounds coming from beneath the pool, like the sound of large iron chains being tightened.

At almost the same time, the ground beneath our feet suddenly began to sink!

"Run!"

Sun Lao San reacted very quickly. As soon as he felt a hint of danger, he took three big strides and jumped out of the pool. Sun Lao Da also followed closely behind and jumped out of the pool.

Click, click.

The sound of the chain grew louder.

At this moment, three headless stone statues suddenly turned their bodies around, facing me.

"Yunfeng! Xiaohong! Jump up quickly!" Third Brother shouted anxiously.

The whole concave water storage tank was sinking very quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had already sunk nearly two meters deep.

At this moment, with my jumping ability, it's already too late to jump up now.

"Rope! Boss! Get the rope!" A mole's expression was anxious, she shouted loudly upwards.

Suddenly, there was another snap, like the sound of a steel cable breaking.

Before the elder brother could lower the climbing rope, the speed at which the water reservoir was dropping increased by a few more points.

"Come, Yunfeng!" A bead of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"It's too late! Squat down! Hug the stone carving!" She demonstrated first for me.

A tremendous feeling of weightlessness filled my whole body. I could no longer see Big Brother and Third Brother above me. I was terrified and froze in place, completely at a loss.

Seeing me lost in thought, a mole on my lip, she ran over two steps and pulled me away.

Only then did I realize what was happening and hurriedly hugged the same stone man as a mole.

I learn by a mole knee slightly bent.

At this moment, I saw that there were hundreds of thick bronze chains on the surrounding stone walls!

I and a mole are clutching each other's arms, now we can't do anything, we can only watch ourselves and the pool sink together.

A huge splash of water.

The impact was too strong, I couldn't hold the stone man anymore, and I was knocked back and lay down.

First, there was a feeling of coldness on my back, then the whole body felt cold.

The water in the underground river is very cold.

The water came up so fast, I was still dizzy and couldn't react. By the time I was a little more clear-headed and tried to run, it was too late.

Because I can't swim, I choked on several mouthfuls of water. I screamed for help with all my might.

I kicked and flailed my arms wildly, shouting nonsensically.

The body began to sink.

I feel like my lungs are about to explode, I'm drowning and gasping for air.

At the edge of consciousness, images from my past life flashed through my mind like a rapid slideshow.

There's Grandma's presence, my uncle's gaze, the teachings of my elder brother, and Lily's smile.

I tried so hard to grasp these, but I couldn't catch any of them.

Consciousness is fading away little by little.

This is the time.

I don't know if it was a deathbed hallucination, but suddenly I felt someone hugging me from behind.s back."Third brother, Big brother," I called out twice.The torch only illuminated a small area in front of me, the surroundings were very dark.I called out twice, but no one answered me.I swallowed n...
