Chapter 338: Chapter 60_3

Tan Wenbin also spoke up at this time: "Yes, I guarantee."

Unfortunately, the densely packed dead bodies around them showed no reaction, and the chill wind was growing colder and colder.

Tan Wenbin expressed his puzzlement: "How come it feels like speaking is useless?"

Xue Liangliang whispered: "Maybe it’s because this isn’t your dad’s jurisdiction."

Li Zhiyuan didn’t want to dwell on this any longer; he pushed Run Sheng from behind.

Run Sheng got the hint and stepped on the Taiji pattern.

Nothing happened.

Run Sheng looked around and asked, "Xiao Yuan, is there anything else we need to do?"

Li Zhiyuan shook his head: "Brother Runsheng, come out, I’m going in."

"Okay."

Run Sheng stepped out, and Li Zhiyuan stepped in.

Then Li Zhiyuan also came out and signaled Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin to follow suit and try stepping on it one by one.

After all four had stepped on the Taiji pattern, still nothing happened.

"Brother Xiao Yuan, what do we do next?" Tan Wenbin asked nervously; he noticed that white smoke was starting to rise from the dead bodies around them.

The water in the pond was also becoming colder, gradually reaching bone-chilling temperatures.

Li Zhiyuan had only one word in response: "Wait."

The temperature was dropping lower and lower; everyone’s legs submerged in the water were already freezing red.

Run Sheng bent down and lifted Li Zhiyuan up.

Li Zhiyuan didn’t refuse and climbed up onto Run Sheng’s back.

Scanning the surroundings, ice was starting to form on the dead bodies.

Pale breath could be seen coming from them as Tan Wenbin and Xue Liangliang started to shiver.

Li Zhiyuan reassured: "Just hold on a little longer."

Tan Wenbin hugged his arms and said with a trembling voice: "Can we really get out like this?"

Xue Liangliang chattered through his teeth: "Xiao Yuan must be right; even if we find the door, it takes a bit of time to get out. Remember how the truck disappeared after we entered and left the village?"

Tan Wenbin, his lips turning purple from the cold, still couldn’t help but say: "Brother Liang... you really know how to... deceive ghosts."

Xue Liangliang couldn’t help but glare at him: "You... your brain must be frozen... don’t be so blunt... saying it out loud."

Li Zhiyuan raised his hand with difficulty and said: "You two have the energy to talk... you might as well hug each other for warmth."

Xue Liangliang and Tan Wenbin immediately got the idea and huddled together like penguins; although the warming effect was slight, it at least provided some psychological comfort.

Li Zhiyuan added: "It has nothing to do with them... it’s because we... are about to get out."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Zhiyuan felt darkness enveloping them; as the cold vanished, he began to fall.

"Splash!"

The water below was very cold, but compared to the freezing conditions before, it felt practically warm, though a bit sticky.

Moreover, since the fall was so unexpected, and Li Zhiyuan had been on Run Sheng’s back, his face smashed flat against the water upon impact – the surface was water, yet the fall was painfully harsh.

This caused him to be dazed for a moment after hitting the water, and he began to sink further.

When Li Zhiyuan regained his senses, something suddenly slapped him on the back, causing his body to unavoidably move in the direction of the force.

But quickly, a hand grabbed his clothes, and an arm wrapped around his waist, exerting force and rapidly pulling him up to the surface.

Upon reaching the surface, Li Zhiyuan started to cough violently.

"Xiao Yuan, are you okay?"

Although it was pitch-black around him, Li Zhiyuan could still tell that it was Run Sheng holding him in the water.

Earlier, Run Sheng must have dived in to find him; due to the lack of light, he had to constantly move his arms and legs trying to expand his reach, and the slap Li Zhiyuan felt before was probably Run Sheng accidentally hitting him.

Fortunately, Run Sheng quickly realized and pulled him up.

"Cough cough cough..." That was Tan Wenbin’s coughing, nearby.

"Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, Binbin and I are over here," Xue Liangliang’s voice came through.

It must have been Xue Liangliang who pulled Tan Wenbin up because Xue Liangliang was a good swimmer, after all, he was meant to have a secret rendezvous at the Yangtze River.

The two parties moved closer following each other’s voices until they finally regrouped.

Xue Liangliang: "Is this a pond? It’s so deep. Since there’s no light, the ceiling should be a cave; we must have come out of the interstitial space."

Li Zhiyuan: "Now the question is, how do we get out of here and onto the shore? We can’t see anything and have no idea how wide this pond is."

Run Sheng: "Xiao Yuan, you guys wait here for me. I will swim in one direction to see how long it takes to find the shore. If it’s a rock wall, I’ll swim back and try another direction. A few attempts, and we’re bound to find land."
