Chapter 783: Chapter 783: This Place is Very Dangerous (Seeking Monthly Votes!)_1

The semicircular rock wall at the center suddenly began to rain down—oh, no, upon closer inspection it was not rain, but rather black characters that were as tiny as raindrops!

A bizarre scene appeared!

These little characters continued to fall like grains of rice, piling up incessantly. At first, they accumulated in the center of the space, but soon spread outwards.

"We can’t go on like this; the space will be completely filled!" Cao Shan urgently shouted, "Let’s get out of here, quickly leave this place!"

However, when Cao Shan turned and rushed towards the passage, he was horrified to discover that the passage had disappeared!

The rock wall was intact!

"What, what’s going on!?"

Cao Shan kept slapping the rock wall, but even as his hands became painful from the hitting, the wall remained as it was.

"It’s over, it’s all over, we’re done for, this thing is actually a trap!"

Archaeology is itself a profession with a fairly high degree of danger, and Cao Shan had long considered his own end, but he had never imagined it would be by such a death.

Sun Lin quickly supported the slumped-over Cao Shan. Turning to you, he said, "Mu Yun, quickly think of something! Otherwise, all of us are going to die here!"

You didn’t respond to Sun Lin, but instead turned to look at Zi Qian, "Zi Qian, did you get a clear look at that black bird just now?"

"No," Zi Qian shook his head.

You asked, "Did you make out anything about it?"

Zi Qian replied, "A part of it."

You said, "Be specific."

Zi Qian said, "It seemed to have four wings, and its tail was a bit like a peacock’s."

You said, "Four wings, tail like a peacock, body pitch black, can you guess what it might be?"

After pondering for a moment, Zi Qian nodded and said, "It should be the totem of the Qin people, the Mysterious Bird."

Zi Qian’s opinion didn’t differ much from your guess, but you thought of something more, it wasn’t just the Mysterious Bird, it should be "Mysterious Bird with its eggs falling."

You remembered having seen the Qin people’s totem in a book before. The ancestors of the Qin were senior officials of the Shang Dynasty, thus they inherited the totem of the Shang, the "Mysterious Bird." However, to differentiate, their totem depicted a Mysterious Bird soaring into the sky, then dropping some black eggs, and the Qin people would catch them with their hands. Afterwards, seedlings and wheat would grow from the earth, symbolizing abundance.

Everything before your eyes generally matched the totem of the Qin people, but were those accumulating characters the Mysterious Bird’s eggs?

Definitely not!

What could they be, then?

You were perplexed.

The black characters continued to pile up, forcing all of you against the rock wall.

Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu also kept moving closer to you until they were right beside you, while Zhao’er had already been embraced in your arms.

"Yun, should we get out of here?"

Zhao’er suddenly spoke.

You kissed Zhao’er on the forehead, smiling as you said, "Don’t worry yet, this should be our only chance to enter the First Emperor’s Mausoleum. If we miss it, we won’t be able to find Jiu Xianmin."

Seeing your composed expression with no trace of urgency, Zi Qian quickly asked, "Brother Li, what should we do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait?" Everyone turned their heads to look at you.

"Little Yunyun, we’re all about to die here, we can’t just wait!" Ju Hua also desperately tried to squeeze over to your side, but by that time the black characters had already reached your waists, making it impossible to move.

And at that moment, one of Sun Lin’s other disciples, the usually silent and reticent Tu Zhiqing, finally spoke up, "The Qin people have always revered the color black, their national flag, rooftops, and armor were all black, and the common people distinguished nobles from low-class men by wearing black clothes. If I’m not mistaken, these black characters aren’t trying to drown us, but are painting us."

"Painting?"

Tu Zhiqing’s novel idea enlightened you.

He clapped his hands immediately, laughing, "Just as I thought! Now, everyone, close your eyes, and we’ll soon enter the Zero Boundary!"

As she spoke, black characters had already covered Ke Min’s face, who was relatively short in stature.

Seeing Ke Min about to be submerged, Yang Runzhang, her boyfriend, had no other thoughts. He steeled his heart, embraced the thought of dying together, and plunged his head directly into the black characters.

Soon, the two of them were covered and submerged by the black characters.

"Ke Min, Runzhang!"

Sun Lin hastily called out their names, but they didn’t respond.

When the black characters submerged Zhao’er, you could clearly see that she had disappeared from your embrace, and simultaneously the hands of Wu Qiyi and Xi Yu, who were grasping your arms, also vanished into thin air.

After that, another batch of people in the room was submerged, and in the end, only you and Qin Han were left. It had to be said, this fellow was almost as tall as you, and he was also very robust.

You exchanged a glance with that Qin Han, who was smiling at this moment. His smile gave you an indescribable feeling of disgust.

When the black characters submerged your body, you clearly felt as if you were floating, as if the black characters had turned into water, immersing you within; it was like they had transformed into wind, making you drift amongst them.

In short, when you opened your eyes, you found yourself standing in a grassland, surrounded by people on all sides.

"Yun."

Zhao’er walked up to you and gazed steadily at you.

"Zhao’er, what’s the matter?"

While locking gazes with Zhao’er, you suddenly noticed a glint of sharpness flashing in her eyes.

"This place is very dangerous."

"Hmm?"

A place that even Zhao’er says is dangerous?

Turning your head to look around, you realize you’re in a quite extraordinary place. Here there are mountains, water, trees, and the sky, along with clouds drifting by.

The only difference from the outside world is that the sun above your heads seems not so scorching, and its light isn’t too harsh.

At the moment, you are in the midst of a forest, unable to see the scenery in the distance. You can only first clarify the situation around you.

"We should start by taking a head count to see if anyone is missing."

While Sun Lin and Cao Shan were counting people, they quickly realized that one person was missing.

"Who is missing?" you ask them.

Sun Lin and Cao Shan exchanged glances, and Cao Shan said gravely, "Qin Han is gone."

Qin Han?

Your eyebrows raised, an odd sensation came over you again.

"Where did he go?"

"Has anyone seen Qin Han?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Forget it, don’t worry about him for now. My gut tells me this guy isn’t so easy to kill. He might very well be at some location in this place right now; there might have been a deviation during the teleportation. Let’s look for him as we go."

"Alright."

Cao Shan and Sun Lin nodded in agreement.

Excluding Qin Han, Cao Shan’s group consisted of four people: Cao Shan himself, Zi Qian, Zhang Dadong, and Wang Chongyang; Sun Lin’s group, besides himself, included Ke Min, Yang Runzhang, Ju Hua, and Tu Zhiqing.

With Sun Lin and Cao Shan present, the people were still united, and no chaos had broken out yet, but you knew this situation would soon be disrupted.
