Villager of Destiny

Chapter 187 Existence in the Tiankeng
The things here may be much scarier than I imagined.

At least, it shouldn't be as simple as I thought.

I saw that it was tempting me, and it should be clear, so it is very likely that it used my thoughts and led me into its trap again.

This trap begins with the appearance of the third aisle.

Although I have thought of it now, it is actually too late. Even if I go back the same way, there may be unexpected problems.

In other words, what is in front of me now is either to keep going.

Or just pull that thing out.

If you go on, there are three aisles now, and I can't be sure which one is the right one, because no matter which one I take, I can't be sure if this is another trap.

Then the best way is to get that thing out.

Determine exactly what it is, determine its purpose.

Thinking of this, I stopped and let it keep tempting me. I didn't choose to go any way, but stayed where I was, listening to the footsteps quietly.

As time passed by, I looked at the three aisles, heard the voices becoming more and more urgent, and watched the two figures appear and disappear from the aisles, but I just didn't move.

After a long time, it is obvious that it is a little impatient.

Other sounds besides footsteps began to appear.

Like a growl.

It's like the sound of human conversation.

It's like...

I narrowed my eyes and looked at the figure suddenly running out of one of the aisles, frowning.

Old eighteen.

The old eighteen looked very embarrassed, and seemed to have suffered some injuries.

When he saw me, he walked towards me quickly, pulling me to run.

I didn't move.

He said angrily: "What are you still doing? When that thing chases after us, none of us can escape."

"Where are you going?" I said looking at him.

He looked around, and then chose the aisle in the middle: "Just this one."

"Let's run away first, and it will be too late when it catches up."

I looked at the aisle in the middle, nodded, and followed him toward that aisle, while I asked, "What's that thing?"

"I'm not sure. When I met it, I was injured by it without even seeing its appearance. If I hadn't run fast, I might have died."

"Hurry up, we have to get out of here quickly."

Seeing his anxious look, I didn't speak any more.

It was a coincidence that he showed up.

However, this does not mean that there is a problem with his identity, but I still keep an eye out, and when I follow him, I am ready to cast the Golden Light Curse for protection at any time.

Soon we passed through this aisle, and to my surprise, another secret room-like place appeared in front of me this time, and a coffin once again appeared in my eyes.

It's just that the coffin was open this time, and there was also a figure kneeling in front of the coffin. That person had also been dead for an unknown how long, but it was somewhat different from the skeleton I saw before.

This skeleton seems to be a woman.

And judging by the almost rotting clothes on her body.

I saw a touch of familiarity.

Like a Taoist robe.

This surprised me a bit.

People wearing Taoist robes can almost be sure that there are only Taoist priests, but it is impossible to determine whether this woman is from the Maoshan lineage or the Tianshishan lineage.

At the same time, I also glanced at the old eighteen.

But he didn't seem to notice it. After coming here, he put his eyes on the coffin, and after looking at it for a while, he looked at me and said.

"We still have to continue to find the exit."

"Didn't you come here?" I looked at him and asked.

The old eighteen sighed: "I have been here before, but before I entered these eighteen sinkholes separately, I have no experience like now."

"Then are we under another sinkhole now?" I still looked at him.

He thought for a moment and nodded, "It should be."

"I have come down to each of the eighteen tiankengs, and there are indeed these things in every tiankeng, but..."

He hesitated.

"Just what?"

"These coffins are all opened, so it shows that there are at least eighteen strange existences in this sinkhole, and they may not want us to leave here."

"I've seen it before."

"I don't see an exit out of here."

"Can't even see the way to the outside sinkhole."

"in other words……"

His face was heavy.

"We're stuck inside."

"But don't worry." As if he was afraid that I would worry, he said again: "At present, the things inside should not really intend to attack us for the time being."

"We still have a chance."

I nodded.

Of course, I don't believe all of his words.

However, there is one thing he did say correctly, the exit here is gone.

This tiankeng is even weirder than I imagined.

After all, if we followed the way we entered the tiankeng, even if we are not under the No. [-] tiankeng, it would not be too difficult to find the exit of the tiankeng. In front of us is a walkway.

Where these passages lead I cannot be sure.

Seeing that I didn't speak, he glanced around and said, "There should be no danger for the time being. I'll go to another place and wait for me here."

Before I answered, he had already walked to one side, and then I watched him walk into one of the aisles, and I didn't look away until his figure disappeared from my eyes.

Even now, I can't be sure what's wrong with him. Of course, maybe there's nothing wrong with him, but I'm thinking too much.

But as soon as the idea came up, I dismissed it again.

Because just after he left under my nose, I heard a slight sound, and under that sound, the skeleton kneeling in front of the coffin also moved at this moment.

It stood up, and a layer of flames suddenly appeared all over its body. It looked like a living person, and the flames illuminated the surroundings even more.

This sudden change shocked me too. The most important thing is that even at this moment, I didn't feel any ghosts or the feeling of walking dead from its body, which is very strange.

The moment it stood up, it stared at me directly, and then rushed towards me at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at its appearance, I couldn't help but think of the two corpses I saw when I first came to Tiankeng Village.

They were also charred black.

Could it have something to do with this thing?
In addition, there is no skeleton in front of the coffin in the No. [-] tiankeng. Could it be that the skeleton has actually been burned to ashes?

And before turning into ashes, the skeleton killed those two people?
