I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 281 Lotus Heart Lake Mission

Just as they tied up the horses, an old woman suddenly appeared beside them, but did not attract anyone's attention.

Of course, this does not include Zhang Chengyuan, the mastermind of the game.

An Zhiyu was talking to Xu Yuankai. When she turned around, she saw an old lady standing beside her suddenly, smiling at her strangely. She was so scared that she fell silent and her body stiffened for a moment.

Other people also discovered this strange old lady one after another and became a little wary, but Zhou Yuyan was delighted. The guide said that the NPC of Lianxin Lake was an old lady named Grandma Lianxin, so this must be her.

She stepped forward and supported Grandma Lianxin and asked, "Grandma, why are you here alone?"

Granny Lianxin smiled and said, "This is my home, so it should be here. But why are you girls here in this remote place?"

An Zhiyu was about to interrupt, but Zhou Yuyan signaled her not to speak casually. She stopped talking at this point in the strategy guide, but did mention that Grandma Lianxin was not an ordinary person.

So she reasonably suspected that Grandma Lianxin had other identities, such as a gravekeeper, otherwise why would an old man or woman stay alone in the wilderness?

At this moment, Granny Lianxin asked in a strange voice: "Why can't you tell me?"

Several people saw it this time, and Jiang Siyou naturally replied: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law? We came here just because we heard that Lianxin Lake has beautiful scenery."

Granny Lianxin returned to normal and said lovingly, "I see. I was overthinking. You young masters and young ladies must be tired from the journey. Why don't you go to my house to rest for a while and have a simple meal?"

Several people were delighted and immediately showed joy on their faces. Zhou Yuyan was the first to say, "That's great. Thank you, mother-in-law."

Others also echoed, and Granny Lianxin smiled even more kindly: "Don't be polite, just follow me."

Along the way, the few people seemed to be chatting happily and easily, but in fact they were secretly observing the surrounding environment and silently thinking about the next plan in their hearts.

Zhou Yuyan said casually, "Mother-in-law, we are new here. I heard that there are many wonderful things in Lianxin Lake. Can you tell us about them?"

Granny Lianxin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said lightly, "These are just some rumors, there's nothing much to say."

Xu Yuankai replied calmly: "Mother-in-law, you don't know how mysterious it is outside, but it makes us very curious."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Lianxin just smiled and stopped talking.

Zhang Chengyuan suddenly said, "I heard that Lianxin Lake is guarded by a Lianxin grandmother. I guess you are the Lianxin grandmother."

Granny Lianxin paused, then continued walking forward and said, "Don't believe those nonsense. I'm just an old woman with nowhere to go."

An Zhiyu asked innocently, "Grandma, has this Lotus Heart Lake always been so beautiful and peaceful?"

Granny Lianxin smiled and replied, "It has always been like this. This is a blessed place."

An Zhiyu continued to ask: "Really? I don't think there's anything else here except the better scenery. Has grandma seen anything different? Can you tell us about it?"

Granny Lianxin's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "There's nothing much to say about this. You'll know it later."

Several people looked at each other, and became more certain that there was an ancient tomb here.

The few of them looked at the environment along the way and always had a bad feeling. The ground was overgrown with weeds, some half a person tall, swaying wildly in the breeze, occasionally scratching everyone's hands, feet and arms, bringing a slight itchiness.

There was almost no road, and it seemed that there were few people. The loess on the ground was very soft, and every step would leave deep footprints. There were scattered wild flowers in the grass, some purple and some yellow, but they seemed a little lonely in this desolate place.

The mountains in the distance are shrouded in a thin layer of mist, and the shadows are hazy, giving people a mysterious and depressing feeling.

From time to time, the sounds of unknown birds could be heard, breaking the silence and adding a bit of coolness.

The sunlight tried hard to penetrate the clouds and shine down, but it could only cast mottled shadows among the weeds.

Everyone walked carefully, fearing that they would be scratched by the thorns in the weeds, or that some unknown creature would suddenly jump out.

Finally, they heard what Grandma Lianxin said. They looked up but didn't see any house. They became alert, but then they saw Grandma Lianxin squatting on the ground, rummaging around in something.

Then they heard the sound of something heavy moving. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge rock as tall as a person moving, gradually revealing a hole.

It was at this time that Granny Lianxin said in a sinister voice, "Go in."

Several people shuddered at the same time. An Zhiyu directly hugged Xu Yuankai's arm. When they turned around, they saw that Grandma Lianxin's expression was no longer kind and gentle, but scary.

Her face was filled with a gloomy aura, and her eyes revealed a strange light. Without further ado, she pushed them into the ancient tomb with one palm.

She just laughed heartily: "Hahahaha...I will be free soon."

The people who were pushed into the ancient tomb kept rolling down the stairs. They finally stopped, but they were all injured.

Zhang Chengyuan protected Jiang Siyou as he rolled down. He was the one most injured and only had scratches.

Next was An Zhiyu, who had Xu Yuankai as her scapegoat and only had her arm broken.

The other three were covered in wounds, especially on their foreheads and backs of their heads, where they had holes. Broken bones were minor issues.

Several people fell and felt dizzy and in pain. Even if they stopped, they could not stand up for a while and could not see clearly what was in front of them.

Before they could recover, footsteps were heard in the empty tomb passage. The sound was particularly clear in the silence, and every step seemed to step on their hearts, like a death warrant.

In an instant, the atmosphere became tense. An Zhiyu and others couldn't help but feel nervous and fearful. They urgently needed to seek the presence of people around them to gain a little courage to face the unknown situation that would follow.

An Zhiyu couldn't see and was very dizzy, so she could only reach out and grope. Finally, she touched a corner of the clothes. She immediately grabbed it tightly and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother Kai, is that you?"

Xu Yuankai felt his clothes being pulled, and heard Xiaoyu's trembling voice. He immediately pretended to be calm and said, "It's me, don't be afraid."

As he spoke, he tried hard to move towards An Zhiyu's direction following the force. He was seriously injured and his eyes were like blind, unable to see at all.

Zhou Yuyan was also blinded. Her eyes were filled with blood. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Don't panic, this is a game. We can get back online after we die."

As soon as this sentence came out, everyone felt relieved. Jiang Siyou even suggested: "How about we commit suicide and log off the line and come back tomorrow?"

Xu Yuankai was next to An Zhiyu and was in the mood to talk: "Wait a minute, what if we have to do it again tomorrow?"

Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. I still have medicine here."
