Koi Fubao: Being loved by everyone on the road to escape from famine

In an instant, bright red blood flowed slowly along the cold stone statue like a stream, accompanied by a deafening roar, as if the entire cave was shaking.

Yu Wu was already dizzy at this moment, but he still looked up instinctively and saw the impending disaster. Fear made him want to escape, but it was too late. The giant foot fell and the spark of life was instantly extinguished.

Outside the cave, Xiao Zhixue and Fan Yanmu looked at each other, and they both knew that this sudden change was all due to Xiao Zhixue's push just now.

Fortunately, after the loud noise, the cave regained its tranquility and the stone statue returned to its original dead silence, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusory dream.

Fan Yanmu picked up a torch from the corner and said to Xiao Zhixue solemnly, "You go out and wait for me. I'll go in and check the situation."

However, Xiao Zhixue is not someone who gives up easily. The real purpose of her adventure this time is to find the legendary treasure and bring it into her own secret world.

She shook her head resolutely, picked up a torch, and said firmly: "Now that we have come here, we must not return empty-handed."

Facing Xiao Zhixue's insistence, Fan Yanmu nodded slightly and stopped trying to dissuade her. "Okay, but be careful and follow me closely. There may be more traps hidden in the cave."

So, the two of them, holding torches, stepped carefully into the dark and spacious cave.

Inside the cave, apart from the two extremely ancient sarcophagi and a stone statue, there is nothing else around, creating a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

They slowly approached the sarcophagus. Fan Yanmu first bowed deeply to it and whispered devoutly, "I am sorry to have disturbed the peace of the two sages. It is only because of rumors that the secrets of your family are hidden here that I have come to visit you. I hope you will forgive me."

Xiao Zhixue followed closely behind, imitating Fan Yanmu's appearance and also expressing her respect.

Fan Yanmu carefully inspected the sarcophagus and observed every part in detail, but the surface of the sarcophagus was smooth and normal, and he did not find any mechanisms or abnormalities.

And the stone statue did not move at all even when they walked, as if it was really just a dead statue, quietly guarding the secrets of this sleeping land.

He patted Xiao Zhixue's shoulder gently, signaling her to stay where she was, his deep eyes revealing unquestionable determination.

Afterwards, Fan Yanmu walked slowly alone in the dim room full of traces of time. His steps were light and steady, and every step seemed to be conducting some subtle dialogue with this ancient space.

His fingers tapped lightly on the mottled stone walls around him, making a "thump thump" sound that was particularly clear in this silent environment, as if every strike was trying to awaken a secret that had been sleeping for thousands of years.

However, after a careful search, nothing was found except the echoing hollow sound.

Fan Yanmu frowned slightly, and returned to Xiao Zhixue with a little disappointment. He stared at the stone coffin that looked particularly cold and lonely, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that there is no trace of treasure here. Maybe we should look for another way."

There was a barely perceptible trace of loneliness in Xiao Zhixue's eyes. She had been expecting to uncover an ancient secret and find the hidden passage leading to the treasure, but she had never expected that there was nothing here except a cold sarcophagus and a few silent stone statues.

She lowered her voice and said with some reluctance and sarcasm: "The ancients really took great pains. If there is no treasure, why bother to display these stone statues to add to the horror atmosphere?"

Just as she finished her words, as if in direct response to her complaint, a creepy clicking sound suddenly came from inside the sarcophagus. The sound echoed in this closed space, and the air seemed to solidify.

Xiao Zhixue couldn't help but feel a chill rising from her tailbone, and her body trembled involuntarily.

Seeing that something was wrong, Fan Yanmu immediately grabbed her arm tightly, stepped back a few steps swiftly, and stared vigilantly at the sarcophagus that suddenly moved with his sharp eyes.

"Could it be that there is a secret that can bring about resuscitation hidden inside the sarcophagus?"

Although Fan Yanmu had many doubts in his heart, his tone was more calm and composed.

Even Xiao Zhixue, who has always been bold and daring, couldn't help but feel afraid when faced with the possibility of resurrection from the dead.

At this moment, accompanied by a continuous clicking sound, the originally still stone statues on both sides seemed to be activated by some unknown force. Their eye sockets began to slowly rotate, and the stone eyeballs seemed to be suddenly given life, revealing a strange light.

Immediately afterwards, a sudden rain of arrows shot out from the eye sockets of the stone statue. The arrows were as dense as raindrops, and the sharp tips flashed a cold luster under the light of the torch.

Fan Yanmu reacted quickly and protected Xiao Zhixue behind him. The torch in his hand was like a dancing fire dragon, drawing fiery tracks in the air and intercepting many deadly arrows that were whistling towards him.

However, a torch alone could not withstand the tidal wave of arrows.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Fan Yanmu made a prompt decision and pulled Xiao Zhixue to quickly retreat to the exit of the stone chamber.

In the end, the two returned safely to the safe area outside the stone chamber.

Fan Yanmu immediately and nervously checked whether Xiao Zhixue was safe and sound, and his caring eyes revealed an unconcealable worry.

"Are you sure you're okay? Are you injured anywhere?" he asked anxiously.

Xiao Zhixue shook her head gently, a trace of self-blame and fear flashed in her eyes: "I'm fine, really."

Deep down, she was upset about her previous gaffe and realized that her lack of reverence for the relics of the ancients almost brought her a disaster.

The two of them luckily escaped the disaster, but the sudden rain of arrows not only left them with lingering fears, but also made Xiao Zhixue even more convinced of the secret in the stone chamber - there must be the treasure she had always dreamed of hidden there.

Xiao Zhixue looked up at Fan Yanmu, her eyes showing both determination and provocation: "How about trying again? If you're scared, I won't force you."

Upon hearing this, Fan Yanmu curled up a playful smile. He was a person who was not afraid of life and death. Death was just a stop in his life journey.

"Are you so eager to know the secret? Even if there really are such treasures, how can you guarantee that you can bring them out safely?" he asked back, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhixue secretly calculated that the mysterious space she possessed that could accommodate everything could no longer be kept secret for long.

After all, the change of wealth from nothing to something was too abnormal, but she was reluctant to reveal all her cards until the mystery was revealed.

She smiled gently, her tone full of confidence: "My method is naturally unique."

After saying that, Xiao Zhixue turned around and walked towards the entrance to the unknown stone chamber. Her steps were firm and full of determination.
