The businessman tried to help Xu Lan to his feet. However, due to Xu Lan’s weight or for other unknown reasons, he was unable to lift him up. It was as if that he lost his backbone and resolved into a pool of mud.
“Humph! Don’t think that I’ll let you off like this! If you’re not going to wake up, I’m leaving!”
“Bai Wu!” Xu Lan roared as he held onto Bai Wu. ‘A man does not shed tears easily’, but the businessman saw tears flickering in Xu Lan’s reddened eyes.
“Motherf*cker! I’m really leaving! I’m never coming back!” Xu Lan stood up and said bitterly with his fist clenched tightly, tears fell down his cheeks.
“Is that really the elder? Could it be that he bears some resemblance to him?” Someone mumbled carefully.
“Are you silly! Resemblance? How can it be such a coincidence that the bite mark on his leg by the Gu worm was exactly the same?” Another person slapped the back of the man’s head and said with exasperation.
Markings spread on Bai Wu’s leg, with the bitten area as the origin. The vines had also crept up his calf.
“… Let’s go, all of us can’t just stay here. Let’s see if we can follow the subsurface stream and flow out of here,” Xu Lan said suddenly after remaining silent for quite some time. His calm demeanor was totally different from the man who just had a nervous breakdown.
“You plan to bring him along?” Zhang Fei asked astonishingly when he saw Xu Lan securing Bai Wu over his back.
“We are left with the mission from Yanyi village. However, the village chief and Wu Ling are dead, leaving us trapped in the catacomb. If we can figure out why Yanyi village only gives birth to female babies, the dimension can transport us back to the safe zone.”
Xu Lan ignored Zhang Fei and carried Bai Wu to the open ground in front of him. He would not leave Bai Wu here in the coffin regardless.
“Yes! We haven’t completed our mission yet! Nevertheless, how did an unofficial deity possess such powers that he could send us all here into the catacomb?” the crew-cut guy asked puzzledly. Xu Lan’s eyes flashed and an evil thought suddenly emerged in his mind. If somebody died in exchange for Bai Wu, would he come back to live?
“When the sky turned dark, did you guys look clearly at those red wordings that appeared?” Xu Lan pondered furtively about the huge wordings that emerged in the sky without notice, as well as that vile thought of his.
“No, at that point in time, the village chief and Wu Ling had reached a stalemate. Bai Wu only spoke one sentence and that unofficial deity became hostile all of a sudden. When we regained consciousness, we were already in the catacomb,” the businessman said firmly after recollecting his memories.
“Since we did not complete the mission, we are still in the middle of the mission. The blood-red wordings float across the air, “Warning, warning! Players, please take note, escape from Yanyi village! A hidden mission has been triggered by the unofficial deity traveler. There are no specific details on this mission. You will receive a thousand gold coins if you complete this mission without any upper limit. Only those players who can figure out the reason why Yanyi village had no male offsprings will be transported back. We wish you a safe trip.”
“…So, the unofficial deity and the master of the dimension are accountable for our trip to this catacomb? So, in other words, this event happened by chance? The master of the dimension had no idea if any of this will happen at all, or else there wouldn’t be a warning right?” The businessman hesitated and asked while he exchanged looks with Zhang Fei and Sheng Ya.
