Chapter 524: The Marvelous Use of the Heaven-Sent Pot

~4 min read 621 words

Half-Li Li's wretched state made the audience unable to suppress their shock.

Not only were his legs broken, he had also suffered inhuman torment — he was probably covered in wounds all over!

Now he had been thrown into the tomb chamber, and the tomb door was shut.

With no food or water, the air slowly growing thin, and no medicine to treat his injuries!

It could be said that Half-Li Li was now not far from death.

Even if he didn't die today, once Second Senior Brother and the others came back tomorrow and continued their interrogation, he would have no chance of surviving.

Half-Li Li's situation now was the true desperate strait!

Unless a deity descended to save him, given the current circumstances, even experts like Old Lady Huo and Zhang Yueshan could think of no way to save themselves.

Because Half-Li Li's legs were broken, if he tried to prop himself up with his upper body and inch forward slowly, his palms would be worn raw before he could move a few meters.

And relying on himself alone, he had no way to push open the tomb door, nor could he climb out through the tomb's ceiling.

It could be said that Second Senior Brother and the others throwing him here not only made the tomb chamber a natural prison.

They also had the purpose of leaving Half-Li Li here to scout out the risks.

Chale Gai had said they had to leave the high ground before twelve o'clock; although Second Senior Brother and the others had to comply out of fear, that didn't mean they weren't curious.

Leaving Half-Li Li here and coming back tomorrow to see if he was dead or not would tell them whether Chale Gai was telling the truth!

That was quite a clever calculation.

The emcee on the side-glance strip of the stage reminded Zhang Lin of the time again.

Zhang Lin sped up his words: "After Second Senior Brother and the others left, Half-Li Li wailed and beat the ground for a long time, and finally, under the pain of his injuries and exhaustion of his strength, he passed out!"

"What happened next was, for Half-Li Li, both incredible and incomprehensible!"

"At least at that time, he had no idea at all what he had encountered."

"It was only many years after returning to Old Changsha, as Half-Li Li learned more and more about the earth, that he gradually came to understand One's Own Situation."

"Earlier you should already have the impression — Half-Li Li smelled a strange, moist odor in the tomb passage."

"When his hand touched the wall of the tomb passage, he also felt a chill; Half-Li Li even judged that the entire outer perimeter of the tomb chamber was surrounded by water."

"But when Half-Li Li, in his haze, truly heard the sound of water, he thought he was hearing things."

"It wasn't until the sound of water grew more and more surging that he suddenly jolted awake!"

"That sound of water was not the sound of flowing water, but the sound of tides rolling in like ocean waves!"

"After Half-Li Li woke up, he opened his eyes wide, but it was pitch black — he couldn't see anything at all!"

"Then he felt a chill coming from his broken feet."

"Half-Li Li was so frightened he hurriedly reached down to feel, and his hand came away wet — he realized his feet had just been submerged in water!"

"Half-Li Li was greatly alarmed and immediately began to shout."

"But he was the only one in the tomb chamber, and he was in absolute darkness — no matter how he called out, no one could possibly come."
