Chapter 21: The One-Armed Mummy

*Da, da, da... * In the dark tomb corridor, a group of people were rushing forward. Among this group, one person was always walking in front, leading the nine people behind.

In the narrow corridor, the leader would stop from time to time to check the ground. It was because of this leader's guidance that this group of people didn't get lost in this corridor with multiple forks.

At this moment, the leader stopped again, and the nine people following behind all stopped. After the leader confirmed the way forward again, the leader immediately walked into a corridor on the right, and the nine people behind him followed him into the corridor on the right. But when everyone walked into the corridor on the right, they discovered that this corridor had suddenly become pitch black, and the crowd became panicked, with some even letting out fearful screams.

"Don't panic, there is no danger here." At this moment, a slightly displeased voice sounded, and this voice suppressed the panic caused by the darkness. "Light your fire tools, we will continue forward." That calm voice began to issue commanding orders again.

*Puff, puff, puff... * Nine fire tools were lit one after another, and the dark corridor instantly became bright. The panicked crowd seemed to have found some comfort and instantly lost the panic they had when they first entered.

"Who told you to light all the fire tools? Keep three fire tools for lighting, and extinguish all the others. Zhuge Xiong, Zhuge Xun, and Zhuge Yu's fire tools stay lit, extinguish everyone else's torches. When the three of them have burned down, light three more. Zhuge Lang, Zhuge Yu, and Zhuge Quan, your fire tools will follow Zhuge Xiong's as the second wave of lighting tools. Zhuge Ding, Zhuge Hua, and Zhuge Mei, you are the last wave." That calm voice came again.

"Yes, Brother Zhuge Zhan." The nine people answered immediately after hearing this voice, and at the same time, the other six people immediately extinguished the fire tools in their hands, leaving only three fire tools lit.

"Alright, now everyone follow me and continue forward." The leader, Zhuge Zhan, continued to say, and after speaking, he also lit his own fire tool and continued to walk forward, and the others followed.

"Brother Zhuge Zhan, why haven't we arrived yet? These are our last three fire tools. If we can't get out of here, we won't have anything to light the way." Someone in the crowd was getting a bit impatient and started to worry, afraid of falling into darkness again.

"We're almost there. Everyone, pay attention and feel if you can feel the wind blowing." Zhuge Zhan heard someone ask worriedly, so he answered, wanting to stabilize the emotions of this group of people. If not, it would be easy for the team to disintegrate due to panic, and then it would be difficult to deal with that thing. He didn't know that thing still had one on its right hand, and it had activated the thing on its right hand and left. At that time, if it weren't for the thing on its right hand, his sword would have definitely killed it. Now it had escaped to the depths of the tomb, and he didn't know what was inside; it might have helpers. If he went in alone, he might not be able to defeat it, or even encounter its helpers, and it would be difficult to retreat unscathed. So he had to bring these people, at least they could help him stall the potential helpers. If there were no helpers, then everyone could attack together, which would be more efficient and reduce unnecessary casualties. If he got that thing, his combat power would definitely be greatly improved, and he would definitely be able to pass the selection. Thinking of this, the corners of Zhuge Zhan's mouth couldn't help but curl up, revealing an evil, charming smile.

"Mm, I think I feel it. It's wind, I feel it, the exit is in front." After Zhuge Zhan told them to feel if there was wind for a short while, someone also felt it and shouted excitedly. Following the first person who felt the wind, others felt it one after another. After feeling the wind, they were all excited, as if they had gone through a long darkness and suddenly found light shining in.

Since they could feel the wind, it meant that the exit was not far ahead, so they didn't have to continue walking in this dark, damp, and stifling corridor.

"Let's hurry up, the exit is in front. Let's get out quickly. Damn, I'm going crazy in this bird corridor." At this moment, a loud-voiced person said loudly, clearly feeling very stifled in this corridor. Now that the exit was in front, he just wanted to get out quickly.

"Then everyone speed up, let's reach the exit quickly. At the same time, everyone be prepared for battle. That thing might be waiting for us at the exit, and this time it might even have helpers, so everyone must be prepared for battle, just in case." Zhuge Zhan said again.

"Okay, Brother Zhuge Zhan, we will definitely protect ourselves. Last time we were able to beat it to a pulp, and now you have obtained that thing from it, so our chances of winning are even greater this time. We will definitely be able to kill it and get the other thing, so our chances of passing the selection will be even greater." At this moment, Zhuge Xiong, who had been standing beside Zhuge Zhan, said happily. "Yes." "Mm, yes, we will definitely be able to kill it and pass the selection." "Right." "Right, we definitely can." Others also echoed.

"Good, everyone start accelerating now, let's rush over." Seeing that everyone was so excited, Zhuge Zhan immediately issued the order to accelerate, leading everyone to rush forward, wanting to reach the exit as soon as possible, find that thing, kill it, and obtain that thing.

Upon hearing Zhuge Zhan's order, the crowd immediately quickened their pace, and finally even started running, rushing toward the front. After running for nearly three minutes, they gradually saw light in front, and at the same time, the wind blew toward them, which swept away the stifling feeling they had before, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace again and run toward the bright place in front.

"Finally out, damn, I was going to suffocate. Where is that thing? I want to chop it now." Zhuge Xiong said loudly after running out, as if he wanted to vent the stifling feeling he had before, and instantly felt refreshed. "Haha... the feeling of coming out is really good." "Right, it's really good to come out, hahaha." After everyone came out one after another, everyone shouted happily.

"Roar, roar, roar!" But just as everyone was immersed in the excitement of coming out, an angry roar came from not far away. Not far from them, a humanoid monster wrapped in white cloth, leaving only a pair of eyes and a mouth, appeared in front of them. Looking closely, they discovered that this humanoid monster wrapped in white cloth only had a left arm left, while the right arm area only had some shredded cloth hanging from its shoulder and dangling down, as if someone had forcibly torn its right arm off. Now, the monster looked just like a one-armed mummy. ===== CHAPTER 22 =====
