Chapter 265 Qinling Sacred Tree (24)
Just when everyone was at a loss, the female ghost suddenly spoke up, "Maybe I have a way."
Maybe only Wu Xie and the other two were at a loss. Ji Xiao knew how to get out. Black Glasses believed in the couple, and he also knew how to leave, so he did not participate in the discussion between Wu Xie and Fatty.
"However, this method is somewhat dangerous." The female ghost looked at Wu Xie and Fatty and said.
"What method? Tell me quickly!" Wu Xie asked anxiously.
The ghost pointed to the darkness ahead and said slowly, "There is a door there with some strange symbols engraved on it. Only by solving the puzzle of these symbols can you open the door and leave here. But if you solve it wrong, your life will be in danger."
Wu Xie and Fatty looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant. After all, if something went wrong, their lives would be in danger.
However, at this moment they had no choice but to take the risk, because it was an underwater tomb. Even though the space was large, there was no flowing air and there was very little oxygen inside. If they didn't find a way to get out, even if they didn't starve to death, they would suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.
Wu Xie gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's give it a try."
So they walked toward the dark stone wall and carefully examined the symbols on the door. These symbols looked ancient and mysterious, making people feel puzzled, and they did not seem to be from any period or any kind of writing recorded in history.
However, Wu Xie still tried to decipher the meaning of these symbols by guessing based on the ancient books he had read over the years, while Fatty relied on his half-baked experience.
Time passed by bit by bit, Wu Xie and Fatty frowned and thought hard about the complicated symbols on the door, but they still couldn't figure it out. Just when the two were at a loss, Ji Xiao and Zhang Qiling slowly walked over.
"I say, you two, how can you just keep guessing aimlessly like this?" Ji Xiao kindly reminded.
"What can we do?" the fat man asked anxiously.
Ji Xiao pointed at the symbols on the door and explained: "These symbols are not arranged randomly. There must be some kind of pattern between them. You need to find this pattern to solve the puzzle. However..."
Wu Xie nodded frequently while listening, and felt that Ji Xiao was right. When Ji Xiao finished speaking, he couldn't wait to ask, "But what?"
"But Aning is still in there. If no one takes her out, she might die in there."
"Oh my god, I was so busy thinking about this broken door that I forgot about her! What happened? Hasn't she escaped yet?" Wu Xie shouted in surprise.
"Well... Who knows if she ran away first? It's all her own fault that she ended up like this." The fat man curled his lips and muttered with some gloating.
The female ghost in white added coldly, "No, but she has been unconscious for a long time. If we don't find a way to take her away from here, I'm afraid she will die soon."
Hearing this, Wu Xie asked anxiously: "But we don't know where she is! How can we find her?"
At this time, the female ghost in white spoke again: "I know where she is." This answer gave Wu Xie hope.
Then he pleaded, "Then could this young lady please lead us to find her?"
However, the ghost in white rolled her eyes (really an exaggerated eye roll) and responded indifferently: "Oh? Then what benefit can I get? After all, she was running around in such a big house by herself. I was very kind not to kill her directly."
The fat man standing nearby was shaking with fear. He said tremblingly: "Uh... Miss, can you please restore your eyes to normal first? This is really too scary."
The female ghost in white just snorted softly, but still obediently returned to normal and said lightly: "Then follow me." As soon as she finished speaking, she flew out lightly.
"Fatty, come with me." Seeing this, Wu Xie said to Fatty Wang before leaving.
"Alright, alright. Fatty, I'll go with you." After saying that, he followed Wu Xie away.
Afterwards, the two followed closely behind the female ghost in white and went to find Aning together.
With the female ghost leading the way, it didn't take long for the two men and the ghost to successfully bring the unconscious Aning back.
Wu Xie carefully placed Aning on the ground, then quickly took out a bottle of water from his backpack, gently lifted Aning's head, and slowly fed her a few sips.
After making sure that Aning was not in immediate danger of life, Wu Xie felt relieved. He returned to the stone wall with Fatty Wang to continue studying the mysterious symbols.
However, this time, thanks to the guidance of Ji Xiao, an "expert", they soon discovered the hidden connection between these symbols. After some attempts and efforts, they finally combined these symbols according to a specific rule. Then, they pressed these symbols in the correct order, and only heard a dull sound, and the closed stone door slowly opened.
As the stone door opened, a dazzling and bright light instantly shone in, making people squint their eyes. Wu Xie and Fatty Wang felt a sense of relief, but more of it was an irrepressible excitement.
After the door opened, Wu Xie carried An Ning on his back without hesitation and walked out step by step. Fatty Wang followed closely behind him, carrying both of their backpacks in his hands.
Black Glasses had little presence during this trip and didn't participate in anything. However, because he didn't want to see Zhang Qiling and his wife showing off their love, he followed Wu Xie and the others closely, leaving Ji Xiao and Zhang Qiling alone at the end of the team.
