Chapter Twenty-Five The Sound from Inside the Mine Tunnel
To not exaggerate, facing these overwhelming Blood Vine Gu, Liu Haoyu couldn’t even say he could win, let alone Chang Wenxu.
His role was basically an informant, without much combat ability.
“Didn’t we go to the hospital?!”
Chang Wenxu said while running wildly and gasping for breath.
“Why did it turn into a cave in the blink of an eye!”
Regarding this, Liu Haoyu could only guess. He had already witnessed the abilities of the Night Walker once in Jiding Village.
The opponent seemed to be able to directly pull people into an illusion without being noticed.
In other words, from the moment the two got into the ambulance, the place they went to was not the hospital… but Ye Shangfeng’s mine tunnel.
“Zhenlei Talisman!”
Terrifying Blood Vine Gu kept appearing on the rock walls of the mine tunnel, trying to devour them directly.
But Liu Haoyu was not to be trifled with. He held several Zhenlei Talismans and blasted them directly at the Blood Vine Gu in front of him.
“Open it for me!”
“Boom!”
The shockwave from the explosion instantly knocked them to the ground and repelled all the approaching Blood Vine Gu.
When Liu Haoyu and Chang Wenxu got up again, the exit of the mine tunnel had appeared before them.
However, on the road leading to the outside, several strange dark figures stood silently.
They were like dazed lonely ghosts, or like broken skeletons gnawed to bits by monsters.
But undoubtedly, they blocked the only path for the two to escape.
When Liu Haoyu approached these shadowy figures, a cold mountain wind blew into the mine tunnel, carrying a disgusting and strong stench of corpses.
At this moment, the two finally saw clearly what was standing in front of them.
They were the miners from the group photo.
But they were no longer human. Their bodies were covered in blood holes of various sizes, as if something had drilled into them from within.
“You… stay…”
The resentful souls of these miners also noticed the two trying to escape the mine tunnel. Their lower jaws, connected only by a thin layer of flesh and blood, kept opening and closing, making a “creaking” sound of bones rubbing together.
Then, in just a moment’s distraction, the two found themselves back in the depths of the mine tunnel.
Liu Haoyu had experienced this kind of “ghost hitting the wall” once when he was in the mine tunnel.
His brain was rapidly thinking, trying to break this disgusting ghost-conjuring trick.
But he had to admit that the Night Walker’s strength was superior to his, so trying to break it by force was almost impossible.
“Didn’t you say your wife is a female ghost? Let your wife come and help!”
Chang Wenxu was clearly very flustered at this moment. He looked at the spreading Blood-colored vines around him in terror.
“At the speed these vines are spreading, if we don’t think of a solution, the exit will eventually be completely blocked by them.”
Liu Haoyu certainly knew this. In the pitch-dark mine tunnel, he lit a cigarette, forcing himself to calm down.
“Brother Liu, this is not the time for smoking…”
Chang Wenxu wanted to say something more, but seeing Liu Haoyu’s calm and serious expression, he quietly closed his mouth.
The Blood Vine Gu around them were repelled by Liu Haoyu’s Zhenlei Talismans again and again, but they kept surging back like a tide.
The two hid in a chamber of the mine tunnel. No one knew how long this fierce assault would last.
Qin Liu had not come out with him and Chang Wenxu, and it was difficult for her to know his predicament at home.
And the original plan with Wu Yixuan was to go up the mountain tomorrow night, so he couldn’t come to pick him up tonight.
In this desperate situation, Liu Haoyu took out the Soul Extinguishing Nail from his backpack.
This item had devastating power against ghosts and monsters, and even the Night Walker couldn’t withstand its attack.
But it was a pity that this thing could only be used once…
As Liu Haoyu was thinking about whether to use this item, a deep and hoarse voice suddenly sounded from the darkness.
“The wall on the left…”
“Who is talking?”
Chang Wenxu was startled by this sudden voice.
However, at this moment, Liu Haoyu’s expression stiffened.
“The wall on the left…”
The voice repeated, as if guiding them on what to do.
Liu Haoyu also snapped out of his daze. He gritted his teeth, repelled the Blood Vine Gu with a Zhenlei Talisman, and then rushed to the left wall.
The sharp-eyed Chang Wenxu immediately saw the strangeness on the wall. In the cracks, there were pipe-like objects hidden.
They were… blasting caps.
And a large bag of blasting caps!
Given the amount here and the dilapidated state of the mine tunnel, if not handled well, the entire tunnel could really collapse!
“This thing is incredible.”
Chang Wenxu secretly swallowed his saliva.
“That voice doesn’t want us to…”
However, Liu Haoyu did not answer Chang Wenxu’s question at this moment.
Ever since he heard the voice, his expression had been very complicated, as if he wanted to say something, but couldn’t say anything.
After a long while, Liu Haoyu asked the empty chamber.
“What next?”
“Take these explosives to Mine Tunnel E12… set them off there…”
The voice, from goodness knows where, seemed to be guiding the two’s direction.
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s continued silence, Chang Wenxu now seemed to have gained trust in this sudden voice.
He said to Liu Haoyu.
“You know this voice?”
Liu Haoyu nodded, then said to Chang Wenxu.
“Let’s go, we’re going to Mine Tunnel E12.”
“This?”
Chang Wenxu seemed confused. Why would they go the wrong way when there was a right path?
And it’s known that Mine Tunnel E12 is a dead end.
If these blasting caps were detonated in there, wouldn’t they be buried alive on the spot?
“Brother Liu, are you really not possessed?”
At this moment, Chang Wenxu was starting to doubt if Liu Haoyu was being controlled by something.
“Or do you trust this voice very much?”
Liu Haoyu did not answer, he just kept walking towards the depths of the mine tunnel.
Seeing his insistence, Chang Wenxu also gritted his teeth.
“Fine! Today, I’ll accompany you to the death!”
With that, the two began to walk towards the depths of the mine tunnel.
For some reason, when escaping, they had to face the pursuit and blockage of the Blood Vine Gu.
But the deeper they went, the quieter it became, and even the Blood Vine Gu behind them had disappeared without them knowing when.
“There… install it…”
The voice guided Liu Haoyu to place the explosives on the rock wall at the deepest part of the mine tunnel, as if breaking through here would reveal the bright world outside.
