Wen Le said with a bitter face, “I hurt them? How was that possible? I would be thankful if they didn’t bite me, but they really did. Master, do you know what I just saw?”
“What?”
“A snake! Those centipedes were not big, but they could actually eat such a long snake. I’m really nauseated.” As Wen Le spoke, he thought of the group of colorful centipedes crawling back and forth on the snake’s body with their dense legs to eat meat. His stomach suddenly began to vomit acid.
Su Meng did not see the scene, so she did not react. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she heard that Wen Le did not hurt the centipedes.
Social animals were the most annoying. Although they were small, if they attacked you in a large group, you would not be able to do anything.
They were like a group of ants hunting for food.
“Do you know what kind of centipede this is?” Su Meng asked.
Wei Ting bent over to take a look and then shook his head. “I’ve never seen it before. It seems that this thing only lives underground. They panicked when they were suddenly illuminated by light.”
Fortunately, these centipedes only looked a little scary. There were not many of them, so they did not pose a threat to them at the moment.
Su Meng bandaged up Wen Le’s wound and packed up her things. She wanted to leave but Wen Le had no intention of leaving.
“Master, I’m fine. I was just bitten by a little poisonous creature. It’s nothing serious. I’ve been stung by scorpions before. Aren’t they even more poisonous? I’m fine. It wasn’t easy for us to get in here. Let’s solve the problem first, or we’ll have to come back in the future. I’d rather be bitten by this thing than be entangled by that thing again. I’ve had enough.”
“Are you sure? Then what if the poison threatens your life?”
“Haven’t you heard of it? On the ground, the brighter the color, the more poisonous it was, because they don’t have to change their color to protect themselves. But it’s different underground. Most of the things underground are non-toxic, and even if there is, it’s only a small poison because they don’t have natural enemies and don’t need to rely on poison to protect themselves.”
Su Meng did not try to persuade Wen Le to stay as it was not her job.
She was not familiar with these poisonous creatures and she did not know if they would be dangerous. Since Wen Le was not worried, there was no need for her to meddle in other people’s business.
Su Meng turned around and walked back into the tomb. She was not afraid of the skeleton at the door, but she felt sorry for it.
She was lying in her coffin, but she was thrown to the ground by two men who came from outside. Not only that, but they also took away the treasure in her coffin. Anyone who experienced this would be angry.
Su Meng took out a small incense burner from her bag and placed it next to the coffin. She took out five incense sticks and lit them up. She inserted them into the incense burner and bowed to the coffin seriously. Then, she burned two talismans beside the coffin. After that, she just stood there quietly and looked at the lit incense.
The five joss sticks were lit neatly, and the smoke slowly rose in a spiral, indicating that everything was going smoothly.
“Come here.” Su Meng turned around and asked Wen Le to go in.
Wen Le heard Su Meng calling for him and quickly walked into the tomb. However, when he reached the door and saw the pile of bones in the middle of the door, he did not dare to continue walking in.
“Master, what should we do about this?” Wen Le pointed at the bones and asked Su Meng.
This skeleton had appeared in his dreams every day, scaring him every day. Wen Le was so frightened that he was almost going to have a nervous breakdown. Now that he saw the real thing, he didn’t even dare to look at it.
“Just come over when I tell you to. Be careful not to step on her.”
Su Meng kept urging him. Wen Le knew that he should listen to Su Meng now but he was really afraid of this skeleton. He could only look at it and did not dare to take a step forward.
Just as Su Meng was starting to get impatient, Wei Ting finally spoke.
“Do you want to go in by yourself or do you want to be kicked in by me?” Wei Ting said coldly.
Wen Le did not doubt Wei Ting’s words at all. He would definitely do as he said. If he was kicked in by Wei Ting, there was no guarantee that he would not touch the skeleton. He might as well walk in himself. He didn’t have a second option. He gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and walked over the bones to Su Meng.
Wei Ting wanted to go in as well but was stopped by Su Meng. She was helping Wen Le solve the problem and it had nothing to do with Wei Ting. If Wei Ting came in, there might be new trouble.
