Free Web NovelChapter 1151: Chapter 1150: Thunder and Lightning! A Sudden Mutation!
After returning to the room, Lin Fan sat on the bed deep in thought, while the others sat on either side of him. Miao Qiaomei had also followed, with a trace of apology on her face!
The Miao People’s disagreement weighed heavily on Lin Fan’s heart. If he were willing, he could forcibly open the tomb passage or secretly dig, but that wasn’t the method Lin Fan desired!
After all, he considered Miao Qiaomei a friend. If he did so, Miao Qiaomei would be unable to account for it to her tribe, which is why Lin Fan chose to retreat under pressure and prepare to think of another way!
Miao Qiaomei, feeling guilty, said, "I’m sorry I couldn’t help you!"
"How could you not have helped? I should be the one to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I might not have found the tomb’s location by now." Lin Fan said with a gentle smile.
"But, although the tomb is found, if we can’t open it, how is that any different from not finding it?" Miao Qiaomei said.
"At least, having found it, we have a way. If we couldn’t find it, we wouldn’t even have the last chance." Lin Fan replied.
"Boss! Why don’t we just forcefully blow open the tomb passage? After all, we’re fully armed. I don’t believe these Miao People aren’t afraid of bullets. Whoever tries to stop us, I’ll shoot them!" Nie Lei said angrily, still holding a grudge over what happened earlier!
"No way!"
Miao Qiaomei immediately shouted, her eyes cold as she looked at Nie Lei, saying, "Everyone in the village are my tribesmen. I can help you find the tomb entrance, but if you dare to harm my people, don’t blame me for being rude!"
"Well, great princess, you tell us, do you have any ideas?" Nie Lei shrugged and said.
Hearing this, Miao Qiaomei found herself in a dilemma again!
Perhaps Miao Qiaomei could slowly persuade the tribesmen in the village, and Lin Fan could win them over, but who knows how long that would take? Lin Fan couldn’t wait too long, nor could he afford to wait!
Lin Fan said to Miao Qiaomei, "Would it be better if we persuaded the elders in the village?"
"The few elders hold great authority. Besides listening to me, the tribe also listens to them. If they band together, they are even more authoritative than me!" Miao Qiaomei said.
"It seems we can only focus on these people. Once they agree, the matter becomes easier to handle!" Lin Fan said.
"The few elders in the tribe are rather old-fashioned and very stubborn. Do you have any ideas?" Miao Qiaomei asked.
"Not yet, I’m thinking. I’ll let you know once I come up with something. For now, let’s all get some rest. If the tomb is opened, we won’t have much time to rest!" Lin Fan said.
"Understood!"
Everyone nodded in agreement!
Subsequently, Miao Qiaomei left, and Nie Lei and others began to rest!
However, Lin Fan didn’t dare to rest. With a cigarette between his fingers, he occasionally took a heavy drag, leaning against the bedpost, his mind racing.
But even after thinking for a whole day, Lin Fan could not come up with the best plan!
The day passed quickly, and during dinner, Miao Qiaomei specifically warned Lin Fan and the others not to go out at night because it was now the rainy season. The Miao People have a unique way of observing the weather, and they knew it would rain heavily that night!
Moreover, Miao Qiaomei warned Lin Fan that during the rainy season in the Miao Race, whenever it rains, there would be lightning and thunder, which is incredibly frightening. There was once a Miao person who went out in the middle of the night during heavy rain and was struck dead by lightning!
Lin Fan nodded secretly, and after dinner, he returned to his room!
Until midnight, at twelve o’clock!
"Crash!" "Crash!"
Finally, a whirlwind blew in the sky, causing the branches on the mountain to crackle incessantly. The chilling wind, with its piercing sound, was like the intense battle of thousands of troops and horses!
"Boom!"
At this moment, a huge thunderous sound suddenly echoed!
Lin Fan had never slept, and as soon as the thunder sounded, he turned his head to look out the window!
To Lin Fan’s surprise, the lightning was extremely fierce and thick, resembling an angry dragon!
Moreover, the thunder kept rumbling, with lightning flashing like angry dragons in mid-air, looking incredibly terrifying, illuminating the entire night sky!
However, what shocked Lin Fan the most was that he noticed the thunderbolts in the high sky seemed to be attracted, falling constantly from above and heading towards the direction of the Miao Race’s back mountain!
This scene made Lin Fan frown!
Could it be that the Snake Woman statue worshiped by the Miao Race is truly a deity? Is it drawing the lightning towards itself to protect the village from lightning harm?
But soon, Lin Fan shook his head to dispel these chaotic thoughts!
After all, he was an atheist, not believing in gods or ghosts. Those were merely figures concocted by ancient emperors to conquer the world, creating deities for the people to worship so they could better rule the world!
Lin Fan mulled over this for a long time but could not make any sense of it, so he decided to finally get some rest and sleep!
...
The next morning, at dawn!
"Bang bang bang~"
Suddenly, a knocking sound was heard!
Lin Fan, who was not really asleep, immediately opened his eyes as soon as the knocking started!
Nie Lei and the others were also woken up by the knocking!
"Who’s knocking so early in the morning? Can’t we sleep?" Nie Lei complained!
"There might be something up, let’s all get up!"
Lin Fan said as he put on his coat and opened the room door, where Miao Qiaomei stood in front of him!
"Up so early, is there something wrong?" Lin Fan asked, puzzled.
"Lin Fan, something bad has happened!" Miao Qiaomei said in a flustered and urgent tone.
At these words, Lin Fan’s brow furrowed tightly, and instantly the lightning and thunder from last night flashed through his mind, leading him to a possible conclusion!
"What’s the matter?" Lin Fan asked hastily.
"Come with me to the back mountain!" Miao Qiaomei said!
Lin Fan did not dare delay and immediately told Nie Lei and the others, "Get dressed right away and come with me!"
Then, Lin Fan and his group left the room and quickly headed towards the back mountain!
On the way, the sight that unfolded before Lin Fan changed his expression dramatically!
He saw that the ground was dotted with deep pits, some of which were pitch-black and emitting wisps of smoke!
This scene was as if a fierce battle had just taken place here. Moreover, these weren’t the results of a cold-weapon confrontation; the deep pits were like the aftermath of shelling!
Following Miao Qiaomei, Lin Fan quickly reached the back mountain!
At this time, a crowd had gathered in front of the Snake Woman statue; nearly the entire village had come!
From afar, Lin Fan could hear murmurs of conversation laced with fear!
