Free Web NovelChapter 1161: Chapter 1160: Life and Death Bridge
Xiang’Er’s voice resounded, causing everyone’s gaze to simultaneously turn in the same direction!
At this moment, not far away, there was indeed a passageway. Inside the Heaven-Covering Passageway, only a few lamps were lit, not very bright, rather dim!
Roar! Roar! Roar!
A series of massive roars arose, and huge zombies began to move, charging toward Lin Fan and the others!
Lin Fan dared not hesitate and immediately shouted, "Leave from this side immediately!"
"Understood!"
Nie Lei and the others shouted loudly!
Lin Fan took the lead and went toward the passageway first!
The speed of the huge zombies was relatively slow, so with the fast pace of Lin Fan and others, the zombies couldn’t catch up!
The passageway was very deep, and Lin Fan didn’t know exactly how far they had gone. His hand was tightly gripping the Soft Sword!
Everywhere in the ancient tomb was dangerous; Lin Fan didn’t dare be careless for even a moment, and sweat oozed from his palm due to the tension!
Lin Fan wasn’t worried about himself but had to ensure the safety of Nie Lei and others who were following him!
Very soon, after passing through this passageway, what appeared before Lin Fan and the others was a tall gate tower!
Under this gate tower, there was no door, just a stand-alone gate tower!
Due to the dim surroundings and the gray bricks and tiles of the gate tower, it looked extremely eerie, giving a momentary illusion of being the bloodthirsty mouth of a ferocious beast!
On top of this gate tower, were indeed three large characters "Ghost Gate"!
"Boss, could this really be the gate to hell?" Nie Lei swallowed, his face full of gravity!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
At this moment, a rumbling sound came from behind Lin Fan and the others, and the speed at which the zombies were approaching was not slow. A dense mass was closing in on Lin Fan and the others!
Lin Fan dared not hesitate and immediately shouted, "No time to worry about so much, rush in immediately!"
"Understood!"
Nie Lei and the others shouted urgently!
Lin Fan still took the lead, setting an example, and as he approached the entrance, he felt a cold wind blowing from within the gate, brushing against his face like a knife cutting across his skin, burning fiercely!
"Once inside, everyone must be cautious and alert. Nie Lei, Heaven and Earth, Shunzi, prepare your weapons, and attack immediately if there’s danger!" Lin Fan reminded loudly!
"Don’t worry, boss!" Nie Lei responded.
"Let’s go! Go in!"
With Lin Fan’s words, he plunged through the door!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~
As Lin Fan and the others entered, a sound echoed from inside!
The surroundings were lit by torch lamps one by one, illuminating the interior of the tall gate tower brightly!
Most astonishingly, what appeared before them was indeed a very deep abyss, spanning it were suspension bridges. These wooden bridges swayed in the wind, looking very dangerous!
However, there were not just one bridge but three!
Additionally, each bridge ended at a tall stone pavilion supporting four more suspension bridges!
The entire abyss was filled with stone pavilions, like a maze!
Lin Fan walked to the edge of the abyss and looked out, not seeing a pitch-black deep abyss below but a flowing ocean of rolling liquid, green in color, with wisps of green flames burning on its surface!
"Boss, what do we do now?" Nie Lei asked.
"There’s no other way; we can only charge through!" Lin Fan took a deep breath and moved to dash forward!
"Wait a minute!"
At this moment, Xiang’Er’s urgent shout suddenly came!
"What’s wrong?" Lin Fan stopped and turned around to look at Xiang’Er with confusion!
Xiang’Er hurriedly shouted, "These aren’t ordinary bridges. If we take the wrong one, it could be life-threatening. We must find a safe bridge to cross!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fan frowned, immediately picking up a stone from the ground and throwing it onto one of the bridges!
"Clatter, clatter, clatter!"
The stone rolled across the wooden bridge, and each contact with the bridge surface ignited a green flame, until it settled on the bridge surface, a cluster of green flames formed, enveloping the stone!
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
A scorching sound came!
The stone, under the crazy burning of the green flames, quickly turned to ashes, and the green flames vanished!
Upon seeing this, Lin Fan and the others gasped in surprise!
Thanks to Lin Fan’s warning, otherwise, if they had faced this green flame upon crossing, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"How did you know this?" Lin Fan curiously asked Xiang’Er!
"I once read a book about tomb structures in the Library Pavilion in the study. It talked about such things. The scene before us is very similar to what I saw described, so I stopped you. If I’m not mistaken, this is the famous Life and Death Bridge!" Xiang’Er explained.
"Life and Death Bridge?" Lin Fan’s face was filled with confusion!
"That’s correct! The Life and Death Bridge refers to the bridges here where only one is the safe bridge, known as the Life Bridge, leading to the other side. The others are Death Bridges; stepping on them results in being engulfed by flames, ultimately incinerated to death. We must check each bridge for safety before crossing!" Xiang’Er stated.
"I see!"
Lin Fan nodded slightly and picked up two stones, throwing them out together!
"Clatter, clatter, clatter!" "Clatter, clatter, clatter!"
Two stones fell on the bridge surfaces, rolling differently!
On one of the wooden bridges, the stone induced green flames again, engulfing and combusting it to ashes!
But the other one was safe!
"We’ll take this one!" Lin Fan shouted urgently!
Roar, roar, roar~
At this moment, deafening roars suddenly came from behind Lin Fan and the others!
Dozens of zombies let out muffled roars, their voices linked like thunder, making Lin Fan and the others’ ears buzz, as if swarmed by flies!
Lin’an said solemnly, "These zombies are so huge that if they all get on the bridge, the bridge surely won’t hold. You all rush ahead; there are many bridges here. Go inside and look for other safe ones while I hold these zombies off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Fan swung his Soft Sword and charged towards a zombie!
