Chapter 2386: Chapter 2386: Locked Up Inside
Long Yi took a kick, grimacing in pain, not daring to make a sound.
"Prince, I was wrong."
In his heart, he felt bitter. This is Stone Mountain; it’s not his fault if they can’t dig through.
Unable to dig through, Long Rui ordered the guards to encircle the entire mountain. Over a thousand guards tapped on the mountain’s peak here and there, trying to find a mechanism to rescue the Princess Consort, but no matter where they searched, there was no reaction at all.
Frustrated, Long Rui used his power and struck the mountain peak with one palm...
"Boom...!"
A corner of the mountain peak collapsed with a loud crash, and a cloud of dust rose into the sky, while debris continuously fell to the ground.
From afar, it seemed as if half the mountain peak was enveloped in a dreamy, mist-like haze, quite mesmerizing.
The nearby guards were suffering terribly, the dust blinding their eyes, and after taking a couple of breaths, they instinctively covered their mouths and noses. After a while, they slowly opened their eyes.
"Prince, this is great, we’ve found it, we’ve found it."
Suddenly, Long Yi exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Long Rui, who usually had a cleanliness obsession, ignored the swirling dust in his urgency and leaped forward.
At the collapsed area, a bottomless chasm appeared.
Without hesitation, Long Rui’s figure flashed, and he jumped in.
"Prince!" Long Yi couldn’t help but shout, lying at the edge of the hole, calling down.
But the dark hole, like the mouth of a tiger, instantly swallowed Long Rui’s figure. No traces were left, except for the echoes.
Long Yi was extremely anxious, so after ordering the other guards to stay put, he took a dozen skilled subordinates and also jumped into the hole in search of the Prince.
.........
Xuexue, caught off guard, was pulled into the hole by the fat man, feeling her body lose its balance and continuously fall...
"Bang...
Her body seemed to hit something, finally coming to a stop.
Xuexue was grimacing in pain when she heard a sinister voice below her say, "What reckless thing dares to land on my head?"
Looking down, Xuexue saw a pair of glowing green eyes close by, scaring her into rolling away with a scream.
Thud, her entire body landed on the cold ground, and this time it really hurt!
"Ouch...!"
Xuexue was in so much pain she wanted to curse, feeling like all the bones in her body had been disassembled, indescribable agony.
"Tut tut... turns out to be a pretty little lady. Heaven’s truly not mean to me, seeing me trapped here for decades, actually sends a little lady to keep me company, worth it."
"Knock knock knock...!"
Then, there was a knocking sound, coming closer to where Xuexue was.
Xuexue looked up and saw a coffin standing upright in front of her, startling her.
"You...you...who are you?"
"A handsome man!"
Is this for real? A coffin claims to be a handsome man. Even though Xuexue was in pain, it amused her. Since her rebirth, she had seen many bizarre things, but a talking coffin was a first.
Fortunately, she’d seen Xiao Taohong and Little Tiger before, so seeing a talking coffin wasn’t too surprising now.
Xuexue smiled bitterly inside; a large bright red coffin seemed creepy when you looked at it. How could it be handsome?
"Knock knock...!"
The coffin slowly turned around, and only then did Xuexue see that inside the coffin lay a man. This man had a full beard, wore tattered clothes, and his hands and feet were shackled with chains, glaring at her with sinister eyes.
Xuexue breathed a sigh of relief, realizing it wasn’t the coffin talking, but a person locked inside.
