Today, all students and miners were gathered in the mining area's center, preparing to depart. They formed the same arrangement as before and began their journey while miners pushed their carriage containing a mortal stone. Most of the children were comfortable this time, and there was confidence in their eyes, indicating that they had made significant progress on this trip.
Wang Lei was pushing his carriage as well as following the other. He was startled to hear a voice
"Hey kid, can you hear me?"
He turned to see who was calling to him. He could only see the miner surrounding him and Li wei, who was staring at him with an evil grin. Wang Lei had become accustomed to Li wei. He cannot do anything because of his position and strength, so he has decided to seek assistance from Liu yang in order to protect his sister, even if it means committing suicide in order to persuade her to agree and make her feel sorrow for him. Liu yang was a kind person in his opinion, and she even handed him a valuable medicine that could save her life.
"Can you hear me, kid?" Wang Lei heard these statements once again.
He was enraged and wanted to yell, 'Who the f**king bastard is calling!'
Wang Lei turned around again and saw no one, so he pushed his carriage and followed the other. They traveled for three days on the same route but did not arrive at the entrance. Even Liu yang, who was generally calm, took one of the maps and started studying it.
'How is this possible, we've been traveling the same path for three days? Something is wrong,' Liu yang thought.
Liu yang commanded the others to take a break. She then began to explore various paths, but she always ended herself in the same area where the other was resting. 'We must have fallen into some trap,' she said, her face drenched in sweat.
Even Liu yang was puzzled about how their direction had altered, and she was now in a state of panic.
Suddenly, the entire area began to tremble, and the surrounding rock began to roll here and there; all miners scared because their bodies were not strong enough to withstand the large rock. Students were also injured due to their powerful physique. Only Liu yang and the other ten body classes escaped unscathed.
Wang Lei had only one thought: 'Today is his last day.'
His only concern was for his sister. If he dies today, who will look after his sister and mother, who is in the hospital? As a result, he was determined to live. He was doing everything he could to avoid the large boulder that was rolling towards him.
Crackle Crackle!
The sound came from their feet, and the entire terrain on which they stood crumbled like broken glass. Everyone fell into the pit and eventually vanished with the exception of one vision.
Wang Lei slowly opened his eyes to saw that he had landed on a pile of soil and his entire body was buried in soil. He believed his luck had been too good this time if he had fallen onto stony or hard surfaces. He'd be a piece of dead meat. He got on his feet by clearing sand from his body. As he turned around, he doesn't see anyone. He could only see three paths around him.
'Which way among three should I take?' He was afraid that if he took the wrong path, he might die or get into a lot of trouble.
Wang Lei was so furious that he shouted, "Who the mother***re set up this kind of trap, I've almost perished!"
"Hey kid, can you hear me?" these words ring in his ear once more. Wang Lei looked around but spots no one.
"Does this ghost want to talk to me?" Wang Lei's anger evaporates in a split second, and anxiety can be seen on his face.
"What is your name?" Wang Lei spoke in hushed tones, his face filled with nervousness.
"HAHA, Kid, you can listen to me, finally, after five hundred years, someone can hear my voice."
Wang Lei felt certain that this individual was indeed a ghost while listening to his word. Because of this voice, he was in a state of fear.
"Hey, kids, don't freak out. I'm not going to hurt you; I just want to talk to you."
"Sir Ghost, I don't even know how to get out of here, how can I spend my time chatting with you," Wang Lei said gently.
"You don't need to be concerned about this; simply follow my instructions; I won't be able to communicate my voice for much longer. Let's chat later; just follow my instructions for now."
Wang Lei was pondering whether or not to accept the old ghost's directions. He didn't have any other options, so he decided to follow this ghost's directions.
"Enter the first route and continue straight until you reach a cliff. Then leap off that cliff "said the old ghost.
Wang Lei had a feeling that this ghost intended to kill him rather than save him. He believed that if he jumped off the cliff, he would almost certainly die and would not be as lucky as previously, so he chose to take the first path, but not to jump off the cliff.
'Which moron will jump off the cliff and toss their life away?'
Wang Lei decided that if an old ghost wanted him to leap from a cliff, the first path should be safer than the second. Then he started down the first path. He felt his legs quivering from tiredness after traveling for 10 hours and decided to stop for a moment.
He had the feeling that the entire place is a unresolved underground maze. He immediately fell into a deep sleep after closing his eyes. While sleeping, he had visions of his mother begging him to protect his sister, and he also saw his sister making breakfast with a bright grin, before a man in a black cloth slashed his sister's back with a sharp knife. He heard his sister shouting for him, but he can't move a muscle if he doesn't exist.
Wang Lei's eyes widen and he cries, "Little fang!"
His body was drenched in sweat. He took a big breath and said, "I have to survive, my sister needs me!"
Wang Lei rose to his feet and started out on his journey. He came upon a cliff after walking for six hours. He dashed to the edge, but all he saw was a dark veil on the cliff. He slide a large boulder half his size and concentrated on the sound of the rock. He didn't hear any sound after thirty minutes, so he decided not to leap off a cliff.
He took a step back from the edge of the cliff. Someone's voice and footsteps could be heard on his left side path. He had no idea whether it was a person or another creature, so he takes two palm-sized rocks in each hand. He saw a human emerge from the cave, which made him quite happy, however after seeing that human face. Wang Lei face darkens.
