In an instant, the atmosphere inside the tomb became terrifying; the silence was like maggots on bones, chilling to the core, and a tense standoff had formed unseen.
After the initial shock, Lu Guichi's face darkened.
Possibly influenced by him, the snake person sensed something sharply, hissing with bared fangs towards the entrance, full of danger.
But that danger came to an abrupt end when Lin Wu fiercely stepped on its tail.
The snake person shivered, turned to look at Lin Wu, understanding her intent, and hung its head in dejection as it coiled itself around the stone platform, hugging its own tail.
Now, the only ones left confronting each other were Lu Guichi and the two people at the door.
Lu Guichi glared at Kate, with undisguised murderous intent in his eyes, and said coldly, "You should have been smarter, and stayed far away when you heard my voice here. But since you've come to me on your own, don't blame me..."
"Wait."
