Rebirth: Living in Wilderness with My Superpower
Chapter 455: Caught

Chapter 455: Chapter 455: Caught

It wasn’t long before they re-emerged on the slide, and this time there was no resistance in front of them—they slid smoothly to the bottom.

Li Wenli had just landed when he sensed someone ahead; he had almost drawn his dagger.

Just then, the person in front suddenly asked with surprise, "My lord, is it you?"

It was Ah Dao.

Fortunately, Li Wenli was agile, and he quickly withdrew his dagger upon recognizing it was Ah Dao; otherwise, a tragedy would have occurred.

The others, unaware of the recent peril, looked excited and incredulous.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed it.

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun clearly led the way earlier, yet now they were the last to come down.

What was going on?

Feeling somewhat guilty, Li Wenli explained, "We just slid onto another path."

Li Wenli said this without a change in his expression or heartbeat.

After all, it should be quite normal to have forks in the road in places like this, right?

They had no choice but to believe him, as nobody could explain this bizarre occurrence.

"What’s the situation ahead?" Li Wenli changed the subject.

Ah Dao glanced into the pitch-dark space ahead and shook his head, "We couldn’t see you when we came down and didn’t dare to move rashly; we haven’t explored ahead yet. But so far, we haven’t heard any noise from the front."

Li Wenli nodded, then once again took the lead with the team resuming their previous order.

Li Wenli tried to use his Special Ability within his body, but apart from Space, he still couldn’t feel any other abilities.

This indicated that Black Six was not far ahead, and Li Wenli’s pace involuntarily quickened.

As he walked on, he suddenly stepped into water, unexpectedly finding an Underground River.

Theoretically, there shouldn’t be a river inside a mountain unless they had already reached the mountain’s base.

Considering the length of the slide, it wasn’t impossible that they had traveled from inside the mountain to its base.

There must be a way out from the base of the mountain; it had nothing to do with gold and Jewels, which made Bai Junjun slightly disappointed.

Who would have thought that in such a vast Tomb of Zhongshan Mountain’s Overlord, apart from expired elixirs, there would be nothing else—such poor taste!

She walked silently through the water for a while until she finally saw what seemed like a Sacrificial Altar with many pillars, which looked eerie and terrifying.

At that moment, a boat was rowing away from the Sacrificial Altar.

Li Wenli glanced over, and the figure was unmistakably Black Six.

He didn’t expect the Tomb Explorer to be so cunning, allowing himself to escape here; it seemed that if he rowed out from here, he would reach the outside.

Li Wenli and Bai Junjun plunged into the water with a dive, furiously swimming towards the boat.

For those who survived The Apocalypse, swimming was commonplace.

Thus, they were like two sharks, furiously charging towards the shaky boat, with terrifying speed.

At that time, Black Six was rowing, and to avoid alarming his pursuers, he dared not light a fire.

After groping his way to a boat and preparing to make a run for it, he suddenly heard the sound of a creature swimming behind him.

The sound of the splashing water nearly scared him to death.

It was said that two Boas, serving as the Divine Beasts guarding the tomb, had always been hidden deep inside the mountain at the Tomb of Zhongshan Mountain’s Overlord.

He hadn’t encountered them up until now and presumed they were in the water. He had been extremely cautious all along, fearful of disturbing them.

But now, with the sound of water behind him, his heart sank.

It had to be the Boas coming.

Black Six could only clench his teeth and desperately row out, yet the sound of water from behind drew ever closer.

In the end, his boat seemed to be grabbed by something; Black Six looked back in horror, and in the dim light reflected off the water, he dimly saw two dark figures grabbing the stern of the boat, one on the left and one on the right.
