Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Chapter 544  A dark Omen

Slash! Slash! Slash! Bam! Bam! Hiss!~

Hitchcoff felt his poor heart couldn\'t take it anymore. All sorts of sounds bellowed out from around, only heightening his senses and breathing even more.

And finally, after what seems like an eternity, he watched Old Gia reach a peculiar stone wall with carvings on them. Old Gia took out a wrapped paper of sandy powder and blew it at the doors while chanting: Shwshwshwshwsh~

Hitchcoff looked back again and was taken aback after seeing the giant unnatural snakes now tied up, twisted and knotted together. \'it seems all the twisting and turning has tied them up like knotted ropes.\' It will be hard for them to disassemble themselves, especially when thinking of the fierce speed they used when tying themselves up. The knots weren\'t loose knots but very tight ones. For now, that buys them time. Looking left and right, other disciples appeared carrying those they rescued. Remember that Dorian\'s people were 3 times more in number than those gathered and allowed to follow them in. So of course there were enough people to rescue them. Bamm! The magical grains of dust had done their part, looking for the entrance and opening up the mechanism. What?! Hitchcoff stared at the incredulous scene ahead, feeling that nothing can ever surprise him again. "Is that… Is that a forest?" (!0!)

No… scratch that thought it wasn\'t a forest, but an oasis.

An oasis buried deep underground in a tomb! .

Incredible!

If someone had told Hitchcoff that you could find an oasis in a tomb he would definitely think they needed their heads checked for any brain dead symptoms. Yet, here he was, looking at the vast oasis that made him feel like an ant. Here, the walls were purple, the plants were various shades of darker purples and there were also some with orange and yellow highlights. "Look! A lake!" Someone called out, causing Hitchcoff to put his attention on the very small stagnant lake at the center. It was a 5-minute walk from them. And even from this far, they could still see the glorious lake that called onto them. Thirsty!~ n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing this, many felt even more thirsty, but dared not drink. Why? Because although the faraway sight looked beautiful, when they came closer, they realized that everything in the space was rotting. It was as though the purple was telling them one thing – Death. "We will reunite with the others ahead. Keep up." Old Gia\'s words caused their legs to move faster than their thoughts. Yes, now everyone was on their feet, no longer getting carried on the backs of these disciples. After seeing the magical operations of Old Gia and the others, and barely surviving unscathed from the previous ordeal, everyone now followed their words without question. They didn\'t even want to know how old Gia knew they would reunite with the others soon, nor did they want to know how he knew the way. If he said move left, they would go left. And if he said Jump, the question they\'ll be asking is how high they should jump. (*^*)

. \'Something is here with us.\' Old Gia\'s thoughts spun, but his face remained expressionless. Ever since they entered the tomb, something has been watching them. The feeling has been growing stronger the more they advance. Something was watching them, big when he opened his third eye and enhanced all his current search abilities, he still couldn\'t find it. Reaching the far end of the Oasis, everyone saw a tunnel-like stairway heading upwards. At most, 6 people could move up and down each step at the same time. "Go ahead." Old Gia chose to guard the back, ensuring nothing snatched anyone from behind. Like that, they matched forth, and soon reunited with Dorian\'s right far, far, above.

Both sides had just arrived in the open cave-like Hall room at the same thing, seeing the evident shock and surprise on their faces. Some turned ghostly, recalling what they did, pushing others down, and some were truly ecstatic, hugging each other to others.

Alive… Alive… A single tear trickled down Obediah\'s checks when seeing Hitchcoff. Obediah\'s chest was swelled with emotions he hadn\'t felt in a long time. Each step forward made his heart throb, and his body weakened when reaching his forever loyal 2nd in command. How many years have they worked together? Although he was Hitchcoff\'s superior, he took Hitchcoff as his own blood brother.

Both men now stood face to face. "Sir," Hitchcoff gave a formal military salute, his lips thinking and trembling and his eyes a little moist. "Reporting for duty, sir!!"

"You…" Obediah softly placed his burly hands on Hitchcoff\'s shoulder, tapping it warmly. "It\'s great to have you back, Hitchcoff." "Good to be back, sir." (:^_^:)

Hitchcoff smiled, with tears falling underneath his glasses and down his cheeks. Indeed, it was great to see the General. Harvey, Ashaku and Miguel also congratulated him for making it back alive. After all they\'ve seen, they believed more and more in the tale Harvey and Ashaku narrated.

Monsters~

Who knew they existed among humans?

Everyone thought they had seen the scariest, feeling nothing could ever make them feel disgusted like the bat creatures they saw.

But only Harvey and Ashaku knew that the rotting bats were nowhere near the terrifying looks of the monster they saw back then.

With tactful stares, they swallowed hard and closely followed behind Dorian. After all, don\'t forget that they were the real targets the creature was aiming for. .

Time flowed like a fishing river, moving so fast, everyone felt they had reached the end too soon. [Anungulia Enticulum, Incentives Indium exchlorom.]

The words carved on the giant doors were obvious for all to see. "Well, what does it mean?" Some asked impatiently. Miguel, Ashaku, and several other archeologists stared at the door, taking several steps back. "Death is just the Beginning, not the end… This curse, I lay on those who enter."
