C240 Evening Assault(part I)

Jiang Chen also felt that his feet were being pulled by something. He struggled to break free and looked around. What he saw shocked him.

In the blink of an eye, all of the surrounding dried up bones came to life. They were either crawling towards him or struggling with all their might towards a part of his body.

The fog that was originally very faint had unknowingly turned blood-red. The air was reeking of an unpleasant stench of blood. When it was inhaled into the lungs, it immediately made it difficult to breathe.

"Don't stay, let's go."

The middle-aged man let out a roar as he looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen immediately understood what he meant. He tried his best to wave the branch away from the surrounding bones. At the same time, he looked around and realized that he could no longer see the other side of the pit.

The red mist was too thick, causing his line of sight to be obstructed.

Jiang Chen's heart sank. It seemed that this Bone Crater was a huge trap to swallow people. No wonder so many people died here. It was likely that many of them were people who had entered the pit and were unable to escape.

Although he couldn't see the other side of the pit clearly, Jiang Chen could still feel the direction.

He turned around and took out the machete at Wang Han's waist. With one hand holding the machete and the other holding the branch, he struggled to open the way.

Jiang Chen was unperturbed by the surrounding bones that were rushing towards him like a mountain. He continued to wave his machete and branches with all his might.

The branches were quickly snatched away by the bones. Jiang Chen did not care about it at all. He gathered all his strength and swung his machete in front of his chest like a fierce tiger.

Step by step, he opened up a path in front of him and forcibly cut a path through.

When they arrived at the other side of the pit and crawled out, Jiang Chen's clothes were already soaked.

He breathed heavily as he sat on the wet leaves. It was as if he had lost all of his strength.

Other people in the team also climbed up one by one, Wang Han followed closely behind Jiang Chen and didn't encounter much danger, Fu Shidong also relied on his skills to safely escape the danger, only the two people in the back were dragged into the ground by the skeleton without being able to save them.

However, this was already a very fortunate result. In the situation just now, if Jiang Chen failed to open up the exit and find the right direction, all of these people would have died below and eventually become the same as those dried up bones.

The middle-aged man also sat there breathing heavily. At the same time, he glanced at Jiang Chen. While he was secretly alert, he was also glad.

If it wasn't for Jiang Chen's clever improvisation just now, he would probably have to use some of his trump cards.

But those things were all for the final preparation. If they were used here, the confidence they would have in the end would be greatly reduced.

Fortunately! With Jiang Chen around, if this person's skills were so great that his goal was the same as his, then facing him in the end would be very troublesome!

When he looked at Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen also inadvertently glanced at him. In fact, each of them had their own thoughts and considerations.

During the break, Fu Shidong went to Jiang Chen's side and whispered a few words to him from an invisible angle.

Jiang Chen did not answer, Fu Shidong only told him some of his judgment.

This middle-aged man was a martial artist who was probably proficient in magical techniques. When he was in the Bone Pit, he was already prepared to attack. In the end, because Jiang Chen opened up a path, he didn't attack.

But this guess was enough to make Jiang Chen and Fu Shidong wary of him. His identity meant that he posed a great threat to the two of them, much more than the threats posed by the gunmen.

No one said anything. Everyone was resting, eating, and replenishing their strength.

The middle-aged man didn't even come over to talk to Jiang Chen. Everyone was well aware that Jiang Chen and the other two were still useful to him and he was afraid that he would have to use his trump card in order to get rid of them.

For Jiang Chen, it was still good to follow these people for the time being. At least, before they reached the finish line, they could rely on each other. If they met with danger at a critical moment, the middle-aged man would also take action to protect the team.

However, this peace was only temporary. Everyone knew each other. Sooner or later, there would be conflict, and sooner or later, there would be a fight between them.

He turned his head to look at the corpse pit in front of him. Everything had been restored. The thick red mist had returned to a faint mist, and the dried bones in the pit seemed to have never revived. They were all sleeping inside.2

As night fell, it did not seem like the best plan to continue advancing forward.

Everyone set up camp near the Skeleton Cavern. The middle-aged man used a military shovel to open up an open space. He also dug out a pit to light a bonfire.

Everyone leaned against the bonfire and sat down. In this dark and humid forest, only the flames could bring warmth to the people, causing them to feel slightly more at ease.

Apart from that, everything around him could be dangerous.

The middle-aged man called out to his men to dig a circle around the camp. It was about the size of a palm. He collected some pungent smell powder and directed them to light up the fire.

A layer of faint yellow smoke floated in the air. At first it was pungent, but soon it got used to it.

"Tonight, my men will be keeping watch. You can all sleep peacefully. If anything happens, we will call for you."

After finishing the work on the tunnel, the middle-aged man walked towards Jiang Chen.

"Hm!" "Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded, how could he sleep soundly here!

Right now, everyone was just being amiable on the surface, who knew if the middle-aged man would suddenly think of something bad and kill the three of them in his sleep.

Jiang Chen glanced at Fu Shidong and nodded to himself, implying that I will keep watch tonight while you all sleep in peace.

Fu Shidong didn't say anything, he roasted the bag beside the bonfire for a while, then used the backpack as a pillow and fell asleep.

"Bro, I'm sorry for putting you in danger."

Jiang Chen approached Wang Han, who was eating a big cake and talking quietly.

"It's fine. I believe that you can bring me away safely."

Wang Han shook his head and replied in a low voice.

He already had no other choice. When the three of them came in together, there was still room for discussion. However, in this situation, he could only follow Jiang Chen and place all his trust in him.

By midnight, everyone was already asleep. Jiang Chen also lied on the ground pretending to be asleep as he secretly operated his martial arts to quietly cultivate.

While maintaining his cultivation state, Liu Ming was able to keep a close eye on the changes in the outside world. At the same time, his mind was completely immersed in cultivation, so it could be considered a good method of rest.

As for the middle-aged man, he was also sitting cross-legged on a piece of dry ground that had been cleared out.

Since Fu Shidong had found out, there was nothing for him to hide.
