Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 2801: Leftover jade ring

Xu Ning's disappearance instantly made the team atmosphere tense.

In the dark tomb, everyone looked nervous and anxiously looking for Xu Ning's figure.

They had been searching in this small space for an unknown amount of time and still hadn't seen him.

The air in the tomb was filled with a suffocating depression.

Everyone frowned, and every step seemed to be stepping on dust.

The sound of footsteps echoed in the tomb, unusually clear.

"Xu Ning! Stop hiding! Come out quickly!" Wang Jinpeng's voice was the first to break the silence.

This is the way he does things, calling Xu Ning's name loudly.

But after shouting several times, no one responded at all.

Only Wang Jinpeng's shouts echoed.

"We can't waste time here." Huang Hao stopped him.

Wang Jinpeng shouted, "No, Xu Ning is my friend, I must find him!"

"I didn't say I wouldn't look for him, but you are yelling and screaming like this. What if he is actually safe and is harmed by you?" Huang Hao said.

Yelling loudly in the tomb is not only easy to trigger the mechanism, but may also become the target of the hidden killer.

It wasn't until Lin Ran came forward to comfort that Wang Jinpeng calmed down.

"Don't get excited, of course we will find it until we find it." Lin Ran said, "However, from now on, all of us cannot be separated and must act together."

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

Xu Ning's disappearance cast a shadow over the team.

Although there was no death yet, their hearts were filled with uneasiness.

A Ming blamed himself: "I should have told you about this when I went to the toilet just now, alas."

"Now is not the time to divide responsibilities." Lin Ran said, "I think he may not be in the tomb anymore."

"It's just unclear whether he is moving forward or backward."

Lin Ran sighed.

Both paths have uncertain futures and are huge gambles.

"He has left the tomb." Huang Hao whispered, "It's so strange. Xu Ning is not an impulsive person. Could he have been tempted by a beautiful woman?"

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Then there is something that can deceive Xu Ning. It's not like you don't know his determination."

"Is it possible that there is a ghost that transformed into us and told him to go somewhere?" Such a terrifying thought suddenly appeared in Lin Ran's mind.

It was as if they had encountered something similar before, but just couldn't remember it.

"What is he looking for? He is just a thug." Wang Jinpeng said this, but the look on his face was full of worry.

While everyone was confused, Huang Hao found a piece of chewed gum on the ground.

Xu Ning has been eating chewing gum recently. It seems that his girlfriend thinks his mouth smells bad and is working on improving it.

Lin Ran came to the chewing gum and found that there was still a little warmth underneath.

"He went back?" Lin Ran looked at the way he came in surprise. The exit was much closer to where the chewing gum was dropped.

"Let's go back to find him!" Lin Ran made up his mind. Although they wanted to find Xu Ning, they didn't have much time left. One more minute in the ancient tomb would increase the risk.

They had been separated from Xu Ning for more than ten minutes. If they delayed it any longer, they might never see him again.

Everyone no longer shirks, picks up their equipment and heads back.

After passing the entrance to the originally burning corridor, the place was still in a mess, and footprints could still be seen on the ground. It was obvious that someone had just passed by here!

It's Xu Ning!

Their general direction is correct! Then he continued searching along the way he came.

When they reached the original cliff, they saw Xu Ning standing beside the cliff blankly.

When Wang Jinpeng saw this, he couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Xu Ning.

Xu Ning's face was filled with confusion, as if he had lost his soul.

Wang Jinpeng raised his right hand and slapped Xu Ning's face to the other side.

"You wake up!"

Xu Ning showed an expression as if she had just woken up from a dream.

He looked at Wang Jinpeng inexplicably: "Why did you hit me?"

"What are you doing here!" Wang Jinpeng got angry and grabbed his collar and shook him back and forth: "You turned back without telling us! Do you know that we will be worried?"

Only then did Wang Jinpeng discover something strange.

In the eyes of those who had not inhaled the incense, this place should be a staircase.

But now they can clearly see the underground river below!

I don’t know when they were contaminated by the incense of Ecstasy again!

Wang Jinpeng swallowed. If he fell from this position, he would really have a narrow escape!

Xu Ning looked confused.

A Ming looked at the team and asked, "When did you go back? I looked everywhere for you and couldn't find you."

"Me?" A Ming pointed to himself with a surprised expression, "Didn't I tell you that I was going to the toilet, why did you leave so suddenly?"

"Didn't you tell me to come back and find the passage?" Xu Ning's eyes widened.

Lin Ran probably already knew the whole story, and it was pretty much what he guessed.

"Okay, we'll explain this later. Let's go back to the hall first." Lin Ran felt that it was particularly eerie to lead here.

Although Xu Ning was puzzled, he still followed Lin Ran's instructions and started walking back.

On the way, Xu Ning told everyone what he saw.

A Ming was the most innocent. He kept explaining: "I'm just an air quality tester, and I don't understand ancient tomb exploration. How could I ask you to go back?"

"Hey, blame me for being careless." Xu Ning looked at the ceiling.

He didn't know why, but he agreed to A Ming's request at the last moment and didn't tell anyone else.

If he had told Lin Ran about this while walking back, they might have been on their way to the next tomb by now.

Xu Ning felt a little sorry for wasting so much time.

Lin Ran comforted him: "It's okay, you can help us avoid the thunder."

"From now on, no matter what you do, you must report to us."

"There may be strange things in the ancient tombs, which will affect our judgment."

This time, they responded promptly.

Xu Ning did not jump directly from the cliff. I don't know what happened because of the delay.

If they were a step too late, the consequences would be disastrous.

Because the underground river was very turbulent, if Xu Ning died in it, they wouldn't even be able to find the body.

Time is running out. They must find Xu Ning as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Back in the tomb, everyone no longer dared to separate, they were all surrounding Lin Ran.

Lin Ran said: "Actually, we didn't discover it at all just now."

I saw him take out a palm-sized jade ring from his pocket, with a red rope attached.
