Chapter 220 Fooled Again

Before, this old woman told us that twisting this statue would open the secret passage to the Crystal Palace, but after she twisted it, not only did it not open the passage, but the sealing stone fell, sealing the entire tomb!

Every single one of us was trapped in this tomb!

This situation was exactly the same as when that old fool tricked us before!

Seeing this, Old Wei was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.

Hu Wazi walked up to the old woman in a few steps, grabbed her hair, and cursed, "Damn you! You old hag, are you playing us?!"

The old woman gave a sinister smile, and suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve like a magic trick, and stabbed it fiercely at Hu Wazi's waist.

I saw it clearly and quickly shouted, "Hu Wazi, be careful!"

Hu Wazi was young and strong, and reacted quickly. After all, he had experience in the martial world. He slapped the old woman in the face, knocking her down.

"Go to hell! You still want to attack me?"

Hu Wazi didn't feel relieved after the slap, and kicked the old woman in the chest. With a crack, he probably broke several of her ribs on the spot.

Old Wei quickly stopped him, "Hu Wazi, wait! Leave her alive!"

Hu Wazi had already hit and cursed, and probably vented his anger, so he didn't continue to kill her.

The old woman fell to the ground, her mouth full of blood from the beating, groaning, but with a smile on her face.

My scalp was tingling. I couldn't understand why this old woman was so insidious. We had been polite to her all the way, and agreed to all her requests, but she still wanted to trick us and force us to our deaths.

Old Wei couldn't figure it out either. He frowned and asked, "Granny, why do you want to harm us? Did we offend you? You dropped the sealing stone, aren't you going to die with us?"

The old woman sneered, spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, and said through gritted teeth, "You're right, I want to die with you!"

"Why?!" Old Wei asked in confusion, "We have no grudges, what are you doing?"

"No grudges?" The old woman sneered, "Are you still pretending at this point? I already know, my old man is dead! He was killed by you! Killed by you!"

Hearing this, my head buzzed, and I finally understood why this old woman hated us so much.

It turned out she thought her old man died at our hands.

But that wasn't true, because the old man was actually killed by Liu Huangshu (reference to Liu Bei, founder of the state of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms period), who almost killed us too at the time.

Old Wei quickly explained, "Granny, you're mistaken! You're really mistaken, your old man wasn't killed by us. We're with the government, how could we kill ordinary people?"

The old woman sneered, "But you clearly met my old man. I know he led you a few days ago. Why do you say you haven't seen him? If you weren't guilty, why would you lie? You killed him! You're all murderers!"

Old Wei helplessly stomped his feet and said, "You're confused! You're confused! I didn't tell you about your old man because I was afraid you'd be too sad if you knew he was dead! That's why I kept it from you, I was doing it out of kindness! Your old man did lead us, to take us to the Crystal Palace, but we met a group of tomb robbers on the way, and he was killed by the tomb robbers in the end!"

After hearing this, the old woman spat out another mouthful of bloody saliva, and then sneered, "Heh heh, say what you want, it's too late to say anything now. The mechanism has fallen, and there's no way to open it again. We'll all have to die in this tomb!"

"What?!" Old Wei's face turned as ugly as if he'd eaten shit when he heard this.

Hu Wazi stomped his feet in a hurry and shouted, "I still have to save An'an! I can't die here! Let us out! Let us out!"

After speaking, he strode to the side of the stone statue, hugged it with both hands, and twisted it back to its original position.

But even so, the sealing stone at the door didn't move at all. It seemed that the old woman was right. Once the sealing stone fell, there was no way to open it again. We were indeed trapped inside.

Seeing this, Silver Ring Snake also regretted it, frowned and said, "I told you not to trust this old woman, what happened? You were fooled, right? Sigh, really!"

Old Wei said helplessly, "Sis, don't be sarcastic. When she opened the mechanism, didn't I ask for your opinion? You didn't have any other suggestions either, and you agreed to let her move the statue."

Silver Ring Snake was speechless and could only sigh repeatedly.

The old woman lay on the ground, sneering constantly, "Heh heh, you're all going to die! You're all going to pay for my old man's life! A life for a life, it's the law of heaven! A life for a life, it's the law of heaven!"

Hu Wazi couldn't bear it any longer and kicked her again, cursing, "Damn it! If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you right now!"

When the old woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Okay, come on, come on, just give me a quick death, it's much better than being thirsty and hungry to death in here. You'll only starve to death, oh, the scene is so satisfying to think about! So satisfying! So happy!"

The more Hu Wazi listened, the angrier he became, but there was nothing he could do. The old woman was right. Killing her now would be doing her a favor, giving her a quick death.

While Hu Wazi was entangled with the old woman, Xiao Liang and I had already started looking for a way out.

After all, this underground palace had been built for more than four thousand years. Such an old building couldn't be intact.

Before, when that old fool locked us in the underground palace, I crawled out through a place where water was seeping in from the ground, so I suspected that there must be some flaws in this underground palace.

But Xiao Liang and I went back and forth several times, looked all over the tomb, and even moved away some burial objects to look for a way out, but the result was very disappointing.

This tomb was built very solidly, without any flaws at all. It was a complete fantasy to escape from here.

Seeing Xiao Liang and me sweating, the dead old woman gloated and said, "Heh heh, don't bother, there's no way out of this tomb, I've blocked the way out!"

Hearing this, not to mention Hu Wazi, I had the heart to kill this old woman. I picked up a piece of bronze and smashed it at her head, cursing, "Shut up! You old hag!"
