Chapter Eighty-Seven: Trapped in the Ancient Tomb

  As they waited, the dark shadow drew closer and closer, its fluffy body gradually appearing before Li Ling and Mandrake.

  The black shadow's hair was very long, scattered and disheveled on his shoulders, with a hint of fear in his eyes, step by step moving towards Li Ling and Mandrake, but not daring to get too close.

  The fluffy exterior of the black shadow was actually made from the fur or skin of some wild beasts, and it looked just like its own hair.

  At first, when Li Ling saw the black shadow approaching, he thought he had seen an ancient wild man, but after careful observation, the black shadow got closer and closer, and Li Ling realized that it was actually a person, only to wonder why this person would live in this dark 'ancient tomb'.

  Li Ling wanted to get close to the past, but that wild man, seeing Li Ling making a move, tensely and hastily retreated, leaning against the wall, looking at Li Ling with a pair of extremely terrified eyes.

  Li Ling stretched out his hands, with a smile on his face, slowly and gently said: "We have no malice, we will not harm you, we are also human beings, just like you, we are your companions, please do not be nervous, okay?"

  Li Ling's words were very gentle and didn't have a hint of hostility.

  The black shadow hesitated for a moment, then said in a very awkward tone, with great excitement: "You... you... are you really... human?"

  That voice is extremely stuttering, and there's a possibility of mispronunciation, but this person obviously speaks Chinese, and it's standard Chinese.

  It may be that being trapped here for too long, without contact with humans for a long time, the language function of his tongue root began to degenerate, causing him to lose his language ability soon.

  "Alright, you can trust us completely. We are human beings and we can help you." Li Ling had already roughly determined that this person had been trapped here for a very long time, as for how long, only the dark shadow knew.

  Li Ling's affirmative words and nodding made the black shadow burst into loud wailing, with a mournful cry that was heart-wrenching to hear.

  Heiying's face was covered in tears as he slowly approached the three of Li Ling, quietly hearing the sound of crying, and suddenly became suspicious, saying: "Who is crying?"

  "He is just like one of us." Li Ling said with a smile.

  "A person." Quiet and contemplative.

  That dark shadow approached Li Ling, possibly because of his poor eyesight, he used his dirty and unknown how many years unwashed hand to touch Li Ling's forehead, nose, eyes, and chin, only then did he confirm that Li Ling was indeed a human being.

  "You...you...are really...human." The dark figure hugged Li Ling and burst into loud sobs.

  The smell on Hei Ying's body was extremely unpleasant, but Li Ling didn't push him away because he felt sorry for him.

  Anyone who stays here for even a day will be driven mad and die, but this dark shadow has been staying here for an unknown period of time. Li Ling can confirm that the skeletons of snakes and sheep were all left behind by this dark shadow.

  "Heiying cried and looked at Li Ling closely: "It's...it's too much. I...I want to leave, you guys...take me away from here. Leave this ancient tomb, leave this ancient city!"

  The dark shadow's words began to flow smoothly.

  "Good... but first, we need to figure out who you are?" Li Ling asked.

  The black shadow bowed its head and stopped speaking, only shaking its head repeatedly, saying: "I... forgot who I am? I don't remember who I am?" The tone was slow, but it had recovered a bit to be barely audible.

  "Do you have family?" An Jing asked eagerly.

  "I... I don't know." The dark figure seemed to be trying his best to remember, but he kept shaking his head, unable to recall anything.

  "It's probably because of the magnetic field here that caused his memory loss." Xiao Yuan had said before, this place is the center of the magnetic field, the magnetic field is a hundred times stronger than the outside world, and it not only affects brain waves but also human consciousness.

  "What should we do now?" asked Mandrake.

  Li Ling looked at the black shadow lying in his arms, as calm as a baby, and said: "Why don't we withdraw first, restore his memory, and then let him take us in to find some clues. With just the few of us, it's impossible to figure out this huge underground ancient tomb."

  "Everything is under military control." Mandala said.

  "Are you okay?" Li Ling asked Anjing. But Anjing remained dazed.

  "I, I'm listening." An quietly subconscious way.

  "Let's go out first." Li Ling and the three others, accompanied by a dark shadow, walked back together, but when they did, they found that everything was different.

  Here... it's like an underground labyrinth, and Li Ling and the others are like they're forever wandering around this area, but no matter what, they can't get out.

  "It's magnetic field interference." Li Ling sighed and said, "I should have thought of it earlier. The magnetic field interfered with our brain waves, making us unable to properly use our neural connections, just circling around the magnetic field, never able to get out."

  "No wonder this person has been stuck here all along, unable to leave?" Li Ling looked at every location here, and even with his spiritual power, he couldn't find the original exit.

  "I'm hungry..." The black shadow suddenly said this sentence!

  Li Ling sighed and said: "I know you're hungry, but we are trapped here now, can't go out, and didn't bring any food in."

  "I'll take you guys to find something to eat." The black shadow's intelligence at this moment was like that of a five-year-old child, innocent and naive.

  The black shadow rose from Li Ling's arms and led the way in front, occasionally turning back to glance at Li Ling and his two companions.

  Li Ling grasped An Jing's hand tightly and said: "Let's follow them and take a look."

  Three people followed the black shadow, circling around this ancient tomb for about an hour, before finally arriving at a very special place. This place surprisingly had light, although like other places, it was all underground tunnels, similar to a cave, but here, there were grid-like ventilation openings that could directly connect to the outside world.

  But outside the air vent was a vast desert with massive sandstorms!

  Looking at the long-lost sunshine, Li Ling covered her eyes and slowly adapted to this sunlight.

  After adapting, looking at this air outlet, Li Ling was slightly stunned, and not only was Li Ling stunned, but even Mandala was also stunned. Because no matter how you look at this air outlet, it looks like a huge thruster. Moreover, the thrust port of this thruster has a diameter of ten meters, which can be seen as a huge thruster.

  This is simply unbelievable.

  But just as Li Ling and Mandala were bewildered by the advancing mouth in front of them, a shout of surprise and joy came from behind: "Father, is that you? Father..."
