Chapter 146: It Fell Down
Gu Fan, Lu Yi, Du Jun, and Xu Haowen were walking in a narrow passage, sometimes even crawling. It was exhausting and sometimes they couldn’t help but admire the ogres who had dug these tunnels, they must have swallowed a lot of dirt doing so.
As they continued to crawl, Lu Yi asked, "Did I just hear Jie’s voice?"
"We didn’t hear anything, you must have heard wrong." Du Jun said dismissively, the others nodding in agreement.
Gu Fan added, "We should be careful, if these tunnels were really dug by ogres, then we might be walking right into their lair."
"Please don’t be so frightening..." Before Xu Haowen finished speaking, he was overjoyed because after much effort, he had finally managed to charge his makeshift phone halfway. They now had a source of light again.
This was indeed good news. Gu Fan could finally put away his hand-cranked flashlight. Truth be told, although this flashlight could generate its own power, the light it produced was insufficient. Whether it would be useful when they encountered an ogre was unclear.
After crawling for a while, Lu Yi, exhausted, suggested they rest for a bit. They didn’t want to be so tired when they encountered an ogre that they couldn’t even put up a fight.
It was indeed a good idea. Gu Fan himself felt tired from crawling, so everyone rested. In the meantime, they realized they didn’t have any sense of direction and were just aimlessly crawling forward.
Lu Yi couldn’t help saying, "I really want to know where all these tunnels dug by the ogres lead."
Just then, that strange noise started again, instantly putting them all on alert. It was not only coming from the front but also the back. They were being trapped.
The makeshift phone was pointed forward for illumination, while Gu Fan shined his flashlight backward. Sure enough, ogres were rushing towards them, and there was more than one of them. They appeared to be human, but they were charging forth, despite the glare of the light.
