Huo Jilin patted Wang Kaixuan on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid. As long as we work together, there will always be a way."
Just then, a noisy sound came from outside the cave.
"They must be nearby. Search carefully!" A fierce voice came.
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other, their hearts full of tension.
"What should I do? They are coming in." Wang Kaixuan's voice trembled.
Huo Jilin lowered his voice and said, "Don't make a sound. Let's see what happens first."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Huo Jilin clenched his fists, ready to respond to emergencies at any time!
The two held their breath nervously, and their hearts seemed to jump out of their throats.
Just then, the footsteps suddenly faded away, as if those people had temporarily left the cave.
Wang Kaixuan let out a long sigh and slumped on the ground, "I was so scared, I thought we were going to be discovered."
Huo Jilin's face was still solemn, "Don't relax too early, they will definitely come back."
Wang Kaixuan looked worried, "Jilin, what should we do? Are we going to hide in this dark place forever?"
Huo Jilin's eyes were firm, "Of course not, we have to find a way to get rid of them, find the ancient tomb, and return the night-shining pearl."
Wang Kaixuan had a bitter face, "But I really don't remember the location of the ancient tomb. At that time, I was only busy taking the night-shining pearl in the tomb. Zhu, didn't pay attention to the route. "
Huo Jilin frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Think carefully, are there any special signs or terrain around before entering the tomb?"
Wang Kaixuan tried to recall, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "I remembered that there was a huge old locust tree near the tomb, with a very strange shape."
Huo Jilin nodded, "This is an important clue. When it's safe outside, let's go out and look for it."
After a while, Huo Jilin walked to the entrance of the cave carefully to observe. After confirming that those people had left, the two walked out of the cave.
"We have to hurry up, if those people catch up again, it will be troublesome." Huo Jilin said.
Wang Kaixuan responded, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Along the way, the two did not dare to slack off, and quickly moved in the direction of their memory.
"Jilin, I've been feeling nervous. What if I can't find the old locust tree?" Wang Kaixuan said worriedly.
Huo Jilin comforted him, "Don't think too much, do your best and leave it to fate."
Just then, Wang Kaixuan accidentally stepped on a stone and fell to the ground.
"Ouch!" Wang Kaixuan cried out in pain.
Huo Jilin quickly helped him up, "How is it? Can you walk?"
Wang Kaixuan gritted his teeth, "It's okay, I can still walk."
The two continued to move forward and finally saw a huge old locust tree.
"It's this tree!" Wang Kaixuan shouted excitedly.
Huo Jilin looked around, "The ancient tomb should be nearby, let's look for it carefully."
After searching for a while, they found a hidden entrance.
"It should be here." Huo Jilin said.
Wang Kaixuan hesitated, "Jilin, I... I'm a little scared."
Huo Jilin patted his shoulder, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The two walked into the ancient tomb, which was filled with an old atmosphere.
"This place is gloomy and scary." Wang Kaixuan's voice trembled.
Huo Jilin took a torch and lit the road ahead, "Be careful, follow me."
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the front.
"What's that sound?" Wang Kaixuan grabbed the corner of Huo Jilin's clothes tightly.
Huo Jilin looked ahead vigilantly, "I don't know, be careful."
I saw a huge bat flying towards them.
"Ah!" Wang Kaixuan screamed in fear.
Huo Jilin waved the torch and drove the bat away.
After finally getting rid of the bat, the two continued to move forward and finally found the place where the night pearl was placed.
"Quick, put the night pearl back." Huo Jilin said.
Wang Kaixuan quickly put the night pearl back to its original position, and at this moment, the ancient tomb began to shake violently.
"Not good, it may have triggered some mechanism." Huo Jilin shouted.
"What should I do?" Wang Kaixuan panicked.
Huo Jilin pulled Wang Kaixuan, "Run!"
The two ran desperately in the shaking ancient tomb, and stones kept falling behind them.
"Jilin, I can't run anymore." Wang Kaixuan said breathlessly.
Huo Jilin encouraged him, "Hold on, we'll be out soon."
Finally, they escaped from the ancient tomb.
"Finally, we got out. This time, it was a narrow escape." Wang Kaixuan sat down on the ground.
Huo Jilin also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't be so reckless in the future."
Wang Kaixuan smiled embarrassedly, "I know, this time it's all thanks to you, Jilin."
Just then, a sound came from a distance.There was a sound of horse hooves. It turned out that the people from Yizhuang were chasing us.
"Oh no, they found us." Huo Jilin said.
Wang Kaixuan's face turned pale, "What should we do?"
Huo Jilin's eyes were firm, "Don't be afraid, let's explain it to them clearly."
The people from Yizhuang came in front of them, and the big man in the lead shouted angrily, "Hand over the night pearl!"
Huo Jilin said, "The night pearl has been returned to the ancient tomb. We know we were wrong. I hope you can let us go."
The big man was half-believing and half-doubting, "Really?"
Wang Kaixuan nodded quickly, "It's true, we won't dare to do it again."
The big man thought for a moment and said, "Humph, I'll spare you this time, but if there is a next time, I will definitely not let you go easily."
After that, the people from Yizhuang left.
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan smiled at each other. The crisis was finally over.
"Finally escaped." Wang Kaixuan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said.
Huo Jilin glanced at him and said, "You are lucky this time. Don't act so recklessly in the future."
Wang Kaixuan nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, I will never do that again."
The two were about to leave when they suddenly heard a sinister laugh behind them.
"Hahahaha... Do you think this is the end?"
Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan were shocked and turned around to see a mysterious man in black slowly walking out of the shadows.
"Who are you?" Huo Jilin asked vigilantly.
The man in black sneered, "Who am I? You don't need to know. You just need to know that you can't return the Night Pearl just because you want to."
Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but say, "We have returned the Night Pearl. What else do you want?"
The man in black said grimly, "The Night Pearl is the key to unlocking a mysterious treasure. If you return the Night Pearl, it will be equivalent to cutting off my financial resources."
Huo Jilin frowned, "We have no intention of getting involved in these disputes. Don't push us too far."
The man in black laughed, "Push us too far? None of you can leave today!"
As he said that, the man in black waved his hands, and a group of people in black rushed out from all around, surrounding Huo Jilin and Wang Kaixuan.
Wang Kaixuan was so scared that his face turned pale, "This... What should I do?"
Huo Jilin clenched his fists, "Don't be afraid, fight them!"
Huo Jilin was agile, dodging left and right, and repelling the enemy's attacks again and again.
Wang Kaixuan watched nervously from the side, occasionally picking up stones on the ground to help.
"Jilin, be careful!" Wang Kaixuan shouted when he saw a man in black attacking Huo Jilin from behind.
