Divine Lucky Star-Chapter 185 - : Ultimate Weapon
Chapter 185 -185: Ultimate Weapon
“Go back the way we came, if we can successfully re-enter that valley, maybe we can find the exit. Staying here we’ll definitely get trapped and die—at least in the valley there’s a lake, and a lake means there is food, and with food, at the very least people won’t die of hunger in the short term.”
“Alright, let’s head back the way we came!” Everyone was ready to leave and return the same way they came when Fang Wenbin suddenly said, “Brother Hao, since we’re leaving anyway, why don’t we take out the Dust bead first?”
The most valuable thing in this ancient tomb was the Dust bead! Since they had to leave, naturally they couldn’t leave without the Dust bead!
But Wang Hao knew that today was just bad luck! Taking the Dust bead casually was very likely to be dangerous!
“Umm, better not touch that,” Wang Hao shook his head, “Let’s leave it here for another opportunity in the future…”
“Brother Hao, Brother Hao…” Fang Wenbin whiningly tugged on his arm, shaking it vigorously like a spoiled little girl, “We can give up anything else but we must take this with us! We’ve seen it now, but what if we can never get back in here?”
“How could we possibly not get back in,” Zhao Zhenhao sneered, “With Brother Hao, where can’t we go?”
That sounded great, but returning next time really fucking might be difficult to get in!
They only got in this time because Hao had incredible luck! It was by having the “dice” lead the way that they could get in! But now the problem was, they had marked the path on the way back, but not the way they came!
Who knew if they could get in again next time?!
Before, the lucky dice had led them here, but an explicit shaking indicated that this thing was very important, and another thing, this artifact could be considered priceless, the most valuable of the entire tomb. Given the circumstances, not taking it would be a waste!
“Damn it, we really do have to take this thing with us!” Wang Hao gritted his teeth, “Everyone, back off and wait for me at the entrance!”
Since Wang Hao had given the command, everyone quickly gathered at the entrance—first bring this thing out!
Wang Hao then began looking for a way, carefully checking to see if there was any mechanism on Cao Cao’s helmet. After a long investigation, he didn’t find anything particularly unusual…
Screw it, he was unlucky today, whether there was a mechanism or not wasn’t important anymore, not to mention he just hoped not to die right then!
First Wang Hao wrapped the helmet with a rope, then he retreated to the room’s entrance and started giving tips to everyone: “As soon as I pull, you all immediately open the door and rush out, don’t forget!”
Everyone nodded in unison, “Okay!”
“Three… two… one!” Wang Hao counted down, then suddenly yanked the rope!
“Whoosh,” the helmet flew straight up from Cao Cao’s skeletal head into Wang Hao’s hand, and then… then everyone heard a cascade of clanking mechanisms…
“Fuck, there really was a trap!” Wang Hao was so frustrated; undoubtedly, his bad luck had kicked in!
“Run! Run fast!” Grabbing the Dust bead, Wang Hao yelled, “Let’s get out of this room first!”
There was no time for hesitation then, Fang Wenbin kicked the door open with a kick, and they all headed straight out, only to hear a “swoosh, swoosh, swoosh” sound behind them as who knew how many crossbow bolts were fired from the room, hitting the wall!
“That was close, that was close,” at least their lives were spared, Wang Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but just when they thought the danger was over, Wang Hao suddenly heard the sound of rushing water coming from inside the tomb chamber.
This… this is…
Fuck, this was definitely a massive killer weapon!
“Run fast!” Without a second word, Wang Hao grabbed Bai Yaning and started sprinting, “Everyone follow, quick! Fucking hell, this time it’s serious! Don’t get left behind!”
Everyone was utterly confused, but since Brother Hao said to run, they had to run! They started sprinting away, but had covered less than fifty meters when a thunderous “boom” erupted behind them, and then they saw a huge column of water blasting out from that tomb chamber!
“Damn it all!” Wang Hao exclaimed in frustration. Cao Cao was indeed a ruthless guy!
He had linked his corpse with the mechanism, so as soon as someone touched the Dust bead, it activated and started funneling water in, intending to flood the entire tomb!
“Water! Water!” Fang Wenbin ran while looking back, and the sight scared him half to death: “The water is rushing in!”

“And it’s all your good doing,” Zhao Zhenhao said through gritted teeth, “insisting on taking the Dust bead, and now look at what’s happened! Let’s get out first and settle the score later!”
The water behind them was catching up incredibly fast. Wang Hao and the others were sprinting ahead wildly, but soon Wang Hao heard Bai Yaning panting heavily; as a girl, she naturally had less physical strength. Without a word, Wang Hao hoisted Bai Yaning onto his back and continued the mad dash!
They quickly burst through the corridor, but as soon as they emerged, they were taken aback again!
That giant snake! The same giant snake was coiled right by the entrance of one of the holes!
This was just like when it rains, it pours! With it curled up there, the marks they had made before were now useless!
“The farthest hole on the left!” There was no time for hesitation. Wang Hao immediately led everyone toward the hole farthest from the giant snake: “Get in there, and don’t get lost following me!”
As they ran, everyone replied quietly, “Understood!”
After a bit more running, Duan Yunyun also couldn’t keep up, so Fang Wenbin picked her up and continued on!
By that time, the water had also flooded into the room, not just water but also numerous burial items washed out from the tombs. The powerful current instantly filled the entire large cave!
But perhaps Wang Hao was lucky after all, because the area of the cave was large enough, the water flow did indeed slow down significantly.
Yet the crisis was far from over. The water slowed down but it kept flowing. At this rate, it wouldn’t take long for the entire underground cave to be completely submerged!
“Don’t relax, keep running!” It was lucky that Wang Hao’s physique had been enhanced, or carrying Bai Yaning, he wouldn’t have been able to keep up such speed. Otherwise, he’d have been too exhausted to run by now.
The group sprinted on, and before long they arrived in front of another large cave, which had six entrances!
“Everyone, quickly look for a marked entrance,” Wang Hao shouted, “The marked one is the way out!”
Everyone scattered with their flashlights searching but after a while shook their heads in unison: “There’s none!”
Damn it, could their luck get any worse?!
“Go into the one on the far right!” Wang Hao picked a hole at random and rushed in: “Let’s figure it out inside!”
They all knew when they entered the underground cave system that there were countless entrances, and every large cave had six smaller ones. They had gone through seven such caves along their escape route!
At that moment, the biggest wish of the seven people was to find a marked entrance. As long as they found one, they could escape!
But against all odds, they had been running for more than twenty minutes, and by now water had already started to flood over their feet. It was a critical moment. As the water level rose, their speed would definitely slow down. Before long, they would have no choice but to be drowned!
