My Boyfriend Is A Dragon-Chapter 184 - Bai Wu’s in the Coffin

Even Zhang Fei and Xu Lan who were situated one kilometer away found their way here. However, the elder who was with them all along was nowhere to be seen. Those who followed him lowered their heads in grief as Bai Wu had taken great care of them throughout the journey.

“Where’s Bai Wu?” Xu Lan’s pupils widened as he walked towards the businessman with trembling legs, where he gripped his collar and questioned him loudly.

“I don’t know,” the businessman replied calmly while he retracted from an agitated Xu Lan.

“You don’t know? F*ck! Aren’t you guys supposed to be together!” All of a sudden, Xu Lan was enraged and he punched the rockery beside him with a ‘pang’.

‘Clatter… rumble…’ The rocks from the rockery started crumbling down, followed by the mounted rocks above their heads. Heaps of loess started collapsing, making it difficult for them to keep their eyes open.

“Look at what you’ve done! Let’s find a place to hide first!” The businessman was undaunted by the situation and commanded them while walking towards the direction of the light emitted by the phosphine fire.

The air was very thin in the catacomb. Combustion of the phosphine required oxygen, and it would only ignite when oxygen was abundant. They might even find a way out if they kept on following the light.

Sheng Ya held Xu Lan’s hand and lead him forward. He was in a blank state as his heart was left behind at that wooden building, the place where Bai Wu was last seen. While they were on their way here, they saw the remains of Gu worms all over the place. When the Gu worms left the vessel for a certain amount of time, they will die if they did not burrow themselves into the body of a host. They even found the corpses of the village chief and Wu Ling. Their bodies were completely distorted after being devoured by the Gu worms. It was an unbearable sight to behold.

The most important thing was that Bai Wu disappeared as well!

They passed through the dark and narrow alley and reached an open space that was brightly lit. There were exquisite murals all over the walls,and it surrounded the raised podium in the center of the open ground. Rattling chains bridged the podium and open ground together. There were a total of eight iron chains that connected it to the ground. Each chain had its own mermaid pedestal. It was said that those grave lights fuelled with mermen oil would continue to burn for a hundred thousand years once they were ignited.

Underneath the chains was a surging subsurface stream, the rumbling sounds could awaken the deaf. The blast created by the subsurface stream pounded on the orderly chime-bells on the podium, creating a melodious tune.

“Hey, guys! Don’t head over first, beware of ambush!” Curiosity kills the cat, Xu Lan could not help but remind them when he saw them climbing onto the iron chain with such eagerness.

“Xu Lan, aren’t you going over?” Sheng Ya grabbed a handful of ash and asked worriedly. No one was in a good mood since they knew that Bai Wu had gone missing. However, this was not the time to wallow or grief, they should think of a way to escape from there.

Perhaps Bai Wu was also searching for them anxiously on the other side at this very moment.

“Elder? Elder! Quick! Everybody, come over and look! It’s the elder!” Someone gathered up the courage and walked towards the coffin, where he suddenly yelled out loud.

“No!” Xu Lan blanked out for a short while before rushing over as if he was possessed. He ran towards the crystal coffin that was situated at the center.

Bai Wu was still wearing the clothes given by Wu Ling. It was covered in stains but there was no sign of him being hurt. He looked very serene laying down in the coffin.

“Bai Wu? Bai Wu?” Xu Lan was both surprised and delighted, where he shook Bai Wu and tried to wake him up. However, no matter how hard he tried shaking and yelling, there was no reply from Bai Wu. The only reply was the echo that reverberated around the whole space.

“Bai Wu! F*ck! F*cking wake up! Who gave you the permission to sleep here!”
