"So where are we now?" Chen Ze continued to ask.

"It seemed to be in a canyon. I don't know. I just remember that the cave was very deep, and then we kept falling down, and finally fell on a grassland. There was a bridge at the end of the grassland, and there was water under the bridge. My uncle and I climbed onto the bridge, and then we met you, and then we ran all the way out." Lin Wan'er recalled.

Chen Ze was also surprised after listening to this, because he had basically no impression of the things Lin Wan'er said, and Chen Ze didn't even believe her words at all.

But Chen Ze had no reason to doubt her words. After all, what she said was true.

Moreover, Chen Ze felt weak all over at the moment, and he had no way to identify the direction. He could only rely on guessing, and Chen Ze always felt that something was wrong.

Take Lin Wan'er for example. According to her description, Lin Wan'er got lost in the cave and then walked out of the cave by accident. However, the two of them walked for a long time before they reached a grassland.

This is too much of a coincidence.

But Chen Ze couldn't care less about so many things now, because he was injured and had to hurry up to recover his strength. It would be bad if the lizard beast made a surprise attack.

"Chen Ze, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?" Lin Wan'er handed Chen Ze a cup of hot tea.

Chen Ze took a sip of hot tea and felt much better, but he still did not let his guard down.

"Let's continue on our way. I'm afraid the lizard beast is still lingering around." Chen Ze said.

"Okay." Lin Wan'er nodded and agreed.

Chen Ze and Lin Wan'er searched in the mountains for several hours and finally came across a river in a remote valley.

"Let's rest here for a while. I'm almost exhausted." Lin Wan'er said to Chen Ze while panting.

Chen Ze also felt tired, so he nodded in agreement.

"This river is quite wide, and the water is clean and clear." Chen Ze sighed as he looked at the gurgling stream.

The source of this river happens to be the ancient tomb.

Somehow, Chen Ze suddenly felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Chen Ze shook off the messy thoughts in his mind and prepared to find a place to rest with Lin Wan'er.

Just as the two were about to move forward to find a suitable place to stay, Lin Wan'er suddenly grabbed Chen Ze.

"What's wrong?" Chen Ze asked puzzledly.

"Do you smell anything strange?" Lin Wan'er asked with a frown after taking a few deep breaths of air.

"A strange smell?" Chen Ze recalled the smell he had just smelled, and it seemed to be quite different.

Seeing Chen Ze thinking seriously, Lin Wan'er thought that Chen Ze had remembered it.

So he urged Chen Ze: "Hurry up and lead the way!"

Chen Ze shook his head, indicating that he had not figured out where the strange smell came from.

"Smell it carefully again. I feel like this smell is very familiar...but I can't remember it." Chen Ze said.

Lin Wan'er was confused by Chen Ze, but she still did as Chen Ze said and put her nose close to Chen Ze.

Lin Wan'er took a deep breath and her face changed drastically, "You smell like a rotting corpse!!"

Chen Ze was shocked when he heard this.

"What's that smell? I don't have it!" Chen Ze hurriedly explained.

Although Chen Ze is not afraid of ghosts or the like, he does not want to be contaminated by such a smelly thing.

"Don't lie to me, I can smell it! And you are a student, how can you smell like a rotting corpse? Who are you trying to fool? Don't think you can fool me just because you are handsome!" Lin Wan'er said with a blank look at Chen Ze.

Chen Ze wanted to cry but had no tears. What sin had he committed to deserve such a thing?

"Then where do you think this smell comes from?" Chen Ze asked repeatedly.

Lin Wan'er was silent. Of course, she couldn't tell where this strange fragrance came from, but she was sure that she was not wrong.

"Why don't we retreat first? This cave is dark and scary. I'm scared!" Chen Ze suggested.

"If you're scared, just say it earlier! It's too late now!" Lin Wan'er said and turned away.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Chen Ze shouted.

However, Lin Wan'er ignored Chen Ze and continued walking forward.

"Oh, I'm so unlucky." Chen Ze complained and chased after her. Not long after, Chen Ze followed Lin Wan'er to a cliff.

"Hey, look!" Lin Wan'er pointed at the steep cliff above the cliff and called out to Chen Ze.

"Hmm? What is this?" Chen Ze looked in the direction of Lin Wan'er's finger.

The cliff was covered with moss, but at this moment the moss began to wriggle like a living thing.

As the moss moved, a huge, pale face gradually appeared in front of Chen Ze and the others.

"Ah~" Lin Wan'er was startled and screamed and hid behind Chen Ze.

Chen Ze did not expect that there was such a scene hidden here, but Chen Ze's judgment was pretty good.

Chen Ze patted Lin Wan'er's shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay, it looks like it's dead!"

As Chen Ze spoke, the huge skull slowly opened its eyes.

"Roar!"

A hoarse and unpleasant roar sounded, deafening.

Lin Wan'er screamed again and fainted.

Chen Ze quickly helped Lin Wan'er to sit down next to him and asked the system to check it.

Only after confirming that Lin Wan'er was fine did Chen Ze feel slightly relieved.

At this moment, Chen Ze suddenly felt something approaching him, and Chen Ze turned his head abruptly.

After all, Chen Ze was a beat too slow, and the skull opened its mouth and bit him.

Chen Ze slapped the skull on the cheek.

The skull's head shook for a while, but it still pounced forward as steady as a rock.

Chen Ze quickly stepped back a few steps to keep a distance from the skull, because Chen Ze was worried that the skull would attack again.

Chen Ze retreated while observing the skull's reaction.

Although this skull looks ferocious, its actual combat power is not very high.

The most important thing is that there are no eyeballs in the eye sockets of this skull.

The skull looked to be about three or four meters tall, but its movements were very stiff, like a robot.

There is a circle of red hair on the neck of the skull, which seems to be caused by years of exposure to outside air.

The skull of the skull is very thin and looks fragile.

Moreover, the skull has a strong fishy smell.

Chen Ze guessed that it was the smell of corruption, because Chen Ze had just kicked one of its ribs, and the shape of the rib had become a little bent.

"Roar!"

The skull's deep, hoarse voice came again.

Chen Ze lashed out with a whip-like kick, aiming straight at the skull's throat.

But the skull dodged easily.

The skull is extremely agile and knows how to dodge attacks, so it's obvious that it has a soul.

However, the skull obviously has no offensive power. It only fights by relying on its physical advantages and strong defense.

After Chen Ze dealt with it for a while, he figured out its routines and attack patterns.

"Boom!"

Chen Ze seized the opportunity and punched the skull on top, and immediately a muffled groan was heard.

The sound was like hitting a steel plate.

The skull was knocked away by Chen Ze and hit a rock, which was shattered and scattered all over the ground. (End of this chapter)
