"Let's go. Now is not the time to study these things. Our most important task now is to find the exit. If everything goes well, I think we should be able to reach the exit on the top floor within a day."
After hearing what Fu said, Guona reluctantly turned his eyes away from the reliefs and words on the wall, nodded and said, "Yes, this place is indeed a bit weird. It's better for us to leave here. Even if we want to continue researching, we have to wait until we get out and find more people."
Fu and Guona were considered the leaders among the six people. After they made a decision, no one would object, and the group walked towards the spiral staircase on this floor. Like before, Shalan walked at the end, but the moment he reached the stairs, the Black Thunder Eye between his eyebrows flashed, and there was a burning sensation that made Shalan's eyebrows ache slightly.
Frowning, Shalan turned his head to look at the hall behind him, and after finding nothing noteworthy, he followed the people in front of him up the stairs. However, Shalan did not notice that, at some point, the number of people in front of him changed from five to six, and then from six to seven, climbing up the spiral staircase to the upper floor.
However, neither Fu, Guona, nor the other people, even Shalan, had expected that they would be walking on this spiral staircase for nearly an hour. In Shalan's impression, it would take them so long to reach the top floor of the Silaya Tower, but they still hadn't seen the next hall. Even Shalan, who was the calmest, had a changed expression. They had sensed something was wrong.
Fu, who was walking in front, stopped. She looked at the six people behind her with a serious expression and whispered, "There's something wrong with this staircase. We may not be able to go down like this. The mountain where the Silaya Tower is located is not very high. We have been walking for an hour. Even if we are climbing a mountain, we should have reached the top. We shouldn't be in this spiral staircase and not even see the next floor."
"Teacher Fu, could it be..."
Guona didn't finish his words, but Fu already knew what he meant. There are many examples in the archaeological community of encountering spirits in tombs or ruins during archaeological excavations. Those existences that cannot be judged by common sense often cause great trouble to archaeology and even casualties. No one wants to encounter tombs or ruins with spirits, but the existence of spirits cannot be analyzed by common sense. Some historical relics that are thousands of years old do not have them, but some old buildings that are only a dozen years old will give birth to such things. It is really an unreasonable existence.
If the problem they are facing now is not a trap or a mechanism, then the most likely possibility is that they are encountering interference from spiritual beings, making it impossible for them to escape.
"Let's keep going a little further, maybe we can get out."
As soon as Fu finished speaking, she was about to continue walking forward, but before she had walked far, she suddenly heard Gro said in a deep voice: "Teacher Fu, what if there is a dangerous place ahead? I think it is better for us to stay here for the time being. Anyway, we have food and water. If we wait here for a while, maybe someone will come to pick us up."
Just as Gro finished speaking, Nagona said, "Stay here? Only a brainless idiot like you would choose this. Once our food and water are all used up, what should we do? Wait here to die?"
"Food and water are in the hands of the three of you. If you are worried about food and water, I think the four of us without food and water will be in greater danger."
This time, the person who spoke was the teacher from Rosenberg University who had been following Gro. After hearing his words, Guona immediately reached out and grabbed the other person's collar and pressed him against the wall, and shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Helu, what did you say? Are you doubting me?"
The man named Helu reached out and knocked Guona's hand away, then pushed Guona out with his backhand, sneering and saying, "Who do you think you are? You are nothing more than a rich and powerful wife. If you rely solely on your real talent and knowledge, you are not qualified to be the director of the history department at all!"
"You bastard!"
Seeing that Guona was about to reach out to grab Helu, Ailan, who was standing next to Fu, said coldly at this moment: "As expected of a graduate from Rosenberg University, he has little knowledge and character, and only pursues money and position. He is really unworthy of the profession ."
"Humph, you are a teacher who relies on your father being a duke. What qualifications do you have to criticize us?"
"You're not much better. At least he's my father, and you're just living off your wife."
"Your Rosenberg University is nothing but that."
"Hurry up and give us the food and water. I want them to be distributed evenly!"
"You wish. These things are mine. Giving them to you is alms. What qualifications do you have to ask me for them?"
"You bastard, be careful or I'll kill you!"
"Kill me? Before that I'll kill you first!"
Seeing the quarrel becoming more and more intense, and even gradually turning into a life-and-death fight, Shalan felt more and more irritated, and gradually developed annoyance and murderous intent towards other people. He even felt a little resentful towards Ailan, who was very close to him, and felt that if she hadn't come to , he would not have encountered such a dangerous situation.
Shalan gritted his teeth and a hint of ferocity flashed in his eyes. He suddenly felt that it would be better if these people died. In this way, the remaining water and food would be enough to sustain him for a long time. Coupled with his own skills, he was able to deal with the situation here. And it would be best if no one should be left alive. No matter if it was Ailan or anyone else, he should kill them all!
Thinking of this, Shalan grasped the revolver on his chest, but just as he was about to pull out the revolver, the Black Thunder Eye on his forehead suddenly appeared on Shalan's forehead, emitting a burning pain that made Shalan groan, as if there was really a flame burning his forehead.
"Damn it, what's going on, I..."
As soon as she looked up, Shalan suddenly noticed the woman standing among the people who were arguing or even fighting. She was wearing a white dress, had a dull smile, and had an extremely pale face. She seemed to have noticed Shalan's gaze, and suddenly turned her head mechanically to look at Shalan. Her eyes turned completely pale, and a screaming woman's face appeared in them, and an identical , and this went on and on without stopping!
