My Mysterious Husband novel Chapter 244

No way! She couldn’t tolerate being with these bandits, she had to find a shelter for herself. Fortunately, the cliff was cracked and there was a hole on it. Perhaps she could conceal herself in it. Small as it was, it could contain her figure in a unpleasant way. And the hole was in a good angle which could hide itself from light ahead. Seconds later, they came much closer and a voice echoed in the cave from Mr. Cai, who was thrilled to see such a natural wonder. In a secret peep, Venus found most of them got wounded by cliffs and they looked flustered about the unknown cave.

“Here I find a stone coffin.” Cried Alisa in a sharp tone.

“Let’s go for a look.” said Gavin. When they came nearer, someone gave out a groan and cried, ”Don’t touch the water, there is something weird in it.”

Mr. Cai bent down and had a careful check. After that, he said, “There are a large amount of lime and sulfur in the water as a way to scare away invaders. The master of this stone coffin must be of high rank."

"Damn, the bitch lied to us, there is no treasure here but a fucking tomb." Heng Zhang cursed.

Mr. Cai interrupted him and said, "Don’t be silly, man, I think the stone coffin is the invaluable treasure, do you see the sapphires and rubies on it, each of them is worth tens of millions."

"Really? That perhaps be a compensation for us! " said Heng and calmed down his anger.

Venus sighed quietly and she did feel sorry for the tomb owner for now these bandits were gonna unearth the dead and its belongs.

“The waterway is not wide enough to stop our way, ” said Gavin and gave a signal to one of his fellows, ”you, go across it and open the stone coffin for us.” After a while of hesitation, he went ahead and jumped across the hot waterway. When he moved ahead a little bit, his figure fell down and sank into a large canal.

“No!” A scream came from him and half a minute later, he was totally swallowed by the canal and the waterway turned back to a chilling silence.

What the hell was that beneath the shining surface of the canal? Venus was scared by what she saw just now.

“It's mercury." Said Mr. Cai seriously, "It is highly poisonous. To prevent the tomb from thefts, ancient designers for royal family often build mercury pools in the tombs, which is the reason why the Mausoleum of Emperor Qinshihuang is still under the earth. Unearthing such a tomb will definitely cost your life at this point. Now there is no doubt that the owner of the tomb enjoys a distinguished status in his life. "

A unpleasant silence spread among them. The invaluable treasure was over there, but they didn’t have any good way to take away it. Mr. Cai said with a sigh, ”Let’s go, I am sure that will cost our life.”

Heng was obviously reluctant to leave and cried, "No, we can’t go back without any spoil!"

“But as you saw, the mercury pool gets in our way and we can’t make sure our safety when we try to go across it. ” replied Mr. Cai.

“Wait!” Cried Alisa, who took a look around with her flashlight and asked, ”Where is Venus going?”

“Yes, what about that bitch? There seems to be no other exit here. Where did she go?” said Heng.

Mr. Cai fixed his eyes tightly at the seemingly calm mercury pool and said in a pitiful tone, "Perhaps she has fallen into the mercury pool like the fellow."

"Yes, boss." Said Heng.

Venus bit her lips firmly in fear that any sound she made would attract their attention. Despite this, she could still heard Alisa’s approaching footsteps. Woman is the creature who can make smart judgment through her accurate intuition. Venus closed her eyes and prayed quietly. The perfume of Alisa wafted in the air and after a while, she left for another direction and said, ”I wonder where can she shelter herself in such a limited room.”

Heng joined her searching job yet still failed to find their prey.

“Boss, what if she fell into the mercury pool and died therein?” asked Alisa in a confused tone. There was no exit and any place to hide here, perhaps she did die in the fatal pool. At this point, Mr. Cai seemed a little dizzy because of the limited oxygen in the cave and he said, “Can we get out of the cave first, I am almost suffocated.”

“Yes, let’s get out of here first.” Replied Gavin, who also felt a unease this place. Venus took a breath of relief about the decision he made. When she tried to crawl out from the hole, the flashlight dropped down from her backpack and made a clear noise. However, before she retreated back to the hole, a strong light met her and Heng's scolds echoed in the cave: “Bitch, you did play a good joke on us! ”

At the sight of Venus’s embarrassed expression, Alisa gave her a ironic smile and said, "Good girl, finally we got you."

Venus calmed herself down and held the backpack firmly on her shoulders. What could she do now? She didn’t want to go with them.

“Come on out, or I will give you a good lesson there.” Cried Heng, whose flashlight shot at her face directly and she couldn’t ever open her eyes.
