I Did Many Dangerous Things After Knowing When I Would Die Chapter 16
Advertisement
Blake looked at the ghostly qi that filled the air, and started to panic even more.
At first, when he had felt his spiritual power gradually being chipped away, he thought that it was the ghostly qi that was casting an illusion upon him.
Never would he have thought that it wasn't an illusion.
The ghostly qi had actually synthesized real corpse worms!
Corpse worms were a kind of worm unique to a thousand-year-old cemetery, formed from the Yin qi of ancient corpses. Usually, they only appeared in shady areas, gathering in groups.
They would feed on everything they passed; in their wake, not a blade of grass grew, and they left clean white bones along their trail.
No creature could ever escape their terror.
Such ghastly creatures should have appeared in dark, damp, and desolate places.
Why would they appear here?
Black's mind was clouded with doubts.
However, now was not the time to be wondering about this.
After everyone realized that these corpse worms were not illusions, they panicked, fleeing in all directions.
Meanwhile, John, who was still stuck in the hole he had dug, wildly pulled at the walls of soil surrounding him beneath the level ground, trying to climb out of the pit. His face was drained of all color.
However, because he had Blake's cross on his neck, he had attracted the ghostly qi's attention throughout the entire cemetery.
The swarm of ghostly qi was immediately overcome with excitement as they sensed John's presence.
It flocked to John from all directions, directly enveloping John in a cloud.
As the fog was so thick, it was impossible for the audience not to notice its deathly presence. Instantly, the whole livestream comments section exploded, and everyone was paralyzed with fear!
However, because the netizens were separated from the scene by a screen, the effects were not as potent. They were still able to fix their gaze onto their screens in anticipation of what would happen next.

"Help... help!"
On the screen of the livestream, John could be seen crying out for help with all his might.
However, at the moment, all members of the expedition team could barely even protect themselves.
Who had the ability to save him?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a strong wind hurtled past them...
John's body was being lifted up by this strong gust of wind!
Not long after, the entire livestream started to shake. That black ghostly qi was trying to drag John underground with it.
"Help, Blake, help!"
John's face turned pale.
At this moment, he could clearly feel the imminent pull of death!
If Blake did not make a move, John would definitely die!
He did not hesitate, calling straight out to Blake in the distance for help.
What would the viewers think if they were to see this?
He was no longer bothered. After all, what else was more important than his own life?
John screamed in horror as the cross hung around his neck started to sway.
All of a sudden, the cross was tightly cloaked in the black ghostly qi. Not even a slight trace of its silver prominence could be seen anymore.
John then realized, "Could it be that this mass of ghostly qi was attracted by this cross around my neck?"
D*mn it! How could he fall for such a simple trick?!
At this moment, John regretted swatting away his skepticism of the cross previously; he should not have taken it. However, now was not the time to wallow in regret.
He grabbed the cross and pulled it off his neck forcefully. With a haggard expression, he begged Blake for mercy.
"Blake! Your cross!
"I was wrong. Blake, please save me!
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have lied to everyone...

"This cross is yours! It has nothing to do with me!
"The cross I tried to sell was a fake!
"I was the one who lied to everyone...
"I don't know anything about magic circles at all!
"You were the one who saved everyone when we were stuck under the illusion!
"I was so obsessed with my own greed that I...
"Blake, please! Save me!"
John wailed loudly.
At this moment, nothing else mattered to him. All he wished for was to survive this ordeal. He was hell-bent on staying alive.
Nothing else mattered at all.
As long as he was alive, he could search for an opportunity to turn the tables!
Therefore, he did not waver as he revealed the truth.
Hearing his confession, the viewers in the livestream were taken aback, especially the tycoons who had offered huge sums of their wealth to buy John's crosses.
They felt completely betrayed.
That... That was...
Fake?
Everything was fake?
John Jones… had been lying this whole time?
Not only had he lied to everyone about the extraordinary origins of the crosses, but he also lied that Blake's cross belonged to him...
Over 600000 netizens had actually believed his nonsense!
Not only had they never held an inch of doubt for John, but they also cheered him as he forced Blake to hand over his own personal cross...?
A wave of guilt crashed into the audience, so much so that they felt like burying themselves in a hole. They had been so proud of themselves for supporting John, and now look how the tables have turned...
They had never thought that they would be deceived by such underhand trickery in their life.
They supported this swindler as he deceived... no, openly robbed a high school student of his own protection?
Shame, regret, disbelief, anger…
All sorts of infuriating emotions thrashed in their hearts.
When everyone looked at John again, they felt like cutting him into a thousand pieces!
However...
Although they were filled with distrust and rage towards John, there was still one question lingering in everyone's mind.
Why had John asked Blake for help?
Blake... wasn't he just an ordinary high school student from the start?
How could an ordinary high school student help him, trapped in his position?
John was also human, yes, but he was also an experienced and trained wilderness explorer. His physical fitness was definitely the best among everyone there.
Blake, with his lanky arms and legs... Was there any possibility that he could save John?
Could it be... that he was actually even stronger than John?
Everyone was curious, and hungered to find out more.
At that moment, Blake moved!
