Lin Qiye and his group continued to go deeper into the cave.

This time, the tunnel became narrower and more winding, barely wide enough for one person to pass through.

The surrounding stone walls are covered with protrusions and grooves of various sizes, and it is unknown how many hidden mechanisms and weapons are hidden there.

Everyone walked slower and slower, not daring to even breathe.

"Watch your step!"

Lin Qiye suddenly shouted in a low voice, scaring everyone so much that they stopped immediately.

I saw a copper ring suddenly appeared on the ground in front of me. Its color blended with the surrounding ground. If I didn't look carefully, I wouldn't even be able to find it!
"This copper ring is probably the fuse of the mechanism." Lin Qiye carefully observed the peculiar structure.

"Let's go around it. Don't touch it, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous!"

When everyone heard this, they all took a deep breath.

Fortunately, Lin Qiye had sharp eyes and discovered the danger in advance.

Otherwise, who knows what unexpected events might happen!
The group carefully avoided the copper ring.

But after walking a few steps, there was another exclamation!
I saw that at the fork in the road ahead, a hidden pressure mechanism was triggered!
With a crisp "click" sound, the two stone gates suddenly closed on both sides of the fork in the road, and it seemed that they were about to block the road!
"Quick! Go through the middle!" Lin Qiye made a prompt decision and leaped in.

The others also reacted quickly and rushed forward like rabbits.

The stone door closed very quickly. After Lin Qiye passed by, he used the black gold ancient knife to hold it tightly to one side, buying time for the people behind him.

The stone gate on the other side was held there by the other soldiers who had passed through first.

Even though he was suppressed, the gap between Lin Qiye and them could be seen.

At the critical moment, everyone finally broke through the stone gate.

Looking back, the two stone doors were tightly closed and the way I came was no longer visible.

"I didn't expect that the mechanisms in this tomb are so strange and changeable." Li Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and his face turned pale.

"No wonder this is a forbidden area. It's easy to get in but hard to get out. This journey was really exciting!"

"Don't be afraid!" Lin Qiye said firmly, "Since there is a way in, there must be a way out. The key is to crack the mechanism in the tomb and find the treasure."

"That's right!" Cheng Long agreed, "We have finally come this far, we can't give up halfway!"

Everyone thought the same and nodded, gathering their team and continuing to move towards the depths of the underground palace.

The tunnel gets deeper and deeper, and the road becomes more complicated.

One fork in the road is connected to another, like a maze.

If Lin Qiye had not been familiar with the art of formations, he would have lost his way long ago.

However, even with Lin Qiye's guidance, there were dangers lurking along the way.

From the poison arrows hanging from the ceiling of the cave to the spikes buried underground.

From the flames gushing out from the cracks in the rocks to the sudden collapse of the road surface.

There is a deadly murderous intent everywhere, and the slightest carelessness will lead to eternal damnation.

Everyone was treading on thin ice, trembling with fear.

I was afraid that the god of death's scythe would fall quietly in the next second.

As the road extends, more and more strange murals and inscriptions appear on the cave walls.

"These patterns should be depicting the history of the Shensha Kingdom." Lin Qiye muttered to himself as he walked and looked.

The murals depict scenes of kings being crowned and soldiers fighting.

With inscriptions, it seems to tell the history of the rise and fall of a dynasty. "Look, is this a painted sand table?" Cheng Long exclaimed, pointing to a mural.

Everyone came forward to take a look, and it was indeed true!
The mural clearly showed a huge sand table, exactly the same as the one they found in the oasis!
"Looking at this layout, it's definitely the Ancient City of Gods and Demons!"

“I didn’t expect that this underground palace and the ruins on the ground are so intricately connected.” Lin Qiye frowned, as if thinking about something.

Just as everyone was immersed in shock, a discordant voice suddenly rang out.

“Ah! It hurts!”

When I turned around, it was Yang Mi.

I saw her covering her arm, her brows full of pain.

"Sister Mi, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Long asked with concern.

"I... I seem to have been stung by something." Yang Mi gritted her teeth, enduring the pain. "Just now, I accidentally leaned against the wall of the cave, and suddenly felt a sharp pain in my arm."

Before she finished speaking, Yang Mi's face had turned pale and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

"Let me take a look." Lin Qiye hurried to Yang Mi and checked her wound.

There were two purple-black dots on Yang Mi's fair arm, and the surrounding skin had begun to turn red and swell.

"Oh no! This is scorpion poison! And it's not an ordinary scorpion!" Lin Qiye's face changed.
"What? There are poisonous scorpions in this tomb?" Everyone was shocked.

"I wonder where these damn things are hiding!" Wu Jing looked around angrily, wishing he could pull those poisonous insects out and crush them.

Yang Mi was already sweating from the pain and her breathing was getting weaker and weaker.

The situation is very critical!
Lin Qiye frowned and quickly took out some herbs from his backpack, crushed them and applied them to the wound.

"Yang Mi, hold on! You must not fall asleep!"

Cheng Long held Yang Mi's hand tightly and kept comforting her.

The others were also on high alert, guarding against possible dangers at any time.

"Damn it, if only there was an antidote serum." Lin Qiye felt very annoyed while he was rescuing the man.

However, now that we are deep in the underground palace, where can we find the antidote serum?
Yang Mi's consciousness became increasingly blurred and her breathing became weaker.

Everyone's heart was in their throat and they were at a loss as to what to do.

At this moment, a mural on the cave wall attracted Lin Qiye's attention.

In the painting, there is a mysterious sun-shaped totem surrounded by fine lines.

"Wait." Lin Qiye's eyes focused, as if he had grasped something, "This totem. Could it be?"

He quickly moved forward and looked closely at the sun pattern.

"I understand!" Lin Qiye's eyes suddenly brightened, "Quick! Follow the directions on the murals to find the mechanism!"

Wu Jing and Li Jing looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why, they took action immediately.

They searched around along the direction indicated by Lin Qiye.

Soon, in an inconspicuous corner, a hidden groove was found!
The shape of the groove is exactly the same as the sun pattern on the mural!
"That's it!" Lin Qiye said excitedly, "Quick, fit the shape of the pattern into the groove!"

Wu Jing carefully copied the sun pattern on the mural and then embedded it into the groove.

With a click, the groove sank!
Then, under everyone's gaze, the cave wall slowly opened, revealing a secret compartment!
In the secret compartment, a crystal clear jade bottle lay quietly.

Lin Qiye was overjoyed and quickly took out the jade bottle. In the bottle was a pool of emerald green liquid, emitting a mysterious luster. (End of this chapter)
