Upon hearing this, the soldiers immediately turned around, and all the crowbars and shovels were directed towards the gap!
"Rumble"

With a series of ear-piercing noises, the crack gradually widened!
Countless pieces of gravel and sand fell down, revealing a dark hole.

"Success!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim, shaking with excitement.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the mysterious cave entrance, not daring to blink.

After a while, a cold breath slowly overflowed from the cave.
"What is this?" Everyone gasped and their scalps went numb!
Lin Qiye frowned slightly, and his eyes became more fierce.

At the end of the cave, a strange light was faintly visible, exuding a somewhat eerie aura.

"Everyone be careful, don't act rashly!" He reminded them again and again, and took the lead to explore the cave.

In the live broadcast room, countless viewers stared at the screen intently, afraid of missing every wonderful moment.

"Shit! They really dug it out!"

"Oh my god! What on earth is hidden in that cave? Could it be a thousand-year-old zombie?!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Maybe it's the legendary dragon's lair. There might be countless treasures in it!"

"What treasure! Didn't you see that gusty wind? It made my Mimi's hair messy. It's obviously evil!"

"I say, could this be the secret passage leading to the Ancient City of Gods and Demons?"

"That makes sense! That token key must be prepared for this cave entrance!"

"I just don't know where this hole leads to. It may be a maze with walls built around it."

"No matter where it leads to! It's the right path to follow Lin Qiye!"

"That's right! Only Master Lin can give orders calmly at a time like this!"

"He is indeed my idol! I will definitely follow him!"

Lin Qiye took the lead, holding a flashlight, and was the first to step into the mysterious cave.

Behind him, Wu Jing, Cheng Long and others followed closely, looking around vigilantly.

Behind them are a group of strong warriors, with weapons in hand, ready to deal with crises at any time.

With the help of the flashlight, everyone could see clearly that this was actually a long and narrow secret passage. The walls on both sides were covered with strange lines. Each line was dark red, and like the murals at the original entrance of the cave, they were painted with blood, making these lines emit a chilling feeling.

"These lines look like some kind of ancient hexagrams." Lin Qiye looked at them carefully and muttered to himself.

He could vaguely recognize the shapes of different hexagrams such as "Heaven", "Earth" and "Marsh", but they were also mixed with many mysterious symbols that he had never seen before, and the arrangement and combination were very abstruse.

"Is this hinting at something?" Lin Qiye frowned and fell into deep thought.

The secret passage is winding and there is no end in sight.

As we went deeper, the air became increasingly cold and depressing.

I don't know how long I walked, but the road ahead became narrower and narrower!
"This is.!"

When that bright line came into view, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had not made a mistake!
Following the light, I saw a huge circular stone hall in front of me. The walls were pitch black and I couldn't see the top at a glance. It was so majestic that it was awe-inspiring!
In the middle of the hall, there sat a huge statue, which was crystal clear and radiated a compelling golden light!
The statue holds its hands flat in front of its chest, holding up a huge black ball.

There are countless strange patterns carved on the surface of the sphere!
"Could this be the legendary 'Heart of God'?!" Lin Qiye's pupils shrank slightly and his heart was shocked.

It is said that the fate of the ancient Shensha country is tied to a mysterious holy object. Whoever controls the holy object can command the world and enjoy supreme power forever!
The world calls that supreme holy object "The Heart of God and Evil"!
“I didn’t expect that the legend turned out to be true.”

Wu Jing, Cheng Long and others were so stunned that they even forgot to blink for a moment.

The glory and grandeur of the former Shensha Kingdom seemed to be condensed in this giant statue!
The majestic demeanor of "The Heart of God and Evil" shocked everyone present!
"Is this really the 'Heart of the Gods'? This is incredible!"

"No wonder the Ancient Shensha Country was so powerful back then. This is where their confidence came from!"

"This is a treasure that can command the world! I wonder what kind of magical power it contains!"

Everyone was talking about it, their eyes full of amazement.

In the live broadcast room, the audience was also completely excited.

"Oh my god! They actually found the 'Heart of the Gods'!"

"Awesome! This is the destiny of the ancient Shensha country, the ultimate sacred weapon in the legend!"

"If I get this thing, can I become the emperor if I want?"

"If you can get that treasure, won't you become the most powerful person in the world? Want to be the emperor? It will be just around the corner." Someone's eyes flashed with greed.

"Are you worthy of being an emperor? With that face of yours, you probably can't even be a palace maid!" Someone sneered and immediately poured a basin of cold water on him.

Just when everyone in the live broadcast room was arguing.

Lin Qiye fell into deep thought.

He looked in the direction of the "Heart of God and Evil" with a frown on his face, as if he was thinking about something.

"Although this treasure is precious, everyone should think twice." He said in a deep voice, "An ancient book says, 'The sword Chixiao commands all directions. Whoever obtains it will be king, and whoever loses it will perish.' Emperors of all dynasties have fought endlessly to seize the divine weapon, bringing disaster to the people and making them suffer unspeakably. This concerns the lives of all people in the world, so every move must be made with extreme caution."

"That's right. How can an ordinary person control such a precious artifact?" Wu Jing agreed with deep conviction, "If it falls into the hands of someone with bad intentions, it will probably be a disaster!"

"Qi Ye, what do you mean?" Cheng Long understood.

"It's nothing special. I just felt inspired. Now we need to find a way to get closer to the statue." Lin Qiye smiled and began to explore the terrain.

At this moment, they were standing on the mountain wall on one side of the stone hall, with a wide and deep chasm between them and the giant statue holding up the "Heart of God and Evil".

The ravine is so deep that it seems to go straight to the center of the earth, with no bottom in sight.

The location of the statue opposite is a raised platform with a smooth and flat surface and a faint black luster.

Lin Qiye studied it for a moment and said slowly: "Looking at this layout, it must have been deliberately done by later generations. This chasm is bottomless. If you rush through it, it may be dangerous."

"Then how do we get there?" Li Jing asked worriedly.

Lin Qiye did not answer, but looked up at the top of the cave.

I saw countless iron chains as thick as arms hanging from the rock wall above my head, extending all the way to the edge of the high platform opposite.

The chains are covered with rust and look very old. I wonder if they are still strong enough.

"It seems that this is a 'gift' left to us by the ancients." Lin Qiye smiled, "If we want to cross the chasm, we can only rely on these chains."

Everyone followed his gaze and immediately understood what he meant. (End of this chapter)
