The man in black had a fierce look in his eyes and uttered a curse again. The dagger turned into thousands of knife shadows, which attacked Lin Qiye in an overwhelming manner!
Lin Qiye's face changed slightly, he drew out the black gold ancient sword, and slashed at his chest!
With a few crisp clang sounds, countless sword shadows were all blown away.

But the next moment, the man in black teleported to Lin Qiye's side and slapped him with his palm.

At the same time, the magic dagger quietly came behind Lin Qiye and went straight to his back!
This is a move to attack from both sides and kill on the spot!
However, a terrifying light flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.

Instead of retreating, he advanced, took a side step, leaned forward slightly, and pushed his right shoulder forward, easily deflecting the mage's palm.

Then he turned around and swung the black gold ancient knife towards the mage's face!
This knife was extremely sharp, and it was about to take the mage's head!
The national magician calmly directed countless daggers to continue attacking Lin Qiye.

"Ah~!" A cut was made in Lin Qiye's soul by the dagger, and a lot of crystal clear gas flowed out.

However, the scream was indeed made by the mage, and he was looking at Lin Qiye with horror!
"What's in your soul? What's going on?!"

Seeing Lin Qiye, who was injured by him, looking at him with a confused face, the mage was so angry that his teeth were itching.

What just flowed out of Lin Qiye's soul was the purest soul power. The mage, who wanted to have a good meal, couldn't wait to step forward and suck in the soul power.

He never thought that the soul power that was supposed to be sweet would burn his soul like magma.

The wizard looked at the dissipating soul in disbelief, and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy from Lin Qiye.

"I am blind, please forgive me, great god!"

Lin Qiye was still looking at the mage kneeling in front of him stupidly. Until now he still didn't understand. He was clearly injured, so why did this guy kneel down in front of him.

Seeing that Lin Qiye didn't move at all, the mage kneeling on the ground flashed a fierce look in his eyes.

"In this case, let's die together, and let your soul be buried with me!"

After saying this, the wizard recited an obscure spell.

Although Lin Qiye still didn't understand what was happening, he knew that he must not let the wizard finish chanting the spell.

The ancient black gold sword was swung out again and chopped towards the mage fiercely.

"Qi Ye, Qi Ye, what's wrong with you?" Yang Mi's concerned voice came to my ears.

A light appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes again, and he glanced at the people around him.

"It's okay, I just got caught by mistake, I'm fine now."

Everyone still looked at Lin Qiye with some concern. They didn't know what Lin Qiye had just experienced.

In fact, everything just now happened in the consciousness space. The wizard originally wanted to devour Lin Qiye’s soul in order to resurrect and reincarnate.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qiye possessed the blood of the Qilin, which was specifically designed to restrain these evil creatures, but he ended up sacrificing himself. Lin Qiye turned a disaster into a blessing, and his soul power actually grew a lot!

Moreover, Lin Qiye also learned from the information in the soul fragments of the national guardian magician that there were indeed things related to the ancient city of Jingjue in the tombs of the ancient country of Shensha.

However, the wizard doesn't know where the thing is exactly.

But the only good thing is that this tomb was designed with the participation of the wizard. He originally wanted all the descendants of the gods and evil spirits to be cursed, so many of the mechanisms inside were designed according to the curse rituals. Now Lin Qiye can lead people to the main hall without any difficulty.

Lin Qiye told everyone about this incident, but concealed the important fact that his soul power had increased. When everyone heard about Lin Qiye's experience, they all sighed that if they were in his current body, they would already be a mage.

Lin Qiye led everyone through layers of traps according to the clues he learned from the wizard's memory fragments.

Although the general layout of the tomb was already known, the mechanisms and traps were still shocking.

Along the way, they saw stone walls that sprayed poisonous arrows, switches disguised as treasures, bottomless pits, and ground that spewed magma.
All of them demonstrate the amazing mechanisms and strange layouts of the ancient country of Shensha. If they had not known this in advance, many of these people would have died here.

"The designer of this tomb must have really thought carefully." Cheng Long exclaimed, "If it weren't for Qiye leading the way, I'm afraid we would have died here before we could take a few steps."

Wu Jing nodded in agreement: "That's right. The arrangement of those traps alone is enough to give even the most experienced tomb robbers a headache."

Lin Qiye shook his head and said solemnly: "Although the wizard hates the royal family, he obviously put some thought into the design of the mechanism. Along the way, have you ever noticed that many mechanisms are hidden, but you can always detect clues before they are triggered."

"Why is this?" Yang Mi was puzzled.

“Perhaps, that wizard not only wants to kill the royal family.” Lin Qiye pondered, “He probably also wants the royal family of the Shensha Kingdom to die without a burial place, so that people in the future can dig up their bones!”

Upon hearing this, everyone fell into deep thought. If it was really as Lin Qiye said, then this national magician was really too cruel.

A voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Report! The front seems to be the center of the tomb!"

Lin Qiye looked up and saw a huge circular space vaguely visible at the end of the deep corridor.

The place is brightly lit and magnificent, and it looks like the core of the ancient tomb of the gods and demons!
"That's it." Lin Qiye took a deep breath, "The greatest secret of the Mausoleum of the Gods and Demons is hidden here."

"Let's go, keep moving forward."

As everyone walked cautiously, the lights on the stone walls lit up one by one, illuminating the way ahead.

The closer you get to the center, the more mysterious the patterns carved on the wall become, and the more bizarre and terrifying the scenes in the murals become.

"Watch your step!" Lin Qiye suddenly shouted.

Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp "crack" sound, and the stone slab under a soldier's feet sank!
Countless sharp steel needles gushed out from the ground, turning the unfortunate soldier into a hornet's nest in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!" The scream stopped abruptly before it could even come out.

"What kind of mechanism is this?!" someone shouted in horror, his voice trembling.

Lin Qiye squatted down with a serious expression and examined the stone slab carefully.

"The pattern on this stone slab is different from other places. It looks like some kind of fuse." He muttered to himself, "It is probably connected to other mechanisms. It seems that we are close to the core of the tomb. There are some mechanisms here that are not even in the memory of the Protector of the Nation."

Wu Jing's face turned ugly when he heard this, and he whispered: "If you touch any taboos, I'm afraid your fate will be worse than that of the soldier just now."

"Don't worry." Lin Qiye stood up and patted Wu Jing's shoulder. "I'm here to protect you. Besides, we can't stop moving forward." (End of this chapter)
