Cheng Long was seen carrying the unconscious Lin Qiye on his back and leading everyone away from the imperial mausoleum ruins.

The long-lost sunshine once again shines on everyone's face, bringing exceptional warmth.

In a tent, Lin Qiye woke up slowly.

He just felt a splitting headache and there was no part of his body that didn't hurt.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was the snow-white ceiling of the medical tent.

"Where am I?" he asked with difficulty in his hoarse voice.

"Qianye! You finally woke up!"

Cheng Long on the side exclaimed in surprise.

His eyes were red and his beard was untidy, and it was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

“Brother Cheng Cheng? What’s this?” Lin Qiye was still a little confused.

"You have been in a coma for three days! Everyone has been worried about you these days! Fortunately, you survived at the last moment, otherwise..." Cheng Long choked.

In a coma for three days?

These few words were like thunderclaps from a clear sky, waking up Lin Qiye's mind.

He just felt the memories coming back like a tide.

The Demon Refining Cauldron in the Mausoleum of the Gods and Demons. The scenes of Wu Jing covered in blood kept flashing back in his mind.

"Where's Brother Wu Jing? He...he."

Lin Qiye sat up suddenly and looked at Cheng Long anxiously.

"Don't worry! He's fine now. After we came out, we got all the rewards from the forbidden area! Wu Jing's injuries have all healed!"

Cheng Long hurried to comfort her.

"That's great." Lin Qiye breathed a sigh of relief and fell heavily back onto the bed.

After a while, he asked again: "Where are the others? Are Yang Mi, Fairy Liu and the others all right?"

Cheng Long nodded: "Don't worry, everyone is fine. Thanks to your desperate protection, we were able to escape unscathed."

As he spoke, his eyes became red.

"Qiye, you really risked your life this time! If you hadn't risked your life, I'm afraid none of us would have escaped."

Lin Qiye smiled bitterly and struggled to sit up.

He looked around and felt that everything in the tent was extremely unfamiliar.

"We have left that damn place? Where are we now?"

Cheng Long sighed: "We are in an oasis on the edge of the desert. It is very far away from the Shensha Ancient City."

He paused, then continued, "After you cut through the eye of the Demon Refining Cauldron, the entire imperial mausoleum began to collapse. I carried you, who was unconscious, on my back and ran all the way, and only then did I escape."

"We have been resting here for the past few days, waiting for you to wake up. Everyone is extremely worried, afraid that something might happen to you."

At the end, Cheng Long could no longer hold back his tears.

Lin Qiye was speechless for a moment and could only pat him on the shoulder gently.

After a long while, he sighed quietly, "Ah, this trip is really extremely dangerous. If we are not in the same boat, I'm afraid none of us will be able to escape."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on a small table beside him.

There was a round bead the size of a pigeon egg quietly placed on the table. It was emerald green and emitted a faint luster.

"This is... Could it be the 'Heart of the God'?!" Lin Qiye's eyes widened. Cheng Long nodded: "Yes. This thing was found by Yang Mi in the ruins. I thought it had been broken into pieces, but I didn't expect it to be lying there intact."

Lin Qiye carefully held up the green bead and felt a surge of spiritual energy coming towards him.

"It's really strange. Logically, when the imperial mausoleum was destroyed, this 'Heart of the Gods' should have been destroyed as well. But now it is not only intact, but its spiritual energy is even better than before."

He frowned, obviously confused by this.

Cheng Long was also confused: "Perhaps there is some hidden story behind this. How about going back to ask Mr. Zhao? He is quite knowledgeable in Feng Shui and maybe he can figure out the mystery."

"Okay." Lin Qiye nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he asked again: "By the way, has the program team sent us any news?"

Cheng Long shook his head: "No. But Director Yan asked me to tell you to rest assured and recover from your injuries. We can discuss the follow-up matters of the program after you recover from your injuries."

Lin Qiye couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Director Yan Min actually cares about me, which is really touching.

"Okay. Then let's take good care of our wounds first. When everyone has recovered, we can celebrate properly. This adventure will be worth it."

Cheng Long nodded heavily, his face showing joy.

The two chatted for a few more sentences, and then Lin Qiye felt tired and was about to fall into a deep sleep again.

Seeing this, Cheng Long did not stay long. He knew that what Lin Qiye needed most now was rest.

"We have left the ancient kingdom of the gods and demons. We are distributing rewards now."

The old voice that he remembered when he just entered the God’s Tomb area rang in Lin Qiye’s mind!
Lin Qiye, who was feeling a little sleepy, his eyes lit up after hearing this voice and he was no longer sleepy.

He knew that everyone had received their own rewards after coming out, but the rewards each person received were different.

Just like Brother Wu Jing, who was thought to be dead, was completely unharmed. It was expected that his reward would not be too bad.

"Based on your performance in the forbidden area, I will now reward Lin Qiye with a piece of black crystal inner armor."

After the old voice finished speaking, Lin Qiye felt that there was something extra on his body, but when he looked around, he didn't see anything.

"The black crystal inner armor has been integrated into the body surface. This armor can provide extraordinary defense against evil spirits. Ordinary evil spirits cannot enter the body!"

"What?" Lin Qiye opened his mouth in surprise. This treasure was simply invented for tomb-diving!
With this inner armor, wouldn’t it be possible for me to become immune to ordinary evil spirits?
"A map of the ancient Moon Shadow Kingdom as a reward."

Hearing that there was a reward, Lin Qiye quickly looked at the extra map in his hand.

An old parchment, slightly burnt at the edges and looking a little worn.

The parchment is mainly brown and dark yellow in color, and you can tell at a glance that this is a hand-drawn map.

In the center of the map, a mountain is drawn in the most conspicuous position.

The mountain is surrounded by a circular river, with several stone bridge-like roads leading to the ancient tower.

However, what attracted Lin Qiye were some runes painted on the stone bridge, or some runes painted on the road. He didn't know whether it was a stone bridge or a road.

There was some text in the upper right corner next to the map, and Lin Qiye carefully identified it.

"The light of the moonlight guides us forward. Three bridges and two crossings lead us to the heart of the Styx. In the mist, we find the true meaning. Under the ruins, the answer is hidden."

What is this talking about? Lin Qiye was scratching his head. What these people like to do most is to draw a picture and then add a riddle for people to guess.

If you are afraid of being found, why don’t you just stop hiding?

Lin Qiye was no longer sleepy. He took the map and planned to discuss with everyone to see if anyone could figure out where this place was. (End of this chapter)
