Surrounding the sarcophagus are twelve strangely shaped stone statues.

Each stone statue has a green face and fangs, and looks ferocious and terrifying, as if it would come alive at any time.

"The layout here is a bit weird," Cheng Long muttered to himself and swallowed nervously.

"Looking at this situation, it must be the tomb of the ancestors of Yueying Nation."

The old man said solemnly, and after looking around, he added: "The stone statues here are probably designed to protect the coffin. Don't act rashly, lest you trigger some mechanism."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in unison.

In a place like this, no one dares to be careless.

"Senior, could the legendary demon-refining cauldron be hidden in this sarcophagus?" Yang Mi asked cautiously.

The old man shook his head and said, "I can't be sure. However, since its aura is so strong, it is probably not far from us. We, the Shadow Clan, are an exiled clan. According to clan rules, we can't even have our own names. As the last person in my clan, I named myself 'Dark'"

He paused, and then said, "Let's not talk about this now. The most urgent thing now is to find a way out. Everyone must search carefully and don't miss any clues."

As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened!
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the lid of the sarcophagus, which had been tightly closed, moved strangely!
And those twelve stone statues even made a "creaking" sound of bones rubbing against each other, as if they were coming to life!
Everyone changed color and subconsciously took a defensive stance.

"Be careful! Something's happening!"

Lin Qiye shouted loudly, drew out his long sword first, and took a posture to meet the enemy.

Before he finished his words, a black shadow suddenly shot out from the sarcophagus at a speed as fast as lightning!

Before anyone could react, a dark shadow had already appeared before their eyes!
Looking closely, it turned out to be a huge bat with a pitch-black body and wings as sharp as knives!
The bat had fierce eyes, exposed fangs, and exuded a sinister ghostly aura.

What’s even more horrifying is that it has three heads on its back, all with ferocious faces and roaring one after another!

"What the hell?!" someone screamed in horror.

Lin Qiye frowned and shouted, "Heavenly Evil Bat King! This is a demon beast from ancient times, extremely poisonous! Everyone, be careful!"

Before he finished his words, the bat swooped down and grabbed Lin Qiye by the head!
The sharp claws gleamed coldly in the dim light, looking awe-inspiring!

Lin Qiye acted quickly and dodged, barely avoiding the fatal blow.

At the same time, he slashed the bat's throat with his backhand!

With a crisp "clang" sound, the blade and the sharp claws collided fiercely, sparks flying everywhere.

This time, no one benefited.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, several black shadows flew out from the depths of the hall!

Upon closer inspection, they saw a dozen evil bats as big as the Bat King, screaming and rushing towards the crowd!

In an instant, the hall was filled with sounds of fighting and howling.

At the same time, the audience in the live broadcast room had already exploded:

"Holy shit! Where did this thing come from? It's too scary!"

"Oh my god, have Lin Qiye and the others encountered a ghost? This is not an adventure, this is suicide!"

“Don’t panic! Lin Qiye has Qilin bloodline, a mere monster can’t do anything to him!”

"That's right! Look at his skills, it's amazing! How can ordinary people resist him?"

"But what about the others? Yang Mi and the others are just ordinary people. What if something goes wrong?" "Don't talk nonsense! Good things will happen to good people. Besides, there is that old senior who is protecting us. What can happen?"

The audience was talking one after another, discussing the thrilling scene before their eyes.

At this time, the battle in the tomb was becoming more and more intense!
The evil bats rushed towards the crowd as if they were risking their lives.

Wherever the sharp claws passed, blood splattered and wailing was heard.

What’s even more terrifying is that those who were scratched by the evil bats died from the poison in an instant!
"Oh no! The poison of these monsters is too strong! If this continues, we will all die here!" Wu Jing shouted anxiously while waving his sword to resist.

Lin Qiye also secretly thought that something was wrong.

At this rate, let alone finding the mechanism in the tomb, I’m afraid I might even lose my life here!
In a moment of urgency, he suddenly had an idea and shouted to the old man beside him: "Senior, do you have a magic weapon to ward off demons and exorcise evil spirits? Take it out and help me!"

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized: "Yes! I happen to have a fragment of the Nine Dragon Jade Wall, which is a magical tool used in ancient times to exorcise demons and ward off evil spirits!"

As he spoke, he took out a emerald green jade pendant and held it reverently in front of his chest with both hands.

I just heard him recite the spell quickly, and the jade wall suddenly shone with dazzling light!

Sacred beams of light burst out from the jade wall, instantly filling the entire tomb.

Countless runes flashed in the light column, colliding violently with those vicious bats.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and the metal and stone opened!

In the face of that mysterious and sacred power, those evil creatures let out miserable roars, turned into a wisp of black smoke, and disappeared into thin air!

Even the ferocious Bat King screamed under the holy light, and finally exploded with a bang, turning into fragments all over the sky!

This magical scene was also seen by the audience through live broadcast:
"Fuck! This old senior actually has such a magical skill? That piece of broken jade is so powerful?"

"Oh my god! A thousand-year-old evil bat is destroyed just like that! So cool!"

"It is indeed an ancient artifact! With such great magical power, if it were anyone else, wouldn't they be eaten alive by the evil bats?"

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief! With this great god in charge, what's left to worry about in terms of exploration?"

"That's right! What is there to be afraid of next? With this senior's strength, he can find the Demon Refining Cauldron in a minute and eliminate it in one fell swoop!"

For a while, the barrage of comments was filled with joy and excitement in the live broadcast room, and everyone was impressed by the old man's magical skills.

Inside the tomb, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The monsters that were so ferocious just now have now turned into debris on the ground and are silent.

"Thank you for saving my life! If you hadn't helped me in time, I'm afraid we, the younger generation, would have died here!" Lin Qiye bowed his hands to express his gratitude and said sincerely.

An waved his hand and smiled modestly, "How can that be true? We are all in the same boat to find the truth, and this is my duty. But you, my friend, are the backbone of this team."

“Senior, you are too kind.” Lin Qiye shook his head quickly, and then changed the subject: “The aura of the Bat King was so strong just now, it must have been affected by the Demon Refining Cauldron.”

"In my opinion, the evil spirit in the cauldron must not have dissipated completely. We must find out its whereabouts as soon as possible and eradicate it completely to prevent future troubles!"

"That makes sense!" The old man nodded in agreement and said to the others, "Don't be careless, everyone. Be vigilant. Go and search carefully to see if you can find any clues."

Upon receiving the order, everyone immediately dispersed.

With the previous lesson, everyone was extra careful this time. (End of this chapter)
