The stone chamber was silent for a moment, with only the sound of muffled footsteps and the rustling of clothes.

At this moment, Yang Mi, who had been silent all this time, suddenly screamed, "Ah! Look over there!"

When everyone heard the sound and looked, they saw that the patterns on the stone wall in the corner of the hall were faintly glowing!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an extremely mysterious totem.

There are countless strange symbols circling and interweaving in the totem, which seem to indicate some profound information.

The most eye-catching thing is the bright moon carved in the middle of the totem.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, casting a faint light, which echoes the jade wall hanging on the top of the coffin!
"Eh? Jade Wall? Could this be it?"

Lin Qiye's eyes focused and he stepped forward quickly.

I saw that the jade wall was green all over and cold to the touch.

There seemed to be a line of obscure ancient text etched on it, vaguely arranged in a crescent shape.

Cheng Long looked at it for a while, frowned and said: "These characters seem to be the characters of the ancient gods."

He paused, then said hesitantly, "Unfortunately, it's been a long time, and most of them have become blurry and difficult to identify."

"Don't worry."

An spoke at the right time, walked slowly to Lin Qiye's side, and looked at the jade wall carefully.

After a long while, he finally chanted a few words:
"The Key. of Moon Shadow."

"That's all?" Yang Mi asked somewhat disappointedly.

However, the old man's reaction was very excited: "Key! This must be the key to open the mechanism!"

"Mechanism? What mechanism?" Wu Jing was a little confused.

Lin Qiye had already taken the lead and took the jade wall down from the wall.

The back of the jade wall was also covered with mysterious patterns.

"These patterns are exactly the same as those on the sarcophagus!" Cheng Long exclaimed.

An nodded and said, "It seems that this jade wall is undoubtedly the key to open the sarcophagus!"

He handed the jade wall to Lin Qiye and said firmly, "My friend, it's up to you from now on!"

Lin Qiye understood and took the jade wall solemnly.

He walked to the sarcophagus, took a deep breath, and slowly inserted the jade wall into the groove of the coffin lid.

With a click, the jade wall and the groove fit perfectly.

The next moment, the entire sarcophagus shook violently!
Along with a rumbling sound, the coffin lid slowly moved away, revealing a deep hole!

"Success!" Everyone exclaimed almost at the same time.

However, the next second, a strange green smoke gushed out from the cave entrance, carrying with it a disgusting stench, instantly enveloping the entire tomb!
"Oh no! It's a trap!" Lin Qiye's face changed drastically and he shouted harshly.

But it was too late.

The invisible suction force surged like a tide, and it was about to sweep everyone into the cave!
In the live broadcast room, countless viewers were already scared out of their wits after witnessing this thrilling scene.

"Fuck! Isn't this too exciting? As soon as the sarcophagus was opened, there was strange green smoke. I think this is going to be a big deal!"

"That's right! The suction force is too terrible. Everyone is about to be sucked in in an instant. Is there any way for people to survive?"

"It's over, it's over. I'm afraid they're going to die in there this time. There are too many traps in this ancient tomb. It's impossible to guard against them!"

"Don't panic, Lin Qiye is here. Look how fast he reacts, he might have come up with a solution by now."

"That's right, our Seventh Brother has Qilin bloodline, and the demonic energy can't do anything to him!"

"But what about the others? Yang Mi, Fairy Liu and the others are just ordinary people. What if something goes wrong?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Good luck will come to you. Besides, there is that An Ye who is protecting you. What can happen?"

"If you ask me, this journey of danger is not in vain. Maybe after passing this level, we will be close to the finale!"

"Yes, yes, yes! What if the legendary demon-refining cauldron is hidden in this coffin? Then Lin Qiye and the others will have made a great contribution!" There was a lot of discussion at the moment.

Everyone was worried about the expedition team and curious about what would happen next.

"If it were me, I would definitely rush over and hug Mimi tightly and protect her in my arms."

"Come on, with your small body, you can't even protect yourself, how can you expect to protect others?"

"Tsk, that's better than some people who only talk big. When the crisis comes, how many people can rush to the front?"

"That's right. A real man should prove himself with his actions. If I were there, I would have jumped in front of Fairy Liu!"

"Hahahahaha. Jump? Brother, are you planning to jump the person directly into the coffin?"

"Stop talking, stop talking. If you keep on saying that, the girl will be drowned by your flattery. Let's just watch the live broadcast. This is a critical moment!"

But at this time the tomb was filled with smoke, and everyone was staggering, in imminent danger.

Lin Qiye held his breath and shouted: "Hold my hands tightly, don't let go! I'm here, nothing will happen to you!"

As he spoke, he activated the Qilin bloodline, and a sense of righteousness burst out from his body.

In an instant, golden light appeared and dispelled all the evil spirits.

Even so, the strange suction was still getting stronger and stronger, and it was about to suck everyone into the cave.

In a hurry, Lin Qiye suddenly grabbed Yang Mi beside him and held her in his arms.

Yang Mi exclaimed, her pretty face blushing and her heart pounding.

Even though the situation was dangerous, how could she not be overwhelmed with emotion when Lin Qiye held her in his arms like this?
Liu Xiannv, who was standing by, looked envious and secretly hated herself for being a little slow to react.

But the next moment, she didn't care about much else and could only hold Lin Qiye's waist tightly, not daring to let go.

Seeing this, Wu Jing and others hurriedly gathered around and surrounded Lin Qiye.

Everyone held hands, stood shoulder to shoulder, and formed a rope, and only then could they barely resist the powerful suction.

The dark old man displayed his magical powers and recited a spell quickly.

He was surrounded by purple air, and a protective shield formed out of thin air, covering everyone.

In an instant, the evil wind stopped and the smoke dissipated.

The terrifying suction force also disappeared.

"What a powerful magic!"

Everyone was amazed and gained a new understanding of the old senior's cultivation.

An looked solemn and didn't say much. He just walked quickly to the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

Lin Qiye understood and followed.

The cave was pitch black and bottomless, and it emitted an eerie and foul odor.

If it weren't for the dark protective shield, everyone would have been corroded by the evil spirit long ago.

"Senior, what is in this cave?" Lin Qiye couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say." An shook his head. "The ancestors of Yueying have always been good at setting up strange gates and escaping traps. I'm afraid the mystery in this cave is not so easy to understand."

He paused, and then said, "However, judging by the intensity of this demonic energy, the demon refining cauldron is most likely at the bottom of the cave. If we can find it, perhaps all the mysteries can be solved."

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go down and take a look!" Wu Jing couldn't hold back and was about to jump into the cave.

"Wait!" Lin Qiye grabbed him and said, "This cave is bottomless. You and I have the Qilin bloodline to protect us, but it would be too risky for others to go down rashly."

He looked around at everyone and said slowly: "How about this, I and the senior go down first to find out what's going on. The rest of you stay up there, so if anything unexpected happens, we can take care of each other."

As he said this, he handed the long knife in his hand to Cheng Long and looked at him meaningfully. (End of this chapter)
