Lin Qiye looked intently, and saw that there were hundreds of huge bats!
Each one was as big as a fist, pitch black, with eyes spitting fire, and exuding an evil aura!
What's even more terrifying is that they have a single horn on their heads, which flashes with a weird luster!
"The Sky-Slaying Bat King! The legendary demon beast!" He secretly knew that these were the ones he used to guard the gate, and he gasped when he saw the number of them.

His face changed and he said sternly: "These evil creatures are only kept at home to prevent night burglaries! Everyone be careful, don't let them get close!"

Lin Qiye turned his palm over, and a few more talismans appeared in his hand.

The talisman ignited without fire, condensed into a ball of lightning, and struck the bats head-on!
With a loud bang, countless bats instantly turned into ashes!
However, more monsters came one after another, rushing towards this side in an overwhelming manner!
Liu Tianxian and Yang Mi were so frightened that they retreated back and forth.

Lin Qiye felt anxious.

"Everyone stand back, let me stop these beasts!"

He shook the ancient black-gold sword in his hand, and it turned into thousands of sword shadows, like a violent storm, surrounding the bat group!
For a moment, blood filled the sky.

Lin Qiye used all his skills, and under the flash of swords and shadows, the bats were defeated one after another.

An Ye and Lin Qiye cooperated well and gradually turned the tide of the battle.

Finally, amidst waves of shrill howls, the monsters were routed and scattered like birds and beasts!
Lin Qiye sheathed his sword, his face looking slightly pale.

The series of battles have left him physically exhausted.

Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian hurried forward to support him and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Is it serious?"

Lin Qiye shook his head and gave them a comforting smile.

However, his eyes were fixed on the direction where the bats were fleeing.

The bats fled in panic, obviously extremely frightened.

Lin Qiye frowned, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

Normally, these evil creatures, after being severely injured, should have scattered and fled. But now they gathered in a group and rushed in one direction without caring about their lives. This was too abnormal.

"Are they going out to look for food? Or is there something calling them?"

He muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Qiye, have you discovered anything?" An asked, his eyes looking into the distance.

Lin Qiye nodded slowly: "Senior, your prediction is correct. Judging from the reactions of these monsters, I'm afraid there will be even greater troubles waiting for us ahead."

He turned to the others and said, "Everyone be careful and don't let your guard down. Stay alert at all times and report any abnormalities immediately."

Everyone couldn't help but get nervous when they heard this.

Although the group of bat kings just now were ferocious, they were not too difficult to deal with with the combined efforts of Lin Qiye and An.

But the unknown ahead is the most frightening.

Especially Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian, their beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety.

“Qi Ye, why don’t we retreat first? Who knows what’s lying in ambush here.” Yang Mi advised in a low voice, unable to hide her worry in her tone.

Lin Qiye just smiled and held her hand with his backhand: "Sister Mi, don't be afraid. I'm here and nothing will happen to you."

The call of "Sister Mi" made Yang Mifang's heart beat wildly.

Even though it's dangerous, I might be fighting side by side with my beloved, so what is there to be afraid of?
On the other side, Liu Tianxian quietly moved to Lin Qiye's side and said softly, "Qiye, I'll go with you. With me to take care of you, you can rest assured."

His words were filled with a firmness that could not be refused.

Lin Qiye was stunned at first, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You guys, please don't embarrass me. It's important to find the secret right now, how can I care about other things?"

Having said that, there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes.

These two delicate girls, one is as gentle as water, and the other is as heroic as a hero.

It is really touching that he still cares about his own safety in such a dangerous moment.
"Okay, stop talking. The most urgent thing right now is to hurry on. Time is life, and we can't afford to waste it."

After saying that, Lin Qiye strode forward and headed deeper into the forest again.

Yang Mi and Liu Tianxian could only look at each other in silence and follow silently.

[What? Inspector Lin is going to act alone again? Isn't this too exciting?]

[That’s right! Knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, but still going there, you are really risking your life!]

[Tsk! What's the big deal? Our Seventh Master is extremely brave and fearless! Aren't mere monsters and demons easy to capture?]

[That’s right! With this great god protecting me, what else can I worry about? No matter how dangerous the situation is, I can be sure that I can turn it into a safe situation!]

[Haha, you guys are so naive! I don't think this is that simple. There may be many traps ahead. Your life may be in danger at any time!]

[Go away! You’re the only one who understands? Inspector Lin has thousands and thousands of devoted fans who are worried about him, how can he just die like that? Besides, if something really happened, wouldn’t Sister Mi be heartbroken?]

[That’s right! If I were Lin Qiye, I would definitely stay in the arms of the two girls and not let go! No matter what kind of monsters and ghosts they are, I will just hold them tight!]

[Come on, you? Why don’t you take a piss and look in the mirror? What kind of person is this? If Sister Mi falls in love with you, I will eat the keyboard right there!]

[Tsk! In terms of ability and courage, I will teach you a lesson in every minute! If we really fight, I guarantee you won’t even have a chance to cry!]

[Hahahahahahaha, you are awesome! You still want to compete with Inspector Lin? He is the chosen one of heaven, destined to be loved by millions! Is it worth it for him to compete with you for a woman?]

In the live broadcast room, the audience chatted one after another, making the atmosphere very hot.

On the expedition team's side, Lin Qiye was already moving deeper and deeper in the direction indicated by the mysterious map.

The road became more rugged and the terrain more complex.

The dense forest is full of luxuriant branches and leaves, intertwined with each other, blocking out the sun.

It seemed as if monsters and demons would jump out from the shadows at any time.

"Be careful!" Cheng Long suddenly exclaimed.

He tripped and kicked a sudden rock.

Lin Qiye took a closer look and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

It was clearly an ancient stone tablet lying on the ground, covered with moss, almost blending in with the surrounding environment.

If someone hadn't kicked it accidentally, I'm afraid no one would have noticed.

"Strange, how could this stone tablet fall here?" he muttered to himself, and hurried forward to check.

Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, one can vaguely make out a few lines of incomplete ancient text engraved on it.

"The phoenix roosts on the wutong tree, and the phoenix rests on the jujube branch." Lin Qiye frowned and identified carefully.

"It's gold and silver hairpins. They're all over my hair."

An suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrank: "Isn't this the ballad of the gravekeeper of the imperial mausoleum in the ancient legend?"

"Imperial Tomb?"

When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.

"Are we already close to the royal mausoleum in the west?" Cheng Long asked stutteringly.

Lin Qiye did not answer directly, but reached out and gently stroked the body of the stele, and suddenly said: "I understand! This stone stele must have been specially erected by the ancient gravekeepers to prevent tomb robbers!" (End of this chapter)
