As if sensing his gaze, the dark red long sword suddenly made a "humming" sound, emitting a strange aura!
At the same time, a line of bloody small words appeared on the stone wall not far away:
"Do you dare to sacrifice blood to me?"

The handwriting was hideous and the air was filled with blood.

"what--"

Yang Mi screamed suddenly, her legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground.

Liu Tianxian's face turned pale and she hugged Lin Qiye's arm tightly.

"What the hell is this?!" Even Cheng Long, who is usually calm, couldn't help but be shocked.

Lin Qiye stared at the strange line of blood words with a frown, his eyes flickering slightly, as if he was thinking about something quickly.

After a moment, he turned around and stared at the people behind him, and said word by word:
"It seems that if you want to fully understand the secrets of the tomb owner, you have to make a sacrifice. And, it must be a blood sacrifice!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was horrified and their scalps went numb.

"Offer a sacrifice?" Wang Xingxing asked incredulously, "What do you mean? You can't use human blood for sacrifice, right?"

Lin Qiye slowly took out a dagger and gently slashed it across his palm.

Bright red blood oozed out and stained his fingertips.

"Is this blood going to..." Wu Jing widened his eyes, almost unable to speak.

[Oh my god! This development is too horrifying, isn't it?! Forget about the ancient alchemists, but what does blood sacrifice mean?]

[That's right! Could it be that someone is going to jump into a coffin and sacrifice himself? That scene is terrifying just thinking about it!]

[Tsk, I can tell you're ignorant! Which ancient imperial tomb didn't emphasize burying people alive with their dead? What's a mere blood donation?]

[That’s right! If Inspector Lin were to shed his skin and shed his heart’s blood into the coffin, that would be called being righteous!]

[Get lost, you are talking nonsense! Is Inspector Lin that kind of idiot? Are you kidding yourself with your own life?]

[That's not necessarily true~ If he is determined to break the curse for Sister Na, he might really do something stupid like this!]

[Bullshit! Just because that shrew Sister Na is worthy of the Seventh Master to go through fire and water for her? She is dreaming!]

[That’s right! Even if there’s a blood sacrifice, it’s not her turn! At most, she can let Sister Mi or Tianxian cut off a few drops of blood, just to repay Inspector Lin for saving her life!]

[Go away, you think your sister Mi's blood is not fishy enough, right? If Inspector Lin wanted a woman, wouldn't the Xingxing girls be vying to throw themselves into his arms?]

[Haha, you sound like you know a lot about the stars. With her small body, she will definitely be the first to faint! When that happens, she will have to be carried like a princess by Master Qi!]

Netizens were discussing the blood sacrifice theory one after another.

Some were horrified, some were eager to try, and many were worried or excited about the blood sacrifice, and talked a lot about the female stars they supported.

[That’s right! Since it has come to this, why not let Xingxing take the lead and sing a song with her heavenly voice? It is guaranteed to move the soul of the tomb owner!]

[Go away, what's the point of singing? A beauty like Sister Mi can only please the dead with her erotic dance, isn't that beautiful?]

[Get lost! Do you really think that the ancients liked this? I think it would be better to let the fairy use her charm to seduce everyone. Even the King of Hell would be bewitched by her!]

Everyone was talking at once, arguing endlessly about how to offer sacrifices.

Lin Qiye's eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation, and he looked at the bloody words and said seriously: "The blood sacrifice must be handled with caution. The reason why the tomb owner is so particular may be due to other reasons. We must not act rashly, and it is best to understand the layout of the tomb first."

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but secretly agree. So they began to carefully search every corner of the stone chamber.

Soon, a mural covered with dust and cobwebs was found on the stone wall on the west side of the tomb.

With the flickering light of the flashlight, Lin Qiye gently brushed away the dust on the screen, and his eyes suddenly focused.

On the mural, there were two strange beasts that looked like snakes but were not snakes, coiled on a huge skull.

The strange beast has a slender body covered with silver scales, and looks like a python, but its eyes reveal an evil purple light.

The most horrifying thing is the scene behind them.

There was haze everywhere and flames rising into the sky, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Countless creatures crawled at the feet of the strange beast, spitting black blood from their mouths, looking emaciated.

There was also a group of people in strange clothes waiting to be killed. Their blood formed a river and flowed into the mouth of the strange beast!
This scene is really horrifying and chilling!
"Is this a depiction of snake disasters and plagues?" Wang Xingxing asked in a lost voice, his face turning pale.

Lin Qiye did not answer immediately, but frowned and looked at the two strange beasts carefully. After a while, he murmured: "No, this is not a snake disaster, but a premeditated sacrifice!"

"Sacrifice?!" Cheng Long and Wu Jing were horrified and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that the strange beasts in this tomb are fed with living people?"

Lin Qiye nodded and explained seriously: "Look at the layout of this mural, it is clearly an organized and premeditated evil sacrifice. These two strange beasts should be ancient evil spirits such as snake demons, which can only rely on the host body on weekdays. And those who volunteered to be killed are mostly believers of the snake demon, exchanging their lives for others, and using the method of donating blood to strengthen the demon power!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present gasped and cold sweat broke out on their backs.

"So, could those two unidentified creatures have any connection with the tomb owner?" Yang Mi asked tremblingly.

"I guess the tomb owner must have been a Taoist master who exorcises snakes and demons." Lin Qiye looked at the mural and said slowly, "He once killed many followers of the snake demon and suppressed the body of the strange beast here, which calmed the catastrophe of that year."

"But." He pointed at the long sword in front of the sarcophagus, "This dark red Soul-Separating Sword must have been tempered with the blood of a living person, otherwise it wouldn't be so evil!"

"Oh my god!" Wang Xingxing couldn't help but shed tears, "How could such a cruel thing happen?"

"Don't be afraid, Xingxing." Lin Qiye patted her shoulders and comforted her, "These are things from ancient times. Our top priority now is to quickly find a way to eliminate Sister Na's abnormality. As long as we find out the origin of the evil spirit in her, I believe everything will be solved!"

After hearing this, everyone calmed down a little, regrouped, and started a new round of exploration.

[Oh my god, this plot is so exciting! I didn’t expect that this ancient tomb would hide such a horrifying secret!]

[That’s right! The scene on the mural is like something out of a horror movie! Human sacrifices and all that, it’s so scary!]

[It seems that the tomb owner is not a good person. He was able to suppress such a snake demon. His methods are very cruel!]

[Not to mention, if it weren’t for him, I’m afraid the people in ancient times would have been harmed by monsters and died without a burial place!]

[But what about the Soul-Separating Sword? It was actually made from the blood of the heart. Isn't this too evil?]

[I think it's probably related to the tomb owner's killing of demons. Maybe he killed too many people and harbored deep resentment, so even his sword has been tainted with evil spirits!]

[Oh my god, poor Xing Xing, she is crying after hearing these horrifying stories! Let Inspector Lin hug her and comfort her!]

[That’s right, Sister Mi and Tianxian, don’t just stand there! This is a great opportunity to show off, why don’t you hurry up and show your affection?]

In the live broadcast room, a group of people who like to watch the fun and not mind the trouble, were very excited about the new plot and even commented on the performances of several female stars. (End of this chapter)
