[Shit! This development is quite exciting! It looks like the expedition team is going to encounter an accident!]
[What kind of unexpected event is this? Isn't it just a broken door? Is it something that Inspector Lin can't handle?]
[That’s right! These traps are nothing but child’s play in front of the Maoshan Taoist magic!]
[Tsk, what do you know? This Kirishima Shrine is very strange. Who knows what's behind the door? What if there's real danger?]
[It’s good to be in danger! This way, Inspector Lin can show his heroic qualities, and save a few delicate goddesses at the same time. How cool!]
[Come on, with Tianxian and Yang Mi's little courage, they would have probably peed their pants out of fear! Maybe they are hugging Inspector Lin's thigh right now!]
[If Yang Mi hugged my thighs, I would be a romantic ghost! But unfortunately, she doesn't like me and only gives face to Inspector Lin!]
[Get lost! With your character, how can Yang Mi look down upon you? Just dream on!]
[That’s right! But to be honest, our Xingxing girl is as calm as ever. It seems she is quite courageous!]
[Of course not! I am a real warrior, different from the immortals! Maybe I can turn the tide at the critical moment!]
In the live broadcast room, a group of onlookers were in an uproar again, discussing the strange scene in front of them.
Some people were worried that the expedition team might encounter an accident, while others were full of confidence in Lin Qiye.
There are even some narcissistic guys who fantasize about their interactions with goddesses and imagine beautiful scenes.
However, no one expected that at this instant, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from behind the stone door and rushed towards Lin Qiye!
"Be careful!"
Xingxing screamed and instinctively pushed Lin Qiye away.
A flash of cold light passed by, and Lin Qiye felt his neck go cold. He reached out and touched it, only to see blood dripping!
"Seven nights!"
Sister Na was the first to react and quickly stepped forward to check his injuries.
Fortunately, it was just a flesh wound and nothing serious.
At this time, the others also came to their senses and surrounded them.
"Qiye, are you okay?" Wu Jing asked nervously.
"I'm fine." Lin Qiye waved his hands, his eyes still fixed on the front, "But where did that sneak attacker go?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
Following Lin Qiye's gaze, I saw that it was pitch black behind the stone door. Where was the human figure?
"Strange, there was clearly a dark shadow rushing out just now, how come it disappeared in an instant?" Cheng Long scratched his head, looking suspicious.
Xingxing looked solemn and murmured, "Could it be some mechanism in this temple? Or, the guardian deity?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's faces changed.
This is bad. We were attacked not long after entering. It seems that this Kirishima Shrine is really extraordinary!
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his eyes sharp, and walked quickly to the stone gate.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." He said in a deep voice, "Whether it's a mechanism or a guardian, we have to find out. Backing down is not the style of a warrior!"
After saying that, he stepped into the door first and gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Seeing this, Sister Na followed without saying a word.
Xingxing also gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
Seeing this, the others had no choice but to bite the bullet and file in. However, when they entered the stone gate, they found that the view in front of them was suddenly clear.
With the help of the flashlight, I could see that there was a huge circular hall around me.
In the middle of the hall, there is a tall bronze tripod. The body of the tripod is covered with ancient and mysterious inscriptions, emitting a faint luster in the dim light.
Surrounding the bronze tripod are dozens of stone pillars.
Each stone pillar is carved with a lifelike python totem, with the snake head raised high, teeth bared, and looks vivid and lifelike.
"This, this is."
Yang Mi took a deep breath and almost screamed.
"I didn't expect that there is such a different world inside the Wu Island Temple!" The fairy was also dumbfounded, completely shocked by the scene before her.
Lin Qiye looked around cautiously, his brows furrowed.
He walked quickly to the bronze tripod and carefully examined the inscription on it.
I saw that the patterns were mysterious and complex, and they exuded a solemn and murderous aura, which did not seem like ordinary objects.
"These snake-shaped inscriptions are exactly the same as the murals in the corridor before." Lin Qiye muttered to himself, "It seems that this bronze tripod should play an important role in the ancient snake tribe's sacrifices."
Wu Jing also walked forward curiously, reached out and touched the wall of the tripod, and then shuddered at the cold touch.
"This, this thing can't be used to cook people, right?" He laughed awkwardly, but there was a hint of guilt in his tone.
Hearing this, Sister Na rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "It's already this hour, and you're still in the mood to joke? The most urgent thing now is to figure out the purpose of this tripod. In case there's any danger later, we can prepare in advance."
Cheng Long nodded and agreed: "Sister Na is right. Qiye, can you take a closer look? Is there any secret passage hidden in this bronze tripod?"
Xingxing also looked solemn, and whispered: "There are also these snake-shaped stone pillars, which always feel a little strange. Could it be related to the mechanism?"
Faced with everyone's speculation, Lin Qiye remained calm.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked the wall of the tripod, his eyes wandering among the inscriptions, as if trying to comprehend some mystery.
After a while, he said, "From the structure of these patterns, they should be some kind of ancient symbols, specially used to suppress evil spirits. But they are very old and many of them are incomplete, so it is difficult to decipher them all at the moment."
As he spoke, he walked to a stone pillar and carefully examined the carving of a snake head.
"As for these snake-shaped stone pillars, they don't look like the components of some kind of mechanism, but rather they have the meaning of warding off evil spirits. You see, the eyes of each snake are inlaid with jade, which is crystal clear and cannot be compared with ordinary stones. In ancient times, this was often regarded as the most precious evil-warding object."
After hearing this, everyone looked carefully and found that the eyes of each stone snake were glowing with a faint green light.
"What a beautiful jadeite!" The fairy couldn't help but exclaim.
Yang Mi's eyes lit up as well, and she whispered, "If we can get a few back, we'll be rich."
However, the next second, she was so frightened by Lin Qiye's glare that she shrank her head back.
"How can we move things in the ancient tomb casually?" Lin Qiye said seriously, "Besides, the purpose of our operation this time is to find out the truth and help Sister Na get rid of the snake venom, not to steal money and kill people. Everyone, please be alert and be on guard against danger at all times!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately wilted like eggplants hit by frost and dared not say anything anymore.
Sister Na looked at Lin Qiye gratefully, with a bitter smile on her face. (End of this chapter)
