[That’s right! Although Inspector Lin looks gentle and polite, he is braver than anyone else at the critical moment! This time he blocked the arrow and dripped blood, he is so handsome!]

[How handsome! Isn't it just to please those delicate girls? If I were Sister Mi, I would have thrown myself on him shamelessly!]

[Haha, you? You won’t get the chance even if you reincarnate for ten lifetimes! You’d better hold on to Miss Xingxing’s thighs tightly, maybe you can get some benefits!]

[Get lost, who wants your little glitter? Our celestial being is a real beauty, why would she need to curry favor with anyone?]

[Hahaha, I am dying of laughter! With the courage of a fairy, her legs become weak even after entering a cave. She still wants to compete with Inspector Lin? Dream on!]

[Go away, you are just trying to sow discord! We are talking about serious matters now, can you please be quiet for a while? Hurry up and keep an eye on the live broadcast, don’t miss any exciting shots again!]

In the live broadcast room, the crowd was talking one after another, and the topic shifted from the layout of the shrine to the female star.

Some people praised Lin Qiye's bravery, while others commented on the performances of several female stars.

At this time, the expedition team had gradually sunk into the depths of the underground palace.

With the flickering light of the flashlight, everyone found themselves in a long and narrow corridor.

The walls on both sides of the corridor are covered with mottled murals, which seem to be telling some ancient legend.

"Huh? I seem to have seen this picture somewhere before?" Xingxing looked at the patterns thoughtfully.

On the mural, a mysterious man wearing snake skin and with two horns on his head was slaughtering captives on a stone platform. The whole place was covered in blood and looked bright red.

Behind him stands a huge statue of a snake god, lifelike with bared fangs and claws.

Lin Qiye frowned slightly and murmured, "This should be a sacrificial scene from ancient times. The shape of the snake statue is exactly the same as the stone sculpture outside. It is probably the guardian of the Wudao Shrine."

Hearing this, Sister Na couldn't help but gasp: "Oh my God, they are so cruel to kill people for sacrifice? Those captives are all alive."

"In ancient times, all things had spirits." Lin Qiye sighed and explained, "People's reverence for the gods is often beyond imagination. If you can offer blood to gain their protection, what does a mere life mean?"

Everyone was horrified after hearing these words.

It is hard to imagine that in that era of the survival of the fittest, there was such a barbaric and cruel way of sacrifice.

What is most shocking is the history behind the Kirishima Shrine, which seems to be closely related to them!
"We have to hurry up." Lin Qiye said in a deep voice, "The information revealed by these murals may be related to the snake venom in Sister Na's body. Perhaps, only in the deepest part of the temple can we find the final answer."

After saying this, he walked forward and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

Sister Na clenched her fists, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"let's go!"

She hurried after him without further hesitation.

The others looked at each other, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow closely.

The group walked deeper and deeper along the corridor.

The air around me became increasingly colder, and I could almost smell a hint of mold with every breath I took.

From time to time, my feet stepped on gravel, making a "crunching" sound that echoed in the silence, which was particularly creepy.

"How long will it take to walk through this damn place?" Wu Jing muttered impatiently.

Cheng Long rolled his eyes at him: "That's all your perseverance? You can't handle it after just this little while? I think you should go back and take a rest, so as not to hold everyone back later!"

"What did you say?!" Wu Jing suddenly got angry, "Who is holding back? If you dare, let's fight. Let's see who collapses first!"

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Lin Qiye quickly turned around and stopped them.

"Can you all be quiet for a while?" He said in a serious tone, "It's not like the outside world here. If you make the slightest mistake, you'll fall into an abyss! Don't you think it's not chaotic enough?" After hearing this, Wu Jing and Cheng Long shut up and dared not say anything more.

Yang Mi and Tian Xian standing by were also very nervous and didn't even dare to breathe.

Lin Qiye led the group and continued to go deeper into the underground palace.

The corridor became narrower and narrower, and the air became increasingly stuffy, as if a huge weight was pressing on the chest, making it hard to breathe.

"No, I can't do it anymore." Tianxian's legs were sore and she was about to collapse on the ground. "Brother Qiye, let's take a break. I really can't walk anymore."

Yang Mi was also sweating profusely and panting: "That's right, brother Qiye, if you keep going like this, there's no telling when it will end."

Seeing the two women being so exhausted, Lin Qiye felt distressed.

But retreating is impossible now. Only by gritting our teeth and moving forward can we find the ultimate truth.

"Hold on a little longer." He patted their shoulders soothingly, "We should be almost there. Then, we can take a good rest."

Hearing this, Xingxing also comforted him: "Sister Mi, Tianxian, don't be discouraged. You have done a good job. Just hold on a little longer and we will be able to get out."

Na Jie nodded and agreed: "That's right, at this point, we can't give up halfway. Think about your fans who are still waiting outside, don't let them down."

With this encouragement, Yang Mi and Tian Xian regained their spirits and managed to stand up straight.

"Let's go, I'm fine." Tianxian forced a smile at Lin Qiye, "With Brother Qiye protecting us, what are we afraid of?"

Yang Mi also said with all her might: "That's right, it's just a hole, isn't it easy to find? Let's wait and see!"

Lin Qiye nodded with satisfaction, turned around and continued moving forward.

But after walking a few steps, suddenly——

"Boom!"

With a muffled sound, the entire corridor began to shake violently!
The towering stone walls cracked and gusts of dust blew in, making people cough.

"What, what's going on?!" Wu Jing was panicked and stepped back repeatedly.

"Earthquake?" Cheng Long was also confused and at a loss.

At this split second, Lin Qiye was quick-witted and pulled the person next to him into his arms.

"Be careful!"

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud roar above his head, and countless pieces of gravel and sand fell down like raindrops.

The corridor collapsed in an instant, turning into a chaotic ruin.

For a moment, the dust was flying so high that people couldn't open their eyes.

When the smoke and dust cleared, Lin Qiye had already been separated from the group and disappeared.

[Fuck! This development is too exciting, isn’t it?! The tunnel collapsed without a second thought, it’s too scary!]

[Isn’t it? The expedition team has all become wandering ghosts! Can they still get out alive?]

[Don't talk nonsense! With Inspector Lin protecting us, no matter how difficult it is, it won't be a problem! I think they are probably trapped in a secret room.]

[Secret room? What else could be hidden in this hole? Could it be another trap?] (End of this chapter)
