[What a trap! Maybe they set this up on purpose, waiting for us to fall into their trap!]

[That’s right! There are all kinds of tricks in the ancient tomb, and it’s normal operation! Inspector Lin will definitely find a way to crack it and lead everyone to escape!]

[Tsk~ What do you know? The tomb owner had expected someone to come, and who knows where he is lying in ambush! Then he will definitely catch him in the trap!]

[Go away, go away, just guessing! If you ask me, the snake venom in Sister Na's body is most likely the key to breaking the deadlock! Maybe all this trouble is exactly what the tomb owner wants!]

[What? Didn’t Sister Na cure the snake venom? Why is it related again? Didn’t they say that the antidote can only be found deep in the Divine Palace?]

[Haha, you are so naive! The ancients had very meticulous thoughts, how can ordinary people like you and me figure it out? I think Sister Na probably has a backup plan, waiting to show her power at the critical moment!]

[Screw you! With her sickly look, it would be better to let Xingxing go! She is skilled after all, and maybe she can help Inspector Lin!]

[Get lost, who wants your arms? With Sister Mi and Tianxian here, are you still worried about not being able to break the situation? If they act cute, they will definitely charm even ghosts!]

In the live broadcast room, the crowd was in an uproar again, discussing the expedition team's experience.

Some people worried that they would be trapped in the secret room, and some speculated that it was a trap in the ancient tomb.

Many people also began to imagine the performances of the female stars, and each had an opinion on who could help Lin Qiye.

But at this moment, Lin Qiye had a serious look on his face.

With the faint light of the flashlight, he found himself trapped in a small stone chamber.

There are solid rock walls all around, and there is no other exit except for a few cracks.

"Is this a tomb?"

He muttered to himself, looking around the room.

Soon, his eyes fell on a coffin in the center.

This coffin is similar to a bronze tripod, and its surface is also covered with strange snake-like patterns, exuding a faint evil aura.

"Could it be."

Lin Qiye frowned, walked quickly to the coffin and looked at it carefully.

On the coffin lid, there was a lifelike snake head inlaid.

The scarlet eyes, the ferocious face, the wide-open mouth, revealed a wild and crazy look.

What was even more shocking was that there was a line of small blood-red characters engraved in the middle of the coffin:
"Snake blood to survive, sunlight to reappear."

Lin Qiye's eyes fixed, he pondered for a moment, then tentatively reached out his hand and gently stroked the coffin.

"Om-"

The moment his fingertips touched the snake's head, a tremendous force suddenly burst out, pushing the entire coffin lid open!
A cold breath blew in my face, mixed with the stench of dirt and mold, which was nauseating.

Lin Qiye subconsciously held his breath and stared at the open coffin vigilantly.

What's inside?
Is it another evil snake demon, or some even more terrifying existence?
In the silence, Lin Qiye frowned and was on high alert.

He slowly reached down to his waist, grasped the hilt of the ancient black gold sword, and with his right hand he took out a brand new Heavenly Master Talisman, ready to attack at any time.

Even in the depths of this isolated underground palace, he has the confidence that he can fight against any evil spirit.

After all, he has the true teachings of Maoshan and the blood of Qilin, so it is easy for him to capture demons and monsters, right?
However, when Lin Qiye looked into the coffin, he was dumbfounded.

There was nothing in there, how could there be even a trace of a corpse?
There was only a piece of yellowed parchment pressed at the bottom of the coffin, and ancient seal characters could be vaguely seen on it.

"This is."

Lin Qiye's heart moved, and he quickly reached out to take out the parchment.

With the help of the flashlight, he carefully identified the tiny characters:
“On the top of Cangwu Mountain, the red snake is causing trouble.

Poisonous blood flowed everywhere and lives were destroyed.

Only by killing the demon king can this disaster be resolved. If relatives and friends are infected with evil poison.

Only my spirit can help you heal.

Blood spilled in the snake den will cure all poisons.

Never again will there be trouble in the world."

After reading these lines, Lin Qiye couldn't help but take a breath.

It turns out that the tomb owner was a great man who exorcised demons and monsters during his lifetime!
Back then, in order to kill the snake demon king who was wreaking havoc on the world, he sacrificed his life and imprisoned his soul in this ancient tomb, just to prevent future troubles.

The curse on Sister Na was also caused by the snake venom of the demon king!
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye's hands trembled slightly and his heart was surging.

"I didn't expect that the secret of the Kirishima Shrine would be closely related to our well-being."

He muttered to himself, his eyes burning.

I never thought that this trip would allow me to help Sister Na get rid of the snake venom. So why should I hesitate?
Even if I sacrifice my soul with blood, so what?
If it can bring back the safety of my comrades, what is this price?
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye looked determined and put the parchment into his arms without hesitation.

He looked up at the top of the stone chamber, feeling extremely confident.

The companions who were separated by the landslide must be trying to rescue themselves somewhere at this moment.

Now that I have the clue, I should rescue them without hesitation.

However, where should one enter this underground palace filled with traps?
Just as Lin Qiye was deep in thought, a strange green light suddenly flashed before his eyes.

He quickly followed the light and saw a bronze mirror embedded in the rock wall on the east side of the stone chamber!
The mirror was simple and mysterious, covered with snake-like patterns, and faintly exuded a mysterious aura.

"This is."

Lin Qiye was startled and subconsciously reached out and pressed on the mirror.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his fingertips touched it, the entire bronze mirror began to vibrate violently, making banging sounds.

At the same time, the ground in the center of the stone chamber slowly collapsed, revealing a deep cave entrance.

Before Lin Qiye could think about it, he fell into this deep cave.

"what--"

Lin Qiye felt the world spinning around him, and he fell uncontrollably into darkness.

The wind whistled in his ears and the stone walls brushed past him at such a fast speed that he could hardly breathe.

"What on earth is going on? Could this mirror be..."

Countless thoughts flashed through Lin Qiye's mind, but none of them could be solved.

Seeing that the falling speed was getting faster and faster, he quickly used the spiritual power in his body to try to slow down the impact.

However, before his power could be gathered, a soft touch suddenly came from under his body.

"Hmm? Something caught me?"

Lin Qiye was very surprised and looked up quickly.

But he found himself falling on a huge spider web!
The spider silk was crystal clear and densely layered, giving off an eerie luster in the dim light.

"Oh My God"

Lin Qiye took a deep breath and looked around in disbelief.

What comes into view is a huge cave!
The walls of the cave have been polished very smoothly, with faint traces of artificial excavation visible.

The most eye-catching thing is the dense spider webs on the cave ceiling, there are more than a dozen of them!
Each spider web is extremely large, large enough to trap several adults.

What's even more horrifying is that there's a shrunken corpse hanging in the middle of the spider web. (End of this chapter)
