[Tsk tsk tsk, Inspector Lin is in trouble? Is there any conspiracy behind this hole? 】
[Oh my god! What the hell is that corpse in the cave? Could it be the unlucky person from the previous expedition?]
[Maybe it was a tomb robber from the past! I heard that Kirishima Shrine is a famous place for treasures! ]
[Get lost! Inspector Lin is a wise and brave man, how can those thieves compare to him? I think this corpse was most likely killed by a snake demon! ]
[Tsk, you're the only one who knows more! No matter how powerful a snake demon is, it can't weave a web! There must be some evil trick going on!]
[Evil ways? Haha, in front of Maoshan Taoism, that's nothing! Inspector Lin is a true Taoist! With him around, demons and ghosts must bow down obediently, right? ]
[That’s right, with the Qilin bloodline and the black gold ancient sword at hand, can’t I just chop down small monsters like me? ]
In the live broadcast room, the audience was talking about Lin Qiye's experience and were extremely curious about the ultimate secret of this mysterious ancient tomb.
At this moment, Lin Qiye, who was surrounded by spider webs, had a solemn expression on his face.
With the help of the faint light of the flashlight, he carefully looked at the situation in front of him, trying to find some clues from the spider webs and corpses.
"Strange, this corpse looks like it has been dead for a long time, but the clothes on its body are well preserved and not decayed."
Lin Qiye muttered to himself, his brows furrowed.
He looked around, his eyes fell on the strange patterns on the cave wall, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to solve the problem at hand first.
Lin Qiye did what he said. He held his breath and focused, activating the spiritual power in his body.
I thought I would be suppressed like an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that because of the rewards from the system, I could actually use some of my originally suppressed strength.
Although relying on the system like this, there is suspicion of cheating.
But who says the rules here can’t restrict the system?
What's wrong with cheating? If you have the ability, you can do it too!
I saw a light blue light covering his body, which actually shattered the sticky spider silk into pieces!
As the restraints were lifted, an even stronger stench of decay wafted into the air, making people feel nauseous.
Obviously, those spider webs blocked a lot of air circulation, which made the smell here so bad.
Lin Qiye endured the discomfort and relied on the endless spiritual power in his body to gradually break free from the spider web.
“Finally it came out.”
He let out a long breath and looked up at the top of the cave.
Judging from the layout of these spider webs, there seems to be some mystery behind them.
If a partner who has been separated from the outside world also falls into a similar trap, how can he save himself?
Thinking of this, Lin Qiye couldn't help but feel anxious.
But reason told him that rash action would only backfire.
The top priority at the moment is to find out the origins of this cave as soon as possible and find a breakthrough.
So he walked quickly to the hanging corpse and examined it carefully.
With the help of a flashlight, I saw that the man was wearing a long gown with a simple style and exquisite workmanship, which was clearly made of the finest silk.
And on the chest, there is a bronze token, which faintly reveals the vicissitudes of time.
"With this attire, could it be that he is an ancient alchemist?"
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the inscription on the token.
I saw a strange snake totem carved on it, which was exactly the same as the stone carvings in the outside world.
He reached out and picked up the token, rubbing it lightly with his fingertips, only to feel a chill coming over him, making his scalp numb.
"There's something strange indeed." Lin Qiye took a deep breath and put the token in his arms.
He then searched the body again but found nothing.
Seeing that the clue was interrupted, he did not get discouraged, but turned and walked towards the wall of the cave.
Under the illumination of the flashlight, one can see that the stone wall is covered with densely packed inscriptions, which are intricate and mysterious.
The handwriting was elegant, the strokes were sharp, and there was a hint of solemnity.
Lin Qiye's eyes fixed, as if he had seen something.
He came closer and carefully read the words:
"Curse of the Sky-Burning and Earth-Devouring Snake King"
The broken words escaped his lips, his voice low and hoarse.
After a while, Lin Qiye murmured: "So that's how it is. This is where King Yu killed the Snake King. But... there seems to be some unknown secret hidden in it."
[No way? This Inspector Lin is too amazing. He can even understand this kind of ghostly drawing? Is he really not a big shot in the archaeology world?]
[That’s right! Didn’t he notice that there was something strange about this cave at first glance? If it were us, we would have been wasting our time!]
[Tsk, what's so great about that? Maybe they memorized the script in advance and are just playing tricks now!]
[Haha, you are the only one who knows the most! If Inspector Lin was that kind of person, why would he go to such great lengths to drill this hole? It's obvious that he came prepared!]
[That’s right! Besides, the way he broke the net with his bare hands just now was so neat and tidy! It’s obvious that he’s been in the battlefield for a long time!]
[You speak as if you know everything! I think he is relying on those props to scare us! If you leave him with nothing, he will be scared as a dog!]
[Get lost! I can still defeat those monsters with my bare hands! With the Qilin bloodline in hand, who can compete with me?]
[Bloodline bullshit! If our Xingxing sister were here, she would make you faint with just one song "Too Bright Above"! Then you would have to kneel down and call her goddess!]
[Go away, go away, you are just talking nonsense! Why are you talking about singing at this critical moment? Can't you see that Inspector Lin is trying to figure out the secret on the wall?]
[Isn't this because I'm afraid you guys will be led astray? What if a big monster pops out from the wall? I'll see how you guys can still show off!]
[Tsk, what's there to be afraid of? With the Maoshan talisman on hand, all demons and monsters will bow down to you. Besides, with Inspector Lin's physique, just a few swings would be enough to beat up those little demons!]
[You're the only one who drinks a pot! Who wants to be friends with a monster?]
The crowd was talking about Lin Qiye's miraculous performance.
Some people applauded, some sneered, and some were worried, fearing that something unbelievable would pop up in the next second.
At this time, Lin Qiye had already begun trying to decipher those mysterious inscriptions.
"If this record is about the process of King Yu killing the Snake King, then could the snake venom in Sister Na's body also be related to this incident?"
As he thought about it, he carefully compared the snake symbol on the wall, trying to find some clues.
Soon, with a flash of green light, Lin Qiye's eyes suddenly became clear.
"So that's how it is! This snake king committed many evil deeds during his lifetime and was cursed deeply. The poison that Sister Na was poisoned with must be a type of this curse. And the way to break it is probably related to the death of the snake king."
He pondered for a moment and looked deeper into the cave.
According to the records on the wall, after King Yu killed the Snake King, he dug a secret cave here to suppress the evil spirit.
If my guess is correct, Sister Na's antidote is probably in that secret cave! (End of this chapter)
