"This is the ancient tomb, but I don't know where I am in the ancient tomb now."
Ye Qian climbed up from the ground and shook off the dirt from his clothes.
Suddenly, a scream of "Kahiss" came from the front.
Are there monsters?
Ye Qian was shocked.
I deliberately avoided the main entrance of the ancient tomb just now because I was afraid of encountering people from the Houqing Gate. This remote entrance that I finally found will not lead directly to the most dangerous area of the ancient tomb.
Too bad luck too.
Ye Qian took the Dao Bing Hua Sheng Dao in his hand and took two tentative steps forward.
Deep in the dark cave.
"Kahiss" came another scream.
This time Ye Qian heard it clearly. The sound was very thin. It couldn't be coming from a monster. It was probably the sound of some kind of insect inside the ancient tomb.
A black bat flew out from inside, shouting: "Kahiss" as it flew.
After getting closer and closer to Ye Qian, the black bat suddenly leaned over and rushed over.
Ye Qian bent down and easily dodged it.
The bat flew to the opposite wall, stayed only for a moment, and flew towards him again.
The speed is much faster than before, and the momentum is more fierce.
Ye Qian was a little angry. He picked up the Taoist weapon and waved it casually, and a ray of silver light flew out and hit the bat.
The bat fell to the ground, screamed "Kass, Kass" and flapped its wings vigorously. It did not fly again, but just circled in place.
Ye Qian thought to himself, he was stabbed by me, but he didn't die. This bat is a bit interesting.
Ye Qian walked over and squatted next to the bat. The bat also stopped spinning and raised its head, seeming to be looking at him.
Suddenly, Ye Qian felt something was wrong and instinctively rolled to the side. He saw a stream of red fire spraying out from the bat's mouth, directly burning the opposite wall black.
Ye Qian swung his knife again and cut the black bat in half.
If I wasn't careful, I almost fell into the hands of a little bat like you.
At this time, someone suddenly shouted: "These bats can breathe fire, be careful." Then there was a sound of fighting.
Ye Qian quickly ran forward.
I saw hundreds of black bats besieging a young man and woman. The two men each held a long sword, waving it constantly and firing spiritual power. However, facing the attacks of so many bats, they seemed a little confused.
Moreover, from time to time, bats would spit out flames, which had already burned the clothes of the two people to black.
Suddenly, the young woman screamed, and a bat bit her arm. The woman reluctantly hit the bat's head twice with the hilt of her sword, and the bat tore off the woman's sleeve and flew away.
Ye Qian noticed that two lines of black blood flowed from the woman's white and tender arms.
These bats are venomous.
The woman's face turned pale and her body began to sway.
The young man glanced at her and shouted, "Junior sister, are you okay?"
The woman shouted with horror on her face: "I seem to be poisoned, brother, please save me quickly, I don't want to be eaten by these bats."
While wielding his sword, the young man retreated toward the exit behind him and said, "Junior sister, I'm going to find the master and ask him to avenge you." After that, he turned around and left.
The woman shouted desperately: "Brother, you..."
Ye Qian jumped to the woman's side and hugged her out. The black bats immediately chased after her. Ye Qian returned and slashed twice. More than ten bats were cut in half, and the other chasing ones quickly flew away.
Ye Qian put the woman on the ground, took out a pill from his pocket, put it into the girl's mouth, then grabbed her arm, looked at it, and said: "It's not very toxic, it just has a certain paralysis effect.
Just rest for a while and you’ll be fine.”
The woman said weakly: "Thank you."
Ye Qian asked: "Who are you?"
Judging from their clothes, they should not be from the Houqing clan.
The woman said: "My senior brother and I were visiting here. We heard rumors that there are powerful martial arts in the ancient tomb, so we avoided the blockade of the two houses and sneaked in to take a look."
Ye Qian shook his head and said: "This ancient tomb is extremely dangerous. You are too weak. You will definitely die if you come here."
The woman covered her face, started to cry, and said: "We made a wish to be dependent on each other for life and death, but in the end he abandoned me."
Ye Qian thought to himself that she was another stupid woman who was deceived. He said: "You'd better leave here quickly. There is an exit behind it. Don't come in again."
The woman looked back and suddenly grabbed Ye Qian's hand and prayed: "My senior brother is still in the ancient tomb. Please take me to find him, please?"
Ye Qian said: "He has abandoned you, and you still have to go find him."
The woman clenched the sword in her hand and said, "He broke our oath, and I will kill him with my own hands."
It would be uncomfortable for anyone to have a former lover suddenly abandon him at a dangerous moment.
But Ye Qian is here to save people. In addition, in this place, there is a tomb of a powerful person in the realm. No one knows what big risks are involved. He can't guarantee that he can escape unscathed, let alone take him with him again.
Alone.
Ye Qian then said: "I still have important things to do. You can resolve your own grievances yourself."
The woman cried and said: "I must kill him with my own hands to relieve the anger in my heart. Please, take me with you."
Ye Qian frowned and said loudly: "Whether you die or not has nothing to do with me, don't follow me anymore."
After Ye Qian finished speaking, he stood up and walked inside.
The woman yelled and said, "This ancient tomb is too big. If you don't have a map, you can easily get lost. I can show you the way."
Ye Qian turned around and said, "Do you have a map of this ancient tomb?"
Ye Manqing shook his head and said: "No, but I know how to detect acupoints and identify directions. It will be more convenient for you with my help."
Ye Qian thought for a while, he was wandering around in the ancient tomb alone, he really had no clue. If Ye Manqing stayed, he could not guarantee her life safety.
Ye Manqing had calmed down for a while, and the dizziness gradually disappeared. She tried to stand up and said, "Please, senior."
Ye Qian said: "Call me Ye Qian."
Ye Manqing heard this and said happily: "You agreed, thank you."
Ye Qian sighed and said: "It's too dangerous here. You may die at any time. Is it worth it?"
Ye Manqing said seriously: "I have already died once, so I am not afraid anymore."
Ye Qian glanced at Ye Manqing, feeling helpless.
The man with Ye Manqing was named Liu Wuren. When they arrived at the ancient tomb, they saw that the door was open, so they walked in directly.
Entering from the main entrance of the ancient tomb, there is a short passage that leads to a square room. There is nothing in the room, and the walls on all sides are covered with strange writings.
Passing through this square room and continuing to the front is the front hall of the ancient tomb, which is at least one hundred and ten square meters in size. Four thick pillars are propped up in the four corners. There is a large bronze tripod in the middle. There is nothing else.
Other things.
Ye Manqing and the two walked around the front hall, feeling that it was too empty and found nothing at all. It was not even as good as the less famous ancient tombs they entered before. They could still find some treasures or encounter some ancient tomb monsters.
Thinking about the rumors about the treasures in this place, either someone deliberately spread the rumors or others have stolen them.
There is a side hall on the left and right sides of the front hall.
After walking around the front hall, the two people walked into the right side hall. It was also empty, without any furnishings. The two felt bored and were about to leave when they suddenly heard movement in a wall.
Liu Wuren stabbed it with his sword, and there was a big hole there.
The two of them crawled in. The hole was very deep, and the space became larger and larger as they walked. After walking for about four or five minutes, they heard a few strange sounds, and then saw a group of bats approaching. They used their long swords to
I couldn't afford to kill those bats and almost lost my life.
Ye Qian thought to himself, it turns out that this passage can directly enter the main hall.
This ancient tomb doesn't seem that complicated.
Suddenly, Ye Qian felt something was wrong. He looked at Ye Manqing and asked, "You just said that the door to the ancient tomb was open when you came in."
Seeing how serious Ye Qian was, Ye Manqing thought about it and said, "Of the two stone doors, the one on the right is completely open, and the one on the left is more than half open."
Ye Qian asked hurriedly: "Did you find many footprints at the entrance of the ancient tomb?"
Ye Manqing thought about it again, shook his head and said, "I didn't pay attention to this." After a pause, he said, "Brother Ye, is there anything wrong with this?"
Ye Qian said: "I'm afraid this is a trap."
Ye Manqing asked in confusion: "A trap?"
Ye Qian nodded and asked: "Where did you hear this news? Have you noticed anything weird?"
Ye Manqing frowned and said: "We heard the news in a nearby town. When we went to the teahouse to drink tea, we heard people talking about it. As for the weird things, there seems to be nothing."
Ye Qian thought to himself, could it be that I am overthinking.
Ye Manqing continued: "I remembered that there were two people talking at the same table while drinking tea. We went there three times to drink tea, and we heard them talking three times, and the words were exactly the same."
That's right.
This ancient tomb is extremely dangerous, and it is definitely not as simple as it seems to Ye Manqing and the others. What the Houqing Sect is best at is refining corpses. They deliberately leaked the news about the secret method in the ancient tomb, attracting some people to come. And these
Most of the people who come here will become puppets and human shields of the Houqing Sect.
Seeing that Ye Qian's face was not very good, Ye Manqing said, "Brother Ye, have you thought of anything?"
Ye Qian said: "I still say what I said, leave here. The danger here is beyond your imagination."
Ye Manqing shook his head like a rattle and said, "No, I won't leave."
Ye Qian had no choice but to accept his destiny.
The two of them walked forward for more than five minutes. The passage did not become narrower at all, and they did not see the right side hall that Ye Manqing mentioned. Instead, it seemed to have no end.
Ye Qian stopped and said, "No, we are going the wrong way."
Ye Manqing said: "This is the only road here, how could we go wrong?"
Ye Qian looked back and was shocked. The road he walked along split into two roads.
