Chapter 82: Nanke's Dream 5

  The stone giant ant was rolled up by the big axe and immediately became furious, the crab opened its pincers and went to clip the man and Guan Nan.

  Wen Baiyu's heart suddenly rose, but the man didn't turn his head back. Suddenly, countless vines stretched out from behind him, "Whoosh—" sound, wrapping around the ant's body and claws. Finally, two vines stretched out and wrapped around Shi Zhong's crab shell.

  Just then, a loud roar was heard, and rocks flew everywhere, splashing all over the place. Wan Qi Jing Hou held Wen Bai Yu's head in his arms, and the rocks around him fell "crackling" down. Suddenly, the giant crab was torn apart by the vines, and the stone pillars collapsed to the ground with a loud crash. The vines then quickly retracted with a "whooshing" sound.

  Everyone stared in amazement, but the man remained a vague shadow, with only a red glow outlining his figure, a pair of red eyes that seemed to be bleeding, and it was impossible to make out his face.

  The man carried Guan Nan, who was unconscious, towards the tomb path. Wen Baiyu shouted from behind: "Where are you taking him?"

  The man turned around and looked at him, saying: "Follow me."

  The man didn't say another word, and carried Guan Nian all the way in. The stone ants behind wanted to catch up, but Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's okay."

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, after walking a few steps, I heard the sound of wisteria vines rushing from behind, and more than a dozen stone roller ants were instantly wrapped tightly by the vines, unable to escape.

  Those vines are extremely thick and large. Perhaps when they were of normal size, they didn't think the vines were that thick and large, but now that their body has shrunk, they find those vines to be very advantageous.

  Guan Nan had fainted in an instant just now and was still unconscious, her whole body limp and her hands and feet icy cold.

  That strange man carried Guan Nan into the front tomb, where there were two coffins, one on each side, with piles of burial objects beside them. On the wall of the tomb was a mural painting of two purple-robed envoys.

  Yu Wei Yang looked up at the mural and said, "I suppose these two people are the two purple-robed envoys sent by King Huai An to welcome Chun Yu Fen."

  The crowd followed into the tomb, and saw a strange man put Guan Nan on the ground. Just as Guan Nan's back touched the floor, several vines suddenly stretched into the tomb, forming a natural big bed on the ground.

  The strange man put Guan Nan on top, probed Guan Nan's nose, and immediately lifted his pants. The sting wound on Guan Nan's leg was getting worse, the scorpion sting would worsen to its worst in five hours, Wen Baiyu and Guan Nan's sting wounds were also about to reach their peak in five hours.

  Guan Nan's leg was severely swollen, especially since he didn't have the Phoenix Blood. The wound was developing in a festering direction, and Guan Nan's entire body was trembling slightly as he faintly convulsed in his coma.

  Wen Baiyu saw that Guan Nan's situation was not good and just wanted to walk over, but Wan Kuang Jinghou stretched out his hand to stop him.

  All of a sudden, a strange man crouched down, his palm opened, and a red-petaled flower suddenly appeared.

  Everyone's eyes widened, that was the flower they saw in Princess Jinzhi's tomb. Wan Qi Jing Hou said it was called Xue Sui, which grew from a corpse.

  The flower petals are very large, the color is bright red like bleeding, looks extremely seductive, a strong and pungent flavor suddenly sweeps in, filling the tomb.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands, he was almost about to shed tears, and even though he covered them, his eyes still felt unbearably sour and both of his eyes had turned red.

  Yu Wei Yang's eyes were also a bit sour, constantly rubbing his eyes with his hands, feeling like he was about to cry out loud and couldn't stop.

  The strange man suddenly reached out and plucked a few petals, pinched them in his hand, and the petals were crushed. A liquid flowed down his palm, and he applied the crushed petals and liquid to Guan Shan's leg.

  Guan Nan violently shuddered, and the pain made her immediately open her eyes. She stared blankly at the person in front of her, then suddenly pulled back her leg and was about to kick the man, with a look of terror and humiliation on her face.

  The man grabbed Guan Nan's ankle with one hand, and Guan Nan didn't even kick him. The man made a dissatisfied "tsk" sound and said, "Don't move."

  She then pinched another petal and applied it to Guan Nan's leg.

  Guan Nan's "hiss" let out a breath, her whole body trembling, but the wound was actually improving at a visible speed, swelling immediately disappeared, ulcers slowly healed, itching and pain slowly dissipated, where the petals were applied outside had a cool and refreshing feeling.

  As soon as Guan Nan opened his eyes, he saw that man. He still remembered being inexplicably tied up by vines and having a strange dream afterwards. When he woke up, Guan Nan was certain it was just a weird dream after all. His clothes were intact, and there was no unusual feeling on his body.

  Guan Nan couldn't help but blush a little, this person had helped her apply medicine to her wound, and yet as soon as she woke up, she kicked him, it seemed like there was no way to justify that.

  Just as Guan Nan was reflecting on herself, a pungent flavor came rushing towards her, and Guan Nan's tears "gushed" out, unstoppable, and she looked seriously at the man.

  Guann just felt dizzy and didn't notice, but this man couldn't see his face, only a vague outline, a pair of narrow red eyes, the petals in his hand filled with a pungent smell, exactly the same as that strange flower they saw in Jinzhi Princess's tomb.

  Guan Nan was suddenly overwhelmed by fear again, his legs shrinking back two steps, only to discover that he was actually standing on a mat of vines. As soon as he moved, the vines wrapped around him, binding him tightly.

  Suddenly, something unexpected happened on the other side. A strange man was treating Guan Nan's wounds. Although it looked exactly like the blood marrow they found in Princess Jinzhi's tomb, he was willing to treat Guan Nan's wounds, which meant he didn't have malicious intentions. However, in an instant, those vines suddenly tied Guan Nan up.

  Wen Baiyu immediately stood up and said: "Who are you?"

  The men didn't turn their heads back to look at him, but instead spoke in a low voice to Guan Nan: "I told you not to move, did you take it as a joke? I have no patience."

  As soon as the man spoke, the vines retreated and turned back into a big bed. Guan Nan was frightened pale, and the feeling of being wrapped around his body by the vines made him think of that terrible nightmare.

  Guan Nan thought, the pungent smell between her nostrils made her tears flow again. The man let out a sound of impatience and his fingers closed together, the flower petals in his hand suddenly disappeared. Then he reached out to wipe away her unstoppable tears.

  The man finished this series of actions and coldly said: "Who I am is none of your business."

  He said, stood up, looked at everyone and said: "If you want to go out, follow me."

  The man finished speaking and suddenly squatted down, embracing Guan Nan in one motion.

  "Hey, what's going on? Let me down!"

  The man said: "Are you leaving or do you want wisteria to drag you away?"

  Guan Nan felt that this man's action of holding him was too familiar, making him recall that kind of panic again, struggling constantly, saying: "Where are you taking me?"

  The man said faintly: "Take you up."

  Guannan said: "Impossible, I'm going up like this, being an ant for a lifetime? Besides, I have something to find, and I won't leave until I find it, let me down!"

  Guan Nan's attitude was extremely tough, while the man's eyes were narrowed in displeasure, his bloodshot eyes filled with a dangerous aura, as if he was enduring his own violent temper. After a long time, Guan Nan felt a bit uneasy in her heart, and only then did the man suddenly put her down.

  Guan Nan's legs gave way, and she suddenly went soft, "thud" kneeling on the ground. Wen Baiyu hurried over to help her sit down, Guan Nan's knee was sore, and it had bumped against the wound, making her break out in a cold sweat.

  The man just gave Guan Nan a cold look, obviously his temper was bad, and suddenly disappeared, the vines in the tomb also "swished" and retreated from the tomb, shrinking back along the tomb path.

  Guannan stared blankly at what was in front of him, if it weren't for the pungent smell still lingering in the air, he would have thought there was something wrong with his eyes. The man had vanished into thin air.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's just an illusion."

  Wen Baiyu said: "The man just now, is he the Blood Jade Flower in the tomb?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said: "It should be, his vines can stretch in, the person just now was just an illusion, the blood marrow should still be on the grave."

  "He suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared, what's his purpose, doesn't seem like he has any malicious intent."

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou furrowed his brow, took a glance at Guan Nan who was panting heavily, and had some doubt in his eyes, seemingly uncertain, but he didn't speak up immediately.

  Guan Nan felt extremely exhausted with just a slight movement, her eyelids were heavy, and she felt weak all over. She lowered her head to take a look at her wound, on which there were still some crushed flower petals.

  Guannan said: "Aren't you looking for this kind of flower? Leave these petals behind."

  Wen Baiyu saw that he was about to scrape off the flower petals on his wound, and hastily stopped him, saying: "Don't move for now, your wound hasn't fully healed yet, just leave it covered for the time being."

  "Where is your wound?"

  Wen Baiyu rolled up her sleeves and took a look. It was still the same as before, slightly red and swollen, but it hadn't worsened. As long as she didn't touch it, it wouldn't hurt too much.

  Wen Baiyu said: "I'm fine, just wait until I get out."

  That Blood Marrow Flower came suddenly and left just as suddenly, but since everyone managed to dodge it, even if Mo Jie and Tang's skills were formidable, dealing with so many giant stone-rolling ants would still require a lot of effort. Now they could conserve their energy instead.

  Guan Nan's condition wasn't great, although the wound on his leg had healed, but he was feeling a bit dizzy all over. They had been climbing for five hours, from the first to the ninth floor of heaven, and were already exhausted to the limit. Just now they were attacked by ants and were preparing to rest in the tomb chamber.

  Wen Bai's stomach was growling, so Tangzi took out some food and distributed it to everyone. When he gave some to Guan Nan, Guan Nan was dozing off, but the smell of the food suddenly made him open his eyes.

  Tang Zi laughed and said: "You haven't eaten for several meals now, you must be hungry..."

  Before she could finish saying "I'm hungry", Guan Nan suddenly sat up and started dry heaving, which scared everyone.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Is it because we ate too much before and didn't digest? Do we have any medicine to treat vomiting?"

  Tangzi rummaged through his backpack and said, "There's something for diarrhea and food poisoning, but nothing for vomiting."

  Wen Baiyu helped Guan Nan pat his back, Guan Nan endured without vomiting, shook his hand, this is a tomb, a very closed place, the air won't flow, if he really vomited, I'm afraid everyone will suffer.

  Guan Nan was somewhat weak and pale, hadn't eaten for several meals, and kept wanting to vomit, her body was also a bit collapsed.

  Tang Zi asked him if he wanted to eat something, Guan Nan shook his head and said: "I smell this smell a bit nauseous."

  Yu Wei Yang said with some oddity: "Although this thing is indeed not as delicious as canned beef, it's still edible..."

  His words were not finished, Guan Nan heard the four words "canned beef" and suddenly covered his mouth again, his throat couldn't help but ** up, looking very painful.

  Wen Baiyu said: "It won't be food poisoning, will it? Let's just take some medicine and that'll be the end of it."

  He said that, Yu Wei Yang brought water and medicine over, but Wan Xi Jing Hou stretched out his hand to stop him, saying: "Don't let him eat blindly, let him sleep for a while."

  Guan Nan also nodded and said: "I'm really exhausted, let me sleep for a while, half an hour later you can wake me up and I'll continue on the journey."

  He said, curled up in the corner of the tomb, shrunk into a ball, closed his eyes, and his breathing immediately stabilized, Wen Baiyu thought he had fainted again.

  Wen Baiyu took out clothes from her backpack and put them on him, then walked to Wan Qi Jinghou's side, sat down, picked up the food from before and smelled it. The faint fragrance was enticing, and this rough thing made his fingers move greatly in the tomb, he wouldn't think of vomiting at all.

  Wen Baiyu has already determined that Guan Nan must have eaten something bad before.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at him after he finished eating and said: "Are you sleepy?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "Looking at Guan Nan sleeping so soundly, I feel like sleeping too."

  "Let's sleep then, it's late now. Guan Nan won't wake up for a while, and even if he does, his physical strength won't be able to keep up, and we can't continue on the road below. Let's all rest first and set off again early tomorrow."

  Tang Zid nodded and spread the clothes on the ground, letting Yu Wei Yang lie down, then said to Wan Kui Jing Hou: "You all sleep, today it's my turn to keep watch."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded, there were two coffins here, and it was unknown whether they would rise from the dead. Someone had to keep watch at night, and since Tang Zi suggested keeping watch, he didn't have to do it himself.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou let Wen Bai Yu lie down, lying on his own legs, Wan Xi Jing Hou leaned back against the tomb wall with his head, his hands were held by Wen Bai Yu, and he closed his eyes to rest.

  Wen Baiyu was also exhausted, the pain was unbearable, his hands were injured and had been hurting for several hours, he had consumed a lot of energy, as soon as he lay down, he fell asleep.

  Wen Baiyu felt that he didn't sleep very soundly, and in a daze, he suddenly saw a palace. Dark iron chains stretched out from all sides, locking his wrists, ankles, waist, and neck, making Wen Baiyu feel like he couldn't move anywhere.

  He looked down at himself in horror, his body moved, and the iron chain made a "rustling" sound. This place was too familiar, so many iron chains, an empty palace, this was King Xiang's palace!

  Wen Baiyu was overwhelmed by a huge fear, and her mind was somewhat dizzy. What on earth is going on?

  "Ugh..."

  The door creaked, and someone pushed it open and walked in. His movements were rough. With a loud "bang", the huge temple gate was slammed shut, and a man wearing black clothes walked in from outside. His face looked bad, and his body reeked of alcohol.

  Wen Baiyu's eyes narrowed, the man had already walked over, he threw his crown to the ground, and suddenly stretched out his hand to tightly hug Wen Baiyu in his arms, holding him so tight that the smell of wine on his body rushed up, making Wen Baiyu's eyes sting.

  The man roughly grasped him, his hand stroking the warm white feathers of his body, muttering to himself: "Mr. White Feathers...White Feathers...White Feathers..."

  The man held him tightly in his arms, holding him like this for a long time. Suddenly, the man stood up and, without even bothering to adjust his crown, opened the palace gate and walked out.

  Wen Baiyu sat in the hall, he was a bit puzzled, didn't know what was going on, his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't react.

  The sky gradually lightened from black, and he could see the light shining in from outside the temple gate. Soon, someone retreated from the temple gate to deliver his meal, respectfully arranging the food.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his expression and asked: "What's good about it?"

  The eunuch smiled and said to Wen Baiyu: "Mr. Baiyu probably doesn't know, this morning the emperor has already prepared to establish the daughter of Right Chancellor Yin as empress and grant a general amnesty to the world..."

  Wen Baiyu's mind was left with only a "buzz" sound.

  After standing...

  The servant smiled and said: "King Xiang is also at an age where he should be establishing a queen..."

  Wen Baiyu felt a sourness in her eye sockets, inexplicably sour, and tears kept falling down.

  "White feather?"

  "White feather?"

  "What's wrong, Bai Yu?"

  Wen Baiyu heard someone calling her name beside her ear, and her body was shaken awake from her dream. She stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes.

  He is Wan Guizong Hou...

  The same face as in the dream.

  Wan Jie Jing Hou picked him up, and Wen Bai Yu actually cried in his sleep. This was somewhat inconceivable, making Wan Jie Jing Hou's heart ache as he asked, "What's wrong? Does your wound hurt?"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, and Wen Bai Yu also felt a little unbelievable that he had cried like this, his tear glands were too developed. Wan Jie Jing Hou's hand reached over, but Wen Bai Yu still remembered the things in his dream, and with one swift motion, he bit down on the back of his hand.

  "Hiss——"

  Wan Jie Jing Hou suddenly took a deep breath, Wen Bai Yu bit quite hard, but Wan Jie Jing Hou didn't move. He waited until he was done biting before saying: "How did you learn to bite people?"

  Wen Bai's eyes were a bit red, as if she had cried earlier. She narrowed her eyes and looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou, saying: "Tell me the truth, have you stood up for me?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou was stunned by his question and thought for a long time before he remembered that he had actually asked about such a distant matter.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou couldn't help but laugh and said, "My heart is all on you, I wish I could tie you to my side every minute, I don't even have a concubine, how can I possibly establish an empress? You're not unaware of my extreme personality.

  Wen Baiyu's complexion slightly improved, and then he heard Wan Jijinghou say: "Besides, I will die at the age of 30. You know everything that happened before I was 30 years old. Where can I set up a memorial arch after I die?"

  Wen Baiyu's face stiffened for a moment as he listened to him, and he still remembered the look of Wan Kuang Jinghou suddenly losing his vitality, which he would never forget.

  Wan Kuang saw Wen Baiyu's face was not right and knew he had thought of the past again, saying: "Don't think too much."

  Wen Baiyu rubbed her eyes, and that sour feeling was still there. Wen Baiyu couldn't help but pause for a moment, then quickly looked around in a circle, saying: "Is the Blood Marrow coming again?"

  Wen Baiyu soon realized that she had just cried bitterly and had a strange dream, definitely because of the influence. The fragrance of the Blood Marrow Flower has a certain hypnotic effect, always making people think of the most heart-wrenching things in their hearts.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded slightly and said: "He came earlier, but didn't have malicious intentions, so I didn't wake you up."

  Wen Baiyu said, "You should wake me up too, so you won't have such a ridiculous nightmare and cry like this."

  Wen Baiyu sat up and asked, "It's already four o'clock, aren't you going back to sleep?"

  He shook his head and looked at Guan Nan, who was sleeping most soundly, but there was an extra wooden barrel beside him.

  Wen Baiyu looked over curiously, and the wooden jar was obviously polished with wood. He walked over, picked it up, and took a look. The wooden jar was very smooth, and it was clear that a lot of effort had been put into polishing it. When he opened the wooden jar, a fragrance that was refreshing to the heart and spleen wafted out.

  "Flower nectar? So much?"

  He said, looking at Wan Qi Jing Hou, "It can't be that the Blood Marrow was sent over, could it?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou nodded and beckoned for Wen Bai Yu to come over.

  Wen Baiyu put the wooden jar back beside Guan Nan, then walked over and sat down, saying: "What's going on with this Blood Marrow? Although his temper seems a bit violent, he's unexpectedly good to Guan Nan? He attacked us in the previous tomb, I thought he had malicious intentions."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's eyes were somewhat profound and unpredictable, saying: "Perhaps there was malice before, but he changed his mind."

  "Are you aware of something?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "It's not certain, so I don't dare to say it out loud."

  Wen Baiyu looked around in a circle, except for a pungent flavor, couldn't see the shadow of blood jade, estimated to have exited the tomb again.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou woke up in the middle of the night and let Tang Zi sleep, taking his place for the second half of the night. Tang Zi didn't pretend to be polite and went to sleep with Yu Wei Yang in his arms.

  It was almost half an hour later that Tang Zi also woke up. As soon as he moved, Yu Wei Yang quickly woke up too.

  Tangzi said: "Am I disturbing you?"

  Yu Wei Yang shook his head and said, "No, I didn't sleep very soundly."

  He said with his eyes open, and his eyeballs were a bit red. Wen Baiyu knew at a glance that he must have smelled the scent of blood marrow in his dream, so he didn't sleep well.

  They sat up, Guan Nan still hadn't woken up. At around five o'clock, Guan Nan woke up too, rubbed his eyes, suddenly sat up, took a look at the watch and said: "My day, I almost overslept, why didn't you guys call me?"

  Wen Baiyu said: "We just happened to rest for a while and replenish our energy... How's your body, can you walk?"

  Guan Nan nodded and said, "Much better, finally had a good sleep."

  He said, his hand pressed down on the ground and touched a wooden barrel beside him. He picked it up and suddenly smelled a fragrance that moved people's hearts, and his stomach started to growl, saying: "Hey, where did this come from?"

  He said, opening the lid, that fragrance became even more intense, a faint scent mixed with a faint sweetness, making people's saliva secrete non-stop. Guan Nan felt he had no appetite, but smelling this fragrance, suddenly became hungry.

  After everyone finished breakfast, Guan Nan drank that jar of flower honey. Although it wasn't much, after drinking it, he felt a warmth in his stomach and seemed to have gained some energy.

  Everyone stood up and was about to go inside when suddenly a "click" sound came from within the tomb, followed by a sudden noise.

  Everyone immediately became alert and looked around, with Wen Baiyu saying: "A coffin?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou nodded, and then there was another "click" sound. Then, the coffin lid quietly opened by itself.

  "Whoosh!" A purple cloth strip suddenly flew out, and Wan Qi Jinghou blocked Wen Baiyu's retreat by two steps. The dragon scale dagger "swished" and the cloth strip was cut off instantly.

  At the same time, another "whoosh" sound was heard, and another coffin opened. The coffin lid flew up into the sky with a "hiss", and out came a zongzi wearing purple clothes.

  Those dumplings really look like human faces, if they weren't so small in size, there's no difference with ordinary people.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Zi Yi Envoy's Zongzi?"

  Two purple-robed zongzi crawled out of the coffin and quickly crawled on the ground, reaching out to grab Wen Baiyu.

  Wen Baiyu suddenly pulled back, the phoenix bone dagger in his hand was swiftly drawn out of its sheath and made a slashing motion downwards. The two purple-robed men seemed to have been startled and also quickly retreated backwards.

  Wen Baiyu said: "This time you don't have a sixth sense?"

  Guan Nan felt somewhat embarrassed and said: "I haven't had a chance to say..."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly had an urge to give Guan Nan a brain, Guan Nan's sixth sense was getting more and more unreliable, it used to be able to give them a chance to escape, but once they entered the tomb, it became a feeling of something that was about to happen, and now it has become a hindsight!

  Those two purple-robed envoys were not difficult to deal with, but what was strange was that they suddenly made a weird sound, and soon the sound of "rustling" could be heard, and countless large ants emerged from the coffin.

  Wen Baiyu looked under the coffin and said: "The bottom of the coffin is actually empty. Is it used as a pipe?"

  Those big ants and the stone rollers from just now are about the same size, but these aren't made of stone - they're living ants.

  They crawled out of the coffins, quickly swarming and overflowing like a dark tide, surrounding the two purple-robed envoys in the middle, rapidly closing in on them.

  A white feather palm "hiss" a bright, a ball of fire went out, but the flame was too small, not yet past, the spark "puff" sound extinguished, leaving only a small spark, those ants initially still shocked, immediately retreated back, seemingly very afraid of the flames.

  But the flame went out immediately, as if thoroughly infuriating the ants, which came flooding over like a tidal wave.

  Yu Wei Yang looked at Wen Bai Yu and said, "Are you teasing them?"

  Wen Baiyu was also quite helpless, all of their divine powers were now forcibly sealed within their bodies and couldn't be used at all.

  Wan Kuangying Hou grabbed Wen Baiyu and said, "Stop being stubborn, let's go quickly."

  Everyone retreated out of the tomb, but ants continued to pour out of the coffin in an endless stream, crawling over in wave after wave.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou ran while quickly taking off his backpack, pulling out a lighter from inside, blowing it bright, and then rapidly throwing it backwards.

  Although the spark is small, when thrown into an anthill, it instantly causes a commotion and has quite an effect.

  But after the flames went out, those ants came chasing again.

  Wen Baiyu said: "We don't have many matches, we can't throw them away anymore."

  Wan Ji Jing Hou took out a fluorescent stick from his backpack at this time, Wen Bai Yu suddenly had a headache, looking at the fluorescent stick and saying: "Are ants afraid of this? This doesn't burn."

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Can hold on for a bit."

  He said, quickly throwing out the red glow stick, like a flame color, threw it over, those ants were scared by the previous lighter, immediately retreated in a hurry, not daring to touch the glow stick, indeed saving them some time.

  Everyone ran forward along the tomb path. Yu Wei Yang was running so hard that he was panting, and Tang Zi said: "Boss Yu, I'll carry you on my back?"

  Yu Wei Yang waved his hand and said, "No need, no need, hurry up and run. If I'm not mistaken, these two are Purple Robe Messengers. Let's keep running forward, their status is very low, they will definitely have a place where they can't enter."

  Everyone's physical strength was not bad, and they kept rushing forward. Guan Nan's physical strength was actually not bad either, but for some reason, he had been feeling unwell these past two days. As soon as he started running, he felt his heart racing and nauseous, his legs felt like lead, and after a few steps, a wave of hot sweat came down, soaking the back of his shirt. He felt his throat swelling, his brain pounding "thump thump thump", and his vision began to blur, with Wen Baiyu's figure in front of him appearing as double images.

  Guan Nan didn't make a sound, and followed to run forward, he didn't want to drag his feet, obviously felt better in the morning, but now it's like being hollowed out.

  Guan Nan's vision was becoming increasingly blurred, with flashes of black and white stars. Suddenly, her foot caught on something, and she felt herself falling forward. She heard a loud "thud" as she landed on the ground, and immediately felt a sharp pain in her abdomen that was impossible to describe.

  The crowd heard the sound and immediately turned their heads to help Guan Nan, just at this moment, "swish" a sound, countless vines drilled out of the tomb path, quickly swept over, and instantly lifted Guan Nan off the ground.

  Suddenly a figure appeared in front of everyone, and with one swift motion, picked up Guan Nan who was curled up in pain, looking extremely pale, saying "Let's go."

  The strange man appeared again, hugging Guan Nan and running forward quickly. Behind him, countless vines wove a large net, sealing off the entire tomb path, making it impossible for those ants to get through.

  The strange man hugged Guan Nan and kept walking in, soon they came across a large gate, the thousand-pound gate seemed to have encountered something, it had all fallen down, the mechanism on the side showed signs of damage.

  It's obvious that someone who came in earlier had brought down the gate. They might have encountered something, but only Guan Nan would know what it was.

  However, Guan Nan's complexion was poor, and he had probably been sweating all along. His facial features were all scrunched up together, and it wasn't certain that he could respond even if asked at this time.

  A crowd stood in front of the gate, and the strange man waved his hand. Suddenly, a tendril stretched out from behind him, making a "whooshing" sound, like a hook-claw, which quickly grabbed into the stone door. With a loud "boom", it actually drilled a large hole in the stone door.

  Those vines were incredibly hard, crashing against the stone gate one after another. The gap in the stone gate quickly grew larger, and those vines seemed to be hands, starting to peel away at the fragmented stones of the gate, slowly prying open the gap.

  When they had parted to a certain distance, the man hugged Guan Nan and walked in with his head lowered.

  The crowd followed them in, and after passing through the thousand-pound gate, there was actually a city wall behind it. On top of the city wall, there were also low walls, looking very grand. This should be the inner wall of Dashan Kingdom already.

  After entering the city wall, the man put Guan Nan down. Guan Nan was in severe pain, curled up on the ground, holding his arm with one hand and shaking, while making intermittent moaning sounds.

  The strange man looked at Guan Nan's pale face, his expression extremely displeased, a pair of blood-red eyes with an even deeper gaze, as if there was a violent anger hidden inside.

  Wen Baiyu looked at his expression and was somewhat worried about Guan Nan. This man seemed emotionally unstable.

  The strange man suddenly squatted down, opened Guan Nan's arms that were hugging him, and Guan Nan was startled awake by his movement. He looked at the man in horror, stretching out his hand to avoid the man's touch.

  The strange man had a strong attitude, grabbing Guan Nan's hand with one hand and placing the other on Guan Nan's abdomen. Guan Nan was clearly startled by this action, but soon felt the cramping sensation in his stomach disappear, replaced by a warm, soothing energy flowing back and forth.

  Her icy hands and feet slowly became less stiff, Guan Nan's eyelids grew heavy, she was clearly afraid of this person, yet somehow felt inexplicably at ease, her head tilted to one side, and she fell into a daze.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at his movements, and his eyes also deepened, as if he had confirmed something, and his face immediately became very unsightly.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the man and said: "Are you Xue Su?"

  The man neither acknowledged nor denied him.

  Xue Su's personality seems to be very aloof and violent, not liking to talk much. Only when facing Guan Nan, will he slightly reveal a hint of caution, which makes Wen Baiyu very puzzled. Could it be that they knew each other before? But looking at Guan Nan's attitude, she doesn't seem to know this person.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said coldly: "I have something to say to you."

  He said, and soon walked out of the inner wall. Yu Wei Yang was a bit curious, stretched his neck to take a look, and saw that Xue Mu had indeed turned around and followed him out of the inner wall, but he didn't know what they wanted to say.

  Tang Zishen reached out and scratched the bridge of Yu Yang's nose, saying: "Stop staring, come help me see how Guan Nan is doing."

  Yu Wei Yang was still very curious, but in the end followed Tang Zi over to see Guan Nan.

  Wen Baiyu was also curious about what Wan Jingshou wanted to say to Xue Su, and immediately followed him over. Wan Jingshou turned his head to look at him, but didn't say anything to stop him.

  Three people walked out of the inner wall and returned to the place between Qianjinzhai and the inner wall.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou hugged his arms, coldly looking at Xue Su, and said: "Why did you choose him?"

  Xue Su coldly smiled and said: "Because he can resist my venom."

  He said, looking at Wen Baiyu, who was confused by his gaze.

  "Anyway, this person is fine, but there's a strong dragon smell on him that really makes me uncomfortable. If I had to choose, his body can withstand more, after all, he's a phoenix and also a deity..."

  The words had barely fallen when Wan Gui Jing Hou's hand moved, and the dragon-scale dagger flashed with a cold light, swiftly striking over.

  Blood marrow stood still without moving, and suddenly a large number of vines rolled out from behind him, quickly wrapping around the wrist of Wan Xiang Jing Hou.

  Wen Baiyu's heart suddenly rose, and Wan Kuang Jinghou's divine power was sealed. The blood marrow was just attached to the vines and entered the tomb as a virtual image. The spiritual power was full, so it was clear who was at a disadvantage.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's hand moved swiftly and ruthlessly, the dagger spinning once before suddenly changing direction. A "whooshing" sound was heard as the vines that had wrapped around him were severed, and at the same time, the dagger thrust forward.

  Blood marrow eyes revealed a hint of surprise, the vine was suddenly strangled to pieces, his body stumbled back half a step, and he steadied himself without leaving any trace.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's dagger suddenly pointed to Xue Su's brow, and Xue Su reached out his hand with a "click" sound to clamp the tip of the dagger.

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's wrist turned, the sharp blade of the dagger quickly scraped a circle between his two fingers, and the blood clot immediately loosened its grip, leaving bloody marks on his fingertips.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou slowly retracted his dagger at this time, then shook off the blood stains on the dagger and coldly looked at him, saying: "I don't like to joke around, I suppose you don't either."

  Xue Yu coldly laughed and didn't say anything.

  Wen Baiyu didn't guess what they were getting at, and just listened to Wan Qi Jinghou continue saying: "There isn't a single person here that you can move, so be smart and roll out quickly."

  A faint sneer spread across his face as he said, "It's too late now, you must have realized it too."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou's face sank, and then he heard Xue Mu continue to say: "I just want to have offspring, before Guan Nan gives birth to my offspring, I will ensure his safety."

  Wen Baiyu heard him say this and suddenly felt a little dizzy. A thought flashed through her mind, as if she had remembered something.

  Guan Nan always looked like he wasn't full, but these past few days he's been acting out of character and not eating anything. The smell of food makes him want to vomit, he's always sleepy and can never get enough sleep, his body is weak...

  Wen Baiyu thought of a word in her mind, but Guan Nan was a man, and no matter how you looked at it, he didn't seem like someone who could get pregnant...

  Xue Yu looked at Wan Qi Jing Hou and said, "Moreover, she is already pregnant with my offspring. You may not be very familiar with my race, unless she gives birth smoothly, otherwise there will only be death."

  Wen Baiyu's eyes widened and she said: "Are you crazy? Guan Nan is a man!"

  "Men and women are the same to us," said Xue Suo. "As long as they're not afraid of our venom, they can reproduce."

  He said, turned around and walked into the inner wall, no longer paying attention to Wan Qi Jing Hou.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou looked at the back of Xue Mu with a chilly gaze, and Wen Bai Yu said: "Didn't you say that Xue Mu Hua grows on corpses? If so, what about Guan Nan?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said, "It's indeed grown on a corpse, but the descendants of Xue Mu Hua must be bred on a living person. This flower has an extremely overbearing vitality and will absorb the host's yuan Shen until it is exhausted. Only after the host is drained can Xue Mu Hua grow out."

  "Wen Baiyu's back felt a bit numb as he listened, and he said, 'What can be done? Can it be gotten rid of now?'"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "Guan Nan is now pregnant with the descendant of Xuegui Flower, I only know that this kind of flower has an extremely strong vitality, if we act rashly, Guan Nan's essence may also be lost together."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Isn't Guan Nan already on a dead-end path?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou shook his head and said: "Take it one step at a time, that's all we can do for now."

  Wen Bai's face was also very bad, and this matter couldn't be told to Guan Nan. If it were told to Guan Nan, who knows what she would think? Now that Guan Nan is not feeling well physically, there's already enough pressure on her, adding mental stress as well, and being in a tomb, who knows if she'll collapse or not.

  Everyone returned to the inner wall, and Yu Wei Yang clearly felt that Wen Bai Yu's face was not right. Wen Bai Yu rarely got angry, usually being very carefree, occasionally having some thoughtful moments, but never showing a black face to anyone. Yu Wei Yang had only heard about the time when the Nao beast caused trouble, when Wen Bai Yu's face turned dark once.

  Yu Wei Yang walked over and said: "What's wrong?"

  Wen Baiyu shook her head and still didn't say anything. This matter was already annoying enough, telling Yu Yang would be pointless, and it would only add to his worries as well.

  Guan Nan was in agony just now, but somehow she fell asleep. I don't know what the blood marrow did, but Guan Nan's expression relaxed and she seemed to be sleeping quite soundly.

  After the blood marrow arrived, Guan Nan was carried horizontally and said: "Let's go, I don't want him to stay in the tomb for too long. The yin energy here is too heavy, it's not good for him."

  Wen Baiyu sneered and said, what's wrong with Guan Nan? Obviously, she just wants Guan Nan to have offspring.

  Xue Mu's cold smile didn't seem to register with him as he picked up Guan Nan and continued walking forward.

  Yu Wei Yang said: "Where is that peach wood sword after all? This kind of burial object should be in the main tomb chamber, right?"

  Tang Ziyu shook his head and said, "It's possible that it was originally in the main tomb chamber, but now it's definitely not there. Guan Nan and the others last entered the tomb after it had shrunk, and to restore it, they must have found another peach wood seal, and inside the tomb, it would have expanded, which would have caused the tomb to collapse. But now the tomb is so intact. They must have encountered some trouble after obtaining the peach wood seal."

  Wen Baiyu said: "I remember Guan Nan saying that something was chasing them, what is it? Is it really a ghost soldier?"

  Everyone was guessing what it was, and they had to wait until Guan Nan woke up to find out.

  Guan Nan slept very soundly, her breathing was long and even, snuggled in the warm embrace of her blood relatives, occasionally letting out a soft murmur.

  They walked further in and found a tomb chamber. On the coffin was an inscription that read: "Dahai An Guo You Xiang Wu Cheng Hou Duan".

  Yu Wei Yang said in surprise: "This is the Right Chancellor of Huai An State, I remember that there was a Right Chancellor with the surname Duan in the legend of Nan Ke Taishou."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Won't there be another resurrection?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou looked around and said, "Last time they entered the tomb, they must have damaged the grave, changed the Feng Shui, and the corpses in this tomb also underwent changes."

  He said so, which means there is a possibility of resurrection, and the possibility is quite large.

  Blood marrow hugged Guan Nan and walked over, putting Guan Nan on the ground. With a wave of his hand, countless vines suddenly appeared from under the coffin, stretching up to wrap around it tightly with a "clang" sound, turning into numerous sturdy chains.

  He's been bothering me like this, even if the zongzi were to come back to life, it probably couldn't crawl out of the coffin.

  Wen Baiyu looked at the vines, then looked at his own palm. If he recovered his divine power, he would definitely throw a fireball at him and let him taste it.

  After being put down, Guan Nan seemed to feel that the floor was very cold, her body began to curl up, her eyebrows furrowed, as if she was having a nightmare, cold sweat dripping down, her mouth opening and closing, as if wanting to shout for help, stretching out her hands to grab randomly.

  Xue Mu was about to reach out and grab Guan Nan's wildly grasping hands when Wen Baiyu walked over, pushed him aside, grabbed Guan Nan's hand, and lifted her up from the ground.

  Guan Nan felt Wen Baiyu's body temperature and finally relaxed a bit, waking up from the nightmare.

  Guan Nan opened her eyes and saw Wen Baiyu, blinked a few times, and let out a sigh of relief.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Had a nightmare?"

  Guan Nan subconsciously nodded, he had that dream again, the one with the monster covered in vines, the monster with reverse thorns, inserting its thing into his own body. Guan Nan had never been in a relationship, let alone done such things, and in the dream, aside from the pain, there was no other feeling, this was clearly a form of torture, a cruel punishment.

  But what's even more terrifying is that Guan Nan dreamed of himself being disembowelled, a flower like blood growing out of his body. Someone cut open his chest and abdomen, and the blood gushed out, dyeing the petals an even more vibrant colour. All Guan Nan felt was wave after wave of despair. In the dream, he couldn't die just yet, so he could only watch as the terrifying flower slowly grew out of his own body...

  Guannan seemed to have thought of the terrifying dream from earlier, subconsciously closing his eyes and trembling all over. Wen Baiyu looked at his painful expression, not knowing what he was thinking of.

  "What's wrong?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Guannan smiled wryly and said: "I was just thinking, are the dreams I have also a kind of sixth sense..."

  Guan Nan felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but shiver as she spoke.

  Wen Baiyu couldn't help but glare at Xue Su, lifting her head to stare at him fiercely. Guan Nan also looked up and saw Xue Su standing beside them, and she was startled, shrinking back slightly. After all, Guan Nan had just been having a nightmare, and the man in her nightmare was precisely this person.

  Xue Mu saw Guan Nan reach out to grab Wen Bai Yu, but the look in his own eyes was one of extreme fear. A surge of disgust rose up in his heart, and he suddenly walked over, grabbed Guan Nan's hand, and said: "Come here."

  Guan Nan's body was originally weak, and with a single pull from him, she was instantly lifted off the ground, feeling as if her arm was going to fall off, and let out a pained "ahh".

  Xuemu's movement was very violent, and Yu Wei Yang frowned. Wan Kuang Jing Hou stretched out his hand and lifted it up. The dragon-scale dagger flew over with a "whoosh" sound. Xuemu had no choice but to loosen his grip, and the dagger scraped past his wrist, nailing itself into the tomb wall beside him.

  Wen Baiyu quickly helped Guan Nan up and sat him down in a pile of people, far away from the bloodstain.

  Guannan sat down and looked at her wrist, which had a ring of red marks that resembled branding, along with some bloodstains. It was clear how violent the action of extracting her marrow must have been.

  Wen Baiyu took out some medicine from her backpack and applied it to his hand. Guan Nan felt a bit embarrassed, but he was also touched in his heart. Even his own father had never been so good to him before.

  Wen Baiyu applied the medicine to Guan Nan, and Wan Xizong Hou picked up all the medicine and put it in his backpack. He pulled Wen Baiyu along, lowering his voice to say, "You're so good to others, I'll get jealous."

  Wen Baiyu was taken aback for a moment, then her face turned slightly red as she said, "Let's go."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou grasped his hand and placed it in her own palm, saying: "Look, I'm also hurt."

  Wen Baiyu lowered her head to take a look, and Wan Qi Jinghou's palm indeed had an injury. It was a very small wound, with four or five cuts across the center of his palm, slightly bleeding. Because it was on the palm, even without moving, the wound would easily tear open.

  "What's going on here?" said Wen Baiyu.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "Just now, Man Teng drew a picture."

  Wen Baiyu thought of the scene just now behind Qianjin Dam, where Wan Kuang Jinghou's movements were swift and decisive, and he had crushed those vines with a single twist. At that time, Wan Kuang Jinghou's movements were really too fast, and there was an overwhelming aura about him, so much so that Wen Baiyu thought he hadn't been injured at all...

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why didn't you say so earlier."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou said: "It's just a minor injury, I didn't want you to worry."

  Wen Baiyu rolled his eyes and was about to take out the ointment from his backpack, but Wan Qi Jinghou stopped him, saying: "Don't bother with the medicine, just help me lick it clean."

  Wen Baiyu's face was even more like a burning fire, although Guan Nang had already seen Wen Baiyu and Wan Jiahao being close before and was no longer surprised, but now that there was an outsider present, Wen Baiyu couldn't pretend to be so thick-skinned.

  Wen Baiyu said gruffly, "Not a bit of trouble."

  He said, and then took out the ointment, squeezed some out, and applied it to his wound with a cotton swab. The cool sensation made Mo Jinghou feel even less pain than before. As he watched Wen Baiyu carefully apply the ointment, a smile finally appeared on his dark face.

  Guan Nan woke up, and they prepared to continue moving forward. Wen Baiyu asked him about Yu Wei Yang's question earlier - after obtaining the Peach Wood Sword, how did they walk out of the tomb? After all, after getting the Peach Wood Sword, their bodies would become larger, so if they didn't bring the Peach Wood Sword with them, how did they get out?

  Guan Nan was taken aback, clearly stumped by the question. He then began to stare blankly into space, an expression that everyone present was all too familiar with. It seemed Guan Nan couldn't think of anything again and needed some time to deliberate carefully, but no one knew when he would finally respond.

  The crowd didn't seem to be in a hurry either, and they all walked towards the inside together. The Blood Marrow also followed quietly at the very back, not saying a word to them.

  After a long time, Guan Nan suddenly spoke up: "I don't remember... I don't know why, my memory is particularly fragmented, and I really can't say it clearly... All I remember is... the last clear fragment, I saw a big tree."

  "Big tree?"

  Wen Baiyu was shocked and said: "Is it a fragment of Jianmu?"

  Guannan shook her head and said: "I don't know, it's just a big tree with very dense branches, but there are no leaves, it's bare, the branches are intricate... like a net..."

  Guan Nan closed his eyes and recalled that this fragment he remembered very clearly, and the rest were very scattered.

  Guan Nan reminisced for a while, suddenly her stomach growled loudly, Wen Baiyu almost burst out laughing. Whenever Guan Nan reminisces, she always gets hungry easily.

  Wen Baiyu took out food from her backpack and handed it to him, saying: "Eat while you think."

  Guan Nan nodded, but as soon as she opened the package, she covered her mouth and was about to vomit.

  Wen Baiyu's face stiffened, and she suddenly remembered that Guan Nan was pregnant now, and seemed to be particularly sensitive to stimulating smells...

  Xue's complexion didn't look good, and he suddenly walked over to support Guan Nan, who was bent at the waist and about to vomit. His palm opened, and immediately a rustling sound could be heard. Soon, vines stretched out from the tomb passage, with a wooden jar wrapped around them.

  ...just like the wooden barrel where Guan Nai drank the honey before...

  Guan Nandong's eyes widened suddenly. He had thought that it was the honey brought in when they were burying the grave, but he did not expect that it was actually this terrifying man who had gotten it.

  Xue Mu took down the jar of flower honey and stuffed it into Guan Nan's hand, saying: "You'll eat this from now on."

  Guan Nan was afraid of this person from the bottom of his heart and didn't want to take that jar, but he was so hungry that he felt dizzy. He didn't know why, but as soon as he remembered it, he felt extremely hungry and couldn't bear it anymore. He grabbed it and poured the honey into his mouth in a muddle.

  Blood marrow watched him drink the flower honey, then walked to one side, keeping a certain distance from them, waving his hand, and the vines that stretched out from the tomb path also retreated.

  Guan Nan's stomach was full, he looked around and said: "Let's hurry up, we'll be at the main tomb chamber soon."

  "Wen Baiyu said: 'Do you remember where that tree is?'"

  Guannan nodded and said: "It's just behind the main tomb chamber. It should be a place for worship, it's very big there."

  Guan Nan led the crowd forward and saw something slanting on the tomb path ahead. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a person.

  Guan Nan's eyes widened suddenly, first in shock, then her face turned pale, she took a step back, covering her mouth with her hand, as if she was about to throw up.

  Wen Baiyu looked ahead and saw that on the path in front of them, there was actually a person lying horizontally. The person had already turned into a mummy, lying on the ground with relatively intact clothes. It must be someone from their team, as they all wore the same uniform. Guan Nan would definitely recognize him.

  Guan Nan's face looked terrible, he was uncomfortable and extremely weak. The Blood Jade Flower did not reproduce like humans, their reproductive power was extremely strong and the cycle was very short, relying on absorbing □□ yuan to grow up.

  Such a strong reproductive force, but the Blood Orchid almost went extinct. This is because the Blood Orchid carries toxic fluids that emit a pungent odor, which can cause hallucinations just by inhaling it. The host fears this toxin and will be poisoned to death before the Blood Orchid's offspring have absorbed enough spiritual energy.

  Xuě Suǐ's choice of Guān Nán was also due to their unexpected encounter in the Golden Branch Princess' tomb, where Xuě Suǐ's tendrils wrapped around Guān Nán and the toxic liquid on its thorns had no effect on him.

  Xue Su wouldn't let such a rare opportunity slip away, after all he had never found a host that could help him reproduce before.

  Guan Nan had a congenital sixth sense, which was in itself a supernatural spiritual power for an ordinary person. For the Blood Marrow Flower, this was also a delicacy, and it was naturally more suitable for reproduction. However, the Blood Marrow Flower's vitality was too strong, and the essence in Guan Nan's body began to rapidly wither away. When stimulated by external forces, he would produce some reactions that were more intense than those of ordinary people, all of which were normal.

  Guan Nan's pupils constricted, her throat rolled back and forth, she held her breath and didn't let it out, almost **.

  The mummy's face was twisted in a look of terror, its mouth agape, and you could even see the shriveled chest cavity through the open mouth. The dark purple skin emitted a foul odor.

  Guan Nan was breathing rapidly, and Wen Baiyu said: "If you really can't hold it in, then just vomit."

  He said, rummaging through his backpack in confusion, and pulled out a plastic bag. Guan Nan shook her head repeatedly, unable to say a word. Xue Mu couldn't bear it anymore, pushed away Wen Baiyu, walked over and hugged Guan Nan.

  Guan Nan only felt a warm current emerging from the palm of his hand, which slowly relieved his nausea. His body was no longer so tense and after a while, he gradually recovered.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou walked up to the corpse and squatted down to examine it. "He died from poisoning, probably scorpion venom."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Are there scorpions here too?"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou said: "We are already close to the main tomb chamber, there are bloodstains on the scorpions' heads, it must be that someone is raising them, they will definitely be guarding around the main tomb chamber, everyone be careful."

  As the crowd continued to move forward, the tombs ahead became unusual. The tomb path turned golden yellow and was paved with gold. It can be imagined that at that time, the national power of Da Huan An Guo was relatively strong, otherwise it would not have been so luxurious.

  A golden paved path, the tomb walls on both sides are made of jade, carved with vivid murals, everything exudes a luxurious atmosphere.

  Wen Baiyu pointed at those jade wall carvings and said: "Jianmu?"

  All that can be seen are those jade wall carvings, each carving a scene of a huge tree, similar to what Guan Shan said, with lush branches but no leaves.

  This tree stands alone, surrounded by many kneeling Huainan people, all of whom are devoutly worshiping. Among them is a man who appears to be the king, also devoutly worshiping.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said, "It should be a fragment of Jianmu, the murals here all have an exaggerated technique, I suppose this tree isn't that big either. For the people of Huai'an, a fragment of Jianmu is already big enough."

  Guan Nan also saw the mural and said: "It looks similar to this one, but it's indeed not that big."

  Guannan said, pointing ahead, "We're almost there. After passing through the main tomb chamber, there's a large sacrificial altar behind it. We found an entrance on the altar that we can go down... and below is that tree."

  The golden passageway continued for a long time, and on the gold were carved patterns of great rivers. Everyone followed the golden passageway all the way in, not far from where they saw stone statues of ants, also holding weapons, divided into two teams, guarding the tomb chamber not far away.

  In front of it was a tomb gate, also made of gold, with carvings on top that were all inlaid with jade. The door to the tomb chamber was open by a crack, and must have been opened when someone came in before.

  The crowd didn't need to open the tomb gate and walked in directly. As soon as they entered, they suddenly smelled a rotten smell, and a strong stench rushed into their noses.

  Even Lian Wenbai was almost fumigated, Guan Nan coughed twice, and the blood pulp came up immediately, covering Guan Nan's mouth and nose.

  Wen Baiyu stared at the tomb in shock. The outside was made of gold and jade, but inside the tomb it was filled with a foul odor?

  At a glance, he was shocked to see that the floor of the tomb chamber was also paved with gold. In the middle stood a huge coffin, which seemed to be burying two people judging from its shape. It must have been the king and his wife.

  Next to the coffin was another one. The other coffin was wooden and roughly the same as the wax coffins they had seen before.

  There were only two coffins in the tomb, and one was missing on the left side, but there were signs of movement on the ground, presumably the wax coffin they had taken away earlier.

  This tomb should have had three coffins in it, but now there were only two. Next to the coffins, piles and piles of corpses were stacked up.

  Some of the corpses had rotted, some had become mummies, some were just a pile of white bones, some had fallen to the ground in pieces, some had lost their heads, and some were missing feet. In short, not one was intact.

  The golden floor was filled with bloodstains, looking abnormally disgusting.

  Guan Nan was shocked by the scene in front of him, and he muttered: "Last time we came, there were only burial objects here, but not... so many corpses."

  Wan Xi Jing Hou examined the bodies and furrowed his brow, saying: "There are signs of tearing on the corpses, as well as bite marks."

  "Teeth marks?"

  Yu Wei covered her mouth, and her stomach also felt a wave of nausea. "You mean to say that these severed legs and arms were eaten by someone?"

  Tangzi said: "I'm afraid it's not a person, but a zongzi."

  He said, pointing to the coffin at the far end, "This coffin is open."

  Guannan said in surprise: "It's impossible to open it, we only opened one of them because they said that the coffin must be taken out, otherwise there is no proof that Huian Guo actually existed in history, so we worked together to carry the coffin out. The other coffins were not touched."

  The crowd gathered around, and indeed, the coffin that Tangzi pointed to was open. The wooden lid of the coffin was slightly raised, revealing a small gap.

  Wan Xi Jing Hou ran his hand along the seam and then reached out to touch the side of the coffin, saying: "It's empty inside."

  The crowd was shocked and began to open the coffin lid. To their surprise, it was empty inside except for some burial objects, but there was no corpse.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's not completely empty, there is still a bone left."

  He said, pointing inside, and saw that among the burial objects in the coffin, there was actually a bone mixed in.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Why is there only one bone?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "I have an idea, but I need to open another coffin to know."

  He said, turning around and stretching out his hand to touch the huge coffin, knocking on it, and then running his hand along the seam of the coffin lid, saying: "This one is also open."

  He said, his two hands clapped together, and with a light lift, there was a "rumbling" sound. The coffin lid was lifted off and fell to the ground on one side.

  Everyone suddenly took a deep breath, only to see that the coffin was in disarray, with too many burial objects scattered about, arranged in a very disorderly manner, like a garbage dump.

  And those burial objects were coated with a layer of black stuff that smelled somewhat fishy.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou said: "It's blood."

  He said, took out a dagger, and stirred among the burial objects, the burial objects were stripped open, and inside, a human head was exposed!

  The head has already turned into a skull.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou used a dagger to nudge the head slightly, letting it rotate in a circle among the burial objects, then said: "Female."

  Wen Baiyu said: "Only one head?"

  Wan Qi Jing Hou nodded and said, "My guess may be true. A zongzi (glutinous rice dumpling) might have slipped away from here, or perhaps it was a change in the feng shui that caused him to rise from the dead. These incomplete corpses should be the people who were buried with him."

  Yu Wenyang said: "Those scorpions, were they raised by the zongzi?"

  Tangzi said, "I'm afraid that's right. Do you still remember the scene when we were at the cave entrance? Those scorpions saw Wen Baiyu and wanted to drag him into the cave. I'm afraid they were looking for food for their offspring. After all, Wen Baiyu's body size is just right, isn't it?"

  Wen Baiyu thought for a moment and suddenly felt numb on his back. He said, "Don't say that anymore, our current body shape is quite suitable."

  He had just spoken when a rustling sound was heard coming from afar.

  Blood Bone frowned and said: "The scorpion has arrived."

  Wen Baiyu suddenly felt like a jinx, what was she talking about with that nonsense about spirits?

  Guan Nan opened her eyes wide and said: "Hurry up, let's go this way."

  He said, quickly passing through the main tomb chamber, and there was also a tomb door behind the main tomb chamber, which was also made of gold. The tomb door indeed opened a gap, and the crowd passed through the tomb door and rushed forward rapidly in the tomb passage.

  Guan Nan's physical strength was no good, and he quickly broke out in a sweat, looking very tired. Xue Mu furrowed his brow, suddenly ran over, and scooped him up in a horizontal hug.

  "Guannan struggled and said: 'What are you doing?!'"

  "Can you run?" said the cold and gloomy Blood Marrow.

  Guan Nan was a bit tongue-tied. He really couldn't run anymore, but he didn't suggest being carried either, that would be too humiliating.

  Wen Baiyu said: "I'll carry you on my back."

  Guan Nan measured it for a moment and found that carrying on his back seemed to be stronger than holding in his arms. Moreover, he was afraid of this strange man in his heart. In comparison, Wen Baiyu looked more gentle.

  "Blood marrow coldly said: 'No way, his belly can't be pressed.'"

  Guan Nan was stunned for a moment, and her mind went "buzzing" as if she had thought of something, but then shook her head. That strange idea flashed by in an instant. She said: "What does it mean?"

  Xuē Mù didn't respond to him, the rustling sound behind grew louder, Xuē Mù turned his head back, and the red glow in his eyes was somewhat frightening. Suddenly, a "whooshing" sound was heard, and the vines stretched out, entwining each other, forming a large net, just like before, blocking those scorpions behind.

  But those scorpions were not like ants, they carried big claws and started cutting the vines one by one with extremely sharp edges.

  The wisteria was extremely hard and thick, entwined together, those scorpions although numerous, were also blocked, as the crowd ran into the depths of the tomb passage, those scorpions were still struggling with the net woven by the wisteria.

  The crowd ran inside and soon saw the place of sacrifice that Guan Nan had mentioned. It was a large gate, but there was no tomb gate. Inside, it was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

  As the crowd entered the tomb, they heard a dull hum. Turning back to look, they saw that on Blood Jade's shoulders, arms and body, countless blood-red spots suddenly appeared, followed by bleeding.

  Everyone was shocked, those scorpions were blocked behind and didn't come over at all, how could the Blood Marrow be injured?

  Xue Mu glanced at the wounds on his body, his face looking a bit off-color, and then said: "Quickly find the exit of the cave, my vines can't hold back those scorpions anymore."

  As he spoke, another blood stain appeared on his arm, this time deeper, and fresh blood spurted out.

  Xue's face was expressionless, his hand pressed against the wound on his arm, preventing blood from spurting out.

  Wen Baiyu gave a strange look at Wan Jijinghou, and Wan Jijinghou said: "He is now an illusion, those vines are the real body."

  As soon as he said that, Wen Baiyu understood. It turned out that the scorpions were cutting the vines, and the vines were injured, so the blood marrow was also injured.

  Everyone entered the tomb, and Wan Qi Jinghou turned on his flashlight. Soon, he saw that there was indeed a large hole on the altar, next to which was placed a statue. It seemed that someone had moved the statue previously, only then finding this entrance.

  There is a staircase inside the cave entrance, going all the way down, but it's very steep and there are handrails on the side.

  Wan Qi Jing Hou led the way, walking along the cave entrance and soon the entrance became a steep cliff, with stairs built on the wall that could be climbed up and down, but it was very steep, and those stairs were old and creaky, making a cracking sound when stepped on, and it was unknown when they would collapse.

  Guan Nan grasped the handrail, inching her way down, several times her feet slipped and she almost fell off. If she had fallen, it would have been disastrous, she would have definitely hit Wen Baiyu and Wan Jinhao below.

  Guan Nan gripped the handrail with both hands, his clothes were already soaked with sweat, he felt a wave of dizziness and weakness, and didn't know why, suddenly feeling so weak.

  Guan Nan's vision went black, his body moved involuntarily, and his hand loosened its grip. Wen Baiyu looked up to see how far they had climbed down, only to see Guan Nan let go, and he was so frightened that he shouted loudly: "Guan Nan!"

  Guan Nan was startled awake by his shout, and he grabbed with both hands, but didn't catch anything. Just then, Xue Miao suddenly stretched out a hand and grabbed Guan Nan's arm, pulling him up.

  Guannan quickly grabbed the handrail and looked up at Xuemiao with a still frightened expression, saying: "Th-thank you...... thank you......"

  Xue Yu didn't say anything, he just used his eyes to urge him to continue climbing down.

  Guan Nan gritted her teeth and secretly bit the tip of her tongue, feeling a sharp pain that made her feel slightly more alert, and then she continued to climb down with renewed strength.

  "Drip, drip..." Suddenly, something seemed to have fallen on his face. Guan Nan reached out to wipe it off and was shocked to find that it was blood, with some of it having dripped onto his face.

  Guan Nan looked up and saw that Bie Mu's body was covered in wounds of all sizes, with fresh blood flowing down his arm and dripping onto Guan Nan's face.

  Guan Nan was somewhat surprised and said: "You...do you want me to bandage it for you?"

  "Mind your own business."

  Guan Nan's heart sank, his mouth felt blocked, and his face flushed as if he had been slapped. He thought it was useless to care about that person, kindness was being treated as maliciousness.

  Guan Nan's face changed color, and he continued to climb down with his head lowered. The temperament of the blood jade had always been like this. He was always buried deep underground as a burial object, no one paid attention to him, and no one spoke to him. He didn't think about how his own temperament was either, and just now it was just a casual remark.

  Seeing Guan Nan's changed expression, Xue Muo suddenly had a feeling of unease in his heart, and he didn't know why. After a long time, he said: "This is my virtual image, even if it's bandaged, it won't be useful."

  The pit below the tomb was particularly deep and extremely large. Wen Baiyu grabbed the handrail with one hand and shone his flashlight with the other, but it couldn't reach the wall on the opposite side, and the darkness made it impossible to see the bottom.

  Wen Baiyu said: "It can't be the Ninth Heaven again, can it?"

  Wan Xi Jing Hou suddenly said: "There's something below."

  Wen Baiyu quickly climbed down a few steps, excitedly using his flashlight to shine downwards, and indeed saw that there was something below - tree branches!

  Splinters of wood!

  Wen Baiyu could affirm that it was absolutely a fragment of Jianmu, although relatively speaking, this fragment of Jianmu was a bit large, but it was absolutely a fragment of Jianmu. That metallic luster was different from other trees.

  Because it was still too far away from below, Wen Baiyu could only vaguely see a branch of trees. This time the branches were very dense, like a big net, exactly as Guan Shang described.

  Only branches, no leaves, those metallic luster branches sprawling in the dark, with a boundless and slowly incubating illusion.

  Wen Baiyu looked excited, and Yu Wangyang also saw it, saying: "Such a large piece of wood debris, how can we get it out?"

  Tangzi said: "You see this sacrificial place, the deep pit is dug very large. Once we find the peach wood spear and bring it here, even if it grows bigger, it won't pierce through the tomb. Then we can take out the fragments of the Jianmu tree."

  What Tangzi said was indeed true. The deep pit of this sacrifice is really too big, let alone the people of Huai'an country, even ordinary people standing here would not appear to be closed off.

  Such a large pit, and it's completely man-made, with handrails and steps, I don't know how the people of Huian Country did it.

  Just as they were talking, Wen Baiyu's flashlight flickered and she suddenly gasped, "Wait, there's something in the tree..."

  Guan Nan had no flashlight and could only squint her eyes to look down, saying: "What's that?"

  "Can't see clearly... it looks like a person..."

  Person?

  Everyone was shocked and shone their flashlights on the dense branches, where a dark shape was trapped. The shape looked like a person, who was stuck in the dense branches.

  The branch is like a prison, can't go up, can't come down.

  Guannan said: "Who is it? Is it someone from our team? I don't remember anyone being here..."

  As he spoke, he suddenly paused, his face showing extreme fear, his eyes shrinking, his gaze somewhat scattered, his teeth chattering, as if trembling, his complexion and lips turning pale in an instant.

  Wen Baiyu looked down and took a look, but couldn't see clearly. The person was stuck between the branches, face down, and it was impossible to see what he looked like. However, looking at his clothes, all black, it seemed that he was indeed from their team.

  Wen Baiyu said: "Can't see clearly, let's go down and take a look."

  He continued to walk down, but heard a "giggle" sound, as if it was trembling. Wen Baiyu shone his flashlight upwards and suddenly saw Guan Nan's pale face and desperate eyes.

  Wen Baiyu's heart skipped a beat, and Guan Nan felt something again, causing him to reveal such a frightened and desperate gaze?

  Wen Baiyu wanted to call out to him, but Guan Nan was lost in his own fears, somewhat distracted. However, before he could make a sound, Wan Kuang Jinghou suddenly shouted: "Be careful!"

  Then came the sound of "heh heh" from afar, accompanied by a rustling sound. Blood marrow looked up and said, "It's a scorpion."

  Scorpions like waves, a large piece of black pressure, rushing over like a tide, they can climb vertically on the stone wall, and will soon be crushed.

  Tang Zi grasped a military sword in his hand and shouted downwards: "It's coming, quickly climb down!"

  Wan Kuang Jing Hou's movements were swift, and he continued to go down. Wen Bai Yu also couldn't care about anything else, and hurriedly climbed downwards, because this path was straight up and down. If they didn't go down, Tang Zi and Yu Wei Yang above would be fed to the centipedes.

  A rustling sound arose, Guan Nan's movements were very stiff, as if he was thinking about something, mechanically crawling downwards. At this moment, he suddenly let out a "hiss" and a withered corpse face popped up, a glutinous rice ball somehow crawled down from the side of his eyes.

  His face was almost stuck to Guan Nan's, and he smelled a foul odor of rotting flesh. Suddenly, he woke up from his trance, and the zongzi let out a "Kua!" sound, opening its mouth to bite him. Guan Nan's heart skipped a beat; anyway, they were both going to die, but he couldn't let the zongzi bite him to death. With a fierce push against the stone wall, his hands loosened, and he fell down from above.

  Wen Baiyu shouted, and Guan Nan suddenly fell from above. He pushed the stone wall with force, and his body was like a leaf, swooping down in an arc, but did not hit Wan Qi Jinghou and Wen Baiyu.

  "Whoosh——"

  The blood vine suddenly rolled down from behind, and with a quick scoop, it blocked Guan Nan in mid-air.

  The force of Guan Nan's fall suddenly tightened, and he felt suffocated, almost to the point of asphyxiation. His heart was racing wildly, and he thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, he was rescued.

  Everyone saw that Guan Nan was fine and let out a sigh of relief.

  Guan Nan was suspended in mid-air, lifted his head up, wanting to look upwards, but after exerting himself for half a day, he really couldn't see what was above. However, he saw that tree with a metallic sheen...

  He was in mid-air, almost at eye level with the person trapped in the tree, and could see that person just by raising his head.

  That person was facing down, with a short cut of black hair, wearing all black clothes, very thin and almost skeletal, seemingly trapped to death in the branches, exuding an aura of despair.

  Although he was facing down and couldn't see the person's face, Guan Nian could feel a kind of fear, a desperate fear...
