Chapter 1616
Huo Jilin said, "Thank you, senior, but this ancient tomb seems to hide many secrets. Can you please tell me one or two?"
The mysterious figure snorted coldly: "Some things, knowing too much is not a good thing."
Hu Bayi said: "Senior, we promise not to leak a single bit."
The mysterious figure hesitated for a moment and said slowly: "This ancient tomb was built by this king to protect the family's secrets. The traps in it are all to prevent outsiders from entering."
Huo Jilin asked: "I wonder what the secret is?"
The mysterious figure shook his head: "This is a family secret and cannot be told. You should leave quickly."
Huo Jilin and Hu Bayi had no choice but to say goodbye to the mysterious figure and continue to look for the exit.
"Old Huo, this time is really thrilling." Hu Bayi said.
Huo Jilin smiled: "Yes, but it is also a rare experience."
They wandered around in the ancient tomb and finally found a passage leading to the outside world.
"Finally, we can go out." Hu Bayi said excitedly.
The two climbed out of the ancient tomb along the passage and saw the light of day again, their hearts full of emotion.
"We should be more cautious in the future." Huo Jilin said.
Hu Bayi nodded: "Yes, this time I have learned a lesson."
The two smiled at each other and set off on their return journey.
Huo Jilin and Hu Bayi had just returned to their temporary residence when they heard a noise.
They walked into the house quickly and saw Wang Kaixuan lying on the ground with a pale face, surrounded by people anxiously.
"What's going on?" Huo Jilin asked.
"He was accidentally bitten by a king snake!" Someone answered.
Huo Jilin frowned and his heart sank. The king snake is extremely toxic. If it is not treated in time, Wang Kaixuan's life will be in danger.
Hu Bayi said anxiously: "Old Huo, we have to find a way to save Old Wang!"
Huo Jilin's eyes were firm: "Don't worry, I will find a way."
He immediately went out and asked around for ways to cure the king snake venom.
After some twists and turns, he learned that there was a mysterious witch doctor living in a remote mountain forest, who might be able to cure Wang Kaixuan.
Huo Jilin did not hesitate at all and immediately embarked on the journey to find the witch doctor.
After going through hardships and dangers, he finally found the witch doctor's residence.
It was a simple wooden house, surrounded by the strange aroma of herbs.
Huo Jilin went forward and knocked on the door, which slowly opened, and an old man with a vicissitudes of life appeared in front of him.
"What is disturbing my peace?" The witch doctor said in a low voice.
Huo Jilin said quickly: "Senior, my friend was bitten by the king snake and is in danger. I beg you to help."
The witch doctor looked him up and down: "The king snake venom is not easily cured."
Huo Jilin said eagerly: "As long as you can save him, I will agree to any conditions."
The witch doctor was silent for a moment and said: "Come in with me."
Huo Jilin followed the witch doctor into the house, only to see that the house was filled with all kinds of strange bottles and herbs.
The witch doctor sat on the chair and said slowly: "You can save him, but you need to do something for me."
Huo Jilin answered without hesitation: "Senior, please tell me."
The witch doctor said: "In the valley to the west, there is a rare herb called Lingmeng grass. You need to pick it for me."
Huo Jilin nodded: "Okay, I'll go now."
He rushed to the valley to the west without stopping. The valley was filled with fog and full of unknown dangers.
Huo Jilin carefully looked for Lingmeng grass.
"Where is this Lingmeng grass?" Huo Jilin was anxious.
Just then, a huge monster suddenly appeared and blocked his way.
"Get out of the way! I don't have time to tangle with you!" Huo Jilin shouted angrily.
The monster was unmoved and rushed towards him with its claws and teeth bared. Huo Jilin had to fight with it.
After a fierce battle, Huo Jilin finally defeated the monster and continued to look for Lingmeng grass.
Finally, he found the figure of Lingmeng grass on the edge of a cliff.
Huo Jilin approached carefully and successfully picked Lingmeng grass. He immediately returned to the witch doctor's residence.
"Senior, I picked Lingmeng grass!" Huo Jilin shouted.
The witch doctor took the Lingmeng grass and nodded: "Not bad, it's timely."
He began to prepare the antidote for Wang Kaixuan. Huo Jilin waited anxiously on the side.
"Okay, give him this antidote." The witch doctor handed over a bowl of dark green potion.
Huo Jilin quickly returned to Wang Kaixuan with the antidote and gave it to him.
After a while, Wang Kaixuan's complexion gradually improved and his breathing became stable.
"Old Wang, how do you feel?" Hu Bayi asked with concern.
Wang Kaixuan opened his eyes weakly: "I feel much better, thank you."
Huo Jilin breathed a sigh of relief:"It's good that you're okay."
Wang Kaixuan looked at Huo Jilin: "Old Huo, this time it's all thanks to you."
Huo Jilin smiled: "We are brothers, this is what we should do."
At this time, the witch doctor walked in.
Huo Jilin hurriedly thanked: "Senior, thank you for saving my life."
The witch doctor waved his hand: "Forget it, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Just be more careful in the future."
Everyone nodded.
After a period of recuperation, Wang Kaixuan completely recovered.
After Wang Kaixuan recovered, everyone thanked the witch doctor profusely.
However, just as they were about to leave, they found that the atmosphere around them became more and more weird.
Whoosh!
The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and strong winds.
Huo Jilin had an ominous premonition in his heart. He looked around vigilantly and said, "Everyone be careful, something is wrong."
Hu Bayi also tightened his weapon and responded, "This sudden change is probably not that simple."
At this time, the witch doctor showed a strange smile on his face and said slowly, "Do you think the matter is over? Too naive!"
Everyone was shocked. Wang Kaixuan widened his eyes and shouted, "What do you mean by this? Do you have any other conspiracy?"
The witch doctor laughed: "Humph, from the moment you stepped into this place, you are destined to become my prey."
Huo Jilin glared at : "What on earth do you want to do? We are full of gratitude to you, but you repay kindness with hatred!"
The witch doctor sneered: "Gratitude? How much is gratitude worth in this world? What I need is the power in you!"
Hu Bayi asked puzzledly: "The power in us? What are you talking about?"
The witch doctor said grimly: "You have experienced so many dangers, and you have accumulated powerful spiritual energy and fortune. As long as I absorb these, I can become invincible in the world!"
Wang Kaixuan cursed: "You despicable guy, we will never let you succeed!"
The witch doctor waved his hands, and a powerful force bound everyone.
"It's not up to you!"
Just when everyone was in despair, Wang Kaixuan suddenly laughed.
The witch doctor frowned and shouted: "You are about to die, and you can still laugh?"
Wang Kaixuan stopped laughing and said: "Do you think we are really defenseless? We have been prepared long before you showed your true face!"
