Chapter 1359
Huo Jilin stood in front of the coffin in a daze.
His mind kept replaying Qilian's figure just now.
He thought he knew a lot about Qilian.
He always regarded him as a close brother.
But now.
What lay in the coffin was Qilian's body.
This made him hard to accept for a while.
"Master Huo."
"How... how is this possible?"
Wang Kaixuan said in a trembling voice.
Huo Jilin slowly turned his head.
He looked stunned.
"I don't know either."
The young man patted Huo Jilin's shoulder.
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
"Let's take a look at the body first."
Everyone nodded.
But they couldn't hide their fear in their hearts.
Suddenly.
A discontinuous and low shout came from the depths of the tomb.
Everyone froze.
"Someone is calling for help! Go and see!"
After the young man spoke, he quickly rushed to the direction where the sound came from.
Everyone followed closely.
After some searching.
They finally found the exit at the end of the corridor.
The exit led to a huge underground space.
In this space there were more ancient coffins and decayed bones.
And in the center.
A young woman in a locked iron cage kept trembling and shouting.
"Help me! Help me!"
The woman cried.
Her eyes revealed great fear.
Huo Jilin and the young man exchanged a look.
The two rushed to the iron cage where the woman was imprisoned.
Without any hesitation.
They dismantled the iron cage.
But they found that this seemingly simple cage was extremely strong.
"Come up and help!"
Huo Jilin shouted to others.
Wang Kaixuan was the first to come forward to help.
"Everyone hurry up."
"Let's go together!"
Everyone started to work.
They tried hard to pull and pry the iron cage.
But they could not loosen it at all.
Just when they were frustrated.
The iron cage suddenly made a loud noise.
It made everyone's ears tingle.
A golden light flashed.
The iron cage turned into powder.
The woman standing next to the iron cage squatted on the ground with her head in her hands.
She was shaking.
As her breathing gradually stabilized.
She raised her head.
Her eyes stayed on Huo Jilin.
"Thank you."
"You saved me."
The woman's voice was a little choked.
Huo Jilin's heart was beating.
He seemed to have noticed something.
"Who are you? Why are you imprisoned here?"
The woman paused.
Tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.
"I am Yang Zhihui."
"My father was chased by debt collectors."
"I came here to take refuge."
"But I didn't expect to be found by them."
"And locked in an iron cage."
Hearing her name.
Everyone was slightly stunned.
"Yang Zhihui?"
The young man whispered slowly.
"Could it be..."
Wang Kaixuan's eyes revealed a trace of fear.
"Could she be the princess in the ancient tomb?"
Everyone exchanged glances.
Unbelievable.
According to legend.
The princess was trapped in an ancient tomb.
Unable to leave.
And now.
This seemingly ordinary woman actually called herself Zhihui.
"We can't stay here any longer."
Shirley Yang said, holding the oil-paper umbrella tightly in her hand.
"We must leave here as soon as possible."
Wang Kaixuan nodded in agreement.
"There is no time to lose."
"Then let's go."
Everyone looked around vigilantly.
However.
At the moment they turned around to leave.
A vague figure appeared in the tomb.
"You are finally here."
Qi Lian stood there.
His smile revealed vicissitudes and fatigue.
"I have been waiting for you."
Everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
They couldn't understand the meaning of Qi Lian's series of actions.
"Qi Lian!"
Huo Ji Lin looked at him and couldn't help shouting.
Doubt appeared in his eyes.
Qi Lian smiled.
He didn't say anything.
He just waved to everyone.
"Let's go."
"There are still many things waiting for us."
Everyone nodded silently.
Now that they have come here.
They have no room to retreat.
Huo Ji Lin took a deep breath.
Trying to calm the waves in his heart.
Behind him.
Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi followed closely.
The footsteps of several people echoed in the empty underground.
"It's in front."
Qi Lian's voice was low and calm.
Breaking the silence.
Crossing a bloody river.
They came to the secret room under the main tomb.
It looked particularly strange here.
The lake is connected to the river.
It seems that the two are jointly guarding this forbidden land.
Growing by the lakeThe flowers that look like human faces.
They swayed in the dim light.
It was chilling.
"These flowers..."
Hu Bayi frowned.
"It looks unlucky."
Wang Kaixuan looked at the human face flowers.
He was curious.
He wanted to pick them and take a look.
"Damn."
"This flower can bite people!"
Wang Kaixuan pulled back his bleeding finger.
He shouted.
Huo Jilin didn't say anything.
He just stared at the box on the black open space in the middle of the lake.
The box looked old and rotten.
There were unclear runes engraved around it.
Wang Kaixuan asked cautiously.
"What did Qilian bring us here for? Go and get the box?"
Huo Jilin remained calm.
"Let's wait and see."
"See what he means."
It was terribly quiet.
Everyone could hear the sound of their heartbeats speeding up.
Shirley Yang on the side tightly grasped the oil-paper umbrella in her hand.
She did not speak.
Her expression was ferocious.
I don't know what she was thinking.
Huo Jilin's eyes were like knives.
He swept through every corner in the dim tomb.
Qi Lian's sudden action made his heart tighten.
But he seemed to have thought of something.
He did not act immediately.
Instead, he kept a wait-and-see attitude.
Qi Lian grabbed Shirley Yang without warning.
Her eyes, which were originally empty and lifeless, now showed fear.
Before everyone could react.
Qi Lian had already thrown her into the blood-red lake.
The lake water boiled instantly.
It seemed that some power was awakened.
"Shirley!"
Hu Bayi shouted loudly.
He was about to rush forward.
Wang Kaixuan's eyes widened.
For a moment, he forgot to act.
When he came to his senses.
He was the first to rush to the lake to try to rescue.
"Shirley Yang! Don't be afraid! I'm coming!"
He roared.
The voice echoed in the room.
Huo Jilin frowned.
He did not move casually.
But he stared at Qilian and the boiling blood lake.
He knew there must be something fishy.
"Wait!"
Huo Jilin said in a low voice.
"Don't act rashly."
Wang Kaixuan stopped.
He turned to look at Huo Jilin.
He was anxious, "But Shirley..."
"Don't worry."
Huo Jilin interrupted Wang Kaixuan.
"Now we need to figure out what happened."
Just then.
Shirley Yang's painful groan came from the blood lake.
She struggled to climb out of the water.
But it seemed that an invisible force dragged her under the water.
Hu Bayi clenched his fists.
"Then we can't just watch!"
Huo Jilin still didn't move at all.
He also stopped other people who wanted to rescue.
Huo Jilin's arms held Wang Kaixuan tightly like an iron clamp.
