"Giggle-"

"Rumble--"

First, some fist-sized pebbles slid down from the top of the rocky mountain, then thumb-sized cracks appeared on the mountainside! And finally, the cracks grew bigger and bigger!

The entire stone mountain was about to collapse!

Until then.

Ignoring the risk of falling rocks, Jiang Liuli and the others quickly covered their heads with their hands and rushed forward desperately.

Qin An stared intently at the falling rocks!

Once he discovers that the falling rocks are larger than a basketball and could hit someone, he will immediately unleash his sword energy to shatter the boulder into pieces!

[Wait... this rocky hill was perfectly fine before! How come it started collapsing as soon as the archaeological team arrived? Does this archaeological team have some kind of built-in crisis buff?]

[Hiss... Don't say it! You really shouldn't say it!]

[I feel this is a bit too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Why did it have to be this stone mountain symbolizing Yang that collapsed? And I have another question! If stone mountains symbolizing Yin can strengthen the evil spirits in the tomb, why not only place stone mountains symbolizing Yin in the tomb?]

[That's right! Those filthy things have been absorbing yin energy for over five thousand years... Let alone one young man from Qin'an! Even ten young men from Qin'an probably wouldn't be able to defeat them easily, right?]

[What you can think of! Couldn't the people who built Chi You's tomb have thought of it?]

"Then tell me why?"

[I don't know... but Brother Qin An will explain it to us in a little while!]

.................................................. ..

"Boom boom boom——"

The archaeological team had just arrived unharmed when the orange-yellow stone mountain, which was as tall as a five- or six-story building, collapsed with a deafening roar!

A large number of stones were scattered on the ground and piled up on the road!

They even blocked the way the archaeological team had come from.

Fortunately, Qin An told them to hurry over, otherwise they would have been split into two groups by these obstacles.

"Whoa—that scared me to death!"

Exhausted, Xie Wenjing collapsed to the ground. When she had just run forward with all her might, she felt those fist-sized stones falling right next to her ears!

Thankfully, it didn't hit her head!

Otherwise, my life would be in danger.

Before everyone had had enough rest, they suddenly felt the air around them drop by three or four degrees out of nowhere. The air in the tomb was only five or six degrees to begin with, and this drop almost froze the water in their backpacks!

"It's so cold!"

Yang Lele was already a little warm from running.

She was just about to open her down jacket when she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing into the back of her collar, making her quickly wrap herself tighter in her coat.

"Whoohoo-"

In front of the light purple stone mountain was a dark cave.

now.

A chilling wind kept blowing out of the cave!

The archaeological team was caught in a dilemma, unsure whether to stand or retreat.

“This wind is strange…” Qin An frowned.

Hu Jizhou chimed in, "That's definitely not right... This thing is like a cold wind! This down jacket is just for show! It's not our skin that's cold! It's our bones that are cold."

Even as Hu Jizhou spoke, his teeth were chattering.

Hear this.

Everyone gathered around and nodded in agreement!

But Qin An shook his head and said, "No... this wind isn't blowing from the cave in front! It's blowing down from above us! It's just that the wind is so strong that we can't tell which way it's blowing."

Hear this.

Zhang Yunfeng suddenly realized.

He covered his head with his hands, shivering from the cold, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! The wind is definitely blowing down from above our heads! There are many blood vessels on the top of our heads! When that wind blows, a third of the body heat is lost. That's why we feel cold to the bone!"

Upon hearing this.

Everyone quickly followed Zhang Yunfeng's example and covered their heads with their hands.

This hug definitely made me feel much warmer.

"But... why is the wind blowing down from above us? Could it be this yin stone causing trouble?" Jiang Liuli looked at the light purple stone mountain in front of her with a suspicious expression.

Qin An said calmly, "We'll go up and see for ourselves! The rest of you can wait for us down here."

After saying this.

Qin An then borrowed a grappling hook from Hu Jizhou, swung the hook a few times, and then threw it upwards.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The grappling hook gripped firmly in a crevice in the rocky mountain. Qin An then pulled hard on the rope to make sure it was secure before holding Jiang Liuli in his arms.

He grabbed the rope behind the grappling hook with his right hand.

With a powerful kick of his legs on the rocky mountain, Qin An and Jiang Liuli appeared at the summit in the blink of an eye.

Before Jiang Liuli could even experience the feeling of flying... she opened her eyes to a disgusting scene.

"vomit--"

Jiang Liuli leaned on Qin An's shoulder and gagged.

On this light purple stone mountain, there was a dead tree. Due to its great age, the dead tree was black and looked like charcoal.

What made Jiang Liuli gag was... a female corpse hanging from the trunk of a dead tree. The body was dressed in a very simple plain-colored long dress, and the skin and flesh all over her body had turned into a bluish-black dry skin.

His face was pitted and uneven.

There was no moisture in her skin, which caused her skin to stick tightly to her facial bones like tree bark. Her eyes and mouth were hollow, as if someone had hollowed them out.

Because this cold wind kept blowing.

The female mummy hanging from the withered tree was also spinning in mid-air. Sometimes it faced Qin An and Jiang Liuli, and sometimes it turned around like a female ghost and then slowly turned back.

It's no wonder Jiang Liuli was so frightened by this bizarre scene that she gagged.

Upon seeing this female mummy.

Qin An's brows furrowed even deeper!

They had already met Chi You's wife, the Thousand-Faced Fox, so who is the woman who hanged herself on this withered tree now?

And he even hanged himself on the withered tree on the Sky-Mending Stone!

The identity of this female mummy must have been extraordinary in life.

Qin An wanted to use his cultivation technique—Tracing the Light and Tracing the Source—on this female mummy to explore her memories from her previous life.

Seeing Jiang Liuli's pale face, Qin An felt a pang of heartache.

"Should I take you downstairs first?"

Hear this.

A flicker of attraction crossed Jiang Liuli's eyes, but she quickly shook her head and said, "No! I'll stay here with you."

Realizing that Qin An wanted to go forward to check the origin of the female mummy, Jiang Liuli considerately let go of Qin An's arm and then smiled at him to indicate that she was alright.

Qin An knew, of course, that Jiang Liuli was just putting on a brave face.

But the most urgent task is to examine the female mummy's memories before she died!

Then, while you're at it, chop off its head!

To avoid long nights and many dreams.
