The clouds and mists have dispersed, and everyone knows that I love you.

Finished!

Shi Rong panicked and hurriedly gave orders to the people who were still standing there in a daze.

"Come on!"

As the little woman spoke, her light body began to run, crawl, lie down, and lunge forward in a series of smooth movements.

With a whoosh, he slipped away through the gap which was already less than 1 meter wide.

"coming!"

Huo Jiuzhou and Shi Yang followed closely behind, and both rushed out of the door using their respective expertise in the 'flat ground wandering' method.

Next came Chu Yu, Xing Jiashan, Song Qianchen, Du Wu, and then it was the turn of Xie Yixiushi, who was at the end of the team.

His usually strong and well-developed chest muscles were unexpectedly stuck between the stone gate and the sand, unable to move, and he cried out in pain.

"Hey…"

Shi Rong and Shi Yang were startled and quickly brought people forward to help.

Chu Yu and Song Qianchen, who were born with supernatural powers, were responsible for lifting the thousand-pound stone door to delay its closing time.

Xing Jiashan and Du Wu dug the sand with their bare hands, trying to create a larger gap for Xie Yixiu to escape.

Shi Rong, Huo Jiuzhou, and Shi Yang dragged the man's limbs, pulling and tugging him.

After working hard for more than a minute, we finally brought the person out safely.

"Are you okay?"

The gas mask on Xie Yixiu's face, which was originally intact, was cracked by the group of crazy mutant bats.

Shi Rong was so angry that he almost laughed.

"Their fangs really weren't grown in vain!"

Xie Yixiu stood up with difficulty with the help of Shi Yang and Chu Yu.

"Of course! Not only are they not in vain, but I've also observed them up close and they attack incredibly fast every time.

It is almost 15-20 times the size of an ordinary bat. Its eyes are red, as if it is possessed by evil spirits. It becomes extremely excited as soon as it sees a living person.

Through the filter respirator, I could vaguely smell a strange odor on them, like the stench of rotten acid mixed with corpse oil.

I guess someone must have secretly given them something sinister before, which is why they became so violent.

Finally, I have to complain that Liu Xiqian, this wicked old ghost, is so mean!

As soon as I looked back, he was already in my way.

If I hadn't been wearing a hood and a mask, they would have eaten my face off."

Shi Rong raised a snow-white little hand to help him smooth out his violently heaving chest.

“Okay, okay…don’t be angry, for everyone’s safety.

Let's go out and find a place to re-examine the battle strategy. I was negligent before.

By the way, I'll give you a new mask, let's go."

The group returned to the entrance of the sand cave for the second time, and Shi Rong found a place with his back to the sun.

Chu and two others were asked to lay four layers of waterproof and heat-insulating PTFE nylon membrane cloth on the ground.

Shi Rong took off the hood and veil from her full armor, sat on the ground, and took a few breaths.

He opened his mouth to explain why he suddenly made them run for their lives.

“I originally thought that the poisonous water droplets on the rock wall of the outer cave were the natural enemies of the mutant bats.

But it was not until I walked into the inner cave that I realized that my judgment was wrong.

The reason is that the green dots on the surface of ordinary mutant bats do not glow.

The reason why the bats here glow is because someone maliciously feeds them a large amount of dark things, causing them to undergo secondary mutations.

If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Wen Ruyi.

As for the food he fed, it was mostly fried corpses, so it gave off the stench of sour corpse oil.

As a widely acclaimed founding father of the Yuan and Jin dynasties, Liu Xiqian's noble character goes without saying.

It was a bit of a loss, but his actions were limited to tempering everyone's will in different ways during each time we answered the questions.

This can be seen from the fact that we were able to spend two days in the desert illusion safely without any sneak attack.

Moreover, Liu Xiqian did not have the right channels and obtained too many fried corpses at one time.

Because he died in the court more than 600 years ago and was carried out for burial that day.

He has been trapped in the tomb, and has not imitated ordinary evil ghosts to stay in the human world and do evil.

From this, it can be seen that the door of the inner cave was not closed by force by him on purpose.

It was a secret door set up by Wen Ruyi. The evidence was that everything in the sand cave looked classical and old, full of a sense of historical vicissitudes.

Only this door is a completely new modern product.

As for the principle behind it, I can’t figure it out for the time being, but I guess it’s just a simple mechanism like automatic sensing.

The water droplets on the rock wall outside the cave are indeed highly poisonous, but they are not ordinary water, they are "Bracts".

It was a malignant infectious disease that was prevalent in the pre-Tang Dynasty. It could spread from one person to a hundred people within one second, and could be called the ancestor of the ancient version of "radioactive elements."

The reason why the mutant bats dare not come out is because they are worried about contracting the disease and spreading it to their teammates, resulting in the annihilation of the entire army.

So they can only live in groups in the inner cave to save their lives, and this is also the result that Wen Ruyi wants.

Simply put, he needed people or corpses to feed the bats continuously, and by taming them, he could make them his accomplices in dominating the North City in the future.

It just so happens that the third question in Liu Xiqian’s desert illusion, the species used to disrupt human willpower, is the mutant bat.

This also explains why such a lazy person like him insisted on visiting this ancient tomb.

Because he wanted to get Liu Xiqian's bat as a weapon for self-defense, he placed the Vermillion Bird egg at the entrance of the second level.

To get to the second illusion gate, you must cross the desert, but if you want to get out of the desert, you must fight bats.

To put it bluntly, this is an unavoidable vicious cycle.

Because that group of bats, now fed by him, can stand on their own, and basically no one can beat them.

The same principle applies to everything he had carefully arranged in the Huo family cemetery before.

All these strategies, one after another, were specially prepared by him for the Huo family.

Although he was angry that Huo Yan asked the Tripartite Intelligence Bureau to intervene before his formation was finalized, thus ruining his plan.

Fortunately, the devouring mist will soon be injected into Huo Jiuzhou's body, and once the Huo family realizes that their grandson is poisoned.

He will investigate North City thoroughly at all costs and will soon make Wen Ruyi the target of suspicion.

That will be the time when he can officially break off relations with the four of you.

He will also tell you openly that the antidote is under his house, at the entrance to the second level of the Yuanjin Ancient Tomb.

In order to detoxify, Huo Yan could only send someone to get it, but ordinary people could not recognize anything here.

Even if he could answer the first two questions correctly by chance, he would still be in danger of death when it came to the third question, which required his help.

That's why he chose to focus on bats, understand?"

Shi Rong's long and detailed speech made him almost cry!

She took the energy drink that Shi Yang handed to her, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped her shiny little mouth.
