The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou and their group stopped as darkness fell and found a place to spend the night.

Because Hengnan Mountain always gave people a very eerie feeling, the group took turns keeping watch at night.

The darker the night, the more silent Hengnan Mountain became.

Such silence, though seemingly quiet, inexplicably makes one feel uneasy.

A night of vigilance, yet nothing happened.

The next day, when the first rays of sunlight shone into Hengnan Mountain, the warm light poured down, gilding the trees and flowers with a soft golden hue.

This situation somehow gave the place a sense of life.

The group's journey ended before a desolate hilltop.

It's called a hill, but it's more like a small one.

The earthen slope was barren and desolate, with no grass or trees growing on it, which seemed out of place with the lush surrounding environment.

The stream disappears here, as if it were cut off here.

Common sense told Fang Qingyou that the source of the stream was not here, and for some reason, this earthen slope felt like a tomb to her.

Xuanzhu and Xuanlan's expressions were exceptionally cold. This earthen slope gave them a very unusual feeling, but so far they had not been able to figure it out.

Even Luo Qianmo, whose eyes were usually indifferent, now showed a hint of seriousness.

Xuan Zhu felt once again that they had made a mistake; not bringing Xuan Huang this time was a huge oversight.

In fact, Luo Qianmo originally sent Xuan Lan and the others to scout ahead, but when Xuan Lan arrived in Jingzhi County, everything seemed unusually calm on the surface.

Although that river was filthy, it was not the blood-red color it is now, and there were no Gu worms there back then.

That's why Xuanlan immediately returned to bring back the message to Luo Qianmo.

However, he did not expect that in just ten days, what he saw and heard had become a completely different situation.

If I had known how dangerous this place was, this journey wouldn't have been so difficult.

Originally, they expected to return to Lingnan City in half a month, but now it will probably be delayed to at least a month.

After half a day, a huge explosion resounded through the mountains.

"Bam—"

Fang Qingyou knew that Xuan Zhu, Xuan Lan and the others were investigating the mystery of the hillside, but she was still startled by the huge commotion they made.

Are Xuanzhu and Xuanlan really not planning to blow up this hillside?

As the loud noise rang out, the ground beneath our feet trembled violently as if an earthquake had struck.

"Boom—" At the same time, the soil that was originally covering the hillside began to fall down in a flurry, and after the yellow dust settled, a huge stone gate was revealed in the original spot.

The deafening rumble was the sound of the stone door opening upwards.

The scene suddenly overlapped with a situation in a certain movie or TV series, causing Fang Qingyou to be stunned for a moment.

Could it be that the pure and innocent Little Dragon Girl from the Ancient Tomb Sect lives in here?

The stone door opened, and the chilling, eerie aura that emanated from within instantly made Fang Qingyou angrily extinguish the thought.

The creature living inside must be an old monster of the Black Mountain Demon level, how could it possibly be a goddess like Little Dragon Girl?!

While Fang Qingyou was still in a daze, Xuan Zhu's labored voice rang out: "Hurry up, I can't hold on much longer."

The voice seemed to be squeezed out from within his body, making it clear how hard he was working.

Fang Qingyou glanced at Xuan Zhu and saw that his hands were pressing hard on two points next to the stone door, as if he had used up all his strength. His face was flushed red, and just looking at him made her feel very tired.

Just then, Yuefei's voice rang in my ears: "Girl, let's go."

In the next instant, Yuefei had already escorted Fang Qingyou through the stone gate.

Fang Qingyou wanted to ask, seeing how hard Xuan Zhu was working, whether he had opened the stone door using the correct mechanism.

If the stone door suddenly closed after they entered, given Xuan Zhu's skill in deciphering mechanisms, would they still be able to leave?

"Boom—" Almost the moment Fang Qingyou had this thought, the stone door that was originally open suddenly collapsed.

In that instant, Xuan Zhu's figure tumbled down from the stone door and came in.

For some reason, seeing Xuan Zhu panting heavily, Fang Qingyou felt that he was unreliable.

If Xuan Zhu could hear Fang Qingyou's inner thoughts, she would definitely burst into tears of grievance.

He went through a lot of trouble to open the mechanism on this mound. He knows his methods were a bit violent, but please at least respect his efforts. At the very least, you should have absolute trust in him.

Now, they are all inside the stone gate.

In an instant, all the light disappeared, and everyone was plunged into darkness, experiencing temporary blindness.

"Whoosh—" However, the darkness only lasted for a moment, because soon the sound of lights burning rang out from the spot.

However, a sound suddenly broke the silence, and even though it brought them light, it immediately put everyone on alert.

With the light in, the group soon discovered that they were in a long tunnel.

The passageway is not straight, but winding, so that one can only see a section in front of them, but cannot see where the passageway ends.

Although the passageway was winding, its width remained constant, estimated to be two meters wide, and the walls were covered with rusty candlesticks.

For some reason, the rust on the candlestick had a reddish tinge, which always made people think of bloodstains. In addition, the oil lamp on it was burning something, and a strong, strange, fishy smell kept emanating from it, which made people's scalps tingle.

Fang Qingyou was carefully discerning the strange smell when her expression quickly changed: "Everyone, quickly cover your mouths and noses! This is the Bone-Corroding Incense!"

Upon hearing the words "Bone-Corroding Fragrance," everyone's expression changed, and even Luo Qianmo's indifferent and cold demeanor cracked slightly.

Everyone had heard of the name "Bone-Corroding Incense," a poisonous fragrance that could invisibly dissolve a person's physical strength.

Unlike drugs such as sleeping potions and bone-softening powders that can only temporarily weaken a person, bone-corroding incense can permanently erode a person's physical strength, making the body increasingly weak. If an antidote is not found in time, it can even lead to exhaustion and death.

When that person died, his body was limp and limp like mud, as if his bones had been removed, hence the name "Bone-Corroding Fragrance".

Rumor has it that it was just a legendary poisonous incense, the recipe of which has long been lost, but they never expected to encounter such a poisonous incense here.
