Stepping into this ancient and mysterious tomb, what came into view was a long and dark corridor. The darkness was as thick as ink, as if it was going to swallow up all the light. The pitch-black environment made everyone feel a little fearful and uneasy.

The air was filled with a strong damp smell, a rotten smell left over from the years. It was disgusting. With every breath I took, I could feel the odor going up my nose into my lungs, irritating my throat.

At this moment, a cold wind suddenly whistled past. This gust of wind came without any warning, penetrating the clothes with a hint of coldness and reaching the skin. When the wind blew over the body, the icy feeling made people shiver involuntarily, and goose bumps instantly appeared on their bodies.

After walking forward for about half a quarter of an hour, the front suddenly opened up and a large-scale and majestic underground palace appeared before our eyes. This underground palace covers a very large area, as if there is no end in sight. Standing at the entrance of the underground palace, everyone couldn't help but feel awe.

What surprised them the most was that there were eight passages in the wide underground palace, leading to different places. These passages were of different widths, some were wide enough to accommodate several people walking side by side, and some were so narrow that only one person could pass through.

Each passage is deep and winding. At a glance, you can't see the end at all. You don't know whether the end of the passage is a treasure room or hell. It is full of mystery and unknown, which makes people excited and a little scared.

"Oh my God, how should we choose? Won't we step on a mechanism?" Some people were frightened and dared not take a step.

"Among three short and one long, choose the long one. Among three long and one short, choose the middle one. Brother Zhang, let's go this way. I'm lucky and I never make a wrong choice." A man gestured with his fingers flying, and finally pulled his companion to a passage in the corner.

“……Didn’t you say to choose the middle?” The man who was being dragged away looked puzzled.

"It's okay. I just took a glance and this is the right one. Just listen to me, I promise we can return with a full load." The voices were getting farther and farther away, and soon the figures of the two were hidden in the black passage.

“………Is this possible?” Someone at the back muttered to himself as he watched the disappearing figure.

"How about we follow them? And choose this route as well?"

"Is there something wrong with your head? Stop talking nonsense, let's go and take this passage," a man pushed the talking brain to the nearest passage on the right.

Then more people walked into the passage, and soon only Fu Ling'er and her group were left in the hall of the underground palace.

"Sister Ling, which passage should we choose?"

"I'm not sure either. I always feel that this so-called tomb is not what it seems, but if you ask me what's strange about it, I can't tell you. Yuan, how about we just choose..."

At this moment, Fu Ling'er was interrupted by a sound coming from a passage on the left. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw someone shouting for help getting closer and closer in the passage.

"Ah, help, help."

"Hurry, run. Ah, don't step on me..."

"Go away, go away, ah, save me."

"Oh my god, soul-eating beasts, it's a group of soul-eating beasts, run away quickly,"

Boom, boom, boom. A large number of cultivators exited the passage and returned to the underground palace hall.

I'm not afraid of one soul-eating beast, but who would dare to fight a group of soul-eating beasts?

If you don't run now, when will you wait?

"Oh no, Ling'er, let's go." Wanqi Yuan pulled Fu Ling'er and rushed to the opposite passage, and his friends behind followed quickly.

The cultivators who retreated back to the hall were in a panic and just randomly chose a passage to run into.

Wanqi Yuan pulled Fu Ling'er and ran forward. After nearly a hundred meters, there was another fork in the road.

The two of them ran to the left fork without hesitation, and their friends followed closely.

The soul-eating beast, I haven't seen it yet, but just hearing the crunching sounds of it tearing flesh and chewing bones is enough to make people shudder.

Don't run, just wait for its sharp claws to pounce on you?

Fu Ling'er and Wanqi Yuan ran all the way, and on the way they encountered a group of monks being chased by soul-eating beasts. They ran again, and encountered countless forks in the road. There was no time to choose, and they had to rely on their feelings.

Suddenly, a stone gate appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

"Hurry. Find the mechanism button." Wanqi Yuan thought for a moment and immediately began to fumble around the stone door. Seeing this, several people also followed suit to look for the mechanism button.

From the passage behind them came bursts of roars and the wailings of the monks. The strong wind caused by the fierce fighting seemed to have blown to their ears.

"Hurry, hurry, search quickly," everyone groped quickly on the wall.

"Ah, here, I found it." Xiao Zi shouted in the corner and punched the loose stone. "Bang", the stone broke, revealing the mechanism button inside. Without hesitation, Xiao Zi pressed it hard.

"Ka...kaka, rumble," the gears of the mechanism turned slowly and clicked like an old ox. The stone door opened little by little.

"Hurry up, hurry up," everyone said to themselves, feeling anxious.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air was heard from behind, and Wanqi Yuan behind the crowd instinctively swung out the black blade.

"clang," a sharp claw was cut off and fell to the ground.

"Roar, roar, roar." A tall soul-eating beast stared at its broken claw, its bell-like eyes widening with rage burning in them. Then it looked towards Wanqi Yuan fiercely, and roared from its bloody mouth.

"Roar..." A tall figure suddenly pounced towards Wanqi Yuan.

At this critical moment,

"Come in quickly." Fu Ling'er yelled, and she stood inside the stone door with her hand on the button to close the door. Seeing this, the friends immediately dodged and rushed into the stone door. Then, Fu Ling'er immediately pressed the button, and the stone door slowly closed.

"Yuan, come in quickly," Wanqi Yuan saw this and flashed in, brushing against the edge of the stone door.

The soul-eating beast pounced with its claws, but failed to touch the corner of Wanqi Yuan's clothes, and the stone door closed with a "bang".

The angry soul-eating beast punched the stone door, but the stone door did not move at all.

Everyone leaned against the stone door, breathing heavily with lingering fear.

"Oh my god, it's so exciting. It was almost there, just a little bit, and I saw several of them jumping up," Xuan Chen patted his chest, expressing how scared he was.

"Of course not. The Soul Eater is really ugly, disgusting. Flesh and blood are just appetizers to it. What it likes most is to suck souls, and it doesn't even have the chance to reincarnate."

"Okay, let's take a rest and keep going. I hope there will be unexpected surprises in here." Fu Ling'er greeted and looked around the situation inside the stone gate.

This is a stone cave, and also the deepest part of the tomb. Compared with the previous underground palace, the stone cave is much rougher.

There is a high platform in the center of the cave. On the platform where the coffin should have been placed, there is only a stone box half a person's height.

Apart from this, there is nothing else. I guess the most precious thing is in that stone box.
