As the giant centipede fell, Ye Chuyin's attention was attracted to a hidden crevice where it had originally been hiding.

Her intuition told her that this might be the entrance to some mysterious place.

She carefully removed the dense vines and thick dust covering the cracks in the stone, revealing some ancient stone carvings, as if they were symbols calling her into another time and space.

At this moment, Lin Sinian and others arrived at the scene, and they quickly helped Yuan Ziyi, who was in a poor condition, up.

"Fu Yuan hasn't been found yet. You guys take Zi Yi back first and I'll look for her."

"But..." Lin Sinian was still hesitant to speak.

Ye Chuyin had no time to hesitate. She interrupted him in a firm tone, leaving no room for rebuttal:

"No buts, when have I ever been in trouble? Trust me! Get out!"

Yuan Hanyi witnessed all of this, and noticed that his elder brother's eyes were always gently but firmly fixed on Ye Chuyin. He said to the others:

"I'll stay with her, you guys go out first!"

Yuan Hanyi and Lin Sinian looked at each other and after a moment's silence, they, together with Lin Feng and the other two, supported Yuan Ziyi and left this dangerous area.

As they were leaving, Ye Chuyin solemnly warned them, "Remember! Don't let anyone else come in!"

"Yes!"

Ye Chuyin turned to Qi Mofeng with a questioning look in her eyes.

Qi Mofeng understood, and he responded in a deep voice: "Yinyin, I am quite knowledgeable about mechanisms, and my own martial arts skills are enough to protect myself."

After a brief thought, Ye Chuyin nodded in agreement: "Okay! I can bring you along, but don't cause me any trouble."

She has always disliked people who don't listen to advice and cause trouble for her.

The two stood in front of the ancient stone door, the mysterious symbols on it looked like a key to another world.

The vines spreading on the stone gate turned to ashes under Ye Chuyin's purple flame, revealing the true appearance of the stone gate.

It turned out to be an ancient stone gate, with a series of stone grids in the center similar to the nine-square grid on a mobile phone, and each grid was carved with strange and complex patterns.

The ancient and heavy atmosphere around is mixed with bursts of damp and dark smells of decay, as if guarding an eternal secret.

Ye Chuyin studied these ancient symbols carefully. She stretched out her slender fingers and gently touched the cold stone surface. Every time she pressed, there was a faint echo coming from deep within the stone gate.

Just as she was concentrating on deciphering the nine-square grid, a cold wind blew in from the darkness, carrying with it a creepy growl.

The darkness surged like a living thing, and countless eyes flashing with evil light gathered towards them from all sides.

Corpse worms, ghosts, and other unspeakable strange existences seemed to be stimulated by the unsealing action. They woke up one after another and wanted to drag the two into endless darkness.

Ye Chuyin swung the whip swiftly, and the end of the whip tightly wrapped around Qi Mofeng's waist.

She pulled him close to her with all her strength and wrapped her arms around him. While holding Qi Mofeng tightly to ensure his safety, she swung the whip in her hand at the monsters that were approaching her, burning all the approaching corpse worms to ashes.

At the same time, Qi Mofeng looked at the slender fingers on his waist, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.

Ye Chuyin's hand quickly left his waist, and he had to turn to the stone gate. His keen insight allowed him to quickly capture the subtle connection between the symbols.

After careful observation and deliberation, he finally found the clue to unlock it and triggered all the symbols in one go according to a specific order.

There was a constant rustling sound coming from the distance, which made people feel uneasy.

Ye Chuyin calmly took out a talisman from her backpack, muttered something, and threw it. The yellow paper talisman burned in the air and turned into a dazzling light.

That beam of light was like an invisible sword, instantly cutting off the oppression of darkness, causing those creatures that were about to make a move to scream and retreat.

Despite the temporary relief, more head-scratching crawling noises continued to be heard.

Ye Chuyin formed seals with her hands and built a solid barrier around her.

The overwhelming number of corpse worms crawled all over the transparent barrier wall, but they could not cross it even a little bit.

During this brief respite, Qi Mofeng sped up his movements, his fingers moving lightly and firmly on the stone grid, like a skilled pianist jumping on the keyboard.

Finally, with his efforts, the last symbol was successfully triggered.

The stone door emitted a series of deep and rhythmic resonating sounds, and slowly slid open to the sides, revealing a staircase leading deep underground.

Ye Chuyin and Qi Mofeng looked at each other, and there was a hint of trust in Ye Chuyin's eyes that she herself did not even notice.

As they stepped into the ancient tomb, a cold air rushed towards them, as if even time had stopped here.

The sound of their footsteps echoed in the tomb, and each one was like a war drum beating on their hearts.

Ye Chuyin held the flashlight tightly, and the beam of light lingered on the murals on the wall, depicting ancient myths and legends.

Just as they were exploring further, there was a sudden click and Ye Chuyin's flashlight went out, shrouding them in darkness.

Ye Chuyin's heart beat faster. She did not open her third eye to see the entire scene, just to experience the thrilling feeling for herself.

She could even feel Qi Mofeng's nervous heartbeat.

In this silent darkness, Qi Mofeng stretched out his warm big palm and held Ye Chuyin's hand tightly.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

Qi Mofeng's voice was low and firm, and his words were like a warm current that seemed to flow into Ye Chuyin's heart.

Ye Chuyin was slightly stunned. Apart from the Ye family, no one had ever asked her if she was afraid, and no one had ever been her support.

Perhaps it was because the temperature of Qi Mofeng's palm was too hot. Ye Chuyin was stunned for a moment and then pulled her hand back.

Her heartbeat was a little faster, and she said uncomfortably, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I have this."

There was a duck egg-sized luminous pearl in his hand, and instantly, the space became bright again.

Qi Mofeng said with a slight smile on his face: "Okay, Yinyin is not afraid, it's me who is afraid."

Ye Chuyin ignored Qi Mofeng's words and turned to walk forward:

"Keep going forward and take a look. I want to see if there are any strange things inside."

"Okay!" Qi Mofeng had no choice but to follow.

Relying on the faint and mysterious light of the night pearl, Ye Chuyin and Qi Mofeng came to a huge secret room full of mechanisms.

This place is filled with an ancient and mysterious atmosphere, and every step seems to hide threats that can easily devour explorers.

The first thing that catches your eye is a row of intricate stone slabs. Unlike the nine-square pattern mechanisms you encountered before, each stone slab here is engraved with unique mysterious symbols.

In the dim light, these symbols seem to come alive, emitting a faint fluorescence that makes people feel awe.

Ye Chuyin's eyes were like a sharp blade, sweeping across these ancient symbols one by one. She quickly constructed a complex logical chain in her mind, trying to find the hidden clue among these chaotic symbols.

After a moment, a gleam of insight flashed in her eyes.

Ye Chuyin turned to Qi Mofeng, her eyes full of determination and trust.

She gestured for him to follow her lead, and the two of them began to dance a dance of life together, each of their steps seeming unusually cautious and light.

As their footsteps fell, those seemingly messy symbols seemed to be given life, lighting up the way to the next door one by one.

Just as they successfully activated the last symbol, the first mechanism made a slight grinding sound and slowly opened the passage to the abyss.
