however.
This was witnessed by viewers in the live stream!
To be honest... I'm starting to ship Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan! They seem like a domineering CEO and his sweet, gentle wife.
[What the heck is this "domineering CEO and his sweet little wife" thing? This is clearly a combination of a cool, aloof older woman and a lively, innocent younger woman, okay? And Gu Wuyan is the one on the bottom!]
Trying to seduce everything will only harm you.
[Brother Qin'an is wronged! He just told you to step back, how did he end up talking about having two wives?! What about him?]
What else can you do? Come into my bed!
[What if... I mean, what if! Brother Qin An directly joined Jiang Liuli and Gu Wuyan?]
That's awesome!
Wow~ There's even a 3P!
....................................
On the altar.
Qin An took out the Ancestral Witch Waist Token that he had hidden earlier from his waist and slowly inserted it into the groove.
"pat-"
The waist tag fits perfectly into the groove, as if it were one piece!
next moment.
Suddenly, the eye pattern in the groove emitted a crimson light, which penetrated the Ancestral Witch's waist token, causing the eyes on the token to turn blood red as well, making it look extremely eerie.
Followed by.
The entire fan-shaped stone wall began to shake violently!
"Rumble--"
The sound of the stone walls rubbing against each other was so loud it hurt your eardrums!
The violent tremor startled Shao Wei, who retreated several steps. "Such a big commotion? Could it be that the altar is about to collapse?"
He started running towards the other side of the altar.
Zhang Yunfeng grabbed him, pointing at the stone wall, his voice trembling, "It's not collapsing! Why are you running? Look... the stone wall is receding!"
Everyone looked intently.
Before Qin An, a five-meter-wide and three-meter-high stone cave slowly caved inward, gradually revealing a winding stone staircase leading downwards.
"Whoohoo-"
A chilling wind blew from the depths of the stone steps below.
The stench of decay in the eerie wind seemed to be mixed with a hint of foulness, even worse than the stench from Xing Tian's corpse when they opened the bronze coffin! This caused the entire archaeological team to frown repeatedly.
Qin An peered inside.
The military flashlights overhead also shone bright white light into the room.
But for some unknown reason, even the bright white light from the military flashlight couldn't illuminate a place more than 10 meters away before being swallowed up by the thick, sticky darkness inside.
See this situation.
Qin An turned around with a serious expression and said, "The flashlight can't see the situation inside, so everyone be prepared to face danger at any time! Don't touch anything, and don't shout."
Everyone nodded solemnly upon hearing this.
After all, the foul smell from just now made them feel nauseous. In the human brain's perception, the smellier the place, the more dangerous it is, so everyone was on high alert.
Everyone looked serious.
Qin An nodded calmly, then took the lead in descending the stone steps.
Seeing this, everyone immediately followed.
"Da da da da da da-"
The stone steps have a very crisp texture!
Even though the archaeological team kept their feet very light, the sound of their footsteps was frighteningly loud!
The light from the dozen or so military flashlights was very bright.
However, they knew nothing about the area 10 meters away and could only follow Qin An carefully down the steps.
"Swish—"
in the dark.
A furry foot walking on the rock face slipped and fell.
Yang Lele, who was walking in the middle of the group, initially just felt that the surrounding environment was eerie and scary! Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the rock wall on the left side of the stone steps, which made her break out in a cold sweat.
"what?!"
Yang Lele raised her voice a few notches to bolster her courage, then turned to look at the rock wall on her left, where a beam of bright white light shone down.
however.
Within the circle of light, there were only a few fallen pebbles and nothing else. The members of the archaeological team walking in front of and behind Yang Lele were puzzled and turned to look at where Yang Lele was looking.
Meng Yu asked, "Lele! What's wrong?"
Yang Lele then realized that everyone in the archaeological team was looking at her, and said somewhat awkwardly, "I just heard a rustling sound on the rock wall. I thought it was something dirty, but when I looked, it turned out to be a few small stones that fell down by themselves."
The members of the archaeological team all nodded in agreement.
After shining a military flashlight on the rock face on the left and finding nothing dirty, they continued on their way.
Yang Lele also felt that she was just too nervous and was being overly suspicious, so she didn't take it too seriously.
The group followed Qin An down the stone steps.
I thought nothing would happen next.
Suddenly, everyone heard a sharp screech!
"Hiss-"
The sound was not like the flicking of a snake's tongue, but more like the simultaneous flapping of wings of countless venomous insects, mixed with the creaking sound of bones rubbing together.
Xie Wenjing and Wang Yanyan were so startled that they quickly looked around with the military flashlights above their heads, but there was nothing dirty on the surrounding rock walls and the stone steps under their feet.
Where did that hissing sound come from?
Just as everyone was stunned and at a loss for what to do.
Qin An suddenly turned around and looked at the archaeological team, pointing with his index finger to the stone steps beneath his feet, "It's under our feet, on the back of the stone steps."
After hearing what Qin An said...
The archaeological team listened carefully and discovered that the hissing sound did indeed seem to be coming from the back of the stone steps.
"Let me see."
As he spoke, Hu Jizhou moved to the right of the stone steps, then leaned to the left and shoved his head down the steps.
"Hiss-"
A beam of white light swept across the stone steps, revealing that the back of the stone steps was covered with a dense swarm of black insects, all along the long, winding path! On their hard black shells were eye patterns identical to those on the Ancestral Witch's waist token.
At a glance.
It looked like a dense cluster of eyes clinging to the back of the stone steps.
These black insects were sleeping at that moment.
The reason it makes a "hissing" sound is...
This is because they adjust their body movements while sleeping, just like a person turns over when they are in a deep sleep; these are all unconscious behaviors.
"Gulu——"
Upon seeing so many densely packed black insects, even the well-informed Hu Jizhou felt guilty and swallowed hard.
He slowly straightened up and stood up from the stone steps.
Gu Yang patted him on the shoulder from behind, "Why aren't you saying anything? And why are you sweating so much? What's going on down these stone steps?"
He could see that everyone was watching him.
Hu Jizhou could only reorganize his thoughts in his mind, "It's a swarm of densely packed black beetles! They're all over the back of this stone staircase! And they all have an eye pattern on their backs! Exactly the same eye as on the Ancestral Witch's waist token!"
