After walking for some distance, the ground gradually tilted downwards.

Gingerly, Leng Qing felt apprehensive as she asked, "Big brother Tie, do we feel like we're walking towards the ground?"

Tian Xin'er answered, "I think so too."

Tie Qingyi said, "The fact that the torches are still burning proves that the air is still circulating here." Moreover, there was only one path here. It didn't matter, he just had to walk forward. "It won't be too late to retreat after discovering that something is amiss." As they were talking, the three of them turned the corner of the cave and a stone path appeared in front of them.

At this point, the cave was narrow, and the path was dug from the mountain. The stone walls on both sides were made of brick and stone, with a patio at the top and a niche on both sides.

Looking at the walls in front of the path, each of them was painted with a picture of a green dragon and a white tiger. Looking at the wall in front of the path, each of them was painted with a picture of a green dragon and a white tiger.

The three of them didn't think that the cave would be so meticulously constructed. Leng Qing said in surprise, "Brother Tie, could it be that there is someone living inside?"

Tie Qingyi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Brother Leng, I'm afraid that the three of us have entered an ancient tomb!"

"Ancient tomb?" The lady timidly said, "Are you saying that this cave is a tomb?"

"It's not just a tomb …" Tie Qingyi looked around and nodded. "And judging from the style of the tomb built here, it should be an ancient tomb from the previous dynasty. The owner of the tomb should be a noble from the previous dynasty."

Tian Xin'er asked doubtfully, "How do you know?"

Tie Qingyi replied, "The tombs of the previous dynasty are mostly long. They also have patios at the top, symbolizing the courtyards on all levels of the mansion. Furthermore, the tombs of distinguished individuals were lined with servants and armed riders, as well as the Four Divine Diagrams and Celestial Diagrams. This was a characteristic of tombs from the previous dynasty. Let's go over and take a look. "

Tian Xin'er and Leng Qing followed Tie Qingyi into the passageway. They saw that the passageway was about seventy to eighty feet high and about forty to fifty feet wide. The two looked over and saw that the walls on both sides of the road were painted with large numbers of armed riders.

Looking at each of the riders, their facial features were very lifelike. Although they had been buried for an unknown number of years, they looked completely new, as if they had just been painted on them. All the characters looked vivid and lifelike.

Upon closer inspection, the eyes of every individual, including those of horses, were inlaid with pearls the size of grains of rice. As they shone brightly, the entire tomb was illuminated as bright as day, and the painted servants and armed riders looked as if they were alive.

Although Tie Qingyi already knew that the owner of the tomb had an extraordinary identity, she still couldn't help but be amazed by the extravagant decorations.

Just as he was astonished, he suddenly heard Leng Qing cry out, "Aiya!" She stomped into a small hole in the ground and almost fell down. The three of them were completely engrossed in watching the mural, and none of them noticed what was happening below their feet. When he heard the sound, he saw Leng Qing's left foot sinking into a huge hoof print.

That hoof print was exactly the same as the six fingered hoof print that was found on the cave wall earlier. The three of them stopped about ten feet away from the entrance of the tomb.

Because they had seen hooves in the cave before, this time, the three of them were not surprised. They continued to walk forward and found a few hoof prints. Each hoof print was separated by a distance of ten feet, and looking at the hoof prints' six fingers pointing forward, it was clear that the monster had come out from the tunnel.

On the way, Tie Qingyi carefully looked at the two sides of the stone wall. Many places on the mural had holes that looked like hidden mechanisms, as if they had been damaged by humans. It must have been those armored guards who had come to the tomb and destroyed the mechanism that allowed the three to travel unhindered.

"Could it be that the guards outside were chased out by the monsters because they angered them when they entered the tomb?" Leng Qing also noticed something.

Tian Xin'er and Tie Qingyi frowned and did not answer, because at that moment, the three of them turned a corner and shockingly found a few Darkarmor skeletons lying in front of them in the grave with a few longswords scattered on the ground.

Tie Qingyi quickly stepped forward, squatted down and fished out a few bronze plates from under the black armor. Just like the corpse of the black armor in the cave, she was also a bodyguard of the Li residence.

Fear flashed across Leng Qing's face as she stuck close to Tian Xin'er's side. Tie Qingyi stood up and gazed out. The tunnel was straight ahead, and at the end of it was barely discernible what seemed to be a stone room.

Tian Xin'er became nervous and whispered, "Should we continue moving forward?"

"Roar!"

As soon as Tian Xin'er finished her sentence, a roar came from afar before Tie Qingyi could make a sound.

Suddenly, the three of them were shocked. Their voices were not loud and seemed to come from afar. Leng Qing subconsciously held onto Tian Xin'er's sleeves.

Tie Qingyi bent down and picked up a long sword. With a calm expression, she turned around and said, "Miss Tian, you will be in charge of watching over Leng Qing. Follow behind me."

Seeing the youth's calm expression, the lady felt her heart calm down. She reached out her hand to pat Leng Qing's shoulder and comforted him, "With me and your big brother Tie by your side, you don't have to be afraid no matter what happens." With one hand holding the hook and the other pulling him behind the youth, they walked forward.

Along the way, the three of them were no longer in the mood to look at the murals on both sides of the road or the hoofprints on the ground. Tie Qingyi was in the front of the group. Although she looked relaxed and relaxed, she was secretly gathering her Four Qi Miasma Method to its peak. Purple Qi surrounded her body, almost surrounding Tian Xin'er and Leng Qing.

The tunnel was long and empty. The tiny pearls on the wall were as bright as stars, reflecting the dark blue light of the tunnel. The footsteps of the three people were heard from afar, giving off an eerie feeling.

As Tie Qingyi walked, she concentrated her spiritual sense. Any unusual movements within a circumference of 100 feet would not be able to escape from his sensitive hearing. Who knew that as he neared the end of the tunnel, there would be no strange sounds at all?

At the end of the tunnel, there was indeed a stone room with two stone doors wide open. The stone room was a mess. The four walls were inlaid with a cat's eye gemstone, and there were a few black armor skeletons lying at the foot of the stairs. They all knew it was the Li Residence's black armor guard without needing to look closely.

It seemed that the armored guards had encountered the mysterious six-fingered monster in this stone room and were being chased all the way to the cave. Looking further ahead, Leng Qing let out a cry of "ah" and took two steps back.

In the middle of the room, an altar had been set up, and a huge stone coffin was suspended in the air by four human-arm-thick iron chains.

The head of the sarcophagus was facing the door, and on the coffin was a drawing of a divine dragon, with its head facing towards the three of them. It had a golden beard, silver horns, red eyes, and a spirited look.
