Those with weak strength felt dizzy looking at the black line, while those with strong strength felt a sense of dread.

Everyone simultaneously realized that the black line was too dangerous; going down into it would surely mean certain death.

Ji Ying and Qing Meng were also startled and immediately stepped forward to ask, "Brother/Sister, are you alright?"

Qingyou shook her head at them, deliberately turning pale and looking frightened. "It's nothing. We accidentally triggered the self-destruct formation inside while looking for something, so the whole courtyard is destroyed."

Qingmeng reached out to support Qingyou, "It's good that you're alright."

It almost scared her to death.

Ji Ying felt relieved when she realized that Qingyou and the other two were unharmed.

A thought suddenly crossed her mind, and she deliberately asked, "Have you found what's inside?"

Qingyou is so powerful, she shouldn't have triggered a self-destruct formation. So there's only one possibility: they did it on purpose.

Qingyou admired Ji Ying in her heart; she was indeed clever.

Her face darkened. "We just saw something in the roof beam, but when we took it, we triggered the formation, and the whole house started shaking."

She sighed again, "We didn't dare stay any longer and rushed out, but we didn't get anything."

All three places where she kept the items were protected by arrays, and she broke through the arrays to take them out.

But it could just be used as an excuse to accidentally trigger the formation, so the hunters wouldn't suspect anything.

When they return to the base, the higher-ups or the superhumans who have heard about it will only scold them for being wasteful and feel sorry for them, but they won't think about it anymore.

Otherwise, having so much stuff would definitely make many people envious and want to snatch it away.

Ji Ying understood the gist of it immediately, and she sighed, "That's a real pity."

Then, changing the subject, he said, "But the items are not as important as your lives. Luckily, you rushed out in time; any later and it would have been dangerous."

Ji Yong and Si Qin also looked grim. "Even so, it's still such a pity to miss out on those things."

The middle-aged man whose mouth wasn't gagged glared at Qingyou and the other two with a crazed expression, "You lunatics, you've ruined all our years of hard work."

They used tokens left by their ancestors when they tasted the food, so they didn't trigger the formation.

These people are incredibly reckless to try and activate the formation just because they know a little bit of metaphysics.

Deng Kaichun and the hunchbacked old man also looked at each other with hatred and heartache.

If they weren't tied up and gagged, they would definitely have wanted to tear Qingyou and the other two apart, or curse them out.

Seeing their appearance, coupled with the regret, remorse, and heartache on the faces of Qingyou and the other two, almost everyone present believed it.
