Aju shuddered as she saw her front paws about to touch the stream and quickly retreated. "What if it's poisonous? Should we go over there and you can give us the antidote?"
Dongfang Mian walked to the stream and studied it carefully. Then she dipped her hand in the water and put it in her mouth before shaking her head and saying, "It's too late. This poison is very potent. You'll probably die before you even get across."
"What should we do? This stream seems endless. Are we just going to walk along it all the way to the end and then go around it?" Aju asked anxiously.
Dongfang Mian smiled and said, "It's very simple to think about it."
Then she bent down and picked up Aju and Ahua, then waded through the poisonous stream that reached her calves and put them down again.
Returning to stand in front of Yan Lin, Dongfang Mian spread her hands and said, "Come on, come up."
Yan Lin swore this was the first time he had been held in this position since he learned to walk. He thought he would feel humiliated, but when he looked at Dongfang Mian's profile and the baby's tender face in his arms, he only hoped that this little stream would never end.
Unfortunately, it was just a small stream that ended in a few steps, so much so that even after Dongfang Mian put him down, he was still reminiscing about it.
Continuing towards the marked location, they encountered only small formations along the way, which they paid no attention to. Presumably, with the first large illusion formation and the poisonous stream blocking their way, few could venture any deeper.
After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up before them, and they walked from a narrow passage into a brightly lit hall.
Inside, there were more than a dozen crystal coffins that looked incredibly luxurious.
The Shi family's ancestral graves are different from those of ordinary families. Although they are places where the remains of deceased ancestors are buried, the Shi family's crystal coffins can nourish the soul, that is, seal the last remaining spiritual power of the ancestors. Once a thief enters here, if he does not enter according to the rules, he will suffer the final blow from the ancestral soul.
Don't ask how Dongfang Mian knew; it was all written in huge characters on the wall. After seeing the words on the wall, the group was immediately caught in a dilemma.
They had two choices: either force their way through regardless of the outcome, or go back and take another route.
When they arrived, they saw many forks in the road; this one was the closest to where they were going.
"Never mind, let's just go in. We've overcome so many difficulties along the way, what's a few coffins to us?" Ah Ju said.
Yan Lin nodded in agreement, mainly because the baby's complexion was getting worse and worse, and Yan Lin was afraid that the longer it was delayed, the less likely the baby would be able to withstand devouring the Poison God.
Dongfang Mian had a bad feeling, but this was the fastest option at the moment, so she used the Supreme Water Shield with all her might and prepared to break through.
At this moment, Ahua, who was in Dongfang Mian's arms, cried out, "No!"
Dongfang Mian looked down and saw Ahua staring in terror at the dozen or so coffins in front of her. Ahua looked at Dongfang Mian and said tremblingly, "Mother, we can't go in, we can't go in."
"Ahua, what did you see?" Dongfang Mian knew that Ahua had probably seen something again.
“They’re all dead, all of them are dead,” Ahua was terrified and completely lost her composure.
"What died?" Dongfang Mian asked.
“We, all of us, are all dead,” Ahua said, tears streaming down her face.
The remaining few people immediately felt a chill run down their spines and their skin crawl. Goosebumps rose all over their bodies. Looking at the silent hall in front of them, they unconsciously took a step back.
