One, two, three, four…
Lin Qiye's eyes swept across the front and looked at the densely packed pale paper figures, and his heart sank instantly.
There are too many of them. There are too many of these paper figures!
He had no idea where these paper people came from. When he checked nearby just now, he didn't find any trace of the paper people. It was as if from a certain moment, they appeared out of thin air like ghosts!
Lin Qiye's back was soaked with sweat, but even so, he remained calm. He held the flame in one hand and slowly reached for the straight knife behind him with the other hand...
He could not feel any fluctuation of spiritual power from these paper figures, nor any difference in realm. It seemed as if a fire could burn them all. However, Lin Qiye's intuition told him... these paper figures were not that simple.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to try to break out, a terrifying scene happened.
All the faces of the paper figures suddenly froze, and then the facial features painted on them quickly twisted, as if they were changing faces, sometimes crying, sometimes sneering, sometimes angry, and sometimes smiling...
A strange aura emanated from their bodies, like invisible threads, blending with Lin Qiye's aura.
Lin Qiye couldn't see the threads, nor could he sense them. But at that moment, the flames burning in his palms suddenly went out. He felt his body temperature drop rapidly, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. His body became strangely light, and a paleness appeared on his face...
At the same time, the faces of the paper figures surrounding Lin Qiye stopped changing. Every facial feature began to change subtly. The empty eyes began to focus, the scarlet lips gradually faded, the noses became more straight, and strands of black hair extended from the top of their heads... The only thing that remained unchanged was the weird smile on their faces.
They are turning into Lin Qiye.
And Lin Qiye... is becoming them.
The cold death energy raged in Lin Qiye's body. It seemed as if all the strength in his body had been drained away. He could only barely support his body and stared at the paper figures that had turned into "Lin Qiye" one by one. His consciousness began to blur.
Lin Qiye clenched his teeth, took a deep breath, and the next moment a golden light burst out from his eyes!
A "miracle" exploded in his body!
The appearance of a miracle instantly interrupted the changes in Lin Qiye's body. The power surged back into his body again, and the face that was about to be folded into paper returned to its original state, and his consciousness returned in an instant!
The changes of the paper figures also stopped at the same time. Some only turned into Lin Qiye's nose, some only turned into his eyes, and some only turned into his hair... They touched their faces in astonishment, and suddenly looked up at Lin Qiye. Their shriveled expressions changed into extreme anger at the same time!
They roared silently, and their bodies flashed, like a rushing white torrent, rushing towards Lin Qiye rapidly!
These paper figures did not give up. The strange aura that was originally cut off by the "miracle" condensed again and connected together again, trying to connect to Lin Qiye's living breath.
Lin Qiye, who had just walked around the gates of hell, looked extremely gloomy when he saw this scene. The miracle he had just created with the [Mortal Divine Realm] almost drained his mental strength.
This just goes to show that the strange attacks of this group of paper men were completely beyond his ability to cope with, and were far beyond his ability to cope with!
If he was stuck with their scent again, Lin Qiye would never be able to escape.
He quickly looked around, and his eyes finally stopped at the hole left by the queen ant on the ground. After hesitating for a moment, he made up his mind and jumped in!
Although he didn't know what was behind the door and what kind of danger there would be, it was better than being drained by this group of paper people!
After Lin Qiye jumped into the cave, the paper figures did not seem to let him go. Instead, they followed him one after another and floated into the cave, disappearing...
…
A few minutes later.
A golden sword beam flew out from the ant hole on the blue-gray wall and circled in the dark underground cave.
"Huh? Where is this place?" Baili Pangpang asked in surprise when he saw that the space around him suddenly became much wider.
Cao Yuan took the flashlight and shone it around little by little, with a look of doubt in his eyes.
"Man-made? Let's go down and take a look."
Four people jumped down from the golden sword light. Baili Pangpang waved his hand, and [Yaoguang] turned into a necklace and returned to his chest. An Qingyu walked to the blue-gray brick wall, and a hint of gray appeared in his eyes.
After a while, he slowly spoke:
"It is man-made, but it is very old. Judging from the weathering of the bricks and stones, it should be a product of more than 2,000 years ago."
"More than two thousand years ago?" Cao Yuan was stunned and calculated, "Isn't that the Han Dynasty?"
An Qingyu nodded, "That's right."
"During the Han Dynasty, did someone build an underground city wall in such a remote place?" Baili Pangpang frowned slightly, "Are they bored?"
An Qingyu did not answer, but silently observed the other walls around him, wondering what he was thinking about.
"No matter what, the most important thing is to find Qiye." Cao Yuan looked down at the bloodstains of the queen ant under his feet and said, "Qiye must have followed the bloodstains of the queen ant. Let's go!"
The four of them followed the blood trail for a while and came to the black wall and the ancient bronze door.
"Oh my god..." Baili Pangpang opened his mouth wide, "There's another one? The ancients really had plenty of free time!"
An Qingyu looked at the black brick wall for a moment, frowning slightly, "No."
"What's wrong?"
"This wall is different from the previous one." An Qingyu said slowly, "I can't figure out the material of this wall, and the same goes for the huge bronze door. The molecular structure of these things is different from any material known in modern materials science..."
"Different?" Baili Pangpang tilted his head, "So what?"
"These are not things made by humans."
As soon as An Qingyu said this, the other three people fell silent and their expressions became serious.
If it is not man-made, it can only be "mystery" or... God.
"There's a cave over there." Li Deyang spotted the cave that Lin Qiye had crawled into and spoke.
Baili Pangpang and others went over to observe carefully, looked at each other, and saw the surprise in their eyes.
"Qi Ye chased the queen ant and ran from here to behind the door?" Baili Pangpang couldn't help but say, "Isn't this too much?"
"There is no trace of him around, so he must have gone in." An Qingyu nodded.
"Then let's go in too."
"good."
Buzz——!!!
Just as the four were about to enter the cave, they heard a loud buzzing sound echoing throughout the space. They looked up, and a look of surprise appeared in their eyes at the same time.
Between the black walls, the huge bronze door that stood tall and straight was slowly opening outwards...
