Ye Ling was just about to take a deep breath and celebrate her escape from death, but Duan Yu came up with a new trick for her.
He weakly grasped Ye Ling's arm, pointed to a corner covered by rubble, and said weakly: "There... seems to be... an entrance..."
Ye Ling looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, under the cover of the ruins, a pitch-black cave entrance was faintly visible.
This place is amazing!
Just as you escape from one scary place, an even scarier one pops up.
Could this relic be a Russian nesting doll?
She was curious like a cat's claws scratching, yet a little wary.
This place doesn't look like it's easy to mess with.
The surrounding atmosphere suddenly became mysterious, as if the air was filled with a warning of "high energy ahead".
"Are you sure?" Ye Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at Duan Yu's pale face. "I hope you are not seriously injured and have hallucinations."
Duan Yu shook his head, his tone weak but firm, "I... I can feel the energy fluctuations inside..."
Okay, since the male lead has spoken, let’s go and take a look!
Anyway, Ye Ling is not a coward.
She clapped her hands and said proudly, "Let's go! Let's see what else is hidden in these ruins!"
After saying that, she walked forward cautiously, holding Duan Yu with one hand and groping the edge of the cave with the other.
The touch was cold, with a damp and chilly feeling that made her shiver.
The passage was pitch black, like a monster with its mouth wide open, waiting for its prey to fall into its trap.
Ye Ling turned on the mecha's night vision mode. The dim green light illuminated the road ahead and also reflected her resolute face.
She looked back and saw Li Qing waiting anxiously outside.
He seemed to have noticed something, and his face was full of worry.
Ye Ling made an "OK" gesture to him to indicate that she was fine, and then stepped into the passage without hesitation.
In the passage, waves of weak energy could be heard, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, as if breathing, making people feel a little upset.
Ye Ling slowed down her pace, remained alert at all times, and did not dare to relax at all.
This feeling of the unknown is more stressful than direct combat.
The further she walked, the stronger the energy fluctuations became, and a faint fishy smell wafted through the air.
At the same time, some strange patterns began to appear on the walls of the passage, as if telling ancient secrets.
"Tsk, this place is too gloomy!" Ye Ling couldn't help but complain, but her steps did not stop at all.
At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from the depths of the passage, like something whispering, or the roar of some monster.
Ye Ling was shocked and stopped immediately, her nerves tensed instantly.
She felt an inexplicable force calling her from the front, as if warning her not to go any further.
This feeling made her both excited and uneasy, like dancing on a tightrope, and she would fall into the abyss if she was not careful.
At this moment, Duan Yu suddenly groaned, and the fingers that were holding Ye Ling's arm unexpectedly became even stronger...
Ye Ling felt that the air in the passage had solidified, and the pressure around her was like a mountain pressing on her shoulders, making her breathless.
Duan Yu groaned, his face turned even paler, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.
The knuckles of his fingers turned white as he grabbed Ye Ling, and the force was so great that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her bones.
"Duan Yu! What's wrong with you?" Ye Ling was extremely anxious. Could it be that this kid was going to die?
Where can she find an automated external defibrillator (AED) in this remote place?
Duan Yu gritted his teeth and uttered a few words with difficulty: "This energy... has an effect on my injuries..."
Oh my god!
This relic might be specially built to restrain Duan Yu, right?
Ye Ling cursed inwardly and was about to carry Duan Yu back the way he came, but suddenly heard a charming voice coming from behind him.
"Oh my, isn't this Sister Ye Ling? What's wrong? Are you in trouble again?"
Ye Ling turned around suddenly and saw Evelin twisting her slender waist and walking towards her leisurely, with a hypocritical smile on her face, like a wolf in sheep's clothing.
"Evelin! What do you want to do now?" Ye Ling stared at her warily. There must be something bad happening when this woman appeared!
Evelin spread her hands with an innocent expression on her face: "Don't be so nervous, sister. I was just passing by and saw you here, so I came over to say hello."
Passing by? Passing by this damn place? Ye Ling didn't believe her nonsense!
"Stop talking nonsense! If you have something to say, say it now! If you have to fart, fart now!"
Evelyn chuckled,
Cooperation? Ye Ling sneered in her heart. What kind of medicine is this woman selling in the gourd?
"Cooperation? What is there for us to cooperate on?"
Evelin put away her smile and her tone became serious: "I know you want to explore the secrets of this relic, and I happen to be very interested in it. If we join forces, wouldn't it be more effective?"
Ye Ling looked at her sincere eyes and became even more confused.
Evelin, this woman, has always been insidious and cunning, so why would she take the initiative to propose cooperation this time?
Could it be...
What's her conspiracy?
Evelin seemed to see Ye Ling’s doubts and continued, “I know you don’t trust me, but it doesn’t matter. I can show my sincerity first.”
As she spoke, she took out an ancient key from her pocket and handed it to Ye Ling: "This is the key to open the next door of the ruins. Consider it a small token of my appreciation."
Ye Ling took the key and felt it was cold to the touch. There were some strange patterns carved on it, which looked similar to the patterns on the wall of the passage before...
