Chapter 1190 The Returnee's Notes 264
Yuan Ming glanced down at the compass in his hand and felt relieved; at least it was still useful.
The surrounding temperature was getting lower and lower, and Xie Ning could feel Ouyang Lin's hands getting colder and colder, and even her own hands were turning purple.
They were alright, but the snow fox was struggling. He wasn't in the best physical condition to begin with, and now he was shivering from the cold.
They may know a little bit of magic, but they are still just ordinary people.
Xu Jiu pulled her hands in a little. Her down jacket was quite warm, and although she was also afraid of the cold, she wasn't shivering like Snow Fox.
Huifa was dressed the least, wearing only a cotton coat, and it looked so cold.
Yuan Ming exhaled a puff of white breath, "It wasn't this cold when I came last time."
Looking up, the sunlight streamed down, and the snow on the ground gradually melted. Xie Ning guessed that it was colder here than Yuan Ming had last time because of the heat absorption effect.
The snow fox's expression wasn't good, and it raised its voice, "Haven't we arrived yet?"
They were in a strange situation. The sun was high in the sky, and the fog should have dissipated by now, but it was still shrouded in a layer of mist.
"Almost there, it's just ahead."
Below is a stream, which is not frozen, but there is a thin layer of ice floating on the surface, flowing downstream.
When they arrived at this point, Yuan Ming put away the compass. "That's it."
The road here is difficult to walk on, and Ouyang Lin even fell and got her feet wet, but since she had already come this far, there was no reason to turn back.
The cave Yuan Ming was referring to was an entrance covered by withered vines. From a distance, it didn't look like anything special, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the withered vines had been placed there intentionally to conceal the entrance.
Yuan Ming scratched his head. "All the leaves have fallen off. Luckily, no one has noticed this place."
If they are discovered by their peers, it's fine; at most, they'll miss an opportunity. But if ordinary people see it and get hurt by the ghosts inside, that would be bad.
Yuan Ming doesn't consider himself a particularly good person, but he does study this subject because he has some desire to do good and be virtuous.
“The path inside is a bit difficult to navigate later, so let’s make a mark at the entrance to guide people. Mu Yan, you can come here.”
This is Xie Ning's name. Because the incense Xie Ning makes is very special, if they get lost and their compass fails, they can use it to find their way.
"good."
Snow Fox stared at Xie Ning, and when she took out a red incense stick and sniffed it closely, she noticed a faint medicinal scent. However, it didn't seem to burn for very long, so she couldn't help but ask, "This incense won't burn for very long, will it?"
"This incense can burn for three hours."
If they still haven't come out after such a long time, then even if the incense is still burning, it won't help.
Xie Ning didn't use a lighter; he simply made a hand seal, and the incense lit up. The others glanced at Xie Ning with some surprise.
Because Xie Ning didn't know much about her colleagues, she either went on missions alone or with Ouyang Lin and the others, so she didn't know that such a small spell was considered very powerful by others.
Xu Jiu was still observing Xie Ning's hands, wondering if Xie Ning had used some kind of trick.
Ouyang Lin sniffed. "Can we go in now?"
Although it wasn't as cold inside the cave as outside, the wind was particularly strong near the cave entrance, making her face numb.
"Hold on."
Xie Ning placed the incense stick at the entrance of the cave, then tied it with a red rope before nodding.
The wind at the cave entrance was indeed strong. The red incense stick, though light, remained completely still, with only a wisp of white smoke being swept away by the gale.
As I stepped into the cave, the chill that had enveloped me gradually faded, replaced by a cool, gloomy atmosphere.
Some color returned to their faces. Yuan Ming pointed to the white circles on the ground, "These are the ones I drew back then. They can guide you. This cave is very strange and complicated. Only the white circles indicate the correct path. If you see a red circle, you must turn back immediately..."
As Xie Ning was listening, he noticed a skeleton by the cave wall and a black rope on the ground. The clothes on the skeleton looked like they were from one or two decades ago.
Now the body has decomposed and only a pile of bones remains.
The others also looked over, and Snow Fox narrowed his eyes, "Tomb raiders?"
Yuan Ming nodded. Although they came here with the same intention, the two were still somewhat different and could not be considered colleagues.
Of course, there are quite a few knowledgeable tomb raiders among the tomb raiders, some of whom are even more skilled than them, but the tomb raiders who entered this tomb do not seem to be very good.
Perhaps, the things inside are just too powerful.
