Mi Li glanced at it and her expression hardened, while Bi Linglong exclaimed in surprise.
The reason they reacted this way was because someone who should never have been here had appeared—Han Zhong!
They had met Han Zhong on the first fairy island, and now this was the third fairy island.
Moreover, they had just witnessed Han Zhong's death not long ago. Given their cultivation and experience, they knew that if he had faked his death, they would not have been able to hide it from him.
But someone who died on the First Immortal Island arrived here before them, lying in a coffin waiting for them.
"Are we seeing a ghost?" Bi Linglong pursed her lips and said with difficulty. Compared to Mi Li's great warmth upon returning to this place, she felt that this place was eerie and sinister, and she wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Mi Li frowned deeply: "Could it be that the Han Zhong we saw before was a fake? Or is this one a fake?"
Zu An reached into the coffin and probed the corpse, then shook his head: "No, I fought him before, and he still has traces of my energy on him. Besides, judging from the condition of this corpse, he should have died recently. If he had died during the Qin Dynasty, he would have long since turned into a pile of bones."
"Then why is he here?" Bi Linglong hugged her arms, feeling a chill run down her spine.
"It's probably from these vines." Mi Li glanced at the vines that were everywhere in the room. "The wood element here is extremely abundant, which is obviously abnormal."
"What if elemental creatures like those from before appear?" Bi Linglong hurriedly gripped the sword hilt. She still felt lingering fear when she thought about being bound in such a shameful way by those vines, and she really didn't want to go through that again.
Zuan shook his head: "Based on my experience with the room just now, I checked it immediately before entering. Although the wood element is exceptionally abundant here, there is no sign of elemental creatures."
Mi Li explained, "It's probably because Han Zhong just died, and the wood element here hasn't been concentrated long enough for elemental creatures to form. Let's go check other places."
"Do you think this palace might be used to hold some kind of strange and evil formation?" Zu'an asked Mi Li on the way.
Mi Li nodded: "It's possible. Ying Zheng will stop at nothing to achieve immortality, so I'm not surprised that he would set up an evil formation at the end. Everyone be careful from now on."
Their speculation cast a shadow over everyone's hearts; the thought of such an evil formation made it impossible for anyone to feel at ease.
After a while, Bi Linglong subconsciously tugged at her collar: "Don't you guys feel a little hot?"
Zuan hummed in agreement: "It is a bit hot."
He was even tempted to take off his clothes. Hmm, thinking about it this way, even if it's hot, it's not so bad.
Mi Li's expression turned grave: "I sense signs of fire elemental agitation. Everyone, be careful."
At this moment, Zaun could see a faint red light coming from a house in the distance, and he guessed that the restless feeling of fire element was coming from there.
The group walked over cautiously. The closer they got, the hotter it became. When they first entered, they could even feel waves of heat hitting their faces.
Similar to the previous two rooms, there was also a coffin in the center of this room, and on the platform below the coffin were various intricate rune formations that extended to the four walls.
It's clear that this tomb chamber is of a much higher standard than the previous two, whether it's the size of the coffin, the style of the surrounding layout, or the various burial objects around it.
However, everyone's attention was drawn to the ceiling, where countless red lights flickered on and off, like countless eyes opening and closing.
Even though Zuan had seen all sorts of big scenes, he still felt a chill run down his spine at the sight. If someone with trypophobia were here, they would probably die on the spot.
"What is that thing? Is it some kind of thousand-eyed monster?" Zuan asked Mi Li cautiously, afraid that raising his voice would startle the creature.
"Why don't you try and see?" As soon as Mi Li finished speaking, she casually flicked her sleeve, and a gust of wind swept straight up to the ceiling.
Zuan: "..."
Why is this woman so fierce?
At this moment, the entire room brightened up, and the red dots that had been flickering suddenly turned bright red, as if countless monsters had opened their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, those red eyes rushed towards the crowd. Then they finally saw clearly that what they were facing were not eyes at all, but butterflies, butterflies whose entire bodies were flaming.
Upon seeing the countless fire butterflies fluttering in the sky, Bi Linglong seemed to remember something and her expression changed drastically: "Be careful, these are Flame Demon Butterflies. A few years ago, a teacher from the National Academy led a team of outstanding students on an adventure to a secret realm, and they were all wiped out when they encountered these butterflies. These butterflies are covered with tiny scales that are invisible to the naked eye, and they scatter into the air as their wings flutter. If a person gets them on their skin, they will ignite, and no matter what you do, you can't extinguish them until they burn away your flesh and blood..."
At this point, she suddenly paused, because she noticed that several flames had already started burning on Zu'an's body.
Zu An frowned, about to use his internal energy to resist, when he suddenly noticed that the flames on his body were trembling, then getting weaker and weaker, and soon extinguished on their own.
The fiery butterflies that had been charging forward with such ferocity seemed to have witnessed something terrifying. They hastily retreated, then lay down on the farthest wall, their vibrant flames dimming as if they had fallen into a deep sleep once more.
"Huh, how did you do that?" Now, not only Bi Linglong, but even Mi Li stared at him curiously. They hadn't seen him make any move at all. Why did those fire butterflies fly away in fright?
