Wen Qi stared at the ball of fire that was already suspended in the air and sighed, I hope so.

Feng Ce turned around and looked at Fan Xiaoling and the others, and said calmly, "You guys go back."

Fan Xiaoling also knew that there was no point in them being here, so it would be better for them to go back and lift the alert so that everyone could have a good rest.

Li Tianshi didn't want to leave, but seeing Feng Ce accompanying Wen Qi with concentration, she gritted her teeth and had to go. On the way back, she thought maliciously that it would be better if the broken book was burned to ashes! It was not until the sky turned white that the flames on the Metaphysics Secret Book gradually extinguished, revealing its pitch-black body.

Wen Qi’s heart, which had been hanging in the air for the entire night, finally settled down. Fortunately, he didn’t have a fever.

The secret book of metaphysics flew in front of Wen Qi, and he opened and closed the pages with great effort, shaking out a cloud of black ash.

Wen Qi took a step back in disdain, waved his hand, and said angrily, "Burned to ashes?"

The Metaphysical Secret Book protested by opening and closing twice again, conveying a vague message: It will be fine if you take care of it, and it can even evolve!

Wen Qi sneered, "That's such a pity." As she spoke, she clenched her fists and raised her hand to knock on the Metaphysics Secret Book, "I've never seen you guys courting death like this, where's Taotie?"

The Secret Book of Metaphysics was in the wrong, and even if he could have avoided it, he still took the blow and then remained silent.

Wen Qi's eyebrows jumped, and he pulled the corner of his lips and said, "It won't be burned up, right?"

Secret Book of Metaphysics: No, it’s gone.

Wen Qi was silent. Although she had a hunch, when it was confirmed, she still couldn't accept it.

Taotie just died like this? The Metaphysical Secret Book did not dare to say that Taotie was not only dead, but also digested and absorbed by himself. He could only quietly turn into a stream of light and return to the depths of Wen Qi's soul to recuperate quietly.

Feng Ce sighed secretly, wanting to comfort her, but he couldn't really understand her sadness. He had seen too many deaths and partings, and had long been numb. Especially... he had no feelings for Taotie.

Feng Ce walked back holding Wen Qi's hand, and said gently, "You've been tired all night, let's go back and rest."

Wen Qi didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes slightly and followed him back without saying a word the whole time.

Wen Qi was in a bad mood for three consecutive days. Even though it was just a soul master of a ferocious beast, he had raised it for such a long time that they had developed feelings for it.

Wen Qi subconsciously wanted to feed Taotie these days. This guy is a foodie and would like to eat eight meals a day. Every time she gathered her soul power and sent it to him, she remembered that Taotie was gone. This habit is really hard to change.

Two days later, Wen Qi's mood had finally recovered, and Feng Ce also planned to return to Yunhai.

Li Tianshi had not been able to find an opportunity to get close to Feng Ce these days. When he heard that he was going back, he proposed to hold a farewell party.

Not to mention Wen Qi, Fan Xiaoling couldn't help rolling her eyes after hearing this. Mr. Feng might come again in a few days, so why bother to say farewell? You can't say farewell every time he comes back, right? Should we hold another welcome party?

Fan Xiaoling complained a lot in her heart, and then she heard President Feng say coldly: "Don't bother, it's not necessary."

Li Tianshi tried to persuade him again, but no one agreed. Everyone was tired from work every day, who would have the energy to do these fancy things? Can't they just sleep well? In the end, Li Tianshi could only smile awkwardly and gave up the plan.

Wen Qi sent Feng Ce onto the plane. Everyone who had time came to see him off. After the helicopter took off, everyone left one after another. Before leaving, Master Li glanced at Wen Qi and snorted.

Fan Xiaoling was standing nearby, her eyes widened when she heard the words, "Hey! What does she mean? She seduces a married man and feels so confident about it. This is the first time I've seen someone so shameless."

Wen Qi naturally heard it, but she was in a bad mood these days and was too lazy to pay attention to anyone. Anyway, there was no substantial harm. If the dance really came in front of her, that would be another matter.

"There are many people who like Feng Ce. If I have to deal with all kinds of problems, I won't have to do anything else." Wen Qi turned around with a calm expression, "Let's go back to work."

Fan Xiaoling thought about it and agreed. With Mr. Feng's looks, status, and character, isn't he a perfect lover? If she really cared about everything, wouldn't she tire herself to death?

She understood. No wonder Wen Qi was so calm. It turned out that he didn't take Li Tianshi seriously at all.

The days that followed were peaceful, and the excavation of the ancient city went smoothly. More than a month later, the archaeological team finally determined that there was a mysterious city waiting to be excavated beneath their feet.

Professor Cheng and others were very excited and applied to their superiors for more professional excavation and exploration equipment overnight.

Three days later, the equipment arrived and underground exploration officially began.

After the passage leading to the underground was opened, a group of enthusiastic archaeologists were about to rush in, but were stopped by Wen Qi with a speechless look on his face, "We don't know what the situation is below, leave two Heavenly Masters up there, and the rest of the Heavenly Masters go down to check the situation. Only after confirming that there is no danger can we start the formal excavation."

Although Professor Cheng was anxious, he also knew that safety was the top priority. He could only suppress his anxiety and nodded, "Okay, you guys go down and check first, and be careful."

Wen Qi nodded and looked at Fan Xiaoling and Shi Minghuai, "Come with me. We don't know how long it has been sealed down there. Wear gas masks." She looked at the Tianshi at the research institute again. Just as she was about to ask, Tianshi Li took the initiative to say, "I'll go down with you."

Wen Qi glanced at her and nodded indifferently, "Let the air out first, and go down in half an hour. Go back and pack your things. I don't know how long you will stay, so prepare some food and drinks."

Half an hour later, Wen Qi took the lead and Fan Xiaoling wanted to follow, but was overtaken by Li Tianshi, so she could only be ranked third, and finally Shi Minghuai.

After entering the underground, the light suddenly became dim. Wen Qi could see clearly in the dark, but in order to take care of others, she still turned on the flashlight and stood not far from the entrance to shine it inside.

Below is a very large ancient city. It is estimated that it is definitely not smaller than the ancient city above, and it is likely to be larger. The architectural style is very similar, and there is no erosion from wind and sand. The stone houses are also well preserved, at least no collapsed ones are seen.

For the time being, I didn't sense any danger.

Wen Qi said, "Let's go in in two teams and send a signal if we encounter any danger." After that, she took the initiative to ask, "Master Li, do you mind coming with me?"

Li Tianshi was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Of course I don't mind."

Fan Xiaoling looked at the two of them and understood. She was afraid that Li Tianshi would cause trouble if he teamed up with them, so she kept him close to her to watch over him. Shi Minghuai asked stupidly, "What's the signal?"

Fan Xiaoling patted him and said, "It's so dark here, any light can be used as a signal."

Shi Minghuai suddenly realized.

The two teams separated, one team went left and the other team went right.

Wen Qi and Li Tianshi remained silent. They did not shine the flashlights on the road ahead, but just held them casually in their hands. The light flickered back and forth, making people dizzy.

Li Tianshi couldn't help it, "Can you hold the flashlight properly?"

Wen Qi paused, and turned off the flashlight with a flick of her finger. At the same time, her soul power spread out, and she grasped the situation of the entire underground ancient city almost instantly. She paused in her heart, and walked towards the center of the city with Li Tianshi without leaving any trace.

Li Tianshi didn't have a goal, he just went wherever he wanted, and didn't notice that he was being led by someone.

Walking all the way to the center of the city, and shining the flashlight upwards, Li Tianshi could not help but exclaimed, "Terracotta Warriors?"

In the square, a large group of soldiers in armor were neatly lined up. The soldiers were covered in gray and at first glance they really looked like stone statues, but they were not.

Wen Qi corrected him, "It's a corpse. It's been dead for too long, and there's too much dust on its body."

Master Li took a closer look.

Sure enough, the faces inside the armor had turned purple, and they were mummies. She took a step back in disgust, but said, "There are so many ancient corpses, if those people up there knew about it, they would be so happy that they would go crazy."

Wen Qi stuffed the flashlight into his backpack and said meaningfully, "There are more than just ancient corpses here."

Just as doubts arose in Li Tianshi's heart, she saw the soldier in front of her suddenly move, and dust flew up in an instant.
