Because Han Mengyao's series of actions were so natural, Ji Qian didn't even have time to react before her feet began to involuntarily move towards Han Mengyao.
By the time Ji Qian came to her senses, she had already successfully pried open the stone slab on the ground under Han Mengyao's guidance.
"This is……!"
Ji Qian was so startled by the scene under the stone slab that she took two steps back. She looked up at Han Mengyao, who nodded in agreement with Ji Qian's idea.
"Is...is this human blood?"
Ying Xu, who then came over, was also shocked by the scene before him and was speechless for a long time before finally managing to utter this sentence.
"Probably."
Han Mengyao was one of the calmest people present. She bent down and peered into the pit with a flashlight.
Ji Qian watched in alarm and couldn't help but grab Han Mengyao's clothes to prevent her from plunging headfirst into the hole.
Fortunately, the bloodstains at the entrance of the hole had already dried, and even though Han Mengyao crawled in and out several times, none of the blood got on her clothes.
What's the situation inside?
Seeing Han Mengyao get up and straighten her clothes, Ji Qian knew she wasn't planning to go down any further, so she asked.
"There's another secret passage down there, but it's much lower than the previous one; you might have to crawl to get in."
Han Mengyao casually brushed the dust off her clothes while still managing to answer Ji Qian's question.
"Is this a manor or a rabbit hutch? There are so many secret passages."
Ying Xu made a sarcastic remark, then looked at Ji Qian:
"Sister Qian, could you let me in this time?"
Ying Xu was extremely dissatisfied with his performance underground yesterday, and he desperately needed an opportunity to contribute to the team.
"No need, your height doesn't meet the requirements."
Ji Qian rejected Ying Xu without hesitation. She looked around at the people around her and then sadly realized that there were actually very few people present who were shorter than her.
Since she really didn't want to go into battle herself, Ji Qian had no choice but to turn her attention to the non-humans present.
Before she could figure it out, she saw a dark shadow flash past her.
The 'orc' who had been behaving very obediently suddenly sprang out from under the table and disappeared into the pit with lightning speed.
Ji Qian racked her brains but still couldn't understand how things had developed this way.
Looking at the numerous mummified corpses being dragged out of the pit by the 'orcs' one after another, Ji Qian felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she was about to faint at any moment.
Xu Qi, who was standing next to him, had already clasped his hands together and lay back on the ground, looking exceptionally peaceful.
It could be said that everyone present, except for Han Mengyao, including Nora and Earl Lanruer, turned pale.
Even when he first saw the mummified corpse, Count Lanruer was so cowardly that he vomited. Fortunately, Ji Qian quickly stuffed it back in, otherwise he probably would have vomited up the soul he had painstakingly restored.
"These... Ugh!" Ying Xu tried to say something, but the scene before him was clearly beyond his tolerance.
"Don't throw up, if you throw up I'll want to too... vomit!!!"
Before Mi Yesi could finish speaking, she also vomited.
So when the viewers who had finally waited for the live stream to be unblocked clicked into the channel, what they saw was a bizarre scene of a man and a woman vomiting in front of each other.
[I don't understand, is this some kind of new wedding ceremony?]
I feel like Mimi has been vomiting a lot ever since she started watching this show. I've never heard of her having any stomach problems before.
I think the problem isn't with their stomachs, but with their teammates.
I won't allow you to slander Sister Qian like that!
[The person above, your speed in identifying yourself with this description is chilling.]
So, what are they doing?
[Where did that naked man go?]
[Yeah, come out and let your sister see—Aaaaaah! What the hell is this?!]
Seeing that Ying Xu and Mi Yesi showed no sign of stopping vomiting, the assistant director decisively bypassed the two and pointed the camera at the mummified corpse on the ground.
Since no one else was in the mood to talk, in order to ensure the usability of the footage, the assistant director simply filmed a 360-degree close-up of the mummies.
The viewers, caught completely off guard by the 'beauty overload,' followed in the footsteps of Ying Xu and Mi Yesi.
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Han Mengyao finally came to her senses from her excitement:
"Should we invite these...seniors...back to the castle?"
"Well...they are foreigners after all, it's not appropriate for us to handle this."
At this moment, Ji Qian suddenly remembered her foreign identity, and she declared righteously:
"Besides, maybe this is their custom, so we'd better not break it."
"We don't have that kind of wind—ugh!"
Just as Count Lanruer was about to clarify, Ji Qian punched him hard in the stomach, causing him to writhe on the ground in pain and unable to speak.
"Since you've put it that way, then fine..."
Han Mengyao was clearly disappointed with the result, but she quickly regained her fighting spirit:
"Since everyone's height isn't suitable, why don't I go down and take a look?"
Although she said it as a question, Han Mengyao had already started walking towards the pit as she spoke.
Seeing that Han Mengyao was about to step onto the ladder, Ji Qian knew she couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she handed Han Mengyao the amulet she had gotten from Xu Qi and instructed her:
"If you encounter an emergency, just throw this talisman over and run back immediately. Don't linger!"
"Okay, don't worry."
Han Mengyao verbally agreed, but in reality, she couldn't wait to climb down into the pit. Ji Qian squatted by the pit and gave her instructions for a long time until she could no longer see Han Mengyao's figure.
"Sister Qian, you don't need to worry too much. Sister Meng knows what she's doing."
Ying Xu didn't understand why Ji Qian kept reminding Han Mengyao, since in his opinion, Han Mengyao was even more reliable than Ji Qian in some aspects.
"Sigh, you don't understand."
Ji Qian sighed, her expression growing increasingly worried as she looked at the pit, hoping that no supernatural creature would suddenly emerge and pique Meng Jie's interest.
Although Ji Qian did not intend to invite the mummies to her home, she also did not have the particular fetish of leaving corpses to rot in the wilderness.
Under her direction, Count Lanruer and Ying Xu worked together to move the mummified corpse into a small wooden house nearby for temporary storage.
The 'orc' didn't understand what they were doing. After dragging the mummies out of the pit, he silently squatted down and licked his wounds, never looking at the mummies again.
"Qianqian, drop a rope down!"
About five or six minutes later, Han Mengyao's shouts suddenly came from the pit. Without thinking, Ji Qian grabbed the rope and threw it down.
A moment later, rustling sounds came from below, followed by Han Mengyao calling out:
"You can reel in the rope now!"
As the rope was gradually pulled higher, Ji Qian clearly felt a heavy object being tied to the other end of the rope.
Ji Qian weighed it in her hand for a few moments and felt that it was probably the carcass of some kind of small animal, so she became even more careful with her hands.
Just before the thing was about to leave the ground, Ji Qian clearly saw a tuft of brown hair with a special shape—it was human hair!
