"Here? No, it's not here..."
Yun Si Ning finally found the spot where the slug had crawled out, but it was already a mess.
The mountainside cracked, exposing jagged rocks and fractured soil layers.
It's worth noting that when the slugs emerged, they smashed several small hills to pieces.
The once rolling, lush mountains are now fragmented.
Trees were uprooted or broken in half, their branches and leaves scattered on the ground, mixed with soil and gravel.
Moreover, after the slug died, many pieces of its body, of varying sizes, were scattered throughout the forest.
The mountains seemed to be covered with a layer of disgusting slime, and an indescribable stench permeated the air.
Sunlight shone through the clouds, illuminating the gruesome body parts and making them appear even more shocking.
"I can't find it, that can't be right."
Yun Si Ning had been circling around this place for a long time, but she still couldn't find what she was looking for.
She speculated that since Si Yiqi's legacy was in the slug, the place where Si Yiqi was truly buried was likely nearby.
Yun Si Ning remembered the contents of those few pages of the ancient scroll.
Before she died, Si Yiqi said that in addition to her inheritance and essence, her Dao body and a wisp of her spiritual imprint were also in the tomb.
"Senior Sister only took the first two, but no one discovered Si Yiqi's Dao body."
As she pondered this, she spread her divine sense, carefully scanning every inch of the surrounding land.
After Qingyu received the inheritance, the passage to the outside world opened directly.
It's not that others don't want to explore the tomb further, it's just that the passage will soon be closed.
If she hadn't managed to get out in time, she would be in Yun Si Ning's current situation.
"Hey!"
Suddenly, Yun Si Ning's eyes lit up.
After a persistent search, she finally made a discovery.
She strode forward, gently raised her hand, and activated the Desire Mantra, a faint pink halo covering her palm.
"Bang—"
She slammed her fist into the boulder in front of her.
With a loud bang, the boulder, which was seven or eight meters in diameter, exploded.
Her body was enveloped in desire, and she easily deflected the flying pebbles.
As the smoke and dust cleared, Yun Si Ning squatted down.
On the ground in front of her, a very faint indentation could be seen.
If she hadn't searched so carefully, she could easily have overlooked it.
"Tsk tsk~~ Well hidden well."
Yun Si Ning smacked her lips and stepped onto it.
The sunken patch of soil instantly cracked open, revealing a passage underneath.
Sunlight streamed into the dark cave entrance, and Yun Si Ning saw a series of staircases.
"Ugh... why do I always end up crawling through holes?"
With a slight pout, Yun Sining went inside.
As soon as I entered, the system's light screen changed.
The progress bar for the hidden quest has changed from 0% to 1%.
"Huh? There really is a change."
The changes in the progress bar further confirmed Yun Si Ning's idea.
She went down the stairs, and the narrow passage gradually widened.
As you walk deeper in, the light gradually brightens.
The walls on both sides are inlaid with luminous stones arranged in a staggered pattern, emitting a soft and mysterious light.
The glow of the luminous stone cast dappled shadows on Yun Si Ning, which swayed gently as she moved.
Her figure moved slowly forward amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the air filled with the scent of earth and ancient stone.
As she progressed, the task progress bar gradually increased, and it had now reached 10%.
"Da, da, da"
The crisp sound of footsteps echoed clearly in the space.
"It seems that this is the true core of Si Yiqi's tomb."
Yun Si Ning thought to herself.
The footsteps disappeared shortly afterward.
She looked up at the massive stone gate in front of her.
The stone gate is magnificent, and its surface, weathered by time, appears mottled and ancient.
The stone door was tightly closed, without a single gap, and had a shallow groove on it.
Yun Si Ning stepped forward and examined it carefully.
This size...
She raised her hand and gestured.
It seems like it's just the right size to put your hand in.
She carefully reached out her hand, her fingertips gently touching the cold groove.
With a loud "boom," the stone gate began to emit a deep and long rumble.
As the sound intensified, the boulders on the stone gate began to tremble slightly, and then gradually separated.
It's open already?
Before Yun Si Ning could even feel happy, a strange smell wafted in from behind the door and entered her nostrils.
This taste... it seems familiar.
wrong!!
Yun Si Ning's pupils contracted sharply; she was all too familiar with that smell.
Before entering this place, the whole mountainside was filled with this smell.
Slug!!
She retreated abruptly, instantly clearing a distance of more than ten meters.
Yun Si Ning was like a cat with its fur standing on end, warily staring in the direction of the giant gate.
If anything goes wrong, she'll definitely run away.
However, after a while, there was no further movement from the giant gate, only a stronger stench emanating from it.
After waiting for another ten minutes or so, and seeing that nothing had changed, Yun Si Ning slowly walked over, still feeling apprehensive.
Once bitten by a snake, twice shy.
Having been ambushed by a slug once before, which nearly cost her her life, Yun Si Ning still harbored some trauma.
She gently patted her chest, trying to comfort herself.
"You're scaring yourself."
"It's alright, it's alright, that big guy is already dead."
And so, Yun Sining slowly walked into the stone gate.
