Chapter 224 Blood Shadow Soul Chasing Bow, Tiangang Star Fight
Meng Ziyi was still a little worried: "Mr. Ye, I think this is still risky. What if we unfortunately encounter danger?"
"Don't worry, I still have you." Ye Bai vowed, "I can't bear to leave you in a place like this to feed the insects and ants."
Meng Ziyi's face flushed slightly: "This..."
Yang Mi chuckled beside her: "Sister Meng, don't worry, with Mr. Ye by your side, there will be no problem."
Her persuasion seemed to work, Meng Ziyi no longer insisted and nodded.
The two of them returned along the same route and soon arrived at the cave they had entered the tomb from. After searching the cave, they found nothing suspicious.
Yang Mi sat on the stone slab in frustration, complaining, "It's all that annoying skeleton's fault. If it hadn't been blocking our way, we would have left long ago."
"Stop talking." Ye Bai stopped her, his expression serious: "The most important thing now is to find a way to crack this mechanism."
Meng Ziyi also nodded in agreement.
"This mechanism should be designed according to the eight trigrams. Only by moving in the direction of the eight trigrams can it be activated." She searched the cave carefully with a flashlight. "But where are these eight trigrams?"
Ye Bai was also carefully examining his surroundings. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind. He pointed to a stone slab in front of him on the right and said, "Perhaps we should try to move this stone from over there."
"Okay, I'll move it." Meng Ziyi immediately stood up and walked towards Ye Bai. When she arrived in front of the stone slab and was about to start, she suddenly stopped.
"No!" She whispered, turned and rushed towards Ye Bai: "Go! Run!"
"What's wrong?" Ye Bai was startled and took a step back subconsciously. Then he heard a shrill scream, as if countless sharp blades were cutting through the air, piercing their eardrums.
Several arrows brushed past Ye Bai's shoulders and flew out, hitting the wall behind him and sinking deep into the wooden wall.
Meng Ziyi pulled Ye Bai back, looking around vigilantly as he retreated.
"Oh no!" she murmured. "I forgot to remind you..."
"Remind me of what?"
"That's the arrow from the Blood Shadow Soul Chasing Bow."
Her voice trembled, a hint of tears lingering in her voice. "This is a deadly weapon. As long as the arrow is stained with blood, it will track the target until the person is killed!"
"what?!"
"It is an evil weapon, designed to hunt living creatures!"
Yang Mi also said, her voice trembling: "It is said that this arrow only needs to be stained with the slightest bit of blood to lock onto the prey and chase it to death."
Ye Bai opened his eyes wide in horror.
He had never expected that he would end up in such a dangerous situation.
"What should we do? We can't escape now..."
Meng Ziyi's face was pale, obviously he was terrified to the extreme.
"Shut up!" Ye Bai yelled, then raised his flashlight and looked around. This narrow passage was wide enough for five or six people to walk side by side, but apart from the three of them, there was no one else, let alone a living person.
"We can't just wait to die like this. We must find a way to break this mechanism!" Ye Bai clenched his fists and smashed them hard on the ground, but the ground only shook slightly and made muffled sounds without any reaction.
Seeing that he was no longer as cheerful as usual, Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi also kept their mouths shut and stared at Ye Bai silently, hoping that he could find a solution.
Ye Bai squatted down and stared at the ground. After a moment, he suddenly stretched out his left hand and grabbed a protruding stone brick on the ground. He exerted force suddenly and lifted the stone brick up, revealing a section of iron pipe inside.
The iron pipe was about the thickness of an adult man's arm, and its surface was intricately carved, giving it a rather antique look. Beneath this section of iron pipe lay a neatly folded roll of brown paper.
Ye Bai opened the scroll and saw that it was covered with densely written words.
"Is this 'Tian Gang Xing Dou'?" Ye Bai asked in surprise, "This is a book about divination and astrology."
He flipped through the pages, his brow furrowing as he read. "The content recorded here is indeed related to astrology, but for some reason, it always deviates from the correct direction."
"Not only that." Meng Ziyi said: "There is a sentence at the end of this book——"
"The constellations of the Heavenly Gang, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes nine, and nine becomes eighty-one."
"Yes, this is indeed one of the Big Dipper."
"But why does this book have such a strange prophecy?" Yang Mi asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Ye Bai shook his head. "Anyway, I think we must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise we will suffer an accident."
Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi pulled the two of them up without hesitation and ran out quickly.
At this moment, the ground shook violently again, accompanied by a rumbling sound, and the water in the underground river became turbulent and surging.
Ye Bai looked up at the ceiling and saw that the huge stone door was slowly closing.
The moment the stone door closed, he seemed to see countless hideous and terrifying faces, twisting madly and rushing towards him, wanting to tear his flesh and blood apart!
"Be careful!" He struggled to break free from Meng Ziyi's hand, threw the two women out, and then jumped onto the stone wall. With the help of the strong elastic force, he jumped high and landed on the ground.
However, at this moment, there was another violent shaking under his feet.
"Boom!"
The ground collapsed, and countless pieces of rubble fell, blocking the underground palace tightly.
"Brother Ye!" Meng Ziyi was extremely anxious and wanted to climb up and save people immediately.
But she quickly calmed down: "No, we have to leave here first! Otherwise we will be buried alive!"
Yang Mi also reacted and said quickly: "Yes, let's go!"
She held onto the ground and stood up with difficulty. Meng Ziyi quickly helped her and climbed out together.
"Let's leave the underground palace first." She said, panting.
The three of them hurriedly ran out of the underground palace. As soon as they walked out of the cave, Ye Bai suddenly stopped.
Meng Ziyi was stunned and looked up, only to see a group of evil spirits covered in black with loose hair rushing towards them.
Meng Ziyi was so frightened that she almost cried out. She covered her mouth tightly and looked at Yang Mi in panic: "Yang Mi, what should I do?"
Yang Mi's face was as pale as paper. She desperately hid behind Meng Ziyi and said tremblingly: "What...what are these...why...I feel a chill..."
Meng Ziyi swallowed his saliva and stammered, "It's...it's a ghost..."
"What... ghost?" Yang Mi was puzzled: "Where did the ghost come from..."
Ye Bai's pupils shrank as he looked at the group of evil spirits in front of him. These ghosts weren't real evil spirits, but rather vengeful spirits formed from the accumulation of resentment. Imprisoned in the underground palace, they constantly absorbed the remaining evil energy within, gradually growing stronger and forming this terrifying group of evil spirits.
