Qin Lingyun felt a surge of great power coming from the sword, her hand shook and the Qingling Sword flew out diagonally, falling to the ground with a clang.

  At this moment, Qin Lingyuns footsteps paused, her body suddenly retreated backwards, narrowly avoiding the green-haired zombies fatal claw.

  Behind her, except for the room with a skull, there was no other way to retreat. The green-haired zombie growled and pounced over, Qin Lingyun had no choice but to retreat into the room.

  The green-haired zombie was about to pounce, but when it saw Qin Lingyun enter the secret room, it stopped in its tracks and only let out a low growl as it paced back and forth outside the room, seemingly fearful of something.

  Qin Lingyun was overjoyed in her heart, she immediately pushed the stone gate shut, touched her forehead, which was full of sweat but exceptionally cold, slowly stabilized her breathing, and her chaotic thoughts gradually cleared up.

  "Its a good thing the green-haired zombie was afraid of something and didnt chase me in, otherwise I would have lost my life here." Qin Lingyun felt a bit regretful and thought to herself: "Qin Lingyun, ah Qin Lingyun, it seems that going through so much still hasnt made you wiser. Youre only at the third layer of Qi Refining, thinking thats enough, that you can handle danger, but in reality, its not. This time I was lucky, but luck wont always be on my side. If I dont wake up and become more alert, one day Ill lose my life."

  The process of treasure hunting is fraught with danger, and without a few lifesaving measures, its better not to get involved lightly. The dangers encountered during this first treasure hunt had a significant impact on Qin Lingyun, allowing her to remain calm in the face of even greater crises and preserve her own life.

  After closing the stone gate, the green-haired zombies voice still came from outside the door, making Qin Lingyuns heart tremble with fear. However, she had not escaped danger yet. At present, she was in a secret room, and the green-haired zombie was guarding outside, wanting to leave this place, which seemed almost impossible for now.

  The green-haired zombies body was impervious to swords and guns, moving as swiftly as the wind. Qin Lingyun being able to escape its stone claws was merely a stroke of luck.

  At the same time, what made Qin Lingyun even more worried was that in the main hall of the tomb, there were three coffins. The green-haired zombie was only inside the slightly smaller crimson stone coffin on the left, and there were also the larger stone coffin in the middle and the slightly smaller stone coffin on the right, which might also have zombies inside. And inside the larger stone coffin in the middle, there might be even more powerful zombies.

  "This time its really hopeless, Qin Lingyun, you must calm down and not panic." Qin Lingyun secretly warned herself, but her hands couldnt help but tremble slightly.

  "Lets take a look at the secret room first. If we can find out why the green-haired zombie is afraid of this room, there might still be a glimmer of hope." Qin Lingyun began to think about what to do next as she gradually calmed down.

  The room was not very large, and at a glance, all the objects were in sight. Right in front of her were three stone chests against the wall, and in the empty space between them, a skull sat cross-legged.

  The surface of the stone box is painted with the same vermilion paint as the outer stone coffin, looking ancient and dignified. The skull was quite strange because its right arm bone was gone.

  "Could it be that this person had an arm cut off in their previous life?" Qin Lingyun secretly speculated.

  The entire skeleton presents a faint silver color, with some metallic texture. The left arm bone is propped against the knee bone, and the skull is slightly lowered. There are no remaining clothes on the skeleton, nor is it known whether they have rotted away.

  Qin Lingyun cautiously walked up to the skull, thinking to herself: "Could it be that the green-haired zombie was afraid of this very skull? But that doesnt make sense, this skull is unusual, but after all, its just a dead object."

  Qin Lingyun couldnt see anything else special, so she shifted her gaze to the stone chests on the side. The three stone chests were of uniform size, about half a meter high and nearly one meter long, with very thick stone lids.

  "It seems that there is no other way but to lift the stone cover and take a look." Qin Lingyun hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided to open the stone cover. She could only try her luck; if she could find a way to restrain the green-haired zombie inside, then she would be able to leave the tomb smoothly. If not, then she would have to wait and think of another plan.

  Even if there was danger inside the stone coffin, Qin Lingyun had no way to retreat. The eerie cries of the green-haired zombie pierced her ears every now and then, reminding her that the crisis still existed.

  Qin Lingyun pressed both hands on the sides of the stone cover and lifted it with force. The stone cover was indeed as heavy as she had expected, and as soon as she lifted it, a purple glow burst out from inside, stinging her eyes so that she couldnt open them, and tears rolled down uncontrollably.

  Qin Lingyun hastily loosened her hands and didnt care about the stone cover, her body leaped backward, and this action caused that purple awn to rush out, almost crashing into her body.

  Qin Lings spiritual energy surged, and a flame butterfly appeared in her hand. At the same time, she quickly pinched her fingers to form a seal, and an ice cone appeared in front of her, floating in mid-air. After completing these actions swiftly, Qin Lings eyes recovered somewhat, and she managed to open a slit, discovering that the purple light was no longer dazzling, but instead rapidly rushing towards her.

  Fingers bent and stretched, the ice cone rushed towards the purple light.

  A burst of "chi" sound, an icy cone pierced the air, and a purple light agilely dodged the ice cone that came rushing from above Qin Lingyuns head.

  Qin Lingyun calmly raised the Hu Die silk above her head, and the purple light happened to hit the Hu Die silk. All that could be heard were two "zip" sounds, and the purple light was bounced out, hitting the wall and tumbling in mid-air several times before stabilizing its shape.

  It seemed to have realized that Qin Lingyun was not easy to deal with, and the purple light quietly stayed in mid-air, confronting Qin Lingyun.

  Qin Lingyuns eyes scanned the surroundings, but she still couldnt see what was inside the purple light. However, her intuition told her that whatever was inside the purple light was dangerous and must not be allowed to get close to her.

  That purple light moved extremely quickly, and Qin Lingyun wanted to hit it with her Ice Arrow Technique, which was almost impossible. The Ice Arrow Technique was originally just a low-level spell. At the same time, that purple light also had some difficulty attacking Qin Lingyun, and both sides were at an impasse for a short while.

  At last, the purple light seemed to be unbearable and transformed into a purple spear that rushed towards Qin Lingyun. At the same time, Qin Lingyuns ice cone was released, and several consecutive ice cones were dodged by the purple light, but also blocked its advancing speed.

  Qin Lingyun after all only had a cultivation of three layers of refining Qi, with limited spiritual energy within her body. Even if she released the Ice Arrow Technique, such a low-level technique, she could only cast it a limited number of times. Once her internal spiritual energy was exhausted, the Ice Arrow Technique couldnt be released anymore. That purple light continued to dodge the ice cones transformed by the Ice Arrow Technique, seemingly intent on exhausting Qin Lingyuns spiritual energy.

  Qin Lingyun didnt dare not to cast a spell, although Hu Dieying could deflect the purple light, it was because the purple light was careless at first, but now that the purple light knew how formidable Hu Dieying was, when flying in mid-air, she dodged Hu Dieying. Its clear that the speed of the purple light flying is faster than Qin Lingyun swinging Hu Dieying.

  Qin Lings spiritual energy was rapidly depleting, and her smooth forehead began to seep with fine beads of sweat as she desperately tried to prevent the purple light from approaching her side.

  But she gradually began to feel tired, and the purple light took advantage of Hu Dies distraction, flashing over to Qin Lingyuns wrist. The purple light wrapped around her wrist, and immediately Qin Lingyun felt a severe pain.

  Then, the purple light condensed into a ball and drilled into Qin Lingyuns body, while the thing inside the purple light revealed its appearance.

  This was a strange little beast, with the head of a small dog and the body of a lion, with a pair of pale blue wings on its back. The pupils in its eyes were an eerie dark purple. From its mouth protruded two sharp fangs, which had bitten down on Qin Lingyus wrist, sinking into the flesh, and thin streams of fresh blood flowed out from the sides.

  Qin Lingyun decisively reached out with her other hand to grab the small beast, at which point her body was enveloped in a surge of purple energy. The mass of purple light rushed into her head, and immediately her body went limp and fell to the ground.

  Qin Lingyun was like falling into a dream, everything in front of her seemed to be misty, and her body shone with a dreamy halo like a bubble. She transformed into a cluster of light, wandering in the endless ocean, vaguely, nothing was clear.

  At this moment, a purple light appeared in the void ocean, and as soon as it saw Qin Lingyuns transformed light group, it immediately pounced on it like a hungry tiger.

  With the eerie cackling laughter, a massive suction force emerged from the purple light cluster, attempting to engulf Qin Lingyun. The suction force of the purple light cluster was extremely powerful, and the light cluster transformed by Qin Lingyun seemed like an infant who had just learned to walk in front of it, without any ability to fight back.

  Just as the light sphere transformed by Qin Lingyun was about to be engulfed by the purple light sphere, a strange wave surged up from the depths of the Void Ocean. A bright green light turned into a sharp arrow and shot over, instantly piercing through the purple light sphere, causing it to burst into hundreds of fragments from the middle.

  Those purple light clusters that burst into fragments had a strong attraction to the light cluster transformed by Qin Lingyun, so under an instinctual need, Qin Lingyun rushed over and began to devour those purple light cluster fragments wildly.

  Every time she swallowed a small piece, the light group transformed by Qin Lingyun would become much larger, and after swallowing all the fragments, the light group was almost several times larger than before.

  At this time, a jade hairpin rose from the void ocean below, emitting a faint green glow...

  Its unknown how long had passed, but Qin Lingyun slowly came to. She gazed at the top of the secret room inlaid with eight fluorescent stones, her expression somewhat dazed. Her memories, which had transformed into a ball of light, were somewhat hazy and unclear. At the same time, there were many memories that didnt belong to her in her mind.

  Without having time to sort out her memories, Qin Lingyun first used her hand to prop herself up and slowly sat up. Her body was like it had contracted a serious illness, with every part of her feeling weak and powerless. As she glanced around, she saw a strange small beast curled up beside her foot, its life or death unknown. The blood from the wound on her wrist had already coagulated.

  Qin Lingyuns gaze was fixed on her wrist, where a faint purple glow emanated from the congealed blood.
