Chapter 348: Found the framers, run! Sack him

Gurgle.

Ji Zhongwen couldn't help but swallow.

But he felt something being swallowed down.

Then he lost consciousness.

Jiu Li looked at the person who had passed out and asked, "A Li, what are you doing? Bring him along! Isn't he a fine young man?"

"Hmph." Shen Qingli snorted, seeing through these useless little tricks, "Good acting alone—does bringing him hinder my progress?"

"I don't think he's acting!" Jiu Li looked him up and down, "He's also quite good-looking."

"Do you want to hear what you're saying?" Jiu Ying said snidely, "If I go back and tell on you to that person, will you believe me?"

Jiu Li gave it a glance, already rummaging through Ji Zhongwen's belongings.

"What are you doing?" Shen Qingli was speechless.

"Let's see if there's anything good."

Jiu Li searched back and forth but found nothing.

Yu Jia couldn't bear to watch, "The hairpin on top of his head."

Jiu Li immediately pulled out Ji Zhongwen's hairpin, and his black hair scattered.

"Let me check." Xiao Bai grabbed it and examined it, indeed finding storage space inside the hairpin, with quite a few items, "A Li, let me return to the Primordial Spirit Realm so I can open it and look; otherwise the items will spill everywhere."

Shen Qingli naturally agreed, and also held Jiu Li in her arms, "You sure know how to scavenge."

The sedative just used on this guy was also something Jiu Li had previously snatched from Wei San Niang.

"That's right! Li never comes empty-handed." Jiu Li replied proudly.

However, as they walked up the middle passage——

Jiu Li thought of a question: "A Li, what did you feed him? It couldn't be the medicine you took from Wei San Niang, could it?"

"Of course." Shen Qingli didn't have these unorthodox pills herself, "They work quite well—just eat them and you pass out."

"Uh..." Jiu Li scratched his head, worried about a problem: "Wei San Niang's medicine—could it be that kind of medicine?"

"Why not use the Fifth Clan's?"

"Those are all kept at home for the family."

Shen Qingli answered casually, her gaze and attention already drawn to the murals on the wall.

"These are murals depicting the Huaxu Clan." Yu Jia explained.

Jiu Li's attention was immediately drawn as well, "Wow, sparkling."

"It's golden jade essence."

"Gold?"

Jiu Li's eyes also sparkled!

"Don't rummage, it's poisonous."

Yu Jia's words successfully stopped Jiu Li's eager paws.

"If all five senses are closed, this poison can gradually seep into the soul through the senses; by the time it's noticed, there's no cure."

This startling reminder shocked Shen Qingli; she quickly blocked her five senses, but could still hear Yu Jia's voice transmitted through her bloodline.

"A Li, if you follow this passage to the end, it should be the main tomb chamber. I'll go back to rest for a bit, then call me again if needed." Yu Jia doesn't like the outside; without the Primordial Spirit Realm, it feels uncomfortable.

Moreover, its small frame really can't withstand the strain.

Before long, it truly felt tired.

It could sense that, aside from the poison, this passage likely held no other danger.

"Okay."

Shen Qingli sent Yu Jia back.

Xiao Bai said it wanted to come out.

As soon as it came out, it held up a crystal-clear pearl with its dragon claws.

"Night Pearl?" Jiu Li transmitted the thought.

"I don't know, but it can dispel poisonous miasma and provide illumination; I think it should be useful."

"Not bad." Shen Qingli, though she doesn't need light to see the way ahead, thought a bit of brightness would still be good.

One person and three beasts walked slowly toward the main tomb chamber; the darkness they broke through gathered again behind them.

After proceeding like this for about an hour, a large bend finally appeared.

Shen Qingli secretly let out a breath; walking straight ahead all the time had made her dizzy.

"No more murals." Jiu Li was the first to notice.

Shen Qingli held Yu Jia out and asked, "No poison anymore?"

"Gone." Yu Jia replied directly, "We're almost there. I can sense the aura of the Primordial Era."

The Huaxu Clan was born in the Primordial Era! Since the Primordial Era's aura has appeared, it indeed means the main tomb area is approaching.

"Be careful." Yu Jia reminded, "If necessary, you can display your bloodline aura."

Here, the Huaxu bloodline is undoubtedly a passport; it can avoid many deadly dangers.

Shen Qingli understood in her heart, "Alright."

"Someone!" Jiu Li suddenly twitched his ears, "Ahead!"

Its physique, having been healed by Di Jin and recently trained diligently, is indeed much stronger than before, and its sensory sensitivity has naturally improved greatly.

As for Yu Jia, it's still too small; aside from its irreplaceable experience, it basically can't do anything else.

"Are you sure it's a person?" Jiu Ying pondered, "This is a tomb, after all."

"Anyway, it's a living thing." Jiu Li said firmly, "Be careful; the creatures inside are probably all local specialties."

The Huaxu burial grounds have existed since ancient times; those that survived are definitely ancient species! Moreover, they are absolutely the existence of aged essences, hard to deal with.

Shen Qingli had a clear idea in her heart; she had secretly stirred the power of the Huaxu bloodline and, with utmost vigilance, ventured forward!

The Jiuli fell silent, all ready to give their all in a one‑hit‑kill effort.

But—

Shen Qingli, however, slowly halted her steps.

"What's wrong?" Jiuli asked anxiously.

Yujia's claws also tightened, and Xiaobai felt a slight headache.

"Do you guys feel a trace of terrifying aura?"

Shen Qingli silently chanted, and her palms unconsciously oozed fine sweat.

The invisibility grass under her tongue had already been held at the tip of her tongue, ready to be taken at any moment!

It was this trace of aura that had previously locked onto her suddenly and then suddenly dragged her down into the burial grounds.

"No." The Jiuli and the beasts spoke in unison.

Shen Qingli's eyes, now fully darkened, had already seen—

Straight ahead, about a hundred zhang away, there was indeed a human figure!

It wasn't some other form; at the very least, it was a humanoid existence!

Could it be the person who killed over ten Heavenly God Tribe members and made her take the blame?

Then she ought to put him in a sack and give him a thorough questioning!

But just as this thought arose, she saw the other party turn around.

"Hum!"

The dark‑gold pupils pierced the distance of a hundred zhang, precisely locking onto Shen Qingli's location!

But Shen Qingli was already invisible at this moment, so the other party naturally could see nothing.

The Primordial Spirit Realm said that the invisibility grass, once upgraded to breath‑concealing grass, is effective against any living being.

Even so, at the moment their gazes met, Shen Qingli's heart still leapt up a bit.

This was a pair of eyes filled with deathly stillness and killing intent, concealing immense hatred……

It was also this gaze!

That terrifying aura locked onto her once again.

She could not move.

"A Li!"

"Enter the Primordial Spirit Realm quickly!"

"A Li!"

The beasts were all transmitting their thoughts to Shen Qingli.

But they didn't know that she could not move.

The Huaxu bloodline within her body boiled over unprecedentedly, as if about to explode, and Shen Qingli could no longer suppress it.

Even the love curse suppressed by the Huaxu bloodline showed a tendency to surge upward.

"Pfft!"

Shen Qingli spat blood!

"A Li!"

The beasts were greatly startled!

The Jiuli had already gathered power to the utmost!

However, the dark‑gold‑pupiled one who had originally been a hundred zhang away from them, unexpectedly,
