Li Mu stared at the corpse bones, not daring to act rashly.

"Li Mu, how's it going?"

Lin Kun got out of the hole, and Li Mu scolded in a low voice, "Idiot, didn't I tell you not to come out? Why didn't you listen to me?"

"Miss Lin was worried and she asked the three of us to come to help you!" Lin Kun replied in a low voice.

At this moment, he also saw the bones and couldn't help but let out a cry.

"Who is this?"

"I don't know. Don't touch anything here and be careful!"

While they were talking, the two girls also got out. When they saw the corpse bones, they also found it a little strange.

"Brother Mu, how about we just chop off his head?" Shen Zixing suggested in a low voice.

Li Mu hesitated and asked her, "Can corpse bones be made into corpse puppets?"

"No, corpse bones are just corpse bones. Ordinary bodies are useless unless they’re the Corpse of Death Bone."

"Then don't touch him. It is very large here, unlike the stone house we saw earlier. I suspect that this is an underground stone room. Everyone spread out to find the exit. Remember, don't touch anything!"

The four of them spread out to search. The exit was easy to find, and they found it almost in the blink of an eye.

There was a corridor in the opposite direction of the corpse bones. A staircase went up step by step, and cold wind was blowing down from above. It seemed the stone room was certainly at the end of the stairs.

Li Mu instructed the two girls to bring the others up, and he shook his head at Lin Kun. The two of them each held an entrenching shovel and walked up the stairs slowly.

At the end of the stairs was the stone room. There was no one in the room. Li Mu asked Lin Kun to guard at the entrance of the stairs. He reached the gate of the yard alone and looked out secretly.

After a while, Li Mu heard faint footsteps behind him, but he didn't turn his head because he knew that it was his companions following him.

"What did you find?" Lin Wan came to his side and asked softly.

"Apart from this stone house, all the other rooms in the yard are occupied. I don't know their background or whether they are our enemies or friends!"

"Could it be those corpse puppets?"

"Do corpse puppets use fire? They’re not corpse puppets, but people!"

Lin Wan approached him and carefully observed the surroundings. He was right. There were traces of people moving in the yards in the distance, and white smoke was coming from the chimneys in some rooms.

After the two observed for a while, Li Mu said to her, "There are two ways. One is to sneak away from the back of the village quietly and bypass the village from a distance. The other is to find out who they are and try to get their help."

Lin Wan hesitated for a while, and then said to Li Mu, "The second way. Xiaoyu's injury can't be delayed any longer. If we delay, I'm afraid she will suffer the pain of a second broken bone. Let's seek help and let Xiaoyu get treatment as soon as possible."

"Honey, could they be your people?"

"It's hard to say. Maybe they’re from Shen Family!"

Li Mu became upset immediately. He wasn't ready for a showdown, and he was most afraid of seeing Shen Family now, especially his ex-girlfriend Shen Xingyue.

After all, it was him who was at fault. No one had forced him to propose or get married. Even if there were many excuses, he couldn't just run away. He didn't know how to explain his leaving without saying goodbye.

Seeing his hesitation, Lin Wan whispered, "Let's do it this way. Send Mrs. Hong and Lin Kun go to explore the way. We will go back to the stone house and wait for news."

At the entrance of the protection formation, Third Grandmother frowned and said, "No, it's definitely not right. It's been such a long time, and no one has come out yet. Did something happen to them? Mr. Lin, don't wait any longer. Let's go in and have a look!"

"Okay, Third sister, I'll go in with you!"

Third Grandmother said to her daughter, "Don't walk around after you get in there. Follow me closely. You don't have to be afraid of the protection formation, but you are an ordinary person. If you walk around, you might encounter danger, so don't try to be brave."

"Well, don't worry. Mother, I know what I’m doing!"

The three immediately set off. They walked through the corridor, and walked into the protection formation together. Looking at the endless blood-colored valley, Third Uncle asked in a deep voice, "Third sister, do we need to break through?"

"That's the most stupid way. Although it won't be dangerous, it's too much time-consuming. There is a secret passage to the gold mine. Let's go directly to there to find them."

Third Grandmother took out a small knife from her pocket and pierced her wrist. Blood gurgled out and scattered on the ground without seeping.

"Mother!" Shen Xingyue cried out in distress.

"I’m fine. I will go back and eat more meat!"

Third Grandmother comforted her daughter. Seeing that the blood was almost gathered, she quickly took out a tube of blue ointment from her pocket and applied it to her wounded wrist. The bleeding was stopped immediately.

"Third sister, let’s take a break!" Third Uncle kindly advised.

"I'm not that fragile. Stop talking nonsense and come with me!"

Third Grandmother was not so polite with Lin Family. Third Uncle smiled awkwardly and didn't care about her rude attitude.

Third Grandmother muttered in such a low voice that Shen Xingyue couldn't hear what she was saying.

In the end, Third Grandmother pointed to the pool of blood and said, "Rise!"

Strangely enough, the scattered blood on the ground quickly condensed into a ball, and then quickly swam forward.

Third Grandmother took her daughter's hand and followed closely behind it, and Third Uncle also hurriedly followed.

Shen Xingyue was pulled by Third Grandmother. While walking, she looked around and found herself especially interested in those blood-red stones.

"Mother, the shapes of these stones are so strange. What do you think they look like?"

"Xingyue, don't look at those stones. They are nothing but stones!"

Miss Shen became even more curious. What was it? Why was her mother so mysterious?

Third Uncle said behind her, "Thousands of men were slaughtered. Your Shen Family is really something!"

Third Grandmother responded coldly, "Our Shen Family has never killed innocent people. If they didn't go after the gold mine, how could they have been killed? They were asking for trouble. Our Shen Family did nothing wrong."

Shen Xingyue realized something. Her face turned pale immediately, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Mother, these are all..."

"It's alright. Try not to look down. If you don't see it, you won't be afraid."

While they were talking, the blood ball swam towards one side of the valley wall, and Third Grandmother smiled, "Okay, here we are!"

The blood ball began to spread out, and it got bigger and bigger. Suddenly, the blood sank into the valley wall.

Then a stone door was revealed, and the two-door panels were opened wide, and a dazzling golden light shot out from the inside.

Third Grandmother took her daughter's hand and walked directly into the stone gate. Third Uncle followed closely.

After passing through the stone gate, they came to a huge cave with large porcelain altars stacked everywhere, and the air was filled with a thick sour gas.

"They're not here!" Third Grandmother said in surprise.

Third Uncle quickly patrolled the cave and asked Third Grandmother, "Third sister, what's going on?"

"I don't know. They broke through Realm of Seven Emotions. They should have appeared here. How can there be no one here? It's really strange."

"Mom, is it possible that they didn't come in and went back?"

"There is only one way forward, unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless one is strong enough to break the barrier, and the original path can be opened for him one more time. But how is this possible? Who would have such great ability?"

"Brother Mu would!"

"Don’t you think too highly of his ability?"

"I don't think so. I think he can do it. No, he certainly could!"

"Third sister, what should we do now?" Third Uncle asked anxiously.

Third Grandmother pondered slightly and said to him, "Let's go back first. We can’t stay here. It is a bit troublesome. We will discuss it after we go back!"

The three of them returned along the same route. After they came out of the corridor, the family members of both sides gathered around. Third Grandmother briefly introduced the situation. After hearing her words, everyone was surprised and couldn't help but talk about it.

Crew Cut Taoist did not participate in the discussion, and he thought about it with his hands behind his back.

Third Grandmother asked him, "Hubby, what are you thinking?"

"Darling, do you think there is a second escape route?"

As soon as he said it, the people immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at him, not understanding why he had said this.

"Brother, have you found anything?" Fourth Uncle asked.

"No, I just think it's very unreasonable for them to do so. They didn't escape when they had the chance but tried to get themselves killed. Were they planning to commit suicide?"

Everyone nodded slowly, feeling that it made sense.

From the perspective of human nature, once anyone found an opportunity to escape, his instinct to survive would force him to make the right choice, and not many people would choose to get themselves killed, unless they wanted to die.

Did Lin Wan and others want to commit suicide? Obviously not. Then why did they give up this chance to escape? Maybe they had found a better escape route, as Crew Cut Taoist said.

"I'll go ask elder brother!" Third Grandmother turned and ran towards the pool.

Third Uncle gave Fifth Brother’s wife a look. The latter took the hint and followed Third Grandmother closely.

The big guy was too big to come here. Shen Family had left him on Three Stones Mountain and strictly ordered those corpse puppets and beasts not to move around. It was somehow a great convenience for Li Mu and others.

Not long after the two left, a clansman of Shen Family hurried over and shouted to them, "Third Grandmother asked me to inform you that there is no one in the protection formation. You’d better hurry up!"

It was like cold water dripping into a frying pan. After a long time, they returned to Three Stones Mountain. From far away, they heard Third Grandmother reprimanding the big guy in a loud voice.

Shen Xingyue hurried over and asked anxiously, "Mother, what happened? How did they escape?"

"Go ask what First Uncle forgot to say. It’s really pissing me off!"

Shen Xingyue felt confused and asked the big guy, "Grandpa, what did you forget to say?"

"Hole!"

"What hole?"

"Hole!"

"The hole leading to the gold mine?"

The big guy nodded.

"Why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"Nobody asked!"

Miss Shen was speechless. Knowing that no matter how she blamed Grandpa, it wouldn't help, so she asked in a nice tone, "Grandpa, where is the exit of the hole?"

The big guy pointed at Jiu Feng Gou and said sullenly, "Stone house!"
