541 Skull
Han Shi was silent.
He knew that his strength was inferior to Qin Xi’s. He couldn’t help at all. He felt a deep sense of loss and defeat. However, at the same time, Qin Xi was right. If he really wanted to help Xi, he could only try his best not to hinder her.
Han Shi took a deep breath and restrained his bad mood. He pulled her into his arms. “Xi, promise me that if you’re no match for him, you’ll retreat immediately. I don’t want anything to happen to you.”
Qin Xi leaned against Han Shi’s firm chest and sniffed his familiar scent. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly. “Yes, I know. I cherish my life very much!”
Han Shi looked at the cave entrance. For some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching. He had a bad feeling. He tightened his grip on the woman in his arms and lowered his head to plant a kiss on her forehead.
“I believe you. Let’s go in!”
Qin Xi nodded. The two of them entered the cave hand in hand. It was not as dark as they had imagined. From time to time, a light source would shine in. The light was very gentle, allowing them to clearly observe the environment in the cave.
There was a strange silence here. Apart from the two of them, there were no other signs of life.
However, Qin Xi knew that the Patriarch in seclusion was inside.
Indeed, not long after, a stone door appeared in front of them. The stone door was closed.
There was a skull carved on the stone door, the eyes of which were burning with flames.
Qin Xi suddenly became vigilant. She squeezed Han Shi’s palm and said, “Be careful. This is not a decoration. It’s his guardian corpse.”
Han Shi’s expression immediately became solemn. Today, he had seen more than ten corpse children, all of whom were killed by the dark fire.
At that time, he only felt that the corpse children were strange, but he did not feel much pressure or threat. However, the one in front of him made him feel threatened, as if its burning eyes could devour everything. It was even more terrifying than the previous ten combined.
“Who are you?”
At this moment, the skull on the stone door suddenly spoke. Its voice was filled with sinisterness, making Qin Xi and Han Shi shudder at the same time.
Qin Xi pretended to be frightened. She glanced at Han Shi, indicating for him not to act rashly. Then, she hurriedly cupped her fists and bowed respectfully to the skull. She lowered her head slightly, as if she did not dare to look him in the eye.
Her voice was slightly hoarse as she said with a choked voice, “I’m Muxue, Yin Yongtai is my grandfather. Please inform my great-grandfather that the Yin family has been destroyed!”
The skull on the stone door clearly did not expect to receive such shocking news. In an instant, black fog surrounded the skull, and a corpse child appeared.
The corpse child in front of her looked very different from the other corpse child, Its entire face was covered in dense wrinkles.
In particular, it was emitting a strong aura of death. The dense aura of death emitted a smell of corrosion. In fact, wherever the black fog touched, even the stone wall would be corroded.
