I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"That's it." Ru Jing summoned the magic mirror and shone the mirror light onto the ground and the pillar respectively. He seemed to have read some information and his expression brightened a little.

"What's wrong?" Manjushage asked worriedly.

"This hole has existed for a much shorter time than the bell tower. It must have been built by later generations." As she said this, her eyes unconsciously glanced at Luo Shiqi.

"In other words, whether it is the creator of this void or the person who built the palace, they may be related to me?" Without waiting for her to explain, Luo Shiqi took the initiative to ask.

Rujing nodded, and added just in case: "I have seen Mr. Luo Shiqi fighting on the battlefield. Your magic should have the ability to weaken the target or even eliminate it, but it is ineffective for opening the magic circle."

In other words, Luo Shiqi was just able to break the seal on Zhong Ling Shengyin's body, but to open the entrance to the tomb, he had to do it himself.

It's like it was tailor-made for him.

"That's great, there might be clues related to your past here." Manjushage looked at Luo Shiqi happily, but found that his expression was a little dull.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that if this place was really related to Luo Shiqi, then who was in the tomb?

His family, friends, or former lover?

However, it turned out that she was totally overthinking it.

Luo Shiqi timidly approached Manjusaka and said to her in a very small voice: "It's so dark here, so eerie and scary."

Hearing this, Manjushage couldn't help laughing.

His adult appearance was so deceptive that everyone forgot that not long ago, Luo Shiqi was just a little kid who knew nothing.

"It's okay, everyone is with you, don't be afraid." Manjushage patted Luo Shiqi's strong back, and there was no sign of boredom on her beautiful face.

"Yeah, that's right." He strode forward confidently, but was quickly frightened back.

"Snake, there is a snake!" Luo Shiqi was so scared that he shrank behind Manjushage.

There were lifelike giant snakes coiled on the two pillars supporting the gate, and even the patterns on the snake scales were carved clearly. No wonder he was scared away.

"Hmm? Aren't snakes very cute creatures?" Just as Manjushage was trying to find a way to comfort Luo Shiqi, Thesis suddenly spoke up.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about the word 'cute'?" Luo Shiqi's face turned pale and he looked at Thesis as if he was looking at a monster.

"Ah, in my hometown, brave men think snakes are cute. If you are afraid of poisonous snakes, you won't be able to raise your head in front of the woman you like." Thesis looked at Luo Shiqi with interest, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at Manjusaka.

Luo Shiqi looked up at Manjushage and found that she had a calm expression.

The book says that there are always turbulent undercurrents beneath the seemingly calm surface of a lake.

Maybe she had already been disgusted with herself in her heart, thinking "You're such a coward, I'm so disappointed", but she didn't say it out of face.

Thinking of this, Luo Shiqi pretended nothing had happened, barely stood up straight, volunteered to walk in front, looked straight ahead, and never looked at anything he shouldn't look at.

"Yes... yes, it's just a poisonous snake, not scary at all." As he said this, his legs trembled unconsciously.

Thesis's smiling eyes seemed to say that it would be helpful for him to practice courage.

Manjushage nodded and was about to chase after him, but unexpectedly found something wrong.

"Mr. Tesis, your eyes seem to be a little different?" One might not notice it at ordinary times, but in this dark environment, with the help of the firelight, one can clearly see that his left and right eyes are inconsistent.

There seems to be a vertical pupil hidden in the pupil of the left eye, like the eye of a snake.

The vertical pupil in the right eye is more obvious, so large that it almost takes up the entire eye.

"Really? I haven't noticed it before." It was also the first time that Thesis realized that his eyes were different from those of ordinary people.

It would be more strange if he was able to escape from the sea prison despite having the prisoner's mark on his body. There is nothing special about him.

In front of us was the golden flame of Luo Shiqi and the candlelight in the palace. Even though it was dark in the cave, the visibility was not low.

But somehow, Manjushage clearly felt that the surroundings were gradually getting darker, all the sounds disappeared, no one was here, and she was the only one left.

Just as she was wondering, two huge and dazzling white lights suddenly appeared in front of her. The light was extremely unnatural, and the shape was a little strange upon closer inspection.

Two patches of white light covering a large area look like vertical pupils.

"No way." Manjushage felt flustered.

The white light in front of him, which was as huge as a boulder, suddenly began to shake and spread to the upper and lower sides, one section at a time, constantly bending, entwining and interlacing. There were also neatly arranged lines on it, which looked somewhat similar to scales upon closer inspection.

Coupled with the long, endless white light path, it was like a giant snake with an extremely thick body, which even the vastest mountains could not compare to.

Manjushage suddenly remembered that she had seen a similar scene when she met Tethys last time.

But at the time she thought it was an illusion, so she ignored it.

No, to be honest, even the scene she saw now, she still thought it was just her imagination.

After all, if that were true, it would be hard to imagine what would happen in the future.

“Manjushage, why don’t you come with me? Wuuuuuuu——” At this time, Luo Shiqi was halfway there when he found that Manjushage was not following him. The courage that he had finally mustered up was instantly wiped out.

He ran back regardless of everything, hugging Lycoris radiata and crying.

"It's okay, you've tried very hard." Manjushage touched Luo Shiqi's bright silver hair to show encouragement.

As the strongest magician, he is surprisingly timid. It seems that he needs more training.

Manjushage took the initiative to grab Luo Shiqi's hand and led him inside, and the others followed closely behind.

Compared to the gorgeous exterior, the design inside the palace is much simpler. There is nothing on both sides of the long corridor except for the candlesticks that light up automatically.

After all, this is just a mausoleum. Being too ostentatious might disturb the dead.

At the end of the palace is a spacious tomb chamber filled with dolls of various shapes, some sleeping, some walking upright, some standing still, some angry and depressed, and some cheering. All kinds of movements and expressions are available, and they are portrayed vividly.

The most important thing is that these dolls have almost the same face and almost identical features.

Except for a few that are alone, most of the puppets are in pairs.

Overall, there are only two types of dolls among the hundreds of dolls in the tomb.

One was a fairly pretty girl with long flowing hair, and the other was a handsome young man with silver hair and golden eyes and a long braid at the back of his neck.

The dolls are very well preserved and the carving skills are extraordinary. They are almost recognizable at a glance. The male doll represents Luo Shiqi.

Everyone was surprised when he lit the golden flame and revealed the scene inside the tomb.

Doyle made a horrified expression: "Could the owner of the tomb be Luo Shiqi? Is he actually dead?"

"What are you talking about? I'm alive and well, right, Manjushage?" Luo Shiqi was so scared that his body was shaking wildly, but he stubbornly wanted to pretend to be calm. It was probably because he was too embarrassed just now and wanted to take the opportunity to save some face.

"In short, let me go first." Manjushage was hugged tightly by Luo Shiqi, and she could hardly breathe.

Manjushage didn't know who the owner of the tomb was. She only understood one thing: Luo Shiqi was incredibly strong. If he didn't let go, there would be another person in this mausoleum.

"I'm sorry, are you okay?" Hearing this, Luo Shiqi hurriedly let her go and asked anxiously.

"It's okay, I'm not going to die yet." Manjushage tried hard to adjust her breathing. It was so comfortable to be held by his strong muscles. However, her breathing was not smooth and she couldn't smell the charming scent of sweat on his body.

"Why are you so timid? You can't protect others like this. Be careful or your sister will abandon you." Doyle threatened Luo Shiqi viciously.

"Manjushage, don't leave me!" Luo Shiqi really wanted to hug her tightly again, but after what happened just now, he could only stare at her. The pleading look in his eyes was so adorable that anyone would be moved, let alone Manjushage who had long been attracted to him.

"Don't worry, even if you are useless, I won't despise you." Manjushage replied with a smile, but for some reason, Luo Shiqi felt even more sad.

"Please don't comfort me like that, it hurts!" he wailed.
