Huo Jilin and Qingluan walked into the mysterious and gloomy ancient tomb carefully. As soon as they stepped into the tomb door, a smell of decay came to their faces.

"Be careful, it may not be simple here." Huo Jilin frowned, holding his sword tightly in his hand, and observing the surroundings vigilantly.

Qingluan nodded and followed Huo Jilin.

The two continued to go deeper, and saw that the tomb passage was filled with strange fog, and black blood was slowly flowing under their feet, emitting a pungent fishy smell.

"What the hell is this?" Qingluan covered her mouth and nose and said with disgust.

Huo Jilin squatted down, dipped a little black blood with his fingers, observed it carefully, and said: "This black blood is full of evil spirits, it must be extraordinary."

At this moment, Qingluan accidentally stepped on a loose stone slab and triggered the mechanism instantly.

"Be careful!" Huo Jilin shouted loudly, but it was too late.

A large amount of mercury gushed out from all directions. Qingluan was unable to dodge and was caught in a powerful force, trapped on a huge stone.

"Help! Huo Jilin!" Qingluan shouted in fear. Her body was tightly bound by mercury and could not move.

Huo Jilin was anxious. He rushed to the boulder and tried to pull Qingluan out.

"Don't be afraid, Qingluan, I will save you!" Huo Jilin said loudly.

However, the power of mercury was extremely strong, and Huo Jilin's efforts were useless.

"Damn it!" Huo Jilin cursed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He looked at Qingluan's painful appearance and secretly made up his mind to save her.

Huo Jilin took a deep breath, calmed down, and said, "Qingluan, hold on, I will find a way."

Qingluan bit her lip and said, "Huo Jilin, don't worry about me, go by yourself."

"What nonsense! How could I leave you!" Huo Jilin shouted angrily.

Huo Jilin closed his eyes and began to mobilize the mysterious power of Taoism in his body. A faint light appeared around him, and his hands formed a complex seal.

"Break it for me!" Huo Jilin shouted and injected the power of Taoism into the mercury.

However, the mercury only trembled slightly and still tightly bound Qingluan.

Huo Jilin was unwilling to give up and increased the output of Taoism again.

"Huo Jilin, don't waste your energy, go quickly!" Qingluan cried.

Huo Jilin gritted his teeth and said, "No, I won't give up!"

At this time, Huo Jilin's heart was full of anxiety and determination. He knew that if he couldn't rescue Qingluan, he would never forgive himself.

"There must be a way, there must be!" Huo Jilin kept encouraging himself in his heart.

He suddenly remembered a method of cracking that he had seen in an ancient book, and decided to take a risk.

Huo Jilin adjusted his breath again, condensed the power of Taoism in his palm, and then slapped the boulder.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a crack appeared on the boulder.

"It worked!" Huo Jilin's eyes flashed with surprise.

He continued to exert the power of Taoism with all his strength, and the cracks in the boulder became larger and larger.

Finally, with Huo Jilin's unremitting efforts, the boulder broke, and the restraint of mercury was also released.

Qingluan fell from the boulder, and Huo Jilin quickly reached out to catch her.

"Qingluan, are you okay?" Huo Jilin asked with concern.

Qingluan smiled weakly: "I'm fine, thanks to you."

Huo Jilin breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's good that you're fine, let's leave here quickly."

The two supported each other and continued to explore the ancient tomb, but they felt more concerned and dependent on each other.

Huo Jilin and Qingluan had just gotten rid of the predicament of mercury, and before they had time to catch their breath, they heard a low roar from the depths of the ancient tomb.

"What is this again?" Qingluan's voice was trembling.

Huo Jilin held Qingluan's hand tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The two walked cautiously towards the source of the sound. In the darkness, pairs of red eyes gradually appeared.

"It's a group of monsters!" Qingluan exclaimed.

Huo Jilin drew out his sword, protected Qingluan in front of him, and said: "No matter what it is, I won't let them hurt you."

The monsters pounced on him with their fangs and claws, and Huo Jilin waved his sword to fight, the sword light flashed, and he started a fierce fight with the monsters.

"Huo Jilin, be careful behind you!" Qingluan warned loudly.

Huo Jilin turned around and stabbed a monster that was trying to sneak attack.

"Qingluan, stay away!" Huo Jilin shouted.

Qingluan said anxiously: "I won't leave you alone!"

During the battle, Huo Jilin found that although these monsters were ferocious, their actions seemed to have a certain pattern.

"Qingluan, pay attention to their movements."Look for any flaws!" Huo Jilin said as he fended off the monsters' attacks.

Qingluan nodded and observed intently.

"I found that after each attack, they would pause for a short time!" Qingluan shouted excitedly.

Huo Jilin heard this and seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack when the monsters paused. One monster after another fell under his sword.

Finally, all the monsters were repelled.

"Huh, it's finally solved." Huo Jilin said panting.

Qingluan walked up and handed him a handkerchief: "Wipe your sweat."

Huo Jilin took the handkerchief and said with a smile: "Thank you."

The two continued to move forward and came to a huge tomb. There was a sarcophagus in the tomb, surrounded by strange runes.

"This sarcophagus looks unusual." Qingluan said.

Huo Jilin approached the sarcophagus cautiously and said: "Be careful of the trap. "

Just then, the sarcophagus suddenly shook violently.

"No, let's go!" Huo Jilin pulled Qingluan back.

The lid of the sarcophagus slowly opened, and a strong breath rushed to his face.

"What on earth is this?" Qingluan asked in horror.

A figure slowly rose from the sarcophagus, and it turned out to be a mysterious man in ancient costume.

"Those who trespass here will die!" The mysterious man said coldly.

Huo Jilin said: "Senior, we have no intention of offending, we just strayed into this place."

The mysterious man snorted coldly: "Don't quibble!"

As he said, the mysterious man raised his hand and waved, and a powerful force attacked Huo Jilin and Qingluan.

Huo Jilin hurriedly used the power of Taoism to resist: "Senior, please listen to our explanation!"

The mysterious man was unmoved and continued to attack.

"It seems that we can only fight!" Huo Jilin's eyes were firm.

Qingluan said: "I'll go with you! "

The two fought a thrilling battle with the mysterious man. The mysterious man was powerful, and Huo Jilin and Qingluan gradually fell into trouble.

"This is not a solution." Huo Jilin was anxious.

Qingluan suddenly thought of something: "Huo Jilin, do you remember the runes we found before? Maybe it is related to this mysterious man."

Huo Jilin suddenly realized: "Yes, maybe it is the key to controlling him."

While dodging the attack of the mysterious man, the two observed the runes around them.

"Found it!" Qingluan shouted.

Huo Jilin quickly used the power of Taoism according to the rules of the runes.
