Ling Yun and his party followed the footsteps of Zhao Zhengxun and others, and finally arrived outside the ancestral hall. Ren Yao stepped forward quickly, picked up the iron lock that fell on the ground, and said to the people behind him: "They are inside."

"Wait a minute, don't go in yet. There's a smell of blood inside, and it's still very fresh. It seems to have just been left."

At this time, Erika, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"It's true or false, why can't I smell it?"

Lin Yuanqi sniffed everywhere, including him, Shen Tinglan and others did not notice anything strange.

Erika told everyone that she had been in an accident when she was a child, and her eyes were burned by strong light, and she has been blind since then.

Although she lost her eyesight, her sense of smell became extremely keen. When she grew up, relying on her talent, she became a well-known tea master in the Nara area.

Erika said that although she couldn't see it, she could easily tell the quality of the tea just by using her nose.

"Even when I led everyone to find Mr. Yun before, it was because I smelled the blood on his body when he was fleeing. In fact, I didn't see him at all."

Erika said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you before. I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it directly."

"Good guy, your nose is comparable to that of a police dog." Zhao Sicheng was amazed and couldn't help blurting out: "It seems that Ling Yun is quite discerning. Keeping Erika behind does help a lot."

Erika looked serious and turned to look at everyone: "Now is not the time to talk about this. The smell of blood always stays in the ancestral hall, which means that the group of people never came out after entering. But now it is silent inside, if they are not secretly If there are ambushes everywhere, it means something unexpected has happened. What is certain is that District 5 has not left the ancestral hall."

Although his motives were impure, Erika was indeed on the same side as his group. Knowing that the other party was not lying, Ling Yun immediately asked Zhao Sicheng: "Fat man, did you sense anything?"

"No..." Zhao Sicheng said firmly: "I didn't notice any evil atmosphere in the ancestral hall. It doesn't seem like there is a ghost."

"In this way, to be on the safe side, we will divide into two groups and enter the ancestral hall one by one." Shen Tinglan thought for a moment and made a decision. Looking at Lin Yuanqi, he said: "You, Zhao Sicheng, Erika, and Tang Yao will wait outside first. , let’s go in and check, if there’s nothing abnormal, we’ll be out in five minutes.”

"I want to go in too." Tang Yao rarely refuted Shen Tinglan's decision, her attitude was very firm: "I have the ability to protect myself and will not drag you back. Maybe you will need me."

"That's okay." Shen Tinglan knew that Tang Yao didn't like Erika, so he didn't force her to do anything, so he decisively agreed to her request.

"You guys, be careful. If anything goes wrong, use the teleportation charm to escape immediately. Don't worry about us. I am quite experienced in fleeing." Zhao Sicheng said to Shen Tinglan and his party.

After watching them enter the ancestral hall, Lin Yuanqi looked around and found that as a gust of wind blew by, there was a rustling movement behind the bamboo forest that made a rustling sound.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Sicheng saw the other party walking quickly towards the bamboo forest behind the ancestral hall, and immediately followed him.

Lin Yuanqi pushed aside a few bamboos on the outside and muttered: "It's weird. I just seemed to hear some strange noises here..."

Erika walked out from behind him, looked around curiously, and then said: "It must be some kind of animal. If it was followed by villagers, we would have discovered it long ago. Of course, it won't be those people in the fifth district.

, I didn’t smell their scent.”

"That's right. I guess I heard it wrong." Lin Yuanqi bent down and examined it carefully, and found that the nearby weeds seemed to have been pressed by something, leaving a strange mark.

Erika twirled the leaves with her hands, brought it to the tip of her nose and smelled it carefully, seeming to be thinking about something: "It's strange, I seem to have smelled this smell somewhere before."

"Is it the smell of Zhao Zhengxun's group?" Zhao Sicheng asked.

Erika shook her head and muttered to herself: "No, where is it..."

At the same time, inside the ancestral hall.

After passing through the gate of the inner temple, Ling Yun and Shen Tinglan walked into the courtyard one after another. Like Zhao Zhengxun and others, they spotted the black coffin parked in the open space at the first sight.

After entering the ancestral hall, everyone discovered that there were many mud footprints left on the ground. The footprints extended inward to all around the coffin. It could be seen that the previous group of people who came in had walked around the ancestral hall several times, but there was no trace of them.

Exceptionally, there were no outward footprints on the ground.

Out of caution, the five people did not approach the coffin immediately, but quickly observed the surrounding scene.

It was different from what I imagined. The ancestral hall in front of me was clean, with almost no traces of fighting.

But even so, Shen Tinglan still keenly noticed that the edge of the dark coffin in front seemed to be stained with some viscous liquid.

The area of ​​Li's ancestral hall is not large, and it can be seen through almost at a glance. There is no place to hide people.

Recalling what Erika said before, Shen Tinglan whispered: "There is something wrong with the coffin in front. I'll go over and take a look. Don't take it lightly."

"I can teleport, so I'll do it."

Ling Yun stopped him and said cautiously: "Brother Shen, please stand where you are and prepare the teleportation talisman."

"Okay, pay attention to safety." Shen Tinglan patted his shoulder.

Ling Yun hid the talisman in his sleeve, touched the psychic gun at his waist, and then walked lightly towards the location of the coffin.

After getting closer, he discovered that the coffin had been forcibly opened.

Not only that, there was a large amount of blood stained near the coffin body; the blood slowly flowed down the coffin. Judging from the blood stains on the ground, just as Erika said, it was left not long ago.

From this point of view, something happened in District 5. There was no place to ambush and hide around, and Erika also said that they had not left the ancestral hall.

Then one can imagine the fate of District 5...all members were wiped out.

Ling Yun made a rough estimate, and found that from the time they encountered the crisis to the time when his group arrived, it only took about ten minutes.

He knew very well that the strength of District 5 could annihilate such a powerful team in just ten minutes. It was conceivable that there must be something extremely dangerous hidden in this ancestral hall.

Could it be that...the S-level curse that Lin Yuanqi mentioned is inside this coffin?!

Although he subconsciously wanted to escape, after seeing Ren Yao's figure not far away, Ling Yun decided to take the risk: if there was really danger, he would immediately activate his skills and leave without hesitation.

Thinking of this, Ling Yun took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and opened the coffin in front of him.

Click——click——click——

The friction of the coffin lid made a sound behind the heavy door. Not only Ling Yun, but also Shen Tinglan and others in the distance also had their hearts in their throats.

A flash of dazzling red instantly broke into Ling Yun's sight. Recalling the terrifying appearance of the water ghost last night, Ling Yun couldn't help but shiver and was mentally prepared for what was to come.

Unexpectedly, when the coffin was completely pushed away by him, what appeared in Ling Yun's sight was a beautiful female corpse.

The female corpse is crowned with a phoenix and her hands are folded in front of her chest. There is a strange fragrance exuding from her body. This smell mainly comes from the red flowers scattered around her.
