Xin Li's expression changed in an instant. The more he changed, the more Lin Mengya was sure of her thoughts.
This fellow was indeed ruthless and sinister, and he was also quite scheming.
However, he was too anxious, which was why he revealed these flaws.
"Of course, I won't make you kneel. But I don't think there's any need for us to cooperate. "
After that, Lin Mengya pretended not to care and walked back with the illumination stone.
Moreover, she deliberately did not greet these children, so that Xin Li would not think that he could threaten her with the lives of these children.
After she walked for about ten steps, Xin Li's voice finally came from behind.
"Wait!"
She knew that this guy would not be able to hold back first.
She turned around and looked at him calmly with her eyebrows raised. Now she had the initiative in her hands.
"If I can make you cooperate with me by kneeling, okay, I promise you."
She heard the sound of the knee touching the ground. The children who were busy eating finally reacted at this moment.
That person wasn't their partner.
"Who, who are you?"
Lin Mengya heard a teenager's question, slowly turned around and said with a sneer.
"Just a mad dog. After you've eaten, stay here and don't go anywhere. Do you understand?"
The teenagers did not dare to disobey her words. She vaguely saw those children huddled together like small animals, and secretly sighed in her heart.
Although she did not know why Xin Li wanted to be in the Spirit Bear Tribe, he just plotted against Xiong Lin, so she knew that he was up to no good.
"With you here, they won't be of much use."
In the darkness, Xin Li's indifferent voice came, but Lin Mengya did not believe him.
She walked to Xin Li in a few steps. Sure enough, this person was still kneeling on the ground.
Lin Mengya did not mean to make things difficult for him, but she knew Xin Li's character too well. Once he succeeded, she was afraid that he would kill her.
Since that was the case, why should she be polite?
"Get up. I can consider helping you get the things down there, but it's so dark here. I don't want to be kicked down by you like Xiong Lin."
Xin Li's expression was unfriendly, but he did not act up immediately.
This made Lin Mengya a little curious. Previously, everyone said that Xin Li was the focus of the Xin family's training, so he should at least be highly respected, almost like a prince.
Even if he reluctantly agreed to this kind of humiliation, he would not give her any face.
But when she saw Xin Li, his expression only became more gloomy.
This person was not simple at all.
"There are lights here, but I don't want to scare you guys after I light them up."
Xin Li's tone was a little malicious. Lin Mengya just snorted and narrowed her eyes.
"What's there to be afraid of? Since there's a light, go light it. The few of you, tear a piece of cloth from your clothes and cover your eyes. If I don't say yes, don't take it off. Do you hear me? "
Her words were meant for the youths, but they were also meant for Baisu.
If a person stayed in the dark for a long time and suddenly saw light, their eyes would not be able to bear it.
"You're really careful. Don't worry, other than us, no one else will be able to enter."
Xin Li's words were filled with mockery.
Lin Mengya took a few steps back, hid the light stone, and covered her eyes.
She was not afraid of Xin Li's tricks, because other than her, no one else could get close to that thing.
But she had to be on guard. After all, a lunatic would not reason with her.
She opened her eyes and peeped at Xin Li. Unexpectedly, two thin and small fire snakes suddenly jumped out of the darkness.
Lin Mengya secretly shouted in her heart. She immediately covered her eyes and crawled on the ground.
Damn Xin Li, he actually dared to plot against her!
The expected heat did not come. Lin Mengya only heard a series of "puff, puff" sounds in the air.
She was still lying on the ground, but her fingers loosened a little. She narrowed her eyes and looked around.
There was no fire, but where were the fire snakes?
Eh? There was light!
Although the light was considered very bright, because the space here was too vast, the function of illumination was actually very limited.
But Xin Li still did not come back. She heard footsteps coming from far and near, and there were constantly fire snakes darting in all directions.
Lin Mengya rubbed her sore eyes and gradually adapted to the surrounding light.
The design here was still very reasonable. At least it did not light up all at once, but gradually brightened up.
She put down her hands, stood up, and looked around.
God! What on earth was this place!
"How is it? Is it amazing enough?"
Xin Li's voice came from behind.
Lin Mengya immediately turned around and vigilantly looked at Xin Li, who was walking over slowly.
There was a look of complacency in his eyes, as if he was not surprised by everything here.
As far as the eye could see, there were piles of white bones everywhere.
No wonder she did not trip on the bones later. Due to the passage of time, the skeletons had already turned into dregs. They would shatter at the slightest touch, no longer having the toughness of bones.
This was definitely not the ruins of an ancient city. In an open space that stretched as far as the eye could see, all the bones were placed in the direction behind her.
Lin Mengya came back to her senses and found that Xin Li was also looking behind her.
What was that?
There was a huge stone statue in a round pit. Set off by the piles of white bones, it looked very strange.
But all the lights extended down from the head of the stone statue.
She did not know how long the oil lamps were arranged along the stone wall above her head.
Lin Mengya could not help but walk forward, and found that this stone statue was actually the Witch Empress!
"What on earth is this place?"
She originally thought that these things were made by the Xin Family. But now it seemed that the Xin Family was obviously not that capable.
Xin Li curled his lips and said.
"I don't know. This place has been here since I was born. But these are not important. Do you see the wooden box in the arms of the stone statue? The thing I want is there. "
He licked his lips, and there was an uncontrollable greed in his eyes.
Lin Mengya tried to look him up and down calmly, and then moved her eyes to the middle of the stone statue.
Sure enough, there was a wooden box inlaid in the hands of the stone statue in front of its chest.
But there was something strange about the wooden box. She could not see it clearly because she was too far away.
"I can't carry such a big box. Besides, this thing is so precious. There must be a lock on the box, and I can't open it. "
She shrugged. Obviously, this was a difficult task.
Xin Li was a little dissatisfied, but he could not give up now.
"I can't give you the key in the wooden box yet. And you don't have to rush down, it's not time yet. "
Xin Li crossed his arms, as if he was watching a good show.
Lin Mengya did not continue to ask questions, because she saw those controlled corpse puppets.
Almost all the corpse puppets were standing on the other side of the stone statue.
And there were many of them, at least a thousand.
What was the Xin Family going to do with so many people?
"It's time. If it weren't for me, you would never see such a wonder in your life."
The fanaticism in Xin Li's eyes made Lin Mengya shiver coldly.
The Xin Family was not normal, otherwise they would not have brought so many corpses.
She saw the wooden box move a little. Could it be that there was a living thing in it?
But Xin Li took a step forward, looking very excited.
A few minutes later, she saw a few white vines stretch out of the wooden box, and then climb out along the stone statue.
All the corpse puppets stood there obediently.
The vines stretched with all their strength, and finally wrapped around the first corpse puppet. Then, without hesitation, it pierced into the head of the corpse puppet, and came out from the other side. Then, it was another corpse puppet.
Lin Mengya's eyes widened at the shocking scene.
Impossible! Although she knew that there were plants that could eat people in the depths of the jungle, this rattan was too strange, wasn't it?
But then, the Shen Nung system gave her a message.
Only then did she calm down. But towards the Xin family, she could only use the word 'deranged' to describe them.
"You see? This is a real miracle, the biggest secret of our Xin Family. Now, it's going to be finished! "
Xin Li's eyes flashed with madness.
Lin Mengya knew that the thing in the wooden box was the longevity they were looking for.
"It's not a miracle. It's just a trick played by humans."
Xin Li immediately stared back at her fiercely, obviously dissatisfied with her attitude.
Lin Mengya shrugged and did not continue to provoke him.
Because this thing was indeed special. But strictly speaking, there was a kind of parasite on the white vines.
This thing should be the predecessor of the Gu worm they found in the bodies of the people of the Spirit Bear tribe.
This kind of worm liked to lay parasitic eggs in the brains of the dead, and then was used by the Xin Family.
Once some secrets were revealed, it would not be so scary.
Lin Mengya calmly watched the vines spread wantonly in the pile of corpses. She was more concerned about the thing in the box.
Even the Shen Nung system had raised the alarm to the highest level. She also felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
But she finally understood that the so-called longevity was really a scam.
And Xin Li was just digging his own grave.
"Miss Lin, please."
Xin Li moved aside, and Lin Mengya saw that there was a staircase behind him, extending to the bottom of the pit.
That fellow also completely revealed his ferocious nature. His pair of eyes were like a poisonous snake staring at her, as if she was the prey.
