And placed it at the vent.

The fire jumped in the dim and humid air.

Smoke gradually appeared.

"Back off!"

Huo Jilin ordered.

The three retreated to a safe position to watch.

Not long after.

The smoke spread along the vent.

The group of rats that had been attacking greedily began to fall into chaos because of the smoke.

Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness for you, Master Huo."

However, Huo Jilin did not relax at all.

"Don't relax yet."

"Didn't you see that these old rats didn't leave? This can only delay for a while."

Huo Jilin frowned.

These rats are not ordinary underground creatures.

They seem to be driven by some kind of force.

Becoming extremely violent and tenacious.

Under the cover of thick smoke.

He quickly looked around.

Then his eyes fixed on his arm.

"Kaixuan, you and Jiang Wen should retreat over there first."

Huo Jilin's tone was calm and firm.

Wang Kaixuan hesitated for a moment.

But he still acted according to Huo Jilin's instructions.

He knew that Master Huo never made decisions easily.

Every choice was carefully considered.

Huo Jilin took out the knife he carried with him.

It reflected a cold light in the dim light of the torch.

He did not hesitate at all.

He steadily cut the skin on his arm.

Blood flowed out along the blade.

It looked particularly bright red in the dark.

"Master Huo!"

Wang Kaixuan exclaimed.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop shouting!"

Huo Jilin responded in a low voice.

He quickly dripped the dripping blood on the torch.

The moment the blood came into contact with the flame.

A strange chemical reaction occurred.

A special smell and even thicker smoke filled the air.

The rats immediately felt the change.

They began to twist their bodies in panic.

As if they were in great discomfort.

After a while.

The rats that had been rushing in like a flood began to scatter.

They squeezed and pushed each other.

They hurriedly fled from this area that made them feel scared and uncomfortable.

"Let's go!"

Huo Jilin called Wang Kaixuan.

And quickly bandaged his bleeding wound.

"We have to find a safe place now."

The two took Jiang Wen, who was inconvenient to move.

They quickly evacuated to a relatively safe and brighter area in the tomb.

And looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no other dangers approaching.

Wang Kaixuan panted and asked: "Master Huo... How do you know this will work?"

Huo Jilin was silent for a moment.

"I remember my grandfather mentioned something about ancient forbidden techniques and beast behavior... I just didn't expect it to be really useful."

When the three stood in a relatively safe place in the tomb to rest for a while.

At the same time, a thought came to their mind: these rats may have become extremely ferocious after eating human flesh.

This discovery made them more worried and vigilant about the danger hidden deep in the ancient tomb.

Wang Kaixuan looked at Huo Jilin, whose bleeding had stopped and whose expression was still calm.

"Master Huo... are you okay?"

"It won't hinder our movement."

Huo Jilin answered him.

Huo Jilin's wound began to sting.

He frowned.

He knew that this might be because the air in the tomb was poisonous.

Once this poison came into contact with the wound.

It would enter the body through the blood.

The toxins in the tomb are often fatal.

If you are not careful, your life may be in danger.

"Master Huo, how is your hand?"

Wang Kaixuan noticed the strangeness on Huo Jilin's face.

"The air may be poisonous."

Huo Jilin whispered.

He tried to suppress the pain.

"We have to find an antidote."

Jiang Wen looked at the two nervously.

"So what should we do now?"

"Let's find a safe place first."

Huo Jilin looked around while speaking.

They must find a safe place to treat his wounds as soon as possible.

Just then.

Wang Kaixuan noticed an inconspicuous cave entrance.

"Master Huo, look there!"

He pointed to a hidden corner.

The three approached the cave entrance cautiously.

Huo Jilin used a torch to probe into the cave.

It was pitch black inside.

But the sound of wind and water drops could be heard faintly.

"Here..."

Huo Jilin pondered for a moment.

"It should be the passage where rats appear."

Wang Kaixuan asked softly: "Should we go in?"

"Not yet."

Huo Jilin shook his head.

"It's too dangerous here. What we need is a wider place."

Jiang Wen nodded.

"I remember there was a stone chamber with a larger space on the way back."

"Okay, let's go there"Heal the wound first and then go there." Huo Jilin said decisively. The three slowly moved to the stone chamber they had passed before. The interior of the tomb was intricately arranged like a maze. It looked even more deep and strange under the dim light. They walked carefully. They were afraid of disturbing something that should not be disturbed. After arriving at the location, Wang Kaixuan immediately helped Huo Jilin sit down. He took out the spare medicine from his backpack. "Mr. Huo, please be patient. "

Huo Jilin didn't say much.

He just nodded gently to show his understanding.

Wang Kaixuan took out the disinfectant and gauze and began to clean the wound.

Although his technique was a bit clumsy.

But he kept an eye on Huo Jilin's condition.

He was afraid that he would hurt him accidentally.

Jiang Wen stood aside to provide light.

And he looked around vigilantly just in case.

"I didn't expect to encounter such a situation..."

Jiang Wen muttered to himself.

After cleaning.

Wang Kaixuan took out a small and exquisite wooden box from his backpack.

"This is the herbal ointment I got from an old Chinese doctor."

After saying that, he carefully applied it on Huo Jilin's wound.

The herbal ointment brought a cool feeling when it touched the wound.

The original burning pain gradually subsided.

"Thank you."

Huo Jilin gave Wang Kaixuan an affirmative look.

Wang Kaixuan smiled.

"No way! We are all family. "

Although Huo Jilin's wound was treated initially.

But he knew it was only a stopgap measure.

The danger deep in the tomb was still like the sword of Damocles hanging over his head.

It could fall at any time.

He stood up.

He scanned every corner of the stone chamber.

"Now let's go to that rat hole and take a look."

Huo Jilin's voice was low and powerful.

Wang Kaixuan nodded.

He was used to following Mr. Huo's footsteps.

The two walked side by side.

Jiang Wen followed closely behind.

Their steady footsteps echoed in the stone chamber.

Just then.

Wang Kaixuan suddenly stopped.

The discovery in front of him made him hold his breath involuntarily.

"Mr. Huo, look! "

He bent down and picked up an item and handed it to Huo Jilin.

It was an extremely delicate sachet.

It glowed faintly.

The sachet was embroidered with complex patterns.

Huo Jilin took the sachet.

Observed it repeatedly in his hand.

"This craftsmanship..."

Huo Jilin's eyes flashed with recognition.

"It should be brought by someone outside."

Jiang Wen's eyes condensed: "Let me see."

He stretched out his hand to Huo Jilin.

Jiang Wen took the sachet in his hand.

He turned it over and over for a long time.

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing is mine."
