"Ah...... Click...... Click...... Yes...... Help......" Just as the three of them followed the guard to the depths of the Tomb Valley, suddenly there was an extremely miserable cry in front of them.

Listening to such a miserable scream, even though the three of them didn't see what happened with their own eyes, a very bloody picture appeared in their minds, that is, someone seemed to have broken the bones of their whole body, even if they rushed over to rescue them now, it would be too late.

It stands to reason that the guard said before that it was the last few days of the end of the sacrificial month, and no one should dare to come here, so there should be no one else in this tomb valley except for the three of them and the six guards.

Along the way, the five brothers of the guard opened the way at the front, and the three of them, as well as the guard, kept a distance behind and followed forward.

Because the tomb valley was extremely dark, and the five guards who opened the way were far away from the three of them, Yanyu never saw those five guards again.

I thought I was about to reach the secret passage that the guard said, but I didn't expect something to happen!

It's just that the scream lasted only a few times, and then suddenly it became silent again, which had to make people think of the worst ending.

"Oops! Something must have happened to my brothers who opened the way for us! Why don't you wait where you are? If you come with me, I'm not sure I'll be able to protect you. If I don't come back within a quarter of an hour, go back the way you came and run for your life. Remember, be sure to walk along the glowing stones, otherwise it's easy to get lost. The guard's face changed, and he hurriedly shouted to the three of them, and quickly rushed in the direction where the screams were coming from.

This sudden change also made Yanyu and the three of them a little surprised, so they had to stop, especially when they saw that the guard was determined to save people, completely indifferent to their own lives, and realized that something very bad might have happened.

It's just that they really can't think of this cemetery full of dead people, how can there be anything that hurts people?

Could it be some kind of beast? Or maybe it's a monster you've never seen before?

"Empress Dowager, what should we do now?" After seeing the guard leave in a hurry as if he were facing a great enemy, Phantom Lotus came to Yanyu's side and whispered instructions.

"Yes, the Empress Dowager, there seems to be a very terrifying monster in front of us, plus we are not familiar with this place, and it is so dim, I am afraid that if we rush over, not only will we not be able to save them, but if we get lost, it will be very dangerous! Why don't you go back to General Lin and bring more Royal Forest Army to save them? Meng Ling looked around with some concern and suggested safely.

"In this case, you two go back to General Lin the same way you came, and go over to see what happened. Because the mourning family was worried that it would be too late to save them. Yanyu said without hesitation.

"This ...... Not quite right? How can we let you go alone? It's also too dangerous. If something happens to you, Meng Ling and I will become sinners for the ages. Don't forget, you're the newly resurrected Empress Dowager? Phantom Lotus said in resolute disagreement.

"Phantom Lotus is right, how can you put yourself in danger? That's unacceptable. Please think twice. If you must go, then we have to accompany you there, so you can take care of it? Meng Ling also tried her best to persuade her.

"Don't worry, the skills of the mourning family, you two don't know. The two of you went, and the mourning family was distracted to take care of you, but they shrank back. It's decided, you two hurry up and go to General Lin! Yanyu said in an unquestioning tone.

"Don't use it to find the last general, the last general will meet the goddess and the queen mother." Just as Yanyu ordered Phantom Lian and Meng Ling to leave quickly, General Lin suddenly appeared and said to Yanyu respectfully.

"Oh? General Lin? Get up, how did you get here? How could you know that the mourning family paid a private visit and came to this tomb valley? When Yanyu saw General Lin suddenly appear, he also asked in an extremely surprised tone. casually took off the veil, revealing that she was originally wearing a goddess mask.

"Qi Yu Empress Dowager, Shu Mo will make the decision in private and secretly send someone to protect the Empress Dowager, so naturally he is fully aware of the Empress Dowager's whereabouts. The purpose of the last general to do this is to ensure the safety of the Empress Dowager, after all, before coming, the last general made a military order in front of His Majesty, swearing to protect the safety of the Empress Dowager. I also ask the Empress Dowager to forgive her sins. General Lin replied apologetically.

"Oh, it doesn't matter, you also did it for the good of the mourning family, and the mourning family will not blame you. That's fine, then go with the mourning family to rescue a few of the original Yuqin Village guards, right? If they go late, I'm afraid they will be more than lucky. By the way, how many Guards did you bring with you this time? Yanyu said in a tone that didn't mind.

"Empress Dowager Xie. The last general was willing to accompany the Empress Dowager to save people, but when the last general learned that the Empress Dowager had come to the Tomb Valley, he hurried to come as soon as possible, so that it would take some time for the other Imperial Forest troops to arrive. General Lin replied truthfully.

"Then General Lin will go with the mourning family to save people first, and the two of you will wait for the Royal Forest Army here, and then come with them." Yanyu said decisively, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and chased in the direction that the guard left before.

And General Lin did not hesitate to chase after him.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Although Phantom Lian and Meng Ling were very worried, they had no choice but to agree.

Then they stared anxiously at the way they had come, eagerly waiting for the Royal Guards to arrive so that they could follow them to protect the Empress Dowager.

Therefore, the two of them didn't notice that behind Yanyu and General Lin, who had run far away and could barely see their backs, there was a phantom woman chasing after them.

This phantom woman is naturally Xiangling, who has been hiding in the shadows, and although she is protected by General Lin at the moment, she still chases after her with anxiety.

……

Just when Phantom Lian and Meng Ling were waiting for the Royal Forest Army to arrive, they also chatted quietly.

"Sister Phantom Lotus, fortunately, when we talked to the princess just now, we always called the empress dowager and did not change to call her princess, otherwise if General Lin heard it just now, it would have been revealed that the princess was pretending to be the goddess empress dowager. It seems that you will have to be more careful in the future, right? Meng Ling whispered in Phantom Lotus' ear with a happy face.

"Yes, try not to call the princess by her name in the future, lest the wall have ears. By the way, Meng Ling, don't you think this tomb valley is a little weird? It's sunny outside, but it's dark all year round, and I don't know why, I'm always restless, and I always feel that something bad is about to happen. Phantom Lotus also lowered her voice and said.

"So you feel that way, too? I had been feeling uneasy since I even entered the Valley of the Tombs, and now that feeling is getting more and more obvious! Hey, why haven't you come yet! I'm dying! Meng Ling said in an empathetic tone.

"And I just felt like there's someone right next to us! It seems to be a woman, because I smell a very familiar smell of women, as if I have smelled it somewhere, but unfortunately no matter how hard I try, I just can't remember it, I just feel in the corner of my eye. There's always a phantom following us! Phantom Lotus said with an incredulous expression.

"Huh? No way? If that's what you say, shouldn't we be more careful in the future? It's a pity that if we don't become golden-crowned black-tailed frogs, we won't have the ability to protect the princess at all! It seems that the two of us must find a way to find a cultivation cheat book and start cultivating the mental method that suits the two of us, so that one day in the future, we will be able to help the princess in the true sense. Meng Ling said a little unwillingly.

"Since you have this idea, then I'll tell you something, don't you mention it to anyone else? Even the princess should not say it for the time being, and it will not be too late to tell the princess when I have verified it clearly. That is, when I was cleaning the study of the East Palace of His Royal Highness the Prince, I once saw a secret book, which mentioned that there was an underground scripture pavilion in the palace, which was said to have all kinds of foreign secret books for cultivating immortals. It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly returned to the palace at that time, and I had to put it back in my place. Unexpectedly, when I wanted to continue to look at the secret books of the Ministry while His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was absent the next day, I couldn't find it again. So I plan to go back to the palace this time, take advantage of His Royal Highness the Prince's travel for a year, and then sneak into His Royal Highness the Prince's East Palace to look for it. If she could really find the exact location of the underground scripture pavilion, I think the princess would be interested. Phantom Lian looked around, put her mouth to Meng Ling's ear, and said in an extremely slight voice.

"That's great! When the time comes, I'll accompany you to the East Palace to find it, right? The two of us turned into golden-crowned black-tailed frogs and dived into the East Palace from the water, which must have been unaware. When the time comes, it will only be a matter of time before the cheats are found. Meng Ling said in surprise.

"Shhhh Someone's coming over there! Just as Meng Ling whispered to Phantom Lotus with a look of surprise on her face, Phantom Lotus suddenly pointed in a direction and motioned for her to stop talking.

Meng Ling hurriedly closed her mouth and looked in the direction that Phantom Lotus said.

I saw that in the haze, there were indeed many figures rushing over, obviously it should be those soldiers of the Royal Forest Army.

"Here it is! We're here too! When she saw the armor of the Imperial Forest Army soldiers on the other party's body, Phantom Lotus took off her veil, waved her hand, and shouted loudly.

Then, those figures also quickened their pace and rushed towards the location of Phantom Lian and Meng Ling.

When these people finally came to Phantom Lotus and Meng Ling, it was indeed the soldiers of the Royal Forest Army, a man who seemed to be the captain briefly said a few words to Phantom Lotus, and under the leadership of Phantom Lotus, a group of dozens of people quickly rushed to the direction where Yanyu and they had left before......
