Chapter 367: Falling Into a Mysterious Land
“Mother.”
Whether it was the memory of Yan Kuan standing in the distance when he was a child and secretly watching Ouyang Jinling with a happy smile on her face, or the disgust on Ouyang Jinling’s face when she looked at him later on…
Yan Kuan remembered the word ‘mother’ in the depths of his memory, but he had never called it out.
Yan Kuan had long been prepared for Ouyang Jinling to remain in a deep sleep. Other than the Black Ganoderma, there was no other medicine that could cure the Suoyin Flower Tears poison.
Yan Kuan had always had this obsession in his heart. He did not have deep feelings for Ouyang Jinling. Besides giving birth to him, Ouyang Jinling had never done anything for him. Perhaps she had also released her maternal love to him when he was young. However, with Ouyang Tian pressing on her step by step, as well as some of her own mental journey and later An Ning, Ouyang Jinling really had no feelings for Yan Kuan at all.
He wanted to find her or find out if she was still alive. As for saving her? There was no need. To Yan Kuan, if Ouyang Jinling was dead, perhaps it would be cleaner.
His footsteps were a little heavy, but no matter how heavy they were, he still had to face the truth that he had to face. He approached step by step, his eyes wide, not wanting to miss a single detail. But after he walked into the crystal coffin… the scene in the coffin stunned him.
No one!
There was no one in the coffin!
What was going on? How could there be no one in the coffin?
Where did the person go?
Or was his guess wrong?
But how? How could it be?
Yan Kuan walked into the crystal coffin and examined it carefully. His entire body was covered in that special clothing, and his eyes did not miss a single detail.
There was hair.
Yan Kuan carefully twirled the hair and put it into his bag. He looked carefully again to see that there was nothing else before he turned around and left. However, he had always felt that this matter was extremely strange in his mind.
When he reached the first floor, Yan Kuan took a casual look. When he had just gone up the stairs, he had not paid attention to the appearance of the first floor at all. When he went down the stairs, he realized that the layout of the first floor was almost exactly the same as the one above. Of course, other than the huge crystal coffin, the crystal coffin could ensure that the poison of the Suoyin Flower Tears would not spread and that the various functions of the body would not cower.
However, on this floor, where the crystal coffin was supposed to be, there was actually a carpet of the same size. The design of the carpet was very strange, similar to a door. Yan Kuan thought about it and decided to walk over to take a closer look.
However, when Yan Kuan’s feet stepped on the carpet, his body suddenly lost its center of gravity. It was as if he had stepped on something empty and fell down.
The cold stone floor and the height difference of a few meters made Yan Kuan shake his arm. At this height, he might be in trouble, but he had been through hundreds of battles. He stood up, rubbed the equipment on his head, and turned on the lights, he could clearly see the current environment.
After calculating the time, Dark 1 should have retreated. They were well-equipped. If he wanted to save his life, Yan Kuan still believed that Dark 1 had the ability.
Therefore, when he saw that he was in a stone chamber, Yan Kuan was shocked.
There were four crystal coffins placed around the stone chamber, and each one seemed to have people in it.
Yan Kuan walked in to check one by one, and the more he looked, the more scared he became. One, two, three, four. Four identical Ouyang Jinlings lay there motionlessly.
Yan Kuan reached out and took out a special piece of equipment. He scanned the air above each of them, trying his best not to touch anything about the crystal coffin.
The result of the scan was that all four of them were corpses.
Not only that, each of the corpses was incomplete. One was missing a hand, one was missing a foot, and the entire abdominal cavity was empty. There was even one that was complete, but Yan Kuan did not know exactly what was missing.
Yan Kuan looked at this strange place. These four coffins were placed in the empty room. There was no pa.s.sage, as if a person had to fall from the top if they wanted to enter.
The mini robot was released to find a way out for Yan Kuan, while he stood at the same spot and thought about everything carefully.
Beep beep beep.
The robot sent out a detection signal. Yan Kuan walked over and saw that there was indeed a circle of cracks on a stone wall.
The gloved hand pushed hard. Creak. There was no dust. The stone door opened easily.
The robot was still scouting ahead. He walked behind and looked at the dark and long pa.s.sage in front of him. His brows furrowed even more tightly.
What kind of d.a.m.ned place was this? Or was this the real Forbidden Area of the Ouyang family?
With all kinds of suspicions in his heart, under the lead of the robot, Yan Kuan stepped into the unknown world.
…
“What? He disappeared again?”
“Miss, Boss will be fine this time. I can guarantee that no one except Ouyang Tian can enter the Forbidden Area. Ouyang Tian is not in the Forbidden Area at all. So, Boss must have found something and couldn’t come out in time.”
“Dark 1, are you sure you didn’t lie to me?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was skeptical. It was the same last time. However, Dark 1 was also at the Ouyang family last time. Now that Dark 1 could come back on his own, Yan Kuan probably wouldn’t be in any danger. He must have found something.
However, she still felt extremely uneasy. The child had already been in her stomach for nearly seven months. If anything happened to Yan Kuan at this time, she would not be able to do anything.
“Can we only wait now?”
“Yes, Boss will definitely come back.”
When Shen Xiaoxiao heard Dark 1’s words, she looked at the injuries on his body and finally said, “If he doesn’t come back in three days, I will personally go to the Ouyang family to look for him.”
19’s heart tightened. Did Miss not even care about herself?
“Don’t worry, I know that you are worried about my child. The Ouyang family’s Forbidden Area. I think that none of you are as familiar with it as I am.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not speak anymore. Of course, no one was as familiar with the Ouyang family’s Forbidden Area as she was. She had wandered in the Forbidden Area for so long and had seen every place clearly. She even knew that there were death warriors in that place.
If she wanted to see what was going on with Yan Kuan, then she had to lead the team personally.
She just hoped that it would not be another day. After all, she was pregnant.
…
Yan Kuan knew that Shen Xiaoxiao would definitely be worried about him. At this moment, it was already past the agreed time. He had been walking in this pa.s.sage the entire time. If he wanted to turn back, he could just crawl out from the place where he had fallen. However, Ouyang Tian would definitely return to check on the commotion that they had caused. It was best not to return at this moment. Perhaps Ouyang Tian was waiting for him.
…
Yan Kuan did not know that Ouyang Tian had already arrived at the bamboo house at this moment. When he saw that Ouyang Jinling in the crystal coffin was still intact and lying there obediently, he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. However, he was a little puzzled. Just who had barged in here? If Yan Kuan were here at this moment, he would definitely be shocked when he saw Ouyang Jinling in the crystal coffin. Wasn’t this person gone just now?
