Chapter 189 (1/2)

As Ian exited the house, he inspected his surroundings. It was peaceful as always. Only then did he start to walk to his destination. Feng Yixuan and Qi Aoshuang waited until he was a distance away before following.

Ian continued all the way to the village. The simple sandy beach had no spaces to hide, and every few minutes or so, Ian would stop and turn around. Feng Yixuan and Qi Aoshuang had no choice but to stop following him.

“I will follow him. I have a cloak of invisibility.” Qi Aoshuang brought out a cape from her interspatial ring. Before Feng Yixuan could respond, she put it on and disappeared before his eyes. This was the invisibility cloak that Cliff had gifted her.

“Don’t worry, the moment I find the location, I will hide, then lead you guys there with one of my magic puppets.” Qi Aoshuang handed Feng Yixuan a small mouse puppet.

Feng Yixuan hesitated for a moment, but in the end, accepted it. “Then be careful. I will return with everyone else. The moment you discover the location, do not act alone under any circumstances. Wait until we come.” Feng Yixuan continued to strongly warn her. Finally, after Qi Aoshuang promised to not act alone, Feng Yixuan left with the magic puppet.

Qi Aoshuang quietly followed with the cloak on.

Ian was very vigilant. He would turn around very often to check that no one was following him before he continued forward.

At the end of the long stretch of beach were craggy rocks. Ian increased his pace. Qi Aoshuang silently followed with the large rocks as her cover as she watched him.

He arrived before a large stone and struck it three times with a certain rhythm. Gradually, the stone began to move, revealing a large passageway.

A person peaked out. When he saw it was Ian, he relaxed.

“Boss, you’ve arrived.” He withdrew his head.

“Mm, how is it? Did anything happen today?” Ian walked in, not forgetting to look back one final time. Certain that no one had followed him, he seemed to pull some kind of lever. The large stone once again moved slowly back into place.

Qi Aoshuang thought for a moment, then spiritually linked to the magic puppet she had given Feng Yixuan. Feng Yixuan had been grasping the puppet anxiously. At this time, the puppet freed itself and dropped to the ground. It started to crawl away.

“Let’s go. Aoshuang has discovered the location.” Feng Yixuan motioned to everyone else, following the puppet closely.

Following the puppet, they finally found Claire.

“Aoshuang,” Feng Yixuan greeted in a low voice.

“The entrance is behind that giant rock over there.” Qi Aoshuang pointed at it.

“I’ll move away that rock.” Xi Shaoqi was about to cast magic.

“No, we still don’t know the circumstances within. Don’t be too eager.” Qi Aoshuang walked up to the large rock and also struck it three times like Ian.

The stone slowly moved away to reveal the face of the same person as before. His initially suspicious expression gave way to shock as he saw the unfamiliar people. He reached out towards something near him.

However, Qi Aoshuang moved faster than him. Before he could touch it, a red bead of blood appeared on his neck. He slid silently to the ground.

The party entered the deep passageway. It was lit with torches on each side. Wind blew from the other end, making the torch fires gently sway. It was strangely eerie.

“Blood.” Leng Lingyun frowned. The gentle sea breeze entering the passageway carried the faint scent of blood!
