The yellow smoke had a strong pungent smell, but fortunately it quickly dissipated in the air.

Ye Fan finally let out a sigh of relief, "It's so dangerous. I didn't expect that a trap was set up here. Fortunately, I evaded it in time. Otherwise, it would have been really dangerous."

It wasn't that Ye Fan was careless, but that in a place like this, few people would set traps.

This is a normal thought for many people, but the designer has set a trap here, which shows how insidious his character is.

"What is this? It smells so strong and pungent?"

Shen Bao frowned, obviously disgusted with the yellow smoke.

"The mixture of realgar and cinnabar will produce gas after a long period of fermentation, which is highly toxic. We just evaded it in time. If we inhale too much, we will die instantly and cannot be treated."

Ye Fan explained in a deep voice.

"It is this smell that makes those beasts afraid to come close. The beasts' sense of smell is much stronger than ours. Therefore, it is difficult for us to smell the smoke under the altar, but they can."

"I see."

Liucheng suddenly realized, "So, the designer created this thing to imitate wild beasts from breaking into this place, and to protect this hall."

Ye Fan nodded.

At this moment, the smoke dissipated, and a stone pillar slowly rose up from the crack.

There is a stone box on the stone pillar, dark in color and with sharp edges and corners.

"What is this?"

Shen Bao stepped forward and wanted to take it off and check it.

But Ye Fan said coldly: "Don't act rashly."

Everything here is full of danger, and your life will be lost if you are not careful. Therefore, you must not touch the things here easily before ensuring that everything is safe.

Being scolded by Ye Fan, Shen Bao retracted his raised hand.

Although he is Shen Tianyin's brother and older than Ye Fan, in many cases, he still obeys Ye Fan's words.

After all, Ye Fan's ability is beyond what he can match.

But Ye Fan took out a long knife and carefully pushed the stone box onto the square platform.

The stone box fell and shattered immediately. In an instant, a steel needle shot out from it and fixed on the far wall.

Seeing this, Shen Bao was shocked and patted his chest.

"It's so dangerous. Fortunately, you stopped it just now. Otherwise, this steel needle might have penetrated my body."

Shen Bao's face was full of fear, and his forehead was even covered with fine cold sweat.

If it weren't for Ye Fan, his life might have been decided here.

"The designer is extremely insidious, so every step of the way is murderous. We must not take it lightly."

Ye Fan warned again, and when he saw Shen Bao nodding heavily, he looked at the broken stone box.

Pushing aside the fragments, a key made of polished stone appeared inside.

Ye Fan carefully built the key and looked at it carefully. It was just an ordinary key, nothing special.

"I don't know what this key is used for yet, but since it is hidden here, it must be useful, so let's put it away for now."

After checking to no avail, Ye Fan said calmly, and then put the key into his pocket.

"There should be nothing else weird about this hall, let's go."

After checking again and seeing nothing, Ye Fan, Shen Bao and Liucheng left the hall.

Little did they know, just after they left, a figure flashed away in the darkness...

After walking out of the main hall and looking at Liucheng, Ye Fan asked in a low voice: "I remember you said that there are several weird places around here. This main hall is just one of them. Where are the other weird places?"

"They are all around here, I will take you there."

Liucheng nodded and then led the way.

Liucheng has already explored the surrounding situation several times, so he is very familiar with the terrain.

Along the way, Liucheng lowered his head and looked around from time to time, as if he was looking for a path based on his memory.

In this regard,

Ye Fan frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.

"There are a lot of trails here. Even though I've walked them many times, it's still easy to get confused."

Liucheng smiled helplessly.

"It's a place where birds don't poop. It's better to find a way out quickly. I don't want to stay for a minute longer."

Shen Bao kept complaining.

Only Ye Fan was paying attention to the situation around him with cold eyes.

The three of them turned more than a dozen turns, and finally a house appeared in front of them.

This house is different from that palace. The palace is magnificent, but this house seems much more ordinary.

There is a white cloth wrapped around the stone lion in front of the door, and the door of the house is open, as if it has been known for a long time that someone is coming.

"What's weird here?"

Looking at Liucheng, Ye Fan asked in a deep voice.

But Liucheng lowered his voice.

"I discovered this house accidentally. After I entered it, I always felt that the surrounding area was cold. It seemed that the temperature inside was much lower than outside. Moreover, there was a strange noise coming from inside. I didn't dare to stay too long and ran out. Already."

Having said this, Liucheng still had a look of horror on his face.

Shen Bao, on the other hand, said with a dark face: "You must be scaring yourself. There is nothing unclean in this world."

He snorted coldly. As a law enforcer, Shen Bao was indeed very courageous, and he never believed in those ghosts and monsters.

Seeing Shen Bao acting like this, Ye Fan smiled slightly and didn't say much. He understood Shen Bao and there were no taboos for people with this kind of personality.

"Let's go in and take a look before we talk."

Ye Fan smiled and walked into the house first.

This is a courtyard with three entrances. When you enter the gate, there are wing rooms on both sides. After passing through the first courtyard, you can enter the bedrooms and guest rooms, the east and west wing rooms, and the last courtyard is a garden. It is very elegantly designed.

The ground was already overgrown with weeds, and the house was in a dilapidated state. Ye Fan vaguely seemed to hear a sound coming from the second courtyard.

Frowning slightly, Ye Fan listened carefully.

At this time, Shen Bao seemed to hear a voice: "It seemed like a woman's voice behind me."

"Go and have a look."

Ye Fan suddenly became interested and quickly walked through the courtyard and came to the second entrance.

Sure enough, the sound came from the east wing.

"With the sound of women singing opera, do people still live here?" Shen Bao asked with a frown.

In front of the east wing, there are weeds that are half as tall as a person. If there are really people living here, why aren't these weeds cleared away?

"It's better to be careful than to be reckless."

After looking at Shen Bao, Ye Fan warned in a deep voice.

Holding the long knife in his hand, Shen Bao nodded heavily: "Don't worry, it's not worth losing your life for such a ghost place. My life is worth more than gold."

With that said, he and Ye Fan walked slowly towards the east wing side by side.

The closer the distance, the clearer the sound. It is indeed the voice of a woman singing opera.

This kind of place and this kind of environment could not help but make the two people's hair stand on end.

Finally arriving in front of the east wing, the two of them glanced at each other. Then, Ye Fan took a deep breath and winked at Shen Bao.

"Go in."
