"Let's open it and see if there's anything inside!" Ruo Xin couldn't help but say.
Li Rui was also unsure if something would happen. After observing the surroundings for a moment, he walked over to the corpse and directly opened the entire book.
The first page was surprisingly blank, leaving Li Rui a bit confused.
As time passed, Li Rui flipped through the book faster and faster, wondering if he had wasted so much time coming here only to find nothing.
This was quite awkward. Li Rui carefully examined it from start to finish, hoping to find something useful, but there was not a single thing of value.
"Could it be that we need some other kind of force to open it?" At that moment, Ruo Xin asked.
Li Rui nodded in a daze and infused a bit of spiritual energy into it, but still, there was no effect.
At the same time, both of them thought about whether they should use fire to burn it or water to soak it. However, this bold idea was not executed quickly.
"Wouldn't that be a bit abrupt? What if it doesn't work? It would be embarrassing if something goes wrong later!"
"As they say, fortune favors the bold! Why don't we give it a try?"
The latter was somewhat opposed to this idea but eventually nodded in agreement, suggesting they could try just a little bit but not fully submerge or burn the book!
Ruo Xin somehow produced a flint and struck it against the ground. The sound of "sparks flying" echoed as a small flame ignited shortly after.
"Be careful! Otherwise..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Ruo Xin brought the flint close to the blank book, and it seemed that a tiny bit of black substance began to appear.
At first, this made Li Rui very happy, but what happened next startled him greatly.
"Help, it's burning me alive! Help, it's burning me alive!" A voice suddenly rang out, startling both of them, causing them to instinctively step back.
"Where did that sound come from?"
"I don't know! Could it be from here..." Li Rui pointed at the Wordless Book on the ground.
A sense of foreboding rose in their hearts; this subtle feeling was quite ominous.
"Was that you making the sound?"
But there was no response to Li Rui's question. Could it be that they had misheard? Surely such a strange thing couldn't happen!
Li Rui swallowed nervously and then took the flint from Ruo Xin's hand, holding it over the Wordless Book to warm it up.
"Help, it's burning me alive!" The voice rang out again, and both were puzzled. It was clear that the sound was coming from the book. Was there someone inside? It seemed to have a hint of Fang Ye Tan's essence.
"Maybe we shouldn't do this. I feel a bit of an ominous premonition creeping up my back!" Ruo Xin explained, sounding slightly panicked.
Li Rui knew that since they had come this far, they couldn't leave empty-handed. Besides, it seemed like they were the only ones here; why was there nothing else around?
Could it be that this voice would just keep saying "Help, it's burning me alive"? If they submerged it in water, would it say "Help, I'm drowning"?
Then another question arose: where would they find water? Taking it outside would be too dangerous. Li Rui shook his head; that idea couldn't hold.
Suddenly, a bold thought struck Li Rui's mind. He stepped back and pulled out a bottle.
Ruo Xin was about to follow him when she saw Li Rui's actions and instinctively covered her eyes, preparing to slap him.
"What are you doing!" This shout seemed to shake Li Rui's eardrum, almost deafening him.
"Didn't I come over here by myself? Why are you bothering me! Besides, you'll have to look at this thing later, hehe!"
However, Ruo Xin still blushed deeply. In less than thirty seconds, the action in her pants was already done, and next she poured the liquid from the container down.
It was truly magical; it really was like the saying "I'm drowning!" Suddenly, Li Rui thought about whether this book might be a spiritual book! It seemed to have self-awareness, but how could it have those two phrases?
"Can you talk?" Li Rui asked instinctively.
But the response was still silence, which felt a bit uncomfortable.
Both were at a loss. Ruo Xin was even more frustrated; she snatched the book from Li Rui's hands and threw it to the ground, then stomped on it!
This time, something unexpected happened—the book in her hand suddenly ran away. Both of them instantly had the same thought: to chase after it.
They didn't know how long they chased, but during that time they found themselves in a somewhat strange place. Following the direction of the book, it seemed they were not on the same path as before; these roads felt a bit unfamiliar. Had they never been here before?
Ruo Xin led the way while Li Rui kept an eye on what was behind them, just in case they fell into a trap.
Before long, they arrived in a room with just a simple table and a chair; it looked incredibly plain. They had no idea what would happen next.
Then, in the next second, the book fell onto the table, and an eerie scene unfolded: the previously burnt marks and wet impressions had completely vanished.
Li Rui couldn't help but wonder whether he should open it again.
"Don't!" Ruo Xin suddenly exclaimed, causing Li Rui to stop in his tracks. He didn't know what she meant by that!
There is always a particularly strange feeling, is there danger?
"Fortune comes from danger!" This time it was Li Rui who thought of that saying.
He immediately opened it, only to find a line of text on the first page that looked plain and unremarkable, simply stating: Master of Shouyang Mountain.
However, when he turned to the second page, two lines of text suddenly appeared on the blank page: After a while, Ruo Xin will trip and then bump into you, causing the book in your hand to fall to the ground.
This scene was truly ridiculous; could such a bizarre thing really happen? Moreover, this book was firmly held in Li Rui's hands.
Li Rui secretly thought that none of this would occur.
Who would have thought that the next moment, Ruo Xin indeed tripped and just happened to bump into Li Rui's left hand, and it seemed that her two fingers had grabbed onto a sensitive part of Li Rui.
Inadvertently, the book fell to the ground. This...
A hint of panic arose in Li Rui's heart. Could this really be happening?
