The Zerg Queen, who is assigned to me, wants to kill me!

Chapter 178 No one buried it, and no one cared about it...

Before Qi Min could finish speaking, the tremors above the building started again.

Various small stones of different sizes fell from the surrounding walls, instantly raising a small cloud of choking dust.

"Cough...cough..."

"Cough...cough cough, what's going on? Is this place going to collapse?"

Liu Yan and the female insect standing next to him couldn't help but cough lightly, looking worriedly towards the top of the building.

At this point, cracks had begun to spread outwards from the circular, clustered area above the building.

"Looks like we need to hurry, she'll be here soon."

Qi Min looked up and said, while handing Ling Yi the same scalpel, and then continued working with his head down.

Ling Yi didn't know who this "he" Qi Min was referring to was.

But looking at the current situation and Qi Min's continued bloody actions, he understood that now was not the time to ask questions.

Following Qi Min's instructions, he walked to the coffin next to him that resembled Rupert's and prepared to cut off his clothes.

But when Ling Yi reached out and touched Rupert's body, he was taken aback.

'Hmm? It's warm. Could he be alive? But didn't the lord say...'

Ling Yi frowned and turned to look at Qi Min. Just as he was about to speak, Qi Min seemed to already know and said something indifferently.

"This is just a copy to mislead you. It's not alive. Never mind, I'm done with this anyway. Let me do it so you don't get your hands dirty."

As he spoke, Qi Min stood up, his hands covered in blood, and walked towards Ling Yi.

Ling Yi then noticed that Qi Min was holding a pure black, constantly beating heart.

"this is……"

Ling Yi looked at the heart organ, which had been removed but was still trembling, and felt it was extremely strange.

This black heart, even after being removed, seems to continue functioning healthily like a normal organ.

The heart wasn't the normal, vibrant color, but it was beating as if it were alive.

Even the blood dripping from Qi Min's fingers was a normal bright red, not the black color of his heart.

"This is the key we need. I can't put it in my backpack, so I'm sorry to trouble you to hold it for me for now."

Qi Min flipped his wrist, and instantly a square piece of red cloth appeared in his hand. The four corners of the cloth were embroidered with exquisite patterns of flowers and birds.

Below the four corners, there are round, white beads hanging down, making it look very expensive and of high collectible value.

The next moment, Ling Yi watched as Qi Min nonchalantly wrapped the heart in it, handed it to him, and gestured for him to hold it for him.

Although Ling Yi felt it was a pity that such beautiful fabric was used to wrap the heart, he didn't say anything. He simply took it with one hand and stepped aside to give Qi Min more room to maneuver.

"Pfft, hiss..."

Then, Qi Min continued to hold the scalpel without changing his expression, and with a series of twists and turns of his wrist, he removed Rupert's heart, just like the one from before.

It was black, yet it flowed with bright red blood...

Qi Min tilted his head, gesturing for Ling Yi to open the red cloth, clearly intending to place this heart together with the one from before.

"Boom...boom..."

At this moment, the shaking sound from above the building became more and more intense, and there were faint signs that it was getting closer and closer.

"It seems like something is gradually approaching here, but I can't find any other exit, only the steps we came up from."

Chen Xuan, who had been cautiously circling the area, came over and told Ling Yi.

Chen Xuan had just witnessed Qi Min's actions, and was surprised by the abruptness and bloodshed of the heart-cutting act.

But thinking about this strange world, and the evenly matched battles he had with this male insect, and how he had even managed to defeat him, he wasn't so surprised anymore.

Compared to Chen Xuan's strong adaptability, Liu Yan had seen a lot of dungeons in the last one, so his acceptance level had also increased. Therefore, he just quietly stood aside and waited for Qi Min to finish his next move.

"My lord, shall we prepare to return the way we came?"

After thinking it over, Ling Yi asked Qi Min, who had put his heart down and was washing his fingers.

He was unaware of the situation here and had not yet had time to explore more information.

Instead of blindly searching for a solution, it's better to ask Qi Min, who seems to know something about this place.

"There's no need to go back the way we came; there are other exits here."

Upon hearing Ling Yi's question, Qi Min wiped the water off his hands and answered in a calm tone, his voice unhurried, as if he wasn't worried about the place collapsing.

"Other exits? But I've already searched the surrounding area..."

Just as Chen Xuan was wondering what was going on, she saw Qi Min return to the coffin in the middle.

Suddenly, he reached into the coffin and threw the corpse out. Then he reached into the coffin and pulled hard, revealing the covered ring.

A buzzing vibration began to emanate from the ground of the building.

Then, Chen Xuan saw that the originally uneven wall suddenly cracked open into a dark passage.

"How could this be? I checked everything thoroughly and didn't detect any electricity or devices."

Chen Xuan looked at the passage that had appeared with surprise, her eyes full of doubt and confusion.

Ling Yi was also surprised, but he didn't say anything. He simply took the red package that Qi Min had handed him back.

Qi Min ignored his questions and turned to walk up to Luo Haoyu, who had woken up at some point.

"Awake? So, do you agree with my suggestion?"

Qi Min leaned down slightly to look at him and found that Luo Haoyu was just looking down, so he brought up the old topic again and asked.

Luo Haoyu lowered his head, his expression unreadable, but he nodded slightly as if he had just woken up and was feeling weak, indicating his agreement.

“Okay, let’s find a safer place first, then we’ll ‘gift’ you…”

Qi Min narrowed his eyes upon seeing his completely different appearance from before, but after thinking for a moment, he suppressed his desire to investigate.

After making the decision, he straightened up, gestured to Liu Yan, and then took Ling Yi's hand, who had been following behind him, and walked towards the passage.

Before long, Qi Min led the way, followed by Ling Yi, and then Chen Xuan, and they entered the passage in turn.

As they slowly entered, the walls that had opened the passage gradually closed, leaving no trace on the uneven yet pristine rock face.

Not long after they left the underground building, Qi Min threw a corpse on the ground that looked somewhat like Aurora.

It began to slowly melt, like a candle that had been forced to melt upon contact with a flame, gradually turning into a milky white liquid.

Only a white skeleton remained, lying quietly on the ground, unburied and uncared for...
