"Ye Bai, what do you think are the things in that tomb?" Yang Mi couldn't help but ask.

Ye Bai shook his head and said, "I'm not sure either. But judging by the symbols and patterns, the builder of this tomb must have been someone well-versed in Feng Shui and metaphysics. Our presence broke the seal, which triggered a series of dangers."

Meng Ziyi frowned and said, "Then will we be in any danger?"

Ye Bai was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not certain yet. But we must leave here as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps. The three of them immediately became nervous. Ye Bai looked around vigilantly and said, "Everyone, be careful. Something might be following us."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi huddled together, their faces filled with fear. They looked around but saw nothing.

"Could it be that we heard it wrong?" Meng Ziyi said in a low voice.

Ye Bai shook his head and said, "No, my hearing has always been very sharp. There must be something nearby."

Just as he was speaking, there was another burst of hurried footsteps.

Ye Bai's expression turned serious. "Shh—" He raised his index finger to silence the two women.

Then, Ye Bai squatted down and listened attentively.

The strange footsteps were getting closer and closer, as if they were approaching them.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi's hearts were in their throats.

"Who?"

"come out!"

"Don't be sneaky!"

Ye Bai shouted in a low voice, his eyes fixed on the direction where the footsteps came from.

Suddenly, he saw a dark shadow floating from a distance.

Due to the obstructed vision and the distance, he couldn't see what the black shadow was. He held the engineer shovel and prepared for battle.

At this moment, Ye Bai saw the shape of the black shadow clearly.

It turned out to be a female ghost with disheveled hair and a black body.

She was wearing red clothes, with a paper talisman stuck on her cheek, her eyes were sunken, and her face was as pale as snow. She was floating in the air, slowly drifting like a ghost.

"Wuhu——" The female ghost cried miserably, which was creepy.

"Fuck! What the hell?!"

"Damn it! I was scared to death!"

"Ye Bai! Kill this evil ghost!"

"Please, Brother Ye! Kill her now!"

"Mom!"

"It's so scary! So weird!"

"Boss Ye, kill it!"

"..."

"Hmph. A mere trifle!"

Ye Bai sneered, raised the engineer shovel in his hand, and chopped at the female ghost.

The female ghost was split into two and turned into nothingness.

Yang Mi covered her mouth in surprise and looked at Ye Bai in disbelief. Meng Ziyi also looked at Ye Bai in astonishment.

Ye Bai snorted coldly, "How dare a mere vengeful ghost be so presumptuous?"

"Ye Bai, you're so handsome!" Yang Mi said admiringly, her beautiful eyes sparkling. Meng Ziyi's pretty face flushed, and she glanced at Ye Bai shyly.

Ye Bai restrained his breath and said, "Let's go."

"kindness!"

The three continued to move forward.

The passage was extremely narrow, only wide enough for two people to walk side by side. Furthermore, it twisted and turned, making it impossible to tell which way was out. Ye Bai led the two women, struggling to move forward.

Soon after, they heard the familiar footsteps again. This time, they could clearly see the source of the sound coming from the right corner. They quickly changed direction to avoid the footsteps.

When Ye Bai brought the two women to the right corner, he found a pool of blood lying on the ground in front of him, and the blood had already coagulated.

He squatted down, dipped his hand in the blood on the ground, then put it to his nose and sniffed it, and his face suddenly changed.

"The smell of blood?" Ye Bai frowned. This smell definitely didn't belong to a living person, but rather the smell of a corpse.

Ye Bai picked up the engineer shovel next to him and carefully examined the bloodstains on the ground.

Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi also came forward to investigate together.

"The bloodstain seems to be over there. Let's go and take a look!" Ye Bai said.

The three of them followed the bloodstains and groped their way forward cautiously. Soon, they walked out of the dark and damp tomb. They saw a rusty iron door that looked very old.

There are two keyholes on the gate, and it looks like it has been abandoned for a long time.

They reached out and pushed at the iron gate, but it didn't budge.

Yang Mi asked doubtfully, "What should we do? Where are the keys?"

"No key? How do we open it?" Meng Ziyi asked worriedly.

Yang Mi sighed and said depressedly: "Are we going to be trapped in this tomb forever?"

Meng Ziyi looked at Ye Bai and asked, "Ye Bai, can you find the exit?"

Ye Bai frowned as he thought carefully. Although he knew the background of the world, he couldn't remember any description of it in the plot.

At this moment, Yang Mi suddenly said, "I see. There should be a mechanism here. I've seen similar pictures on the computer before. Just insert the key into the keyhole and the mechanism will activate."

"Where is the keyhole?" Meng Ziyi asked anxiously.

"It's on the second button in the upper left corner of the wall." Yang Mi raised her hand and pointed at a wall on the left.

Ye Bai turned his head and saw a raised button on the wall. He picked up a military shovel and tried to pry open the iron door. It turned out to be very heavy. It took Ye Bai a long time to open it. Then he used the military shovel to dig some soil and stuffed it into the depression. He then pried open the large iron lock. Then, he filled the depression and pushed upwards with all his strength.

"Click——"

The big iron gate made a crisp sound and then slowly rose.

The three of them quickly entered the large iron gate. As soon as they entered, Ye Bai felt a piercingly cold wind blowing towards him. At the same time, a rotten and musty smell also hit him in the face.

Ye Bai looked up and found that the light from outside was shining in. It turned out that it was the lights in this underground palace that were shining in.

This is a spacious and bright hall.

The hall was covered in dust, with coffins and broken furniture scattered everywhere.

The things in the hall are very old, giving people a desolate and deserted feeling.

"Where is this?" Yang Mi looked around.

Ye Bai said, "I don't know either. Let's go for a walk and see."

They walked along the hall for more than ten meters and found a stone staircase leading down. The staircase was spiral and winding, and it was unclear where it would lead to.

Ye Bai said, "The structure of this underground palace is very strange. These stone steps extend downward in a spiral. We have to find a way to solve this problem."

Meng Ziyi said: "We can take the cable car."

"It's useless." Ye Bai shook his head. "The cable car's safety system is very poor. Every time I get on the cable car, there is a malfunction. Besides, I doubt the cable car goes directly to the top, so there is no safety issue."
