Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

After a moment, no trace of any evil spirits could be seen in the Dingzhen lens. Zhang Shi led everyone towards the cemetery.

"So this evil spirit is so weak, it can't even withstand an axe. It's even worse than those beasts."

"I'm telling you, the axe I just struck..."

Zhao Feng proudly showed off his achievements, and the fear he had just felt disappeared completely.

Ge Dalong finally relaxed and smiled.

“People are always afraid of the unknown, but only after they actually encounter and defeat it do they realize it’s just that simple.”

Wu Qing followed the team, staring at the system panel, apparently studying something. Zhang Shi stopped and patted her shoulder.

"What are you looking at?"

Wu Qing looked up with a puzzled expression.

"Something's wrong with the experience points. We killed at least dozens of monsters this time, but the experience bar only increased by a little over half a bar. I checked the experience points for each monster, and they're only 15, even lower than the last dungeon."

Zhang Shi also noticed something was amiss after hearing Wu Qing's words. He had already reached level 7, with a whopping 3000 experience points, so it was understandable that his experience points hadn't changed much. However, the others were still level 6. After killing so many monsters, they should have leveled up.

"This dungeon is rare, why is the experience value so low?"

Ge Dalong heard the conversation between the two, and used his mysterious identification method to check the copy information, muttering to himself as he checked.

"The experience points gained from monsters in the Village of Doubt decrease as the number of team members increases. For a solo challenge, killing ordinary monsters will earn you 50 experience points. Similarly, the number will be 40, 30, 20, 15..."

Zhao Feng interrupted.

"There are only four of us, so we should get at least 20 experience points. Why is it that killing a monster only gives 15 experience points? Is there a bug in the system that puts us in the same tier as a five-person team?"

Zhang Shi suddenly remembered the scene he saw in the well. His face became solemn and he carefully looked around, but found nothing unusual.

Seeing Zhang Shi's expression, Zhao Feng also reacted and angrily swung the giant flint axe towards the people around him.

"Fuck you, stop playing tricks on me. If you have the guts, come out and fight me. I'll see if I can do it or not, and you'll be done for."

Zhang Shi realized that he was entangled by that strange existence and had no way to fight back.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. For now, let's ignore it. The mission is important."

The mysterious fifth person could not be seen or touched, and everyone could do nothing about him. They had to stay alert at all times and focus on other important matters first.

The four of them returned to the cemetery, and what caught their eyes were still the dug-up coffins.

"There are so many empty coffins. Where did all the bodies go? They haven't transformed into zombies, have they?"

After hearing Zhao Feng's muttering, Zhang Shi recalled the information he got from the first identification of the black tiger and had some guesses in his mind.

The four of them took action and searched everywhere in the cemetery. After a long time, they still found nothing. There was no trace of the so-called secret room at all.

Zhang Shi squatted on the ground, wiping the sweat off his face while looking at the tombstone in front of him.

This tomb had been dug up without exception. The tombstone was severely weathered, with pits and some damage on the surface, but the words engraved on it could still be vaguely seen:

Tomb of Huo Youming

Zhang Shi noticed that the owners of all the tombs in this cemetery had the surname Huo, so he guessed that the people in this village should mainly have the surname Huo.

Seeing Zhang Shi squatting there, everyone gathered together and planned to take a break for a while.

Wu Qing took out a tablecloth and spread it on the ground, then took out some food and distributed it to everyone, which reminded Zhang Shi of the picnic during the spring outing.

Although it was a bit eerie to have a picnic in a cemetery, everyone was used to it. Besides, it was already noon, so they didn't care about it and just sat cross-legged on the ground to eat and drink.

"Hey, what an unlucky name! Huo Youming, which sounds like the underworld. I really don't know what this guy's parents were thinking."

Zhao Feng was a chatterbox, and when he saw the tombstone in front of him, he made a casual joke.

Zhang Shi's movements suddenly froze, and he even forgot to chew the panel in his mouth. He turned to look at Ge Dalong.

Ge Dalong also thought of the key to the matter and read it out word by word.

"Deep in the Netherworld!"

Zhang Shi threw away the bread and stood up.

"This is it."

After walking around the tombstone twice, Zhang Shi still didn't find anything wrong. He and Ge Dalong conducted a carpet-style inspection of the area countless times, but still found nothing.

"Deep in the underworld, they wouldn't ask us to dig a grave, but this person's tomb has already been dug up."

Zhao Feng just said it casually, but Zhang Shi thought it made a lot of sense. He took out a shovel from his backpack and was about to start digging.

Wu Qing hurriedly stopped him.

"This isn't good. This is someone's resting place, and this place is so spooky. If you keep digging up the grave, it might cause something bad to happen."

Zhao Feng also took out a shovel and started digging a hole near the coffin.

"A lice is not afraid of bites if there are too many. We are already entangled with one dirty thing, so why should we care about another one? Besides, I am eager for it to show up so that it can have a taste of my axe."

Seeing that Zhao Feng had already started, the others no longer hesitated and joined in digging the pit.

The four of them were quite capable and worked very efficiently. Furthermore, the soil in the cemetery was relatively soft. Before long, they had dug a large pit five or six meters deep nearby.

"Boom!"

Zhang Shi's shovel trembled, sensing he had struck something hard. Wu Qing quickly took out a small shovel and began carefully digging in Zhang Shi's direction. After a few diggings, the object beneath came to light: a stone object richly carved with patterns.

Zhang Shi identified it immediately, but Ding Zhen could only show a bright outline and did not get any detailed information about the item.

Several people continued to dig carefully, and after a while, the true appearance of the thing underneath was finally revealed.

"It's a coffin."

"No, it's a coffin!"

Ge Dalong said in a deep voice, with a hint of surprise in his tone. Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, he explained.

"To put it simply, a coffin is a large outer coffin placed outside the coffin. Ordinary people don't use it for funerals. Judging from the patterns on it, the person buried here must have some important background."

Zhang Shi calmed himself down and for a moment he didn't know whether he should continue digging.

Digging up another tomb beneath someone else's was inherently bizarre. Judging from the coffin's appearance, the burial's origins were likely unusual. If anything went wrong, it could cause significant trouble for the group.

"The shadows are shrouded in the depths of the netherworld. Doesn't the couplet already tell us what's inside? At best, it's just some evil spirits. What are you afraid of? Come lend a hand and start digging."

Zhao Feng remained fearless as he continued digging around the coffin, trying to expand the space around it to make it easier for everyone to move around.
