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

After spending a lot of time, Zhang Shi still didn't find any clues about the so-called secret room.

Now that he had finally dug up some unusual things, Zhang Shi made up his mind and started digging without any scruples.

A moment later, the entire coffin appeared before everyone.

The sarcophagus is snow-blue in color and is large enough to accommodate two people. It is carved with patterns similar to hieroglyphs. Zhang Shi guessed that this should be a type of writing similar to oracle bone inscriptions.

Zhao Feng took a look at the coffin and began to push the lid open.

Zhao Feng's strength was already astonishing, but he still had a hard time pushing the coffin lid. Zhang Shi saw this and stepped forward to help.

With the combined efforts of the two, the coffin lid was slowly moved away, making a friction sound, and a smell of decay came from inside the coffin.

The four of them climbed onto the coffin and peered inside, only to discover that there were no layers of coffins as they had imagined.

There was actually a secret passage inside the coffin, leading directly underground. It was dark and deep, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

"Come on, it's another basement. What do you say? Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Zhao Feng looked nonchalant, as if he was immune to the weirdness of this dungeon.

"The hidden mission is to find a secret room. I think this place meets the requirements."

Zhang Shi and the others looked at each other and finally decided to go down and check it out.

Worried that something unexpected might happen again, before leaving, Ge Dalong used his magic wand to cast a magic barrier at the entrance of the sarcophagus.

"Although the defense is not very good, if there is any unusual movement, I will be notified immediately."

Zhao Feng still led the way, and Zhang Shi followed closely behind with an oil lamp in hand.

The dim light lengthened the figures of the four people, and the sound of their footsteps echoed on the stone steps.

People always feel fear when they are in dark and enclosed places. Ge Dalong was worried that the mysterious fifth person would show up and cause trouble, so he walked at the back, looking back from time to time, fearing that something might happen.

As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you. The four of them walked down for about two minutes.

There was a loud noise behind and above my head, followed by a sharp friction sound.

Ge Dalong said to everyone with a serious expression.

"The protective nodule is broken."

Zhang Shi could guess what the noise above was, and his expression remained calm.

“This forces us to move forward.”

The four of them didn't say anything extra, but continued to explore more cautiously. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the stone steps that led straight down finally disappeared.

The end appeared, and the front suddenly became clear, revealing a huge underground space before them.

This space is tall and spacious, like a forgotten underground palace. The surrounding walls are inlaid with faintly glowing gems, which have continued to bring a strange and mysterious light to this dark place after countless years.

In the center, a massive altar, cast from an unknown metal, stood, intricately carved with patterns that echoed the hieroglyphics on the sarcophagus, seemingly imbued with some ancient and powerful power. Scattered around the altar were several seemingly ancient relics, some covered in thick dust, others gleaming with a strange light, inviting the imagination.

Zhao Feng was overjoyed when he saw the treasure. He ran to the altar and began to check the relics scattered on the ground.

"It seems that we have really found the so-called 'secret room'." Zhang Shi looked around, his eyes flashing with a mixture of excitement and vigilance.

Wu Qing walked forward and gently touched the edge of the altar, feeling its cold and hard texture. Her brow furrowed, "This altar is somewhat similar to the one in the previous instance."

Ge Dalong took out his wand and carefully inspected the altar to ensure there were no potential dangers. "We must quickly find clues related to the mission, while remaining vigilant. There may be unknown dangers lurking here."

"How is it, have you found anything?"

Zhang Shi turned around to ask Zhao Feng, but found that the place where Zhao Feng had been squatting was empty, and Zhao Feng's fingerprints were still on the dusty iron vessel.

Zhang Shi looked around and found that Zhao Feng had mysteriously disappeared in front of everyone, and he immediately felt something was wrong.

"Zhao Feng is missing."

Zhang Shi sensed something was amiss, his tone tinged with anxiety. He used Ding Zhen to assess his surroundings, but found nothing. Aside from the three of them, there was no one else in the dim underground palace.

"Wasn't he checking the relics just now?" Wu Qing also realized the seriousness of the problem, and her voice trembled slightly.

Ge Dalong realized the danger and immediately raised his wand to cast an energy barrier.

Zhang Shi was extremely anxious. He checked Zhao Feng's status on the team interface and found nothing unusual. However, no matter he chatted privately or tagged him, Zhao Feng didn't respond at all.

"Don't worry, he may have encountered something, but he shouldn't be in danger for the time being." Ge Dalong said in a deep voice with a serious expression.

Zhang Shi forced himself to calm down and analyzed, "The terrain here is complex. We can't just search blindly. We must remain vigilant to prevent ourselves from falling into danger. Everyone should act in groups and not be left alone."

Wu Qing nodded in agreement. Although she was anxious, she knew now was not the time to panic. She suggested, "Zhao Feng disappeared while inspecting these relics. We can check them to see if there are any clues."

The three of them gathered up all the scattered relics and examined them one by one. However, neither the system nor the verification method could identify these objects, and Zhang Shi was unable to determine whether Zhao Feng's disappearance was related to these items.

"Come here quickly! There is a mechanism here!" Ge Dalong called out in a low voice.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shi and Wu Qing immediately rushed to Ge Dalong's side. He pointed at a seemingly ordinary stone slab beside the altar and said, "There are energy fluctuations here, and there seems to be another space underneath."

Zhang Shi used Dingzhen to check and found nothing unusual, so he stretched out his fist and knocked on it. Judging from the sound, it was indeed empty underneath.

The three of them pushed aside the stone slab and discovered a narrow secret passage. From deep within the passage came a faint light and the sound of faint whispers.

"It's Zhao Feng's voice."

Zhang Shi looked suspicious and after hesitating for a moment, he was the first to enter the secret passage.

Wu Qing and Ge Dalong looked at each other, took out their weapons and followed closely. The three of them walked along the secret passage and finally came to a secret room.

Inside the small room, Zhao Feng stood before a glowing treasure chest, his face filled with surprise. But when he saw Zhang Shi and the others enter, he immediately gave an apologetic smile: "Zhang Shi, I was so excited that I didn't have time to tell you."

"I'm glad you're alright." Zhang Shi smiled, walked up and patted Zhao Feng on the shoulder. "Let's quickly check for any clues here. Maybe we can find something related to the mission."

"Oh, by the way, what's in this treasure chest? Have you checked it?"

Zhang Shi's eyes fell on the treasure chest.

Zhao Feng turned around, about to explain something to Zhang Shi, but Zhang Shi's expression suddenly turned icy cold. Old Duan flashed out of his hand, unleashing a triple attack that struck the back of Zhao Feng's head.
