The moment the stone gate opened, a troop of cavalry charged out.

Everyone tried to dodge, but the space at the bottom of the well was too small to avoid.

For a moment, everyone was plunged into despair, and could only watch helplessly as a cavalry unit charged toward them.

"Uncle, help!"

"Brother Zhang Hao!"

"Zhang Hao, save me!"

"Boss, I don't want to die!"

In their desperation, everyone instinctively turned to Zhang Hao for help.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly, raised his head and struck in front of him, and the cavalrymen instantly disappeared.

"call……"

Only after the cavalry disappeared did everyone breathe a sigh of relief, collapsing to the ground and panting heavily.

"Uncle, what was that thing just now? How did you take care of it so easily?"

When Wu Tianzhen asked the question, everyone else moved closer, equally curious about how Zhang Hao had made the cavalry disappear.

"What happened just now was simply caused by the stone door suddenly opening and air entering, which instantly oxidized the murals. It caused no damage at all."

"So that's how it is. We were terrified by that thing just now. When it suddenly rushed out, I thought we were going to die. Luckily, you reacted quickly, Uncle."

Zhang Hao was able to immediately identify the charging cavalry because he had night vision.

The moment the stone door opened, the murals behind it came into view.

Others, looking into the doorway without any light, saw only complete darkness, which was naturally incomparable to Zhang Hao's view.

After the group recovered from their injuries, they got up and followed Zhang Hao across the stone gate into the ancient tomb behind it.

The fat man shone his powerful flashlight forward and discovered that there were indeed murals on the wall. The cavalry that had charged out earlier were just like those in the murals, except that the colors of the murals had peeled off and they were not as clear as they had been.

"who is it!"

As soon as everyone entered the ancient tomb, the fat man suddenly turned around and roared.

"Fatty, what's wrong with you? There's no one else behind you except me."

Ding Yudie looked at the fat man with a completely bewildered expression.

He had been following the fat man ever since they entered the tomb; there was no one else around.

The fat man frowned: "I clearly felt someone behind me just now, and he even put his hand on my shoulder."

"Fatty, do you think we're three-year-olds? We're all in the underground business, why would we be afraid of something like this?"

The fat man said innocently, "I'm telling the truth, something really did put its hand on my shoulder."

At this moment, Zhang Hao suddenly noticed something unusual about the fat man.

There was a faint handprint where his neck and shoulder met.

"Fatty, take off your clothes."

The fat man immediately clutched his chest: "Brother Zhang Hao, what are you trying to do!"

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in fat. Hurry up and take it off."

Seeing Zhang Hao's serious expression, the fat man knew he wasn't joking, so he took off his shirt.

His skin was very fair, but there was a dark handprint on his shoulder.

Everyone's expression changed upon seeing this.

"You're not kidding!"

"What exactly is that thing? How come none of us noticed it when there were so many of us together?"

"I'm still following behind Fatty. There's no one else here except for the few of us."

……

The appearance of a handprint on the fat man's shoulder was indeed quite puzzling.

Zhang Hao frowned. If there was anything unclean, it wouldn't escape his eyes.

He didn't notice anything unusual, so where did the dark handprint on the fat man's shoulder come from?

Aside from a minor incident when the stone gate opened, there were no other unusual occurrences along the way.

That incident must have happened when the stone gate opened.

"Could the problem lie in the paint on the mural?"

"Everyone, check your shoulders for handprints!"

"Ok."

Everyone responded and took off their shirts to check.

"Hey, everyone has handprints on their shoulders, why are only Sa Sa and me without them?"

"Have we been marked in some kind of way?"

If neither he nor Zhang Qilin had handprints on them, Zhang Hao would consider handprints to be bad things.

Because of the exorcising power of Qilin blood, neither he nor Zhang Qilin would have any evil spirits.

However, regardless of whether they had Qilin blood or not, black handprints appeared on their bodies, except for Yi Sa and Ding Yudie.

The only difference between them and the others is that they are both mutated water demons.

That's where the problem might lie.

The pigments in the murals must contain some special substance that can distinguish between humans and monsters whose bodies are possessed by the consciousness of gods.

If anyone who hasn't been marked enters the ancient tomb, something bad might happen.

Zhang Hao said to Yi Sa and Ding Yudie, "If you two go in, the danger might double, or rather, all the danger might be directed at you two. Do you still want to go in?"

"Go in, of course you have to go in!"

Yi Sa answered without hesitation.

"There might be something in the tomb that unlocks the secret of our mutated water demon identity. We finally found our way here, so even if it costs me my life, I have to go in."

"I share the same thought as Sa Sa; we'd give up our lives for it!"

"Well done!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man applauded for the two of them.

After making the decision, Zhang Hao led the team to continue deeper into the area.

There is a record of this tomb in Hemuji, but after entering it, Zhang Hao found that it was very different from the record.

It is likely that after the mute army recorded the sealing of this tomb, Zhang Jiazu modified it again.

Although this tomb was a test from the Zhang family ancestors for the Zhang family members, it does not mean that the tomb is without danger.

The Zhang family was once a powerful clan, capable of influencing the course of history.

Such large families have many members, and they would never go easy on their children in order to test them.

Moreover, because they had a good understanding of the Zhang family, the mechanisms and traps in the tomb were even modified in a targeted manner.

For the Zhang family, this tomb was far more dangerous than other tombs; they could lose their lives at any moment.

The stone gate faces a stone wall painted with murals, and behind the stone wall is a long tomb passage.

The tomb passage was only a hundred meters long, and it was completely empty.

He first used sound waves to locate and probe the tomb passage, but found no traps before going up.

The more innocuous it seemed, the more Zhang Hao sensed the danger within.

"Everyone be careful and try to stay close."

"what!"

As soon as he stepped into the tomb passage, a scream came from behind him.

Zhang Hao turned around and saw that several tiny black insects had flown out of the walls on both sides at some point.

These insects look very similar to rove beetles, but they are less than one-tenth the size of rove beetles.

They fly out and land on people, instantly creating a blister the size of a fist wherever they land.

At this moment, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie were covered in blisters.

Surprisingly, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Zhang Qilin were all unharmed; the insects bypassed them and attacked Yi Sa and Ding Yudie instead.
