No one paid any attention to what Little Maitreya said, and no one touched the balls, but everyone knew one thing: the passage was open.

No one knows if there are other paths, but now a path has appeared.

Ling Xiao had previously said that rats don't make a sound inside the Buddha statue's belly, which proves that it's not a closed mouth. There's nothing here, yet a Buddha statue stands there with its mouth open, and only the Buddha statue has a mechanism.

Should we take a gamble?

Ling Xiao secretly glanced at the watch on Xie Yuhua's wrist; there were still 15 minutes until 7 o'clock.

Then, seemingly casually, he looked up at the height of the passage. It would take 15 minutes to climb up to the Buddha's mouth. The passage inside the small Maitreya Buddha statue would open at 7 o'clock. It wouldn't be a moment earlier or later.

These were all discovered by Ling Xiao from the blueprints on Chen Pi's body. They were put into practice by the predecessors with blood and lives. How could the successors dare to repeat the same mistakes?

He did have a fever, but it was just a bit dizzy and nauseous; he wasn't really delirious. Sometimes, a little bit of affection can even strengthen a relationship. As for why he didn't tell them, it was something Chen Pi had come up with...

Speaking out would only bring trouble, especially since he didn't want to be labeled a murderer, particularly since the victim was Chen Pi, someone who shouldn't have died so young. He was someone ostracized by the world's consciousness! It was best not to cause any more trouble.

What? The promise with Brother Xiaohua? He didn't break it. They said he wouldn't lie to him anymore. That happened in the past, and how can that be considered deception? Nor can it be considered taking advantage of him.

"Should we... go up?" Wu Xie had just asked this when Zhuang Zhuang climbed up the passage.

"Zhuangzhuang!" Wuxie wanted to bring him back, but he couldn't climb up after trying for a long time. In the end, Fatty climbed up and pulled him up with him.

"Now that the passage is open, let's risk it all! We'll attach the grappling hooks to the Buddha's mouth, and then we can climb up!" the fat man said, having already planned his escape route.

This was exactly what they wanted.

In this situation, the younger brother usually chooses to lead the way, but Zhuangzhuang climbed too fast, so the younger brother had no choice but to climb over the fat man and Wuxie to catch up with Zhuangzhuang.

Jieyuhua looked at Lingxiao with concern. Lingxiao seemed to have sobered up a bit, stopped clamoring for the puppy, and his eyes had become clearer. However, he was sweating a lot.

Wu Xie climbed only a small part of the distance after a long while. He lowered a rope and tied the other end to the fat man.

"Xiao Hua, tie this rope to Ling Zi and have Fatty bring him up with you!" Wu Xie said, climbing up and holding onto one side of the passage.

It wasn't that he insisted on crawling, but the sides of the passage were just too low. If he stood, he would fall if he wasn't careful. Crawling down would help him avoid that.

This passageway is like a roller coaster, with a 90° slope; it's clearly not meant for people to climb...

Black Bear also picked up the rope and put it around himself. If Fatty pulled it alone, he would easily fall off. If he fell, it would be a small matter, but the people behind him would suffer.

Cheng Yu immediately understood Hei Xiazi's actions and wrapped the rope around himself as well.

"Thank you." As Jieyuhua led Ling Xiao into the passage, he bowed deeply to everyone.

"Why are you being so polite, young master? The blind man needs to be paid for his services," Black Bear grinned at the person behind him.

In the already pitch-black tomb, only his teeth seemed particularly glaring...
