"Brother Hei's plan is really shrewd," Xie Yuhua said sarcastically to Hei Xiazi.

Hei Xiazi pretended not to understand him and laughed it off, saying, "Master Hua is joking. I don't know accounting, so where would I get an abacus?"

"What should I do? My little flower brother is unhappy, and I haven't been able to appease him yet. I'm afraid I can't help Master Hei anytime soon." Ling Xiao's expression showed regret, but Xie Yuhua raised the corners of her lips.

Only the bear's teeth were grinding together, making a rattling sound.

A creaking sound came from the body.

"What's that sound?" Wu Xie was the first to speak, but by the time he asked, Ling Xiao and the other two had already run towards the corpse.

Unfortunately, it's too late...

"Get out of the way!" Xie Yuhua grabbed Ling Xiao and ran in one direction.

With a thud, the corpse fell to the ground, the clay shattering into pieces, and the mercury inside its body flowed out, with something jumping around on it.

A pungent odor immediately filled the air, and the fat man, quite experienced in smelling it, warned, "This mercury smell is poisonous; everyone hold your breath."

Wu Xie and Cheng Yu covered their noses as he spoke, while Hei Xiazi held his breath and went forward to check.

As the mercury flowed out, the corpse instantly became shriveled. Because the lower body was dry and the threads connecting the head and body were old and could not support its weight, the head rolled off and rolled all the way to Wuxie's feet.

Then there was a crackling sound, and the mask that couldn't be pulled off fell off, revealing a skeleton that had turned to white bones underneath. Strangely, only the part under the mask had become a skeleton, while the outside part was still surrounded by skin and flesh.

A huge surprise hit Wu Xie, leaving him somewhat dazzled and at a loss for what to do. After a while, he finally hugged the fat man and the two of them chanted Amitabha together.

They didn't know how long the two of them howled, until their flashlights fell to the ground and the skeleton emitted a strange light. Only then did they realize that the skeleton had a luminous pearl in its mouth.

Wearing gloves, Wu Xie carefully removed the luminous pearl from the skull's mouth. Whether he used too much force or the skull's bones were porous, he accidentally removed its jaw as well…

When Wu Xie pushed it back in, the skull's upper and lower jaws were shattered together...

"You've trained before?" the fat man asked him with a hint of doubt.

Wu Xie also felt a little embarrassed. He swallowed and placed the skull on the ground properly. He then repeated to the skull three times, just like the fat man had done before, "I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry."

The luminous pearl that Wu Xie had placed on the ground was still shining. Ling Xiao turned off his flashlight, tugged at Xie Yuhua's sleeve, and gestured for him to look at the sky in Wu Xie's direction.

On the dark grid panel illuminated by the luminous pearl, a painting seemed to emerge, and the surrounding walls also showed a slight tendency to appear.

Ling Xiao and Xie Yuhua exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and then walked together toward the luminous pearl.

Ling Xiao picked up the luminous pearl and shone it around. Sure enough, the paintings were connected. Wu Xie and the others also saw this phenomenon, stood up, and gathered around.

"Fatty said he'd been looking at it for ages and hadn't found anything. Turns out the tool was wrong. Tianzhen, take a good look. Is this bead real this time? Last time, that one really screwed me over!" Fatty excitedly grabbed Wuxie and started appraising it.
