"What do you think you are?"

"I thought we had already passed the wall..." The fat man rubbed his nose, too embarrassed to say what he had just seen.

“What just happened was very unusual. I saw the illusion we experienced before again. It was the competition I didn’t finish in my illusion,” Cheng Yu said as he walked to Xie Yuhua’s side.

"Where's Xiao Ge?" Xie Yuhua asked Hei Xiazi. He had noticed that Xiao Ge hadn't been here since the voice changed, but he wasn't sure if what he thought was true. Xiao Ge hadn't said anything about how to get out of here, so if he really had gone out alone...

"They went to deal with the trouble, they can't all die here." Black Bear said nonchalantly.

Jieyuhua remained silent, and even looked at Heixiazi with a hint of wariness.

"Old man, are you... dead?" Wu Xie asked tentatively.

"Not yet... but soon... I'd like to say a few words to Young Master Shen, is that alright?" the old man said, sounding almost lifeless.

Seeing no response, he then placed his hopes on Wu Xie: "I'm... about to die... Brother Wu... please help me..."

"Hey old man, just say what you want to say. It's not like he can't hear you. You can't get out, and he can't get in. You two can whisper to each other, and we can hear you."

“It’s not that I don’t want to help you, he might… have forgotten what happened between you two…” Wu Xie’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was loud enough for the old man to hear clearly.

“Walk along this path, to the four corners, thirty steps back and forth to the left, fifty steps back and forth to the right… no matter how many, until you reach the northwest corner… the hidden compartment will sink down by itself. Here… you can only enter… not… exit… cough cough… let him… come alone… by himself.” The old man explained how to get to his position.

"Pah! You old geezer! You've caused so much harm! Why let people in if they can only go in but not out? To be like you, with a hole in their hand begging for water?" the fat man cursed.

“I can tell him to go out, but I can’t go out myself,” the old man explained.

Jieyuhua shook her head, indicating that Heixiazi should go and test the waters.

Black Bear pointed to himself, opened his mouth wide, looking quite shocked, then spread his hands and walked towards the corner of the wall with his head held high, as if resigned to his fate.

"You'd better not let anyone else come... I can help Young Master Shen return to life, but if that soul ends up in your body and you can't get rid of it, and then I die, that wouldn't be good," the old man warned.

"Grass is a kind of plant." Black Bear suddenly let out his anger after holding it in for so long. He had originally cursed, but seeing Ling Xiao's cluelessness, he somehow changed his words.

"He can go, I must accompany him." Xie Yuhua indicated that she was willing to compromise, but this compromise lacked any sincerity.

"It doesn't matter... I don't have much time left..." The old man had given in.

Following his instructions, Jieyuhua discovered that a passage had indeed opened. She took a fluorescent tool and led Lingxiao down the steps.

The passageway closed as soon as they went down, and even Hei Xiazi couldn't get in.

The passageway was very soundproof, so you couldn't hear anything outside. At the same time, it was incredibly hot, and the two of them were drenched in sweat in no time.

Unlike the murals outside, this passageway is carved with reliefs on both sides. If Wuxie were to come in, he would definitely want to find paper to make rubbings. Unfortunately, the two people below did not have such thoughts.

Unlike the dampness outside, it was exceptionally dry here. There were a few skeletons on the ground, which explained why the old man was so thirsty. In just a few minutes, both of them felt their throats were parched, as if they had walked into a desert.
