Ling Xiao grabbed the rope with one hand, leaned forward, and then pulled sharply, pressing A Ning's face directly against the rope's chain. A Ning's cheek made close contact with the cold chain surface, and her skin felt a chill and a roughness. Due to Ling Xiao's strength, A Ning's body was forced against the cliff wall, her body pressed tightly against the rock surface, as if trying to merge into it.

"What do you want to do?" Ah Ning asked through gritted teeth, her breath coming in short gasps. She tried to support herself with her left hand, but her injured right arm made it difficult to exert any strength. When she fell, her right arm had grazed the sharp rocks, leaving a deep gash that bled profusely, staining her sleeve red. Now, a sharp pain shot through her, making it almost impossible for her to hold onto the iron chain.

"What do you think I should do?" Ling Xiao grabbed A Ning's hair and looked down. A Ning tried to break free, but unexpectedly, the semi-transparent Ling Xiao remained completely still.

Damn, how can he be so strong!

“Ah Ning, I hate it when people take advantage of me.”

“Of course, the dead are meant to benefit the living. I really didn’t expect you to still be alive after all this. To be honest, haha, you’re quite hard to kill,” A-Ning replied with a smile, which made her look much more carefree than before.

"No destruction, no construction; I should thank you." Ling Xiao tugged at her hard, causing A Ning to fall again, and making her grip the chains tightly once more.

That's the end of it... Ah Ning breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, when she brought up the issue of self-interest, Ling Xiao was understanding.

Jieyuhua's journey was truly arduous. When he finally descended, he found the place flooded, and within the floodwaters stood a black coffin, seemingly waiting for something. The coffin exuded a heavy aura, its presence making the entire space eerie and terrifying, inspiring fear in everyone.

Ling Xiao walked to his side and gently patted his arm. Xie Yuhua grasped his hand, and a few tears welled up in her eyes.

"Lingzi, how are you feeling right now?" The fat man carefully held up his flashlight, not daring to shine it on Lingxiao, for fear that the light might blow away Lingxiao.

"Hey! Are you guys alright?" Wu Xie shouted down from above, but whether he didn't see clearly or triggered some mechanism, he slipped and fell down.

Unlike Aning, who fell in a different way, he rolled down completely without even grabbing onto any rope. Fortunately, Hei Xia caught him in the end.

"Young Master, be careful! If the blind man doesn't catch you, he'll be torn to pieces. It's a terrible sight to fall like that." That's what Black Bear said, but he kept his eyes on the angled spot. Once the person there was spotted, he quickly retreated.

Wu Sansheng.

Wu Xie talked for a long time, then looked up and found that Hei Xiazi was ignoring him. He turned to look in the direction Hei Xiazi was looking, but didn't notice anything. He then turned back to talk to Ling Xiao, but it was mostly just things like how great it was to see him again.

Ah Ning had no time to listen to their reminiscing. She whistled and the mercenaries came down one after another, and in an instant, they dragged Wu Sansheng, who was pretending to be unconscious, down as well.

“It’s a horizontal bronze chain,” one of the people Aning brought said.

After thinking for a while, Aning took out the photos from the underwater tomb and found one of them. The mural showed the Dongxia people carrying bows and arrows, climbing on a cliff. The background was very similar to their current scene.
