Clearly, Wu Xie didn't understand why there were these kinds of fish here.

Ling Xiao looked at Wu Xie with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong with this fish?"

Wu Xie asked, "It's not that there's anything wrong with this kind of fish, it's that there are fish here! How do they survive? What do they eat?"

"Eat people! If we can't eat people, we'll eat our own kind. Maybe all the tomb raiders from before will have been eaten." Ling Xiao said to Wu Xie in a joking manner.

But after thinking for a moment, he added, "If it eats people, how do it expel the bones?"

He seemed to be thinking very seriously. Wu Xie rolled his eyes at him, but Ling Xiao didn't see it. He turned his head and stared at him with his big eyes, asking, "Hey, do you think this thing might be like a snake, unable to poop out but able to spit it out?"

Wu Xie cursed at him, "Aren't you disgusting?"

At that moment, Lao Yang's trembling voice came over: "There are steps here..."

It turned out that the fish's tail had slapped him onto the steps.

"I'm pretty lucky..." Ling Xiao murmured.

At the top of the steps was a stone chamber supported by wood. The two of them dragged Lao Yang into the stone chamber.

Ling Xiao glanced at Lao Yang's condition; he was half-crippled. Although his wounds were bandaged, they started bleeding again after being soaked in sewage and from the fish's tail.

Lao Yang didn't seem worried about his own wounds, and said to the fish on the steps, "Let's eat it."

Wu Xie, recalling Ling Xiao's earlier words, said disdainfully, "You can eat it yourself, I'm not eating it!"

Lao Yang then tried to drag the fish away.

Wu Xie picked up some wood and built a fire to dry the clothes, while Ling Xiao took off his clothes and took out a few bottles of water to rinse himself.

Wu Xie snatched the water away, and Ling Xiao, assuming he also wanted to wash, asked, "Do you want to rinse off too?"

Wu Xie said somewhat angrily, "Do you know that we're already in a tomb and water resources are scarce? And you actually used it to bathe?"

Ling Xiao said in a low voice, "The water here smells terrible."

Wu Xie thought about the greenish-blue sewage and the fish with bad breath, and then let go of the water. Ling Xiao took the water back and continued rinsing.

After showering, Ling Xiao changed into a clean set of clothes.

"Lingzi, how many clothes did you bring?" Wuxie asked from the bottom of his heart. These days, Ling Xiao changed his clothes every day and was always as clean as if he had taken a bath, which was very different from him and Lao Yang. Could this guy's bag be full of water and clothes?

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and replied, "There might be more than ten sets..."

"More than ten sets?" Wu Xie jumped to his feet and couldn't help but scold, "You actually filled all those places that could hold food with all sorts of random clothes? Are you itching for something?"

"What do you mean by 'messy clothes'?! I'll say it again! This is Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse!" Ling Xiao argued vehemently. Wu Xie was really going too far! She couldn't even remember Mickey Mouse!

Ling Xiao expressed his anger and said the consequences would be severe. He kicked the fish that Lao Yang had finally managed to pull up back into the water.

Lao Yang: "...My...fish!"

Lao Yang immediately wilted and listlessly went to dry his clothes next to Wu Xie. Even when he thought about his plans, he couldn't muster any enthusiasm.

He had been driven crazy by this ancestor along the way, but he couldn't blame Ling Xiao for anything... Ling Xiao always managed to deliver a fatal blow when he was interested in something, just like the fish just now, but he didn't do it on purpose.

When Ling Xiao makes a mistake, he will take the initiative to apologize, just like now...

"I'm sorry, Lao Yang, I didn't mean it. I'm just so angry! Wu Xie doesn't even know Mickey Mouse. Don't you think he went too far?" As he spoke, Ling Xiao started to get a little agitated again.

Lao Yang quickly stopped him, saying, "It's...it's okay! You didn't...do it on purpose!"

Ling Xiao smiled at him and said, "Lao Yang! I knew it! You're a good person, the best person in the world!"

Lao Yang blushed from Ling Xiao's praise. Not wanting him to continue, he suggested, "I think... these clothes are about right! Let's... let's continue walking inside!"

Lao Yang turned on his flashlight and walked into the stone path, with Wu Xie and Ling Xiao following behind him, but neither of them paid any attention to the other.

Wu Xie finally gave in and said to him, "Okay, don't be angry with me anymore. I won't say your clothes are a mess."

Ling Xiao looked at him curiously, then cautiously pointed to the cartoon pattern on his clothes and asked, "Then tell me, who is it?"

“Mickey Mouse,” Wuxie replied.

Ling Xiao immediately perked up, nodded, and smiled, saying, "Yes! He's Mickey Mouse, his name is Mickey, his best friend is Donald Duck, Donald Duck's girlfriend is Daisy, and he also has a dog named..."

Looking at his excited expression, Wu Xie thought to himself: He really is still a child!

"Why are there so many stone figures?" Lao Yang asked from the front.

Wu Xie looked over and found that there were stone figures on both sides of the stone path ahead. These stone figures were obviously more exquisite than those outside, and they were not as tall as those outside. They also did not have holes in their bodies. Instead, each stone figure was carved with a double-bodied snake.

“This is a memorial to the soldiers, while those outside are prisoners of war,” Wu Xie explained.

After passing these stone figures, the three reached the end of the stone path, where a stone chamber was located. In the center of the chamber was a stone coffin, surrounded by piles of messy stones that looked like scraps from a carving project.

The stone coffin was very large, with exquisite carvings of two-bodied snakes on it, but the snake tails were very rough, as if they were not yet finished.

Lao Yang circled the stone coffin twice and asked curiously, "Do you think there might be any rice dumplings here?"

Wu Xie, holding a flashlight, observed the surroundings and said, "No, there's no rule about placing the body in the coffin before carving it. This should be an empty coffin."

"No! There's something here!" Lao Yang exclaimed, as he was bending over and peering through the crack in the coffin.

Wu Xie leaned closer and looked from a distance, exclaiming, "There really is one!"

"Let's open it and take a look!" Lao Yang suggested.

Ling Xiao glanced at Wu Xie and then advised, "Let's not open it. Let's look for another way!"

Wu Xie nodded in agreement, but to his surprise, Lao Yang suddenly took several steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud, leaving only the beam of the flashlight shining haphazardly as it rolled on the ground.

Wu Xie wanted to go up and ask Lao Yang what he was doing, but a withered hand grabbed his wrist.

The wrist was incredibly strong, and Wu Xie couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.

Ling Xiao noticed the noise around him, so he went over to Wu Xie and took Wu Xie's hand.

A commotion arose from all around. Ling Xiao took out his dagger and severed the corpse's hand with a single stroke.

Wu Xie freed his hands but fell to the ground due to inertia. Ling Xiao took the opportunity to take out the nine-section whip, ready for battle.
