Chapter 173: The Dead Man's Credentials The passage ahead reached its first corner. He Yu stopped and shone his flashlight at the ground. "Whoa! Your analysis was spot on. Look at all this sand and these footprints. They're a mess. Looks like quite a few people from that damn archaeology team made it in!" I was leaning against He Yu's back, my chest hurting too much to even stand up straight. I could only listen as he described the scene. "We've been seeing these footprints all along the way, but…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 161: The Abandoned Research Institute I huddled in the corner as the world returned to silence once more. I crouched there with my eyes shut, waiting for a long while, but no monsters came rushing out. Only then did I slowly move my backpack aside, trembling as I swept my flashlight toward the source of the noise. Under the beam of my flashlight, I saw porcelain shards scattered across the floor. The ceramics in this burial chamber were all placed inside niches in the stone wall. There was no…

- Chapter 162: Footprints I really hadn't entered this place on my own. At the time, Bai Shenxian said we'd been washed in by the current. Holding my flashlight, I thought back over it for a moment and felt like something didn't quite add up. The current had swept us in fast, and I'd somehow gotten separated from Liang Si. That proved there must be multiple passages connected to the Tomb-guarding Beast, which was the only way we could have been scattered into different Side Chambers. But if this was…

- Chapter 163: Going Berserk The person holding a knife to my throat was actually Tian Xiaoqi! Damn it, I never would have guessed in a million years that the person I'd just saved was this broad! But how did she get here? Had she been trailing our team the whole time without us noticing? "What are you doing here?" I blurted out. Tian Xiaoqi immediately made a shushing gesture. She lowered the knife from my throat and pointed it toward the wardrobe door. Clearly, she had also noticed the slimy,…

- Chapter 164: The One Who Set the Trap As I walked further, I soon saw a sign that instantly calmed my surge of anger. Standing right in the middle of the path, it bore several large characters: "DANGER AREA, NO ENTRY." I adjusted my flashlight to broaden its beam, shining it on the identical doors and windows behind the sign. In this so-called "danger area," those doors and windows were still wide open, with test tubes and glass shards scattered along the corridor beside them. It was unclear what…

- Chapter 165: The White Corpse Turtle Immortal Hearing those words, I felt the hair on my arms stand on end. No matter how I interpreted that sentence, it felt incredibly bizarre. It was clearly a statement of foresight. There was no way the news of me learning the Art of Mechanisms could have reached the Tian Family; at least, that was what I believed at the time. But how did Tian Xiao know? How could he be so certain that I would eventually learn the Art of Mechanisms? Had my grandfather…

- Chapter 166: Layers of Illusion But this time, the situation was different from before. My consciousness wavered for only a fleeting moment before I snapped back to clarity. My flashlight lay beside me, and I was lying alone on a large rock, half-submerged in water. Looking up, I could see the giant turtle poking its head out from the caisson ceiling. This was the side chamber where Bai Shenxian had dived and left from at the very beginning. It felt incredibly real. I could even smell the…

- Chapter 156: Leave None Alive Whether it was my words or my posture, Liang Si finally began to re-examine me. I wasn't afraid of his scrutiny. As he could see, I was a fresh face in this business. Fourth Brother had never brought me to any of the Pankou to show me off. Liang Si and his lot were the type who knew someone like me existed but had never seen me in person. Their current fear stemmed precisely from the fact that they couldn't gauge my depth. Liang Si's eyes darted around before he suddenly…
