Chapter 67: Memory Distortion? After changing the bandages and doing a simple rewrap, we sat in silence. When Hou Jinshan woke up, he immediately started fawning over Lu Ayao, babbling about this and that. Lu Ayao didn't reply to a single word, but Hou Jinshan kept talking up a storm all by himself. I kept quiet simply because I couldn't be bothered to deal with him, and I didn't want him overhearing too much of our conversation. As for Lu Ayao, I figured he had something on his mind, as I'd never…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 68: Trapped Again No one in their right mind would willingly crawl into a coffin to keep company with the dead. So when it came to climbing up, we were all in perfect agreement. The pillar was covered in intricate carvings and decorative protrusions. The only upside to such a design was that it gave us plenty of footholds. We picked a spot with the most cutouts and started climbing. Lu A'yao led the way as usual, but this time, we had to make sure Hou Jinshan didn’t try to slip away…

- Chapter 57: First Brush with Death The ringing in my ears vanished a split second before the cloud of scales descended. All I could hear was the roar of water, and from the corner of my eye, I saw Li Wanchou, his bloodied eyes shut tight, breaking the surface of the lake. He must have taken me for his last hope of survival. He grabbed onto me in desperation, probably thinking I could pull him up to the stone path. What he didn’t expect was how terrible my balance was. His sudden yank caught me…

- Chapter 58: Sudden Upheaval I hadn’t even finished speaking when Hou Jinshan burst out laughing. "Kid, trying to trick me again? This time, I’m not falling for it." My thoughts were much clearer now. Earlier, I’d been influenced by He Yu, but ever since we entered the cave this time, I’d been paying close attention to the passage of time. Exactly two hours had passed from the moment we started diving until now. I figured it was time to stop and sort out my thoughts. Li Wanchou had…

- Chapter 59: Man Eats Man My limbs were pinned down, leaving me unable to move. Deep down, I had already sensed something like this might happen, but my reaction was far too slow. If it had been Tian Yuqing in my place, he would have had a strategy prepared and a way to handle it ahead of time. At the very least, he wouldn't have ended up at such a severe disadvantage. To say I was a rare clever person among the juniors of the Five Masters was giving me way too much credit. Calling me the most…

- Chapter 60: Suffocation This covered bridge probably doesn’t have many traps, but that’s just my preliminary guess. After all, I’m not the one who built these ruins. Someone capable of embedding iron chains into the bases of underwater stone statues is definitely no ordinary craftsman. If he insisted on rigging the bridge with something, I’d just have to accept my fate. Besides, it’s not as if my mouth is actually blessed with divine foresight. I raised my hand and gave Hou Jinshan a…

- Chapter 61: Ghost Paintings and the Ghost Ruins "Get some rest and prepare to move out again." "This cave must have been flooded. Everything's damp. What a damn mess." "Keep your voice down. Don’t let Boss Yu hear you." The rustling voices stirred me from sleep. The stone beneath me was hard enough to bruise bone, and there was still water in my lungs I hadn’t completely coughed out. I sat up and hacked a few times, the world slowly coming into focus. I saw a fire burning nearby, a blanket…

- Chapter 62: A Counterfeit Relic As soon as she finished speaking, I realized something was off. A logical person always has a focus when speaking, and Yujingzi was undoubtedly that type. She had said a lot, but every point she made stuck clearly in my mind. Also, this was the first time I had ever heard of something called the "Wood-Returning Stone." Her emphasis leaned heavily toward that, unlike Hou Jinshan, who had clearly focused more on the Ghost Market Map itself. Why? I was deeply puzzled.…
