Chapter 32: Qin-style Brazier We stumbled into a Side Chamber purely by accident. It had been pitch black while we were running for our lives, but judging by my sense of direction, the corridor we came through was a straight shot. We ran all the way to the end, and the chamber was right there. We held the stone door shut for a while. Once the sounds outside gradually faded into silence, Lu A'yao finally let go. He took the flashlight and began exploring the Side Chamber, while He Yu and I kept our…- 540.0 K • Completed
- Chapter 23: A Number of Caves He Yu was inside the coffin! The moment that thought struck me, I rushed forward and jammed the shovel under the coffin lid. In ancient times, coffins and their outer casings were sealed extremely tightly to prevent decay—leave a living person in there long enough, and they'd suffocate to death. The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became. I picked a spot and pushed upward with all the strength I had. The nested coffin lid, which normally would take two…

- Chapter 24: Hanging Corpse Banner If He Yu hadn’t been blindly crawling through holes and just happened to run into me by sheer dumb luck, I might’ve been stuck here for the rest of my life. In a place like this, phones are completely useless—no wonder He Yu only brought a watch. That watch had an extremely precise timer, was waterproof, and practically indestructible. The ticking hands reminded me that I’d already been trapped in this cavern for a full three hours—and I hadn’t even…

- Chapter 25: A Twenty-Six-Year-Old Minor I smacked He Yu hard on the shoulder. “Don’t just stand there! Move!” The slap snapped him out of it. The two of us crouched low, eyes on the ceiling as we hurriedly backed toward the Coffin and Outer Coffin. We’d barely taken two steps when a beam of flashlight flickered—and in that brief flash, I saw it. A pale corpse clinging to the rock wall, gliding sideways like a spider. “Shit! Is that a Corpse Reanimation?” He Yu clearly saw it too. He…

- Chapter 17: The Eccentric The tradition of the Record Keeper of the Heard has been passed down through the ages, branching into various sects over time. The He family remains steadfast in their adherence to the old ways. Traditional Record Keepers of the Heard hold a distinctly martial worldview, forbidding their direct descendants from pursuing official positions or high-level clerical work. As a direct descendant of the great-grandson generation, He Yu was naturally barred from such professions.…

- Chapter 18: A Rocky Start Once the makeshift pulley was securely fastened directly above the pit, everything was ready. The two professors entered the large tent one after the other. We followed closely behind. I initially intended to listen attentively to their arrangements, but as they spoke, I found it was like being in a math class—after a few sentences, I started to feel sleepy. So I moved over to sit next to He Yu. Most of the meeting was dominated by Wu Yili and the bald professor, with Tian…

- Chapter 19: Burial Pit Lu A'yao walked back to me and handed me a bottle of water. He told me that the pulley had gotten stuck halfway down, causing several people to lose their grip while trying to fix it. Suddenly, the pulley started working again, and several people above stumbled, letting go of the rope, and I plummeted down. Thankfully, the rope attached to my harness was long enough, and halfway down, the buckle got caught in a crevice. Otherwise, I would have been seriously injured. Sitting…

- Chapter 21: Breaking the Deadlock Tian Yuqing couldn’t determine our exact location, but he kept casting divinations again and again to confirm the direction of the pit wall. We leaned against it to rest. Both teams had been wandering around the bottom of the pit for six hours straight, and the moment we sat down, exhaustion hit us like a wave. Withered roots of plants dangled from the pit walls, their tendrils poking out of the soil. The temperature was steadily dropping, and our jackets weren’t…
