Chapter 162: Footprints I really hadn't come in here on my own. Bai Shenxian said at the time that we had been washed in by the current. As I held my flashlight, I thought about it for a moment and felt like something didn't quite add up. The current had pushed us in very quickly, and I had somehow been separated from Liang Si. This proved that there must be many passages connected to the Tomb-guarding Beast. That was the only way we could have been scattered and washed into different Side Chambers.…-

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 just saved was this woman. 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 viscous,…

Chapter 161: The Abandoned Research Institute I huddled in the corner as the world returned to silence once more. I crouched there, 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 reflection of the beam, I saw porcelain shards scattered across the floor. The ceramics in this burial chamber were all placed in niches carved into the stone walls. There was no…

Chapter 159: Ghost Possession I swam a little closer, using my flashlight to scan the silk wrapping the corpse. The dark silk was heavily patterned with cloud motifs, and gold threads were woven into the fabric. Under the beam of my light, these gold threads floated loosely where the silk had frayed or torn. It was then that I noticed a rotted, discolored wooden plaque hanging from the corpse's waist. Only a single character was written on it. I hadn't studied the scripts of various dynasties, so I…

Chapter 160: A Desperate Measure Judging by Bai Shenxian's expression, he didn't seem to be joking. However, the story he told sounded like a fairy tale to me, the supposed protagonist. That said, I quickly connected it to some strange occurrences from my hometown. I'd heard my grandfather talk about many instances of children crying incessantly at night. In mild cases, they just wouldn't stop sobbing; in more severe cases, they would sit up in bed unconsciously, talking to themselves or making…

Chapter 158: The Male Corpse I must have been blind to miss a Tomb-guarding Beast of that size. I berated myself inwardly. I also had to admit I was overthinking things. Sometimes, the more a person prepares for the worst, the easier it is to mess things up. I was exactly that kind of person. This was my first time leading a team underwater, and we were in the deep waters of the South China Sea. Moreover, I had Liang Si right beside me, so I hadn't planned on letting people split up to explore…

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 hesitation stemmed precisely from the fact that they couldn't gauge my depth. Liang Si's eyes darted around before he…

Chapter 157: A Wall? I sat on the edge of the boat, my gaze hidden behind diving goggles as I looked toward Liang Si and his group. They were swearing loudly and splashing water at the side of the vessel, looking extremely relaxed. I tightened the strap on my wrist and watched them quietly. The reason Liang Si and his men were so at ease was that, including myself and Bai Shenxian, I had only brought four people down. On their side, they had at least seven hands, and they had even brought along that…
