Chapter 181: The Wall of the Dead But how could there be people talking inside the walls! The realization made my entire body go rigid. Lu Ayao didn't loosen his grip on me at all, clearly afraid that if my terror reached a certain point, I might bolt and crash into the stone. My eyes had mostly adjusted to the darkness by now. I opened them wide, desperately trying to see if any strange new figures had appeared in the tunnel. Unfortunately, despite my searching, nothing new had emerged. Instead,…-

Chapter 180: Whispers As soon as he said those words, I clearly heard Tian Xiaoqi and He Yu gasp behind me. I was the only one who didn't have much of a reaction; his statement was within my expectations. I had already entertained this hypothesis, though I hadn't sought confirmation from Lu Ayao. On one hand, I felt the matter was harmless. If a Lu Clan ancestor truly had been involved in building this tomb, and our team happened to include the current Clan Head, it should be a good thing for our…-

Chapter 179: The Builder The moment I crawled into the hole, a chilling draft snaked down my collar. I rubbed my arms and scrambled forward a few steps. The interior of the Stone Tortoise Mouth was absolute darkness. I hadn't been crawling long before my flashlight flickered and died. I figured I'd dropped it one too many times; it was about time for it to be scrapped anyway. There were four of us and three flashlights left. Even without mine, I had Lu Ayao's light ahead to guide the way, so I wasn't…-

Chapter 178: Charcoal-Grilled Turtles Startled, I spotted a Stone Tortoise statue in the corner of the tomb passage. Taking two quick steps, I used the Stone Tortoise as a foothold to scramble up the wall. Just as I poked my head over the top, I realized Lu Ayao was right on the other side of the wall, directly beneath me. At that exact moment, he cracked his whip, sending a White Corpse Turtle Immortal flying just as it was about to lunge for his face. In the past, whenever Lu Ayao used his whip or…-

Chapter 177: Joining Forces Lu Ayao crushed the cigarette in his hand. I knew he must have come to his senses. I told myself that no matter what, reaching that realization was the first step. After all, he had just witnessed the corpse of a loved one; no matter how strong his mental state, there had to be an adjustment period. I would have to help him work through the rest once we got out of here. I nodded and began packing my things, ready to shoulder my bag again. Just then, I heard a rustling…-

Chapter 176: Seeking Death I watched in silence as Lu Ayao walked toward me. He ignored me at first, instead looking the White Corpse Turtle Immortal up and down where it was pinned to the wall, split in two by his machete. Only after confirming it was thoroughly dead did he pull the blade free. Blood dripped from the steel, staining the floor as he bypassed me to sit in a dark corner of the passage. I sat where I was, taking a long moment to recover my wits. From the shadows about three meters away,…-

Chapter 175: Spirit Channeling It was impossible for any mechanism to silently move a massive, solid stone door to another location. This was a matter of physics, not metaphysics; moving something that heavy would inevitably make noise. With that realization, our previous "mechanism theory" fell apart. But if it wasn't a large-scale mechanism, what else in a tomb could move a door without a sound? He Yu sucked in a breath of cold air. "Um, Xiao Yao, let me brainstorm for a second. Have you ever…-

Chapter 174: The Yin-Yang Thirteen Palaces I realized something immediately. I had been wrong from the very start when I first saw that string of numbers. I had been calculating based on what each part of the code represented after the founding of New China—for example, "434" stood for the 434 Archaeological Team, and "1951" likely referred to the year 1951. But I had forgotten one thing: the code for the Nine Rings Project was "4341951009." It didn't just refer to a single part. To truly…-
