“That’s easy for you to say. It’s not that easy to find.” Hu Min frowned. The feeling of being dismissed again and again made her a little frustrated.

This group of ordinary people did not have a solution, but that did not mean that Yun Qin did not have a solution. While everyone was still trying to figure out a solution, Yun Qin walked to the side and quietly released the greedy ghost and Xu Yu.

Xu Yu looked at her surroundings and shivered. She said, “Ah, this place is so scary. I’m scared.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yun Qin rolled her eyes at her and said, “You’re a ghost. You shouldn’t be the one scared.”

When the others were not paying attention to her, Yun Qin said in a low voice, “Go find the secret passage in this tomb. There should be a mechanism that, once activated, would allow air from the outside to rush in.”

“We have to go by ourselves? That’s terrifying. I don’t want to.” Although Xu Yu was a female ghost, her thoughts were no different from an ordinary little girl, so she instinctively refused.

However, when she saw Yun Qin glaring at her, she gave in and said in a low voice, “Alright.”

The greedy ghost was very excited. It was enthusiastic about the mission that Yun Qin gave and was jumping up and down.

Looking at the people not far from her, Yun Qin instructed, “Don’t reveal yourself. Don’t let them discover you.”

After the two ghosts received their orders, they floated away.

After Yun Qin returned to the group, Hu Min and the others just exited the first safe grid.

“The carving depicts a sacrifice, so this should be the process,” Hu Min said as she threw a coin onto a tile.

However, a mechanism sound followed, and more iron arrows shot out.

Her prediction proved to be incorrect again. Hu Min was a little discouraged and threw a coin into the tunnel.

However, her action activated the mechanism again. The walls in the distance began to converge, and many sharp thorns appeared on the walls.

This scene made everyone frown. Fatty laughed dryly and said, “Haha, this thing really… is not giving anyone a way out.”

As the walls converged, the passageway became narrower and narrower, but no one dared to go forward. Therefore, everyone could only watch as the wall closed tightly, not allowing anyone to pass through.

“Damn it.” Ma Yue could not help but curse. Then, he scratched his head and thought hard.

Zhuang Sen had another idea and suggested, “Let Luo Hui blow it up.”

Luo Hui cupped his hands as if he already intended to do so.

Ma Yue gritted his teeth and said, “No, this place is hollow. If we blow it up, it would cause a huge commotion. We don’t know how far away the Qin family is from us. If they discover us…”

However, there was no other way, so they could only choose to use brute force to crack it.

Everyone felt a wave of distress in their hearts as they made their decision.

Soon, Yun Qin discovered that the greedy ghost and Xu Yu returned. Hence, she quietly walked to a hidden place and asked, “Where is it?”

Xu Yu pointed at a tomb not far away and said, “It’s under the floor there. The floor is hollow.”

Following that, Xu Yu stuck her head out and looked at the people in front of her. She said in surprise, “Wow, why is there someone with a gun? Wait!”

After seeing a certain person, Xu Yu subconsciously covered her mouth and stammered, “Why… is there a corpse?”

Yun Qin turned her head and saw that Xu Yu was looking at Luo Hui’s sister, Luo Ke. Xu Yu confirmed her guess. Yun Qin was also shocked and said calmly, “Go back into the Soul Bead. We’ll talk later.”

After saying that, she waved her hand and the greedy ghost and Xu Yu returned to the Soul Bead.

“The real passage is not here.” Yun Qin walked in and said lightly.

“Damn, speaking up like that all of a sudden scared me to death.” Fatty patted his chest and said in shock.

Yun Qin thought to herself, ‘If you knew that the woman next to you was a corpse, you probably would be even more afraid.’

Yun Qin silently sized up the sinister-looking Luo Hui and pointed at the tomb that Xu Yu just discovered.

“How do you know?” Zhuang Sen looked in confusion.

“I calculated it. Let’s go.” Yun Qin did not want to say too much and urged everyone to go.

Seeing that the secret passageway that Yun Qin mentioned was in a small tomb a few meters away around the corner, Ma Yue’s expression was a little strange. He said, “This one I checked. Other than a few boxes of bamboo slips, there’s nothing else.”

However, Yun Qin still walked in and stood in the middle of the tomb. She said, “It’s down there.”

Fatty stomped the ground a few times and his expression immediately changed. “Hey, listen, this sound is crisp. The bottom is empty!”

After verifying this discovery, everyone’s spirits came back. They took out their tools and started to dig.

Sure enough, after Zhuang Sen hit a certain spot, a pitch-black hole appeared on the floor.

After shining the light down, they saw that the bottom was not far below.. Fatty was pleasantly surprised. “Holy shit, there’s a tomb underneath!”
