On the way to the underground palace, Lin Yi suddenly discovered something strange.

They didn't see many people in the village, but among the people they had seen so far, the oldest was only in his forties or fifties.

Lin Yi had not seen any elderly people over this age in this village.

Perhaps because of the alien illusion, the people in the village kept their age when they ate the alien meat while living forever.

But now, with the help of enhanced vision, Lin Yi suddenly found that there were many more elderly people in this village.

They were hunched over and moved slowly. When they saw the sacrifice running out, their gray eyes were full of anxiety.

They wanted to catch the sacrifice running by, but were pushed to the ground by the sacrifice.

The sacrifice pounced on one of the old men, opened his mouth and began to bite.

Not only that, at the moment the old man fell, it seemed that something flashed in front of them and burrowed into the soil.

Was it the alien ground cricket mentioned by Zhu Lai before?

"Don't look, go quickly." Zhu Lai seemed to notice that Lin Yi was watching what was happening in the village.

He stood in front of Lin Yi, holding a torch and urging him.

"If the guards notice the light here, they will definitely come here, and our plan will be delayed."

Lin Yi frowned. Zhu Lai must have guessed what happened in the village long ago.

Or maybe he decided to let the sacrifice go just for this scene.

But it must be said that the chaos in the village did make it easier for Lin Yi and his team to leave here.

Passing through the familiar passage, Lin Yi and his team came to the underground palace.

Looking at the magnificent palace built underground in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but be surprised.

"My goodness, if this building is placed in the normal world, it would be a scenic spot with admission fees."

Zhang Cheng murmured, "It would be nice if I could take a photo."

"If you want to see it, just look here for a while." Zhu Lai glanced back and said casually.

"Next, I just need to bring my mother out, and I can go by myself."

Having said that, Zhu Lai held the two children tightly in his hands.

They also saw the previous scene after the torches were lit in the village.

Although they did not have Zhou Kai's ability, they knew what happened.

The little girl was timid and trembled with fear.

The little boy was in a better situation. He wanted to comfort the little girl, but he had to divide even a complete sentence into several sentences before he could finish it.

"I'll go with you." Lin Yi frowned.

He was worried about Zhu Lai going alone.

Zhang Cheng looked back and thought that with Lin Yi following, there should be no big problem. In addition, he also wanted to see this underground palace, so he simply did not refuse.

Lin Yi was worried about Zhang Cheng being here alone. After all, he was not sure whether the villagers would come, so he asked Zhou Kai to accompany Zhang Cheng.

"If you want to follow, hurry up." Zhu Lai continued to urge.

"If it's too late, I'm afraid it will be too late."

For some reason, Lin Yi suddenly noticed that Zhu Lai's tone was mixed with a little excitement.

Perhaps it was because they could leave here soon.

Zhu Lai walked quickly towards the side hall holding the hands of the two children, followed closely by Lin Yi.

Zhang Cheng was not idle either, and wanted to record the appearance of this palace in the last time. After all, they would never see it again after leaving here.

"Zhou Kai, come and see, the craftsmanship of this carving is amazing!" Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and couldn't help wanting to touch the carvings on the wall of the palace.

"Don't run around." Zhou Kai grabbed Zhang Cheng and said seriously, "It's time now, and you still have the mood to care about these things."

Zhou Kai is different from Zhang Cheng. He has no interest in these things, so he naturally can't understand Zhang Cheng's excitement when he saw these.

But as he watched, Zhang Cheng seemed to feel something was wrong.

"Strange, where Lin Yi and others went was the side hall." Zhang Cheng looked back at the place where Lin Yi and others went.

He looked back at the main hall in front of him and wondered, "Why are they going to the side hall?"

"The imperial concubine is in the side hall, where else are they going if not to the side hall?" Zhou Kai disagreed.

"There are aliens locked up in the main hall. Are they going to go to the main hall and put themselves in the mouths of aliens?"

"No." Zhang Cheng's face became solemn.

"The ancients were different from us. They attached great importance to some cumbersome rules."

"If Zhu Lai's mother was a royal concubine, she would not agree to stay in the side hall. This is a self-depreciation and an insult to her identity."

Zhou Kai opened his mouth and was about to refute, but was beaten by Zhang Cheng.

"I know there are aliens imprisoned here, but according to the records in the book, the alien Huanhuan was brought here as the child of the imperial concubine. The emperor does not recognize this child, so this child has no identity, at least not the prince or the prince."

"A child without an identity cannot live in the palace, let alone be imprisoned in the main hall."

"This underground palace is so big, it's just an alien, why can't it be imprisoned anywhere else, why must it be imprisoned in the main hall?"

Zhang Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then said to Zhou Kai: "Quick, listen to see if there is anything in the main hall."

Zhou Kai shook his head. In fact, he had sensed the surroundings after entering here.

He didn't hear any sound coming from the main hall, but considering that Huanhuan's head and limbs were chopped off, and that it might be similar to Tai Sui, without a heart, and because it was still asleep, it was normal that there was no movement.

Zhang Cheng turned around and strode towards the main hall door.

"What are you doing?" Zhou Kai was startled when he saw Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to push the door open.

He wanted to stop him, but Zhang Cheng had already pushed the door open.

The door made a "creaking" sound when it was pushed open, and it was obvious that it had not been opened for a long time.

If the alien Huanhuan was imprisoned here, and the villagers would offer sacrifices every month, then this door would never make such a sound when it was opened.

The main hall was dark and nothing could be seen clearly.

However, with the help of enhanced vision, Zhou Kai, who rushed over, still vaguely saw something inside.

The hall was full of white silk, which fluttered slightly as the door opened.

In the center of the hall, there was a coffin, and far away from the coffin, there were many coffins parked.

"Why are there so many coffins here?" Zhou Kai frowned.

"Is the alien locked in one of the coffins?"

"No, that's not right!" Zhang Cheng seemed to have guessed something, and his face turned ugly.

"The one lying in the largest coffin in the middle should be the imperial concubine recorded in the book!"

"The other coffins are all buried with the imperial concubine!"

"What?!" Zhou Kai was stunned, "You mean... the imperial concubine is dead?"

"But, if the imperial concubine is dead, then who is Zhu Lai's mother?"

"Zhu Lai's mother..." Zhang Cheng looked up at the side hall and gritted his teeth, "His mother is Huanhuan!"
