The two people who had already entered the cave-like tomb passage ran out for a long distance until they were out of the tomb passage and entered a square tomb room that seemed to have no exit. Only then did they stop.

"It seems... it seems that they are not chasing me anymore." Wu Xie bent down, supported his hands on his knees and breathed heavily.

Although Fatty Wang looks like an inflated ball, he is the most agile fat man in the tomb-raiding world. His physical strength is much better than Wu Xie, who has not received any training since childhood.

Even though he ran such a long distance, Fatty Wang didn't pant like Wu Xie, like an old cow. He was even able to remain calm and tell him about his discovery.

"Did you hear any noise before the riot in that Zongzi nest?"

Wu Xie looked at Fatty Wang with a puzzled look on his face. He didn't really understand what he was saying. After all, he was only focused on studying the wall of rice dumplings just now. He had no idea what was going on there.

But Fatty Wang was much more confident: "I can guarantee that there must be someone behind that Zongzi nest who is controlling these ghosts, and the purpose is to lead us to this place."

“What did you hear?” Although Wu Xie felt that what Fatty Wang said was correct, he was standing much closer than Fatty Wang at that time, so why didn’t he hear anything…

Fatty Wang knew from Wu Xie's confused expression that he definitely didn't hear anything just now. He even looked more anxious than Wu Xie when he explained: "It was just a whistle. I couldn't hear it clearly because of the wall, but it was probably a whistle. There can't be a corpse chaser behind him... the kind with a bell."

Wu Xie originally thought that what Fatty Wang said made some sense, but the more he listened, the more outrageous it became. He quickly called out to stop them: "Wait, wait, the corpse drivers use bells, you are talking about whistles."

"Moreover, the corpse driver was walking in front holding a bell. The corpse looked like it was jumping around, but in fact, its internal organs were hollowed out and strung on a bamboo pole. How could it be possible for him to control the corpse? It's all just people's imagination."

Fatty Wang admired Wu Xie for being able to stick to his materialistic ideas despite having experienced so many bizarre things. He was able to explain things that seemed beyond people's cognition from a very tricky scientific perspective.

Being able to do this, it can only be said that you deserve to be the focus of those people's attention.

Fatty Wang did not say the rest of the words. He just smiled and chose not to argue with Wu Xie about the corpse driver. He knew that unless the corpse driver really appeared in front of him, Wu Xie, who had received higher education, would definitely not believe it.

Now they just need to find out why the person in the tomb wants them to come here. Everything else is not something they can solve now.

"Let's first take a look at where this place is. We might as well not fall into the prepared trap without paying attention. Wouldn't that ruin everything?" Fatty Wang came over and helped the half-dead Wu Xie up, and spoke at the same time.

Wu Xie also understood that now was not the time to discuss this. If he found some clues, he might be able to find the person behind this.

Both of them are action-oriented. After resting for such a long time, even Wu Xie, who was out of breath just now, has recovered a lot of strength.

The two men carefully surrounded the tomb and began to search for other secret passages and mechanisms.

Just by searching like this, they actually found some clues.

"Come here, this way!" Wu Xie looked at the familiar-looking symbol in front of him and quickly called Fatty Wang over.

Fatty Wang trotted over to Wu Xie and looked in the direction Wu Xie pointed.

A nine-tailed fox totem that was extremely similar to the tattoo on Zhang Qiling appeared nakedly in front of the two of them.

"This..." Even Fatty Wang was looking at the totem in front of him with an embarrassed look on his face.

They had just solved the information of a snake-browed bronze fish in Yunding Tianguan, and they didn’t even understand the Qilin tattoo on the young man’s body, and now a nine-tailed fox totem appeared.

It seems that Zhang Qiling's family is not the only one involved. But what is this nine-tailed totem?

Wu Xie stared at the totem without saying anything for a long time, and his eyes didn't even move.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Wu Xie reached out and covered the lower half of the totem, leaving only the upper half: "Look."

Fatty Wang looked at it for a long time without knowing what Wu Xie wanted him to see.

Wu Xie didn't look away. Even though he and Fatty Wang were the only ones in the place, he lowered his voice and explained, "I've seen this totem before."

This sentence made Fatty Wang's originally confused look less confused. If Wu Xie had seen it, then their trip might really be related to the Nine Gates. It seems that the person controlling the corpse behind them is from the Nine Gates.

Wu Xie continued, "In Changbai Mountain, I went to look for Zhang Qiling that day. Cheng Ji was probably afraid that I would see him, so he squatted in the water. I actually saw him. The water in that hot spring was very clear, and I saw the exact same pattern on his back."

"Are you sure it's this?"

Wu Xie nodded.

Can't go wrong.

At that time, because the tattoo on Cheng Ji's body was very similar to Zhang Qiling's, he took a careful look at Cheng Ji's back. It was exactly the same as this one, but the one on the boy's back seemed to have color, while this one was pure black.

It seems that this place has something to do with Cheng Ji.

Fatty Wang looked at Wu Xie and asked, "If this place is related to Cheng Ji, should we continue?"

If this is related to Cheng Ji, then even if Wu Xie doesn't care, it won't affect what happens later. In his opinion, Zhang Qiling is a friend, but Cheng Ji is not.

Could it be that he approached Wu Xie with a purpose because of this?

Now they are already tired enough carrying the Nine Gates on their shoulders, and on top of that they have to bear the secret of Zhang Qiling.

He was already somewhat overwhelmed, and Wu Xie already knew that Cheng Ji was not his second uncle's child at all, and that he had his own agenda. So whether or not to continue was a choice that Fatty Wang threw to Wu Xie.
