As usual, Zhuang Sen tied the safety rope and went down first. Once he could confirm that it was safe, he would let the others go down.
However, after Zhuang Sen went down using the rope and holding a torch, he pulled the rope again.
Ma Yue’s expression froze, but he still pulled Zhuang Sen up first.
As soon as Zhuang Sen came back up, he panted and said, “Someone has been here.”
Hearing that, everyone’s expression changed. If someone already entered the tomb, then they would have ransacked everything valuable. They could only take the leftovers.
“Are you sure?” Ma Yue was shocked and uncertain, but he still did not give up.
“At the entrance of the tomb… someone dead.” Zhuang Sen swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
“How did he die?”
“His hand was broken, must have been injured by some mechanism. The fatal wound was on his neck. His blood was sucked dry. He must have been bitten by a zombie.”
There were already zombies here? Yun Qin was immediately shocked. Her expression was the same as Ma Yue’s.
The others were shocked by other aspects of the situation. Ma Yue asked in surprise, “How could a member of the Qin family be bitten to death by a zombie?”
Zhuang Sen, the only other person in the group who knew about the Qin family’s background shook his head in confusion.
“Captain Ma, since the group of people you mentioned arrived before us, should we still go down?” Fatty asked while touching his neck.
“Yes. Although they arrived first, they might not be able to enter the main tomb.” Ma Yue was afraid, but he still decided to go down.
“A zombie that even the Qin family couldn’t handle, why should we go in and join the fun?” Zhuang Sen frowned and still wanted to leave.
However, this time, other than the hesitant Fatty, still no one paid attention to him.
“Min Min, let’s go. We can’t do this job.” Zhuang Sen saw Hu Min’s unusual expression, so he pulled her arm and tried to persuade her.
“I want to go!” Hu Min suddenly shook off his hand and reacted. Her tone softened as she said, “We’ve already come this far. I don’t want to give up.”
Even a fool could see that Hu Min and Ma Yue were determined to enter the tomb. Zhuang Sen’s expression turned cold as he asked, “All of you are determined to go in like crazy. What are you trying to get?”
Seeing that Hu Min did not speak, Zhuang Sen stared at Ma Yue and said, “You only said that there were treasures in this tomb and asked us to help you. Now we’re about to go against the Qin family, yet you are still not willing to let go. What exactly is in there?”
When Fatty heard this, he also sensed that something was wrong. He chimed in, “That’s right. What treasure is so valuable? It can’t be more valuable than our lives, right? What are you guys hiding from us?”
Ma Yue and Hu Min both frowned. Their eyes were darting as if they were plotting something.
Zhuang Sen was anxious. He pushed Hu Min again and asked, “Min Min, tell me. What are you hiding from me?”
“Haha, since they are not willing to you, then I will.”
Suddenly, Luo Hui, who had been silent this whole time, let out a strange laugh. He said in his hoarse voice, “There is no treasure inside, just something that can let you live forever.”
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Ma Yue’s hand and he pounced towards Luo Hui.
Luo Hui was prepared. He took a step back and let his sister Luo Ke block him. The sharp dagger pierced into Luo Ke’s skin, but she did not make a sound.
Everyone was shocked. Zhuang Sen took a step forward but didn’t know whether he should save Luo Ke or Ma Yue.
Just as everyone was stunned, Ma Yue jumped into the cave. After a few thuds, he disappeared without a trace.
“What the…” Fatty cursed. He was also dumbfounded.
They quickly looked at Luo Ke who was stabbed. However, Luo Hui did not look worried at all.
Hu Min took a look and her expression changed instantly. She stammered, “She, she’s not bleeding!”
Even so, Luo Hui still had an indifferent expression on his face, as if this was nothing to be surprised about.
“She’s a zombie,” Yun Qin, who watched how Ma Yue’s attitude suddenly changed, couldn’t help but say.
Luo Hui glanced at her and grinned.
“A zombie?” Zhuang Sen repeated and asked again, “Aren’t you from the Xie Ling clan? How can you raise a zombie?”
“Hehe, no one said that I’m not allowed to, right?” Luo Hui laughed dryly, but his expression did not change.
Looking at the zombie, Luo Ke, who was standing there in a daze, Fatty could not help but urge, “What allows you to live forever? Explain!”
“You don’t even know yet you dare to get involved in this mess?” Luo Hui said hoarsely. Then glanced around the crowd and his gaze locked onto Hu Min.
He raised his chin and said ambiguously, “However, this woman seems to know everything.”
Suddenly being called out, Hu min panicked and retorted, “What do I know? Don’t talk nonsense!”
