Hey!Your patron saint of the underworld has been revealed!

"Since it wants to carry it, let it carry it."

Qiu Zhuo glanced at the giant capybara, reached out and took off the Buddha statue from his neck, and hung it on Shi Erruo, "I don't know what is in the tomb. You put this on, just in case."

"it is good."

The moment the jade Buddha statue touched his skin, Shi Erruo realized that his whole body was feeling hot.

So, the two people and a capybara slowly approached the opened bronze door.

Shi Erruo patted the giant capybara's head and motioned it to go to the stone pillar.

"Quick, let's take out the Night Pearl."

"No, I'll get it." Qiu Zhuo quickly walked to the stone pillar and took out the luminous pearl inside.

Relying on the light emitted by the night pearl, the road leading to the back of the bronze tomb door appeared faintly in front of them.

Qiu Zhuo held up the bead to clear the way in front, looking back from time to time, always paying attention to Shi Erruo's situation.

Seeing Qiu Zhuo multitasking, Shi Erruo said helplessly: "You don't have to worry about me, the capybara and I will catch up."

With Shi Erruo's advice, Qiu Zhuo looked back less frequently.

There seems to be nothing behind the bronze door except a long stone corridor.

The area illuminated by the luminous pearl is limited, and it is impossible to see clearly what is at the end of the corridor.

"Click--!"

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the silent corridor, where every movement made a sound, as if something was broken.

Qiu Zhuo's body swayed for a moment and then stopped.

"What's wrong?" Shi Erruo asked with concern, feeling a little uneasy.

"I think I stepped on something?" Qiu Zhuo told Shi Erruo, "Stay back."

Then, he squatted down and brought Ye Mingzhu close to the ground, trying to see what he had stepped on.

Through the faint light of the night pearl, Shi Erruo vaguely saw a humanoid skeleton piled in front of the corridor.

"You seem to have stepped on the toe bones of the remains."

Shi Erruo leaned on the back of the giant capybara and reached for the broken bones scattered on the ground.

Qiu Zhuo quickly leaned on the ground and took one and handed it to her, "These are human bones. Someone died in the corridor, but it seems that they were not trapped to death, but were fatally injured."

The environment in the corridor was gloomy and damp, and the corpse had turned black.

Shi Erruo looked at the bones in his hands and asked Qiu Zhuo, "How did he die?"

Qiu Zhuo was shining his luminous pearl on the wreckage from top to bottom, trying to find some clues.

"There was a dent on his head, as if someone had hit the back of the head with a blunt instrument, and his left wrist was also fractured. It seemed that he had been involved in a fight before his death."

"Who would fight with others in a tomb, and why?" Shi Erruo asked in confusion.

"It may be that the tomb robber got into a dispute over the uneven distribution of the spoils, or maybe he encountered a trap ahead and insisted on walking to the corridor after escaping, but eventually died."

Qiu Zhuo frowned and used the night pearl to illuminate the road ahead of the corridor, becoming even more worried.

Shi Erruo seemed to sense Qiu Zhuo's uneasiness, and stretched out his hand to hold Qiu Zhuo's hand, "Keep moving forward, you have to leave after all."

Qiu Zhuo nodded in the dim light.Just as Shi Erruo was about to let go of his hand, he held it back and tightened his grip, "I don't know what's ahead. I'm afraid of getting separated."

"Yeah." Shi Erruo understood what he meant and just held it.

"Eww~~Eww~~" Seeing this, the giant capybara moved a few centimeters closer to Qiu Zhuo.

"Shh-!"

Shi Erruo touched the head of the giant capybara with his other hand, soothed it and kept it quiet.

The two of them walked around the wreckage and continued to walk deeper into the corridor. Soon, they came to a room made of bricks and stones. It was empty and seemed to contain nothing.

"There seems to be no exit from this place, how should we get out?"

Shi Erruo coughed after speaking, and she felt her voice was a little hoarse.

Qiu Zhuo heard her voice, squatted down and touched her forehead, "Are you a little cold? If you have a fever, your back will feel cold."

"Ah."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Shi Erruo was indeed feeling very uncomfortable at this time.

Qiu Zhuo let go of his hand, took off the outermost piece of clothing, and put it on Shi Erruo, "After so long, the outer clothing has been dried. Although it is a bit dirty, it can keep warm."

Shi Erruo tightened Qiu Zhuo's clothes and trembled from time to time.

As a human being, Shi Erruo's original physical fitness was not very good. Even with the improvement of Rakshasa genes, the time was too short and he still could not withstand the erosion of the cold swamp.

"Don't worry, since you have entered the tomb, there will be an exit. It's just hidden somewhere. I will find it."

Shi Erruo nodded and lay down on the back of the giant capybara. She had been injured by swords before, and it would only hurt, because Rakshasa did not have fever like humans, and would still feel dizzy after being burned. There is no strength in my body.

She vowed that after going out, she must actively exercise to improve the physical fitness of this skin.

At this moment, she suddenly noticed that the giant capybara seemed to be moving forward. Although it soon stopped moving, it started moving again after a while.

"what happened?"

She opened her eyes drowsily, looked around, and found that the giant capybara was still in the same place.

With doubts, Shi Erruo forced himself to observe for a while, and found that the place where the giant capybara's abdomen contacted the ground would slide backwards at an extremely slow speed, so it would take two steps forward from time to time.

Could it be that the floor of this room is not flat, but sloped?

"Qiu Zhuo." Shi Erruo shouted in a hoarse voice, "Come here."

Qiu Zhuo was groping for the wall in the room, trying to find the mechanism to open the door. When he heard Shi Erruo calling him, he immediately ran over and asked, "What's wrong?"

He thought Shi Erruo's physical condition was not good again.

"I'm fine. I discovered a problem with the ground. It seems to be sloping. It keeps sloping upward from the entrance to the opposite side, but the amplitude is very small, so we didn't find it."

Qiu Zhuo squatted down, felt it carefully, nodded and said, "It seems like this, the ground is sloped."

He looked back at the corridor connected to the entrance and analyzed, "Then it is very possible that the long corridor just now is also sloping upward, and we have been going up."

Shi Erruo stood up from the back of the giant capybara and expressed his guess, "Maybe the entrance is not on the wall, but on the ground. We have been going up, which means there must be a lot of space below. , we may have entered a secret passage, and the real tomb is below."

Qiu Zhuo touched the ground, frowned and said, "I just saw a pattern on three walls, which is a swastika pattern. Logically speaking, there should be one on the last side, but that place is the entrance for us to enter this room, and there is no mark that can be engraved on it. Where the swastikas are.”
