"Do you think this lamp looks familiar?" Chen Ze pointed at the lamp.

The fat man got closer and took a look, and was instantly terrified, "Oh my god, please stop teasing me, okay? Will-o'-the-wisp?!"

Chen Ze slapped the fat man on the head, "What do you mean by will-o'-the-wisp? It's a light, right? It's an oil lamp!"

The fat man rubbed his head and said aggrievedly: "I have never seen a light, so I don't know!" Chen Ze was too lazy to explain and continued: "Look carefully, this oil lamp is right in front of us."

The fat man stared at the oil lamp for a long time before he could see it clearly. "Oh my god, it's so beautiful, just like a candle."

Chen Ze: "Look carefully, is this an oil lamp? This is a lotus, a lotus stand, look at its base."

Chen Ze demonstrated the lotus pose, and the fat man followed Chen Ze's example, putting his hands on the lotus to feel the temperature, and said, "It's still quite warm."

Chen Ze: "..."

Chen Ze didn't want to dwell on such details, so he skipped over it. "Where was I just now? Oh, right, this is the 'formation' I was talking about, but I don't quite understand it!"

The fat man fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a long while he said, "If this is the formation diagram, then this formation is a maze."

"Yes, this formation should be a maze, but now that we have entered the maze, there are many traps here."

Fatty: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Chen Ze: "Look, this lotus is a beginning. According to normal logic, this should be a dead end. The greater the difficulty, the greater the opportunity. Therefore, this lotus represents a way out!"

Fatty: "You mean, the mechanisms here are all on this lotus?" Chen Ze: "That's about it. Look carefully at this lotus. There is a lotus lamp every three steps, but all the lamps are off, and they are all gathered towards the center of the lotus!
We just need to follow this clue and shine the lights along the way, then we can find the location of the mechanism and leave here."

After hearing what Chen Ze said, the fat man suddenly realized: "No wonder you are looking for lights, these lights are to remind us that we must find the exit first!"

"Well, so, let's go quickly. I'm afraid that if we delay for too long, the exit will be discovered by others. This formation is not easy to break through, especially the stone lion at the center of the formation. Its strength is comparable to that of martial arts masters, and it is not afraid of pain. I tried it, and the power of this stone lion was enough to tear me to pieces, so I suspect that these stone lions all have martial arts skills!" said Chen Ze.

The fat man swallowed his saliva and said, "Fuck, you are worthy of being my brother, awesome! Let's go!"

"Wait, don't be so aggressive. Have you forgotten that there is a person lying here who hasn't woken up yet?" Chen Ze reminded.

The fat man looked down at Chen Zhuo who was lying in a pool of blood, "Oh!" the fat man exclaimed, because Chen Zhuo had completely fainted, and even spit out a mouthful of white foam, obviously fainted.

"You didn't mean to let him stay here?" the fat man asked suspiciously.

"Am I that kind of person? How can I take him out if he's dead? Besides, we're here to save him." Chen Ze said.

"Now that he's in this condition, there's no need for us to save him. He won't die anyway!" said the fat man.

Chen Ze: "Then are you going to leave or not?"

"Go, go, go!" The fat man got scared.

Then the two began to look for a way out in the secret room. Chen Ze also tried various ways to turn on the lights, but the lights were still off. It seemed that Chen Ze was wrong.

The fat man whispered in Chen Ze's ear: "Do you think this is a fake tomb?"

"No matter whether it is a fake tomb or not, we have to proceed to the next round anyway. Since we have made the choice, we should not retreat!" Chen Ze said.

The two encountered various mechanisms along the way. There were so many mechanisms in here that the slightest negligence would lead to eternal damnation. This was considered Chen Ze's great luck as he actually encountered a mechanism that was not dangerous and it was a one-time teleportation mechanism.

However, even without this teleportation mechanism, Chen Ze could still pass through it smoothly.

With the help of the mechanism, Chen Ze and his companions reached the end of the secret room without any obstruction.

At the end was a stone door, which Chen Ze pushed open easily. "I'm finally out. I'm so tired."

The fat man collapsed to the ground.

"What are you doing? Get up, we have to hurry to rescue Li Shiqing and the others!" Chen Ze urged.

"No, go by yourself. I'll take a rest for a while." The fat man looked like he had lost all hope. Chen Ze: "Didn't I tell you that if you don't go to save Li Shiqing and the others, I'll go by myself. I don't need your help."

"Hey, don't get excited. Can't I go?" The fat man got up helplessly.

The fat man looked at Chen Ze with resentment, but Chen Ze ignored him and walked forward. The fat man hurriedly followed.

Chen Ze is in front and the fat man is behind.

After walking for a distance, Chen Ze found that there was no road ahead.

Chen Ze stopped and turned to look at the fat man: "There is no road ahead, what should we do?"

The fat man was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that the road ahead was gone.

Chen Ze suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, we can walk on the ground. This is not only safer, but also faster."

Chen Ze immediately started running. The fat man was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted and quickly chased after him. Chen Ze was very fast and surpassed the fat man in less than 10 seconds.

"Slow down, wait for me!" said the fat man.

Chen Ze did not answer, because this passage was not straight, and Chen Ze estimated that he would have to walk more than 20 meters before reaching the exit.

Chen Ze jogged while checking the wall with a flashlight.

When Chen Ze walked along the 20-meter-long corridor, he saw a tightly closed stone door and said, "This is it!" Chen Ze stopped.

"Where is this?" The fat man followed Chen Ze out and was also confused when he saw the scene in front of him.

Chen Ze was also puzzled, "Where is this?"

Chen Ze looked around and found that he and the fat man were standing in a circular square. There were many stone sculptures around the square, and these stone sculptures were lifelike.

The square was empty except for the stone sculptures. There was nothing on it. Only Chen Ze and the fat man were standing in the square.

"Are you sure this is the core of the tomb?" asked the fat man.

"I'm not sure, but there must be something strange. Pay attention to your surroundings and see if there are any strange mechanisms." Chen Ze reminded.

The fat man nodded and looked around with a flashlight.

Just when the two were at a loss, the fat man suddenly said excitedly: "I saw it, that person is there, he is still alive."

The fat man pointed to the bottom of the stone pillar on the left side of the square.

Chen Ze looked in the direction of the sound and found that Chen Zhuo was really lying on the ground.

"Let's go!" Chen Ze said anxiously. After all, Chen Zhuo was still alive, which meant they could still get out.

Chen Ze and the fat man hurriedly ran under the stone pillar.

When they ran closer, they saw that although Chen Zhuo was not dead, he was seriously injured and there was an arrow stuck in his chest.

"Can you hold on?" Chen Ze squatted down and asked.

"I'm fine!" Chen Zhuo said with a forced smile.

"Okay, let's go!" Chen Ze helped Chen Zhuo up and continued walking forward.

Chen Ze and the fat man passed through the stone sculptures and came to an arch bridge. The arch bridge was very simple and made of wood, but it was covered with moss and the bridge surface was also very smooth.

"Why is there a bridge in this place?" Fatty asked in confusion. (End of this chapter)
