Lannatu Mountain is a place with many karst caves. Although the surface is somewhat barren, it must have been a beautiful place with clear waters and lush mountains many years ago.

Xu Qian withdrew his hand, and he could feel the damp moss in the crevice, indicating that there was no shortage of water here.

His gaze fell on the three people in front of him again. Judging from the information in their names, these three were just ordinary people. The only thing was... how did they know about Jiuyue?

And then there's that young man named Zuo Yu. Ever since he discovered this stone tablet, he's been staring at it intently. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was looking at some kind of flower. He's clearly very interested in the contents of the stone tablet.

It's impossible for Xu Qian not to be curious about this, but he didn't think these people would be honest with him, so why bother making a fool of himself?

Soon, thunder rumbled outside, and flickering light shone through the narrow crevice in the rock. It was by this light that the group gradually saw the general space of the cave—it was indeed not large, just as they had imagined. Rather than a temple, it was more like a place resembling an altar.

“This…” Zhao Changzhou suddenly noticed a corner hidden under the messy rocks. It was a broken stone corner with rounded edges and fine workmanship. Judging from the proportions, it shouldn’t be too small.

"Chen Zhang, can you hold this for me?" Zhao Changzhou handed the flashlight to the injured Chen Zhang behind him. He then took out his tools from his backpack.

Xu Qian looked at the outfits that the others had prepared, but didn't say anything. He just squatted down to the side, pretending that he was not there.

Soon, he dug out most of the stone corner. It was broken, about fifty centimeters long and ten centimeters in diameter. It was a 'big guy'.

Chen Zhang squinted one eye, but that single eye was extremely sharp. "...That's right, it's the Zhao family."

Zhao Changzhou turned to look at him, "You mean the Zhao clan of the Great Wei?"

"Besides them, is there another Zhao family member?"

Xu Qian overheard their conversation. He knew about the Great Wei Dynasty; he'd learned about it in history books. But which "zhao shi" was this? He hadn't learned it...

"I'll take a picture, you can zoom in." Zhao Changzhou immediately started rummaging through his bag again. Putting everything else aside, the bag he was carrying on his back looked like it was full of things.

Just then, another clap of thunder sounded outside, illuminating the cave even brighter. The previously rustling sound inside the cave was now filled with hiccuping noises, one after another.

"Drink some water, why are you hiccuping?" Zhao Changzhou said while taking pictures.

"It wasn't me," Chen Zhang retorted instinctively.

Xu Qian turned to the fourth person—Zuo Yu. Their eyes met unexpectedly, and they both paused in surprise because neither of them had burped.

No... then where did this sound come from...?

Chen Zhang and Zhao Changzhou, who had been speaking earlier, also realized something, and the four of them looked at each other again.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and their breathing became increasingly slow...

Xu Qian heard the hiccup sound again, this time more rhythmic than he had imagined. He tried to pinpoint the source of the sound, and as he listened, something felt off, because the sound seemed to be coming from underground...

The four of them turned their gaze downwards, and whether it was their imagination or not, the ground seemed to shake slightly...
