At the spot where the young Black man had just collapsed, there were also the bodies of several explorers from the 1990s.

The guide, Ah Shun, then identified the body in front of him by a piece of clothing and a ring on his finger.

It was his father who had been missing for more than ten years!

"dad!"

The guide, Ashun, immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and wept bitterly.

It turns out that his father, ten years ago, also served as a guide, leading a group of people to explore the Eastern Emperor's Mausoleum.

In the end, he died in the inner palace, which was filled with gold and silver treasures, without the fortune to go out and enjoy them.

"Strange, how did these people die?"

Wu Xie examined the corpses and asked with a frown.

"Is that even a question? It must have been due to a dispute over the spoils, leading to infighting and ultimately no one being able to leave..."

"We agreed that whoever wants something can take it themselves."

"If all else fails, we'll split the spoils when we get out. Don't be like those guys who think about killing and looting; they all ended up kicking the bucket!"

Fatty Wang, busy collecting treasures, said with a look of disdain.

"My dad isn't the greedy kind of person!"

"He would never kill each other over the spoils!"

While carrying his father's remains on his back, the guide Ashun refuted Fatty Wang's words.

"There are no signs of a struggle here, it doesn't look like a case of fratricide, and the bodies are well-preserved, without any signs of insect or beast bites..."

Wu Xie then noticed something strange about the scene and shook his head.

"They still had all their belongings, but they had run out of food..."

"It looks like it starved to death..."

The experienced Ah Shun examined the other corpses and supplies around him and then asked in confusion.

"How could I possibly starve to death here? Even if I can't take the treasure, I shouldn't be unable to leave..."

"Creak—"

The fat man only said half of what he meant.

Suddenly, the group heard a noise, seemingly coming from the direction of the jade gate.

Wu Xie rushed over and was surprised to find that the stone carvings on the walls of the tomb passage he had come from had suddenly changed.

It's like someone temporarily changed the passage.

The passage seemed to end in a dead end.

"Get out of here quickly! It looks like someone is closing the tomb passage!"

Wu Xie shouted and quickly ran back towards the tomb passage he had come from.

Upon hearing this, the fat boy quickly slung his backpack over his shoulder and ran out with him.

However, as they ran...

What appeared before everyone was yet another jade door, and the door also bore the marks of being blasted by explosives.

Through the entrance to the Jade Gate Cave, several familiar-looking corpses were vaguely visible lying on the ground...

A somber accompaniment begins.

The eerie and somber atmosphere sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

"We...ran back again?"

"But I remember we didn't turn a single corner!"

Stepping back into the rear hall filled with jewels and jade, Wang Pangzi was stunned by the identical layout and corpses.

"Let's do it again. This time, the three of us will separate and mark the spots on the wall to make sure we're walking in a straight line!"

Unconvinced by the superstition, Wu Xie decided to venture out and explore the tomb passage once more.

The three of them picked up markers and walked along the tomb passage, drawing as they went, making sure they didn't leave any marks of turning.

Three long black lines were drawn straight down from the jade doorway of the rear hall.

Painting and painting.

A chilling scene has occurred again.

Before the three of them, the broken jade door from before appeared once again.

Wu Xie turned around and looked.

Behind me, three black lines stretched out from the very end of the alley without any bends.

"Could it be... a ghost wall?"

Wu Xie recalled a similar scene his third uncle had once described to him and blurted it out.

No wonder those explorers from the 1990s who stayed in the hall never left the tomb before they died.

They actually encountered a ghost wall and starved to death here!
