Chapter 300 Ultimate Notes Zhang Qiling 33
The scouts returned and reported that they had discovered a spiral staircase ahead, so Zhang Haixuan and the others went over there.
As they descended the stairs, one of the workers suddenly screamed, "What is that?!"
"Don't panic!" Fatty Wang quickly reprimanded and calmed everyone, then used the flashlight beam to look in that direction.
In mid-air, several iron chains wrapped around animal fur were slowly rotating.
"Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden? You're making a fuss over nothing. It's just animal skin."
"Why...why is it covered with animal hide?" The shopkeeper looked at Fatty Wang with a puzzled expression.
"Why..." Fatty Wang paused. How would he know why? He turned to Zhang Qiling and asked in a low voice, "Brother, why?"
Zhang Qiling glanced at him but remained silent.
Fatty Wang pursed his lips, looking somewhat embarrassed.
Just then, Zhang Haixuan, who was standing next to Zhang Qiling, peeked at him, and he blinked, pleading, "Why?"
"Bleeding."
"Bloodletting?" Huo Xiuxiu shone her flashlight on the iron plate with symbols engraved on it, which was located under the animal hide.
"So you told Xiao..." Huo Xiuxiu's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly changed her words, "Those animal blood bags I prepared were used here?"
"Hmm, this is it."
Zhang Haixuan walked down the last step and stood in front of the iron plate, and the others quickly followed.
Fatty Wang instructed, "Xiuxiu, take a picture and send it to Mount Siguniang."
"Oh." Huo Xiuxiu took out her camera to take pictures.
Fatty Wang looked at the grooves around his head and said, "This is a blood-drawing groove."
Zhang Qiling squatted down and pressed the stone plate. The iron plate shook slightly. He raised his hand that had touched the iron plate and smelled it. A putrid, bloody smell wafted out.
Zhang Qiling frowned, looked up at Huo Xiuxiu and said, "Blood bag."
"Huh?" Huo Xiuxiu, who was looking at the photos, was stunned for a moment, then looked at her partner and said, "Take out all the blood bags."
The man carrying the blood bags took them out of his backpack and walked over to Zhang Qiling.
Fatty Wang tapped the iron plate with his left hand, listening to the sound it made. "It's empty. There should be a mechanism underneath. You need blood to open the door."
Fatty Wang looked at the men holding the blood bags and said, "Open the blood bags and pour them into the ditch."
The man did as instructed, opening the blood bag and pouring it onto the iron plate. After a few minutes, the iron plate made a creaking sound and rose up. Everyone quickly stepped back to watch the iron plate rise.
"Let's go." The iron plate stopped rising, and Zhang Qiling led everyone to look at what was underneath it.
Below was complete darkness. From the pillar beneath the iron plate, thinner iron posts extended out, clearly for people to climb.
"Get down."
Zhang Qiling pulled Zhang Haixuan, who was about to go down first, and entered the passage himself.
Zhang Haixuan followed behind helplessly, complaining, "What kind of family pavers pave the way themselves?"
"Yours."
Zhang Haixuan pursed her lips and said, "Heh, that's true, my dear clan leader, this habit is not good."
Wang Pangzi, who had landed back on the ground, patted his dusty hands and said with a smile:
"Haixuan, this young man is reluctant to let you lead the way. How can a girl like you, especially the Zhang family's darling, be at the forefront? Let this young man come with us."
Zhang Haixuan rolled her eyes and looked at Zhang Qiling, who was observing their surroundings, and said, "Let's take a break and continue later."
Zhang Qiling walked to Zhang Haixuan's side and asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
“I’m not tired, they are.” Zhang Haixuan raised her chin, gesturing to the workers who had already sat down to rest.
"Um."
Zhang Qiling nodded and sat on the rock next to him, while Zhang Haixuan jumped up and sat on the rock behind her.
