Black Hand Lu Gang's voice was calm and steady: "Where is the cultivator? Didn't he attack you?"
"He seems to be able to possess zombies and use mind-based magic to attack, but there also seems to be a limitation: he can't leave the tunnel to hunt us down."
"It's also possible that there's something wrong with the ruins we're in now."
Zhang Taoying added at this point: "I suspect that he is trying to drive us somewhere, like... like using us as guinea pigs, as cannon fodder for exploring ruins..."
Dao Nan also spoke up, "The High Priest is still alive, but in extremely poor condition. He is currently unconscious and out of immediate danger, but if this drags on..."
The candle remained silent for a while, as if digesting its words or weighing something.
Zhang Taoying grew anxious and said, "Lord Black Hand, please don't let that evil person succeed! There must be treasures in the ruins that would tempt someone like him, otherwise he wouldn't have gone to such lengths."
Chen Jing watched their report from the side. Dao Nan and Zhang Taoying both seemed worried that the black hand Lu Gang would abandon them, so one suggested that the core members were in mortal danger, while the other offered them bribes.
Only He Lili seemed unaware of that possibility, and her objective and neutral narrative... was a bit academic?

Lu Gang of Black Hand continued, "You can report to me on the situation inside the ruins... We will first scout the dungeon and confirm that the cultivator is a defeatable enemy before we provide support. It's not that we're abandoning you; our Black Hand gang will not easily abandon any member!"
If it weren't for the fact that the aura of a Qi Realm warrior wouldn't have spread this far, Chen Jing suspected that after listening to this speech, he should have been filled with excitement and tears.
“Yes! Lord Black Hand, I swear to serve the gang to the death!” Zhang Taoying said hurriedly.
“You can tell me the specifics of the ruins. Tell me anything you see that you think is valuable. There may be hidden paths or dangers inside. I have gathered Mr. Mo and others here, and they can help you point them out.”
The group exchanged glances before Zhang Taoying spoke up: "There's a stone tablet in the ruins with four paintings engraved on it. Do you know what they are?"
Next, she described the paintings on the obelisk.
