Looking at the broken rope in his hand, the old man was shocked and confused.

‘What’s going on? Why did he cut the rope?’

Looking at the dark hole in front of me, it was like a gate to hell, trying to devour one life after another.

After staying at the entrance of the cave for a while, no sound came from there. The old man waited for a while, but there was still no news. He simply shouted to the entrance of the cave, "Zuo Qingcang, are you still here? If you hear something, please reply to me."

There was no response in the dark hole, only the old man's voice kept echoing back and forth in the hole.

The old man shouted a few more times, but no matter how he shouted, Zuo Qingcang did not respond. It was as if he had completely disappeared into this thief hole.

"What's going on with this guy? There was no signal to be made, and he wouldn't answer." Although he knew that Zuo Qingcang's calmness must have been a last resort, he had never received a response from the other party, which still filled the old man's heart with anxiety.

A few minutes later, after gritting his teeth, the old man simply tied the other end of the rope to the stone statue and walked towards the thief hole underground.

"Damn it, fight." He also knew the current situation. The entire ancient tomb was already a Jedi. Apart from fighting desperately, he and Zuo Qingcang had no way out.

The old man pulled the rope on his arm, took a deep breath, and drilled down the hole. The dark-looking hole was actually not deep. No, it should be said that his vertical height was not high, only one or two meters away from the ground, because like the previous hole No. 2, its first half was a horizontal route.

However, unlike the No. 2 thief, the No. 1 thief route is more tortuous. He turns around instead of the previous No. 2 thief, at least in the horizontal part of the route.

The old man stroked the cold soil, and then the faint light of Ye Mingzhu crawled into the depths of the thief hole bit by bit. But Ye Mingzhu was just Night Pearl after all, and the range of light was very limited. Starting from about one meter in front and behind the old man, both ends of the passage had been swallowed by darkness.

In this environment, it is true darkness without any trace of light. The old man's heartbeat can't help but keep getting heavier and his breathing becomes heavier.

At first, he planned to shout Zuo Qingcang's name in the thief hole. But the pressure brought by the invisible darkness was like the coldness from Jiuyou, tightly squeezing his heart, making him afraid to yell in this darkness at all.

A few minutes later, a ray of light finally appeared in front of the old man, and he immediately accelerated and ran towards the light.

What he didn't notice was that unlike the previous No. 2 thief hole, after the horizontal passage passed, the No. 1 thief hole was dug not like above but like below.

In other words, the No. 1 thief cave leads to the lower level of the ancient tomb.

The old man finally climbed to the entrance of the thief hole. There was a stone chamber outside, and the thief hole opened in the stone chamber. The connection between the wall and the roof led horizontally to the stone chamber.

The lights in the stone chamber were brightly lit, dyeing the whole room a golden color. It was the eternal light on the eaves that were legendary for thousands of years, releasing light and heat. The fire he saw in the thief cave just now was obviously from this.

In the three directions of the room, the old man saw three deep passages shrouded in darkness.

But these were not what attracted his attention the most. What attracted his attention the most now was Zuo Qingcang's tall figure in the passage in the middle. When he saw the old man's eyes look over, the other party immediately made a gesture of silence, forcing the old man back what he wanted to say.

‘What’s wrong?’ Then Zuo Qingcang pointed to the ground in the hall. At first glance, the old man had nothing, but after he looked at it for a while, his face changed drastically, and he felt a cold air slowly emerge from his back.

He observed carefully and found that a layer of transparent liquid on the ground of the stone chamber covered the entire stone chamber. Through the comparison between the wall and the ground, this layer of mucus was at least more than half a meter thick.

‘Corpse monster…’ Through Zuo Qingcang’s mouth shape, he confirmed this judgment. At present, the floor in the stone chamber was an extremely huge corpse monster covering the ground of dozens of square meters.

This is exactly why Zuo Qingcang did not speak loudly.

In fact, because the corpse monster was almost completely transparent, when Zuo Qingcang entered the stone chamber, he was attacked by the other party. He tried to catch him and wrapped him in transparent mucus. The two kept struggling with each other's feet. This was the reason why the old man felt the rope being dragged with force.

Fortunately, Zuo Qingcang's strength increased greatly at this time. With his powerful muscle strength and explosive power, he actually tried his best to break free from the corpse monster's shackles. At the same time, in order to escape, he directly cut off the rope and escaped into the passage. After he entered the passage, the corpse monster did not chase him again.

However, this also made him lose contact with the old man. In his guess, the old man had two possibilities to leave and enter to find him. So he decided to wait here for half an hour. If the old man had not come in half an hour, he would go deep into the passage alone.

During this period, he also carefully observed the corpse monster in front of him.

‘The transparent body seems to be because all the food in the body is absorbed and decomposed.’

‘And looking at the appearance of this corpse monster and the state he attacked me just now, was it because of insufficient food and fell into a dormant state?’

Zuo Qingcang tempted a few times and found that as long as he did not touch the huge corpse monster and did not make loud noises, the corpse monster would not attack him. He suspected that the corpse monster had fallen into a state of dormant. The attack he was initially probably was just an instinct. Maybe this corpse monster was extremely weak and could not defeat Zuo Qingcang.

However, Zuo Qingcang did not experiment with this. As long as you know that you don’t get close to him and don’t make any sounds on your own, the corpse monster will not attack him. After all, this is not a game. Even if you can kill this corpse monster, Zuo Qingcang has no benefit at all. Instead, you have to risk the corpse monster’s possibility of awakening from dormancy.

If he is really dormant, then judging from the strength of his feet just now and Zuo Qingcang, once he wakes up, he will use all his strength. With this huge body size, it is definitely not something Zuo Qingcang can deal with at will.

Just as Zuo Qingcang was thinking this, it was the old man who climbed to the entrance of the thief hole. After making a silence move to stop the old man from making a sound, Zuo Qingcang prompted him to look at the ground.
