The relief sculpture above is cut into a nine-square grid.

This is their first door.

They just posted the photos and are waiting for Su Mo and Wu Xie's reply.

Xiuxiu, Lao Hu, Zhang Yingchuan and a group of others were sitting on the ground resting, while Wang Yue was leaning against Zhang Qiling and fast asleep.

Zhang Qiling, however, remained awake, lost in thought and silent; no one knew what he was thinking.

However, he didn't look well, as if he was worried about something.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiling heard light footsteps and looked behind him. It was the entrance to the cave, the place where they had come in.

Zhang Qiling immediately picked up his black gold ancient sword and turned around to look.

He was too late; he only saw a dark figure disappear into the darkness a second before he arrived.

"What's wrong, buddy?"

Wang Yueban, who was sleeping against Zhang Qiling, was thrown to the side by Zhang Qiling's sudden getting up. He blinked, wondering what unexpected turn of events had occurred, and quickly stood up, looking around warily.

Zhang Qiling's expression was grim. "Besides us, there are others here!"

Chapter 458: Two Zhang Qilings

Zhang Qiling's expression was grim. "Besides us, there are others here!"

Who, who, who?

Wang Yueban looked around, her small eyes wide open. "Who else would come to this godforsaken place besides us? You must be mistaken..."

Old Hu pondered for a while and immediately sensed something amiss, saying, "Apart from Miluotuo, we haven't encountered any real danger along the way, so we can't let our guard down!"

As a member of the tomb raiding team, Lao Hu dared not be careless even in the smallest tomb. In addition, with Su Mo absent this time, he and Zhang Qiling were the backbone of the team, bearing the safety of everyone's lives on their shoulders.

Zhang Qiling had just sheathed his sword when he caught a glimpse of a dark figure out of the corner of his eye. "He's here again..."

The shadowy figure reappeared, and this time Zhang Qiling flipped over with a "whoosh".

The shadowy figure turned and ran, swiftly and decisively!

However, Zhang Qiling did not give up this time and relentlessly pursued the shadowy figure.

"Zhang Qiling..."

"Your name is Zhang Qiling? My name is also Zhang Qiling..."

"Ha ha…"

The shadowy figure chuckled at the mute Zhang, the sound as clear as a flushing toilet.

Zhang, the mute man, paused, stunned. It wasn't just that this person shared the same name as him; what truly alarmed him was that this person was also a member of the Zhang family!

Zhang the Mute was very familiar with that unique bloodline of the Zhang family.

Who exactly is this guy?

Zhang, the mute, felt a headache coming on. Just as he was about to catch up and ask for clarification, the dark figure had already disappeared again because of his hesitation.

"Hey...buddy, have you seen anyone? Who's that stalker bastard?"

Wang Yueban caught up, panting heavily.

Zhang, the mute, shook his head. "I didn't catch him!"

He did not mention that the person shared the same name as him, or that he was a member of the Zhang family!

Hearing this, Wang Yueban immediately became furious. "Sneaking around like that, what's he up to? Does he want to stop us? I'll make sure he's dead!"

As he spoke, Wang Yueban wanted to continue chasing after them. Xiuxiu stopped him, "Fatty, let's not get separated. Let's wait here for news from Master Su!"

Wang Yueban thought about it and felt that Xiuxiu's words made some sense. He cursed a few times and followed the mute Zhang back to reunite with Lao Hu, Wang Kaixuan, Zhang Yingchuan and others.

"I wonder how things are going on with Master Su and the others."

Wang Yueban was still a little worried, but when he saw Zhang the mute's distressed look, he knew that he wasn't the only one who was nervous this time.

Xiuxiu comforted Wang Yueban, "They will succeed. Let's wait a little longer. My grandma will send over the photos later."

"..."

Wang Yueban was suspicious; he was still somewhat unaccustomed to Xiuxiu's comforting words.

Xiuxiu used to love teasing him, why is she being so gentle now?

Just as he was puzzled, he glanced over and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Xiuxiu... seems different!

Wang Yueban approached Zhang the mute and whispered his doubts.

Zhang the Mute stared at Huo Xiuxiu for a while, his brows slowly furrowing, and then he immediately gave the Fatty a look.

Wang Yueban understood, his eyes widened, and he reached out to subdue Huo Xiuxiu.

"Fatty, Fatty, what are you doing? What do you want to do?"

Xiuxiu kept struggling, and you could tell that she was terrified.

Wang Yueban snorted coldly, touched her neck with his right hand, and then with a forceful movement, tore off a human skin mask.

This was definitely not Xiuxiu. A completely unfamiliar face appeared before them.

A very pretty girl, not very old, "Huo Xiaoyao?"

The only remaining member of the Huo family who had sprayed the strong alkali was also surprised. He had wanted to help the young lady out of the predicament, but when he saw that it wasn't their young lady, Huo Xiuxiu, he lowered his raised hand again.

"Speak! Who exactly are you? What Huo Xiaoyao? What kind of trouble is your Huo family causing now?"

Wang Yueban was a little angry. They had finally made up their minds to cooperate with Old Madam Huo, and they thought that both sides would be honest with each other and complete their first cooperation well.

Unexpectedly, Huo Xiuxiu turned out to be not the real person, which made Wang Yueban feel deceived and extremely angry.

"Whoa..."

Wang Kaixuan laughed and said, "Old Hu, you guessed right, Xiuxiu was indeed someone else in disguise..."

Wang Yueban was stunned. "Master, Master Hu, you know..."

Zhang Yingchuan shrugged. "Of course, we've seen more of the world than you've eaten salt. The first time we met, we noticed Xiuxiu had been replaced. But it was Old Madam Huo's doing; it's the Huo family's business, so we can't really say anything..."

Did Grandma Huo make it?

Wang Yueban was stunned.

Huo Xiaoyao explained, "It was the head of the household who told me to do this!"

It turned out that Old Mrs. Huo did not want her granddaughter Huo Xiuxiu to take the risk herself, so she had this young girl disguise herself and take Huo Xiuxiu's place.

She knocked Huo Xiuxiu unconscious before they left Agui's house in the morning.

Wang Yueban was still annoyed by this explanation. "How can this old lady Huo be so cunning? With us around, what could possibly happen to Xiuxiu? She's clearly trying to protect herself from us..."

The Huo family member who had been spraying alkali dared not speak anymore, because even he was kept in the dark.

Zhang Qiling didn't seem to care; as long as the person wasn't an enemy, he didn't care who they were.

As for Lao Hu, Wang Kaixuan, and Zhang Yingchuan, they didn't care at all. The reason they were willing to accompany the Huo family in tomb raiding was entirely because of Su Mo. As for what the Huo family actually wanted to do, Lao Hu didn't care.

After a while of arguing, Wang Yueban finally stopped and sat down to rest.

Another half hour passed, and people outside kept bringing in photos.

"Brother Su's photos are here! Brother Zhang, let's get started!"

Su Mo obtained the first password, checked it, took a picture, and sent it to Grandma Huo.

After a day and a night of effort, both sides finally received the photos.

Old Hu and the mute Zhang looked at the photos.

Above is a wall with several relief panels protruding; this is the code they need.

The relief is exactly the same as the relief on the door they are now on.

According to Grandma Huo and the others, as long as they press down on this protruding plate, they can open this stone door.

"So, if we press down on this raised relief, the door will open?"

Wang Yueban scratched his head. "Is it really necessary to make something so complicated about a simple stone door?"

"Okay, I'll press it..."

Wang Yueban stepped forward with the photo, and the mute Zhang shone a flashlight on him. Just as he was about to press the first button, the mute Zhang suddenly said, "Are you sure?"

This sound made the air feel extremely uneasy.

Everyone fell silent, their faces turning slightly pale.

Wang Yueban's heart started pounding after hearing that.

He had already pressed the button, but his hand froze halfway down. "Brother, what does this mean?"

Zhang Qiling's expression remained calm. "The Zhang Family Ancient Building is off-limits to outsiders..."

Chapter 459; Zhang Qiling, in danger!

"Hey bro, what does this mean?"

The mute Zhang remained calm. "The Zhang Family Ancient Building is off-limits to outsiders..."

These words made Wang Yueban break out in a cold sweat, and his hands trembled slightly.

The people behind him felt a chill run down their spines.

"But I've already pressed it, what should I do?" Wang Yueban said anxiously.

"..."

Zhang, the mute, fell silent again, which nearly exhausted Wang Yueban, who dared not move.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became very tense.

With a blank expression, the man said, "Go ahead and press it. With me here, you should be fine!"
