Chapter 638 Dead End
The others could only agree. The guys could now see that when Chen Ziyan said this, it was basically a notice disguised as an inquiry.

They continued moving forward like this for more than ten minutes. Just when Chen Ziyan began to wonder if he had fallen into some kind of loop mechanism again, a different scene finally appeared in front of him.

After walking out of the passage, Chen Ziyan immediately discovered that they had come to an unfamiliar tomb, which was not the place they entered.

After looking around with the searchlight, Chen Ziyan had the answer in his mind. This should be the counterpart of the previous tomb. However, compared with the prosperity of the other tomb, this tomb was much simpler and there was nothing on the surface.

There was neither the exquisite cloud-top palace model, nor the night-shining pearls densely covering the dome, nor the hidden pictures...

But it's not that there is nothing here. In addition to the Qinggang stone bricks that can be seen everywhere, Chen Ziyan also found several skeletons in a corner.

There was not a trace of flesh and blood on these skeletons, only the white bones that still maintained their complete shape.

What Chen Ziyan valued most was the clothes on the skeletons. They were clearly modern styles, and judging from the degree of damage, they were no more than ten years old.

Chen Ziyan didn't even need to say anything, as a guy with relevant skills immediately came forward to check it out.

"Master Chen, these corpses are corroded."

Soon, the guy in charge of the inspection got some results.

"Can we tell the cause of death?" Chen Ziyan asked.

He was not surprised that the corpse was corroded. He had already thought of this possibility when he saw the style of clothes on the skeleton.

But what he couldn't figure out was what could do this. After all, it only destroyed flesh and blood without affecting clothes. This was obviously not something that ordinary corrosive things could do.

"It's impossible to determine. We can only see that the problem is not with the bones." Hearing Chen Ziyan's question, the guy shook his head.

"Look for other gains." Chen Ziyan did not force it, he just asked casually.

"Okay." The guy responded and began to rummage through the skeleton's clothes.

He was also afraid that Chen Ziyan would insist on giving an answer himself. Now that he saw that his boss was so reasonable, he naturally wanted it.

Although Chen Ziyan did not do it himself, he just stood aside and watched, so he saw the whole process. However, even if he discovered something, he did not say anything to interrupt the waiter's actions, but waited patiently.

The guy quickly completed the work and made a brief summary of everything he found.

Chen Ziyan didn't even look at the tools and weapons. He directly locked onto the several porcelain boxes that were placed together and took them in his hands.

Each corpse had one of these porcelain boxes, and they were placed in a more secretive place inside the lining of clothes. It was obviously something they valued very much during their lifetime.

However, after Chen Ziyan looked at them over and over for a while, he did not find anything useful. These porcelain boxes seemed to be simply empty boxes. Not only did they not have any mechanisms, but there was nothing inside.

Other people also noticed these porcelain boxes. They had similar ideas to Chen Ziyan, and they all felt that there must be something wrong with these porcelain boxes. The reason they couldn't see it now was because they just didn't understand the problem.

So they also wanted to take the porcelain boxes and study them, but Chen Ziyan didn't have this idea. After he didn't get anything, he just put them away. Although he couldn't figure out the function of these porcelain boxes for the time being, he had a hunch that these little gadgets must be special, otherwise these corpses wouldn't carry them with them.

"Master Chen, do you think these corpses... could be related to the tent we found on the sea?" Upon seeing this, Dong Yanxia immediately changed the subject.

He did this not just for Chen Ziyan, but more for themselves.

He could feel that as the exploration journey drew to a close, the atmosphere in the team had changed. So in order to prevent someone from taking advantage of the situation and secretly attacking him and others, the best way was to suppress all bad signs.

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should be some connection between the two." Chen Ziyan nodded.

But he was not completely sure, because the two existed for similar years, but there was no direct evidence to prove that the tents on the isolated island were left by these corpses.

"These people don't look like they are drifting on the sea." Another guy suddenly said.

Chen Ziyan understood why he said that, which could be seen from the clothes these corpses were wearing and the things they carried with them.

The clothes on these corpses and the tools they carry at all times are more suitable for operations on land rather than in such a deep sea.

Chen Ziyan also had some guesses about this. He suspected that these people did not come down from the sea, but came out from underground.

He was not sure before, but after the bottomless hole appeared, he was basically certain that there was an underground space underneath.

What made him unsure was that this place was too far away from the land. It was hard to imagine that someone could find their way here from underground.

"Let's leave it at that for now and try to find a way out." Chen Ziyan said after hesitating for a while.

Apart from the corpses themselves, the most valuable things on them are the porcelain boxes he collected, so there is no point in continuing the research. It would be better to find a way to leave here.

He felt that since this was the counterpart of the previous tomb, it should have the same structure. If he could find it, he might be able to find those hidden tombs.

Although the guys were confused, they also understood that even if the bodies were hidden, they would be difficult to find in a short period of time. There was really no need to waste time on this, so they immediately dispersed and started searching.

Chen Ziyan was not idle either. He went straight to the location of the secret door to see if he could find anything.

But what Chen Ziyan didn't expect was that he found nothing after groping on the wall for a long time.

And it wasn't just him, the other guys didn't get anything.

This result was somewhat beyond Chen Ziyan's expectations. He stood in front of the wall and fell into deep thought. According to his thoughts, he should be able to find a way out. It didn't make sense that he couldn't find anything.

But now the results appeared in front of him. They checked almost every inch of the tomb and found that there was indeed no hidden mechanism on the walls of the tomb. He had no choice but to believe it.

Rubbing his brows in distress, Chen Ziyan said helplessly, "Let's go back the same way."

Since there is no road here, we can only go back to the passage and find the original road.
