"Are you so angry because you have also been deceived? Were you locked up here by those who knew the truth?"

"Ahhh! Shut up!"

The giant beast had already lost its mind, and the bead was spinning faster and faster, and the entire tomb seemed to be illuminated.

When Zhang Hao dodged, he accidentally stepped on the skeleton.

Unexpectedly, the giant beast's body suddenly stiffened, and then it screamed even more wildly.

"Let her go, let her go!"

Who to release? This bone?

Is this bone something important to it?
Zhang Hao suddenly realized that he could start from here.

He grabbed the bone and broke it.

"Come and hit me if you dare."

"Ahhh!"

The monster's eyes turned red, and the beads suddenly fell to the ground and exploded!
When the beads exploded, all the powder pierced the body like sharp swords.

Zhang Hao suddenly felt unbearable pain, but he understood that he had to be more careful at this time.

When people are furious, their behavior is very different from normal behavior.

When the giant beast launched the attack, it didn't even notice that there was a magic circle where Zhang Hao had just escaped!
When the giant beast ran to where Zhang Hao had stood, the magic circle instantly emitted a golden light, firmly fixing the body of the giant beast, making it unable to move.

"What did you do!"

"I didn't do anything, I just trapped you here. Who is this person? Why are you so nervous?"

"Let her go, let her go!"

"Tell me who this person is first, and I'll let you go."

"It's my friend, it's my friend..."

Zhang Hao couldn't help but be stunned.

Before, this giant beast was talking about partners all the time, but now it actually calls this person a friend?
Partners are for eating, but what about friends?

What role do friends play for this giant beast?
Suddenly, the beast began to struggle.

The force was so great that Zhang Hao couldn't control it.

He had no choice but to use all his strength to strike hard at the beast's vital point!
After this attack, the giant beast calmed down, and its eyes were fixed silently on the bone in Zhang Hao's hand, never moving away.

It won't last long.

"Why is she a friend and not a partner?"

"She said she was a friend...she was a friend."

Only then did he realize that the giant beast did not understand what a friend was. Perhaps it only regarded the owner of the corpse as an important person to itself, but did not understand the meaning of friend. It only thought so because this person said so.

Do giant beasts have human emotions?
Before Zhang Hao had the time to ask this question, he saw that the giant beast's body was slowly rotting, and the speed of aging was visible to the naked eye.

First she became a young woman, then a middle-aged woman, and finally an old woman...

Life disappears quickly in a few minutes, and those frozen moments are returned to it a thousand times the price.

"I will take your important friend out for burial. Where can you tell me the truth?"

Zhang Hao asked this because he felt that the giant beast might not know the whole truth and it had also been deceived.

But if even the truth that we have found with so much difficulty is false, then what is true?
Who is behind this?
The beast slowly closed its eyes. Just when Zhang Hao thought it would not answer, it slowly said, "The Polar Tower... Once you enter that tower, you will find everything... the answer..."

That name again!

Zhang Hao had come here in the first place because of this name, but after all the trouble, they haven't even seen the shadow of this tower!

Why on earth is this happening!

What on earth is he going to do to find out the truth!
After the giant beast died, the cave began to collapse. Zhang Hao had no time to clean up, so he took off the only piece of clothing on his upper body, wrapped up the bones, and rushed out desperately.

The speed at which the cave collapsed was beyond his imagination. When the exit was right in front of him, a huge rock fell down and blocked the way!

Zhang Hao's hands were occupied and he couldn't activate the talisman.

Just then, a shout came from the cave entrance:
"Lao Zhang, come out quickly!"

It’s Fatty Wang’s voice!
It turned out that Fatty Wang had rushed in. Seeing the stone falling, he kicked it with all his strength, and finally a crack appeared in the stone!

Zhang Hao did not hesitate and decisively followed Fatty Wang to escape!

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin had been waiting at the cave entrance. They were finally relieved when they saw him come out safely.

The ancestral hall collapsed, and so many of the Sun family’s tablets were buried forever along with the house.

Maybe those people know the truth, but Zhang Hao will never find someone who knows the truth.

Fatty Wang looked at Zhang Hao's thoughtful expression and did not disturb him. Instead, he helped Zhang Qilin up and walked towards the exit silently.

Zhang Hao released Sun Pingkuan from the space, but he had already fallen into a coma and his face was very pale. Zhang Hao stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and it was stable, as if he was just asleep, but Zhang Hao could not feel the power of the soul in his body...

He seemed to have fallen into an endless sleep at this moment, just like the body of the giant beast, and time seemed to have stood still.

After calming down, Zhang Hao found a place and told everyone his experience in the cave in detail.

Everyone fell silent.

Finally, Fatty Wang was the first to break the silence: "So, we searched so many places and spent so much effort, but we didn't even see the shadow of the tower! Where on earth is that broken tower?"

“Fatty, don’t be anxious.” Hao Xie had regained his composure. He closed his eyes, pinched his brows, and thought hard.

"Since there is a secret behind this, there must be a way to find it. Let's go back and rest for a while. We are all too tired."

Zhang Hao, as the backbone of the team, now even says that he is tired. This incident has also caused great harm to Zhang Hao. For example, in order to gain the strength to fight against the giant beast, Zhang Hao has caused irreparable harm to himself.

Everyone else saw this, and now it was not a good idea to force him to do anything.

Several people stayed in a hotel in a nearby town.

The innkeeper was a woman in her forties, graceful and sexy, but judging by her expression, she was someone who was not easy to mess with. She was stunned for a moment when she saw several people coming over in ragged clothes and looking exhausted.

"Are you going to the mountains to mine?"

Zhang Hao smiled bitterly: "We are not going to mine. Boss, can we get a room? If it is inconvenient, we can go to another place."

They really don't look like good people. In this small place, a few men covered in wounds suddenly appeared, and anyone would be scared.

The hotel proprietress is a woman, and Zhang Hao doesn't want to make things difficult for her.

But I didn’t expect the proprietress to throw out three keys.

"There are only three vacancies left. I'll give them all to you."

"How much?" Zhang Hao grabbed the key without hesitation, fearing that the landlady would go back on her word. Seeing his actions, the landlady smiled and pointed upstairs: "Go and rest tonight, and come back to pay when you check out tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, Madam Boss."

Zhang Hao and Hao Xie carried Zhang Qilin upstairs together, and Fatty Wang even flirted with the proprietress from behind.

"Don't worry, Madam Boss, we are all good kids and will be very quiet at night."

In response, the proprietress just smiled.

"It's okay. If it's too noisy, you can just pay for it."

It sounded as if she didn't care at all about the noise they made upstairs, as long as they paid the money.

Fatty Wang couldn't help but shiver, then hurried upstairs.

Although they were given three rooms, they subconsciously entered one room.

Zhang Qilin's poison had penetrated deep into his bones. His entire arm had lost all feeling, his face was pale, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He had been hiding his arm all the way, trying hard not to make a sound, but now that he was in the room, he finally couldn't help it.

It was the first time they saw Zhang Qilin suffering from such a serious injury.

Hao Xie couldn't help but pounded the bed hard.

"I should have stayed with you! I followed Lao Zhang underground but didn't help much. Lao Zhang was able to escape because he fought off the giant beast..."

Their strength was indeed insignificant compared to Zhang Hao's, and this was something he had known for a long time. Although he had comforted himself countless times, he still could not accept his own weakness when faced with this cruel reality.

"Okay, go prepare some food." Zhang Hao took out the last of his savings from his backpack and handed it to Hao Xie: "Go outside and buy some food."

"Is this all the money you have left? How are we going to pay the room tomorrow? This landlady doesn't look like someone you can easily mess with." Fatty Wang also panicked and quickly rummaged through his backpack to see if there was anything valuable that could be exchanged for money.

"Forget it, forget it. Anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal. Don't worry about money. I'm just afraid that there are some things that can't be solved even with money."

As Zhang Hao spoke, he looked towards the door, as if he was looking at something through the door.

Outside the door, the proprietress was standing opposite with a faint smile on her face. She seemed to have heard what Zhang Hao said. She narrowed her eyes slightly, moved her lips, and made a "tsk" sound as if inadvertently.

Then the proprietress turned and left.

Zhang Hao retracted his gaze and said, "I have to see how serious the young man's injuries are. If there is really no way to cure him--"

Before he could finish his words, the young man said, "Then cut off my arm."

That’s right, this is exactly what Zhang Hao wanted to say, but he still felt a little reluctant in his heart.

The young man is very skilled. If he loses an arm, his strength will be greatly reduced.

Hao Xie immediately retorted: “No!”

The young man had been through so much with them, and if he really lost an arm, it would be a heavy blow to all of them.

The young man held Hao Xie's hand and comforted him, "Don't panic, this is not that scary. At least we have arrived in another world. Aren't things that we thought were impossible before happening now?"

This is true.

Hao Xie was in a low mood and almost collapsed. He stood up and walked to the door. He subconsciously touched his pocket, but suddenly remembered that he had thrown away all his cigarettes since he was diagnosed with lung cancer.

At this moment, a delicate hand suddenly stretched out from the side, holding a slender ladies' cigarette.

When I turned around, it was the proprietress from before.

Hao Xie was subconsciously a little wary and didn't take it. He just forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I don't smoke."

"Then you were touching your pocket just now. I thought you were craving for cigarettes and had no cigarettes."

The proprietress didn't care about his refusal and started smoking.

Hao Xie didn't want to have a falling out with the boss lady, so he explained: "My lungs are not good. Because of lung disease, I threw away all the cigarettes. I didn't react just now."

I don’t know if the proprietress believed it or not. She just squatted next to Hao Xie and smoked silently.

"Where are you from?" the proprietress suddenly asked after finishing a cigarette.

Hao Xie shook his head: "I don't know where I am."

"Do you know how you made me feel when you first came?"

Hao Xie shook his head again.

Although I don’t know what it feels like exactly, I guess it’s not that good.

"You give me the feeling of tomb robbers."

Hearing this, Hao Xie's heart tightened. He didn't expect the boss lady's intuition to be so accurate. Although they didn't directly do tomb robbing work, they could indeed be classified as this kind of people.

"Boss lady, don't you welcome people like us?"

"That's not the case. Our place is poor and remote, and there are all kinds of people here. If I didn't accept strange guests, this store would have closed down long ago."

Classified as a strange guest, Hao Xie didn’t think much about it. He nodded and continued to be in a daze.

I thought that if I showed that I didn't want to continue the conversation, the boss lady would leave, but she just continued smoking.

Hao Xie had no choice but to say: "I may have to stay away from you. I still want to live a few more years and can't breathe too much secondhand smoke."

"You have lung cancer? Your friends don't know yet, do they? I don't think they've taken any special care of you."

Lung cancer, it’s so accurate.

Hao Xie lowered his head and clenched and unclenched his fists several times before his heartbeat calmed down.

"I don't know how to tell them. I don't want them to know that I'm sick, but they can vaguely sense it. We always have various things on our minds that we won't tell others."

"You guys are really strange friends."

The two of them started chatting, and Zhang Hao was no longer so wary, because although the proprietress looked difficult to deal with, her attitude of speaking was quite gentle.

"Madam boss, why aren't you afraid? I just saw several off-road vehicles parked in the parking lot of your hotel. The bodies of the vehicles are all covered in mud. They must have come from the mountains, right? This area has beautiful scenery and there should be many tombs. That's why you think we are tomb robbers, right?"

The lady boss nodded. "Yes, that's what I thought. Are you offended? Aren't you actually in this line of work?"

"Well, we just went to our friend's ancestral hall to check something. We didn't enter the ancestral tombs. And our friends were with us when we went, so we shouldn't be considered tomb robbers."

"So, you think you are a good person?"

"Madam Boss, do you think tomb robbers are not good people?"

The two of them were testing each other, neither of them willing to reveal their cards first.

After staring at each other for nearly a minute, Hao Xie was the first to give in. He looked away and said in a light tone, "So many rare treasures are buried underground and will never see the light of day. Maybe some tomb robbers think so and want to dig things out. But I can explain to you that I am not that kind of person. I have indeed been to tombs before, but I have never taken valuable burial objects. Most of them were for scientific research, and I have official documents issued by the state."

Huo Xiuxiu's family has cooperated with archaeological teams a lot, and Hao Xie and his team sometimes get formal documents through this procedure.

So they are not considered tomb robbers. Even if they really want to take something, even a brick or tile must be reported.

"Speaking of which, Madam Boss, why do you think tomb robbers are not good people?" (End of this chapter)
