Along the way, everyone was relatively quiet until late at night, when they suddenly saw an old lady burning paper there. After seeing this scene, Fatty Wang was filled with curiosity.

Before Zhang Hao could react, Fatty Wang had already approached the old lady.

"Old lady, who are you burning paper for here?" he asked.

"It's so late at night, why are you here alone?" he continued to ask.

After saying these words, he slowly sat down.

At this moment, he discovered that the old lady was actually a mummy!
Fatty Wang looked up at Zhang Hao with horror and said, "Brother Zhang Hao...she is a dried corpse...why is she still burning paper here?"

Before Zhang Hao had the time to answer Fatty Wang's question, he heard an eerie and terrifying sound.

"Are you curious? If you want to know why I am burning paper here... I will tell you..."

“Ahhh…” Fatty Wang let out a scream, and then his whole body leaned backward. He was so scared that he fainted.

No one expected that this mummy would actually speak.

Seeing Wang Pangzi who had fainted from fear, everyone was shocked. They looked at the mummy in front of them with horror.

For a moment, everyone looked at each other, at a loss, and all eyes were focused on Zhang Hao, expecting him to give an explanation as to what was going on.

Zhang Hao's brows knitted tightly together, and he muttered to himself, "The mummy is talking, this is not a good sign." An ominous premonition came to his mind, and he acted quickly, using the hexagonal black seal, and subdued the mummy in the blink of an eye.

However, the mummy seemed quite dissatisfied with Zhang Hao's sudden attack and began to twist its body frantically, trying to break free from the restraints.

Zhang Hao stared at the corpse with his eyes wide open, and asked in a low and serious voice: "Why are you here? What is your intention?"

"In the dead of night, you come here to burn paper. Are you waiting for us here on purpose? Who instructed you to do this?" Zhang Hao asked a series of questions in a loud and clear voice.

When the mummy heard Zhang Hao's question, it made a creepy strange sound.

"You misunderstood. I'm just here to burn paper." Its voice sounded strange and a little aggrieved.

"I just want to pay tribute to the souls of my deceased relatives. Is that not allowed? Why do you have such a strong reaction?" the mummy continued to defend himself.

Zhang Hao sneered and asked, "Then tell me, why can a dried corpse like you speak?" His eyes were full of suspicion and vigilance.

"Do you still want to continue deceiving us and think that we will believe your lies? This is ridiculous!" Zhang Hao ruthlessly exposed the mummy's lies.

The mummy was horrified when it saw that it could not get away with it, fearing that Zhang Hao would see through its true purpose.

In desperation, it tried its best and broke free from Zhang Hao's control.

The mummy's body was seen twisting wildly, with a burst of white powder floating out.

Everyone was caught off guard and inhaled the powder instantly, fainting on the ground.

By the time Zhang Hao realized something was wrong, it was too late and everyone had lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, when everyone gradually woke up, they found that there were pairs of green eyes staring at them.

When Fatty Wang saw this scene, he screamed in fear. He approached Zhang Hao tremblingly and asked nervously, "Brother Zhang Hao, what are these green-eyed monsters? Why are they staring at us?"

"This is so scary! Look at this quiet night, and we are surrounded by these monsters. It gives me goose bumps." Fatty Wang's voice trembled, his palms were sweating, his back was cold, and his body shivered involuntarily.

Zhang Hao looked at Fatty Wang helplessly, not knowing how to comfort him for a moment.

At this time, Zhang Qilin saw Wang Pangzi's cowardly appearance and said coldly: "What's there to be afraid of? They are just some mutant mice. That's why their eyes glow green."

"What kind of monster do you think you are? Look at how cowardly you look." There was a hint of disdain in Zhang Qilin's words.

After hearing what Zhang Qilin said, Fatty Wang looked at him in disbelief and retorted, "Menyouping, are you sure these are mutant rats and not monsters? Don't fool me. Do you look down on me when you look at me?"

"In this quiet night, when you open your eyes and see these things around you, aren't you afraid?" Fatty Wang complained.

At this moment, the mutant rats began to chirp non-stop and frantically bit off the ropes that bound them. Zhang Hao saw this scene and secretly rejoiced. He quickly cooperated with the rats and untied the ropes that bound everyone.

After everyone regained their freedom, Zhang Hao looked around vigilantly and whispered, "Let's go, we can't stay here for long, we have to leave this place as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, everyone followed Zhang Hao and quickly fled this haunted place. Recalling the thrilling scene just now, everyone was still frightened and did not dare to slack off.

As Hao Xie fled, he whispered to Zhang Hao, "It was so dangerous just now. We don't know how long we were unconscious. If those monsters take advantage of us to attack, we will be in trouble."

"But fortunately, everyone is safe now. Let's leave this place first." There was a hint of relief in Hao Xie's words.

Everyone fled in a hurry under the cover of night. When they stopped, they found themselves in front of the main gate of the Valley Temple.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Hao shouted in time, and everyone stopped.

Hao Xie looked at the Valley Temple in surprise and said with emotion: "Valley Temple, I didn't expect that we would actually come here accidentally. Is this God's will? Let's go in and take a look, maybe we can find what we need."

"This is too much of a coincidence, let's go!" Hao Xie's words were full of anticipation.

However, Zhang Hao seemed not to have heard Hao Xie's words. He was looking around intently at this moment because he found that the Heavenly Map was gone!
"Wait a minute, don't be anxious. Where did the Tiantu go?" Zhang Hao's words made everyone alert.

"That's right, it was there just now, how come it suddenly disappeared?" someone asked puzzledly.

"Has anyone seen where Tiantu went? This is too strange." Everyone started talking about it.

"Could this celestial map have any connection with the Temple of the God of Grain?" Someone made a bold guess.

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts filled with doubts and confusion.

At this moment, Fatty Wang suddenly started cursing, "This damn mummy must have stolen the celestial map while we were asleep!"

"It seems that its purpose is really impure. Have we been deceived? We only discovered now that the Sky Map is missing." Fatty Wang shouted angrily.

"It's so ridiculous, damn mummy..." Although everyone felt helpless about Wang Pangzi's words, the sky map was indeed gone. Everyone was at a loss for a moment, and at this moment, Zhang Qilin suddenly heard the chirping of mice coming towards this side.

"Let's go, or it will be too late! Those mutated rats are coming this way!" Zhang Qilin hurriedly pulled everyone into the Valley Temple.

As soon as everyone entered the temple, the door of the Valley Temple closed tightly with a "creak", separating Zhang Hao and his group from the rats just before the rats arrived.

The mouse was blocked outside the door and seemed restless. It kept chirping outside the door and gnawing at the door of the Temple of the God of Ceres, trying to break through the obstacle and enter the temple.

As the gate closed, the light inside the temple suddenly became dim, blurry, and pitch-black. Zhang Hao and his team had long been accustomed to this kind of darkness, but the members of the archaeological team felt a little scared and lost their sense of security, always thinking that something bad would happen next.

What made the archaeological team members even more uneasy was that they seemed to have a cold feeling behind them. In a hurry, someone took out a flashlight. As the light flashed, a huge python suddenly appeared in front of everyone!
"Ah..." A scream rang out, and a member of the archaeological team was swallowed by the giant python in an instant. The giant python's eyes flashed with greedy desires, and it seemed to be extremely excited to see Zhang Hao and his team appear here.

The giant python was more than ten meters long and as thick as a water tank, with its huge head shaking constantly. Everyone was frightened by this sudden monster, especially the members of the archaeological team, who were so scared that they ran away in all directions.

The scene was in chaos for a while. Zhang Hao shouted loudly: "Don't panic, running around is useless. You may encounter other dangers!"

Under Zhang Hao's control, everyone gradually calmed down and began to confront the giant python. Seeing that everyone was staring at it, the giant python seemed quite dissatisfied and began to twist its huge body to attack Zhang Hao and his group.

At this critical moment, Zhang Hao keenly observed a detail: the giant python did not make any sound in the dark and was able to launch an attack silently!
No wonder no one noticed it before. If the archaeologists had not turned on the flashlight in time, they would not have known that the team member had met with misfortune.

While dealing with the giant python, Zhang Hao silently observed its habits. He glanced at Zhang Qilin and asked in confusion: "Strange, how can this python be silent in the dark?"

He pondered for a moment and continued, "Well, let's have the others hide to the side and turn off their flashlights. The two of us will attack from both sides and find its weakest point to strike."

"As long as we find its Achilles' heel, we'll find its fatal weakness, and things will be much easier." Zhang Hao's words were full of determination.

Zhang Qilin nodded and agreed with Zhang Hao's proposal. Upon hearing this, Chen Wenjin immediately ordered the team members to turn off their flashlights and hide in the darkness.

At this moment, only Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin were left confronting the giant python.

They surrounded the python from the front and back, attacking it fiercely, trying to see how the snake would react.

Not long after, under the continuous attacks of Zhang Qilin and Zhang Hao, the giant python suddenly began to twist its huge body in pain.

The man looked extremely painful. Zhang Hao shouted, "Zhang Qilin... do it!"

As soon as Zhang Hao finished speaking, Zhang Qilin moved suddenly, and an ancient black gold knife appeared in his hand in an instant.

Against the backdrop of the night, a cold light flashed, and in a flash, the black gold ancient knife in Zhang Qilin's hand had firmly pierced into the giant python's body.

"Hiss..."

The giant python began to howl constantly, its tail swinging wildly and its huge head shaking constantly.

After struggling there for a while, he finally lay down quietly. Everything returned to calm and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When everyone saw the giant python die in the hands of Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin, they felt very relieved.

Looking at the huge corpse lying here quietly, Zhang Hao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he just felt sorry for the archaeologist who was swallowed by the giant python.

Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Qilin, they smiled at each other, then Zhang Hao turned and looked at the people hiding in the night.

"Come out... The danger has been eliminated. There is no need to be afraid. We will continue on our journey."

"We can't stay here forever, our time is running out."

Everyone gathered together again and continued to move forward under the leadership of Zhang Hao.

After walking for a distance, a fork in the road appeared in front of everyone.

Zhang Hao stopped and stared at the fork in the road in front of him, not knowing what to choose for a moment.

Just when Zhang Hao was hesitating, Chen Wenjin suddenly walked up to Zhang Hao.

"Zhang Hao...how about this, we split up here, and I'll take the archaeological team to one side."

"You go to the other side, and we'll split up to look for clues."

After listening to Chen Wenjin's idea, Zhang Hao felt that this was inappropriate.

"No... this is too dangerous."

"Your archaeological team has no martial arts skills. If you encounter a situation like that again, what will you do?"

"Are we going to watch our teammates die? Let me think of other solutions."

“Not only do we have to keep moving forward, but we have to do it while keeping everyone safe.”

"Do you think these members of the archaeological team can ensure their own safety?"

After listening to Zhang Hao's words, Chen Wenjin also felt that what he said made sense.

She also didn't want her team members to be in danger or lose their lives here, which made her feel a little embarrassed for a moment.

We can only wait for Zhang Hao to make a decision and see what foolproof plan he can come up with.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao turned around and looked at the people following him.

"Well, since there is a fork in the road before us, in order to find some clues in time."

"We must act separately, but we can't do what Captain Chen just said."

"My idea is that Zhang Qilin and I will each lead a team, and we will distribute our strength evenly, so that we can ensure everyone's safety."

"If we encounter a situation like that again, we won't let anyone lose their lives. (End of this chapter)
