At the same time, I traveled through time and space, I dominated the heavens and the worlds

Amidst the muffled groans of the crowd, the tremors gradually subsided.

Sosi's screams reached everyone's ears.

Once the tremors stopped, Scarlett and the others hurriedly got up and gathered around Sothy.

Besides Lin Beihe, Lato has also turned into a dazed and stupid person again.

Constantine peered into the crowd from the periphery and saw the scene of blood everywhere. He clicked his tongue and shook his head: "Tragic, truly tragic. Her condition is not good."

Papillon and Zod were comforting Sosi when they heard Constantine's gloating words. They both looked up and glared at him angrily: "Hey! Is this the time for sarcastic remarks? If you don't want to come and help, then shut up and stay quiet!"

Constantine shrugged, walked over to Lin Bei, and remained silent.

Scarlett was also trying to comfort Sothy in the crowd, but Sothy's condition was too serious; she would die from massive bleeding if she didn't receive immediate medical attention.

Just as everyone was in a state of panic, Lato slowly spoke up: "Go to the other side of the water, we can save her."

Papillon looked up, bewildered, and asked, "What do you mean? What's over there?"

This is an underground tomb. They don't know how far they are from the so-called exit. What is on the other side of the water that can save Sosi?

Papillon and Zod thought that Lato was a little out of his mind and talking nonsense, but at that moment, Lin Bei's light laughter and Scarlett's joyful shout rang out at the same time.

"Of course, there's a magic stone on the other side of the water."

Lin Bei and Scarlett said this in unison, leaving everyone present stunned.

Papillon and Zod exchanged bewildered glances: "The Philosopher's Stone? That thing... it really exists?"

Scarlett nimbly got up, removed her equipment and shoes, and stretched a bit before going into the water: "The magic stone created by the ancient alchemists does exist. It is said that the magic stone can instantly heal the injured and turn stones into gold. As long as you have the magic stone, you can get anything you want! I'm going to go and see. You wait for me."

After saying that, Scarlett didn't wait for anyone's reaction and nimbly dove into the water.

Despite the dark, small surface of the water, Scarlett disappeared instantly after jumping in.

George and Benji were startled and cried out "Scarlett!" before rushing to the water's edge.

Looking at the deep, dark water, neither George nor Benji dared to go down, since neither of them knew what lay beneath.

Time passed slowly, and Sosi's cries of pain gradually subsided. She had lost too much blood and was about to go into hemorrhagic shock.

Everyone was worried, but there was nothing they could do. They were trapped here, without even a hole to crawl out of; the only passage was the water.

Just as despair was spreading, a sound came from the water.

A figure broke through the water's surface, struggled to climb up, and then quickly lunged at Sosi.

No one saw it clearly except Lin Bei, who saw Scarlett, who was soaking wet, pressing a red stone in her hand onto Sosi's wound with a solemn expression.

Sosi screamed in pain, and Scarlett pressed her forehead, murmuring something incomprehensible.

When everyone came to their senses and gathered around, Papillon and Zod gasped in astonishment: "My God, what kind of miracle is this? Look at the bloodstains on the ground, it's all gone back into Sosi's wound!"

Upon hearing this, Benji quickly went over and recorded this precious moment with his camera.

When Scarlett finished singing, a light sheen of cold sweat appeared on her forehead, and she trembled as she removed her hands from Sosi's broken arm.

In an instant, Papiron and the others all let out a shocked sigh.

Sosi's broken arm had been reattached, the bleeding had stopped, and her arm was smooth, making it seem as if it were just a misperception from when she was seriously injured.

Constantine whistled: "What's with that Philosopher's Stone? Is it real? It's so magical!"

Lin Bei slightly curled his lips and lowered his voice: "The real thing is here, but not here. That thing... comes at a price."

Constantine looked puzzled. Lin Bei didn't continue, quietly watching the team cheer and hug each other because Sosi had been rescued.

Lin Bei, Constantine, and Lato in the corner seemed to belong to a different group, their calmness and indifference polarized from theirs.

After Sosi sat up, Scarlett looked at Papillon with excitement: "You will never believe what I just saw! Treasure, the treasure is in the underwater room!"

Before everyone could recover from the magic of the Philosopher's Stone, they heard such good news, and Papillon, Sosi, and Zod were all thrilled.

Since there's no other way out here, we'll just go into the water and head to another room.

Everyone made their plans and got to work. Fortunately, their equipment was waterproof, so one by one they all went underwater.

Lato grinned sinisterly from the corner and followed him into the water.

After kicking the reluctant Constantine down, Lin Bei jumped down himself.

The water flow couldn't wet Lin Bei, and when he returned to the ground, only Lin Bei remained dry.

However, no one paid attention to Lin Bei's special status.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the dazzling gold all around.

It was still a small room with one wall covered in murals. The lower half of the murals was obscured, while the upper half depicted the sky and the earth. The area where the sun should have been on the murals was empty, which appeared to be where Scarlett had taken the Philosopher's Stone.

Next to the mural, there is a hole about the height of a person, filled with glittering gold coins and colorful jewels. A quick glance at it suggests that if you were to take them all out, they would be worth at least tens of millions.

Papillon and Zod jumped up and down with excitement, while Sosi, though still a little weak, also showed a joyful expression.

Benji diligently recorded everything, while George and Scarlett went to the mural, where Scarlett excitedly shared with George the secrets she had quickly deciphered from the mural.

The mural depicts the sky and the earth, with the magic stone suspended high in the sky, as sacred as the sun.

Scarlett held the Philosopher's Stone, so excited she was almost incoherent: "Finally, finally I've seen the Philosopher's Stone! It really exists! Father, Father was right!"

George patted her on the shoulder and turned to look at the mural on the wall.

Just then, Lin Bei's gaze fell on Papillon and Zod, and he turned to Constantine and said, "Watch your step."

Constantine looked bewildered: "What?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Papillon and Zod pounced on the pile of treasure. The next second, the ground trembled, and it seemed that some mechanism had been triggered beneath the pile of treasure, causing the entire ground to collapse and everyone to fall down again.

Amidst countless booming sounds and screams, everyone was swept away by a deluge of gold coins and plunged into endless darkness.

Lin Bei's eyes darkened slightly. After landing lightly, he casually picked up a Constantine.

Constantine rubbed his head and cursed, "Damn it, what's with Baal's vulgar taste? Have we already descended to the level closest to hell?"

When Constantine saw the painted murals, he already understood what this underground tomb was all about.

In fact, the entire underground tomb is divided into two levels, which are reversed and have the same layout, except that they are mirror images of each other.

That pile of treasure is likely a trap designed to lure humans into a trap; once they get close to it, the floor collapses, and they fall into the lower level.

The deeper you go, the closer you get to hell.

But only three people know this fact now.

When the camera lights came on again, Benji hesitated and asked, "Why are we still here? Did we just hallucinate?" The others got up one after another and looked around in the camera light.

Nothing has changed.

They were still in the room with the murals.

However, the treasure inside the cave was gone.

Everyone was stunned, but then Papillon's painful roar rang out: "No, this is not right, it shouldn't be like this!"

Benji instinctively turned the camera around.

What could be seen was Sosi lying on the ground, with Lato on top of her, biting her neck tightly.

Sosi tilted her head back helplessly, her eyes bulging with fear and unease as she looked at Papillon, who was closest to her.

Sosi, like an insect pinned to the ground, thrashed and struggled a couple of times before gradually falling silent.

Seeing another pool of bright red blood flowing from beneath Sosi, Papillon suddenly snapped out of his daze, roared, and rushed over, shoving Lato aside.

Lato nimbly leaped away, clinging to the stone wall like an insect, and grinned eerily at them all.

Papillon rushed over, clutched Sosi's bleeding neck, and yelled at Scarlett, "Save her!"

Scarlett quickly pulled out the Philosopher's Stone and went over to cover Sothy's neck.

But this time, the magic stone failed.

No matter how Scarlett chanted the incantation, Sothy's blood continued to gush out.

Scarlett's hands were quickly stained with blood until Sothy breathed her last.

Lato then said in a hoarse, malicious voice, "The first, the first soul to become the master's food, who will be next...?"

Papillon cursed angrily and got up to beat up Lato.

Korato suddenly leaped into the water and disappeared from their sight.

Scarlett stared blankly at Sosi's corpse, then at the Philosopher's Stone in her hand, now stained crimson with blood: "This isn't right, this shouldn't be... Why, why is this happening?"

Just as everyone was gripped by fear, a soft sigh broke the deadlock.

Lin Bei looked around at everyone and saw that they were all dejected, and said indifferently.

"This situation was bound to happen, so there's no need to be discouraged. This magic stone is real, yet it isn't. The real magic stone doesn't require a price, but this one is a mirror image. Every time you use it, you'll pay an equal price."

This Philosopher's Stone wasn't made by an alchemist; Baal placed it here on purpose.

Using this magic stone will come at an equal cost.

Sosi used it to save lives, so the price was a life.

As for whose fate it is, that's up to the owner of the magic stone.

In this situation, it is clear that Lato received orders from Bar to kill Sosi in public.

After hearing Lin Bei's words, Scarlett was a little confused: "But isn't this the Philosopher's Stone? It really... saved Sosi."

"But it also killed Sosi!"

Papillon roared, rushed over, grabbed the Philosopher's Stone, and slammed it heavily onto the mural.

The magic stone shattered into pieces, turning into red light and dissipating in mid-air.

Zod slumped to the ground in despair: "What are we going to do now? The Philosopher's Stone is gone, the treasure is gone, Sosi is gone, and what will happen next? Will we be the next ones to lose? Didn't Lato say that this is the first one, and if there's a first one, there will be a second, a third..."

"Shut up, shut up!" George couldn't take it anymore and yelled at Zod to shut up, covering his head with his hands.

But as soon as he shouted, he suddenly stared straight at the water.

There was nothing on the dark water, but George was mesmerized by it.

Benji was startled by George's actions and instinctively asked Lin Bei, "What's wrong with him?"

Lin Bei smiled slightly: "I saw the sins of the past."

Lin Bei's laughter was especially noticeable amidst the atmosphere of despair.

Papillon abruptly looked up at Lin Bei, questioning him in an almost collapsing voice, "Why do you know everything? You knew all along but didn't tell us? Did you know people would die? Was this your doing? Where did you get that strange power from? Did you make a pact with the devil to take all our souls?"

Papillon roared, actually trying to rush over and beat Lin Bei.

Lin Bei chuckled, but before he could make a move, Constantine stepped forward and shoved Papillon away forcefully.

Papillon slammed into the wall, groaned, and fell to the ground.

Constantine sneered, "Who do you think you are? You dare to question us? Let me tell you, if Lin Bei hadn't been here, you would all have been killed by Lato by now."

Papillon was helped to his feet by Zod. He looked at Lin Bei and Constantine in horror and fear, then turned to Scarlett and cursed, "Look what you've done! If I had known you brought two devils, I wouldn't have taken this job! Oh God, Sothy is dead! You've killed Sothy!"

Lin Bei found it amusing to face Papillon's unfounded accusations.

He flexed his wrists, pushed Constantine aside, and strolled over to Papillon.

Papillon instinctively shrank back, standing close to Zod.

Papillon glared at Lin Bei: "What...what do you want to do!"

Lin Bei looked down at the arrogant and greedy man and said coldly, "You're ridiculous, Papillon. Even now, you still can't see what's going on? Do you know the true identities of the people around you?"

Lin Bei's words left everyone present looking bewildered.

Who else could be by Papillon's side?
Zod, of course!
Aren't Zod and Papillon in cahoots? Does Zod have a second identity?

Papillon turned to look at Zod, who was staring at him blankly. He glared at Lin Bei again and said, "What nonsense are you spouting? Zod is my friend. Who else could he be?"

Lin Bei let out a long sigh.

The next second, Lin Bei raised his hand and cast a spell at Zod.

"The divine edge has no shadow."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless white blades appeared in the narrow space. The sound of the blades cutting through the air was particularly piercing, and they attacked Zod at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Constantine's eyes widened slightly. He chose to believe Lin Bei and stood still.

The others screamed instinctively, while Papiron was so frightened that he stood frozen in place.

Only one person leaped upwards, hovering on the rock slab above his head, just in time to dodge the rapidly spinning blade.

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow: "You've been acting all along, finally giving up?" (End of Chapter)
