Bai Junjun could only suppress her impatience and slowly continue exploring inside.
Fortunately, although the tomb was large, the lighting system was well established; at least they had lights throughout their journey, and their vision was not disturbed.
Of course, this was probably the only benefit of the Black Spider entering first; at least they did not have to worry about lighting the lamps.
However, the two had already experienced the advanced ancient technology in Fubo City.
Back then, they had casually lit a lamp, and the fla could follow the oil pipes to ignite the other lamps.
This place, also from over a thousand years ago, must have had similar technology.
Despite Jade Pond being quite large, there were still many torches around, so lighting was not an issue.
When Bai Junjun passed one of the lampstands, she took a special look inside and saw that two-thirds of the large tank of lamp oil was still there.
Looking at the dark lamp oil, it’s unclear if it was the so-called shark people’s corpse oil ntioned in legends.
After all, in the storybooks, shark people’s corpse oil was always associated with tombs.
But this question was unverifiable; there were no lampstand instructions to be found here.
The group followed the lampstands as they moved ahead and suddenly discovered the previously orderly footsteps beca disordered from a point forward.
Li Wenli, leading the way, crouched down to study the footsteps, and Bai Junjun also leaned in to take a look.
The path from Jade Pond had only forward-moving footsteps, but from this point, there were also footsteps running back, and those footsteps were extrely chaotic. It seed that more than one person had been running back, and for so unknown reason, they had all turned around halfway through.
The further back they went, the more disordered the footsteps beca.
“Be careful,” Li Wenli said flatly, guessing that the anomaly had started here.
The group stopped talking and moved forward with heightened alertness.
After the spacious area ca another cavern, their field of view narrowed, and in front of them appeared another long and narrow corridor which, perhaps due to its proximity to Jade Pond, was damp.
A cold dampness followed.
Even soone like Bai Junjun, who had seen grand spectacles, felt uncomfortable.
She was just about to draw on the energy of plants and trees within her body to warm up, but before she could, everything in front of her eyes suddenly darkened, and the light turned from dim yellow to grey.
Such grey light, like the fine moonlight only seen on a cold winter mid-night, was by the re change in light enough to make one shiver all over.
At that mont, Li Wenli also gently squeezed her hand, and Bai Junjun then realized that Li Wenli’s hand was as cold as hers.
Li Wenli gestured for her to look up at the do.
Bai Junjun instinctively glanced up and was suddenly struck by the discovery of countless mica fluorite stones on the do, casting the light in the place.
This grey light was as terrifying as the Underworld, making Jade Pond Sheng Realm, which they had seen earlier, truly sumptuous in comparison.
“What… what are those?”
Xiao Chan stood behind, staring ahead in horror, with her pupils trembling.
Caught up in observing the light source, Bai Junjun followed Xiao Chan’s gaze forward, only to see many people standing under the do, in the Central Courtyard. These people were stiff, standing upright, their complexions as grey and defeat as paper effigies in a candle shop.
It was impossible to tell if they were real people or clay sculptures just by looking at their faces, but judging from their clothes, they were wearing the familiar uniform of the Black Spider.
It was this sense of conflict that made Xiao Chan unable to control her shivering.
