The Informal Tomb Raiding Diary: She is the occupant of the tomb!-Chapter 419 - 317: Destination_2

So hidden so deep, how did Miss Tang and that mysterious Non-human Team know the core was in the city center just by wandering around the outskirts of the city?

Could it be that there was indeed insider information? The Ancient City has been around for a year, and only a small number of people in Kangaroo Country know about its existence. They aren’t even aware of the Cosmic Core, so there’s no information to leak.

Thinking further inside... it could only be Miss Tang’s father or someone working with him.

They have firsthand information. At that time, perhaps the ’pollutants’ hadn’t spread, and nothing in the desert was affected, so when Miss Tang’s father was conducting research, it was safer than now.

Later... it’s hard to say, so if we suppose Miss Tang knows about the existence of the Cosmic Core and intends to obtain it, she probably knows more or less about its use.

After communicating with Gu, a few of us had a simple exchange again. The main city area is the most dangerous part of this Ancient City; we don’t even know the basics about it.

I still think the shadow might be the Evil Spirit Wuyong mentioned. Chen Qinghan asked us to check our weapons and equipment. He said Miss Tang has been in the main city for several days, and we need to speed up our actions.

Once noon passed, we set off again. Chen Qinghan left Wang Le and Gu together; there’s almost no safe place in this city. Even if you hide inside every day, you could still face unexpected events.

So, he left Wang Le there. Two people are better than one; they can look out for each other in case anything happens.

Not sure if Wuyong is done charging. If we could chat with her again, maybe we could gain more insights.

She’s been trapped in this city the longest and managed to survive this long. Even if she doesn’t know how to kill the Evil Spirit, she should have the secret to getting along peacefully with them.

Chen Qinghan listened to my idea but didn’t agree with me going to Wuyong again. He said Wuyong is safe because she hasn’t touched the core. We don’t know what kind of agreement she has with the Evil Spirits, so what she says might not be true.

To say Wuyong and I have no relationship, I truly wouldn’t completely trust what she says. Going again would waste time, and I don’t know if she’s awake. So, I gave up on the idea of going to see her and set out with Chen Qinghan and others towards the city center.

The map drawn by Gu was very precise, and his drawing skills seemed quite professional, unlike mine. Chen Qinghan saw the marks I burned with Karmic Fire in the morning and asked why I left paw prints, whether they had any special meaning.

I was so angry I wanted to kick him. Those were clearly the lotus flowers I ’drew.’ What dog paws?!

According to the map, we found the building Gu mentioned, a three-story stone building. The first-floor hall had grid-like rooms, similar to bank counters.

Except, without glass. We found the secret passage entry Gu spoke of in the basement of the stone building.

The secret passage broke through the floor, which means this secret passage wasn’t part of the stone building’s original space. It was violently dug out after the stone building was constructed.

Huang Zaijiang was walking and searching, and Doctor Du asked what he was looking for, glancing around. Huang Zaijiang said he was trying to find the shadow Gu spoke of.

Ever since the shadow conveyed some message to me, I haven’t seen any trace of them.

Huang Zaijiang also couldn’t find it, but we saw the remains of the Non-human Team members, and Doctor Du stepped forward to examine them.

She said this person was indeed bitten by ’animals,’ and those ’animals’ only ate the brain and internal organs.

Chen Qinghan asked if there was anything strange about the deceased.

Doctor Du said she didn’t notice anything unusual, so for now, assume the deceased was truly human.

Gu said he saw four people at that time; one person died in the secret passage, what about the other three?

We exited from the secret passage and specifically looked around, but we didn’t find any other bodies.

Nor did we see those plants that chased people, which Gu described as resembling seaweed, dancing in the wind, carefree and happy.

After coming out of the secret passage, no one could guide us on the next route.

Huang Zaijiang took out his instrument to measure the nearest distance from our position to the city center.

He measured several routes and finally chose one with the fewest buildings along the way.

Too many buildings would make it hard for us to flee. Chen Qinghan told us to take out our weapons and be ready to respond at any time.

I saw Doctor Du wasn’t carrying a needle but a spray bottle, resembling a bottle of air freshener.

"What is this?" I couldn’t tell what was inside from the bottle, so I asked.
