Listening to Kunshi Qinawa’s words, Yang Qingshu secretly smirked.

This guy is really kind of funny!

Does he honestly think he’s the chosen one?

Moreover, he noticed that both Tongtai and Kunshi Qinawa had oversimplified the situation with the statue.

Both of them thought that as long as they got their hands on the statue, they could quickly gain Extraordinary Power.

But what if something unexpected happens in the process?

It’s likely that this group doesn’t have a plan to deal with that.

However, given the current situation, it’s not the right time for him to voice any opinions, so he’ll just have to play dead for now!

Meanwhile, Kunshi Qinawa had already led the group to the entrance of the dark chamber.

He bent down and peeked inside.

The passage in the dark chamber was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

However, he faintly detected a slight scent of blood.

"Tongtai, you’ve got some nerve!"

"You even know how to double-cross?"

Kunshi Qinawa turned his head and glanced approvingly at his nephew.

In his view, the cooperation between his nephew and the Cyan Dragon Gang was merely a facade.

Ultimately, it was because his nephew’s power was too weak.

So he had to team up with the Cyan Dragon Gang, borrowing their power to disrupt the waters and give himself a chance to fish in troubled waters.

You know what...

If he hadn’t played the role of the "mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind," this kid would have succeeded.

"Kawa, are you still in there?"

"Once you have it, come out quickly!"

Kunshi Qinawa shouted into the dark chamber.

He shouted three or four times, but there was no response from the dark chamber, as if no one was inside.

"Hmm?"

Kunshi Qinawa looked puzzled and murmured to himself, "Could something have happened to Kawa?"

"You guys go down and take a look!"

With this thought, he gave the soldiers beside him a look, signaling them to go down and check it out.

"Yes, boss!"

The mercenaries were very obedient.

After receiving Kunshi Qinawa’s order, they immediately walked down into the dark chamber with their guns.

"Ah!"

Not long after these armed soldiers entered the dark chamber, a scream suddenly erupted.

"Bang bang bang... bang bang bang..."

This was followed by a series of gunshots and more screams.

The screams left Kunshi Qinawa dumbfounded.

What’s going on inside this dark chamber?

How could there be so many unsettling screams echoing out?

Could it be... that something really unexpected happened?

Kunshi Qinawa rubbed his chin and frowned deeply.

He couldn’t get a read on the situation inside the dark chamber.

But judging from the gunfire and screams earlier, it’s highly likely that something went wrong.

If something like what happened at Koukang Tengxin Park occurs, he won’t be able to go home today—he might lose his life here entirely!

With this thought, he hurriedly backed up a few steps and prepared to have someone cover the iron door.

But just then, a series of rapid breaths came from inside the dark chamber’s passage.

"Huff... huff..."

"Boss, something happened below... save me..."

As footsteps grew closer, a camouflaged soldier staggered out of the passage.

Seeing his condition, everyone present took a sharp breath.

"Ah!"

Anlin couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

The soldier’s eyes were filled with fear and panic, and he was covered in fresh blood.

His left arm was missing, leaving only the right hand clutching his weapon tightly.

His right leg revealed a pale white bone, with the flesh seemingly gnawed away by something, leaving a series of bite marks.

Seeing the soldier’s appearance, Yang Qingshu’s eyes widened.

As expected!

Something strange had already happened in this dark chamber!

He had thought there was something off about the screams from the dark chamber.

The soldier’s current state confirmed his earlier suspicions.

"How... how could this be?"

Tongtai’s face turned ghostly pale.

The situation now was drastically different from what he had envisioned!

"What’s happened below?"

Kunshi Qinawa hurriedly asked.

"Save me... save me... boss..."

"He’s below... he’s coming up..."

The severely wounded soldier pleaded, his voice trembling, eyes bloodshot.

On hearing this, Kunshi Qinawa furrowed his brow deeper.

"Pull him up!"

He looked around and ordered the two soldiers next to him.

Being the boss of these mercenaries, it wasn’t his role to personally pull people up.

"Yes, boss!"

The two soldiers immediately stepped forward to pull up the wounded soldier.

Their extended hands reached for the wounded soldier’s only arm and the opposite shoulder.

But suddenly, the wounded soldier’s eyes went wide, and he let out a heart-wrenching wail.

After which, his body began rapidly sliding back down the passage steps.

It was as if something inside the dark chamber was forcibly dragging him down.

The two soldiers trying to pull him up quickly grabbed onto his body, barely stopping his sudden descent.

"He’s down there!"

"He’s bitten my foot!"

"Help me... help me..."

The wounded soldier cried and pleaded.

But the two soldiers felt an enormous force pulling from below.

It was like grappling with a grizzly bear... No, more like a giant elephant.

"No..."

With the wounded soldier’s last wail echoing from his mouth, he was swiftly pulled back into the dark chamber.

The two soldiers who were pulling him stumbled backward, eventually falling to the ground.

The soldier on the left had only torn off some cloth from the pull at the shoulder.

But the soldier on the right still held an arm in his hand...

"Ah!"

This scene made Anlin scream piercingly.

Then she rolled her eyes and fainted from fright.

Seeing this, Tongtai couldn’t dwell on what was happening inside the dark chamber.

He hurriedly stepped forward to support his sister. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Seeing Anlin drenched in cold sweat and her face ashen, he knew she was genuinely terrified!

"Quick, quick, quick... Close this iron door!"

Kunshi Qinawa jumped in fright, three feet high.

His face no longer bore any trace of smugness.

Only endless fear and dread.

After all, he was just a pampered politician who had never witnessed such bloodshed.

The scene that had just unfolded utterly shattered his mental defenses...
