Zhou Ziran and Zhou Ziyu had been reduced to nothing but bones, while Zhou Ziyun was better off, with an urn of ashes remaining.
The nine members of the Zhou Family worked together to completely clear the rubble from the passage, eventually digging their way to the great door.
None of the nine could spare a thought for what lay beyond it. They could only open it first and see. This time, Zhou Ke naturally stepped forward, gathering all his strength to push the door open.
Fortunately, no monster or strange sight appeared. There was only darkness and another passage.
Their hearts sank slightly. Could this underground passage really be so long that they would never reach the end? But they had no choice. If they wanted to get out, they could only keep moving forward.
This passage had originally been part of the ancient tomb. Lan Caijie had later added a door to block it off, then expanded the area into an Underground City.
Thus, many of the mechanisms originally in the passage had been removed by Lan Caijie, since they were of no real use.
Some had even been destroyed when Lan Caijie and Lan Caiyue fought the Strange Beasts back then, leaving the entire passage without a single mechanism.
Chen Mo had already passed through this place before, so nothing happened when the nine of them went through now.
Although all nine were Martial Artists, they moved through the passage with great caution. The Underground City had truly frightened them. Who knew whether a monster or some mechanism might suddenly appear after one harmless step? There was no harm in being careful.
The passage was not long. Before long, they arrived at another great door.
