But if even this skeletal senior had failed, who had sealed the monster?
Su Jiu had a faint inkling of the answer, but without confirmation, she chose to remain silent.
Could someone as astute as her Junior Granduncle have failed to think of it? Of course not. He had simply also chosen to seek the final evidence to prove their suspicions.
Su Jiu thought that perhaps the Third Level held the answer they wanted.
Su Jiu and Chu Luohen carefully avoided triggering any of the nearby nodes or mechanisms. Even those unrelated to the sealed demon beast were not something they dared take lightly.

Then she and her Junior Granduncle really would be serving themselves up as food for that demon beast.
