218: A complex web of deception, a bombshell within a bomb.

Ye Bai stared at the strange symbols on the coffin lid, falling into deep thought.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi stood nervously to the side, not daring to make a sound.

Zhang Dada, on the other hand, kept muttering beside them, "What exactly is in this coffin? I'm dying of curiosity."

Ye Bai frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Everyone be quiet, don't make a noise." Zhang Dada immediately shut his mouth, but his eyes were still filled with urgency.

After a while, Ye Bai seemed to have some clues. He spoke slowly, "These symbols might be a code; we need to find a way to crack it."

Yang Mi asked curiously, "Then how do we crack it?" Ye Bai didn't answer immediately but continued to observe the surrounding environment.

At this moment, a mysterious aura filled the Tomb Chamber.

Ye Bai's gaze fell upon the surrounding gold and silver utensils, and he suddenly thought of something.

"These utensils might hold clues."

As he spoke, he began to carefully examine those gold and silver utensils.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi followed suit, and although Zhang Dada was somewhat reluctant, he didn't dare to disobey Ye Bai's orders. They found some tiny scratches on the utensils that seemed to have some connection to the symbols on the coffin lid.

Ye Bai carefully studied these scratches, trying to find a pattern.

Yang Mi watched from the side and couldn't help but say, "Ye Bai, you're really amazing to find clues so quickly."

Ye Bai glanced at her without speaking, but in his heart, he was complaining: This woman only knows how to say nice things and doesn't know how to use her brain to help.

After some effort, Ye Bai finally cracked the code.

He carefully pushed the coffin lid, which made a dull sound. Everyone stared nervously at the coffin, wondering what would be inside.

When the coffin lid was completely opened, a stale scent wafted toward them.

Inside the coffin lay a corpse wearing Golden Armor, with some precious treasures placed beside it.

Zhang Dada shouted excitedly, "Wow, there really is treasure!"

Ye Bai, however, did not let the treasure before him cloud his judgment. He said calmly, "Don't move recklessly; these treasures might have a mechanism." Zhang Dada retracted his hand helplessly, muttering, "You're always so careful."

Yang Mi looked at the corpse in the coffin and said with some fear, "Who is this? Could it be the Golden Knight?" Ye Bai nodded, "It's very likely." He carefully observed the Golden Armor on the corpse and found some strange symbols on it as well.

Ye Bai fell into deep thought. What exactly did these symbols represent? He felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth, but it also seemed as if a layer of mist separated them.

Just then, a strange sound suddenly came from the Tomb Chamber. Everyone grew tense and looked around. Zhang Dada said in terror, "There couldn't be more danger, could there?"

Ye Bai said calmly, "Don't panic, let's see what's happening first."

They discovered the sound was coming from behind the wall.

Ye Bai walked to the wall and tapped it lightly with his hand, finding it was hollow. He guessed there might be a Secret Room behind it.

Ye Bai began searching for the mechanism to open the Secret Room. After some effort, he finally found a hidden button in a corner. He pressed the button gently, and the wall slowly opened, revealing a dark Passage.

Everyone hesitated about whether to go in. Zhang Dada said, "Could this be too dangerous? What if there's something terrifying inside?"

Yang Mi was also a bit worried, "Yeah, Ye Bai, should we go in?"

Ye Bai was silent for a moment and then said firmly, "Let's go in. We've already come this far; we can't give up."

They carefully walked into the Passage. A damp scent filled the Passage, and a faint light flickered on the walls. After walking for a while, they found a door ahead.

Ye Bai pushed open the door, revealing a huge room inside. Various strange instruments and books were placed in the room.

Yang Mi said in surprise, "What is this place? It looks so mysterious."

Ye Bai also felt quite confused and began to carefully examine those instruments and books.

They found some records about the Golden Knight in the books.

He had hidden his treasure away, hoping that one day it would be found by someone destined to use it to rebuild the country.

Ye Bai looked at these records, and a sense of respect welled up in his heart. He decided to continue exploring, find the Golden Knight's treasure, and fulfill his final wish.

Just as they were about to continue forward, an alarm suddenly sounded in the room. Everyone was thrown into a panic, not knowing what had happened.

Ye Bai said calmly, "Don't panic, it's possible we triggered some mechanism."

They searched everywhere for an exit but found that the door had already been locked. Zhang Dada said in despair, "We can't get out! What do we do?"

Yang Mi was also pale with fright. Ye Bai, however, did not give up and continued to search for clues.

After some effort, Ye Bai finally found a way to turn off the alarm. They breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts were still filled with worry.

Ye Bai led everyone forward. They found a staircase leading underground in the room.

They followed the stairs down and arrived at an even more mysterious place.

There was an Underground River here, its water shimmering with a strange light. On the opposite bank was a massive door with mysterious symbols carved on it.

Zhang Dada asked doubtfully, "Could there be another legacy of the Golden Knight here?"

Yang Mi said, "Let's go find it quickly!"

Ye Bai shook his head, pointing at the door across the way, "That is a mechanism."

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment, then said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Ye Bai said calmly, "Because you didn't ask me to remind you." Yang Mi was momentarily speechless and glared at him crossly for a few seconds.

Ye Bai said with a grin, "Actually, I was just blindly guessing. I thought there might be some treasure here too, but it turned out to be a mechanism." Zhang Dada patted his chest and said, "Fortunately, it was just a blind guess. If there really were treasure, wouldn't we be rich?"

Yang Mi said crossly, "How can someone be as optimistic as you! We'd better be careful."

Zhang Dada sighed and said, "I'm not a fool, you know. I know there's definitely danger here, which is why I've been hiding behind Ye Bai."

Yang Mi ignored him and turned toward that Stone Door, with Ye Bai following close behind. The two of them arrived before the Stone Door, and Yang Mi looked left and right before suddenly reaching out to grab the keyhole of the Stone Door.

Ye Bai grabbed her wrist, stopping her action. "Don't move recklessly, watch out for a trap."

Yang Mi shook off his hand and said, "You're too cowardly!" She took out her Dagger and thrust it sharply into the keyhole.

"Click!"

The key turned, and Yang Mi said excitedly, "It's open! Hurry across!" She pushed the door open.

Ye Bai immediately stopped her, frowning as he said, "Wait, don't you think it's too quiet?" Yang Mi stopped and looked at her surroundings; it was indeed a bit eerie.
