242: The stone platform in the courtyard, the devil's tomb.

Meng Ziyi said anxiously: "Then what should we do? We can't just stay trapped here forever."

Yang Mi also showed a worried expression: "That's right, we still have many things to do."

Just as they were talking, the audience in the Live Stream Room had already exploded.

"Wow, this girl in ancient costume is so mysterious!"

"Is she really a Tomb Guardian? She feels so cool!"

"I wonder if they can find a way to leave, I'm so nervous."

"Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi are so beautiful, even in this situation they are still so charming."

"Ye Bai is so calm, he really is a Genius."

Ye Bai looked at the girl and said: "Since you are a Tomb Guardian, you must be very familiar with this place. Can you tell us some information about this place? Perhaps we can find clues to leave."

The girl hesitated for a moment and said: "This place is a Forbidden Ground, filled with many mechanisms and traps. It is truly fortunate that you have survived until now."

Meng Ziyi said with a bitter face: "We didn't want to come here either, it was all an accident. Now we just want to leave as soon as possible."

Yang Mi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, we don't want to disturb the peace of this place either."

The girl looked at them, a complex expression flashing in her eyes. She said slowly: "If you wish to leave, perhaps you can look for a place called the 'Land of Spirit Springs'. It is said that there is a Passage leading to the outside world there."

Ye Bai's eyes lit up: "Land of Spirit Springs? Do you know where it is?"

The girl shook her head: "I only know its name, not its location. But it is said that only those with pure hearts can find it."

Meng Ziyi muttered: "That's too abstract, how are we supposed to find it?"

Yang Mi thought for a while and said: "Perhaps we can look for clues from the places we have already passed."

Ye Bai nodded in agreement: "Hmm, that makes sense. Let's recall the route we took and see if there are any special places."

Thus, the three of them began to recall their experiences in the Mausoleum. They started from where the floor collapsed, passing through the Passage, Hall, Stone Steps, main Hall, Stone Chamber, and so on. As Ye Bai recalled, he drew their route map on the ground.

The audience in the Live Stream Room also offered their suggestions.

"You can check if there are any iconic objects."

"Maybe those luminous pearls have some special purpose."

"Could the bronze ding have clues?"

After some discussion, they found some potentially useful clues. For example, next to the coffin in the main Hall, there were some strange symbols; on the Sacrificial Altar in the Stone Chamber, the carved patterns also seemed to have some kind of pattern.

Ye Bai decided to return to the main Hall and the Stone Chamber to check those clues again. The girl looked at them and said: "I advise you to act with caution and do not trigger any more mechanisms."

Ye Bai nodded: "Thank you for the reminder. We will be careful."

After speaking, he took the two women and left, returning the way they came.

Along the way, they encountered many strange Murals, filled with various ferocious devils. There were both men and women, vivid, hideous, and evil. These Murals gave people a gloomy and eerie feeling, making one's hair stand on end. Even as bold as Meng Ziyi was, she couldn't help but shiver.

"What is this? It's too scary." She pointed at the Mural with a trembling hand.

"This must be a devil's Mausoleum," Yang Mi said.

Ye Bai nodded in agreement. They got closer and closer to the main Hall and Stone Chamber, feeling more and more that the surroundings were filled with a strong Aura of death. The air seemed to be permeated with the smell of rot, blood, and death, which was nauseating.

Ye Bai held his breath and quickened his pace.

They soon arrived at the main Hall.

This main Hall was completely opposite to the other two main Halls; the walls of the main Hall were all cast from metal. And in front of the main gate of the main Hall, there were two huge animal-shaped Statues.

They were a tiger-headed, snake-tailed beast, a two-horned Qilin, and a dragon-clawed, phoenix-beaked beast. Their bodies were majestic and powerful, exuding a strong and intimidating Aura.

In the center of these two Statues, there was a Sacrificial Altar. It was four or five zhang long, with a diameter of about half a chi, and appeared pale yellow.

The Sacrificial Altar was carved with intricate and exquisite patterns. At the very bottom of the Sacrificial Altar, there was a circular opening, pitch black inside, bottomless.

"Could this be the entrance to leave?" Ye Bai asked suspiciously. He looked around, but did not find any exit leading to the outside.

"Let's go in and take a look," he said, then raised his torch and stepped into the Cave first.

The light in the Cave was dim, and one could only barely distinguish the direction.

Meng Ziyi and Yang Mi followed behind, carefully stepping into the Cave.

Ye Bai held up his torch to illuminate the surroundings, and he discovered that the Cave was actually a sloping Passage. After turning a corner, a Stone Door appeared. The Stone Door was tightly closed and covered in dust.

Ye Bai pushed the Stone Door hard, but found that the door did not budge.

Meng Ziyi said in surprise: "This Stone Door is so sturdy, even we can't push it open."

Yang Mi observed carefully and suddenly said: "The structure of this Stone Door seems different from ordinary Stone Doors."

"Oh? What did you find?" Ye Bai asked with interest.

Yang Mi pointed to an uneven area on the upper left side of the Stone Door and said: "Look, there is a groove here. If you dig it out, this Stone Door will definitely be able to be opened."

Ye Bai leaned over to look and found that this area was indeed very uncoordinated.

Meng Ziyi immediately took out a shovel and dug hard.

Ye Bai also squatted down to help. While digging, he asked: "Why do this?"

Yang Mi explained: "Because in ancient times, human strength was far greater than it is now. Although this Stone Door is hard, if we work together, we should be able to pry it open easily."

Meng Ziyi also said: "Yes, yes, that's right, we can easily open this Stone Door."

Working together, the two finally pried open a gap in the Stone Door. Meng Ziyi took out a flashlight and shone it inside, immediately letting out a cheer: "Wahaha! There is really light inside!"

Yang Mi also said happily: "Let's go, let's go in and take a look."

The two jumped into the Cave, and Ye Bai followed closely behind.

This Stone Chamber was about several hundred square meters, the walls were all built of stone, and it looked very sturdy. Thick dust had accumulated on the ground, obviously abandoned for a long time.

Ye Bai walked to the wall and reached out to touch it. The wall felt ice-cold, very smooth, without any gaps.

"Strange. Since there is a Secret Chamber here, why is there no trace left behind?"

Yang Mi walked over, reached out to press the wall, and said: "These walls seem to be frequently washed by rain."

Ye Bai said: "You mean, the entrance to the Secret Chamber only appears on rainy days?"

Yang Mi smiled and said: "I was just guessing, you can also find the answer yourself."

Ye Bai smiled helplessly: "Forget it, let's figure out the specific situation of this Secret Chamber first."
