However, after listening carefully, the sound seemed to come from some sort of wooden box. There were also similar sounds coming from the roofs of the houses nearby.

”Brother Zhou, could it be that there are a lot of people here?”

”I don't think so. Let's go and take a look!”

”Ah?” We still need to go and take a look!? ”

Hearing my words, the large board already had a pained expression on it, but I ignored it and headed straight for the stairs to the house.

After hearing about the technique from Zhang Zikong, I had looked it up on the internet. After the founding of the Kingdom of Ancient Yunnan, the people of the surrounding countries had indeed been transformed into people who controlled the surrounding countries. However, the lifespans of those people were not long, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

Even if the people who came in earlier were all turned into humans by some unknown sorcery, there still wouldn't be this many. So I directly climbed up the stairs to the roof.

It was unknown what kind of wood this old-fashioned wooden ladder was made from. Although it was very old, it could still be used. It was just that the creaking sound it made while stepping on it made people worry that it would collapse at any time.

When I reached the roof, I found nothing on it but what looked like a small altar. At the same time, the big board also climbed up the stairs.

Strange, there's nothing above, then where did that sound come from?

As I was climbing up the stairs, the sound disappeared, so I crept towards the back of the altar.

However, when I went to the back of the altar, I was shocked to find that there was a person seated behind the altar! No, to be exact, it was a mummified corpse! A desiccated corpse with skin as dry as tree bark!

Judging from the way that person was dressed, he should be one of the last people to barge in. But we couldn't find any other cave near the bronze door. Could it be that they came from somewhere else? Or perhaps, they knew of the method to open the bronze door?

This thought only lasted for a moment in my heart, because I saw an open wooden box beside him. In his hand, there was even a small booklet!

The box was empty, but what really caught my interest was the book in that person's hand.

Zhang Zikong's whereabouts were unknown, and now that we have strayed away from Xu Man, that also means that Big Board and I can only rely on ourselves.

If we can find any description of this place in the booklet, it will undoubtedly increase our chances of survival by quite a lot. If the map for their entry is recorded in the booklet, then this booklet will undoubtedly be something for us to save lives!

However, just as he was walking towards the dried corpse, he suddenly heard a sound of wood breaking, followed by the sound of a large board falling to the ground and his grumbling, ”Oh my, I fell to my death!”

The wooden ladder was old to begin with. With the heavy iron rod on the back of the wooden ladder, it was reasonable that the wooden ladder could not bear his weight. However, the sound created when the large board fell was not small in this silent underground world!

Furthermore, just as the grumbling of the big board was about to start, I heard the weird sound from before. It unexpectedly started once again! And it came from the body of the mummy in front of me!

That sound was like something grabbing onto a wooden board, causing one to feel goosebumps!

F * ck, could it be that this person is hiding something inside his body?
