According to the steps discussed between Poplar and the Lord of the Red Gate, Poplar has the greatest ability, and he is at the forefront and can deal with all emergencies.

And the Lord of the Red Gate is very knowledgeable, and he can guide Poplar at any time with his followers.

Tie Niu stayed at the end to monitor Zheng Xiangtai and his party.

Of course, Zheng Xiangtai and the others also understood this, but Bai Yang and the Red Gate Master had already taken the initiative to walk in the front without arguing, and even if they wanted to leave one person at the end, they would have nothing to say.

And as he gradually went deeper into the ground, Bai Yang's heart could be said to be nervous to the peak, just afraid that the monster that attacked Yu Qinqin yesterday would suddenly jump out from below. In his current state of climbing on the rope, it was simply difficult to dodge.

Thankfully, nothing happened.

As it drooped down, Poplar found that the crack in the ground became wider and wider as it went down - this had already been discovered when digging the hole, in fact, the hole they dug was less than ten meters, less than ten meters, because the width of the crack was more than fifty centimeters, so naturally there was no need to dig.

Poplar didn't notice anything unusual in the crevice, which was getting wider and wider the way down, but saw a few old roots crisscrossing the cracks.

That makes the poplar a little strange, because above this crack in the ground, or above this dungeon, there is not even a big tree, not even a small tree.

Quickly descending to a depth of twenty-five or six meters along the rope, it suddenly became clear to him, and Poplar lowered his head and saw that the ground was under his feet by the pillar of light of the light on the miner's hat above his head.

But because of the digging hole, a large pile of dirt was piled up right on the soles of his feet.

And as long as he lands on this pile of dirt, even if there are traps under his feet, it will not be easily triggered when he lands.

So the aspen gently and deftly loosened the rope and landed on the pile of dirt.

He looked around, and found that he was indeed in a rather large burial chamber, and the crack in the ground was tilted to one side at the top of the burial chamber.

And in the middle of the floor of the burial chamber, there is a sarcophagus that is not very large, and the sarcophagus has been opened, and the coffin lid is thrown on the ground on the side of the sarcophagus.

Looking at the ground under his feet, it was all paved with green bricks, at least from the perspective of the poplars, there were no organs on the ground.

The Red Gate Lord followed, climbed the rope and asked, "What's the situation down there?"

"I don't think there should be any mechanism on the ground, but I still have to ask the Red Gate Master to take a closer look!" said Poplar, still standing on the mound of dirt, just letting go of the seat where the rope was hanging.

The Red Gate Lord also jumped lightly and skillfully on the mound, standing side by side with the poplars, carefully examined the floor of the tomb, and finally nodded and said, "That's right, there is no mechanism on the ground!"

At this time, Zheng Xiangtai had also reached the top of their heads, and Poplar and the Red Gate Master walked down from the mound, letting Zheng Xiangtai and the others fall on the mound.

Lao Zhufeng followed closely behind Zheng Xiangtai, and as soon as he landed, he shouted: "Hurry! Let's see if my wife is buried under the mound!"

Poplar suddenly saved, and then it occurred to him that Yu Qinqin fell from the crack in the ground, and it must be under the vertical of the crack in the ground. It's just that when the hole was dug later, a large amount of soil was dumped, so Yu Qinqin's body was naturally buried underneath.

So a few people immediately started to do it, those who had a shovel used a shovel, and those who did not have a shovel were directly pulled by hand.

The pile of dirt was a lot of weight, but it didn't take long for it to reach the bottom of the dirt.

There was no corpse of Yu Qinqin, and there was nothing under the dirt.

"How is this possible? What about my wife's body?"

Lao Zhufeng frantically continued to pull the remaining dirt with his hands, but it was true, not to mention Yu Qinqin's corpse, under the pile of dirt, there was not even a trace of blood.

"What's going on? Falling from a height of more than thirty meters, shouldn't it be full of blood plasma?" Xu Xiang couldn't help but say.

Lao Zhufeng glared back, and Xu Xiang hurriedly said: "I'm telling the truth! Master Lao, think about it, anyone who falls from a height of more than thirty meters will definitely burst out of blood, right? But now, ...... If the ground is clean, it will be ...... Mrs. Law's body was dragged away by some monster, and that monster could still lick the ground clean, right?"

Xu Xiang was right, there was indeed no blood on the ground.

Of course, any blood stains will also be covered by the dirt, but the problem is that the dirt is all dry and floating on the ground, and it can be pulled away with a hand, and there is no trace of stickiness at all.

Poplar squatted on the ground and carefully investigated for a long time, but he also failed to find a trace of blood, not even the slightest trace of dragging on the ground.

His heart couldn't help but be full of doubts, and he looked at the Red Door Lord, who also frowned.

"Red Door Master, what do you think will happen?" asked Zheng Xiangtai.

"I don't know!" the Red Gate Lord shook his head, and looked up along the crack in the ground, "This crack in the ground gets narrower and narrower the higher it goes, making both sides of the crack tilt upward! And the soil on both sides of the crack is not very solid, it stands to reason that the monster that dragged Mrs. Lao down is very strong, but its own weight, plus Mrs. Lao's weight, these dirt can't bear it! What's more, when we just came down from above, we all carefully checked both sides of the crack, right? There are no traces of scratching and crawling on it!"

"What does the Lord of the Red Gate mean......" Zheng Xiangtai asked.

"I mean, we can't find any trace of Mrs. Law being dragged down now, just as the scene of Mrs. Law being dragged down last night never happened!" said the Red Door Master.

"But it did happen, we all saw it with our own eyes!" Sun Hao said, he had been an old fighter for decades, and he couldn't help but look left and right in shock at this moment, "What strange things are hidden in this underground palace, how can it be possible to drag Mrs. Lao down without leaving any traces?"

Everyone else looked at each other, and everyone had a look of horror on their faces.

"I think let's survey the surrounding situation, since we're down, we can't quit right away!" Li Da said.

When several people heard this, they immediately dispersed.

Before Li Da said this, Baiyang Tieniu had already walked away to investigate the tomb in front of him, and found that this tomb was boxy, with an area of about 20 square meters.

The cave is vertically on the side of the burial chamber, and in the middle of the burial chamber is the very conspicuous sarcophagus.

"The lid of this sarcophagus should have been lifted by my brothers and sisters!" Zheng Xiangtai said, and walked straight to the sarcophagus to take a look.

"There's nothing in there, and it's estimated that some things have also been taken away by Gongsun Xia or Master Zheng's brothers and sisters!" Bai Yang said lightly.

"Little Brother Bai is wrong with what he said, even if my brothers want to take it away, they will only take away gold and silver treasures, but there is not even a corpse in this sarcophagus, my brothers will not wrap up the corpse and take it away, right?" Zheng Xiangtai said.

Bai Yang heard that he was reasonable, so he could only shake his head, saying that he could not explain Zheng Xiangtai's question.

He had checked before, and there was no writing on the inner and outer walls of the sarcophagus. Iron Bull turned the lid of the sarcophagus on the ground over, and also made sure that there was no text or pattern inside or outside the sarcophagus lid.

"This sarcophagus material is not precious, it is likely that it is only used for large rice dumplings or the living dead, right?" Li Er said suddenly.

"That's good!" Zheng Xiangtai immediately said, "This is similar to the situation I encountered before! I entered a tomb of the prince of the Song Dynasty at that time, and there was a very simple tomb in it, and there was a very ordinary sarcophagus in the tomb.

"But what about the red-haired zongzi? Even if the red-haired zongzi was destroyed by several of Brother Zheng's junior brothers, it shouldn't even be left with bones, right?" Xu Xiang said.

"Here we are!" Poplar said suddenly, gesturing to the ground in front of him.

In the direction of his finger, there was a passage more than a meter wide, and at the entrance of the passage, there was a skeleton lying on its stomach.

The skeleton had no head, no arms, and only one of the two leg bones remained.

However, next to the bones, there are two arm bones and one leg bone.

Another skull, tumbling down at the feet of the poplar.

And the reason why Baiyang can be sure that this skeleton is the bones of Zongzi and not the bones of Zheng Xiangtai's brother is because this skeleton is too rotten. And Zheng Xiangtai's brother has been dead for only 30 years.

Zheng Xiangtai immediately squatted down, carefully examined the skeleton and other scattered bones, and quickly stood up and said, "Yes, this will definitely not be the skeleton of my senior brother! Presumably it was a few of my senior brothers who had a big fight with this zongzi, and finally cut off the head of this zongzi and cut off his arms and calves!"

He was right, Poplar and Iron Bull had encountered zombies more than once, that is, Zongzi, which is known as the inverted dou, and zombies could not be killed, so they could only cut off their heads and cut off their hands and legs to make them stop attacking humans.

Judging from the place where the bones were cut off, Zheng Xiangtai's brothers and sisters shot quickly and ruthlessly, and they can indeed be regarded as martial arts masters.

Poplar turned his head and saw that the Lord of the Red Gate was staring at one of the walls of the tomb in a daze, but the wall was also only made of green bricks, and there were no murals or anything like that.

"Lord Red Gate, what are you looking at?" asked Poplar as he walked over.

The Lord of the Red Door raised his hand and pointed. Poplar also looked over to the wall, and saw a long crack in the wall, as if there was a crack in the wall.

And the crack meandered along the walls of the tomb into the passage where the bones of the zombies lay on their stomachs.

"The master of the red door thinks that there is a mystery behind this green brick?" asked Poplar.

"I can't tell, it's just a little weird!" said the Red Door Master, pulling out a dagger and sledding off a few blue bricks on either side of the cracked crack.

Bai Yang and Tie Niu stepped forward to help, Zheng Xiangtai and the others didn't know what they were doing, and they all gathered around here.

But I saw that the green brick was pried open, and inside the crack, there was actually a thick tree root, which felt like this tree root was growing too fast and too thick, and the green brick outside was cracked.

"How can there be such thick and long roots here, and I don't see a big tree on it?" Li Er said.

Poplar looked up and couldn't help blurting out, "Look at the top!"

Everyone immediately looked up, but on the top of the tomb, there were five or six old tree roots climbing up and down.
