## Story

Wu Xie fights against the hairy beast and manages to set it on fire. Exhausted he is suddenly faced with the snake again and bitten in the hand. He is about to lose consciousness and carves something into the stone floor.

He awakes two hours later with Xie Yuchen looking after him. Fortunately, the snake fang did not go through Wu Xie's skin, so not much venom entered his system and he survived. They ponder about Wu Xie's last message: 189652802200059. Xie Yuchen realizes it is the only part of coding he did not understand on the yellow silk he acquired, as well as the registration number of Hendry Cox's company. They decide to delay this riddle for the future and use the rope to cross the clay pots. The find themselves confronted with a bronze Crypto module, a giant ball of bronze with chains running out of it. They realize it to be the control mechanism of all the traps for the Zhang family.

They decide to number the chains and soon realize they need to pull the main five chains in the correct order for the module to reveal the correct code to them and show them the correct relief. Wu Xie goes on pulling the chains, while Xie Yuchen keeps notes of the codes they tried before. Like this, they unlock the first code and when returning to the relief room see a new relief, corresponding to the one on the door in Banai, pulled forward with some of the tiles protruding from the others. They send a photo to the other group. The team in Banai presses the tiles which are shown protruding in the photo. Right after pressing the first one, Zhang Qiling stops Wang Pangzi while asking him if he is sure this will work, scaring Wang Pangzi until Zhang Qiling tells him to continue. Wang Pangzi tells the team to take a photo of them in front of the door to show to Wu Xie and sends a message of him complaining about Zhang Qiling's mean but rare prank.

Continuing past the first door, the Banai team comes acrosse floor plates with Hou statues lining each side. Zhang Qiling activates the first plate and the floor catches fire. Together with Wang Pangzi he moves forward but they are forced to retreat when throwing weapons come out of the Hou statues. Wang Pangzi asks his friend if his family did not teach him a special combination to cross the plates, when Zhang Qiling suddenly thinks of his martial arts training. He repeats his fighting routine on the plates and successfully manages to cross and arrive at the second door.

Now that they know how to unlock the reliefs, Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen solve the relief for the second door and send the photo to the group in Banai. The exploring group passes the second door and find themselves in a cold room with a plate of ice jade on the floor, which is usually used for slowing down decomposition of corpses. They use special powder to further inspect the image on the ice jade and find the picture of the Qilin stepping on ghosts from the Ghost Seal. Zhang Qiling took the Ghost Seal with them on the adventure and detect that three of the ghosts on the seal are missing heads which they need to correspond to the image before them. As soon as they find it, Zhang Qiling activates the first one by using his elongated fingers to press triggers inside their eyes. The wall reveals an opening. After triggering the second mechanism, a stone plate is elevated into the room. Zhang Qiling takes one of their food cans and puts it on the stone plate. When triggering the third mechanism, the stone plate takes the food can down with it. Wondering what this means and knowing one of them should inspect where the stone platform goes, Zhang Qiling activates the mechanism again and jumps down into the unknown. Wang Pangzi tries to go after him but fails to trigger the mechanism. The stone platform returns and they find the food can engulfed in amber. Understanding his friend cannot breathe when he is engulfed in amber as well, Wang Pangzi desperately searches for his friend. They continue waiting for a sign when suddenly the platform is raised again and reveals Zhang Qiling engulfed in amber, as they feared. They try to break the amber but are unsuccessful until Wang Pangzi realizes that Zhang Qiling took his sword out of the scabbard for a reason. Wang Pangzi manages to break the amber and Zhang Qiling starts breathing again. They send a photo of the next door to the other team with a note to hurry, since they are in a freezing cold room.

After reading the note of their friends, Wu Xie and Xie Yuchen hurry down to the mechanism of the third lock. Wu Xie notices a loose stone tiles and starts worrying, as such buildings are normally build to stand for a long time and do not just get loose. Still they start their usual procedure. Right after pulling the first chain, a trap is activated. Some of the clay pots break and corpse bugs are released. They run but Wu Xie hesitates as they need the relief for the third lock. They use the confusion of the corpse bugs and return to the corridor, only for them to realize it to be a different corridor. They continue further and find a module they had not worked with before, further proving this to be a new room. Suddenly Hei Yanjing appears.
