**Episode 4 (The Lost Tomb 2.5)** is the fourth episode of the television series The Lost Tomb 2: Explore with the Note.

## Story

Wu Xie and his friends explore the underground tomb, Wu Xie reminding them to be careful about the dangers Kua Xiong explained to them. With his headaches getting worse, Zhang Qiling warns them to hurry as he feels it is getting dangerous. Wu Xie suspects the magnetic field of the stones is affecting them more and more.

After falling down, Zhang Qiling checks his phone, surprising Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi by suddenly having technology. They take Kua Xiong's advice and crawl forward, hoping to escape the cave's effects but end up breaking down. They decide to return and after Wang Pangzi leaves behind his watch, they try again.

Wu Xie starts experiencing hallucinations of his uncle and Xie Lianhuan in the Paracel Underwater Tomb. Wu Xie suggests giving up this way. Wang Pangzi enters a side chamber and suddenly manages to get up from the floor. Zhang Qiling and Wu Xie follow him and they finally manage to get away from the magnetic field. They find the Sacrificial Scepter and figure Zhang Qiling's headaches came from the Scepter and its radioactive origins. Wang Pangzi finds a myterious artifact and takes it off its pedistole, activating a mechanics. The cave starts shaking and they decide to flee. When picking up his watch, Wang Pangzi realizes only half an hour had passed. After leaving the tomb, Zhang Qiling suddenly disappears. Thinking he might have his own reasons, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi start analyzing the scroll Wang Pangzi took. Wu Xie figures it revolves around the Kun Lun Snow Mountains.

Wu Xie finds bomb remains besides the tomb entrance, just as they are attacked by burning arrows from the villagers, making them wonder why they are being attacked again. They flee and Wu Xie is unable to grab the scroll about the Kun Lun mountains. They are surrounded by villagers, just when Ning and her men make an appearance. They protect themselves with gas masks and throw gas bombs, knocking the villager, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi unconscious.

When Wu Xie wakes up in his home, Ning returns the scroll to him and receives a call from Hendry Cox. Hendry Cox offers him to work together instead of working with his uncle and appeals to him regarding Wu Sanxing's betrayal. Hurt and angry, Wu Xie sends Ning away, despite her trying to be friendly. After Wang Pangzi comes to visit, Wu Xie receives a surprise call from Wu Sanxing asking him to meet in Sheng Xin Ju.

Xie Yuchen continues his investigations of the real events behind the Paracel Underwater Tomb and the Snake Brow Copper Fish.

Wu Xie goes to see his uncle but Wu Sanxing ends up aggravating Wu Xie by mentioning Guizhou and reminding Wu Xie how he betrayed him. To calm him, Wu Sanxing shows him an ancient bottle but fails when Wu Xie smashes the bottle in anger. They continue fighting and Wu Sanxing gives the Silk Manuscript he got from Hendry Cox to his nephew and assures him that they are still important to each other. Wu Xie starts doubting his uncle, especially after Wu Sanxing offers him to work together and go to the Heavenly Palace together. Still, Wu Xie agrees to the deal. After returning home he remembers how Hendry Cox warned him of Wu Sanxing inviting his nephew to go to the Heavenly Palace together and how his uncle might still want to hurt him.

Xie Yuchen meets up with Wu Sanxing and Wu Sanxing asks him to lend him his Snake Brow Copper Fish, claiming he will be more confident in finding the Heavenly Palace if he had the artifact. Xie Yuchen reveals he knows Wu Sanxing is working with Hendry Cox and refuses. Just after Wu Sanxing leaves, Xie Yuchen receives a call about his hideout having been robbed of the Snake Brow Copper Fish. When checking the security camera, they see Chen Pi Ah Si breaking in.

While Wu Xie is working on the Silk Manuscripts, he gets a call from Xie Yuchen, offering his help for the exploration to the Heavenly Palace. After Wu Xie declines, Xie Yuchen relents and gets Wu Xie to agree to a tracking device on him, so his friend can find him if he is ever in danger.

Ning meets with Wu Xie and asks him to take a communication device with him, so she can warn him about Jason's movements, not trusting the stranger. She tries to convince him, assuring him it might not be bad to have a back-up plan. Wu Xie takes the device with him and gets on the train to the Changbai mountains with Wang Pangzi. Wu Xie reveals to his friend how he found an image of the Dragon Vein in Changbai mountains as well as his grandfather's notebook.
