## Story

Wu Xie managed to reach the exit before the moving floor gave way. The group then found a way out of the underground palace. When Su Nan joined her team, she found that Yao Wang was missing. Su Nan and Old Ma wanted them to go back down again, but Wu Xie disagreed finding it too dangerous. Su Nan's men went down, while Wu Xie made a plan in his tent.

Wang Meng restored more photos from the SD card. Wu Xie was looking at the tablet with the photos of the tour group that came before them. Li Cu wanted to look through them with the intent to find the man who looked like Wu Xie. At this time, Yang Honglu, asked him to fix her photos. Li Cu came up with a plan and told Wang Meng that he accidentally deleted all of Yang Honglu's photos. Wang Meng then used a software to restore them and Li Cu used this method to restore the deleted photo of the look alike. In a hurry, Li Cu stored the look alike photo on Yang Honglu's phone. Unfortunately, Yang Honglu took back the phone which now had a picture of someone who looked like Wu Xie in the tourist group.

Back in the tent, Wu Xie and Wang Meng were drawing out the plan of the palace. Wu Xie found that the underground palace was different from the seven finger map on Li Cu's back. He suspected that it was not the real Gu Tongjing. Ma Rila told them a story of a magical gem that could do practically anything, and this was what Old Ma was looking for. Li Cu tried to get the phone back but failed. Later in the evening, Su Nan came and told Wu Xie to see Old Ma. Old Ma was waiting for his plan, but Wu Xie did not have one yet. Old Ma was suspicious of Wu Xie.

Li Cu was more suspicious of Wu Xie. He confronted the other about photo saying that Wu Xie had come before with the other group. Wu Xie said he had never been here and the person in the photo was not him. At this time, only two of Su Nan's people came back and one was seriously injured. The third person was missing. Su Nan planned to go down with Wu Xie again and found his plan in Wu Xie's tent. After reading the floor plan, Old Ma also wanted to go down, and asked everyone to go down with him.

The next morning, the whole team set out for the underground palace. They were all connected to each other by a rope so that no one else would disappear. However, Zeng Ye disappeared anyway and Cai Tou tried to leave. They quickly heard him shouting and when they went back, they found that the rope ended at a stone statue. There was no way for them to head back. After walking for a while, Zeng Ye returned but did not know where he was.

The group found a room with many antiques which were architecturally arranged to replicate a pond. The floor could not be seen because of some type of fog. As a few members of the team walked around in the fog area of the room, spores started to grow on the mummies. One of the spores entered the eye of Shi Yi and her eyes became white in an instant.
