## Story

Wu Xie has another nightmare of his uncle, this time his uncle is trying to kill him. After being woken by Wang Pangzi they join Ning and Zhang Hao and discuss their upcoming dive to the underwater tomb. Wu Xie continues being suspicious of Zhang Hao.

Alone for a moment, Ning contacts her employer, Hendry Cox, and also voices her suspicions about Zhang Hao. Hendry Cox reminds her of the mission and her importance.

Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, Ning and Zhang Hao dive together, searching for the entrance to the underwater tomb. They find stone statues on the ground and decide to leave when one of the statues is slowly opening it's eyes. On their way forward, they see strange movements around them and start wondering what is going on. At the entrance they encounter strange moving hair and when a closed wall suddenly opens, they are shocked to find the skeleton of a dead diver behind it. A mysterious women in the water appears and they only manage to escape by Zhang Hao triggering the entrance and a siphon into the tomb.

They find themselves in a water pool in a side chamber of the tomb and start exploring. A vase suddenly starts shaking but turns out to be empty and they find a small tomb for babies. The vase starts moving to the door on its own again. They follow it and find themselves in a corridor. Seeing a partly open door at the end, they decide to follow the tracks. While carefully walking through the corridor, Ning triggers a trap on purpose and arrows are starting to rain down on them. Zhang Hao manages to keep Wu Xie saves but Ning escapes, after using Wu Xie as a shield.

After the trap finally resolved its attack, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi realise they were shot by non-lethal lotus head arrows. Zhang Hao reveals himself to be Zhang Qiling in disguise. Wu Xie wonders why Ning needed him in the tomb, as she might've made it into the tomb on her own capabilities. When returning to the side chamber, Wu Xie and the others realise it is not the same room as the one they came from. Wu Xie asks Zhang Qiling if he has been to the tomb before, considering he found the old photo of him, but Zhang Qiling does not remember but guesses he might have been in the tomb before.

The friends share their knowledge and old stories of a previous archaeological team which found underwater caskets but dared not to come into the tomb in fear of destroying it by breaking through and how some years later another archaeological team came to the tomb, including Wu Sanxing. They lost one of their members and found him on the share with a burned face later on. When brought to the ship, the man held a Snake Brows Copper Fish. This served as Wu Sanxing's proof that the guy had been inside the tomb. When asking what happened afterwards, Wang Pangzi concludes Wu Sanxing went into the water himself but they left halfway through due to some unknown reason. Wu Xie remembers the time his uncle returned sunburned and weak and was scolded by his grandfather and concludes it might've been the time he returned from the Paracel Underwater Tomb.
