## Story

While playing in the snow, Wu Xie missteps and slides down the snowy hill, almost falling down a cliff. Wang Pangzi manages to grab him and a nearby tree and holds on to them. At the last moment, Chen Pi Ah Si pulls them both to safety. They are immediately reprimanded by the older man and nagged for their missing skills. During their conversation Chen Pi Ah Si reveals he is not here for the Heavenly Palace but is supposed to raid the royal tomb of the Emperor of Dongxia with Wu Sanxing, making them wonder if it is the same place.

They return to the camp and encounter Chen Pi Ah Si's men, Ye Cheng, Hua Heshang and Lang Feng. Thinking Chen Pi Ah Si might have more and different clues to the Heavenly Palace, Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi decide to follow his group. When talking with his apprentices, their help is declined.

Before being able to decide further where to go, Jason and his men show up. They ask Wu Xie for the map to Heavenly Palace but, not having the map, they refuse. Just when Jason resorts to violence, Ning shows up and stops him, telling him she is there to protect Wu Xie, as he is the one with the least experience in exploring. They all enter the hostel together and Jason gets interested when Wang Pangzi reveals Chen Pi Ah Si's identity.

When Ning reports to Hendry Cox she reveals her worries for Wu Xie's safety and not knowing where Chen Pi Ah Si stands. Hendry Cox reassures her that since Wu Sanxing asked for Chen Pi Ah Si's cooperation, Chen Pi Ah Si is unlikely to hurt Wu Xie. After Ning voices her doubts since Wu Xie seems to trust Wu Sanxing less than before, Hendry Cox agrees to send her more help. Stating the harsh climate of the mountain, Ning asks him to stay at the foot of the mountain.

The next day, Wu Xie learns Chen Pi Ah Si and his apprentices found a guide who is willing to go up the mountain, Shun Zi, and Wu Xie goes to meet him with their local guide and Hua Heshang. When they do not encounter him at his house, they leave Wu Xie to wait while their local guide goes to find Shun Zi and Hua Heshang goes to find the toilet. Wu Xie stares at the pictures of Shun Zi's father who went missing on the mountain and suddenly gets surprised by Shun Zi's return, shocked at how much the guy looks like his father.

Shun Zi agrees to take them up the mountain as long as they take his orders when in the snow. They immediately agree but try to convince him to start the tour as soon as possible and not wait two days as everyone else. Shun Zi refuses stating the mountain goddess is furious and they cannot go up the mountain. When Wu Xie does not want to give up, Zhang Qiling appears and tells Wu Xie a storm is coming. Their guide Da Shan jokingly reprimands Zhang Qiling for wearing such thin clothes if he knows a storm is coming but Wu Xie tells him not to worry about his friend. Wu Xie believes his old friend and asks Shun Zi when they can go instead. Shun Zi seems shocked at seeing Zhang Qiling and tells them they can go after the night as long as it is not foggy.

On their way to the camp, Da Shan reveals it was his father who took the last archaeological exploration team up the mountain and they did not return since, making him convinced waiting a few more days for the weather to improve is better.

The power at the hostel went out and Wang Pangzi welcomes them back. Everyone prepares for a nice night in and having a meal together, except for Jason and his men who take his order to go up to the mountain that night. Even after a warning from Ning, Jason refuses to listen and leaves. Chen Pi Ah Si leaves them all speechless after projecting that the next meal will have less mouths to feed. Ning tries to make Hendry Cox relent and not take their people into danger, but he refuses and tells her to stay on Jason's trail.

Nervous for the men who left, Shun Zi reveals to the team that there are beasts and unknown monsters on the mountain. Chen Pi Ah Si claims it might have been a man-made accident when the villagers bodies were found in pieces. They decide to tell each other more stories but when Shun Zi checks the weather he realizes the mountain got foggy. Their local guide tells them no one should go up the mountain tonight but Pan Zi secretly tells Wu Xie he will leave to find Wu Sanxing, thinking he might need his help. Ning also leaves.

When Wu Xie voices his worry for Ning, Wang Pangzi warns him to not dare to go outside. Wu Xie agrees. When Wang Pangzi tries to get Zhang Qiling to play a round of cards with him, Wu Xie reprimands him with a stare to not bother their friend. During the night, Wu Xie leaves the room. Zhang Qiling is revealed to be awake after Wu Xie left.

While Wu Xie wanders through the snow, Hendry Cox strikes a deal with Huo Xiangu. While investigation, Xie Yuchen receives an email with the message Wu Xie found in the underwater tomb of how Wu Sanxing left Xie Lianhuan to die and orders his helper, Jia Sha, to find out who sent it to them.

Lost in the fog, Jason's men get scared and one starts running, only his screams being heard. The other men also freak out about the beasts they are seeing. Ning finds Jason's group but is also surprised by the sudden sounds and movements around them. Ning orders them to split up.
