## Story

Finding their way forward, the Iron Triangle meet Pan Zi and Shun Zi who went down the cliff to find Wu Xie. While taking a rest, Wu Xie asks Shun Zi about his uncle's message again. Shun Zi reveals he brought a team of hikers up the mountain a month ago, Wu Sanxing being one of them. When on the mountain, Wu Sanxing took Shun Zi to the side and asked him to deliver the message in exchange for money. When asked why Shun Zi didn't reveal his purpose earlier, he states he did not know who to trust, as well as him wanting to find his father, therefore coming with them. They wonder why Wu Xie would be the only one to understand the message immediately, as Wu Sanxing stated and they wonder whether it has something to do with dialects or fengshui.

Ning, Wu Sanxing and their men continue wandering through the endless tunnels and end up meeting Jason and his team. They wonder what the hidden mechanism between the endless tunnels is and how to escape. While taking a rest, they inspect Wu Sanxing's stomach and find the centipedes have bitten into his whole stomach area. Ning cuts them out and Wu Sanxing falls unconscious again.

Wu Xie and the others find a giant stone head serving as an entrance to another tunnel and the same signs they saw in the Paracel Underwater Tomb. They wonder who left it. Suddenly Zhang Qiling disappears again. They group continues forward anyway and finds various footprints, revealing others have already gone into the tunnel. They find themselves in a dark room full of vases of wine. Before Wang Pangzi can try one gulp of the wine, Pan Zi smashes it and reveals how the wine was made with a monkey fetus, called Monkey Head Liquor. Disgusted, they decide to go further and find another mark.

Xie Yuchen visits Uncle Hai, to find out more about the Heavenly Palace and Wu Sanxing and is directed towards Huo Xiangu instead.

Wu Xie and the others also make their way into the endless corridors and find holes in the walls, made by explosions. They go through the holes and find another mark. This time it is different from the others and they wonder whether it means it is safe to go this way or not. Pan Zi notes it might be tracing language but they struggle translating it. Suddenly they hear the centipedes again but are not attacked. Shun Zi almost transforms again but is taken out of his trance by the others. He reveals he heard a strange voice telling him they are in danger and taking control over him. They take the risk of moving down the marked direction and find another hole in the wall, leading to a room full of gold and treasures. Pan Zi and Wang Pangzi immediately start going through the artifacts, when Shun Zi suddenly finds six skeletons beside the gold. Shun Zi recognizes one as his father.

Knowing they won't be able to find their way out of the endless corridors alone, as they have no experience with tomb raiding, Ning and her group try to help Wu Sanxing to recover. Wu Sanxing regains consciousness and notifies Ning but asks her to keep it a secret from Hendry Cox, and asks her to think about why Hendry Cox wants to find the Heavenly Palace.

To keep Huo Xiuxiu safe, Huo Xiangu locks her in Huo manor.

Wu Xie and Pan Zi check the skeletons belongings to find out why they died at this place, while Shun Zi is mourning over his father. Wang Pangzi continues collecting the gold. They realize that the group of dead people ran out of food.
