Chapter 181: Hidden Room

Chapter 181: Hidden Room

It was clear that everyone wanted to get more information from the aged woman but the latter sat on the stone pillar and said nothing. It was her silence or rather hostility that made the rest didn’t dare to force her.

Everyone wanted to get her to speak, but no one wanted to be the bad guy to force her. After all, that person might be taken revenge on by her. If what the woman said was true, then her survival chance would be very high. After all, this would be her second time there.

“What should we do now?” Someone asked.

The travellers were silent. Everyone knew that there had to be a secret behind this stone door. If they couldn’t find the mechanism to open it, they had to brute force it. But... who would do that?

Sometimes, it was not a good thing for there to be too many clever people. If they were newbies or not so clever, they’d be ramming themselves into the door already. Of course, the chance of them being killed by the monster was also high.

A mysterious wind picked up to blow away the dust on the door. The carving of the creature blurred. This was good. It lowered the mental pressure on the group.

The stone door was weaker than they thought. The four men picked up a medium-sized stone pillar and rammed it into the stone door. The door didn’t open like a normal door but fell back like a domino. It raised up a lot of dust.

The moment the door fell, the four immediately retreated. The dust eventually settled to reveal the secret behind the door. It was a stone stairs. From their angle, all they could see was the stairs curving upwards into the dark.

The young master waved away the dust and turned to the women. He nodded. “It’s your turn.”

That was the agreement before the men took down the door. The men would knock down the door, and the women would explore the space behind it first. In the nightmare realm, everyone was treated equally. When death was right before their faces, chivalry was nothing.

The three women gathered unwillingly together. Clearly, each one of them had their own plot. No one knew what was at the end of the winding stairs. The unknown was the scariest.

The tall man slowly walked towards the Loli girl to accompany her. When he was discovered, the girl shot him a look. The tall man instantly froze up and pouted sadly.

There was a rack about half a human tall in the middle of the room. The rack was fully white. It felt unique to one’s touch. It had great heat conduction. It didn’t feel like it was made from stone or metal.

A vessel larger than a basin was placed on the rack. After blowing away the layer of dust, milky-white coagulants were left inside the vessel.

The young master touched them and pressed them between his fingers. He then sniffed them and nodded. “It’s fat.”

Jiang Cheng very generously did a lot of things. His oily hands eventually hauled up a rope of an unknown material. The rope was covered in burned oil. Jiang Cheng didn’t seem to mind the oil. Everyone looked at him with admiration.

They were at the top of the building. The room had half-transparent walls. The centre of the room had a vessel with oily residual and a black rope...

With all the evidence, the function of this room was clear.

It was a lighthouse.

“Is this building a lighthouse?” Fatty thought of that too. The device in the middle of the room was a super giant candle.

The young master smiled, “The big brother is right but not accurate. Only this room is the lighthouse, but not the entire building.”

“Who would build such a big lighthouse for no reason?” Jiang Cheng mocked. “The builders might be backwards, but they are not dumb.”

Fatty felt embarrassed, and he suddenly wanted to cry.

Even the young master, who was an outsider, treated him better than the Doctor.
