The final group to enter the 5 Parts Tomb was led by Yu Su-rin.
The successors had the chance to decide on the exploration staff they needed to hitch.
Regardless of the strain of being first, few needed to be the final to enter.
The variety of volunteers for Yu Su-rins staff was restricted. They had been both near her or didnt thoughts being final on account of their easy-going nature.
Yu Su-rin had no shut buddies. She braced herself for the chance that nobody would be a part of her staff.
Fortuitously, that bitter situation didn’t occur.
Hmm.
Younger Girl Yu, please take a relaxation.
Diancangs Lightning Flash Yu Tae-jin and Zhongnans Flowing Cloud Flying Dragon Lee Jae-il joined Yu Su-rins staff.
They volunteered for Yu Su-rins staff virtually concurrently and had been stunned to see one another there.
Each had expressions suggesting they hadnt anticipated the opposite to use for this staff.
Would you want some water?
Ive had some.
How about meals
Sure, Ive eaten. Im fairly full.
For some motive, Yu Tae-jin and Lee Jae-il had been chilly to one another, as if in rivalry.
There was one other one that watched Yu Su-rin flanked by these two, wanting as if he discovered the state of affairs amusing.
It was Noh Shik of the Beggars Gang.
Lee Jae-il locked eyes with Noh Shik.
Why are you choosing your nostril so disgustingly?
A beggar can decide his nostril too.
Noh Shik had been choosing his nostril even when he first volunteered for Yu Su-rins staff.
Yu Tae-jin and Lee Jae-il frowned at this, however Yu Su-rin welcomed Noh Shik.
Not all members of the Beggars Gang had been distinctive, however the distinctive ones had been resourceful.
And, as Yu Su-rin anticipated, Noh Shik was quick-witted.
Because of Noh Shik, weve made it right here safely. We’re very lucky.
Dont reward me an excessive amount of. If Younger Girl Yu hadnt recognized these issues true nature, we’d have been in grave hazard.
They rapidly handled the shock assault of the Hungry Ghost Parasite.
Yu Su-rin recognized their nature, and Noh Shik discovered an answer.
It was to stuff their mouths with dry rations on the spot.
The 4 of them had been all elites, so two blocked the narrowest a part of the passage, back and front.
The opposite two stuffed their mouths with meals and water, taking turns in order that others may eat too.
Consuming as a lot as doable was 100 instances higher than losing it.
After all, that wasnt all.
Noh Shik was a wonderful member of the Beggars Gang, and as a lot a beggar as one might be.
He didnt have a perfume pouch like Yi-gangs celebration, however wore garments smelly sufficient to cowl the scent of meat.
The lowered bulk of the dry rations went into Noh Shiks possession.
Hehe, come to think about it, I ought to return these now.
Noh Shik distributed the wrapped bundles of dry rations from his pocket to everybody.
Yu Tae-jin and Lee Jae-il obtained their share with expressions of deep dislike. It appeared they must endure Noh Shiks stench each time they ate.
Wait a second.
Yu Su-rin interrupted their chatter.
As her expression hardened, the remainder of the teams gazes additionally turned icy.
They cautiously drew their weapons.
Swoosh
Who’re you, approaching us so stealthily?
As Yu Tae-jin stated this, folks emerged from the opposite finish of the passage.
Hwa So-so was on the forefront.
Apologies. Weve additionally had a tricky time.

However extra stunning than that may have been the frustration of narrowly lacking the Earth Shattering Finger.
You arrived earlier than us.
Sure. We had been ready to see if anybody else would come.
Yu Su-rin responded to Hwa So-sos muttering.
For some motive, Namgung Shins group and Yu Su-rins group had ended up assembly right here.
The doorway was blocked.
That is
What awaited Yu Su-rins group, who had simply arrived, was a big iron door.
It had no deal with, and pushing didnt open it, so they’d no alternative however to attend.
There was an indication that stated The Gate of the Yellow River.
On the tip of Yu Su-rins finger, on the prime of the iron door, was an irritating phrase.
The Gate of the Yellow River
Hwa So-so frowned.
What weird factor could be ready for them inside?
The place Earth and Water meet. Is that why they name it the Yellow River, as a play on phrases?
The Yellow River was an enormous river that ran via the northern a part of the Central Plains.
True to its title because the muddy river, its waters had been a yellowish-brown, combined with mud.
When it rained closely, the muddy waters appeared threatening, as if they might cowl the earth.
It doesnt look like only a play on phrases.
Huh?
Strive urgent your ear in opposition to the iron door.
Hwa So-so adopted Yu Su-rins suggestion with a skeptical look.
She felt the chilly contact of the iron door in opposition to her cheek, and shortly her expression hardened.
Burble-burble.
The sound of water might be heard.
It was tough, just like the Yellow River on a wet day.
Creak
Surprisingly, the iron door easily slid open.
The door is open!
That which wouldnt open regardless of how a lot we pushed
Noh Shik and Yu Tae-jin had been amazed.
They moved beside Hwa So-so to push the iron door.
Because the heavy iron door slowly opened, folks flocked in the direction of it.
Inside was a pitch-black cave.
With the opening of the door, the faint sound of water grew louder.
Whoosh
A moist wind blew in, carrying the odor of water.
The lights are turning on.
It appeared {that a} mechanism had been triggered by the opening of the door.
Oil flowed from the partitions on both aspect of the cave and ignited.
Yi-gang admired the looks of the moss, which appeared to have snowflakes settled on it.
Since getting into this place, a transparent perfume had been noticeable.
At all times nice to odor, it was the scent of an elixir.
Theres additionally a moss-shaped elixir Moyong Jin murmured.
As he stated, the White Lotus Moss was a uncommon and beneficial elixir.
Though not as treasured as the interior elixirs of the Golden Flower Carp, it was nonetheless a tough merchandise to surrender.
Nonetheless, Yi-gang spoke decisively, Absolutely, theres nobody petty sufficient to need to take this moss with them.
Tang Eun-seol, So Woon, Moyong Jin.
None of them raised their palms.
Thats a reduction.
Yi-gang thought once more.
It was extra vital for the exploration staff to have fewer members, however ones that shared the identical spirit.
All of them had been in settlement with Yi-gang. It was lucky they’d fashioned a small group.
Nonetheless, the issue was that Yi-gang had no intention of simply leaving.
However!
He grabbed Moyong Jins shoulder as he was about to proceed via the passage.
However?
A bewildered Moyong Jin.
Yi-gang spoke with a severe expression.
Forsaking that elixir can be simply as silly.
You say one factor after which one other.
Do you could have an issue with it?
No, not if we will take it with us.
Moyong Jin hesitated.
Tang Eun-seol additionally nodded in settlement.
The White Lotus Moss is treasured sufficient for use in making one of many Tang Clans Eight Nice Poisons. How its used is a secret, although.
Utilizing it to make poison is an effective factor?

There have been two folks educated about mechanisms and hidden weapons.
Yi-gang and Tang Eun-seol had already analyzed the mechanisms put in right here.
Look, the ground of the passage is hole. It appears to sink if pressed.
Its a weight-sensitive mechanism.
What in regards to the aspect the place the White Lotus Moss is?
Its not weight-sensitive. The mat the place the White Lotus Moss is positioned has wires wrapped round it. It appears like they’ll break if touched.
Judging by the marks on the ceiling, it doesnt appear to be a grate however moderately a complete iron wall that comes down.
Tang Eun-seol leaped to the ceiling and hammered a steel spike into it.
Its strong steel.
As soon as it comes down, it cant be opened.
It doesnt appear to be operated by gears, simply mounted with a latch.
So, if touched, it falls down with a thud?
Whereas Yi-gang and Tang Eun-seol exchanged this dialogue, So Woon watched blankly. He and Moyong Jin truthfully had nothing to do.
Yi-gang approached So Woon, who was misplaced in thought.
Its because of you.
Me?
Yi-gang patted his chest flippantly.
The Wooden field inside.
Their encounter with the White Lotus Moss on this place was additionally because of So Woon.
So Woon lastly smiled.
Its about your brief spears.

What are they product of?
So Woon carried two brief spears. Initially launched as brief staves, however when twisted on the prime, spear blades popped out.
Product of ten-thousand-year-old chilly iron.
At that, Moyong Jin and Tang Eun-seols eyes widened.
Two brief spears product of ten-thousand-year-old chilly iron. They had been undoubtedly treasured objects.
So Woon appeared flustered as if he had misspoken, however Yi-gang didnt thoughts.
Will you assist me with one thing?
H-how can I assist?
Yi-gang defined his plan.
Upon listening to that his sword would even be used, So Woon may solely nod.
Dont fear.
So Woon picked up considered one of his brief spears and stood by the best wall of the passage.
The opposite brief spear was taken by Yi-gang, who stood on the left aspect.
Exactly, hammer it into the aspect of the ceiling.
Obtained it.
One, two!
Yi-gang and So Woon leaped up and forcefully hammered the brief spears into the partitions of the passage.
Then they grabbed onto the wall and the brief spears, hanging from them.
Yi-gang appeared again and stated, Younger Girl Tang, had been prepared.
Watch out. Im taking it now.
Tang Eun-seol, standing in entrance of the White Lotus Moss, issued the warning.
As she ripped off the mat the place the White Lotus Moss grew, a snapping sound occurred, and an iron wall fell from the ceiling of the passage.
Koo-woong!
Nonetheless, the iron wall, which ought to have blocked the passage, was caught by the brief spears hammered into each side.
Moyong Jin and Tang Eun-seol rapidly slipped via the hole that didnt shut utterly.
Yi-gang and So Woon instantly retrieved the brief spears and sprang away.
Uwaaah!
Whoa!
The 2 rolled on the ground and entered the within of the passage.
Lastly, the iron wall blocked the passage.
Kwaaang!
It was a deafening sound that made their ears ring.
So Woon lay on the bottom, catching his breath.
Whew, that was dizzying.
Thanks, it was useful.
So Woon smiled and obtained his brief spear again. The thick brief spear, product of ten-thousand-year-old chilly iron, was sturdy sufficient to help the iron door and didnt even obtain a scratch.
Yi-gang rapidly stood up and approached Tang Eun-seol.
Lets take a more in-depth look.
Right here you go.
Tang Eun-seol held the mat of the White Lotus Moss in her palms.
It was as superbly pure as freshly made white rice cake.
There was additionally lots for the 4 of them to share.
