“Hey—!”

A sound mixed with the wind attracted the attention of both of them simultaneously.

To the right of the building's entrance stood a person, jumping and waving at them.

It was Fatty.

"Looks like they've found something," the Young Master suddenly said.

On the way back, Jiang Cheng glanced at the forest that the others had mentioned before. The edge of the forest was about a hundred meters away from the building. The trees on the outer edge were of normal size, but the further in you went, the more exaggerated their growth became.

You could even see the towering canopy of the trees at the very center from a distance.

They must have been dozens of meters tall.

The entire forest was shrouded in a peculiar atmosphere. The gaps between the trees were small, and looking into it from his position, it seemed as if black mist was swirling within.

It was like... the kind of mist he saw in the building at first, black, intangible, and possessing a texture similar to fine sand, which would dissipate with a gentle touch.

Seeing the doctor and the Young Master approach, Fatty hurriedly took a few steps forward and quickly said, "Come and take a look, they found something inside."

"What is it?" Jiang Cheng asked.

Fatty pursed his lips, glanced at the Young Master who was staring at him, then turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng and said, "A hidden door."

Led by Fatty, the three finally reunited with the main group at an inconspicuous corner.

The Biker Girl and the Rock Climbing Girl were huddled together, whispering to each other. Loli was staring at them with a dissatisfied expression. Behind her stood the 2-meter-tall man.

Despite his height, the man didn't give off a sense of power. Jiang Cheng had heard his voice before; it wasn't fierce or domineering, but rather a bit effeminate.

Noticing Jiang Cheng looking at him, the 2-meter-tall man was first taken aback, then turned his face away in embarrassment.

Then, Loli seemed to sense the tall man's predicament, patted his hand, then stood on tiptoe, trying to get close to the man, and said something.

The elderly woman sat on a stone pillar about 3 or 4 meters away from the hidden door, not saying a word. Because of the light, her expression was unreadable.

Seeing Fatty bringing the other two over, the Biker Girl and the Rock Climbing Girl consciously made way, and the door was now fully displayed in front of the two.

It was a stone door.

Located on the left side of the building, roughly within the search range of the Loli and the tall man, but judging from the current scene, it was likely snatched by the Biker Girl and her companion.

Logically speaking, this wasn't a big deal. After all, the mission had just begun, and the possibility of finding a crucial clue at this point was slim.

Moreover, the stone door was closed.

The stone door was made entirely of the crudest stone blocks, and there were still many traces of polishing on it. The overall tone was dark, and in the dim light, it presented a contrasting pale red color.

It gave the impression that the entire door had once been submerged in blood, and even after being salvaged and washed clean, blood had still seeped into it.

Fatty couldn't help but be startled by the thought that suddenly涌现ed in his mind.

He took a deep breath and took a few steps forward, so he could be as close to the doctor as possible. Ever since he stepped into this building, inexplicable thoughts had often jumped out uncontrollably.

He pinched his temples hard, thinking that after coming here, he might have been too afraid, his nerves were too tense, leading to constant wild thoughts.

It was all the woman's fault for telling such scary stories, which sounded like scenes from horror novels.

The Young Master turned his head, looked at the Biker Girl and her companion, and asked, "Did you try?"

"We tried to push it together a few times," the Rock Climbing Girl answered first, "but the door didn't move at all. It shouldn't be opened like this." The last sentence was not loud, it was just her speculation.

After all, this was a stone door that had been sealed for who knows how many years, even if it could be pushed open, it would probably require great strength.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and slowly stroked the door, especially the edge of the door缝. The Young Master took a few steps back and searched for any mechanisms near the broken stone pillars and rubble.

Just as Fatty was about to uncontrollably recall the things the woman had told, Jiang Cheng suddenly made a sound of "Hmm?"

This sound was very sudden, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Cheng took a step to the left, then looked at the door from an almost parallel angle close to the wall. After a few seconds, he changed 3 or 4 angles in succession, seemingly not getting a satisfactory answer.

But in the end, he still showed a suspicious expression.

"Did you find something?" the Biker Girl swallowed and asked.

She had studied it for a long time before Jiang Cheng and the others arrived, and didn't find anything special. It was just an ordinary stone door.

"There's something on the door," Jiang Cheng said, "It should be a carved pattern or something, but you can only feel it by touching it, you can't see it."

Before he finished speaking, almost everyone rushed up, and everyone scrambled to touch the stone door. Then, different colors appeared on everyone's faces.

There were indeed刻痕, but very shallow. You couldn't see them, you could only feel them by touching them.

The Young Master thought for a while, took a few steps back, grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and threw it on the stone door. In an instant, the刻痕 on the door appeared.

It was a creature with horns on its head, a stout body, and resembling a fish. Its body was covered with dense scales. Even more bizarre was that this thing had two pairs of bat-like wings behind it.

The top pair was larger, and the bottom pair was slightly smaller.

Without limbs, the positions of the limbs were fish-like fins, but stronger than ordinary fins. If he had to describe it, then Jiang Cheng felt that it should be a link in the evolution of aquatic creatures to terrestrial creatures.

It was unclear whether they had been磨掉ed or were never drawn in the first place, but in short, there were no organs similar to eyes. Near the area that was roughly the face, there was only a large mouth that almost split the entire body in half.

"What the hell is this thing?" The Rock Climbing Girl asked. Her eyes were wide. Up until now, she had completed 5 missions, and had seen many inexplicable things, but this was the most邪门.

Before, they had dealt with proper ghosts, most of whom were vengeful恶鬼, and a small number of whom were perverts in life, and became even more肆无忌惮 after death.

But this time... her throat rolled uncontrollably, and she couldn't help but think of the recording the elderly woman had mentioned. The person in the recording was clearly attacked by something.

And most importantly... that thing came out of the sea.
