Here comes the second update! Please support in any way you can!

Among the six people, a tall, thin man who had been silent all along took out a bottle of medicine from his pocket and threw it over.

Lin Qing noticed that this man had long, slender fingers like a surgeon.

Gang Lao Da noticed Lin Qing's gaze and sneered, "This is the doctor. A top student."

The man gave Lin Qing a cold glance, and in his eyes, Lin Qing saw a hint of pathological madness, as if he wanted to dissect his body.

"Doctor is the most deranged member of our team," Tie Gou chuckled. He enjoyed seeing the terror on others' faces, which made him feel like a god.

Li Meilin and Yan Ran indeed turned pale.

But Lin Qing swallowed a pill from the bottle.

The muscles in his leg, which had lost sensation, immediately felt a cool sensation.

Lin Qing's heart tightened, and he looked at the doctor without showing any emotion.

Indeed, this is a large team.

They even have a professional doctor and C-level antidotes.

This potent zombie poison would have left me helpless, but in the Hong Gang team, it can be cured.

This is the difference in strength.

However, if I want to carry out that plan...

The doctor must die!

Lin Qing said with his third finger, "The last requirement is that I want to see your map of the Secret Passage of Bright Peak."

Gang Lao Da's eyes turned cold, "How do you know about it?"

Lin Qing shrugged, "We have informants."

He pointed at Yan Ran.

Gang Lao Da was silent for a moment, then threw a map to Lin Qing.

This map looked exactly like the hidden map of the Heaven Eagle Sect's main hall that Lin Qing had obtained.

The map showed the general structure of the Secret Passage of Bright Peak, but it was very rough, with many paths not marked. Just like Lin Qing's map of the Heaven Eagle Sect's main hall, it was a very rough map. Relying on such a map to adventure in a high-difficulty dungeon was like playing with one's life.

But in the hands of someone with a purpose, like Lin Qing, comparing the two maps could reveal many things.

Lin Qing only needed a minute to understand the situation.

He knew his current position and the extremely valuable information he had obtained through his life-and-death ordeal.

"The numbers match," Lin Qing's eyes flickered, "But we're still missing the last piece of the puzzle to unlock it."

His heart raced.

He sensed that he was just one step away from unlocking the secret of this hidden dungeon.

This high-difficulty dungeon world was about to reveal its deepest secret under his intelligence.

The remains of Yang Dingtian, the 33rd leader of the Ming Sect, and his wife, buried in the underground tomb, would rise to the surface again.

"Done looking?" Gang Lao Da snatched the map from Lin Qing and sneered, "What do you plan to do, smart guy?"

Lin Qing said frankly, "I have an idea, but I can't guarantee it will work."

"I'll give you three chances to make mistakes," Gang Lao Da smiled calmly, "You make one mistake, I kill one woman. The third time, I kill you. I'm just testing it out."

Lin Qing sighed, "Why bother?"

Tie Gou pushed him, "Move! Lead the way!"

Lin Qing walked in front and looked back.

Behind him was the thief with a triangular dagger, playing with a sharp, blood-grooved dagger. Once it entered the body, it would cause massive bleeding, and the victim would die from blood loss and convulsions.

Next were Gang Lao Da and the iron rod.

Then came the flip-flops and the hook, each holding Li Meilin and Yan Ran to prevent them from escaping.

At the rear was the doctor, impatiently supporting the unconscious man.

It was clear that this team was very cautious, and if Lin Qing tried to escape, the women would definitely die. Besides, he wouldn't be able to outrun the thief with the dagger.

But Lin Qing had no intention of escaping.

He just walked in front, leading the way.

After the antidote, as he walked, the life points he had lost from the damage by the leader's corpse gradually recovered.

Ahead, they encountered a quicksand trap.

Lin Qing identified it, stopped, and looked at the thief.

The thief remained expressionless, pointing the triangular dagger at Lin Qing.

Lin Qing was straightforward, shrugging, "I don't have the equipment to disarm the trap. I lost it when a monster chased me."

He wasn't lying.

After climbing the mountain wall, Lin Qing found that the rope had reached its end, so he left it in place.

This way, the ten-thousand-meter-long climbing rope connected the 67 explosives in the lower half of the Secret Passage of Bright Peak, forming a long fuse that could be detonated at any time.

Lin Qing felt a bit regretful.

This explosive power could only detonate about half of the explosives, and it could only collapse half of Bright Peak.

Not bad!

Lin Qing's plan was to use the explosives left by Cheng Kun in the Secret Passage of Bright Peak to achieve Cheng Kun's unfulfilled dream of completely destroying Bright Peak!

He dared to think and act!

After this life-and-death adventure, he had investigated the distribution of the explosives on Bright Peak and placed the specially made fuses on the explosives. Once the fuses were ignited, the Holy Land of the Ming Sect, Bright Peak, would be blown to smithereens, collapsing half of it. The Sacred Fire would likely be extinguished, and the Ming Sect would be severely weakened. Lin Qing's chain mission to "Destroy the Ming Sect" had a 60-70% chance of completing the final step.

The accumulated benefits would be fully released.

Lin Qing shook his head at the thief, indicating he was helpless.

The thief glanced back.

Gang Lao Da nodded.

The thief whistled.

A black-and-white animal emerged from his pocket and darted towards the quicksand trap.

It was a skunk.

Lin Qing's eyes widened in surprise.

This thief, who looked unremarkable, was actually a spatial attribute awakened person. His spatial attribute was a skunk.

The skunk was incredibly agile, instantly reaching the quicksand trap.

Originally, such quicksand traps were extremely vicious, designed specifically for human weight and gait. Only humans stepping on them would trigger them.

But somehow, the skunk easily triggered the trap!

The central trap suddenly sank.

The surrounding area was quicksand, flowing downward. Anyone who stepped here would be trapped and unable to escape, waiting for death.

The skunk, however, was unharmed, proudly curling its tail and jumping back into the thief's arms. The thief, rarely, smiled and fed it a piece of meat.

Lin Qing was envious.

The skunk, a product of the thief's spatial attribute, shared the same soul as the thief. Its abilities greatly benefited the thief.

The thief's profession was a thief, and this agile, intelligent skunk was like a telepathic assistant.

The thief glanced at Lin Qing, full of cold disdain. This was the advantage of a professional thief over an amateur archaeologist.

Lin Qing remained silent and walked forward.

"Hey!" The flip-flops couldn't hold back, shouting angrily, "You damn punk, do you even know where Yang Dingtian's body is? We've been walking for almost two hours, and we haven't arrived yet?"

The Hong Gang members looked at Lin Qing with suspicion.

Lin Qing shrugged, looking impatient, "If you know, you can lead the way."

The flip-flops got angry and tried to attack Lin Qing, but the iron rod stopped him.

"Kid," Gang Lao Da finally spoke, "I also feel like you're looking for something. Why don't you just say it, and we can look together."

Lin Qing smiled inwardly.

What was he looking for?

Of course, he was looking for a hidden door or secret passage entrance similar to the revolving door!

He had an excellent memory and had already memorized the map of the Secret Passage of Bright Peak that the Hong Gang team had.

In essence, the map that the Hong Gang team had obtained through hard work became a tool for Lin Qing to use.

Lin Qing was also using the professional skills of the Hong Gang team, such as the thief's ability to disarm traps and the doctor's ability to provide medical support.

In these two hours, he had indeed led these people to the locations recorded on the map of the Secret Passage of Bright Peak, where the Ming Sect leader's tomb might be.

To be precise, he had found three, but the Hong Gang members, who were with him, had no idea.

Unfortunately, none of these three were Yang Dingtian's tomb.

How did Lin Qing know?

Because on the revolving doors of the three tombs, or near them, there were three words carved, not easily noticeable: "Holy," "Also," and "Evil"!

This made Lin Qing even more certain.

"Indeed," Lin Qing's eyes flashed with a sharp light, "These words are not the names of the leaders but words from the Ming Sect's creed: 'Burn my remains, the holy fire burns, life is joy, death is sorrow? For good and evil, only light remains, joy and sorrow, all return to dust. Pity the world, suffering is abundant!'"

What was the use of these words?

The Ming Sect's creed consists of ten sentences, 40 words, with "I," "bear," "also," and "what" being repeated and needing to be removed. In total, there should be 36 words.

Lin Qing guessed that these 36 words actually indicated the order of the 33 leaders!

For example, the leader "Wei" he encountered in the large tomb indicated that this tomb belonged to the 18th leader!

"Holy," "Also," and "Evil" indicated the tombs of the 6th, 9th, and 17th leaders.

If this secret was known, then Yang Dingtian, as the 33rd leader, should be marked with the word "Worry."

The entrance to his tomb should be engraved with the word "Worry"!

The one with this mark would be the real Yang Dingtian!

This would avoid the fatal traps in the other 32 tombs.

The only problem was that the map of the Secret Passage of Bright Peak did not mark the locations of each tomb or the words on the tombs.

Of course, otherwise, anyone with a keen eye would realize that these words matched the Ming Sect's creed and were likely indicators of the order and identity of each leader.

This was something Lin Qing had figured out by chance, by referencing the religious-themed holy fire murals in the tomb of the leader "Wei."

In these two hours, he had used the power of the Hong Gang to visit three tombs, hoping to find Yang Dingtian's tomb by chance.

But he still didn't find it.
