On the other side, as soon as Huo Xiangu received the photo, she immediately ordered her men to quickly pack their equipment and prepare to enter the Zhang family's ancient building.

But as soon as she turned around, the photo in her hand was taken away.

Huo Xiangu was stunned at first, then turned around and saw Huo Xiuxiu standing behind her. "Your body movements have improved, but I didn't even notice it. It seems I'm really getting old."

Huo Xiangu sighed. Huo Xiuxiu stuck out her tongue mischievously: "Grandma, you are not old. But this time I must go down with you."

Huo Xiangu refused firmly: "No! The Huo family needs you, I won't let you go."

Huo Xiuxiu knew that her grandmother would not agree easily, but fortunately she was prepared.

She took out a lighter, held the photo close to the flame, looked at Huo Xiangu and said, "I heard from the guys that you have to go down in person. If you don't take me with you, I will burn the photo!"

Huo Xiangu's face changed and she shouted sternly: "Xiu Xiu, you know how important this photo is, don't mess around!"

Huo Xiuxiu's eyes flashed with stubbornness: "Grandma, I'm not kidding. I know you're worried about me, but I'm worried about you too. When have we ever been afraid of danger? I'm not a child anymore. I have the ability to protect myself and I can help."

Huo Xiangu looked at Huo Xiuxiu's determined eyes, feeling helpless. She knew Huo Xiuxiu's character too well. Once she made a decision, nothing could change it.

After hesitating for a moment, Huo Xiangu sighed: "Xiu Xiu, do you know where the Zhang Family Ancient Building is? The danger there is beyond imagination. If you make a mistake, your life will be in danger."

Huo Xiuxiu stepped forward and held Huo Xiangu's hand: "Grandma, I know. That's why I'm even more worried about you going alone. Besides, Brother Wu Xie and Brother Xiaohua are here too. If I follow you, we can take care of each other, which is better than you going alone."

Huo Xiangu looked at Huo Xiuxiu with a complicated look in her eyes, but she finally nodded in agreement: "Okay, go put on your equipment and get ready to go."

Huo Xiuxiu was overjoyed: "Grandma, don't worry, I will be obedient!"

She happily began to put on her equipment, looking forward to working with everyone with great joy, and completely unaware of the deep reluctance in Huo Xiangu's eyes.

However, soon after Huo Xiuxiu put on her protective suit and gas mask, she suddenly felt dizzy. She tried to open her eyes, but found that she could not control her body at all. Then her eyes went dark and she fell down.

Huo Xiangu looked at Huo Xiuxiu who had fallen to the ground, walked over and gently touched her hair, her eyes full of love and helplessness: "Silly child, how could grandma let you go to such a dangerous place? Take care of yourself, the Huo family will depend on you in the future."

After saying that, she signaled her men to take Huo Xiuxiu to a safe place and take good care of her.

After making arrangements for Huo Xiuxiu, Huo Xiangu led the rest of the group towards the Zhang family's ancient building.

At this time, the atmosphere on Bai Mumu's side was still a bit dull. The young man stood aside silently, and Bai Mumu still didn't want to pay attention to him, but from time to time he glanced at him with the corner of his eyes, and the little awkwardness in his eyes was almost overflowing. Unfortunately, the young man, a straight man, didn't notice it at all, let alone coax him.

Fatty Wang was so anxious watching from the side that his eyes were about to cramp, but the young man didn't even look at him. Fatty Wang was really impressed.

In the end, he had no choice but to pretend to be angry and said, "Brother, don't do this again next time. Look how angry the fairy is." Although the brother didn't understand why Fatty Wang suddenly changed his attitude, he didn't refute it. He just nodded slightly, his eyes full of apology.

Just when the atmosphere was heavy, a slight sound of footsteps could be heard faintly from a distance. Although the sound was light in the silent environment, it struck everyone's heartstrings like a drumbeat.

Everyone instantly felt like they were facing a great enemy. Their muscles tensed, their eyes were full of vigilance, and they all clenched their weapons in their hands, looking in the direction where the sound came from.

It was not until the blurry figures gradually became clear and everyone saw that it was Huo Xiangu and her group that their hearts finally settled down. They breathed a sigh of relief and their tense nerves slowly relaxed.

Seeing Fairy Huo being carried in by four big men, Fatty Wang couldn't help but teasing, "Mrs. Huo, you are really so impressive! Look at Boss Qiu behind you, he doesn't have your presence. If you don't know, you would think you are a senior leader who came to inspect."

Jude Kao, who was innocently implicated, secretly complained in his heart: "If you want to hurt others, then hurt others. Why drag me into this? I just want to get by peacefully and safely, but I don't want to be hated by others."

Fairy Huo just glanced at Fatty Wang indifferently and did not take his provocation to heart. At this moment, she was thinking about entering the ancient building.

The young man took the photo handed to him by Huo Xiangu, his eyes fell on the relief code on the photo, then he turned around and calmly pressed the relief on the stone door.

With a low roar, the stone door slowly opened, and an old and mysterious atmosphere surged out like a tide, instantly attracting everyone's attention. Behind the door was a deep and dark passage, with faint lights flickering on the walls, as if silently telling stories that had been sealed away by the years.

Fatty Wang rubbed his hands excitedly, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, and he quickly took out a flashlight from his backpack and shone it into the passage. The dim light of the flashlight seemed so small in the darkness, like a small boat in the dark sea, which could be swallowed up at any time.

The young man first looked back at Bai Mumu, then stepped into the passage with steady and cautious steps. Although Bai Mumu was still angry with the young man for what happened before, he subconsciously followed.

But before she could even step into the passage, a scream like the howling of ghosts and wolves suddenly came to her mind: "My baby, stop, you can't go in..."

The sudden scream scared Bai Mumu so much that she slipped and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, the young man reacted quickly, turned around, and reached out to hold her steadily. Bai Mumu finally stood up in shock, her eyes full of fear and confusion.

"Are you okay?" the young man asked softly, his tone full of concern.

Bai Mumu covered her ears with a look of pain on her face: "Tongtong, please stop howling. You are going to deafen me."

The system said anxiously: "Bao, you must not go in now. This password is wrong."

Bai Mumu's face was full of disbelief: "What? Wrong? How is this possible? If the password is wrong, how can the stone door be opened?"

The system responded anxiously: "Baby, I don't have time to explain to you now, and I can't be with you. I can only remind you first, so it's better for you not to go in. What if there is danger?"
