“You took a memento from my family, so our agreement is established, right?” Agnes watched as Chen Zhao put the key away.

“Uh… Take it back.” Chen Zhao put the key in Agnes’ hands.

Agnes looked at her empty hands. “Are you making fun of me?”

Chen Zhao was taken aback. He picked the key back up from Agnes’ hands. “You can’t see it?”

“See what?” Agnes looked at Chen Zhao’s weird actions.

“Does your family have those rules, like if I offend your family, all of you will try to kill me?”

“I don’t mind setting a rule like that for you.” Agnes looked at Chen Zhao with a dark expression.

“Whatever. Let’s go.” Chen Zhao scratched his head.

It was honestly so troublesome. Why did he have to listen to that story?

“Wait…” Agnes said. “Wait for my people.”

“You have more people? That’s better. I thought it was just the two of us.”

Just then, a great gale of wind whooshed by.

A military helicopter landed before them. Four guys came out.

“Are they your guys?” Chen Zhao asked.

“Let’s go.”

After Chen Zhao got onto the helicopter, Agnes had someone put all sorts of things onto him.

“Can you tell me what this parachute is?” Chen Zhao asked.

“You’ve gone parachuting before, right?”

Chen Zhao thought before. “Yes.”

Last time, he’d climbed the CL building and jumped down from around 300 meters.

“Then, we’re good.”

“You’re saying that we need to use a parachute later?”

“It’s the fastest way to get in.”

“Can I back out now?”

“Hey, I’ll protect you.” A big guy patted Chen Zhao’s shoulder.

Agnes glanced at Chen Zhao and then at her underling. “He doesn’t need your protection. Just take care of yourself.”

“You powerful?” the big guy asked.

“Not bad. I can beat up ten of you.”

“Let’s have a fight after this mission ends.”

Big Guy liked fighting, just like Chen Zhao.

He might not be taking Chen Zhao seriously either.

Actually, the other three had similar expressions.

They didn’t understand why Agnes specifically came to find this Asian.

At least, they didn’t find anything necessary about him.

“Hey, Fali. I might not be home on time for dinner tonight.”

“Oh, are you busy? It’s really loud over there.”

“Yeah.”

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao with a speechless expression.

The helicopter reached the destination. They were 3,000 meters up in the sky.

“Over there.” Agnes pointed down.

There was a huge black hole in the middle of the forest. The ground seemed to have collapsed.

“Don’t stray too much,” Agnes said. “Okay, let’s go.”

Agnes’ team members jumped down one by one. Chen Zhao was the last one.

The group of six all landed safely.

They weren’t too far away from the destination.

The six surrounded the hole and stared at each other.

“It’s here?”

“Okay, let’s go,” Agnes said.

“Wait… Put on the heat sensor.”

“Oh… I don’t really want to go in.” Chen Zhao sighed.

The group entered the crypt through the entrance.

The entrance wasn’t very wide. The atmosphere felt suffocating.

Just then, everyone kicked something.

It was a corpse—more accurately, half of a corpse.

“Seems like the Crypt Demons are pretty picky eaters. They only eat the upper half.”

Everyone looked at Chen Zhao. They all thought that he may be dead weight, but Chen Zhao’s courage was pretty rare. He could still joke under these situations.

“It may be because it didn’t have time to finish.”

The group encountered another body. This time, it was a female Crypt Demon.

This Crypt Demon still had an arm stuffed in its mouth.

But there were a dozen bullet holes too. It must’ve been killed by a barrage of bullets.

Bang.

Without warning, Chen Zhao fired into the fork.

“What are you doing?”

“Don’t fire randomly.”

“I saw a Crypt Demon there,” Chen Zhao said.

“Really? Why didn’t I notice it?”

Everyone doubted Chen Zhao. Agnes looked at him. “Are you sure?”

“Yes.”

“Did you hit it?”

“Actually, I was just testing out the gun,” Chen Zhao said, changing the topic.

He’d indeed discovered a Crypt Demon earlier, but the guy ran too quickly.

Or, Chen Zhao’s shooting skills were too bad. He was always meters away from the target.

As the group forged on, the air grew damp and hot.

“Fork at the upper left, Crypt Demon, male, covered 35% with a shell. It discovered us.”

Bang, bang, bang.

“Did we hit it?”

“No, the Crypt Demon hid behind the rock. It’s too fast.”

The group had guns with strong penetrative abilities.

But first, they had to hit their target.

If they couldn’t hit anything, even the best weapons would be useless.

“Agnes, are you sure Murphy is still alive?”

“Yes, I can feel that he’s still alive,” Agnes said. “But he’s in great danger now. Let’s hurry up.”

The group continued on. Each person had around 15 to 20 kilograms of equipment.

Under this weight and the damp and hot environment, it was a great test for their fitness.

“Head, we’re already 320 meters underground.” Everyone looked at Agnes.

“Continue,” Agnes said.

Just then, a man-made structure appeared ahead of them.

The ground connected with a tiled tunnel. They entered an underground chamber.

Just then, more bodies appeared before them.

These bodies had been torn apart long ago. The corpses were piled together and it was disgusting.

Agnes wiped her mouth. Her expression turned more worried.

“Which side?”

“Should be this way,” Agnes said, pointing.

“Two Crypt Demons behind us! Male, 50% outer shell!”

Bang, bang, bang.

“Hurry, hurry. Don’t try fighting. The Crypt Demons might be surrounding us right now. We can’t get surrounded.”

The group picked up their pace. As they got deeper, more corpses appeared.

Finally, a huge abyss appeared before them.

There was a four-sided pyramid in the abyss.

Built up from the bottom of the abyss, it was probably more than 100 meters tall.

“Murphy is inside that pyramid,” Agnes said.
