Ye Yang said in a low voice, "Someone has reinforced Li Po's killing formation. They won't be able to break through without paying a price."

I could also hear the voices of those prisoners near my third killing formation.

The second person to charge the formation with their life wasn't breaking it, but reinforcing it.

If the killing formation is difficult to unravel, more people will die on it.

The hidden agents of the Reincarnation Department are killing off a portion of the people before releasing the remaining prisoners.

This is to deepen the hatred between me and the prisoners. By the time we meet, and start fighting to the death without a word, I'll have no chance to ask about the secrets of this prison.

I whispered to Su Su, "It's up to you this time. It would be best if Ye Yang and I could directly capture Half-Tower or Old Bones. Don't worry about the lives of the others."

"I'll try..." Before Su Su could finish speaking, a prisoner had already jumped down from the square well.

The moment that person fell into the water, they let out a scream, desperately struggling and shouting, "It's an ambush!" Then, there was no more sound.

The people above stopped, but Half-Tower shouted, "Jump now, or you'll die. You might have a chance to live if you jump!"

Immediately after, people jumped down, and some were thrown into the well.

The sounds of splashing water, screams, and martial artists fighting hand-to-hand with ghosts and monsters mingled together beneath the square well, and the stench of blood and death spread continuously throughout the second level of the dungeon.

I don't know how many people have died outside.

I just heard someone shout, "Charge forward, don't stay in the water, break through and then talk!"

"Quickly find the lighting mechanism. We can't see anything, we can only be beaten!"

The lighting mechanism that person was talking about wasn't about turning on lights. Most tombs and underground palaces have fire troughs, fire plates, and similar things used for lighting.

Of course, this wasn't to make it easier for outsiders to enter and rob the tomb, but because the construction of the underground palace also required lighting. Some places even needed to be as bright as day to facilitate the carving of the craftsmen.

If the lighting mechanism is still there, the chances of survival for outsiders entering the underground palace could increase by at least thirty percent.

Just as those prisoners were rushing towards the end of the tunnel, I noticed someone moving towards me.

No matter the time, there are always those who try to be slick and take advantage, especially in a life-or-death situation.

As that person slowly approached me, I sent a signal to Ye Yang.

If this "fish" can walk right into our net, it's probably due to Su Su's luck. If we catch him, we can get a lot of information we want.

I did my best to suppress all the aura on my body, like a stone sinking in the water, standing there motionless.

When that person got close to me, I suddenly reached out and grabbed their arm, pulling them down into the water.

Just as that person was about to resist, Ye Yang also appeared beside them, grabbing their other arm.

The person was suddenly attacked and instinctively wanted to call for help, but only a string of bubbles came from their mouth.

The person's held breath was released, and if we didn't get out of the water, they would drown.

Helpless, Ye Yang and I had no choice but to drag them to the surface.

My intention was to let the person catch their breath, then drag them back into the water to hide, and wait for the prisoners above to move away before we went out.

Unexpectedly, the moment that person came out of the water, lights suddenly flared all around us.

I don't know who turned on the lighting mechanism, illuminating the entire level of the prison.

The prisoners who had jumped down earlier were all standing on the shore, looking at the four of us in the firelight.

Just then, I suddenly heard a strange sound like a sharp blade piercing through a human body. When I turned my head to look, the prisoner Ye Yang and I had captured had been pierced through the throat from behind by a steel wire.

Shocked, I quickly looked behind me.

Behind us, apart from a dark patch of sewage, there wasn't a single person. Only the foot-long steel wire hung in the air, constantly guiding the dead man's blood into the water.

Someone on the shore suddenly shouted sharply, "Kill them!"

Several figures stepped on the waste paper floating on the sewage and rushed towards us.

Ye Yang and I threw down the body at the same time, leaped out of the water, and met the enemy with our palms.

In the blink of an eye, we exchanged blows with the people who rushed at us first, with four palms facing each other.

With a sound of exploding qi, our four people and eight palms suddenly clashed. Ye Yang and I each took a step back, landing on the nearby pile of paper.

The two people who exchanged palms with me also retreated, and their chosen landing points were also on the nearby paper piles. However, they didn't expect to sink the moment they landed.

The piles of paper floating on the sewage were a mix of solid and hollow, and without careful inspection, no one could be sure if the place they were stepping on could support them.

Ye Yang and I were able to stand on the piles of paper because we were lucky.

The people who were knocked away by us weren't so lucky.

Su Su appeared behind us silently, "Jump wherever you want, I guarantee you'll be able to stand where you jump."

With Su Su's words, I felt confident.

Without having to look at our feet, we were essentially gaining the upper hand.

The first reaction of the people rushing up from the opposite side was to save their two companions.

However, as they pulled at those two, blood seeped out from the waists of both of them at the same time.
