TRSFTATTYA Chapter 26

The fluttering powder, like drifting snow, sprinkled wantonly between heaven and earth.
The Zhang Family Ancient Building, silent for thousands of years, echoed with heart-wrenching screams…
However, it wasn’t long before the screams gradually lessened, becoming weaker and weaker until there was no sound, returning to silence.
In front of the Zhang Family Ancient Building was a ghastly white expanse.
Within this ghastly white, there were sets of drooping military green uniforms, with pools of water stains beneath them.
And a vermilion coffin lay quietly in front of the Zhang Family Ancient Building…
The scene before him struck Hao Lian like a bolt of lightning, his brain losing the ability to command his actions. He stood there motionless like a log, staring blankly with wide eyes.
The escort team, guarding the coffin, walked at the very front. The small team of dozens of people was almost completely wiped out, with only a few managing to escape.
Hao Lian was filled with remorse.
He never imagined that this seemingly quiet ancient building contained such a great killing intent.
Those who survived returned to safety, and the fluttering powder from the Zhang Family Ancient Building gradually ceased.
One by one, they collapsed to the ground, calming their emotions…
After a while.
Xie Lianhuan looked at Chen Wenjin and said, “Captain, what do we do now?”
The usually calm and decisive Chen Wenjin, at this moment, was also at a loss.
Xie Lianhuan continued, “We can’t just stay stagnant like this. We’re just one breath away. We can’t just go back like this, right?”
“No way!”
Chen Wenjin said decisively, “No matter what, we must complete the task assigned by the higher-ups!”
Hao Lian was a soldier after all, and his psychological resilience was much stronger than that of the archaeology team. He was used to seeing life and death, but this was the first time he had seen such a bizarre way to die.
Having already seen the Zhang Family Ancient Building, with only the final step remaining to complete the burial, no one wanted to give up.
Chen Wenjin pondered for a moment, and said, “Everyone, search around to see if there are any mechanisms.”
“Remember, be careful and report immediately if anything is wrong!”
Chen Wenjin couldn’t help but urge them before everyone started moving.
After that, everyone began to search around the Zhang Family Ancient Building…
However, they searched every inch around the massive Zhang Family Ancient Building, spending a full two hours, and found nothing. Even the shadow of the Xiluotuo they had seen before had disappeared.
Su Ze couldn’t figure it out. Although he had read Wu Xie’s later notes, Wu Xie only entered after Zhang Qiling and Huo Xian Gu had cracked the gate of the Zhang Family Ancient Building. Zhang Qiling and Huo Xian Gu’s team had also suffered considerable losses before they were able to enter the Zhang Family Ancient Building.
As for how they entered, only they themselves knew.
With no results, everyone returned to the original place, and the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
Everyone was at a loss.
After speaking, Zhang Qiling headed towards the Zhang Family Ancient Building.
Chen Wenjin was, after all, the person in charge of this archaeology team, and immediately blocked Zhang Qiling, “No, that’s too dangerous!”
Seeing that she disagreed, Zhang Qiling didn’t waste any words, went around her, and walked towards the Zhang Family Ancient Building on his own.
Zhang Qiling seemed a little impatient, turned his head, and his eyes turned cold, “Let go.”
In everyone’s shocked gaze, Zhang Qiling slowly walked towards the Zhang Family Ancient Building.
In front of the massive ancient building, Zhang Qiling’s figure was like a white dot, constantly approaching. Along the way, everyone held their breath, focusing all their attention on that solitary figure…
However, nothing happened along the way.
Zhang Qiling just went to the door of the Zhang Family Ancient Building very smoothly and easily.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also dumbfounded.
Wu Sansheng muttered, “Could it be that Zhang Qiling is from the Zhang family? Can only members of the Zhang family open the Zhang Family Ancient Building?”
Everyone nodded secretly.
Zhang Qiling is the key to opening the Zhang Family Ancient Building!
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhang Qiling slowly raised his hand to push open that large door that had been closed for who knows how many years.
“Creak, creak, creak—”
The large door made a dull and ear-piercing sound.
Suddenly.
The top of the ancient building suddenly made a crashing sound.
Before they could react, black powder poured out once again, falling like black raindrops.
“Be careful!!!”
Chen Wenjin and the others couldn’t help but scream.
Zhang Qiling clearly froze for a moment, then turned around and jumped back, trying to escape.
But it was already too late.
Although he dodged most of the white powder, people can’t outrun raindrops, and the white powder still fell on his head, face, and shoulders…
“Ah—”
Even Zhang Qiling couldn’t help but let out a beast-like roar.
Resentment, anger, pain.
The areas touched by the white powder began to turn red, and then began to melt flesh and blood. Even Zhang Qiling couldn’t resist it.
But Zhang Qiling was no ordinary person after all, and he still managed to break out of the area covered by the black powder.
Everyone ran up quickly and dragged Zhang Qiling to a safe place.
However, at this time, Zhang Qiling was already on the verge of death. His originally handsome face was blurred with blood and flesh from being corroded by the black powder, which was quite horrifying.
Even his neck and shoulders were melted beyond recognition, and some places even revealed bare white bones…
Su Ze was dumbfounded.
Zhang Qiling… was just ruined like that?
