Meng Xiaodie paced back and forth in the room three times, but she couldn't find any trace of the shrimp. He stepped back again and ran through the layout of the room in his mind. It was a nearly square room, a little shorter than the first and second rooms, both rectangular. Why was this room different from the other?

Could the third room have been partitioned off? Meng Xiaodie's eyes lit up. He took a deep breath and walked into the room, and suddenly pressed his palm against the wall that was rushing to the door. With this palm, the wall cracked and quickly disappeared.

The shrimp was lying at the corner with a sallow face. Meng Xiaodie carried the shrimp and rushed out into the street.

However, the two of them were still limp and unconscious. Meng Xiaodie put the shrimp on the ground, and the three of them were lying down side by side. Meng Xiaodie touched their pulses, and although their pulses were weak, they were still considered stable, so there wouldn't be any problems for a while.

Meng Xiaodie went back to the shop and opened the fourth door. It was completely empty inside. There was neither poison nor anything unusual. She opened the fifth door and found that it was the same as the fourth room. Then where were Shen Hong, Wei Ke, and Hong Kun hiding?

Walking out of the first store, Meng Xiaodie's mind was filled with thoughts. He thought of the second shop. Wei Lin had gone there before with the green-eyed dwarf, would he be in the second shop? He walked into the second shop, which was still empty and devoid of poison and smoke. Was Wei Lin not in this room? Meng Xiaodie looked around and didn't find anything suspicious. Just as he was about to leave the shop, she saw a spot on the wall that flashed by. That spot was very small, and if it wasn't for his meticulous observation, it might have been ignored. He turned around and followed the bright spot. There was a silver needle on the wall.

Meng Xiaodie was stunned. This was the Hundred Blossom Silver Needles of Shen Hong. How could the Hundred Blossom Silver Needles of Shen Hong pierce the wall? Meng Xiaodie pulled out the silver needle and looked at the wall. Suddenly, he remembered that the last time he came in, he had knocked on the wall. Those stone bricks were all empty. He seemed to understand that Shen Hong was an expert at using poison. She wouldn't be knocked unconscious by the poison aura. It was very likely that before she passed out, she had flung out a Hundred Blossom Silver Needle, leaving behind a trace.

This silver needle was extremely important to them. If they hadn't found it, he would have already left this room and gone elsewhere to search for it. Meng Xiaodie knocked on the stone bricks. The three walls were real, and only one wall made a hollow sound. He smacked down with his palm and shattered a few bricks. A black hole appeared on the wall as expected. He pushed the bricks aside and opened up the hole. It was still pitch black inside; he couldn't see what was inside.

Meng Xiaodie took out a fire stone and a fire piston from her pocket. She lit up the fire and shone them into the cave. The cave was not big, so it was able to hold a person inside. However, she didn't find Wei Ming and Shen Hong hiding inside. Meng Xiaodie felt a chill in her heart, and felt it was strange. Normally, Wei Ke and Shen Hong should be hiding here, otherwise, how would she explain that Hundred Blossom Silver Needle? Moreover, Wei Ke had followed the green-eyed dwarf into the shop. The moment Wei Ke had entered, he had probably lost his bag. If the two of them weren't behind this wall, where could they have hidden themselves?

The cave was narrow and only a few meters deep. It was a dead cave, and this dead cave should be where the things were hidden, but the cave was very clean, and there was nothing here. Because it was too clean, it made Meng Xiaodie suspicious, so he knocked on the stone wall a few times. Meng Xiaodie didn't waste time to find any hidden traps. He took out his black sword and hacked it down towards the stone wall. With a flash of lightning, a hole was cut open in the stone wall. The stone cracked, revealing a small hole.

The cave was dark and there was no movement. Meng Xiaodie hacked at the cave again, enlarging the cave. He crawled in, raised the fire piston, and looked inside. There was a black shadow flashing inside. There were two people lying on the ground. Meng Xiaodie quickly walked forward and recognized one of them as Wei Ke and the other one was Hong Kun.

Without Shen Hong, Meng Xiaodie couldn't believe her eyes. It was obviously Shen Hong who had left this message. Why were Hong Kun and Wei Lin lying inside? Then what about Shen Hong?

Meng Xiaodie looked around and found that the cave inside was much larger than the ones outside, it looked like a stone room, square, the stone wall had grooves dug into it and an oil lamp was placed on it. When Meng Xiaodie lit the oil lamp, she could see that there was a sculpture on one of the stone walls, the contents of the sculpture were simple, the carving was ancient and natural, a stone bridge, on both sides stood four people, their shapes were very blurry, the water below the stone bridge revealed four eyes of a monster in the water.

Seeing those four-eyed monsters, Meng Xiaodie suddenly had an ominous premonition. Could it be that Shen Hong was taken away by something? Was this sculpture hinting at something? The oil lamp flickered, sometimes bright, sometimes dim, and the shadow of the lamp illuminated the entire scene, while the eight people on the sculpture disappeared without a trace. This phenomenon was a little strange, as Meng Xiaodie was afraid of something happening again, so he first dragged Hong Kun and Wei Ke out and gave them to Jiang Bufan.

"What about Shen Hong? Is it in there too? " Jiang Bufan asked.

"Shen Hong left behind a Hundred Blossom Silver Needle. I was only able to find them because of this needle. However, I didn't find any trace of Shen Hong." Meng Xiaodie said thoughtfully while holding the Hundred Blossom Silver Needles.

"That's weird. Shen Hong left a hundred silver flowers and needles behind. Logically speaking, she should be in this shop. Have you not found some places yet?" Jiang Bufan asked again.

"There's a stone room inside. I think there's a problem with that stone room." Meng Xiaodie said. He held the Hundred Blossom Silver Needles in his hand as he imagined the sculpted images in the stone room.

Just what did that strange relief sculpture mean to him? Was it to let him know the difficulties and retreat? It was still a warning. The stone bridge was like a Bridge of Helplessness, and the eight people in the sculpture might be the eight of them. In the end, they were eaten by the Four-Eyed Beasts in the violent current.

However, this was just Meng Xiaodie's imagination. He was naturally not afraid of these things, but where would Shen Hong be hidden? Was it in that stone room, or was it taken to another place? Shen Hong was the commander of this squad. The Earth Devil certainly knew this. It could attack Shen Hong's head and kill him. If it killed her, then the team would not disperse on their own.
