A gleaming object was burning in the furnace, with raging flames painting half the sky red.
Inside the stone chamber, there was a stone platform.
At this moment, Dong Yubai was lying on the stone platform, and Dong Xingzhi was hurriedly bandaging the wound on his chest.
Upon hearing footsteps and seeing the firelight, he quickly looked up, relieved to see it was Chu Qing and the others:
"The three of you... you came in too?"
After being blocked earlier, Dong Xingzhi did not choose to break through. Instead, he seized the opportunity when Chu Qing and others attracted the villagers' attention to quickly bring Dong Yubai into this secret chamber.
This wasn't really a good solution.
If Chu Qing and his group couldn't resolve the trouble outside, sooner or later those troubles would find them.
Therefore, Dong Xingzhi's first reaction upon hearing footsteps was panic.
Once he confirmed the visitors' identities, he calmed down.
