Candle in the Tomb

Episode 7

Pull this together, make sure it is very tight.

Okay.

Xiao Chu, make sure you tie it so that it is very strong

Rest assured Brother Hu, I will.

- Sister Xiao Yang, let me help you! - Okay.

Let me do it, Brother Hu.

Be careful!

Xiao Chu, Xiao Sa, remember to be careful.

Professor, we know, don’t worry.

Teacher, is this tight?

This is good.

- Fatty, - Yes?

Do you have any problems?

No problems.

Stop pretending. You suffer from vertigo. It’s not like I don’t know.

If you can’t do it, stay here and wait for us.

I’m fine, I’m fine!

You go down, and I’ll be the second one to go right after you!

Are you sure you’ll be okay?

I’m sure, I’m okay, I'm okay!

Xiao Liu, we need to hurry up, and make sure our equipment is ready.

Okay!

Professor Chen!

Professor Chen, other than Ye Yixin, if their are any other members of the team who cannot go down,

for reasons like their physical or mental conditions are not ideal,

please let me know as soon as possible.

It is necessary to let them stay here and wait for us.

I've asked. All of them say they have no problem.

Since we have come this far, everyone wants to go down and take a look.

After all, a chance like this is very rare.

Maybe, only once in a lifetime.

Okay.

Everybody listen up!

What I've emphasized before, be sure to keep that in mind.

After we are down below, no one knows what the situation will be like.

It is very possible that we will run into bizarre happenings and creatures.

Maybe even dead bodies.

So it doesn’t matter what we run into

or what happens, everyone must remain calm, and stay alert.

There’s no need to be too nervous.

Da Gezi and I are the sharpshooters of our squad.

We guarantee we'll bring you back safely.

Okay, everybody get ready.

Okay.

Ga Wa, how are you?

I'm fine.

Teacher, watch your footing.

Be sure to hold on tight!

Xiao Wang!

- Brother Wang, are you okay? - Are you okay?

Fatty, are you okay?

I'm okay.

Slowly. Old Wang, let’s take a look at the surroundings. -

Let’s go.

Can’t you be more careful?

That scared me to death.

Look at how scared you are.

- Teacher. - Look at her.

Xiao Chu, how are you?

Hey, she would fly down if she could.

Look, she has had professional training before.

Here.

Here, let me help you take it off.

Did you bring it?

- Scared now? - How could I be? It's for counteracting evil spirits.

A dead body! There’s a dead body there!

Don’t touch it! Beware of bugs with fire!

Fire Ladybugs.

Right, ladybugs of fire!

Old Hu! Is it your comrade of arms?

No. His clothing is completely different.

It should be a member of my father’s expedition team.

Their equipment was all pretty much the same. I’ve seen it before.

This person...How did he die here?

He was definitely not attacked by fire ladybugs.

After their attack, all that they will leave behind are ashes.

But I don’t think this is any bad news.

At least it shows that the signals you've received from them before, were accurate.

Yes.

Leader Hu, we’ve looked around here, there is only one direction we can go.

Okay.

- Sister Xiao Yang, if there is danger, I’ll block it off for you. - What are you going to use to block it?

I’m a sharpshooter!

Miss Yang, I see that you are very familiar with guns,

you should hold onto this gun, but still be sure to be careful.

Okay, I’ll walk in the back.

Professor Chen, how is the condition of your body?

I’m fine, thank you for asking, Comrade Xiao Hu.

Brother Hu, the signal is normal here.

Good, let me emphasize again, make sure everybody doesn’t get separated, stay with the group.

Kunlun Mountain is a very peculiar place with a lot of peculiar things.

Everyone needs to be sure not to make too much noise, but try to be quiet.

In short, I want everyone to stay safe, let’s get ready to go.

Okay.

- Here, Aiguo. - Teacher, I’ll do it.

Xiao Liu, come here quickly, there is a signal!

Okay.

Look, there is a signal.

This means that all should be going well with Professor Chen.

Great! I’ll report back to the military campsite now.

Military campsite, military campsite, I'm from the expedition team.

If you receive this, please respond.

Received by the military campsite, received by the military campsite.

Expedition team please speak, expedition team please speak.

Expedition team has successfully received the signal of the archaeological team.

Currently, everything is normal. Over.

Please remain in contact, please remain in contact. Over.

The expedition team understands, the expedition team understands.

This is great! A good beginning is halfway to success.

That's right!

Sister Xiao Yang, be careful.

This is the exact South direction.

This should be the crack in between the two mountains.

This is the exact East direction.

If we continue forward, we should be right under the glacier.

- There is so much mica down here. - What's female or male?

Not an animal, it is a crystal.

Look, mica and crystals usually grow at the same sea level, just like these.

The color of these micas are very dark.

This shows that these micas were once grown in a place very deep down.

To be able to see them at this sea-level,

it is only due to the movement of the earth.

Everybody stay close.

Ga Wa, watch the people in the back.

Don't worry!

Is this worth a lot?

Comrade Xiao Ye.

Not being able to be on the frontline for this expedition, are you a little regretful?

Frankly, it is a little regretful.

But everybody is trying to take care of me, they are worried about my health.

To me,

to be able to come here with Professor Chen, who is an authoritative expert,

I am already very lucky.

Expedition team, expedition team, this is the military campsite.

If you receive this, please respond.

Received by the expedition team, military campsite, please speak.

We have received the latest weather update, there will be a blizzard in three hours.

We hope that after the archaeology team finishes their tasks, that you'll make sure everyone evacuate as quickly as possible.

Rest assured, military campsite, we will follow your order and complete our mission. Over.

Slowly.

I think I hear the sound of running water. Is there an underground river?

I've never seen an underground river before. This place is so magical.

It's so big down here. Why don't we build a secret base here?

Ga Wa, if you didn't speak, nobody would mistake you for a mute.

Hey, Brother Hu, have you been here before?

I'll slowly tell you after leaving here.

You don't need to tell me. Even my toes can guess

that you've been here before. I can tell you're not an ordinary person.

You think you're so great?

Even your toes can think?

Our leaders teach us to have an open-mind, but you have to look at the facts.

Let go of me! You must treat your fellow comrades with warmth and love. Don't you know that?

Stop talking. Go stay behind the line.

Behind!

Old Hu, this is an underground river?

Professor Chen,

we might need to wad across the water.

Everybody, rest here. Fatty and I will go check it out.

Okay, okay.

Brother Hu,

bad news! Sister Yang is gone.

What?

Weren't you ordered to guard the back of the line? Why did you come to the front to chat?

Hey, stay steady. Don't panic.

- You two, stay on guard. - Yes, sir!

Comrade Hu, did an accident happen to Miss Yang?

- Was it aliens? - Don't say nonsense.

She's back.

Sister Yang, where did you go? You scared us!

I thought the scenery over there was pretty,

so I took a few pictures. Otherwise, I would go back to the magazine company empty-handed.

Shirley, you scared us.

In the future, tell us beforehand.

I'm sorry for making everyone worry.

Did you find something and purposefully hid from us?

- No. - Enough. It's good that she's fine. Everyone, rest here.

Fatty and I will go test the water's depth.

Okay.

Old Hu, I think there's a problem with this American chick.

I understand that Professor Chen and them are here for archaeology,

but this She... She Li?

Relic?

Stop messing around. That American chick.

Although she looks Chinese, she's actually an American.

Why would she finance our archaeology team? She definitely has other motives.

Don't forget that we only have the deposit right now. More money will come later.

Don't only think about money.

Is the water deep?

It's probably shallow.

Anyway, if something happens, I'm keeping a close eye on her.

Give the ice pick to me.
