Tomb Raiding with a Baby

Amid the crowds traveling home for the Spring Festival, Zhao Qi's team and the mysterious Lü Qi join forces over a clue to the Fangtian Huaji. Carrying a 500,000-yuan deposit fitted with a tracking device, they board a train bound for Black Mountain. Along the way, they face pursuit and roadblocks from the Hong Kong Huanyu team. A dispute over dialects breaks the ice, while a brake failure on a mountain road nearly spells disaster. As the six dodge pursuers and shake their trackers, they gradually learn to work together, and Lü Qi also uncovers the connection between his father and the Chu tomb at Jingshan. An abandoned coal mine on the northern slopes of Black Mountain conceals a shocking secret: gas levels are dangerously high, skeletons drift in the water, and hidden mortise locks modeled after Pang Juan's guard the “Tomb of the Han Dynasty's Red Hare.” A jade cicada embedded there reveals a map made of animal hide. Deep inside the karst cave, a modified Bagua formation is packed with traps; every step brings poison arrows and toxic mist. The Hong Kong Huanyu team suddenly bursts in, bringing to light an old grudge dating back to their fathers' 1994 expedition to a Chu tomb, along with the Lü family's secret arts and a conspiracy. Lü Hanji forcibly activates a secret art tied to the earth's energy veins, inviting divine retribution. With the cave about to collapse, Lü Qi sees him for what he is and joins forces with the team. They use the jade cicada to neutralize the energy and remove the tiger tally, averting disaster. Abandoning the Fangtian Huaji, everyone makes a desperate escape. Along the way, they find clues including a bronze fragment bearing the character “Sun” and an old photograph with a shadowy figure, pointing directly to the third key to the Chu tomb at Jingshan and a descendant of Sun Bin. From strangers to comrades who would die for one another, from chasing wealth to standing up for what is right, the six undergo a life-and-death transformation at Black Mountain. Carrying their fathers' last wishes and mysteries still unsolved, they set out for Jingshan, where an even greater puzzle awaits! The baby should appear around chapters 50–100.
