My grandfather left behind a blood-stained diagram of the dragon's veins and disappeared mysteriously, leaving only one sentence: "The dragon has gone west."
Lin Beichen, the successor of Mojin School Captain, was forced to gather a team of geeks - a retired soldier, a genius female doctor, and a lame archaeologist - to go deep into the underground of Egypt to find the truth. They discovered that buried under the Giza pyramids were Eastern secrets spanning five thousand years, and that transnational plundering organizations had already laid plans to kill them.
When the seven jade keys are gathered together, the three stars gather on the top of the sky, and the giant underground door suddenly opens. What awaits them behind the door, is it the ultimate legacy of the Chinese ancestors, or is it an ancient disaster that mankind cannot bear?

The pacing of these five chapters is really perfect! Each chapter focuses on the introduction of a core character, with clear character arcs and layered suspense. From the fate of the family in the old house in the south of the Yangtze River to the fatal confrontation in Cairo, the setting of the collision of Eastern and Western civilizations is both historical and full of adventure. The multi-line narrative finally ends perfectly on the banks of the Nile. The tension of the team's gathering is intertwined with the oppression of the underground mystery, making people eager to know what is hidden behind the door.
