The Lost Treasure of Lop Nur 2

Retired scout Qin Feng holds a fragment of his family's inherited Guide to Seeking Dragons. Skilled in feng shui and mechanisms, he has his quiet life upended by a phone call. His master, Liu the Butcher, brings news of his missing father. The trail lies in the blood-marked ancient tomb on Cangshan, sealed for generations by the White Miao.

Qin Feng gathers a tomb-exploration team and ventures deep into the mountains. Along the way, they face miasma, flash floods, and bizarre living terracotta figures blocking their path. The blood markings on the tomb walls writhe when warmed. Quicksand and poisoned-arrow traps claim lives one after another, while their greedy companion Scar covets the burial treasures and accidentally awakens blood-marked puppets and a colossal blood-marked progenitor deep underground. Trapped in a deadly predicament, the mute man seals a passage with his severed arm, while Lin Yue is infected by the blood markings.

After narrowly escaping with their lives, Qin Feng learns that his father is still alive in another space within the tomb. He reads his father's remaining diary, and characters from the desert suddenly appear before him. The eerie blood markings in the Cangshan tomb are merely one piece of a shocking mystery spanning the ages.
