Arriving here, the three of them no longer needed torches for illumination, because this place was even brighter than above.
They looked around with the light from the phosphorescence, and soon in the depths of the cave they saw a strange rock in the form of a giant hand. In the "palm" of that stone hand, there lay a person – none other than Lei Buji.
Ever since the search for firewood when he fell victim to the Illusion Technique, Buji had not woken up. He had been imprisoned in nightmares by Tong Chen and was unable to wake up by his own strength, so he just lay there.
According to Tong Chen's original plan, he intended to capture Lei Buji, Xie Run, Sun Yixie, and Huang Donglai, all four of them, and throw them onto that "hand," then begin the ritual.
But his plan had undoubtedly met with some unexpected difficulties, as he hadn't anticipated how difficult it would be to capture the other three.
