They descended the staircase after entering the stone chamber, a place the indigenous tribe called Divine Land, where ordinary access was forbidden. Only the Chieftain had the privilege of entry, and Tie Dan was entering for the first time, having received temporary permission from the Chieftain, thus leading Ye Wudao and Zhao Xiaodie there.
Ye Wudao's speculation was correct; the Divine Herb indeed grew within. Not far down, Ye Wudao and Zhao Xiaodie spotted discarded mineral water bottles and biscuit wrappers strewn on the ground.
Ye Wudao noted that the packaging bore Spanish words, likely indicating they were purchased locally as supplies.
Beyond the staircase lay a large hall with many chaotic footprints. The prints with shoe imprints were likely those of the people who had massacred the tribe, while the bare footprints presumably belonged to Tie Dan's people.
