Episode 13 recap: Wuxie Finds the Night King's Palace
In Episode 13, Old Feng bursts into the cave with his well-equipped foreign companions. They carefully follow the footprints left by Wuxie and the others, moving deeper into the cave. However, the footprints soon become a jumbled mess, indicating that Wuxie and the group have lost their way. With their numbers, the foreigners cleverly split into several small teams to search for a safe exit.
Meanwhile, the Fatty and I (let's just call me "I" for familiarity) have managed to avoid those scary puppets, and the path ahead has become much smoother. Strangely, the marks left by Zhang Qi Ling seem to suggest we are moving further away from danger. Yet, the surroundings are eerily quiet, not even a ghost in sight. Fatty jokes that maybe Zhang Qi Ling has a sense of humor and is just messing with us.
As we talk, Fatty slips and almost takes a tumble, but I quickly grab him just in time. Looking down, we discover a deep pit—over twenty meters deep! We toss a probe down and find even deeper holes below. So, the three of us—myself, Fatty, and Zhang Hai Ke—slide down the rope into the darkness.
Once below, it’s pitch black, and we cautiously move forward with our torches. Suddenly, we see a massive structure ahead. It's not quite a house; it’s suspended in the air by thick iron chains. This is something we’ve never seen before!
Zhang Hai Ke circles the strange structure several times, finding it looks like both a house and a giant metal box. I recall what I saw in the scrolls and remember what Wang Jinyuan had said. Suddenly, it dawns on me: this box-like structure must be the Night King's lair!
While we explore below, things are chaotic for the foreigners. The puppets are attacking them without mercy, causing them to fire their guns in panic, taking down several puppets—which only releases a swarm of poisonous snakes from their clothing. Old Feng nearly becomes a snack for the snakes!
Fortunately, Zhang Nian arrives just in time to scare the snakes away. He has a bone to pick with Zhang Qi Ling and is currently teaming up with the foreigners to create trouble for Wuxie and the others.
As for Jiu Ri, he is off on his own and ends up colliding with Zhang Hai Xing. Although their martial skills are similar, Zhang Hai Xing is distracted by his own troubles and gets knocked out by Jiu Ri.
Back at our end, we’ve climbed onto the roof of the metal box. Just when we think Zhang Qi Ling’s traps are foolproof, the structure suddenly splits open, as if a door has been made especially for us. Fatty, Zhang Hai Ke, and I stumble inside, clueless about the secrets that await us.
