In the end, Bayi alone makes it back out of the mountain. During the expedition, the team gets attacked by mysterious creatures and comes upon a tower harboring unknown powers.

Zhang Muye's best-selling novel series Ghost Blows Out the Light about tomb-raiding adventurers inspired two high-profile films in 2015, Wu'ershan's Mojin - The Lost Legend and Lu Chuan's Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe.
