Chapter 526 No Taboos, Easy Success
"Gudong-"

Jiang Zisuan looked shocked, swallowed hard with a bit of fear, his facial muscles stiff, and stole a glance at his sister beside him.

At this moment, Ah Ning also stared wide-eyed at the evil boy's eerie, porcelain-like face.

Instead of a blank expression, the evil child's eerie white porcelain face revealed joy and anticipation, tinged with a hint of fear, as his blood-red eyes stared intently at the female corpse's stomach.

Gao Dongxu, meanwhile, held a Legalist bronze mirror in his hand, his eyes fixed on the female corpse's stomach.

The woman's belly suddenly swelled up, protruding into the shape of a face, as if desperately trying to break out. The skin on the woman's belly had been stretched transparent, and even the facial features of the thing inside could be clearly seen.

Jiang Zisuan and A Ning involuntarily took a step back, feeling a chill run down their spines. They gripped their pistols tightly, as if only in this way could they feel safe.

"puff--"

With a muffled sound like a balloon bursting, a large hole appeared in the woman's stomach, revealing a huge, ferocious white-haired baby's head. The baby squinted its eyes, let out a piercing cry at the evil child, and revealed a mouthful of sharp, saw-like teeth.

"Om-"

Gao Dongxu coldly raised the magic mirror in his hand, activated his spiritual energy, and the mirror emitted a yellow light that shone directly on the face of the little white-haired drought demon.

The entire white-haired drought demon was immediately frozen in place. The evil child standing next to Gao Dongxu seemed impatient, a strange smile appearing on his white porcelain face, emitting eerie giggling sounds that made A Ning and Jiang Zisuan's hair stand on end, their palms full of cold sweat as they gripped their pistols.

“Go ahead,” Gao Dongxu said calmly.

The next moment, the evil child took a step and ran towards the female corpse. Then, in a flash, he appeared behind the white-haired drought demon. His white porcelain face immediately cracked open, revealing a gaping maw full of sharp teeth. He bit down directly on the white-haired drought demon's neck, and his blood-red eyes turned white.

A Ning and Jiang Zisuan shuddered, their pupils contracted, and they stared at the bizarre and brutal scene with a chill running down their spines.

The baby's body, which was originally exaggeratedly plump, was visibly shrunken.

. . . . . .

Aning and Jiang Zisuan watched without blinking as the evil child sucked the white-haired drought demon into a dried-up infant corpse, about ten centimeters long and as dry as a tree branch.

Gao Dongxu, who had already put away the Legalist bronze mirror, looked at the evil child whose lips had turned bright red and whose corners were upturned, dripping black blood, and said, "Return—"

A glint flashed in the evil child's blood-red eyes. Like an adorable three-year-old who had just learned to run, he ran back to the double-phoenix coffin, climbed into it, and slowly closed his blood-red eyes.

Gao Dongxu immediately closed the coffin lid and then put the double phoenix coffin into his spatial storage.

"Are you done?" Ah Ning asked softly.

Gao Dongxu looked at A Ning and smiled, "Alright, this little guy advances by devouring the essence of other zombies, blood corpses, and drought demons. But it's too weak right now, so we have to help it to devour them."

"Are you sure you can completely control it?" Ah Ning asked softly, her face showing concern.

"Don't worry, it's completely under control. Wang Zanghai somehow obtained this evil child. Fortunately, he didn't know the method of refining it, so it became a wild monster without an owner. Otherwise, with it guarding this underwater tomb, as many people as came, they would die." Gao Dongxu said with emotion. He really had to thank Wang Zanghai. Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to obtain this great weapon.

"Sister, brother-in-law, what other abilities does that little thing have besides invisibility?"

At this moment, Jiang Zisuan hesitated for a long time before feeling a little embarrassed and awkwardly calling out "brother-in-law." He looked at Gao Dongxu with great excitement and admiration and asked.

Ah Ning's pretty face flushed red. She gave Gao Dongxu, who was teasing her with raised eyebrows, a charming glare, and bit her red lips, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

Gao Dongxu looked at Jiang Zisuan and said, "Its teeth and nails are covered in corpse poison. After absorbing the drought demon this time, its corpse poison will become even more potent, and it will also become stronger than before."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Zisuan nodded slightly and exclaimed sincerely, "The little guy's invisibility is too overpowered; it's practically a divine skill for sneak attacks and assassinations."

"Hehe, it's still very weak now, with fragile skin and low health, it can't stop bullets at all unless it advances to a higher level," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go catch up with Wu Xie and the others, lest we really get separated." A Ning interrupted the two from continuing their conversation, frowning as she spoke.

"Don't worry, even if you get separated, you'll eventually reunite." Gao Dongxu put on gloves and began to examine the corpses, carefully collecting the jade, emeralds, and various gemstone and gold and silver ornaments from the twelve female corpses.

Finally, under A Ning's speechless and helpless gaze with a bitter smile, Jiang Zisuan, his face blank and his lips twitching, put away the huge golden nanmu coffin.

Only then did he and the other two, armed with powerful flashlights, jump down into the tunnel to chase after Wu Xie and his companions. The tunnel was cleverly constructed by removing bricks, with only half of each brick being knocked away. This allowed an arched brick beam to naturally form at the top of the tunnel, preventing anything above from collapsing. This kind of craftsmanship truly required skill and would likely have taken several days to complete.

After climbing a few steps, the tunnel began to slope downwards, and the bottom was all water. However, the section with water was not long. After diving into the water and swimming a few steps, the tunnel widened and turned into a large pool.

The three held their breath and floated to the surface. As soon as they emerged from the water, they saw Wu Xie and Fatty Wang pointing a spear at them.

"Why did you take so long to get here?" Fatty Wang put away his spear and hurriedly went to help Gao Dongxu and the other two ashore.

"It's not that we're slow, it's that you guys run too fast..." Jiang Zisuan complained irritably, "You were all scared like that just because you saw a white-haired hand, you're really something, calling yourselves tomb raiders and grave robbers."

"Ahem..." Wu Xie coughed twice, a little embarrassed.

Fatty Wang retorted defiantly, "I'm not afraid of that thing at all, but even someone as skilled as you, Brother, ran away when he saw it. What am I showing off for? But seriously, I don't understand why we ran away. Brother, what is that thing? Is it really that powerful? It looks so light. A few javelins should be enough to take it down."

The Silent One touched his wrist and said, "That was just a white-haired drought demon. Cutting off its head would kill it, but once it dies, a large amount of corpse poison will evaporate, and with so little air left, it's not worth it."

"A drought demon?!" Wu Xie exclaimed in shock. "It's a legendary ghost that can cause droughts. It's also said that zombies that stay in the corpse-raising ground for too long may turn into drought demons. The Book of Songs says that drought demons wreak havoc, like burning fire. In short, there are many different stories about this thing. I never expected it to be like this."

"The drought demon is actually just a half-baked monster; a bowl of black dog blood would be enough to destroy it," Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile.

"By the way, why are you guys so slow? Did you kill that drought demon?" Fatty Wang asked Jiang Zisuan, then looked at Gao Dongxu, who had a calm expression, and his eyes lit up.

"Nonsense, with my brother-in-law's help, it's a piece of cake," Jiang Zisuan said smugly, looking quite nonchalant.

"Hehe, you're calling me 'brother-in-law' so smoothly now, huh? Good for you, you've got potential..." Fatty Wang chuckled, teasing Jiang Zisuan, who was still a bit shy, while glancing at A Ning's pretty face.

"You fatso, do you believe I'll shoot you with an arrow?" Jiang Zisuan threatened through gritted teeth, his face flushed, and then secretly glanced at Gao Dongxu.

"Hahaha, I don't believe it." Fatty Wang continued to tease Jiang Zisuan.

"Alright, stop fooling around." A Ning scolded the two of them impatiently, then looked at Wu Xie and frowned, saying, "When you went down into the tunnel, did you find any other side paths? This tunnel is unusual; it actually leads to this pool. That's not very likely."

I suspect the hole beneath the pool was just one exit. Perhaps when the person digging the hole wasn't certain of the main coffin's location, they dug holes in several possible directions, and this was just one of them.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang both shook their heads and said no, the tunnel wasn't long and it was obviously all the way to the end.

As a top student in the Department of Architecture at Zhejiang University, Wu Xie frowned and pondered for a while before saying, "I guess he must have entered the side chamber from the spring, and the side chamber was still in a state of no door. He had no choice but to dig out a passage. But this guy was really unlucky. When he dug into the side chamber, he found the coffin stone. When he dug into the side chamber, he found a pool. I wonder if he dug through the main tomb chamber."

Just as everyone was lamenting the man's bad luck, Fatty Wang suddenly shouted, "Something's come up from the water again—"

Everyone turned around and looked at the pool, where a large number of bubbles suddenly appeared in the center.

The bubbles rose evenly and rapidly, and seemed to be expanding outwards, as if there was a large creature at the bottom of the pool, breathing heavily.

Except for Gao Dongxu, everyone else drew their guns and stood guard, their backs pressed tightly against the wall. Wu Xie was already so nervous that he felt powerless. Along the way, he had encountered human-faced monsters, sea monkeys, and even a white-clad, long-haired female zombie in the sea, as well as evil children and white-haired drought demons. While these encounters broadened his horizons, they also filled him with dread.

What monsters await them next is anyone's guess.

The bubbles rose for about five minutes, then suddenly a muffled, inexplicable sound came from the bottom of the pool.

At the same time, the water level in the pool began to drop, and more than a dozen whirlpools gradually appeared on the surface. Water splashed everywhere, as if more than a dozen toilets were flushing at the same time. The basin coffin spun frantically with the water flow, like a spinning top.

In an instant, the water level dropped two or three meters. The group was puzzled and rushed forward. They shone their powerful flashlights into the pool and saw a stone staircase on the inner wall of the pool. The staircase spiraled down the wall and seemed to lead directly to the bottom of the pool.

It went underwater very quickly, disappearing into the pitch-black bottom of the pool before I could even observe it closely, with only the roar of the whirlpool still echoing in the air.

The group scanned the pool briefly with their flashlights and discovered that it was bowl-shaped, wider at the top and narrower at the bottom, and more than ten meters deep. Although the powerful flashlights had enough penetrating power, the misty water below shrouded the bottom of the pool in a hazy darkness, making it impossible to see anything clearly.

Gao Dongxu took out a large bundle of adventure glow sticks from his spatial storage, gave a handful to each person, and then lit them up and threw them into the pool. When the others saw this, they also lit up their glow sticks and threw them down.

Soon, a hazy glow appeared at the bottom of the pool. Gao Dongxu took out a deep-sea searchlight with extremely strong penetrating power and turned the light up to the maximum. Although it didn't illuminate everything clearly, the bottom was roughly outlined. The bottom of the pool was a circular plane with a diameter of ten meters, with reliefs carved on it. The specific patterns were unclear, but it was certain that there were several large holes on it, which looked like drainage outlets.
