Chapter 533 A Triumphant Return: The Battle of Gold
"Holy crap, there really is something following us—" Fatty Wang immediately shone his flashlight around, his heart pounding with fear as he muttered to himself.

"It should be the first Forbidden Woman we encountered. That thing is afraid of fire, so we were really worried. We took out a lighter, lit it, and then it didn't dare to wrap its hair around you anymore," Gao Dongxu said casually.

"Forbidden Women? They really exist?" Wu Xie said in surprise.

“Sea monkeys exist, so what’s so strange about the existence of forbidden women? Up to now, you’ve experienced and seen everything, yet you still view the world through the eyes of an ordinary person. Don’t you find that laughable?” Gao Dongxu said with a cold laugh as he walked.

Wu Xie chuckled awkwardly. Indeed, everything he had seen and heard at the Lu Palace, as well as his experiences along the way, showed that this world was full of unknowns and mysteries.

The group continued forward and soon emerged from the hidden door, arriving at the bottom of the pool. They then dispersed to search for the holes in the pool wall.

The tunnel wasn't hard to find; it didn't take long. However, the tunnel was about five or six meters above the bottom of the pool.

This height was no challenge for Gao Dongxu. With a running start and a burst of internal energy, he easily jumped onto the tunnel, using the pool wall as a foothold. Then he lowered the rope and pulled the others up into the tunnel one by one.

Following the tunnel back to the tomb where the twelve-armed female corpse was located, Wu Xie and his companions saw the missing golden nanmu coffin and couldn't help but look at Gao Dongxu, who had walked ahead. They sighed at Gao Dongxu's unscrupulous and ruthless behavior.

Fatty Wang even suspected that Gao Dongxu might have inherited the legacy of the Unloading Ridge sect, which led to swarms of people whenever ancient tombs or large mounds appeared, who would then excavate them with all their might, destroy the corpses, level the hills, and loot the treasures, leaving nothing behind.

"Alright, everyone, put on your oxygen tanks and get ready to go into the water—" After returning to the landing chamber and seeing that there were no burial objects, Gao Dongxu knew that they had returned at the right time and had not entered another chamber by taking the elevator.

Everyone immediately put on their diving masks, bit their regulators, put on their fins, and walked into the sea one by one, turning on their diving flashlights and beginning their descent.

The icy seawater surrounded everyone, and all they could hear was their own rapid breathing and the hissing sound of gas flowing from the oxygen tanks.

The group was retracing their steps through the tomb passage, each person wearing heavy diving gear and carrying oxygen tanks, moving slowly like a group of clumsy sea turtles in the dark water.

Fatty Wang wiggled his obese body in front of Wu Xie, occasionally turning back to shine his flashlight to make sure Wu Xie hadn't fallen behind. A Ning and Gao Dongxu swam at the very front, while Zhang Qiling silently brought up the rear as usual.

They'd been sucked in by that damned "toilet flush" vortex, but getting out was much easier. The tomb passage was filled with seawater, and the group swam upwards like a school of fish along the sloping path. Ahead, they could vaguely see an open stone door—the entrance they'd come in through, and now their only exit.

Everyone increased the frequency of their kicking, eager to get back to the boat as quickly as possible.

However, just as everyone swam out of the stone gate, for some reason, Wu Xie inexplicably turned back and glanced back.

That glance almost made Wu Xie's heart stop beating.

Because he saw a white shadow rapidly drifting out of the stone gate and chasing after them.

A face as pale as paper, eyes like black holes, and countless strands of long, black hair floating in the sea—it's the Forbidden Woman!

Wu Xie even saw the forbidden woman give him a strange smile. Fear overwhelmed him like a tidal wave. He instinctively opened his mouth to scream, but only managed to exhale a string of frantic bubbles. Wu Xie desperately kicked the water, trying to escape, but suddenly felt a tightness in his right leg.

Looking down, he saw that his calves were covered with those eerie black hairs, which seemed to be alive as they spread upwards along his legs. He struggled, but found that the hairs were wrapping around him tighter and tighter, almost digging into his flesh.

"Waaah!" Wu Xie made a muffled sound, waving frantically at the people in front of him. Fatty Wang was the first to notice Wu Xie's abnormality. His fat body nimbly swam in the water and swam towards Wu Xie without hesitation.

Wu Xie shook his head frantically, trying to stop him from coming closer, but Fatty had already swum to his side. Fatty grabbed Wu Xie's arm, trying to pull him away, but unexpectedly, the hair seemed to have discovered new prey, and suddenly a strand of it separated and wrapped around Fatty's wrist.

"Damn!" The fat man exhaled a string of bubbles, then pulled out a diving knife with his other hand and went to cut the hair. But strangely, the hair was completely unharmed as the blade sliced ​​through it; instead, it became even more tightly tangled.

Jiang Zisuan noticed the anomaly as he watched A Ning and Gao Dongxu ahead. He immediately turned to help, but Gao Dongxu stopped him. Gao Dongxu shook his head and pointed to Zhang Qiling behind him. Zhang Qiling was already rushing towards Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi like an arrow.

The Forbidden Woman's face appeared and disappeared in the darkness. Her long hair had already wrapped around Wu Xie's waist and was beginning to spread towards his oxygen tube. Wu Xie watched in horror as the strands of hair, like snakes, crawled up his mask and into his mouth. Fatty wasn't in much better shape; his legs were completely bound, and he was struggling in vain.

With his oxygen tube constricted and panic causing him to spit out the oxygen, Wu Xie felt himself suffocating. The burning pain in his lungs told him that if he didn't escape soon, he would really drown here. Just at this critical moment, a dark shadow swept past him, moving so fast that it almost created a whirlpool in the water.

Brother!

His slender body moved with unnatural agility in the water, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Forbidden Woman. Wu Xie saw him extend his right hand, his index and middle fingers joined together to form a sword-like gesture, precisely aiming for the Forbidden Woman's brow.

In that instant, time seemed to stand still. The Forbidden Woman's black, abyssal eyes suddenly widened, filled with resentment and pain. She opened her mouth and let out a silent scream. The long, black hair that had been binding him and the fat man suddenly turned deathly white, and then began to disintegrate like paper burned by fire.

Even more bizarrely, the Forbidden Woman's entire body began to disintegrate, transforming into countless glowing jellyfish that scattered in all directions. These jellyfish emitted a ghostly blue light, illuminating the entire tomb passage—breathtakingly beautiful, yet undeniably eerie. The restraints on Wu Xie and Fatty Wang vanished instantly. Wu Xie hurriedly checked his oxygen tubes and began to gasp for air.

Zhang Qiling swam over, grabbed Wu Xie with one hand and Fatty with the other, and quickly swam upwards with the two of them. Jiang Zisuan also rushed over to help, and the six of them swam towards the surface of the sea.

The heads of the six men broke the surface of the sea. One by one, they removed their goggles and respirators, greedily inhaling the fresh air.

It was already sunset, and the fiery clouds on the horizon were reflected in the sea, creating an exceptionally enchanting scene. The sun was deep red, emitting a dim yellow light, enveloping everything in a soft glow, forming a very beautiful and peaceful picture.

It must be said that Gao Dongxu had seen several sunsets, but he had never felt that this was as beautiful as this one, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

While everyone was captivated by the beautiful sunset, Fatty Wang was thrashing about like a stranded fish, coughing and cursing.

"Damn it, I almost died there," the fat man said, panting heavily.

"I said, naive, does that old hag have taken a fancy to you and want you to stay with her? Why is she chasing after you like that?"

"."

Faced with Wang Pangzi's complaints, Wu Xie was both amused and exasperated. He ignored him and turned to look at Zhang Qiling, who was floating quietly on the water, his face paler than usual, and a rare hint of weariness showing in his usually calm eyes. Wu Xie knew that the finger strike just now was not as simple as it seemed.

"Hey buddy, are you alright?"

"It's nothing—" Zhang Qiling said calmly.

Gao Dongxu gave Zhang Qiling a meaningful look, then said, "Let's talk about it on the ship."

Just then, the tin fishing boat sailed towards them, and with the help of the sailors and Erpang, Fugui, Fusheng, and others, the six of them climbed onto the boat.

One by one, they eagerly unzipped their wetsuits, the sunlight shining on them dispelling some of the chill from the seabed.

Wu Xie felt a dull ache in the area on his right leg where the hair had been wrapped around his leg. He looked down and saw that there were indeed rings of bluish-purple marks left behind.

Fusheng and Fugui handed each of the six people a towel, and the six of them dried their hair.

"What exactly was that thing?" Jiang Zisuan broke the silence, his voice trembling. "How did it suddenly turn into a jellyfish?"

Zhang Qiling leaned against the ship's railing, his eyes closed, seemingly not intending to answer.

Gao Dongxu glanced at him and then said, "It was indeed quite unexpected, but the world is full of wonders. Anyway, we've all been wiped out, so there's no need to think about it anymore. Now, I just want to go back to land, find a hotel, take a hot shower, and get a good night's sleep until I naturally wake up—"

“Me too—” Fatty Wang shouted in agreement.

"Then what are we waiting for, captain, full speed back—" Gao Dongxu shouted to the captain.

"Okay, Mr. Gao—"

The fishing boat began to speed towards the nearest island, Yongxing. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the group smoked cigarettes, watched the sea recede into the distance, and reminisced about their experience in the underwater tomb.

It has to be said that once you've seen something, you can never truly escape it. Gao Dongxu's spatial divine skill, the evil child who could become invisible, the twelve-armed female corpse, the white-haired drought demon, those glowing jellyfish, that pale-faced forbidden woman, and Zhang Qiling's mysterious finger strike—all of these lingered in their minds.

Ignoring the others, Gao Dongxu closed his eyes and entered the space, gazing upon ten precious giant golden nanmu trees, a huge red coral tree, ten luminous pearls, forty-two fish-eye stones, a cluster of golden palaces, jade and emerald rockeries, four enormous bronze mirrors, over a hundred pieces of Yuan and Ming dynasty blue-and-white porcelain, a golden nanmu coffin for raising corpses, and a double-phoenix carved coffin containing a sleeping evil child, along with over five hundred gold-paved floor tiles...

He returned home laden with treasures once again. Although he did not intend to sell them this time, these rare and precious items would become part of his wealth.

Next, the battle for the gold will begin!
The gold from an entire tree, a full eight tons of gold bars!

Oh, and there are also four zodiac animal heads. By combining two animals, these four animal heads can give him a golden aura!

A few hours later, they arrived at Yongxing Island. Disaster prevention preparations were underway on the island, and many fishing boats were taking refuge. Gao Dongxu and his group packed their luggage and checked into the Xisha Hotel. Fishermen usually stay on their own boats so they can help each other if anything happens. With the typhoon, there are not many tourists, and the hotels are basically empty.
