Chapter 609 Life-or-Death Struggle in the Tomb - Young Master Gao Laughs in the Clouds
Wang Pangzi and his group narrowly escaped being caught by the ghost soldiers and entered the stone gate.

Once the stone door fell down, everyone thought they were safe. However, the ghost soldiers kept hammering at the stone door from the outside. Looking at the dust falling from the stone door, everyone smiled bitterly. It seemed that the stone door wouldn't last much longer. They had to find an exit before the ghost soldiers rushed in.

The group zoomed in with their powerful flashlights, examining the area around the tomb.

At this moment, Hei Xiazi spoke up: "This tomb has three levels, and we are currently on the second level..."

While listening to Hei Xiazi's explanation, everyone looked around for hidden doors or mechanisms.

The curse of the Tomb Raider Chronicles has come true once again: Wu Xie always raises a corpse when he opens a coffin, and Fatty always has an irresistible urge to touch things when he goes into tombs.

This time, however, it wasn't the fat man's hand that was clumsy, but his foot. He stepped on the stone carving on the floor tile in the middle of the tomb chamber.

"Click——"

"Fatty—" Wu Xie called out, somewhat speechless.

The fat man, feeling guilty, quickly fled, grinning sheepishly as he looked at the mechanism he had accidentally stepped on.

Upon seeing this, everyone immediately tensed up and became cautiously alert, observing their surroundings.

However, there were no hidden mechanisms or traps as everyone expected. Instead, the stone carvings on the floor tiles that the fat man stepped on slowly rose up and turned into a circular stone platform.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang immediately went forward to check. Around the stone platform were several gold plaques, each depicting a scene.

Wu Xie shone his flashlight on one of the gold medals, examining the picture on it closely. He exclaimed in surprise, "An underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands?!"

“The underwater tomb in Xisha, right? This seems to be the Seven Star Lu Palace here—” Fatty Wang said to Wu Xie.

"Could there be some connection between these tombs?" Wu Xie frowned as he pondered while examining the images on the other gold plaques.

"Old Qi, do you know this place?" Xie Yuchen asked Hei Xiazi.

Hei Xiazi said, "I don't know much either, but I've heard that there's a bronze fish with snake-like eyebrows hidden here."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xie immediately sensed a problem. He knew that Wang Zanghai was a Ming Dynasty person, while Buyanqi was a Northern Wei person, and the timelines didn't match.

Wait a minute—could it be that Wang Zanghai placed the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish here?

Wu Xie instinctively felt this was a setup, and muttered to himself, "Someone deliberately led us to Misty Village to achieve some kind of nefarious secret..."

Go Dong-wook!
This was the first person Wu Xie thought of. There was no way around it; not only was Young Master Gao mysterious, but he was also rich and powerful, and Wu Xie had already been controlled by him several times before.

Apart from Gao Dashao, in Wu Xie's mind, there really wasn't anyone who could set up such a trap, luring everyone into it.

"Could it be Young Master Gao?—" At this moment, Fatty Wang frowned and exclaimed with a face full of suspicion, "That shouldn't be the case. If Young Master Gao wanted the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, he would have just told us directly that he would buy it with money. He's not short of money..."

"The art of immortality!" Wu Xie's pupils shrank as he uttered what he believed could lead Gao Dongxu to set a trap.

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang frowned and fell silent, a worried expression appearing on his face.

When Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi heard Gao Dongxu's name, they both frowned slightly and looked at each other.

The two were no strangers to the name Gao Dongxu; in fact, they were very familiar with him, as Gao Dongxu was an absolute big name in the Chinese antique world.

The two had never met Gao Dongxu before, but seeing the fearless and reckless Fatty Wang become solemn and worried, and Wu Xie bowing his head and remaining silent, they could tell that the two were afraid of Gao Dongxu.

Yes, it's fear!
"If this really is a trap set by Young Master Gao, then we're definitely going to be played to death..." Fatty Wang looked up at Wu Xie with a wry smile and complained.

"Hehe, I can even imagine that right now, Young Master Gao is up there, eating barbecue, drinking, and holding Aning, waiting for us to come out—no wonder Aning hasn't shown up these last two times..."

After Fatty said that, Wu Xie became even more certain of his guess. He thought about the spot where he was lying when he woke up after being knocked unconscious by a taimen in the Qinling Tomb Passage. It was probably where A Ning and the others had rescued him.

Seeing the two of them looking like this, Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi couldn't help but ask curiously, "Gao Dongxu, I've heard of him. He's the owner of Zhenbaoge, a rising star in the antique world, but does that mean you two should look like this?"

"Not that bad? Heh..." Fatty Wang said with a wry smile, "Then you don't know how formidable he is..."

Wu Xie also smiled wryly. Xie Yuchen frowned and looked at Wu Xie, saying, "Is he very powerful?"

"He's more than just powerful; in my opinion, he's a monster. It's like there's nothing he doesn't know. He's not only incredibly shrewd, but he also has flawless strategies. He's rich, powerful, and incredibly strong. If you're with him, and he wants to scheme against you, you'll fall into his trap without even realizing it, and you'll end up doing all the work for him. He's like a bandit; wherever he goes, he leaves nothing but devastation..."

Wu Xie said with a wry smile, but he had very well concealed Gao Dongxu's extraordinary power. There were some things that could be said to outsiders, and some things that he would rather die than tell anyone.

"I don't believe it. Is Xiao Hua richer than him?" Hei Xiazi teased, somewhat skeptical, after hearing Wu Xie's words. Wu Xie smiled wryly, "Even if Xiao Hua is richer than him, he has power and influence. Don't ask, and I can't tell you anyway—"

"You haven't suffered enough at his hands yet. Once you've suffered a few losses, you'll know how formidable he is..."

Fatty Wang chimed in, then said with a hint of despair, "It's good that Young Master Gao is here; at least we don't have to worry about our safety. But those mysterious people are probably in for a lot of trouble."

"Are you so sure he's up there?" Xie Yuchen asked Wu Xie with a furrowed brow.

"I can't be 100% sure, but I'm about 80% sure. Even if he didn't come in person, A-Ning is definitely up there with her people, waiting for us to come out and eat what's served to us," Wu Xie said with a wry smile.

"This is so unfair! How can you play like this?" Seeing how certain Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were, Hei Xiazi also believed them and couldn't help but complain.

"Also, that guy named Aning, if I remember correctly, isn't he one of Jude Kao's men?"

Thinking of how A Ning was taken advantage of and subdued by Gao Dongxu, Wu Xie smiled bitterly, feeling a bit uneasy: "It used to be, but ever since Gao Dongxu took a liking to A Ning, in the end, A Ning became his person..."

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi stared in disbelief, their lips twitching slightly. Hei Xiazi exclaimed, "You can do it like that? I'm starting to admire that young master Gao a bit."

"Forget about that, let's see who's lying in the coffin—" Fatty Wang said as he walked, his gaze falling on the stone coffin beside him.

Distracted by this, everyone temporarily put aside their wild guesses and walked toward the coffin with curiosity, then worked together to open the coffin lid.

Fatty Wang pointed his gun at the coffin, looking ready to fire at any moment.

Everyone else also curiously peered into the coffin.

Then they saw a corpse lying inside, clad in armor. The corpse wore a bronze demon mask. The mask was exquisitely crafted, with a ferocious expression, a sinister smile playing on its lips, and two black holes around the eyes, seemingly able to stare directly into the soul.

“We’ve seen him before, the commander of the Silent Cavalry—” Wu Xie thought of the ghostly passageway they encountered underground in the Qinling Mountains. It was this commander who led the Silent Cavalry and even slashed Zhang Qiling with his broadsword.

Despite being dead for a thousand years, the body of the Silent Cavalry Commander was remarkably well-preserved. His hands were at his sides, and a large sword lay to one side. The patterns on his armor were clearly visible, each plate gleaming with a cold light. Most unsettlingly, even through the mask, one could sense an invisible majesty, as if the commander were merely asleep, ready to awaken at any moment.

While the others marveled at how the commander's body had remained incorrupt for a thousand years, Fatty Wang's eyes were fixed on a jade plaque on the armor.

The curse of the Tomb Raider Chronicles has struck again: Fatty always manages to touch things carelessly when he goes into tombs.

While everyone was distracted, the fat man reached out and removed the jade pendant from the armor. This very action brought about their annihilation.

Seeing Fatty stuffing things into his backpack, Wu Xie asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

The fat man pretended to be clueless and asked, "I didn't do anything, what's wrong?"

"boom--"

Just then, a deep, muffled sound came from behind them, and a green-glowing arm and fist rested on the edge of the coffin.

The Silent Cavalry Commander, his body wreathed in green will-o'-the-wisps, slowly rose from the coffin.

"Fatty—watch out!" Wu Xie's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly.

The fat man feigned an innocent and bewildered expression, then slowly turned around, his eyes widening in shock as he watched the Silent Cavalry Commander, his entire body wreathed in green ghostly flames, wielding a nearly two-meter-long broadsword as he slashed at him—

"Ah-"

Gao Dongxu, who was walking through the woods, suddenly sneezed. He rubbed his nose, frowned slightly, and muttered, "Someone's cursing me—"

Ru Xin and Ru Qing, who had been by Gao Dongxu's side, couldn't help but give him a coquettish glare when they heard his words.

Gao Dongxu glanced down at the GPS navigator in his hand; there was still quite a distance between them and the light spot where Aning was located.

Earlier on the way, he carefully recalled the plot of Misty Village and found that in the tomb that had long been transformed into a secret base, there were still many antiques used as decorations, as well as the weapons in the hands of the Silent Riders, especially the greatsword in the hands of the Silent Riders' commander, which was a rare divine weapon.

Well, the stuff inside is worth the ticket price for him to go down there himself.

Oh, and the armor worn by the Silent Cavalry Commander is also a good item.

We can also catch some of those miraculous filthy marrow worms and let the experts in the Ninth Bureau study them.

If you do the math, there are actually quite a few good things in the ancient tombs of Misty Village.
