Chapter 848 Knowing There Are Tigers in the Mountains, Yet Still Heading Towards Them
This was the first time everyone had truly experienced and witnessed an avalanche. The accumulated snow poured down like a raging mudslide. Everyone held up their riot shields until no more snow fell before they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This is fucking terrifying—" Wang Yueban pulled Wu Xie out to look at the still-pouring avalanche, with a white mist of snow covering the bottom of the cliff.

Looking up, all the snow on the cliff face had cascaded down, revealing the original appearance of the glacier on the mountainside.

The massive glacier reflected a mesmerizing orange glow in the setting sun, as if it had been coated with a layer of gold.

"Look, isn't there something in the ice?" At this moment, Wang Yueban, who was looking at the glacier under their feet with Wu Xie, suddenly turned around and said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately gathered around, took out their powerful flashlights, and shone them down onto the glacier below.

However, the glacier is not very transparent, and the inside is very murky, making it difficult to see clearly, mainly because the glacier is too thick.

Only Gao Dongxu knew what was inside the glacier. A smile appeared on his face. He had found the burial tomb!
Although it was a fake mausoleum built by Wang Zanghai.

"Let's go down and take a look—" Gao Dongxu shouted, and everyone immediately began to prepare.

Gao Dongxu, Wang Yueban, Wu Xie, Hu Bayi, and Pan Zi were all secured with ropes and lowered down to the glacier below.

As soon as they arrived at the glacier, Wang Yueban shone a flashlight on it and pressed his chubby face against the glacier to examine what was inside.

"Holy crap, it's a big-headed baby—"

The fat man had a sharp eye and quickly spotted what was inside the glacier. He was startled and exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing this, everyone became curious and took out their flashlights to illuminate the glacier. When they saw what was inside the glacier, they exclaimed in surprise. Deep inside the dark blue, translucent glacier, there was indeed a huge shadow that almost occupied half of the ice cliff. Judging from its shape, it did indeed look like a large-headed baby with its arms and legs curled up.

However, the shape of the big-headed baby is very strange, incongruous, and extremely bizarre. Its head is huge and its body is covered with sharp spikes, which makes people feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

Panzi cursed, "What the hell is this thing?"

Wu Xie and Wang Yueban both frowned and shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen or heard of it either.

Hu Bayi squinted his eyes, looking deep in thought. Wang Kaixuan and Yang Xueli had seen many extraordinary monsters and creatures, but this was the first time they had ever seen something like this. Their curiosity was piqued as they looked at the big-headed baby in the ice.

"This thing is called Kunlun Embryo!" Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile, revealing the answer.

"Kunlun fetus?"

"Young Master Gao, do you recognize this?"

Gao Dongxu nodded slightly and smiled, "You know Sun Wukong, right? His prototype is the Kunlun Embryo. The origin of the Kunlun Embryo can be traced back to the *Great Tang Yin-Yang Book* of the Tang Dynasty. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, people accidentally discovered a huge ice embryo beneath a giant cirque in the Kunlun Mountains. This ice embryo had clear facial features and was actually a lifelike female infant. Therefore, the 'earth-born embryo' is also called the 'Kunlun Embryo'..."

“I remember now, it really is the Kunlun Embryo. I never thought I would have the honor of seeing something so legendary today. This trip has truly been worthwhile!” Hu Bayi said with delight.

"Holy crap, there really are such eerie things?" Wang Kaixuan squatted down, shining his flashlight on the dark shadow in the glacier, and exclaimed in amazement, "But it's so terrifying, covered in thorns..."

“None of that matters. Now that we’ve found the Kunlun Embryo, the burial tomb must be inside it. Wang Zanghai will definitely not turn a blind eye to this,” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

The so-called Kunlun Embryo was nothing more than a trap set by Wang Zanghai. The entrance to the Heavenly Palace he created was fake; he used ancient architectural complexes under the glacier to create the image of the Kunlun Embryo, all to lure tomb raiders.

The underground palace below was filled with deadly traps and mechanisms. However, the reason Gao Dongxu, knowing it was a fake, still chose to enter the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top from the Little Sacred Mountain was because he knew this path well.

Of course, the most important thing is that only by following this path can one successfully find the treasure vault.

"How are we going to get down? The ice is so thick, it'll take us forever to break through. We've never been down into an ice cirque before..." Panzi took out his dagger, stabbed it into the ice a few times, and then said with a furrowed brow.

"If all else fails, continue using explosives..."

"What a terrible idea! If you want to die, don't drag us down with you—" Wang Kaixuan said with a sullen laugh as he kicked Wang Yueban, who had come up with the terrible idea.

"Heat the chisels with fire—" Gao Dongxu said with a faint smile, then looked up and shouted to the people above, "Take down all the smokeless furnaces, let's get to work—"

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's suggestion, Hu Bayi and Wu Xie's eyes lit up.

Heating the ice with fire is the best method. It's important to know that the hardness of ice is directly related to temperature; as the temperature rises, the hardness decreases, the surface of the ice becomes brittle, and the chain reaction caused by striking it is weakened.

Soon, everyone above lowered down with smokeless furnace ropes, lit them, and placed them in a circle on the iceberg. After waiting for a few minutes, they all started working together, chiseling and shoveling.

Sure enough, the knowledge taught in school was not wasted; you never know when you might need it.

With the smokeless furnace and enough people, they managed to create a pit about one meter in diameter and seven or eight meters deep before it got completely dark. "This isn't naturally formed ice—" As a top student in architecture, Wu Xie noticed something amiss and frowned as he spoke.

"Whether it's natural or man-made, I'll go down and drill through it—"

It must be said that Wang Yueban's courage is truly extraordinary. He always has the courage to try things that many people consider extremely dangerous.

Although he often caused a lot of trouble because of his greed, his boldness and courage could indeed boost morale, which is why Gao Dongxu appreciated him and was willing to recruit him.

Wang Yueban, with a rope tied around his waist, descended to the bottom of the ice well. He heated the ice under his feet with a smokeless stove for a while before picking up a hammer and starting to smash it.

"Crack—whoosh—" In just one moment, he smashed the ice under his feet.

"Holy crap—that scared me to death—" Wang Yue, who almost fell in, braced himself against the sides of the ice well with his feet, feeling the cold wind surging up from the cave entrance below, and couldn't help but shiver.

"The bottom is empty—"

Upon hearing Wang Yueban's shout, everyone immediately pulled him up, and then everyone gathered around the cave entrance, shining powerful flashlights down into the cave.

Below was a huge, dark space, indistinct and unclear. Gao Dongxu frowned and said, "Wu Xie, Yue Ban, Master Hu, and Pan Zi, let's go down and take a look first. The rest of you can wait for news up here."

"it is good--"

No one objected, and they immediately prepared a rope long enough. During this time, Gao Dongxu deliberately pretended to take out three sections of steel pipe, twist them together, and then pulled them out of his spatial storage by pulling them in and out.

After the group tied the ropes together, Gao Dongxu was the first to rappel down, shining a powerful flashlight around the dark, vast space.

The entire space is like a giant bowl upside down inside the mountain. The surrounding cliffs are made up of countless wooden beams covered with icicles, intertwined like ancient scaffolding, supporting the outside. Undoubtedly, these are the thorns on the body of the creepy-looking fetus.

Below the cliff is a bottomless, pitch-black abyss.

Two enormous statues of heavenly kings are built against the mountain, guarding the square palace below that is covered with snow.

The people who rappelled down were stunned by what they saw, and they were almost speechless.

"Holy crap, if even a burial tomb is this magnificent, how spectacular must the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds be?!" Wang Yueban's voice trembled with shock.

However, to Gao Dongxu, Wang Yueban was definitely more excited than shocked.

"Indeed, it's unimaginable. I have to say, the wisdom of the ancients is truly awe-inspiring. Wang Zanghai—he was a genius!" Wu Xie exclaimed in astonishment.

The three of them, Hu Bayi and his companions, who were well-informed, were not particularly shocked by this. Having witnessed the Ascension Palace of the Prince of Xian, the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds probably wouldn't be as surprising to them.

"Hahaha... This is really going to be our fortune!" Wang Yueban laughed heartily with excitement.

Wu Xie and Pan Zi also high-fived in celebration. Gao Dongxu simply smiled, completely understanding their joy.

As tomb raiders, how many people in today's society can actually excavate a tomb of the imperial level?

Even if you couldn't take any treasures out, and you took everything out, that would be enough to brag about for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but look at Hu Bayi and the other two. Sure enough, although the three of them were also very happy and had smiles on their faces, they did not show the slightest bit of amazement.

They continued rappelling and landed safely on the roof of the enormous spirit palace.

Gao Dongxu took out a walkie-talkie and contacted the people upstairs, asking them to come down as well. At the same time, he used his mind to contact Gu Lian and Li Zhiying.

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's instructions, everyone immediately began to gather supplies, connect ropes, and get busy.

Su Nan, who was connecting the ropes with two members of the Wang family, saw Gu Lian and Li Zhiying walking behind her two subordinates. Thinking they were looking for her, she smiled and was about to stand up to ask what was wrong when her beautiful eyes widened in surprise.

Originally, Lee Ji-young, who was innocent and lively in her eyes, and Goo Ryun, who was a bit cold and aloof but actually very gentle after getting to know her, made a lightning-fast move, and the chilling daggers slashed across the necks of her two subordinates.

"you--"

Su Nan instinctively took a step back, his face filled with disbelief. His eyes widened as he quickly drew his dagger and assumed a defensive stance. He watched helplessly as his two subordinates stared wide-eyed, clutching their necks tightly, blood gushing out as they collapsed onto the snow.

"I'm sorry, Sister Su Nan, my master ordered us to eliminate any potential threats. We cannot have any enemies around us during our subsequent adventures..." Li Zhiying said softly, apologizing as she sheathed her dagger.
