Chapter 850 Fate Will Guide You

"Generally speaking, shrines usually contain either deities or statues of the deceased... This centipede, it just looks like an evil god—"

Hu Bayi frowned as he stood around the giant bronze centipede statue. He had seen the Huo family's immortal worm before, so he was genuinely worried that such a monster might emerge from the tomb.

His past experience told him that he should believe the murals and strange tomb guardian beasts depicted in the tombs of kings and generals, or he would not even know how he died.

"Young Master Gao, based on past experience, the tomb owner wouldn't speak without reason. Next, we need to be careful of encountering giant insect monsters, or countless centipedes..."

Hu Bayi walked over to Gao Dongxu, who was also looking at the bronze statue, and gave him a reminder.

"Hmm." Gao Dongxu nodded. He knew better than anyone what he would encounter. To be honest, he wasn't afraid of encountering centipedes, but he was afraid that his group of women would scream and yell when they saw insects.

Hearing their conversation, Wu Xie's lips twitched a few times. He suddenly remembered what Gao Dongxu had told them about the record inside the bronze fish: the King of Ten Thousand Slaves was a monster that crawled out of the ground... Wait, could it be this thing? No way...

Wu Xie's eyes widened, and he subconsciously watched the bronze statue retreat.

Just then, Panzi shouted, "Look what I found..."

Everyone looked at him and saw Wang Yueban supporting him from below, while Pan Zi stepped on his shoulders and climbed onto a bronze vessel, taking a small object out of the mouth of the human-faced bird.

Wu Xie was speechless. Fatty and Panzi, those two troublemakers, had teamed up. He hurriedly shouted, "Watch out for traps!"

“It’s alright, I’ve already checked, there are no traps, here we go—” Pan Zi said with a smile as he tossed the object in his hand to Wu Xie.

Wu Xie hurriedly caught it and, upon closer inspection, saw that it was a gilded bronze monkey with a blue face and fangs, its body engraved with countless strange patterns, like a tattooed little devil.

Everyone was very curious, as they had never seen such a design for a sacred artifact before. Wu Xie immediately showed it to everyone, but no one could explain why.

Meanwhile, Wang Yueban and Pan Zi had already pulled four bronze monkeys out of the mouths of the other four bronze vessels.

Somewhat unwilling to have only taken five bronze monkeys, Wang Yueban, who still wanted to find some burial items to take with him, pointed to a dark corner where he couldn't see anything at all and said to Gao Dongxu with a shameless grin, "Young Master Gao, how about we search it thoroughly?"

“No need. It’s pretty much certain that this burial tomb has no funerary objects. I guess this is probably a fake tomb built by Wang Zanghai—” Gao Dongxu walked to the giant bronze monster statue, reached out and wiped away the frost, revealing a nine-square grid disc.

"A fake tomb?!" Wu Xie, Fatty Wang, Pan Zi and the others exclaimed in surprise.

Hu Bayi looked around, frowned, took out his compass again, activated the Dragon-Seeking Technique, and finally looked at the compass needle, saying to Gao Dongxu, "Young Master Gao, the direction is correct, but it might be interfered with..."

"It doesn't matter anymore. We've come this far. Whether it's interference or not, whether it's real or fake, we have to find out the truth. Wang Zanghai has been preparing this scheme for five or six hundred years. We can't miss it."

Gao Dongxu smiled and said, then looked at Wu Xie and said, "This nine-square grid is the mechanism to open the stone door. You take these jade tablets and fill in the nine-square grid. The rest of you, clear the snow and frost off this giant statue—"

"Yes--"

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's arrangement, everyone immediately agreed and quickly began to perform their respective duties and get to work.

Gao Dongxu then went around and collected all the bronze artifacts that could be stored in his spatial storage.

Yang Xueli, whose beautiful eyes had been secretly observing Gao Dongxu, was now stunned, staring in disbelief at the bronze human-faced bird statue that had just vanished in the blink of an eye.

Gao Dongxu turned to look at Yang Xueli, who was looking at him, and gave her a bright smile.

Yang Xueli was startled and quickly forced an awkward smile. Her heart was pounding. She regretted her curiosity; she had discovered the other person's incredible secret.

Thinking of the other party's ruthless decisiveness, Yang Xueli's expression changed slightly. She was now genuinely worried that it would be difficult for them to leave Changbai Mountain unscathed.

The next moment, Gao Dongxu smiled mischievously, stretched out his finger, and put it vertically to his lips, making a gesture to shut up.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yang Xueli nodded repeatedly, indicating that she would definitely keep quiet and not talk about it to outsiders.

Gao Dongxu chuckled. He didn't care that Hu Bayi and the other two knew he had storage abilities. In short, they posed no threat to him whatsoever.

However, although he didn't care, he didn't mind teasing Yang Xueli a little.

"Young Master Gao, it's finished—"

Then, after cleaning the jade tablet with a dagger and learning the story recorded on it, he began to place the tablets. As soon as one tablet was placed, the turntable began to spin, and the stone door opposite began to slowly rise. Because the snow on the giant bronze statue had been cleared beforehand, the stone door did not get stuck halfway and rose completely, revealing a winding, dark corridor.

"Let's go and see what Wang Zanghai has prepared for us—" Gao Dongxu said with a smile, letting everyone go inside first. He then quickly took away nine white jade pendants; he wouldn't let go of such fine mutton fat jade.

They quickly ran into the slowly descending stone gate and, together with the others, used flashlights to illuminate the murals on both sides of the corridor.

“It’s all centipede paintings, so disgusting—” Wang Yueban couldn’t help but complain.

"This further illustrates the problem. Perhaps there is a giant centipede nest beneath our feet. Once we trigger the mechanism, swarms of centipedes will come out and attack us."

"You know, centipedes crawling into ears is quite a feat—" Gao Dongxu jokingly scared everyone.

"Boss, please stop... Just thinking about it is terrifying." Wang Yue frowned and pleaded with a wry smile, "If only Xiao Ge were here, a quick stab with a knife, and he wouldn't be afraid of any bugs—"

Although they kept mentioning "Little Brother," Wang Yueban and Wu Xie looked at Gao Dongxu with hopeful eyes, knowing the power of the Qilin blood.

"Hehe, why are you looking at me?" Gao Dongxu teased.

"Boss, give me some for self-defense. If a centipede crawls into my ear, I'll suffer a fate worse than death," Wang Yueban pleaded with his hands clasped together.

Among the others, a few who were unaware of the truth watched the three of them talking with curiosity, wondering what precious thing Wang Yueban and Wu Xie were asking for, which seemed to be a treasure that could be used for self-defense.

Gao Dongxu took out two glass medicine bottles and tossed them to the two men with a smile. They immediately caught them excitedly and clumsily, looking at the red liquid inside. They quickly put their hands together and said, "Thank you, leader—" "Thank you, Young Master Gao—"

"If we really encounter a swarm of insects attacking later, just smear it on everyone's face," Gao Dongxu said casually.

"I understand. It has to be the leader who considers everything. Unlike Xiao Ge, every time I see him prickly, I feel sorry for him. Besides, it's such a waste..." Wang Yueban chuckled as he carefully put the small medicine bottle away from his body, complaining.

"Alright, stop joking around, hurry up—" Gao Dongxu looked at the deep tomb passage, used a powerful flashlight to illuminate it, picked up the Liquan Spear, and strode into it.

The crowd followed closely behind.

"Damn it—here we go again? Is the King of Ten Thousand Slaves trying to squeeze every last penny out of him? Not even a single burial item?"

Finally, we arrived at the main burial chamber, but the huge, empty chamber contained only three coffin-laying platforms and not a single burial object.

"It seems this is a fake tomb set up by Wang Zanghai, and there's even a lodestone interfering with the compass—" At this moment, Hu Bayi frowned again, took out the compass, and looked at the direction the compass needle was pointing. As he walked and talked, he arrived in front of a huge tomb-sealing stone and said to Gao Dongxu with a wry smile, "The lodestone is right below, and it's quite large—"

"Nothing to say, start digging—" Gao Dongxu gave the order, and everyone immediately stepped forward, removed the sealing stone, pried up the floor tiles, and began digging.

"It's a two-headed stone turtle—made of magnetite!"

After the magnet was fully revealed, Wu Xie looked at the entrenching tool being attracted to the stone turtle's back and couldn't help but smile wryly.

Gao Dongxu smiled faintly, then looked around before looking at Wu Xie and said, "Whether we can find the tomb passage that connects to the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds depends on you."

"Me?" Wu Xie stared wide-eyed, pointing at himself incredulously.

“That’s right, you and Fatty, from now on we’ll be following you two. Don’t have any other ideas, do whatever you want, fate will guide you to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.” Gao Dongxu spoke like a charlatan, saying things that made everyone’s mouths twitch, feeling a bit ridiculous.

"I want to burn it—it's all because of it that we made a wasted trip!" Fatty Wang said, pointing directly at the magnetic stone turtle.

"Okay—" Gao Dongxu laughed and took out a bottle of gasoline and smashed it directly onto the stone turtle. He then lit a kerosene lighter and threw it onto the stone turtle, where flames roared.

Everyone was stunned, mainly because Gao Dongxu was too fast.

"Why is there black smoke? It smells so good... What is that? Holy crap, centipedes, so many of them..."

Gao Dongxu smiled and took out a small bottle of his own Qilin blood, dabbed some on his cheek, and laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be Insect-Fragrance Jade, specially designed to attract insects. That old cunning Wang Zanghai is indeed ruthless—"

"Holy crap, smear this on—" Seeing the centipedes emerging from all directions and the increasingly thick black smoke, Wang Yueban and Wu Xie took out the Qilin blood and started smearing it on their faces before distributing it to the others.

As for Gao Dongxu's women and subordinates, there was no need to worry; they all took out Qilin blood and smeared it on their faces.
