Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

A few minutes later, Wu Xie finally woke up.

After waking up, he told Wu Sansheng and the others what had just happened.

Even now, Wu Xie still feels lingering fear.

The breathing is still somewhat uneven.

"...Terrible, absolutely terrifying! Thank goodness it was just a dream." But it wasn't a dream.

Zhang Qiling suddenly said, "Wo."

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment.

"If that's not a dream, then what is it?" A sense of fear involuntarily arose in my heart once again.

"That thing is called a puppet, and it is the soul of the white-clothed female zombie. Tao wanted to use your yang energy to leave the corpse cave, which is why Brother Tian didn't let you turn back just now."

Zhang Qiling said, his voice carrying a hint of anger, as if he were standing up for Wu Tianjiao.

Wu Xie immediately felt guilty and looked at Wu Tianjiao, "Brother Tian, ​​I'm sorry. It was all because of my curiosity that I almost dragged everyone into this."

Seeing Wu Xie's guilty expression, Wu Tianjiao couldn't bear to blame him.

Half an hour later, everyone finally reached the shore.

They found a family in the village, gave them some money, and planned to stay there for the night before heading to the tomb of King Lu the next day.

Chapter 184: Reuniting with Chen Chengcheng

The person who stayed at the guesthouse was a fellow villager of Wu Tianjiao and his friends, surnamed Niu. He was honest and kind, unlike that Uncle Li.

He knocked on Wu Tianjiao's door.

"Gentlemen, you've come here to find the ancient tomb in the back mountain, haven't you?"

“I advise you not to go. You don’t seem like bad people. Take my advice and go back as soon as possible. I’m afraid you won’t come back.”

After hearing what the old ox said, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Since they had already figured it out, they decided not to hide it anymore.

"Brother, since you've already figured it out, we'll just tell you the truth."

“That’s right, we did come here for the tomb in the back mountain.”

"But please don't misunderstand. We're not looking for that tomb to steal artifacts, but to protect them."

"According to reliable information we have received, the ancient tomb on the hill behind your village has been targeted by a group of international tomb raiders. So what we need to do is find it as soon as possible before those tomb raiders steal the artifacts from the tomb, so that we can protect it."

"So, fellow villager, could you please tell us what you meant by what you just said? Why did you say that once we go there, we won't come back? Do you know something inside, or have you been there yourself?"

Old Niu's expression changed upon hearing this. "Of course I've never been there. How could an ordinary person like me have ever been to such a terrifying place?"

"Actually, people have come to our village from time to time for thousands of years, all for the purpose of visiting the ancient tomb on the back mountain."

"But no matter how many people come, no one leaves alive in the end, which is why I advise you not to go. You are all so young, if you go you won't come back, why bother?"

The fellow villager's words came from the bottom of his heart, which gave Wu Sansheng and his companions an ominous feeling.

However, the group wasn't the type to be timid or afraid of trouble. Having come all this way, how could they possibly turn back halfway and return the way they came just because of a few words from a fellow villager?

"Thank you for your kind advice, but we still need to think about it."

As he spoke, Wu Sansheng took out some money. "Fellow villager, we've been traveling for a long time and our stomachs are growling. So please prepare some food for us."

The fellow villager quickly declined, saying, "No, no, no, this is too much money, I can't accept it."

Not much, not at all, considering how many of us there are.

"Brother Tian, ​​Third Uncle, please say something! Are we really going to go and search for that Lu King's Tomb that might prevent us from ever returning?" Hai Shao asked cautiously during the meal.

He was genuinely scared.

He had previously thought that ancient tombs were a particularly magical and fun place, but after encountering dangers along the way, he no longer had that naive idea.

Before Wu Tianjiao and Wu Sansheng could speak, Wu Xie suddenly said.

"Go! Of course we'll go! Don't forget why we're here."

"Hey kid, if you don't want to go, you can stay. None of us will laugh at you."

"I......"

Just as he was about to speak, he was suddenly pushed.

He was pushed off the stool.

Then he saw a pretty girl sit in his seat, pick up her chopsticks, and start eating heartily from the plate.

He looked completely satisfied, saying, "It smells so good, it really smells amazing."

Wu Tianjiao and Zhang Qiling's gazes fell on her at the same time; the girl's face was somewhat unfamiliar to them.

Wu Xie stood up, looking surprised. "Chen Chengcheng, is that you?"

"Of course it's me, who else could it be but me?"

Chen Chengcheng ate a couple of bites of food, then wiped his mouth with a tissue and looked at Wu Sansheng.

“Uncle, I have already inquired for you, and there is indeed an ancient tomb nearby.”

"Legend has it that a deity was buried inside. The size of the ancient tomb was no smaller than that of an emperor, but a landslide buried the tomb, so it may be difficult for us to find it."

Wu Sansheng frowned upon hearing Chen Chengcheng's words.

"If it's not Chen Chengcheng, how do you know all this? And how did you get here?"

Wu Xie is still somewhat taken aback.

Wu Xie knew best how many dangers they had encountered along the way. If it weren't for Wu Tianjiao and Zhang Qiling, they would have been dead long ago. Wu Xie didn't believe that Chen Chengcheng, a girl who was powerless, could pass through the corpse cave they had encountered earlier by herself.

"You came with those tomb raiders. They arrived a long time ago. I knew you would come, so I waited for you here."

Chen Chengcheng said.

"What? A-Ning and the others arrived a long time ago?" Wu Xie was shocked and looked at Wu Tianjiao and Wu Sansheng, as if asking them if they should hurry up.

"No, it's already dark, and we don't know anyone here. We should wait until it's light before we take any action," Wu Sansheng said.

Wu Xie then looked at Wu Tianjiao.

“I agree with Third Master’s opinion,” Wu Tianjiao said calmly.

As he spoke, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food. At this moment, Chen Chengcheng ran over and looked at Wu Tianjiao with excitement.

He reached out and shook hands with Wu Tianjiao. "You must be Brother Tian. Wu Xie has already told me about your heroic deeds. I've truly heard so much about you."

Then he looked at Zhang Qiling and said, "Brother, right? I've heard about your heroic deeds. I've heard so much about you."

I reached out my hand, about to shake hands with the delivery guy, but he put down his chopsticks, turned indifferently, and went inside without even turning his head.

Isn't this embarrassing for Chen Chengcheng?

After finishing their meal, Wu Xie explained to Wu Tianjiao, "Brother Tian, ​​I'm sorry, my friend isn't very bright and is a bit neurotic. Please don't take it to heart, Xiao Ge."

"Is your mind not quite right?"

Wu Tianjiao smiled and patted Wu Xie on the shoulder. "Tianzhen, don't be too naive in the future. Don't trust others too easily. In short, you should be more careful around others."

After saying that, Wu Tianjiao didn't continue speaking and went inside.

Wu Xie scratched his head. What did Brother Tian mean by that?

"Is he reminding me that there's something wrong with Chen Chengcheng?"

"But how could that be? We've known each other for a long time."

Wu Xie shook his head, indicating that he did not understand.

Chapter 185: The Mechanism in the Divine Beast's Mouth

The next day.

The group bid farewell to their fellow villager and, lightly equipped, continued their journey towards the back of the mountain. The villager sighed helplessly, "What a pity, what a real pity."

Another day passed.

An hour later, the group bypassed the dense forest and arrived at the back of the mountain.

Wu Tianjiao stretched out his hand, "No need to look anymore, this should be it."

Yesterday, Chen Chengcheng said that a landslide had buried the ancient tomb, so even if they searched the entire area, they wouldn't be able to find Prince Lu.

The correct entrance to the tomb can only be found in a suitable spot where you can dig down.

Wu Sansheng quickly took out a map.

He looked up and glanced in the direction he was looking. "We're probably right below a funerary altar where people are buried."

Panzi took off his backpack, took out a shovel, and began probing the hole. When he pulled out the shovel, there was blood in the soil.

Wu Sansheng frowned. It was actually a Blood Corpse Tomb.

"Blood Corpse Tomb? Uncle, what is a Blood Corpse Tomb?" Wu Xie asked.

"The soil is covered with blood, and the corpse is covered with gold. There must be rare treasures in such a blood-covered tomb. However, it is also extremely dangerous. Everyone must be prepared."

Wu Xie walked up to Hai Shao. "Hai Shao, you don't need to go down. You and Chen Chengcheng wait for us up here. You just want to know what the ancient tomb looks like. I'll tell you when we get back."
