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

Wu Tianjiao pointed the laser cannon at the jade terracotta warrior and then fired it.

Two laser beams immediately blinded him.

The jade figurine staggered back several steps, its eyes blinded, and it slashed and screamed wildly as if it had gone mad.

The longsword slashed towards Zhang Qiling, who had just returned to the ground. Zhang Qiling stretched out his right hand and...

Then came a kick, which sent him flying right in front of King Mu of Zhou. King Mu of Zhou didn't hesitate to strike back, his fist sending the jade figurine's head spinning several times before finally drooping down.

"Hahahahaha."

After avenging himself, King Mu of Zhou burst into wild laughter.

"I have avenged myself! I have finally avenged myself!"

Then he walked over to Wu Tianjiao and Zhang Qiling.

He knelt on one knee, saying, "Thank you both for your kindness."

After speaking, King Mu of Zhou coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He had just recovered when he went through another major battle. It's quite an achievement that he's managed to hold on until now.

Zhang Qiling caught him and quickly helped him up, then pressed several acupoints on him.

King Mu of Zhou recovered much.

King Mu of Zhou looked at Wu Tianjiao and said, "Master."

Wu Tianjiao nodded to him, "Go inside and heal your wounds."

King Mu of Zhou then transformed into a wisp of black smoke and returned to Wu Tianjiao's spatial ring.

"Brother, don't you have anything to ask me?" Wu Tianjiao knew that there was likely some kind of connection between Zhang Qiling and King Mu of Zhou. Now that King Mu of Zhou had become his guardian spirit, Wu Tianjiao felt that he should give Zhang Qiling an explanation.

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, then walked towards Wu Sansheng and the others. At that moment, Wu Sansheng and the others all collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

It wasn't the ghost soldiers who injured them, but Zhang Qiling who used the power of the Ghost Seal to knock them unconscious. And when they wake up, they won't remember what just happened.

Zhang Qiling harbored no ill will toward Wu Sansheng and his group, but he also had his own purpose in coming to the Lu Palace.

Everyone has their own secrets, and secrets shouldn't be known to outsiders. Seeing that Zhang Qiling wasn't paying attention to him, Wu Tianjiao immediately became nervous.

Although Wu Tianjiao had a wife and brothers, Xiao Ge held a unique place in his heart. That feeling of meeting a kindred spirit, a worthy opponent, and a perfect understanding—no one else in the world could give him that feeling except Xiao Ge.

"Brother, let me explain." At this moment, Wu Tianjiao seemed like a child who had done something wrong in front of Zhang Qiling, afraid that Zhang Qiling would ignore him.

If Shirley Yang saw this, she would be utterly astonished, as she had never received such treatment before. Zhang Qiling suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“Brother Tian, ​​it seems like we’ve never sat down for a drink before.” Hearing Zhang Qiling’s words, Wu Tianjiao laughed. “Alright, after we get out, we won’t leave until we’re completely drunk.”

In his past life, Wu Tianjiao had read the Tomb Raider Chronicles so many times, and Xiao Ge always impressed him as someone who appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

I've never seen him drink with anyone.

Now he's offering to drink with him. That's enough to show how important he is to the guy. Actually, Wu Tianjiao's brain is a bit off right now.

The young man knocked out Wu Sansheng and the others, but he was the only one who remained conscious.

Everything has been proven; Wu Tianjiao is someone he can trust. He believes that he is also in Wu Tianjiao's eyes.

The group of ghostly soldiers had just appeared and then vanished just as suddenly. With Wu Tianjiao's intelligence, it was impossible for him not to guess what had happened. Yet, he didn't ask him anything; this trust was something he would cherish for a lifetime. As for King Mu of Zhou, he didn't belong to this era; following Wu Tianjiao was his best destiny.

Another thing is Wu Tianjiao's identity. Although he finds him very mysterious and it seems like he knows everything about him, Xiao Ge has never thought of investigating him.

Zhang Qiling only trusts his intuition.

Zhang Qiling walked over to Wu Xie and the others.

After waking them up, Wu Xie and the others were completely bewildered, not understanding how they had suddenly passed out. Zhang Qiling casually made up an excuse, saying that there was a kind of bewitching plant in the tomb, and brushed it off.

The shrewd and calculating Wu Sansheng naturally didn't quite believe Zhang Qiling's words, but he couldn't find any evidence. Wu Xie, on the other hand, had no doubts about Zhang Qiling's words whatsoever.

It wasn't because he was naive, but because he also trusted his intuition; Xiao Ge and Tian Ge did indeed seem very mysterious. However, they had helped them so much along the way.

They would never harm them.

Wu Xie looked at Fatty, "There's a purple jade box inside the lacquered coffin. Everything you want to know is there." Fatty was taken aback, then stood up, "A purple jade box? I didn't see it."

"Fatty, I need to go check this out."

As he spoke, the fat man ran over and then discovered the jade terracotta warrior's corpse.

"Oh dear, it looks like his head has been smashed off."

As soon as the fat man said that, everyone was drawn over to come and fill in the gaps.

Chapter 124: The Story of King Lu Shang Obtaining the Ghost Seal

Seeing the body that was perfectly fine before, now its head was almost completely disconnected.

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, what exactly happened?"

Apart from Wu Xie, who was still willing to believe Wu Tianjiao and Zhang Qiling, everyone else immediately became wary.

In their memory, they had just inexplicably fainted. And this happened after they woke up.

Apart from Wu Xie, everyone else is a seasoned and cunning old hand, and they would instinctively become suspicious when faced with such a situation.

“I killed him,” Zhang Qiling stepped forward.

Wu Tianjiao had protected him once before, so he was going to stand in front of Wu Tianjiao this time as well.

"You killed him?" Wu Xie was taken aback. "Why, Brother?"

"This thing sheds its skin once every five hundred years. Each time it sheds its skin, it becomes younger. Generally speaking, it only needs to shed its skin three times to achieve rejuvenation and longevity."

“Three thousand years have passed since the Warring States period, but this corpse is still inside. I’m afraid something might happen.”

Wu Xie nodded. "So that's how it is. No wonder we heard breathing and heartbeats outside the coffin earlier." At this moment, Fatty walked to the front of the lacquered coffin and began searching.

The purple jade box that Zhang Qiling had just mentioned piqued his interest.

Of course, he was also thinking about taking the jade figurine off the corpse.

But there's no rush, the jade figurine is already there, it can't escape.

What piqued his curiosity was the young man's words.

"Everything you want to know is in the purple jade box."

"What does this mean? This is really tantalizing."

The fat man reached into the lacquered wooden coffin and touched it.

"Hey! There really was a box. How did you know, buddy?"

Zhang Qiling remained silent.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't ask."

The fat man felt that his question was a bit unnecessary.

Even though he knew the guy wouldn't tell him anything, he still asked.

"Let's open it and see what's inside. Maybe it's the legendary Ghost Seal." In Fatty's mind, the Ghost Seal was more valuable than the jade figurine.

After saying this, the fat man opened the purple jade box, only to find that instead of the Ghost Seal, it contained a silk scroll covered with densely packed characters.

"What the hell is written here? I can't understand a single word. I thought there was some treasure in this box."

The fat man was somewhat disappointed to see such an exquisite box containing only a silk scroll.

"Fatty, let me see it."

Wu Xie, on the other hand, was very interested in the silk scroll inside the purple jade box.

The fat man wasn't particularly interested in the silk scroll to begin with, so when Wu Xie mentioned it, he handed it to Wu Xie without hesitation and then continued studying the jade figurine.

Wu Xie took the silk scroll, laid it out, and shone the light from his flashlight onto it to see the words on it.

The first line on the left reads "The Book of King Ming Shang," which is essentially King Lu Shang's own autobiography.

Wu Sansheng also came over. "Well, Wu Xie, can you understand what's written on it?"

Wu Xie looked up and said, "So-so. I can understand some parts, but not others."

Wu Sansheng nodded.

Wu Xie's words are understandable.

Ancient Chinese characters are not as simple and easy to understand as modern simplified Chinese characters. It is already quite remarkable for modern people to be able to understand even half of the ancient characters.

Moreover, these are characters from the Warring States period. There were many different characters during the Warring States period, and each state had its own unique script. Unless you are a specialist in these scripts, it is impossible to understand them all.

However, understanding the general meaning is sufficient.

After all, they're not here for archaeological research; they don't want to achieve 100% historical accuracy.

"Then tell us what you can understand."

Wu Xie remained silent for a long time afterward.

It was as if he was completely immersed in the book.

At first, Wu Sansheng didn't pay much attention.

But as time went on, he noticed something was amiss.
