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

It symbolizes their identity.

After giving a hand signal to Hu Bayi and the other members of the Iron Triangle, Wu Yutian quickly led Ah Xiang into the ancient city ruins eroded by wind.

This is a huge temple.

The surrounding area was wind-eroded rock, and inside this enormous temple were hundreds of bearded old fish.

Chapter 151: A Particularly Childish Voice

The fat man rubbed his sore bottom and got up from the ground.

He turned off his diving light and took out a regular flashlight.

They began to observe the condition of the side chamber.

The ceiling of the side chamber was painted with a map of fifty stars, and a stone door next to it connected to the passageway. The walls were completely sealed with white clay, on which some colorful paintings could be seen. Around the side chamber were some burial objects, all of them porcelain bottles and jars. There was no coffin bed or coffin, so it was undoubtedly one of the side chambers.

At this moment, A Ning also got up from the ground and walked to Wu Tianjiao's side.

"Teacher Ye, thank you, thank you for saving our lives."

Wu Tianjiao hadn't even had a chance to speak.

The fat man hurriedly distanced himself, "Hey, don't talk nonsense! You are you and I am me, we are not us." The fat man paused, scratched his head, and thought, "Why does this sound so awkward to me?"

"Never mind, Brother Ye, I'll never thank you enough. I'll always remember your life-saving grace." If Wu Tianjiao hadn't pulled them back, they might have been swept away by that whirlpool. At this moment, Fatty suddenly realized something.

"Wait a minute, Brother Ye, aren't we missing two people? Where are Wu Xie and Zhang the Bald?"

The fat man waved his flashlight around the side room, but couldn't find Wu Xie or Xiao Ge.

"No need to look anymore. Consultant Zhang must have gone to rescue Wu Xie. They'll be back." Wu Tianjiao had complete confidence in Xiao Ge's skills.

“Yeah.” The fat man suddenly remembered something.

"When we encountered those hairs, Wu Xie seemed to be possessed. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to go back. I, Fatty, was chasing after him when I felt like I was kicked hard by something." As he spoke, Fatty couldn't help but touch his chest, which still felt a little sore.

Startled, Wu Tianjiao asked, "Brother Ye, was there a ghost in that tomb raider's hole just now?" He ignored him. The matter of the Forbidden Woman was still unexplainable. And why that Forbidden Woman was so fixated on Wu Xie was even more inexplicable.

Wu Tianjiao then turned on his flashlight to examine the burial objects stored in the side chamber. They were mostly porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, which strongly suggested that this was indeed the tomb Wang Zanghai had built for himself.

"Strange, why are there so many footprints here?" Just as Fatty Wu Tianjiao was examining the burial objects in the side chamber, A Ning noticed many clear footprints on the floor. This was a tomb, and a tomb from several hundred years ago at that; how could there possibly be footprints here?

Wu Tianjiao and Fatty were intrigued by A Ning's words. However, Fatty was somewhat dismissive.

"It's just a footprint, what's the big deal? Third Master was here before, and he's the one who dug that tomb-raiding tunnel, so this footprint must have been left by him too."

The fat man's words were immediately refuted by A Ning. No, the length of these footprints was not what an adult should have; they looked more like those of a seven or eight-year-old child. "A child's? Could it be a funeral child? But how could the footprints of a funeral child be on this floor?" The fat man then squatted down as well.

"Hey, what's this white stuff?" The floor in the tomb was made of bluestone.

And there are also raised areas.

It was as if something had gotten on the feet of the person who left the footprint.

Logically speaking, even if footprints are imprinted on this type of floor, they shouldn't be too noticeable.

But the rows of small footprints in front of us are not just obvious.

And there are also raised areas.

It was as if something had gotten on the feet of the person who left the footprint.

The fat man stuck the white stuff on the ground to his hand with his finger, but he still didn't know what it was. Being very curious, he stuck out his tongue and licked it, which made him vomit.

Adipocere, this stuff is actually adipocere, it disgusts me.

The fat man said while vomiting.

A Ning looked at Wu Tianjiao and said, "Teacher Ye, I don't think this matter is that simple. There might be something unclean in this tomb." Wu Tianjiao nodded, agreeing with A Ning's point of view.

Just then, a loud "crash" was heard, and a fairly large porcelain vase fell to the ground.

And it broke.

The fat man was startled and jumped up.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Ah Ning looked at the fat man.

The fat man felt a little uneasy under her gaze. "Foreign girl, why are you looking at me like that? It wasn't me, Fatty. Brother Ye knows me best. I'd be too busy protecting any funerary object to break it."

Wu Tianjiao stood up from the ground and walked to the fat man's side.

The flashlight was shone on the funerary objects.

A small coffin was placed in the middle of the funerary objects.

The reason they hadn't noticed it before was because it was blocked by the large porcelain vase, and the tomb was completely dark, so they didn't see it.

Oh dear, why is there a small coffin here? And the lid is open.

The fat man shone his flashlight over the coffin, only to find that there was no body inside.

Judging from the size of this coffin, it should be the one where the child buried with the deceased was placed. But how could the coffin be empty now? Small footprints were heard on the tomb floor.

At the same time, I've come to understand some things.

The child spirit buried with the coffin has most likely turned into a rice dumpling. A stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

He was just a child; even if he turned into a rice dumpling, he shouldn't be that powerful. Otherwise, they might have faced a new round of danger. "Who are you? How did you get in?" Just then, a particularly childish voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

The sound of that childish voice was truly chilling. They suspected the burial child in the coffin had likely turned into a zombie. But this was the first time they'd ever seen a zombie talk. After all, zombies rising from the dead was only a result of corpse transformation.

He didn't have a soul at all; his soul had already gone to Yama, the King of Hell, to be reincarnated.

How could a soulless zongzi (rice dumpling) possibly speak? Wu Tianjiao, Fatty, and A Ning slowly turned their heads. What appeared before them was a little boy of about four or five years old. He had fair skin, wore a red bib, and was chubby all over, looking extremely cute. He wasn't a zongzi at all; he was clearly a person.

Chapter 152: The Deadly Little Boy

"This is fucking weird. How could there be a living child in this tomb?" The fat man was about to go over and ask him how he got here when Wu Tianjiao stopped him.

Although the original novel did not specifically describe this burial attendant, Wu Tianjiao knew that he was definitely no ordinary person.

At the same time, Zhang Qiling also arrived at a tomb chamber.

What's really strange is that the tomb chamber Zhang Qiling arrived in was exactly the same as the one Wu Tianjiao and the others were in. The furnishings and environment were identical, which was one thing.

Even more bizarrely, the exact same thing happened.

Those who didn't know better might have thought they were in the same tomb.

But they couldn't see each other at all, nor could they even sense each other's presence. Zhang Qiling glanced at the small coffin behind the bottle; no one was lying inside. He didn't pay it any further attention.

He turned around and began searching for Wu Xie.

Wu Xie originally came in with him.

But after they came in, the two got separated.

So Zhang Qiling doesn't know where Wu Xie is now.

"Wu Xie, Wu Xie?"

Zhang Qiling called out Wu Xie's name as he walked towards the outside of the side door.

Just as they were about to leave, a particularly childish voice rang out behind them. However, the situation was somewhat different from what Wu Tianjiao and the others had encountered.

Wu Tianjiao and his group encountered a boy, while Zhang Qiling encountered a girl. "Uncle, who are you? Why are you at my house?"

Zhang Qiling turned around, and behind him appeared a chubby little girl. She had two little braids, big, round eyes, and long, curled eyelashes, making her extremely cute. Especially her sweet, childlike voice.

They're so cute!

Seeing this little girl reminded Zhang Qiling of Wu Tianjiao's daughter, triggering a soft spot in his heart.

Zhang Qiling walked over.

Slowly reaching out his hand, Zhang Qiling touched her face.

In another side room, Wu Tianjiao's heart skipped a beat. He and his brother shared a telepathic connection, sensing the danger his brother was facing. Wu Tianjiao looked at the little boy not far from him.

The little boy had a particularly innocent smile on his face. That smile seemed to possess a kind of magic, making people unable to resist wanting to get closer to him and hug him.

"Little baby, you're so cute! Come here and let your big brother give you a hug." The fat man walked over, but his eyes looked strange.

The same applies to Aning.

In her eyes, it was as if there was no one else in the world but this little boy, and she was probably the little boy's mother. At this moment, all she wanted to do was to love him dearly. She didn't want to do anything else.

Just as Fatty and Aning were about to walk over and hug the little boy, Wu Tianjiao suddenly knocked them unconscious.

After seeing Fatty and Ah Ning both faint, the innocent and carefree expression on the little boy's face vanished instantly.

He became somewhat angry.

Wu Tianjiao smiled and said, "Little brother, don't be angry. If they won't hug you, I'm here for you. How about I hug you?"

The little boy glared at Wu Tianjiao with fury, then let out a loud scream. When he opened his mouth, it was filled with terrifying fangs, startling Wu Tianjiao.

It was a stark contrast to her previous image.

What was just adorable is now terrifying. Wu Tianjiao wasn't exactly scared, but he was still a little uneasy. How could he face those cute little kids after seeing such a hideous and horrifying face out of nowhere?

They would definitely think of him as soon as they saw them. However, what Wu Tianjiao did not expect was that the little boy revealing his terrifying face was only the first step.

What happened next was truly astonishing. The little boy, who had been very small, suddenly grew larger and larger, becoming like a monster. Finally, he transformed completely into a red-haired rice dumpling.
