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

Wu Xie hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

The young man looked at Wu Tianjiao, knowing that Wu Tianjiao had understood something. However, he couldn't understand how Wu Tianjiao had figured it out. After all, he hadn't participated in the underwater tomb discovery twenty years ago.

Moreover, he was certain that Wu Tianjiao and the Nine Gates had no contact whatsoever twenty years ago. He seemed to know everything.

Fortunately, he was Wu Tianjiao; otherwise, he would have been truly terrifying. "Alright, we've already wasted too much time here. Let's go check other places. We need to find Third Master, and we also need to find out why Aning shook us off."

"If he really came for the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, we must not let her succeed."

Yes, we absolutely cannot let that little wench succeed.

The fat man echoed.

At this moment, Wu Xie frowned involuntarily once again.

He wondered if his third uncle and the others really hadn't found the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish twenty years ago? According to the young man and his third uncle, they indeed hadn't found it.

My third uncle said he was drugged and when he woke up, he was in an unfamiliar place and saw a coffin. Inside the coffin lay a corpse, and that corpse was very, very powerful.

Before Uncle San could even open the coffin, he was almost dragged inside. After that, Uncle San desperately tried to escape, desperately tried to escape.

They escaped to one of the springs and were swept away.

Third Uncle completely ignored the idea of ​​going to find the Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish.

As for the young man, he fared even worse.

He woke up in the hospital, not knowing how he got out of the tomb or onto the shore. Wu Tianjiao walked ahead, and Wu Xie caught up with him.

"Brother Tian, ​​what should I do now? Who should I trust?"

Deep down, Wu Xie wanted to believe both his Third Uncle and Little Brother. But he was still confused.

Follow your heart; trust whoever treats you well.

Wu Tianjiao said.

Wu Xie was stunned for a moment.

He seemed to have made a decision: he would follow his heart.

In fact, Wu Xie himself didn't realize that he had always been following his heart. He always trusted others with a tolerant heart.

This is perhaps the true meaning of the word "naiveté".

Naïve is not foolish, but kind.

In this world where everyone in the Tomb Raider Chronicles is not innocent, only Wu Xie always maintains a pure heart.

However, no one can remain innocent forever; people always have to learn to grow up.

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm actually worried about another issue: there's no set rule for how the tomb chamber rises and falls. What if we can't find the spring when we go out at night?"

After hearing Wu Tianjiao's words, Wu Xie felt relieved.

However, his new worries then arose.

Wu Tianjiao nodded. "Wu Xie, your worries are valid. We really might encounter the situation you described. If that happens, we'll only have one option left."

"any solution?"

They'll break through the top of the tomb. Anyway, you'll definitely get out, don't worry.

After speaking for 767 minutes, Wu Tianjiao and his group arrived at another side chamber. This side chamber was larger than any of the one they had visited before. And finally, they saw a normal-looking coffin.

It's no longer the cramped baby coffin of the past.

"Brother Tian, ​​Little Brother, Fatty, this is the coffin I lay in before." Wu Xie pointed to the coffin in the side chamber, his expression excited.

It felt like he was proving he wasn't lying. Wu Tianjiao looked with his flashlight.

"It's probably the same coffin your third uncle encountered."

If Wu Tianjiao remembers correctly, there is only this one coffin in the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands. Of course, the infant coffin is an exception.

"This coffin must be made of Phoebe zhennan wood. It's so luxurious, really too luxurious. The material is comparable to the thirty-two giant pillars in the Ming Changling Mausoleum."

"Even gold would probably be worth that much. With such fine wood used for the coffin, this must be the main burial chamber."

"The main burial chamber? Not necessarily," Wu Tianjiao said.

Wu Xie glanced around. "The feng shui of this tomb is too strange. The traps and mechanisms seem more like a prank. I wonder what the tomb owner was trying to do?"

Wu Xie still doesn't know how he fell asleep there. He shone his flashlight on the golden nanmu coffin and his face turned deathly pale with fright.

Chapter 158: Cat? The corpse wasn't decomposed?

“Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, I’m pretty sure I didn’t close the coffin lid when I came out of it. Look at this coffin again, the lid is tightly closed, there’s no sign of it being opened.”

Wu Tianjiao nodded. Indeed, if Wu Xie were lying in a coffin like that, he would probably have suffocated long ago. So the question is, what's the situation now?

"The bold get rich, the timid die of fright. If you want to know what's going on, just open it and take a look."

"That's what the fat man suggested."

"Such a fine coffin must contain many good treasures. It would be such a waste to give it up like this."

Wu Tianjiao nodded, "Fatty is right. To find out the reason, we have to open it and take a look."

Looking at Wu Xie, he asked, "This coffin looks sealed shut. Did Wu Xie bring any tools?"

Before Wu Xie could speak, Fatty suddenly said something.

"Don't worry, Brother Tian, ​​I brought it."

However, before opening the coffin, we must do something, such as lighting a candle and asking the ancestral spirits if they agree to us opening the coffin.

Before long, the fat man took out the candle.

Although he really wanted to open the coffin, he also knew that this golden nanmu coffin was too eerie. To be on the safe side, it would be better to ask the ancestral master.

"Fatty, there's no need for that. The air in this tomb is already scarce. If you light candles, won't that..."

Before Wu Xie could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Fatty.

"Don't worry, it won't waste much of your air, it's just a candle."

"As the saying goes, 'Those who do not heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences.' We cannot disregard the rules left by our ancestors."

As they were talking, the fat man found the southeast corner of the tomb.

He placed the candle on the ground, took out a lighter, lit it, and put the candle on fire.

The flickering candlelight instantly brought a sense of hope for life.

Although this tiny candlelight seemed insignificant in the large, dark tomb, it brought a sense of security.

As long as the candle can be lit, that's good.

The fat man smiled when he saw the candlelight rising.

"The patriarch said there's no danger inside the coffin, it can be opened."

The fat man said smugly, and as he spoke, he inadvertently turned his head and his gaze fell on the ground beside him.

"Oh, I'm going."

The fat man, startled by something he saw, sprang up and nearly crashed into the wall.

"Fatty, what's wrong?" Wu Xie rushed over.

But he had barely taken two steps when his body froze.

At that moment, the candlelight, which had been burning brightly, suddenly began to flicker incessantly, as if a cold wind had blown into the tomb.

The candle was about to be extinguished.

"This is really too strange. You know, they've never even touched that coffin before, and now this is happening."

"Brother Tian, ​​Brother Xiao, I feel like I stepped on something?" Wu Xie was terrified.

The things you step on in this tomb chamber are obviously unclean, even without thinking.

Of course, what truly terrified Wu Xie was the constantly flickering candle.

In such an environment, the candle flickered and swayed.

Even though Wu Xie didn't have much experience in tomb raiding, he could sense that something was wrong and trouble was brewing. Wu Tianjiao walked over.

The flashlight beam shone down on Wu Xie's feet.

He frowned slightly.

Seeing that even Wu Tianjiao was frowning, Wu Xie became even more frightened.

"Brother Tian, ​​what's wrong? What exactly did I step on?"

"It's a cat, it's dead, and it looks like it's been dead for hundreds of years, but for some reason its body hasn't decomposed."

"The cat's body isn't decomposed?"

Wu Xie was completely dumbfounded after hearing Wu Tianjiao's words.

How could there possibly be a cat in the tomb?

And how could its body not have decomposed?

The human corpse did not decompose because it underwent special treatment.
