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

"Let's not stand on the side of the road anymore, let's hurry up and get inside."

Kong Zhengye didn't linger and led Wu Tianjiao and the others deeper into the dirt road.

Aning, on the other hand, cautiously took out her phone, turned on the location signal, and took pictures of the surrounding area, transmitting the data to the frontline support team led by Qiu Dekao, who had already arrived in Rongcheng.

.........

Wu Tianjiao looked at Wu Xie beside him and noticed that the guy had been silent ever since they arrived in Rongcheng, as if he had something on his mind.

Wu Tianjiao ignored him and instead focused his attention on a young man next to Kong Zhengye.

The other person walked very briskly, and every move he made exuded a fierce and menacing aura.

This guy is no ordinary person; there's a faint gray-white silk wrapped around his hand and finger bones near the cuffs of his sleeves.

..........

Kong Zhengye walked ahead and, without hesitation, began to explain to the crowd:

"Fatty Wang, after I escaped from that underground passage last time, I went back and consulted a lot of information and compared photos, and finally figured out what it was."

"During the Qin Dynasty, the practice of 'what the superiors do, the inferiors follow' was common, and tombs were mostly inverted bucket style. Inverted bucket refers to the shape of the burial mound, which is like an overturned rice measuring bucket placed on top, with sharp edges and lines on all four sides, and a small square platform at the very top."

"To put it simply, this tomb is a product of that era."

At this point, Kong Zhengye glanced somewhat awkwardly at Wu Tianjiao and the others:

"Well, ever since the accident, the local inspectorate has been paying special attention to this place. They've cordoned off the area, so getting in won't be easy."

"This time, I had to pull some strings and come with a group of investigators from the local university to get the chance to get in again."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: this operation is to find the remaining piece of mutton fat jade. We'll all score it together, and I'll take 30% of the profits!"

Wang Pangzi was about to reprimand him, but Wu Xie grabbed his wrist, shook his head, and in the end, he didn't say anything in protest.

Let's just take that as an acceptance of this price.

About ten minutes later, Wu Tianjiao found himself stepping on a bluestone brick.

[Ding! Random task generated!]

[Leading the team to the inverted-pyramid-shaped tomb of the Qin Dynasty 0/1]

[Ding! You have arrived at the inverted bucket-shaped tomb of the Qin Empire, 1/1]

[Quest Completed: Reward: Corrosive Miasma Talisman x1]

"this....."

"Have we arrived?"

"System, are you kidding me?!"

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Wu Tianjiao subconsciously glanced ahead.

Kong Zhengye was leading the way ahead. They were surrounded by a dense forest, clearly indicating that they had reached the depths of Forest 793.

However, apart from the soil, there were no landmark structures like tomb passages or pits around.

There were no eye-catching signs either.

Just then, Kong Kongzhengye slowed down, waved his hand, and led the group toward the woods on the other side.

At this moment, Wu Xie reached out and quietly tugged at Wang Yueban's sleeve:

"well!"

"Fatty Wang, is this operation reliable or not?"

"I have this feeling that Kong Zhengye gives off a somewhat abnormal vibe..."

Fatty Wang slowed his pace and lowered his voice:

"Hey!"

"My little naiveté, you're overthinking it."

"I'm quite adept at finding people, and besides, this Brother Kong and I had a life-or-death bond in the tomb of the Qin Empire. If it weren't for the two of us supporting each other, you probably wouldn't be seeing me today!"

Listening to Wang Yueban's confident explanation, Wu Xie suppressed the unease that had suddenly risen in his heart. He was still willing to believe what Fatty said.

Since you said it's okay!

That's fine!

..............

A red and white warning line appeared in front of them.

Not far inside the cordon, a group of young people were standing. They were dressed in ordinary tourist clothes, wearing hiking boots, and carrying backpacks on their backs.

It looks like a leisurely sightseeing trip!

Upon seeing this, Wu Tianjiao stopped and silently counted in his mind that there were about five people on the other side.

Three men and two women.

They look like university students who haven't graduated yet!

.........

Kong Zhengye gestured for the people behind him to wait a moment, then reached out and pulled aside the police tape before walking in.

I quietly chatted with a tall, strong boy inside.

She secretly took a red envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into the tall man's arms.

...

"Oh ho~"

"It was a bribe..."

Wu Tianjiao subconsciously wondered if he should sneak up and see if the banknotes in this world were exactly the same as the ones from the old man's banknotes on Blue Star in his memory.

.....

Kong Zhengye waved to Wu Tianjiao and the others, signaling them to come over.

Wait until everyone gets close!

The tall, imposing young man at the head of the group spoke up, somewhat reluctantly:

"Uncle Kong, I really pulled a lot of strings to get you here this time."

"For this reason, I even gave you all the bodyguard slots that were originally for you."

"You're something else..."

"Look at all these people!"

"The two men looked so frail, and there was even a fat man and a monk?"

"Uncle Kong, you've really gone too far."

"Although I pulled some strings for you, the safety and well-being of everyone on this side are all in your hands."

"If you do this, not only will it be inappropriate for me, but it will also be unacceptable when our advisor arrives!"

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Hurry up and get some proper bodyguards!"

"I want the muscular type!"

.........

........

"Hey! Why are you looking down on people, huh!"

"Don't let my fat fool you, Fatty, I'm all muscle and muscle under my skin, I can take on anyone..."

When Fatty Wang heard the tall man's mockery, he instinctively tried to retaliate, but Wu Xie reached out from behind and covered his mouth.

"Now is not the time to act impulsively. Kong Zhengye will help resolve this."

Wu Xie whispered something in Wang Yueban's ear, which finally made her quiet down.

..........

As expected, Kong Zhengye walked up to the tall, young man with a smile:

"Nephew Jiaxu, you've misunderstood your Uncle Kong!"

"Honestly, those muscular tough guys only look strong; they're really just all show and no substance!"

"Besides, Uncle Kong, how could I joke about your lives?"

"I have a master brother here; he can take on dozens of people by himself!"

"Duan Tao, stop holding back and show them what you've got!"

Kong Zhengye shouted towards the crowd where Wu Tianjiao was.

The next instant, the young man in the black suit leaped up and covered several meters to arrive at the front of the crowd.
