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

Page 224

A strange "click" sound!

Wu Tianjiao suddenly turned around!

"who is it?"

"Who is there!"

The sudden unexpected attack really gave me a fright.

There were not many people in this imperial tomb from the Qin Dynasty to begin with. Just before, Luo Weier and the students from the academy had entered the left tomb passage.

It was also confirmed that no one approached the tomb entrance from the direction of the erosion talisman after it was used.

Moreover, the poisonous mist generated by the Corrosive Mist Talisman can corrode flesh and blood.

It's impossible for any living creature to pass through there.

So what exactly was that strange noise?

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he entered a state of high alert, his heart pounding.

He pointed the powerful flashlight at the entrance to the tomb passage behind him and slowly backed away.

"Tian... Brother Tian, what exactly did you discover?"

Wu Xie, who was sitting on the ground panting, heard the reminder and subconsciously tensed up.

His gaze swept around, the miner's lamp overhead shining in all directions, its milky white halo not extending far, but all reflecting onto the surrounding bluestone bricks.

Suddenly, Wu Xie felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his vision became slightly distorted.

In his field of vision, the ancient patterns on the surface of those bluestone bricks seemed to be wriggling, as if they possessed a life force.

"How is this possible? What's going on?!"

Wu Xie was greatly alarmed. He quickly rubbed his eyes and looked around at the surrounding bluestone walls again. However, this time, the stone bricks on the tomb passage walls were placed there quietly, without the slightest abnormality.

"Strange? What was that distorted pattern from before? Was I seeing things?"

After opening and closing his eyes several times, Wu Xie no longer saw the strange scene from before, which made him subconsciously comfort himself.

Perhaps it was because of the strenuous exercise that caused oxygen deprivation in the brain, resulting in mild hallucinations.

.........

His gaze remained fixed ahead. Since entering the tomb passage, several strange events had occurred, proving that this tomb of the Qin Empire was not a benevolent place.

"Da da da!"

The sound grew increasingly urgent, echoing through the tomb passage.

Wu Xie's expression was a little strange. He recognized the sound; it was the rhythmic frequency of shoes hitting the bluestone slabs.

A dark figure emerged at the entrance to the tomb passage. This person wore a headlamp, was covered in sweat, and was muttering to himself:

"Wu Xie~ My Wu Xie brother~ My little darling~"

"You absolutely mustn't get hurt! If you die here, I won't have anywhere to eat in Rongcheng!"

Wang Yueban's somewhat sturdy body made a dull sound as he stepped on the stone bricks of the tomb passage. If it weren't for his sharp ears, one probably wouldn't have heard the other person's subconscious mutterings.

...........

"Hey! Wu Xie! So you're here! I was so worried about you!"

"How are you? Have you been bitten on the thigh by lice?"

Fatty Wang's gaze fell on Wu Xie in the corner, and he ran over with a look of surprise on his face.

.........

"Canglang!"

At the same time, a loud bang echoed through the air.

A flash of silvery-white light appeared.

Wang Pangzi's eyes suddenly widened, his body stiffened on the spot, and he raised his hands high, looking incredulously at the three steel claws gleaming with a cold light in front of him.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and the three-bladed flying tiger claws of the Mountain Moving Taoist had grown on the back of his finger bones. However, he deliberately tucked half of his arm into his sleeve, so that the other party could only see the three extended blades.

"Tell me! Who are you?"

Chapter 192: Wu Xie's tone was cold, and the tomb was eerie.

Wu Xie's tone was somewhat cold; the tomb of the Qin Empire was indeed too eerie, and it was best to be careful.

The entrance to the tomb passage was sealed off by him with the Miasma-Eroding Talisman, making it impossible for an ordinary person to cross the miasma and reach the other side of the tomb passage.

......

"Hey bro, let's talk this out. There's no need to get all worked up."

At this point, Fatty Wang's eyes darted around, and he subconsciously understood why he had acted that way:

"Oh! Brother Qin, it's no wonder you misunderstood. Let me be frank with you."

"I was running in such a hurry that by the time I found the fork in the road, it was too late to stop. I was pushed forward for quite a distance by the people behind me. But I was worried about my brothers' safety, so I squeezed through the crowd, just in case you got separated from our main group at the fork in the road."

"When I arrived at the entrance, I saw a deep green miasma, but I didn't see a swarm of lice, so I knew you were on the other side of the passage. At that time, the green mist had not yet fully reached the entrance of the passage, so I seized the opportunity, covered my face with my coat, and rushed over."

"Look, there are still some green spots left on it!"

Wu Tianjiao's gaze swept over the jacket in Wang Pangzi's hand, and he also saw traces of green miasma. He waved his hand, not intending to listen to Pangzi's explanation any further, and turned to sit down on the other side.

I plan to take this time to recover my strength.

[Ding! Special emergency mission completed!]

[Please protect Wu Xie, the innocent one. 20 minutes remaining, 1/1]

[Mission complete; special reward generated.]

[The purchase page for the Ultimate Treasure System is now activated!]

I was subconsciously pleasantly surprised when I heard this notification sound.

"Hey! This system has quite a few tricks up its sleeve. Not only does it issue tasks and reward items, but it even has a shop interface. Speaking of which, the reward I got when I joined Jude Kao's company, 500 gold coins, might be usable now."

[Sizzle~]

[Host, please wait patiently. The system page is currently upgrading.]

The Ultimate Treasure Shop (Beginner) has finished loading!

..........

I couldn't wait to turn my attention to the interface information in my mind.

[The "Soft Corpse Incense" x1, once lit, can soften a stiff corpse in a very short time.]

(The Mountain Moving Taoist's exclusive secret recipe! Can be filled into a phosphorescent tube for use!)

[The Corpse-Fixing Pill X1 must be placed inside the mouth; it is a dark purple bead that the "zongzi" (a type of rice dumpling) holds in its mouth.]

(If you don't want to encounter any resurrected zombies, please use this in advance.)

[Rejuvenating Powder X1, an externally taken healing powder, has remarkable effects on wound recovery!]

...........

this....

Gone?

"system?"

"System, come out here!"

"I risked my life, faced death, and endured countless hardships, and all you give me are three items to choose from? Do you have any humanity left?"

He was furious. It would be nice to have items to buy, but he couldn't hold back any longer when he saw the line of text on the Treasure Trove purchase page.

[Genuine product, fixed price 500 gold coins, no returns or exchanges.]

This is absolutely an unfair contract term!

This is a truly unscrupulous shop.

It costs 500 gold coins to buy a single-use item. When did money become so worthless?

[Host! Please calm down!]

This is the basic store page; it can be upgraded later.

Don't be discouraged, completing more tasks will bring more rewards!

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

"Wow! A huge treasure trove!"

"Hey! Why are you doing this again!"

However, no matter how I tried to call it, the system in my mind went silent; it was clearly time for it to clock out.

Ugh!
