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

Wang Pangzi gasped and recoiled as if he'd been electrocuted.

"My goodness... what on earth happened?!"

"Nana's fat grandpa definitely didn't check the almanac before going out today!"

Wang Yueban felt the lingering warmth on her fingers, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

"Bah bah bah!"

Fatty Wang spat a few times at his fingertips and then rubbed them on his body.

Wu Xie stood to the side. After hesitating for a moment, he took out his phone, took a picture of the corpse, and said:

"Regardless, a murder has occurred here, so it needs to be recorded promptly. When we leave, we should report it to the local supervisory department so they can handle it. That way, we'll at least have some answers for 800..."

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

"You're such a busybody!"

Fatty Wang glared at Wu Xie, turned aside to avoid the man in black at the corner of the tomb passage, and continued walking deeper into the tomb passage with his flashlight in hand.

A hint of hesitation flashed across Wu Xie's face, but he still strode after Fatty Wang.

Before leaving, Wu Tianjiao gazed at the corpse on the ground for a moment, then turned and walked deeper into the tomb passage.

Just as everyone turned around, the black-clad corpse on the ground trembled inexplicably twice, and a dark shadow suddenly emerged from his lower abdomen and disappeared into the darkness.

......

"what!"

Wu Tianjiao was startled and instinctively shone his flashlight back. He saw that around the body of the man in black who had been lying on the ground, there were now traces of bright red blood seeping out.

Blood flowed on the eerie totem patterns on the bluestone bricks, appearing exceptionally ferocious.

.......

"Brother Tian, ​​I'm begging you, please stop being so dramatic. My heart is about to jump out of my chest."

"Do you even know that tomb raiders are still human?!"

Fatty Wang uttered a few complaints.

Wu Tianjiao shook his head.

"No! It's nothing, I was just overthinking it. Let's keep going!"

It seems that both Wu Xie and Fatty Wang have been mentally disturbed to varying degrees. If he were to reveal his previous discovery at this point, it would only make the situation worse.

Following behind the two, Wu Tianjiao subconsciously guessed...

What exactly crawled out from under the corpse of the man in black...?

..........

[Ding! Special mission completed!]

[Detailed Unveiling of the Secrets of the Corpse Inside the Bucket-Shaped Tomb Passage - Part 1]

[Reward for completing the task: 200 gold coins]

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

The group walked slowly along the tomb passage paved with bluestone bricks, their flashlights shimmering as they tried to find something hidden in the darkness that didn't exist!

Looking at the task reward generated in his mind, Wu Tianjiao saw that the system had given him 200 gold coins as a reward this time. Including the previous ones, he had a total of 700 gold coins. Although he couldn't buy items from the store multiple times, having more money was never a bad thing.

The surrounding tomb passages do not extend in a straight line, but rather in an arc shape.

Wu Tianjiao vaguely remembered that he had entered the tomb passage on the right before, but now that he had walked so far, the road was starting to slope to the left.

Could it be that the tomb passage of the Qin Dynasty was built in the shape of a snake?

"Wang Yueban, you said you've been here before. How much further is this S-shaped passage?"

Wu Tianjiao subconsciously asked, hoping to get more useful information from the other party.

......

"Wang Yueban, what are you daydreaming about!"

Wu Tianjiao was taken aback, because Wang Pangzi, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. His flashlight beam shone on a protruding stone sculpture not far away.

Wu Xie then spoke in surprise:

"How could this be? How could there be a Shoushan stone carving of a 'Phoenix Seeking Mating' here, which is located at the entrance of the tomb passage!"

"Could it be that we didn't actually extend all the way into the depths of the tomb passage, but instead walked in an arc and ended up back where we started?"

......

Fatty Wang instinctively responded:

"It's very likely that we've encountered something mysterious, like being trapped in a maze."

"But little innocent, don't worry. Let my virginity and its fluids break through these demons and monsters."

Fatty Wang started to unbuckle his belt.

.......

However, Wu Tianjiao reached out and shoved him.

"Come on, look closely. The 'Courtship Phoenix' stone carving we saw at the entrance of the tomb passage was clearly smaller than this! Don't make a fuss about it."

"What era are we living in now? How could you possibly be stuck in a rut like that?"

.......

"Hey! I have to say, this Shoushan stone statue is noticeably taller."

Wang Pangzi, now much bolder, decided to show me the difference between you and the statue at the entrance.

At this point, the group walked to the back of the statue, where the light shone on it, revealing a large area of ​​blood-red seal script!

This time, however, there was an extra line.

[A renowned general of the Qin Empire. A victorious general, he won every battle, capturing Haizhou, conquering Jiqing, defeating Chen Liang, attacking Zhangye, and leading a northern expedition to capture Han Dadu. He boasted that he could conquer the world with an army of 100,000.]

[He was known in the army as "Chang the Ten Thousand." He had a long-standing eccentric habit of killing surrendered generals, and was later punished as a military offense—the most severe form of execution!]

【capital punishment!!】

.........

[He was known in the army as "Chang the Ten Thousand." He had a peculiar habit since ancient times: he liked to kill surrendered generals. He was later punished with the most severe military penalty.]

Chapter 195: Entering the Records Through Blood-Red Seal Script

Wu Xie stared into deep thought as he looked at the blood-red seal script on the back of the Shoushan stone carving.

Wang Yueban, who was standing to the side, suddenly slapped his forehead:

"Hey! You know what, the blood-red seal script records the deeds of a famous general from the Qin Empire."

"Look at this display! It records that this man commanded 100,000 troops during his lifetime, known as the 'Chang 100,000.' Look how imposing and powerful he is!"

"It's a pity that he's not good at dealing with people. I've said it before, in war, every soldier is innocent. Those who surrender or are prisoners of war should be enslaved, not killed to vent our anger."

"This General Chang Shiwan was clearly too violent, and in the end he was betrayed by the villains around him and executed."

Fatty Wang presented his views in a pretentious manner, as if he were observing the situation from the sidelines and pointing fingers at others.

"hiss....."

Wu Tianjiao was stunned. He was truly in awe of Wang Yueban's thought process and couldn't agree with it, but at the same time admired his ability to fill in the blanks with his own imagination.

"Fatty Wang, you're saying General Chang was executed because of slander by a villain?"

......

"That's right! Chang Shiwan conquered cities and territories, killing without hesitation. In reality, the only people who could stand against him head-on were the scoundrels around him..."

Just as Fatty Wang was about to explain his point of view in detail, Wu Xie suddenly waved his hand.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense. The situation is very bad right now!"

"When we first saw the Shoushan stones scattered all over the ground, we thought it was the tomb of a wealthy merchant from the Wang Qin Empire, even after we saw the blood-red seal script on the back of the 'Courtship Phoenix' statue!"

"Everyone subconsciously overlooks one point: the 'ever-victorious general' recorded in the seal script does not mean 'victorious in every battle, always winning' in the literal sense!"

"In fact, there was such a fierce general during the Qin Dynasty, and his surname should be 'Chang' in full, Chang Shiwan."

Wang Yueban glanced at Wu Xie's serious expression and simply raised an eyebrow, unconcerned.

"Hey! I thought you were talking about something else, but it turns out it's like this."

"He's just a general who once led an army. In my eyes, he's no different from a wealthy merchant. He's already dead, so how can he jump out and scare you, Fatty?"

..........

Wu Xie shook his head:

"No! It can't be that simple. I wouldn't have been so worried if I hadn't known who the tomb's occupant was. Now that I know it's General Chang Shiwan..."

"Forget it, let's look ahead and see if it confirms my guess!"
