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

"This jade face is actually the portrait of the owner of this general's tomb!"

Wang Yueban exclaimed in surprise, but his mind seemed to be struggling to accept it.

"Wait a minute! All of you, get out of my way!"

While Wang Pangzi was talking, his hands were moving quickly. He immediately took out his phone, found the photos he had taken before, and compared them carefully. Suddenly, his face turned as black as a pig's liver.

"Look! The blood-red seal script was just carved on."

Wang Yueban's words hadn't even finished.

Crimson blood was dripping down the jade face!

"Hey hey!"

"It hurts so much, it's killing me, Fatty!"

Wang Yueban clutched his entire body, convulsing in pain, as he was in the tomb passage, which was also a curved corner.

Fatty Wang didn't see clearly what he bumped into, but the hard texture clearly told him that it wasn't a wall!

Because the surface of the bluestone brick walls inside the tomb passage was very dry, although his nose was sore, Wang Pangzi still smelled a strange odor the moment he was hit.

.....

Wu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes. He didn't rush forward to help Wang Yueban up immediately, but instead reached out to stop Wu Xie, who wanted to help.

"If something happens, let's observe first! Don't worry about Wang Yueban, he's a tomb raider with thick skin, there's no need to worry too much."

Wu Tianjiao's voice was low, but Wang Yueban, who had fallen to the ground, could still hear it clearly.

"Can you two bear to watch me, Fatty, suffer like this?"

But before Fatty Wang could retaliate in anger, a beam of powerful flashlight shone over.

The intense beam of light made Wang Pangzi's eyes well up with tears.

"Who are you? Don't you know that using a powerful flashlight in a dark tomb passage can cause sudden blindness to the pupils?"

"Don't you have any sense of public decency? If I hadn't forgotten my sunglasses today, I'd definitely have a shootout with you!"

Wang Pangzi lay on the ground cursing, but his hands kept moving. He quickly pulled out a black cloth from his pocket, covered his face, and rolled away, returning to Wu Tianjiao's side.

"Kaka!"

Two unusual sounds were heard, and the intense beam of light weakened.

"We found them over there!"

A gasp rang out!

The sound of light footsteps came from the other side of the tomb passage.

Wu Tianjiao reached out and pulled Wang Yueban up from the ground. His expression was a little strange because he remembered the voice that had just spoken. It was Jiang Jiaxu, the tall young man among the academy members.

A few breaths later, a young man wearing a headlamp and covered in sweat came running up, panting. Not far behind him were Luo Weier, Yuan Xin, and Aning, who had been separated from Wu Tianjiao and the others.

..........

"Hey!"

"You really are here!"

"Thank goodness, it seems you weren't harmed by those horrible lice."

The tall young man, Jiang Jiaxu, still carried a camera on his shoulder; even when he was fleeing for his life, he never abandoned this important piece of equipment.

.......

"Brother Tian, ​​you are indeed a lucky person, blessed by the heavens. Your safety has put my mind at ease."

Master Yuanxin stepped out from the crowd. His expression was somewhat strange, but it quickly returned to its usual calm and smile. He put his hands together and bowed.

.......

"Ouch... Ouch..."

"This hurts so much, Fatty... You... you know... I need compensation for emotional distress."

When Fatty Wang saw the large group of people from before, he immediately felt aggrieved about his previous experience and started crying and wailing, hoping to gain more benefits in the process.

Kong Zhengye, standing in the crowd, was somewhat amused and exasperated; this fat man really wasn't willing to suffer even the slightest loss.

"Hey! Fatty Wang, stop messing around. If we hadn't heard your cries of pain earlier, we wouldn't have found you here. We would have already gone into tomb 803 on the other side. And you're still here complaining that we abandoned you!"

Wang Yueban was somewhat confused when she heard this, but Wu Tianjiao was the first to react.

"Wait! You mean you didn't notice us before, and only came after hearing Fatty Wang's voice?"

Wu Tianjiao's expression was thoughtful, and his voice was somewhat serious.

"Yes! Because the tomb passage of this Qin Empire is very strange, we stayed together and didn't get separated during our escape!"

This time, it was A Ning who answered Wu Tianjiao's question, and she clearly sensed something unusual in his inquiry.

..........

“No way…”

Wang Yueban looked stunned, his face pale.

"I clearly bumped into something just now. I thought he was one of your forwards who had come out to scout ahead..."

"According to you, what exactly was that thing I bumped into earlier? There's nothing else on this road except for the bluestone bricks. Even if I'm blind, I wouldn't just aim at a wall and crash into it head-on. I'm not mentally disabled..."

As Fatty Wang spoke, he noticed that the faces of the people in front of him were unusually grim.

It seems there was something unusual about what he mentioned earlier...

Chapter 203: He vanished into thin air as he rounded the bend.

At this point, Fatty Wang subconsciously glanced at the tall young man Jiang Jiaxu. For some reason, Wang Yueban instinctively counted the number of people.

He was momentarily stunned, pointing a finger at the tall young man:

"Jiang Jiaxu, wasn't your school supposed to have three boys and two girls before? Why are there only two boys now? Where's the other one? Where did he go?"

.......

Hearing Fatty Wang's question, everyone's expressions darkened even further. Seeing that they had been discovered, the blond-haired Lowell had no choice but to explain:

“Mr. Wang, we encountered a very terrifying thing. The male student from the academy was at the very back of the group. When we turned a corner, he vanished into thin air right there in the straight tomb passage.”

"We only missed speaking to him for about ten seconds during that time, but this tomb of the Qin Empire is truly terrifying..."

No one objected to Lowell, because what he said was true: a living person vanished into thin air without making a sound.

..........

Hearing this, Fatty Wang surprisingly refrained from making sarcastic remarks. He had also encountered a very strange situation before, where a person who had been dead for several days had a normal body temperature. However, compared to that person, the root of the problem that he and Wu Tianjiao encountered was nothing serious.

Wu Xie, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up:

“Let’s not stay here any longer. Let’s try to explore forward. We’re blocked by lice behind us, and we have no way to retreat for the time being. Also, I’ve obtained some useful information. Let’s talk about it as we go.”

The group continued towards the only tomb passage at the intersection, but Wu Xie's voice sounded somewhat solemn:

"I learned from the other side of the tomb passage that this is the tomb of a general of the Qin Dynasty. The tomb owner should be 'Chang Shiwan'. He died by suicide. During the Qin Dynasty, there would be people who would design the tomb for the generals after they died. In order to prevent tomb robbers, the traps and dangers here are far beyond those of ordinary rich people's tombs."

But when they were halfway through their conversation, a blue stone brick statue suddenly appeared in front of them.

At the same time, Wu Tianjiao heard the familiar system voice in his mind.

[Ding! Special mission triggered!]

【｀ ??????????? blink?????????/1】

"system!"

"are you joking around with me?"

"Could you please be more specific when you issue the mission? What is 'Peng' and what is 'human-faced snake-bodied'?"

"Literally speaking, is it a snake with a human face? Or a person with a snake's face? System, you should at least give me some mental preparation, although I can't accept either one."

Wu Tianjiao angrily cursed the system in his mind, hoping that it could provide some detailed information. After all, he was looking at a blue stone carving covered with pythons when this task reminder suddenly popped up.

To be honest, in such a tomb passage, Wu Tianjiao had reason to suspect that the statue might shatter completely at any moment, and then hundreds of pythons would rush out from it.

[Host, please don't get agitated. The system won't issue nonsensical tasks. Please use details to discover the hidden secrets.]

"Oh my god... it's the same old trick again!"

Wu Tianjiao felt somewhat helpless. After issuing the task, the system in his mind went silent.

Although the description of "human face and snake body" gave Wu Tianjiao a vague sense of unease, it felt like he was about to encounter "Medusa."

However, this is the Great Xia Federation. Medusa should be an alien species. There's no reason why she would have left a mark during the Qin Dynasty.

But at that moment, Wu Xie let out a cry of surprise:

"I know what this is!"

"This is an ancient beast, [Pengteng]. I once saw it in a notebook. This creature on the stone carving has a red head and a white body. Its voice is like that of a bull. It is bloodthirsty and ferocious."

Fatty Wang rolled his eyes at Wu Xie:

"Hey~ my little naive one, you're making it sound so mysterious."
