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

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 205: A pair of dark, hollow eyes, quite terrifying.

"As the underground river is divided into two, the water flows and accumulates, increasing the pressure and gravity. When it reaches a certain point, they converge and merge. The mechanism here will be activated by the external mechanism, and the weight of the flowing gold sand will be reduced. Using the pressure of the underground river, the door can be opened."

"Similarly, if the gold sand here is moved slightly, creating an imbalance of power on both sides, then this door can also be opened from the inside!"

Old Hu nodded upon hearing this: "If that's the case, then it does seem more like someone deliberately designed it this way just to allow people to come and go!"

"So much trouble?" Fatty Wang looked up and said, then busied himself stuffing the gold dust into his backpack.

"Can you even walk out of here carrying all this gold?" Yang Xueli shook her head, speechless at the extent of the fat man's greed.

......

The visibility of the headlamps above the group was not very far, but they still vaguely illuminated the scene a few meters away.

Less than ten feet away from Wu Tianjiao, a dark figure lay prone at the top of the tomb passage, his limbs twisted strangely and clinging to the wall.

"Tick tock~"

"Tick tock~"

Drops of blood dripped from the top onto the ground.

"boom!"

A muffled sound!

A body, gnawed beyond recognition, lay on the ground.

Everyone recognizes this person; he is the male student from the academy who mysteriously disappeared in the tomb passage.

Such a bloody and cruel scene made Wu Tianjiao and the others feel nauseous. Anyone would find it hard to accept seeing their companion being bitten like that!

"You beast!!!"

Tall young man Jiang Jiaxu clenched his teeth. His classmate had been inexplicably murdered, and his anger overcame his fear.

"boom!"

Another muffled thud, and this time the figure hidden in the darkness finally revealed its true form!

This is a python about five meters long.

Sharp fangs, a red forehead, a snow-white body, and a broad, rounded muscular band about seven inches from the waist.

The snake's head drooped downwards, its fan-shaped muscles facing the crowd, and on its snow-white scales, the features of a human face were clearly visible.

Especially those dark, hollow eyes, which were quite frightening.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao finally understood why the system called this python "human-faced snake-bodied." It turned out that the natural patterns on its skin really resembled a human face. If you didn't look closely, it could really be mistaken for a real human face.

........

"Brother Tian, ​​judging from your expression, you seem to have quite a bit of insight into this monster. Could you explain it to me?"

Master Yuanxin smiled, his voice extremely calm, as if he was not disturbed by such a strange creature!

Seeing the surprised looks on everyone's faces, Wu Tianjiao didn't hold back and spoke slowly and deliberately:

"I saw a picture of this creature in a certain book. Its name is Peng, and it has a human face and a snake's body. It is bloodthirsty and cannibalistic!"

Inside the burial passage of the Qin Dynasty, the walls were paved with a large number of stacked bluestone bricks.

Although Wu Xie has revealed the identity of the tomb's occupant, Chang Shiwan was still a general of extraordinary status, no matter how unpopular he was in life. Although the tomb passage after his death was not more than ten zhang wide, it was still three or four zhang long.

The human-faced snake in front of everyone coiled its body, its neck standing tall.

A scarlet snake tongue flicked out from its lips, and its inverted triangular head rose and fell rhythmically.

"Hey yo!"

"This big guy looks tough to deal with. Although I'm a tomb raider, I only win by fighting the creatures in coffins. If you want me to take on this python one-on-one, forget it!"

"With my small frame, I don't even feel like I'd be big enough to fill his teeth!"

Wang Yueban glanced at the ferocious beast in front of them and instinctively wanted to retreat.

"Moo!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar like that of a bull came from behind them.

At this, the expressions of A Ning and the others, including Wu Tianjiao, all changed. They were currently facing off against the human-faced snake in front of them, and dared not make any rash moves, for fear of angering it and arousing its predatory instincts.

Just as everyone was on high alert, nervously thinking of a solution, the strange noise behind them completely dispelled their thoughts of running away.

It's truly a case of being caught between a rock and a hard place!

dilemma!

.......

The tall young man, Jiang Jiaxu, carried the camera he had been using earlier on his shoulder. He stared at the snow-white, scaled, human-faced snake in front of him and began to speak hesitantly:

"Well... well... although it's a bit cold to say this now."

“Personally, I think we can’t stay here any longer. The human-faced snake behind us might arrive soon, and if we are attacked from both sides, we might not even have a chance to escape.”

"Our students cannot be harmed. Kong Zhengye, we're counting on you this time. You promised me that you would have someone protect us in this tomb!"

As Jiang Jiaxu spoke, he moved closer to the crowd. His meaning was very clear: since you, Kong Zhengye, came in with me and Professor Luo as a security guard, then if we really encounter danger, don't just stand there and watch.

........ 0 ...

Kong Zhengye's expression was somewhat gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment. The dangerous situation before him meant he could no longer choose to escape.

The university's team leader, Jiang Jiaxu, was right. In this unexpected situation, someone had to make a sacrifice to give everyone a chance to survive.

His gaze fell on Duan Tao beside him. At that moment, the young man in the black suit was wearing sunglasses and had a slight smile on his lips. Before Kong Zhengye could say anything, Duan Tao strode out from the crowd.

As he walked, he rolled up his sleeves, his movements firm and resolute, revealing clearly defined muscles beneath his black suit.

Wrists, ankles, elbows, knees—most of the joints were wrapped in a dense network of bandages.

"Duan Tao, what are you going to do?"

Kong Zhengye was somewhat confused, so he quickly shouted:

"You don't need to be involved yet. Leave such a dangerous mission to Wang Yueban's team."

"When he made the deal with me, he specifically stated that his team would take full responsibility in the event of a similar incident!"

Kong Zhengye looked anxious. The human-faced snake was clearly extremely ferocious. If Duan Tao were to fight it face to face like this, not only would it be a thankless task, but more importantly, Duan Tao would be injured as a result.

Chapter 206: Muay Thai Warriors Fear No Enemy

The narrow tomb passage is not spacious, with the passageways on both sides built of bluestone bricks.

In the dark and oppressive environment, everyone's breathing could be clearly heard.

"hiss......"

Fatty Wang instinctively took a step back, his face filled with utter horror:

"Damn it, this is really weird!"

"Hey!"

“Look at this, there was clearly no trace of this before this jade face carving. It’s like they’re doing something terrible right under our noses.”

Wang Pangzi's hands didn't stop moving at all as he spoke. He reached into his backpack to take something out, when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and placed on his wrist.

"Wang Yueban, what are you trying to do? The situation is special right now, don't just take the backpack!"

Wu Tianjiao stepped forward with a serious expression, grasped the other person's elbow, and spoke in a solemn tone.

"Hey, my dear Wu Tianjiao, you're kidding me! The situation is really bizarre now. As a tomb raider, can't I even use a black donkey hoof for self-defense?"

"As the saying goes, chickens have their own skills, and dogs have their own ways. You can't be prejudiced against black donkey hooves; they are a cultural heritage of the ancestors of the Great Xia Kingdom!"

Wu Xie quickly gestured to Wang Yueban, telling him not to rush and to see what Wu Tianjiao was up to.

Things happened suddenly, and Wu Tianjiao's eyes were filled with some doubt, but at this moment he wanted to verify his guess.

As he moved closer to the jade human-faced statue, Wu Tianjiao averted his eyes, avoiding eye contact with the eerie face. He slowly extended a hand, his fingertips lightly touching the crimson blood flowing down the face of the jade statue.
