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

The next instant, a warm touch came from his skin, and Wu Tianjiao turned around abruptly:

"not good!"

"We can't stay here any longer, we need to leave quickly!"

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

Some of the people present were puzzled, especially Jiang Jiaxu from the academy, who was the most confused:

"It's been so long, we should have shaken off the human-faced snake by now. This jade human-face statue is a rare historical artifact; we haven't even finished documenting it yet..."

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

Wu Tianjiao ignored Jiang Jiaxu's questions. He quickly walked to Wu Xie's side, grabbed the other's arm, and prepared to rush forward, while rapidly explaining:

"This tomb is incredibly strange! The bloodstains on the jade figure's face are still warm! It's as if they were just smeared on! There's no time to explore the secrets hidden behind this now! Look closely at the jade figure's face; keep your eyes in the right direction!"

Upon hearing Wu Tianjiao's explanation, Jiang Jiaxu subconsciously glanced at the eyes of the jade face:

"What else is there to watch? So paranoid! What a coward..."

He muttered to himself, looking towards the top of the tomb passage behind him, his gaze fixed on the bluestone bricks at the top.

The headlamp worn by Jiang Jiaxu shone on the bluestone bricks several meters away, and in the next instant, countless white scales intertwined, and no one knew how they did it.

Numerous human-faced snakes intertwined, most of them over three meters tall, their dense array sending chills down one's spine!

"what!"

A gasp was about to escape Jiang Jiaxu's lips, a shock driven by instinct. However, his other hand moved with lightning speed, covering his mouth and pushing him backward step by step!

"Shh!"

"Are you out of your mind?! I, Fatty, still want to live a few more years. If you want to die, go ahead and kill yourself, don't drag me into it!"

Wang Pangzi was sweating profusely. His years of tomb raiding had given him a good mental fortitude, and he was able to stop the abnormal change immediately when he encountered danger!

This time, Wu Tianjiao was not among the crowd. When Master Yuanxin asked him about the strange creature, the human-faced snake, he deliberately omitted a detail.

The "Peng" is a bloodthirsty, man-eating creature with a human face and a snake's body; it prefers to live in groups!

These ferocious human-faced snakes are social creatures!

The group retreated to a distance of about ten feet...

"Strange... I have a feeling these human-faced snakes are afraid of something..."

Wu Xie muttered something under his breath in the crowd!

"Hey! My little naiveté, stop fooling yourself. These human-faced snakes are clearly no good. I suspect they were deliberately raised in the Wang Qin tomb to protect the main burial chamber!"

"Besides, snakes are cold-blooded animals, creatures devoid of emotion. I believe they have no concept of fear..."

At this moment, Wang Yueban had already released Jiang Jiaxu and retreated to Wu Tianjiao's side, using his body to block Wu Xie's view.

Wu Tianjiao's heart grew increasingly uneasy. He saw that the blood-red seal characters on the eyes of the jade face statue not far away were flowing with crimson blood, which was already close to the edge of the jade face!

A drop of bright red blood detached from the jade-like cheek and crashed heavily to the ground!

The next moment!

A large number of human-faced snakes fell from the top of the tomb passage onto the tomb passage. Each of them had a ferocious inverted triangular forehead that drooped downwards, and their latissimus dorsi muscles stretched out at the seven-inch mark. Each of them had a different human face that glared angrily!

"Moo!"

The roar of the bull was like a giant wave, rushing towards Wu Tianjiao and his group. The next moment, the human-faced snake slithered rapidly on the bluestone bricks of the tomb passage!

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

"My goodness! What on earth is going on? I knew it couldn't be anything good!"

"This is definitely a trap. The tomb's designer deliberately forced us to escape here, only to have us torn apart by the human-faced snakes that fell from the sky!"

The moment the human-faced snake landed, everyone stopped hesitating and ran forward at top speed.

"Rustling, rustling~"

In the dim light, the eerie faces with holes rose and fell like waves.

...........

As he ran, Wu Tianjiao's eyes narrowed. He noticed that the width of the tomb passage ahead had narrowed again. If this continued...

The group's speed will definitely slow down, and those at the back will definitely be torn apart and devoured by the human-faced snake.

"Damn it, Fatty Wang's jinx really came true! This is actually a trap in an ancient tomb. The designer must have wanted the intruders to perish here!"

........

"Amitabha....."

"May I ask if Brother Tian could lend me the data storage card I used at Jude Kao's company?"

Seeing Master Yuanxin's unusually serious expression, Wu Tianjiao didn't hesitate to hand over the storage card for the burial place of Jin Chanzi, which was a reward from the system.

...v.

Chapter 207: The Buddhist prayer beads in her hand twitched slightly.

The next moment, Master Yuanxin stopped in his tracks, his prayer beads twirled slightly, and he turned around and sat cross-legged!

"Master, run! Are you going to cut off your own flesh to feed the eagle?"

"Please, wake up! Think more positively! You're not even worth a sliver of a serpent's teeth, don't make meaningless sacrifices!"

Seeing this, Fatty Wang anxiously tried to grab Yuanxin and run away together, but Wu Tianjiao stopped him.

Master Yuanxin clasped his hands together, twirled his prayer beads, and uttered Buddhist mantras!

The Six-Syllable Mantra of Great Compassion:

Om Mani Padme Hum

The tomb passage of the Qin Dynasty was getting narrower and narrower, and it looked like only one person could pass through at a time.

However, the surface paved with bluestone bricks made it very convenient for the human-faced snake to pursue.

Their triangular mouths flickered their crimson tongues, and their bodies writhed and moved rapidly across the ground.

It is just as fast as an adult running.

"Wu Tianjiao! Let go!"

“Master Yuanxin is clearly having some kind of mental breakdown. Look at him sitting cross-legged; that’s the kind of behavior you’d expect to die in public. Could it be that he’s suffered some kind of shock, is under too much mental pressure, feels that there’s nothing left to hold him in this world, and wants to go to the Western Paradise?”

Wang 16, the fat man, tried to break free from Wu Tianjiao's restraints with his elbows. To be honest, he was very conflicted. His group was supposed to protect Luo Weier and the academy students as they entered the tomb.

Now that a male student has lost his life due to an accident, he already feels a little guilty. But if he, Wang Pangzi, were to see the helper he invited willingly die to save everyone again, frankly speaking, as a tomb raider, Wang Yueban, he absolutely cannot stand idly by!

Wu Tianjiao paid no attention to the inner struggle of Fatty Wang beside him. When he lent the system's storage card related to Jin Chanzi's tomb to Master Yuanxin, he had a vague realization.

Perhaps this Master Yuanxin must have some solution. After all, he is a highly skilled person hired by Jude Kao Company, and must have extraordinary abilities.

"Alright, Fatty! Hurry up and catch up with the people ahead. Don't let them get too far away. This is where a general from the Qin Dynasty is buried. If they wander off, they might run into some danger!"

Wu Tianjiao shoved Wang Yueban, telling him to stop spacing out. At times like this, everyone should work together and not neglect one task for another!

"Brother Tian..."

Wang Yueban knew that Wu Tianjiao was right. The more critical the moment, the more calm one should be and the less likely one is to panic. Without saying any more words, he turned around and sped up to catch up with the crowd behind him.

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao focused his gaze on the group of human-faced snakes dozens of meters away. Although he could directly feel their terrifying, overwhelming momentum, his mind was already on the items in the Ultimate Treasure System.

Wu Tianjiao made up his mind that if Master Yuanxin really was a "silver-waxed spearhead" and had a moment of despair, staging a scene of "cutting flesh to feed the snake," he would have to have a backup plan to protect himself.

I had previously obtained the Phosphorescent Tube of the Tomb Raider General, and then I could use about 1000 gold coins to buy Soft Corpse Incense in the system shop, fill the phosphorescent tube, and use it on the Human-Faced Snake.

Although the product description only states that the Soft Corpse Incense can soften a stiff corpse in a very short time after it is lit.

Literally speaking, this special aroma might have a certain anesthetic effect, causing the muscles and bones in an animal to lose their original resilience and become uncontrollable for a short period of time.

Inside the tomb passage, Master Yuanxin sat cross-legged, his hands clasped together, and he first silently recited the six-syllable mantra.

Then the twisting speed increased, and about three seconds later, Monk Yuanxin suddenly opened his eyes, took out a speaker player from the painting, and casually inserted the memory card that Wu Tianjiao had lent him.

The next moment, a powerful and vast chanting of scriptures resounded.

Master Yuanxin twirled his prayer beads, his hand movements slowing down from rapid to deliberate, while the syllables of his chanting became exceptionally loud and consistent with the rhythm of the audio.

The body's movements changed slightly!

The hands form a mudra.

Sit with your right leg placed on top of your left leg.

A fair complexion gradually softens as one adjusts their breathing to achieve mental and physical tranquility.

"The tomb passage is filled with evil spirits and malevolent energy. This humble monk does not forget to kill, but only to teach and guide..."

“Om” represents the heavenly realm, “Ma” represents the Asura realm, “Ni” represents the human realm, “Pa” represents the animal realm, “Mi” represents the demon realm, and “Hum” represents the hell realm.

........

Om Mani Padme Hum

........

Master Yuanxin moved his lips slightly, and the sound of chanting filled the air. His expression was solemn, but then suddenly became kind. He chanted and recited in sync with the loudspeaker in front of him!
