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

Fatty Wang curled his lip, clearly not liking the creatures in the mural.

"Hey! Forget it, I can't accept the imagination of people from 1,500 years ago! I guess this thing is something like a door god, carved on it to ward off bad luck!"

..........

"Stop guessing! I've seen this thing in a book before. The description is: This beast is called the Paoxiao. It has the body of a sheep and the face of a human. Its eyes are under its armpits. It has tiger teeth and leopard claws. Its voice is like a cat. It loves flesh and blood!"

"This mural carving here is definitely not that simple. We'd better figure out a way to get into the main burial chamber quickly!"

Wu Tianjiao's voice sounded somewhat hurried, his heart began to beat faster, and he subconsciously urged everyone to hurry up!

"Meow......."

A sudden meow rang out!

......

A cat's meow suddenly rang out in the silent tomb passage, and everyone's expression changed instantly. They instinctively gathered together, their expressions wary as they scanned the surroundings with their flashlights, but apart from the blue stone bricks, they found nothing unusual.

"Hey! Stop pushing! I can't breathe!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Wang Yueban was struggling to breathe and could only continue shouting:

"Make way! Get out of my way, all of you. Are you all such cowards?"

"I just thought Brother Tian's words were too far-fetched. How could a roe deer owl possibly exist in this world? If such a beast with the body of a sheep and the face of a human really existed, it would be listed as a top rare species in the Great Xia Federation!"

"Besides, the meowing I did before was something I unconsciously imitated!"

......

"You fat bastard!"

Wu Xie almost instinctively punched Wang Yueban on the shoulder, his face full of indignation:

"You can't be joking without considering the context. Haven't we seen enough strange phenomena before? My notes have recorded the appearance of a creature similar to the [Peng Python], so it's not impossible for another [Roe Deer Owl] to appear!"

"Most importantly, don't forget that 1,500 years ago, although people's imagination was exaggerated, for sculptors, pure imagination was not enough to support them in completing a fine stone carving. There was a high probability that they would carve it one-to-one based on the 'real object'!"

"Of course, so much time has passed, and many records have been erased from the annals of history..."

........

“Wu Xie is right. Although this stone carving is ‘fabricated,’ you can still find something unusual about it if you look closely. I study history, and there are records of such things!”

The tall, young man Jiang Jiaxu agreed with Wu Xie's point of view, but at the same time, he was furious at Wang Yueban's "joke"—he had genuinely been scared out of his wits just now...

...

"I'm just trying to liven things up..."

Wang Pangzi muttered to himself but his hands never stopped moving. He took out the old silk from the painting again, carefully examining the details on it, and occasionally looking up and looking around.

He then took out a small iron rod from his pocket and began tapping and striking along the bluestone brick walls on both sides of the tomb passage.

"Dong dong!"

"Knock knock!"

The metal struck the bluestone bricks with a crisp clanging sound. After a short while, Wang Yueban stopped what he was doing, his face showing a hint of surprise, and spoke up:

"Found it, it's right here!"

Immediately afterwards, Wang Yueban tapped the bluestone brick in front of him with the small iron rod.

"precisely!"

This time, a hollowed-out echo was heard.

"Whoo~"

Wang Yueban swung his fist with all his might and slammed it down hard on the bluestone brick in front of him.

"Crunch~Crunch~"

Immediately afterwards, a slight vibration came from behind the arched stone door, the sound of metal rubbing together. Gradually, the sound increased, and the closed stone door opened inward, revealing a deep and straight bluestone brick tomb passage.

"How about that! Without me, Fatty, you probably wouldn't have found a way to get through even if you were beaten to death!"

The group followed Wang Yueban as he walked, when he pointed to the side of the Shoushan stone archway and spoke:

"See that? This stone door is over seventy centimeters thick. Without proper explosives, it's impossible to get through here by brute force alone!"

"Sigh... This time, I'm not asking for much. I just hope no one gives me a stack of old men's banknotes as a thank you when we get out..."

Wang Yueban relaxed his shoulders. It wasn't that he was being arrogant or feeling like he was getting cocky, but rather that the situation was indeed as it was. Even if a few more experts came to this tomb of the Qin Empire, they would all perish here!

But just then, a strange sound rang in everyone's ears again!

"Meow~"

The moment the sound rang out, Jiang Jiaxu, a tall young man in the crowd of students, finally couldn't hold back any longer:

"Fatty Wang, what exactly do you want! You can't keep joking around like that!"

........

Wang Yueban was also startled and her voice trembled slightly:

"No...it wasn't me just now..."

Before 697 could finish speaking, another strange noise rang out!

"Meow!!!"

This time, the cat's meow sounded like a child's cry, piercing through eardrums and striking everyone's brains, giving them a feeling of goosebumps!

........

Fatty Wang subconsciously swallowed, stiffly turning his neck to look behind him:

"hiss......."

Shining the flashlight behind me, I saw a dark creature leap down from the top of the wall. As the light focused, I could see a body covered in gray fur!

Wu Tianjiao clenched his fist under his sleeve. Now he could finally see the true appearance of the roe deer. Just as it had been described before, it had two sharp ram horns on its head and four front paws on the ground. Because it had the paw pads of a feline, it didn't make a sound when it moved forward.

The roe deer was holding a piece of meat in its mouth, with obvious black spots on it.

This monster just devoured the people who died here four days ago.

The roe deer raised its neck and swallowed its food, its sharp, barbed teeth gleaming menacingly under the light!

The next moment, his head drooped, and Wu Tianjiao understood why he was called a sheep with a human face.

This roe deer is a strange feline with a slightly round face that resembles the outline of a human face. The hair above its nasal cavity has two symmetrical black dots that echo the eyes on a human face!

At first glance, it subconsciously resembles a human face!

Chapter 223: Open! The Human Body's Meridians! Two Hands and One Foot!

However, upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that the roe deer's real eyes are located below its neck, close to its collarbone!

If we had to find a similar creature, it would be something like the eye position of an anteater, but further back.

......

"My goodness! Fatty Wang, you're such a damn jinx! Why did you have to meow like a cat?! Look! Like attracts like, your voice attracted it. If I die here this time, I won't let you off the hook even when I'm haunted in the underworld!"

The tall young man, Jiang Jiaxu, was so frightened that his legs went weak.

"Stop yelling! What are you standing there for? Run! This thing doesn't look friendly! Hurry up, there's an open stone gate ahead, maybe we can stop it!"

Fatty Wang shoved Jiang Jiaxu, grabbed Wu Xie's arm, and rushed into the main tomb chamber without looking back. Facing a tiger-like being head-on without any sharp weapons would be suicide!

The miracle of Wu Song fighting the tiger will not happen among this group of people!

Everyone reacted quickly, following Fatty Wang into the main tomb chamber without looking back!

Only Wu Tianjiao turned around!

Looking at the Mountain-Moving Taoist's unique skill in his mind, the Scroll of Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper, he subconsciously chanted in his mind, "Use it!"

A profound aura erupted from within! A profound and ancient voice boomed in my ears!

Open! The human body's energy channels! Both hands and one foot!

Lieque, the Taiyin meridian of the hand!

Pianli, Hand Yangming Meridian!

Fenglong, the collateral meridian of the Foot Yangming channel!

........

As he listened to the ancient and majestic voice in his mind, Wu Tianjiao felt a warm current spreading from his forehead to his brow.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe, and Wu Tianjiao subconsciously categorized it as the legendary "qi sensation"!

Wu Tianjiao knew that there were many legendary ancient sects in the history of the Great Xia Kingdom. Their history was long and their martial arts knowledge were all connected. He never expected to have the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

I once saw the Mountain Moving Taoist's unique skill, Kui Xing Kicking the Dipper, on an LCD screen; it was incredibly cool and stylish.

To sum it up in a saying from Earth, it's like the wind, the dragon, and the tiger!

At this moment, the inexplicable old man's voice in his mind became increasingly desolate and loud, and his subconscious mind instantly had a state of enlightenment!

The Hand Taiyin Collateral Meridian, named Lieque, is a separate collateral meridian belonging to the Hand Taiyin Lung Meridian. It originates between the muscles behind the radial styloid process above the wrist joint, runs parallel to the Hand Taiyin Meridian, enters the palm, and spreads to the thenar eminence.
