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

"This person is so evil! Who did this?"

Jiang Jiaxu spoke up, somewhat annoyed. He had been ambushed without warning, and this humiliation was hard to swallow. In a daze, he seemed to suddenly realize something:

"By the way, Professor Luo, in our previous conversation, you seemed to have talked a lot about exotic flowers and plants. Do you have a way to deal with the toxicity of 'Datura' pollen?"

"Uh...strange...? Instructor Luo...Luo Weier?"

The tall young man, Jiang Jia, scanned the crowd, but still couldn't find the person he was looking for.

"What on earth happened? Lowell's men have disappeared!"

Chapter 241: Born on the Red Sand Day, Died on the Black Sand Day

Upon realizing this, Jiang Jiaxu was slightly startled, and his expression changed several times in succession!

Jiang Jiaxu looked somewhat flustered. He had been too tense on the way and hadn't paid attention to Luo Wei's whereabouts, still assuming that the other person was in the crowd.

Just then, Wu Tianjiao suddenly spoke up from the crowd:

"Lowell separated from us before we entered the Corpse Fiend Eight Trigrams Formation in the main tomb chamber!"

Inside the main tomb, Wu Tianjiao's gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally settling on a graceful figure. He saw A Ning in the crowd give a subtle nod.

Ah Ning took two steps forward and explained:

“We actually noticed Luo Wei’s unusual behavior quite early on, especially after entering the tomb of the Wang Qin Empire. I secretly observed him many times and found that Luo Wei didn’t seem like a ‘newcomer’... well, how should I put it, he seemed quite familiar with this tomb!”

"After a series of unexpected events, I was previously wondering why a plant called 'Datura' from outside the Great Xia Federation would appear in the tomb of the Wang Qin Empire. Now I am basically certain that it was brought in by Lowell."

"Now everything makes sense. Jiang Jiaxu, the tutor your academy hired, may have ulterior motives. His goal might be to bury everyone alive in this tomb of the Wang Qin Empire!"

Ah Ning's voice was like ice, striking the hearts of all the students in the academy. Jiang Jiaxu opened his mouth, though he was extremely unwilling to believe this fact, but for a moment he couldn't find the right words to refute it!

Wu Tianjiao, who was in the crowd, did not participate in the discussion between A Ning and the others; he focused all his attention on his mind.

The system notification sounded again just now!

[Ding! Emergency mission detected!]

[Black and white zombies, fearful of anger, fond of meat, and craving blood! Please protect everyone present (1/1)]

[Task completed, reward 500 gold coins!]

Wu Tianjiao frowned slightly as he looked at the completed task notification in his mind, and subconsciously asked the system:

"System! System! I risked my life to defeat the 'Black and White Zombies' and protect everyone, and you only rewarded me with 500 gold coins? That's incredibly stingy! It seems we're about to face the bronze coffin directly, and there are many dangers ahead. Can't you give me something more powerful?"

[Ding! Host, this is a problem with your judgment! The 'Black and White Zombies' are the weakest among the 'Zombies' according to their class! They are slow, lack the ability to think, and only instinctively follow their fleshly desires!]

The optimal solution is to use weapons such as knives, guns, and clubs to break the joints of the "Black and White Zombie," rendering it incapacitated!

Wu Tianjiao was speechless upon hearing this, and a few black lines appeared on his forehead!

"That's it! That's it? This seemingly powerful 'Black and White Zombie Demon' is actually a defective product that's all bark and no bite. This guy's defense and attack power should be quite strong. It seems I've made a huge mistake this time. I used a sledgehammer to crack a nut!"

"This situation is very similar. You spot an 'ant' on the roadside and become extremely alert, pulling out a 'grenade' from your pocket just to take care of it..."

"Waste is shameful...it hurts so much!"

Wu Tianjiao was somewhat helpless, but he couldn't blame others for this. After all, he had just arrived at this strange tomb of the Qin Empire and was seeing so many strange creatures for the first time. In particular, there was such a rumor on Earth before.

[Only after being buried for hundreds of years, with limbs stiff, head not bowed, eyes not slanted, legs not separated, and body not decomposed, can it be called a 'zongzi' (rice dumpling)!]

According to this theory, a "zongzi" must have at least a "hundred-year cultivation"! Originally, I thought that by using the Seven Corpse Fist, the martial art of the Tomb Raider General, I could protect myself, but I didn't expect to provoke the opponent in just one round!

In the end, Wu Tianjiao didn't feel that he had really lost much. After all, being able to learn more about the Great Xia Federation and some of the forces in this world was also a form of knowledge accumulation!

Wu Tianjiao ignored the system and turned his attention to his inventory!

Currently, I possess three weapons: the Mountain Moving Taoist's Three-Edged Flying Tiger Claw, the Tomb Raider General's Phosphorescent Tube, and the Unloading Ridge Sect's secret treasure, the Thunder God Drill!

Time-limited item: The Mysterious Treasure of the Tomb Raider - Qiankun Compass Spoon!

Two talismans: one for calming the soul and one for illuminating the pupils.

There are also the martial arts techniques of the Unloading Ridge Warriors, such as the Unloading Ridge Soaring Serpent Hand

Additionally, there are 1000 gold coins in stock!

Looking at so many amazing items, Wu Tianjiao nodded in satisfaction. Although he had wasted some money before, he still had many trump cards up his sleeve!

...........

"Cough cough!"

Just then, the discussion among the crowd fell silent. It was clear that A Ning had properly educated everyone in the academy. Although Jiang Jiaxu and his group still looked somewhat unpleasant, they had accepted the reality that their academy's "mentor," Luo Weier, was not a good person!

Wang Yueban stepped out from the crowd, coughed lightly twice with one hand to his mouth, and looked at Wu Tianjiao in front of him, speaking:

"Brother Tian, ​​you were a bit reckless this time. During the historical period of the Wang Qin Empire, in the remote western border region, there was a legendary small village nestled against the mountains. A tomb raider in the village contracted corpse poison while tomb raiding. Although he was saved by an old man, old habits die hard, and he wasn't exactly clean! The entire village abandoned him in the bushes behind the mountain to fend for himself..."

Seeing that Wang Yueban was about to launch into a long speech, Wu Tianjiao quickly waved his hand:

"Alright, Wang Yueban, stop rambling and get to the point. When did you become so indecisive?"

Seeing Wu Tianjiao's somewhat impatient expression, Fatty Wang quickly spoke up:

"Sigh... my brother Wu Tianjiao, my dear brother, don't be anxious. I can tell you don't know how powerful this 'zongzi' is! Alright, I'll get straight to the point!"

"The tomb raider crawled back from the mountains. He came again for help, but this time no one was willing to help him. They even tied him to a tree, but he died mysteriously the next day. That night, the villagers wanted to bury him, but they found that his body was missing..."

Wu Tianjiao felt utterly speechless upon hearing this...

"That's it? You've been rambling on for so long, and this is all you wanted to say?"

Wang Yueban, however, gave a mysterious and solemn explanation:

"Latest records show that villagers on the western border of the empire were bitten and turned into 'zongzi' one by one. Some villagers who left in time were also turned into 'zongzi' when they returned to the village in the morning!"

1.8..

Wu Tianjiao stared at Wang Yueban's serious expression and suddenly felt an urge to punch him.

"You're kidding me! What you're describing isn't some 'zombie' in a tomb, it's a Resident Evil spin-off from a post-apocalyptic story on Earth, where humans infected with a 'virus' turn into zombies!"

Seeing that Wu Tianjiao clearly didn't believe him, Wang Yueban quickly began to explain:

"Don't say that, Brother Tian! I saw this sentence in the tomb raider's notes!"

Those born on a red sand day, die on a black sand day, and are buried in a sandstorm will become "zongzi" (rice dumplings)!

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianjiao suddenly stopped in his tracks. His eyes were fixed on the top of the steps, where he saw a figure kneeling near the bronze coffin not far ahead!

With hands outstretched, prostrate yourself on the ground!

[Ding! Emergency mission detected!]

[Sign in at the Shaman God's altar 0/1].

Chapter 242: Ancient Relics, Blood Jade of the Witch God

The main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire was constructed from special Shoushan stone. After using the Seven Corpse Fist, a secret manual scroll of the Faqiu General, Wu Tianjiao can still feel the energy flowing through his internal organs!

My gaze was fixed on the central stone platform of the inverted bucket-shaped tomb. My dark brown pupils unconsciously contracted and expanded, and the originally dark and blurry environment became slightly brighter. The figure that had been kneeling on one side of the bronze coffin became clearer.

Looking at that familiar back and golden hair, Wu Tianjiao was certain that he was the foreigner "Lowell" who had disappeared before!

This was quite unexpected for Wu Tianjiao. In his opinion, it was unbelievable that Luo Weier was able to break away from the group and cross the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation alone to reach the stone platform at the very center of the main tomb chamber!

Wu Tianjiao was puzzled. Luo Weier's body trembled slightly as he lay prone on one side of the bronze coffin, his body rising and falling at a certain frequency, his forehead occasionally hitting the bluestone bricks on the ground, each time about two or three seconds apart!

"Boom boom boom!"

Wu Tianjiao's ears twitched, and he could clearly hear the sound of a forehead hitting a stone brick coming from not far away!

At this moment, Wu Tianjiao did not make any rash moves. Putting aside the strangeness of these 16 faceless men "Lowell", the mission prompt in his mind alone made him feel uneasy.

[The Altar of the Witch God 0/1]

After carefully considering this sentence, Wu Tianjiao turned his attention back to the descriptions of the two tasks mentioned earlier!

The Earthly Fiend 'Hidden Dragon' transforms into a 'Dragon,' known as the 'Walking Dragon.' The Walking Dragon enters the 'Sea' and is locked in a deep well!

[Excavation of the Shaman God's Dragon-Locking Well 0/1]

[Ancient Relic, Blood Jade of the Witch God (Shattered).]

[Please assist Wu Xie and Wang Yueban in finding the other half of the Witch God's Blood Jade in the ancient tomb 0/1]

.......

Wu Tianjiao subconsciously extracted the key information: Wang Yueban had a fragment of the Blood Jade of the Witch God. The main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire was engraved with the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation Diagram from the Qimen Dunjia, as well as another branch of the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, which was used to create the Witch God Dragon Locking Well!

Finally, the location of the stone platform in the inverted bucket-shaped tomb of the Qin Empire turned out to be a shamanic altar!

The clues come together, and when combined with the tomb inscriptions seen earlier, we arrive at the epitaph of General Chang Shiwan!

A sudden realization dawned on Wu Tianjiao's mind: perhaps...

This "Chang Shiwan" general was also plotted against after his death. He was just a "good general" on the frontier during the "Wang Qin Empire" period, and he was always marginalized on the edge of imperial power.

Given the frequency of battles at the time, the death of a general was not something that could cripple the empire, and this was something that was being dealt with.

But for such a person who was marginalized from power, the general actually built such a magnificent and massive mausoleum for him. Now, upon careful reflection, it is not hard to see the mystery behind it!

Could it be that the people from the Qin Dynasty had ulterior motives for building such a tomb?

Just as Wu Tianjiao was sorting through the mission information in his mind, a sigh came from the crowd beside him:
