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

"Hey... I really didn't expect to survive. Back in college, I was always an atheist! But seeing something so bizarre, it's still hard to accept for a while..."

"A person who had been dead for more than four days actually stood up alive!"

The tall young man, Jiang Jiaxu, rubbed his chest while looking at the "Black and White Zombie" who was lying motionless on the ground with his limbs broken by Wu Tianjiao!

Hearing his reflections, Ah Ning, one of the crowd, shook her head, a thoughtful expression on her pretty face:

"I have lived in empires outside the Great Xia Federation for a long time. In fact, I have read about it in many books! But they are all vague! In the end, what is God? It is nothing but something that cannot be touched or seen, just a fantasy in people's minds."

At this point, Ah Ning spoke with some uncertainty:

"A more abstract description is that, in the eyes of those who believe in 'God,' God is an omnipotent messenger who punishes evil, promotes good, and bestows blessings upon people. In short, 'God' is still a word that expresses achievement in people's eyes. For example, if you do something unexpected, in your joy, you will involuntarily say..."

Oh my god....

"Hahahaha! This is hilarious! No wonder he's a 'highly educated person'—he can come up with such a realistic explanation!"

Wang Yueban nodded repeatedly at first when he heard A Ning's explanation, but in the end he burst into laughter!

"Oh my god, Wu Xie, be gentle, it hurts so much!"

Seeing that A Ning's face had darkened somewhat due to Wang Yueban's hearty laughter, Wu Xie reached out and pinched him to tell the fatso to watch his words. He then gave A Ning an apologetic look and began to explain:

"I've seen similar explanations before. For something so 'bizarre' and without any 'scientific' basis, there's a description in a notebook!"

"Actually, those who call themselves 'gods' have seen through everything in the world, retreated to the mountains and forests, and became immortals. After death, they transformed into energy and elements, spreading throughout the universe and becoming celestial beings. Therefore, immortals are also ever-changing and omnipotent. They have no emotions..."

"God should be a concept... God is the one who propels all life forward..."

Wang Yueban, standing in the crowd, couldn't hold back any longer. He grinned and spoke with a hint of resentment:

"Hehehe! Look at you, you're all a bunch of ignorant people. You bunch of bookworms, when you first encountered the 'Black and White Zombie Demon,' it was just a 'zongzi' in the end. Where did all these 'mythical and supernatural' theories come from!"

"After death, they transform into energy and elements, spreading throughout the universe and becoming celestial beings..."

"If I weren't Fatty, I would have thought you were talking about something else."

"In ancient times, in the primordial universe, Pangu wielded a giant axe, cleaving through chaos, and his body hair transformed into all things in the world..."

"Alright, Fatty, I'm about to run out of things to say. Hurry up! Stop rambling. By the way, Wu Tianjiao, do you still have any of your 'Three Flowers Jade Dew Pills'? I think Kong Zhengye, Jiang Jiaxu, and A Ning Wu Xie are acting a bit strangely. Give them another dose so they won't keep overthinking!"

"If they keep discussing this, I reckon the ancient legend of Nuwa creating humans will be 'proven'! It's just a 'zongzi' (rice dumpling)... A bunch of ignorant fools!"

Wang Yueban muttered something, but his gaze was fixed on Wu Tianjiao beside him. However, his eyes missed him!

The person has vanished!

Chapter 243: Bronze Coffin, Entangled by Vines

Wang Yueban was startled. This was the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire. If Wu Tianjiao had just disappeared like this, he would be quite "panicked"!

This was far more terrifying than encountering the "Black and White Zombies." Without Wu Tianjiao's guidance, they would most likely have been trapped and died in the "Corpse Fiend Eight Formations," eventually being devoured by the human-faced snakes, lice, and roe deer hidden in the darkness!

Thinking of this, Wang Yueban subconsciously shuddered and hurriedly waved his flashlight around, trying to find Wu Tianjiao's "trace"!

"My goodness~ Brother Wu Tianjiao~ My dear brother, where are you? Don't scare me like this! If you die young, how am I supposed to live?"

Fatty Wang looked anxious and muttered something under his breath.

"Snapped!"

A crisp sound!

Ah Ning slapped Wang Yueban on the back of the head, her pretty face full of anger:

"Fatty Wang, no offense, but could you please watch your words? Everyone's on edge right now. If you curse someone to death, you'll never have a peaceful life again!"

..

"Hey! What kind of talk is that? I didn't mean it that way..."

Wang Yueban's voice grew softer and softer, clearly lacking confidence. Wu Tianjiao's disappearance had made this tomb raider somewhat unsettled!

"Hey! Found it!"

Wang Yueban's powerful flashlight shone on a figure. About three zhang away from the Shoushan stone steps, Wu Tianjiao stood there, his eyes fixed on the top of the inverted bucket-shaped tomb, his body motionless, as if he were deep in thought.

"Brother Tian, ​​wait a minute! The lighting isn't very good here, don't wander around!"

Wang Yue shouted, but her movements were swift. She caught up with Wu Tianjiao in a few steps, and the others behind her did not dare to linger and quickly followed.

Kong Zhengye hesitated for a moment, glancing at his cousin's "body" lying not far away. He was clearly reluctant, but Duan Tao grabbed his wrist and quickly left the spot!

Wang Yueban hadn't run more than a few steps when he saw Wu Tianjiao, who had been standing still, rushing towards the top of the bluestone steps with a solemn expression, his speed as fast as lightning!

"Hey! Brother Tian! Wait a minute!!!"

..........

Wu Tianjiao did not turn around. A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and his blood and qi surged. In one leap, he covered several meters. The several-meter-high bluestone steps were only two or three steps for him.

At this moment, he was full of energy, and the blessing effect of General Faqiu was still protecting his entire body. If he did not take advantage of this opportunity to resolve all the unstable factors, he would be put on the defensive later.

"boom!"

His body landed heavily on top of the stone platform in the main burial chamber, but the scene before him filled him with horror!

"Lowell... has disappeared once again..."

Wu Tianjiao's heart tightened. He had clearly seen the other person kneeling here, but he had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

How did he manage to do that? Was what I saw before just an illusion?

Wu Tianjiao's expression was rather unpleasant. His gaze did not linger on the bronze coffin, and he stepped onto the floor where Luo Weier had been kneeling.

There was no one here, but the bright red bloodstains on the surface of the Shoushan stone proved that everything that had happened before was real!

It was obvious that this was the bloodstain left by Luo Weier's "kneeling" and impact. Wu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes, squatted down, and reached out to touch the bright red bloodstain on the ground!

Feeling the warmth from his fingertips, Wu Tianjiao made up his mind! This...this is Luo Weier's head blood...

.....

"Huff! Huff! Brother Tian... what's wrong with you... slow down!"

Wang Yueban ran over breathlessly. Wu Tianjiao was so fast that he almost couldn't catch up. Wang Yueban had to use all his strength to catch up!

"Thud!" A muffled sound!

"I can't take it anymore! I'm exhausted, let me catch my breath!"

Fatty Wang's expression was rather unpleasant. He slumped down on the ground, and at the same time, footsteps began to sound behind him.

"Wang Yueban, are you in such a hurry to be reincarnated?"

Jiang Jiaxu, carrying a camera on his shoulder, was in the crowd. In his haste to run, he almost dropped his valuable and beloved equipment.

"By the way! I heard you mention that thing before, 'Black and White Zombie Demon' or maybe 'Zongzi', is it that these things can only come out at night to harm people?"

........

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueban glanced sideways at Jiang Jiaxu behind him and subconsciously offered an explanation:

"Where did you hear all this unreliable stuff? These are all rumors on the internet, which are basically misunderstandings. They all think that 'zongzi' only come out at night, as if the sun will harm or kill them, but that's wrong!"

"Since ancient times, there has been a very mysterious profession in the Great Xia Federation. They drive 'zongzi' (rice dumplings) for thousands of miles. If the 'zongzi' could be killed by sunlight, they would have starved to death long ago..."

"However, it is undeniable that 'zongzi' are yin and evil creatures that hate sunlight, which can be seen from the fact that they always move at night!"

Listening to Wang Yueban, the tomb raider, impart his "unbelievable knowledge," the tall young man Jiang Jiaxu fell silent. He no longer wanted to ask any more questions, as his values ​​were simply too difficult to accept for the time being!

However, there was one thing he just couldn't help saying; he felt that if he didn't ask, he would develop a mental illness!

"Um... this thing, does it suck blood...?"

.......

"Snapped!"

Wang Yueban was speechless, and he sighed helplessly, covering his forehead with one hand:

"Jiang Jiaxu, do you think this 'zongzi' is a blood-sucking 'ghost'? Or do you think it's a bat, active at night and hiding during the day?"

"Fine, I'll just be blunt. A 'zongzi' is an unconscious body. You know, have you ever eaten a bullfrog? Even after the skin is removed, the bullfrog's legs can still thrash around. That's a similar reaction. Think of it this way. The so-called 'walking corpse' is exactly what this means!"

However, Wang Yueban's voice suddenly stopped, because Wu Tianjiao, who was standing next to him, suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the coffin not far away!

This was a bronze coffin that was entirely dark green, with many mysterious and ancient totem patterns carved on it, but everyone's attention was drawn to something unexpected!

The bronze coffin was completely entwined by a dark green vine with barbs!

A chilling scene unfolded as a cluster of flames suddenly rose from the upper right corner of the bronze coffin, flickering and scorching the dark green vegetation!

Just then, a dry sound rang out!

This...brother.

This is actually a Gelsemium elegans!

Wild kudzu vine!

Chapter 244: Gelsemium elegans! The deadly poisonous wild kudzu vine

The crowd stood there, somewhat stunned, not quite understanding what was happening before their eyes!

"Hey! I'm not kidding, but vines are growing on the coffin!"

"If I hadn't seen the 'Demon Flower' datura at the entrance of the main tomb chamber earlier, this scene would probably have seemed quite unusual to me!"
