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

[Ding! Emergency task detected! Completed]

[Please stay put, host! Open your arms and embrace the "Zongzi" 1/1]

[Mission Completed; Reward: Chi You Bloodline x1]

[Chi You's bloodline; the pulse is the origin, governing its course, regulating its measure, internally connecting the five viscera, externally distinguishing the six bowels...]

Chapter 258: The Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends Locked the Dragon Well and Broken in Response!

Looking at the Chi You bloodline that had appeared in his inventory, Wu Tianjiao felt that this hug hadn't been in vain. He had obtained this legendary bloodline reward and wondered what kind of improvement it would bring after using it!

Wu Tianjiao suppressed this thought in his heart. Now that he was also empowered by the Seven Corpse Fist, the martial art of the Tomb Raider General, his overall physical attributes had been greatly enhanced!

If we were to use the Chi You bloodline now, the improvement would likely be limited!

"Brother Tian, ​​what are you doing... Don't you know that this 'zombie' that has been dead for over a thousand years is covered in germs? What if you get infected after you leave here if you're not careful!"

Wang Yueban exclaimed in surprise, his heart nearly leaping out of his chest when he saw Wu Tianjiao inexplicably hug the "zongzi"!

However, before Wu Tianjiao could explain, the system notification sounded in his mind again!

[Ding! Special mission detected!]

[Leading the group to the vicinity of the entrance to the tomb 0/1]

Inside the main tomb chamber, Wu Tianjiao realized that the moment the voice in his mind fell, the Qiankun Compass in his arms started operating again.

The bronze spoon on the square base of the Bagua rotates up and down, and finally settles back into a fixed position!

Wu Tianjiao narrowed his eyes! He really hadn't expected such a change! Looking at the direction of the brass handle of the Qiankun Compass Spoon, a rare artifact from the tomb, it wasn't hard to tell that this artifact was the key item for leaving the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire!

After examining it closely, Wu Tianjiao noticed the countdown timer below the item. He remembered that this "compass" that could automatically determine direction had a time limit, and several hours had passed since it was originally set. However, he did not expect that the system would re-inject time into the entire Qiankun Sinan Spoon!

Does this mean that embracing a zongzi (rice dumpling) comes with such a blessing?

Watching the countdown tick away rapidly, Wu Tianjiao no longer hesitated and casually tossed the Qiankun Compass Spoon he was carrying to Wang Yueban beside him.

"Wang Yueban, you lead everyone and leave here quickly. It seems my 'homemade method' has limited effect on Chang Shiwan. I'll stay at the back of the group. You all follow the guidance of the Qiankun Compass and head towards the entrance of the tomb."

Wang Yueban didn't react for a moment, and subconsciously spoke:

"Then... Brother Tian, ​​what about you? Let me stay at the very back of the crowd! For this kind of rearguard work, I'm tough and thick-skinned, and I'm sure even General Chang Shiwan can't do anything to my thick-skinned defense!"

"Let's leave it at that. If the situation gets really critical, I can consider taking off my shoes and letting the smell of athlete's foot overwhelm the other party! No matter what, Chang Shiwan can be classified as a 'zongzi' (a type of rice dumpling), so he must have an extremely strong sense of smell. My unorthodox method might actually work!"

Wang Pangzi spoke, but his speech became slower and slower. He noticed Wu Tianjiao's gloomy face and subconsciously realized that the situation was not as safe as he had imagined!

Perhaps their own behind-the-scenes boss cannot subdue the "big zombie" in front of them for long!

Considering this, Wang Yueban, a tomb raider, stopped joking and turned around with a serious expression. He pulled Wu Xie up from behind and walked to the front of the crowd, using the surrounding eerie green flames to guide them in the direction indicated by the Qiankun Sinan Spoon!

"Brother Tian, ​​I believe in you. I'll definitely be waiting for you at the entrance of the tunnel!"

Wang Yueban's voice faded into the distance. Wu Tianjiao did not pay attention to the specific situation on Wang Yueban's side. Instead, he focused his attention on Chang Shiwan in front of him, whose facial muscles gradually became ferocious.

A series of soft chewing sounds came from inside the lower jaw!

It's not hard to tell that the corpse-fixing pill I put in his mouth earlier won't last much longer!

Wu Tianjiao cautiously backed away, his intuition clearly sensing that the "zongzi" in front of him was extremely dangerous!

.

"Crack!"

About a dozen breaths later, a shattering sound rang out, and the Corpse-Fixing Pill finally gave out!

The first time Chang Shiwan, standing inside the coffin, opened his eyes!

Those were pupils that shimmered with a scarlet, blood-red light. There was no white in the eyes or pupils; only a deep, crimson color!

An extremely fierce aura rushed over and pressed down on us!

Illusions flashed through Wu Tianjiao's mind. The Tomb Raider General sat cross-legged, and a faint shout came from his mouth!

All the previous fervor and confusion vanished, and the energy within his body surged into his brain, bringing clarity to his mind!

"System! System! What's going on? Isn't this a normal tomb raiding world? Why are there such 'monsters' here?!"

Wu Tianjiao suppressed his shock. This General Chang Shiwan could bewilder him with just a glance. He was extremely terrifying. He was much more powerful than the human-faced snake and the sheep-bodied human-faced monster in the tomb passage!

However, the system in his mind remained silent this time!

Chang Shiwan, inside the bronze coffin in front of him, seemed to have been stimulated by something. His mouth was wide open, his facial muscles were twisted and ferocious, and his armor was bulging up and down!

The bronze chains rubbed against the front of his chest and abdomen!

"Click-clack-click!"

The clanging and clashing of metal were extremely piercing!

"call!"

Wu Tianjiao clearly felt a terrifying suction force emanating from Chang Shiwan's bulging chest! The surrounding wind pressure was contracting inward!

Chest rises and falls!

"boom!"

One of the seventy-two earthly fiends that formed the Dragon-Locking Well broke instantly!

"Danger!"

Wu Tianjiao felt a strong sense of alarm! He instinctively turned his body to the side and rolled on the ground!

The moment the bronze iron ring shattered, a sound like a machine gun exploded throughout the tomb!

The walls of the main tomb chamber, carved from Shoushan stone, suddenly sank down, revealing deep holes in less than half a breath!

The sight of crossbows being loaded and chambered on one wall was particularly spectacular!

Illuminated by the eerie green flames, it resembled a large-scale execution site!

"Puff puff!"

Without giving Wu Tianjiao much time to think, a dense rain of bronze arrows, each as thick as a finger bone, poured down, their target Chang Shiwan inside the bronze coffin!

Wu Tianjiao lowered his body and lay prone on the platform of the main tomb chamber. The strong wind pressure roared over his head, stinging his skin slightly!

"Oh my god! What's going on? Why are there crossbows from the wartime era in the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire?!"

Wang Yueban gasped in surprise. He looked at the bronze arrow flying overhead, his mouth almost hitting the ground. At first, he thought he had triggered some kind of tomb mechanism, but now it seemed that was not the case!

Just then, Master Yuanxin from the crowd suddenly uttered a Buddhist chant:

"Amitabha! Benefactor Wang, you should not linger here. You should move towards the tunnel as soon as possible and not waste Brother Tian's efforts!"

"This humble monk has a way to assist them!"

Chapter 259: The Hardness of the Flesh Comparable to Metal

Wang Yueban didn't hesitate; he quickened his pace and sped forward in the direction indicated by the Qiankun Compass. During this time, he saw Yuan Xin reach into his robes and take out an item:

“Master Yuanxin, we monks don’t lie. It’s not that I’m looking down on you, but this thing can really help Wu Tianjiao?”

Master Yuanxin, standing in the crowd, calmly began to explain:

"What I hold in my hand is a wooden fish! It's one of the ritual instruments we Buddhist disciples use when chanting scriptures. It was formerly known as a fish drum or fish board. It's a wooden instrument shaped like a fish, with a hollow center; when struck, it produces a sound..."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueban felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

"Master Yuanxin, are you performing a ritual to 'send off' Brother Wu Tianjiao by striking a wooden fish? He's currently on the platform in the main burial chamber. You must be joking!"

..

"No! No!"

This is! The Four Noble Truths as a Symbol! The Buddha's Seal! The Great Enlightenment of Vajrayana!

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

Inside the main tomb of the Qin Dynasty, Wang Yueban walked at the front of the procession, holding the Qiankun Sinan spoon in his hand. His eyes were fixed on the brass handle of the spoon, and he dared not relax for a moment!

As a tomb raider, he was also amazed by the "treasure" given to him by Wu Tianjiao!

This Qiankun Sinan Shao Hao 733 seemed to have a life of its own, constantly swaying forward on the Shoushan stone platform below the inverted bucket-shaped tomb, at a speed and frequency that exceeded Wang Yueban's imagination!

As a tomb raider, he experienced the power of the "Corpse Demon Eight Trigrams Formation" in the tomb for the first time. The Qiankun Sinan Dipper changed its position every three to two seconds. The frequency of such changes was beyond his imagination!

Wang Yueban reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking to himself that without Wu Tianjiao's Qiankun Compass, he would not have been able to break through his current predicament with his half-baked tomb raiding skills!

Although the situation was critical, he was more concerned about what was happening behind him!

"Master Yuanxin! Stop talking about the Four Saints demonstrating the Dharma! The Buddha's Seal! The Great Enlightenment of Vajrayana...! None of that matters. What matters is the urgency of time! If we keep listening to your explanations, Brother Wu Tianjiao will probably be riddled with holes!"

Wang Pangzi, who was walking at the front of the group, was multitasking. He was cursing and swearing, but he didn't dare to stop moving his feet for a moment!

Ah Ning, standing in the crowd, looked at Master Yuanxin beside her with some doubt. Although she didn't have any special feelings for Wu Tianjiao, he was, after all, a descendant of the guardian of the "Heavenly Silk Kasaya." If she were to let him lose his life here!

So this mission that he and Yuanxin were to reach the Great Xia Federation has ended in complete failure! Besides, Wu Tianjiao is now a member of the First Expedition Team. Although the Jude Kao Company often does some shady business, the trust between teammates is still very valuable!

I sensed the doubts of the crowd!

Master Yuanxin simply smiled slightly, not rushing to defend himself, and continued to explain something to himself:

"This humble monk is not talented and calls himself Yuanxin! I'm sure you are all very confused as to why I took out a 'wooden fish' to strike for Benefactor Qin's 'funeral'. Actually, you all have a misunderstanding!"

Wu Xie, standing in the crowd, couldn't hold back any longer and instinctively spoke up to tease:
