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

It is highly likely that the designers of the mausoleum intended to keep this bronze coffin sealed away forever. If the coffin lid were to be opened due to some unforeseen factor, an emergency plan would be activated to control the "big zombie" with a double array, ensuring that it would never leave this tomb of the Qin Empire!

This shows the deadly danger contained in the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation. The "Tomb Raider's Treasure Qiankun Compass Spoon" given by the system has lost its effect. It would be unwise to rush in now!

In Wu Tianjiao's eyes, Luo Weier, who had rushed into the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation alone, must have something amazing about him. Perhaps he could put on a wonderful show of mysterious movement and finally reach the destination he wanted to go to!

After all, no one wants to die in the formation for no reason!

However, when Luo Wei rushed into the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation Diagram, he would trigger a mechanism with every step he took!

The mechanisms hidden inside the Shoushan stones surrounding the main tomb chamber were triggered one after another!

Bronze arrows flew rapidly toward Lowell as he advanced!

"Instructor Luo! Lie down! Don't move!"

Wang Yueban almost shouted out loud, "Is this person completely reckless? He intends to use his mortal body to collide with a bronze arrow. Does he think he's the 'Iron Man' of the Great Eagle Empire?"

"Pfft!"

The bronze arrow mercilessly pierced Lowell's right shoulder, and blood dripped down the wound, leaving a bright red footprint on the bluestone floor!

However, Wang Yueban's voice trembled slightly:

"He's gone mad... He's gone mad... He's really gone mad!"

Despite being wounded by the bronze arrow, Lowell did not cry out in pain. Instead, he grinned widely and let out a series of strange, chattering laughs!

At the same time, they were speaking in a language that no one could understand!

Although Wu Xie and Wang Yueban couldn't quite understand what the other was saying!

However, Wu Tianjiao knew perfectly well that Luo Weier was actually talking about the blood-red seal characters engraved on General Chang Shiwan's forehead!

"Two, three, four, five... nine... no... the numbers are wrong! Let me calculate. After the first batch entered the main tomb chamber, five of the men I brought died, and this time two more died... five plus two equals seven..."

"So there are 3 left to reach 'ten'... There are currently four people in the main tomb chamber! And I can no longer be called a 'person', so that's exactly 'three'!"

Lowell muttered to himself but did not stop moving. With each step he took forward, an arrow pierced his back. However, Lowell seemed to feel no pain and continued to stumble forward. The moment he took his tenth step!

Lowell was backed by exactly ten bronze arrows!

Turning around, Lowell's mouth gaped open, and his faceless features made Wu Xie and Wang Yueban feel 'fear' for the first time:

"That's it! Everything makes sense! Death isn't scary; what's scary is the process of waiting for death!"

"I, Lowell, offer my life as a prayer to the ancient beings for 'karma'!"

"Floods have engulfed the land!"

"Flames engulf the flood!"

"The earth is enveloped in air!"

"The air is enveloped in flames!"

Lowell's voice was unusually hoarse, his mouth opened and closed erratically, and blood began to seep from his featureless cheeks. His body began to sway from side to side as he uttered his last words!

His legs buckled slightly, and he fell backward onto the bluestone floor!

This is a Libra trap, filled with countless barbed spears. Undeterred, it emitted eerie, chattering laughter as it plunged headlong into the sharp spears...

The body was completely pierced!

Inside the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire, Wu Tianjiao stood near the entrance of the tomb robber's hole, holding a jade human face statue in his hand, his eyes fixed on the front!

Wu Tianjiao knew that his body had been blessed by the Mountain Moving Taoist's Kui Xing Kick, and his eyesight was excellent, allowing him to clearly see the scene inside the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation Diagram!

When Luo Wei was hit by several bronze arrows, Wu Tianjiao knew that he no longer needed to rescue him, because one of the bronze arrows had directly pierced Luo Wei's tail!

The sharp bronze arrow pierced through the shoulder and emerged from the front of the right atrium of the chest!

Then, it wobbled and fell into the trap of the Qin Dynasty tomb, where it was pierced through by a series of barbed spears...

If I had to describe it in one sentence... it would be... an exceptionally tragic death!

However, Wu Tianjiao did not feel any joy at the other party's death.

First, during his walk, Lowell actually described the blood-red seal script characters on the forehead of "Chang Shiwan" inside the bronze coffin!

Chapter 274: Floods Engulf the Land! Flames Engulf the Flood!

Putting everything else aside, Wu Tianjiao was certain that no one could have opened the bronze coffin beforehand and removed General Chang Shiwan's helmet before he personally opened it!

So... how exactly did Lowell learn about General Chang Shiwan's "forehead inscription"?

When Wu Tianjiao first saw this blood-red seal script!

The first line is: two, three, four, five;

The second line is: Nine.

The horizontal scroll reads: North and South!

If you read these two couplets together, it's not hard to see that they are missing two numbers!

They are the characters "一" (one) and "十" (ten) respectively! Wu Tianjiao initially believed that General Chang Shiwan had "starved to death," but Luo Weier just expressed a completely different meaning!

These numbers, from one to ten, represent the number of people who died unexpectedly in the main burial chamber!

Wait a minute... Wu Tianjiao sensed something was wrong. According to his judgment, Wang Yueban lost more than twenty brothers when he first entered the tomb of the Wang Qin Empire. So why didn't Luo Weier include these people in the count?

Or perhaps, the ten people who died all had some special connection to each other.

Just as Wu Tianjiao was deep in thought, Wang Yueban, who was standing next to him, suddenly slumped to the ground, sighing heavily.

"Sigh... I'm not kidding, but this is really impossible to explain. There's no point in looking anymore. Lowell is definitely dead. Even if we bring the world's best medical team to the scene now... it won't help!"

Wang Yueban shook his head:

"This is utterly hopeless. We never imagined that coming to this tomb of the Qin Empire would result in us finding nothing in the main burial chamber, and our primary objective, the 'mutton fat jade,' has yielded absolutely no results! And yet, we've ended up like this..."

Hearing Wang Yueban's disheartening remarks beside him, Wu Xie opened his mouth, but after a long while, he could only offer a few words of comfort:

"Well... Wang Yueban, since it's already happened, there's nothing we can do. After all, the dead can't be brought back to life. As for why Lowell persecuted us, that's all in the past, and there's no point in us dwelling on it. Let's just tell everyone at the academy the truth about what happened here when we leave, so they can have an explanation!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueban abruptly raised his head, looking at Wu Xie in disbelief, his elbow raised to touch his forehead:

"My little naiveté, what's wrong with you? Did I hear that right? You're actually thinking of telling everyone at the academy about this? And then having them notify the disciplinary department? Putting everything else aside, let me ask you this: Lowell's facial features suddenly disappeared, and then he went mad and ran into the burial chamber, spouting nonsense about 'suicide.' Do you think... anyone would believe that?"

Wang Yueban stared intently at Wu Xie, then raised his hand and patted the other's shoulder:

"My little naiveté, there are some things that can't be explained clearly. I suggest we keep quiet. After all, we might run into an 'inspector' who's eager to solve the case and tries every means to investigate you. What will we do then?"

"According to my suggestion, let's forget everything that happened before and bury it deep in our hearts! Anyway, Aning, Master Yuanxin, Kong Zhengye, and everyone from the academy have all been convinced that Instructor Luo Weier 'disappeared' in the tomb of the Wang Qin Empire. Let's keep our mouths shut. In this whole world, only you, me, and him know!"

"In the end, I'm sure the scene we don't want to see won't happen!"

Wang Yueban's voice was deliberate and forceful, like a heavy hammer striking Wu Xie's heart. His expression shifted uncertainly. Could it be... that the news of "Lowell's" death was being concealed like this...?

Thinking of this, Wu Xie suddenly raised his head and looked at Wu Tianjiao in front of him, wanting to ask for his opinion!

Wang Yueban quickly reached out and patted Wu Xie's shoulder:

"Don't worry, Brother Tian is definitely a sensible person..."

But just then, Wu Tianjiao suddenly came to his senses and stared intently at Wu Xie and Wang Yueban with an extremely serious expression!

"Hey... my brother Wu Tianjiao, what are you doing? Why are you acting so fierce..."

Wang Yueban was startled by Wu Tianjiao's sudden turn around. He was unsure what Wu Tianjiao meant by this!

"Didn't you all hear what Lowell said in the Corpse Fiend Eight Trigrams Formation?"

Wang Yueban's face was somewhat embarrassed. He subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but a sharp pain suddenly shot through his mind:

"Hey! Wait... I think I forgot something... Lowell did say something earlier... Let me think..."

Wang Yueban's brows were tightly furrowed, as if he had forgotten some very important clue!

Wu Xie's expression changed, and he quickly took out a green hexagonal bell from his pocket!

Wu Xie weighed the object in his hand and began to explain softly:

"This bronze bell is called a hexagonal bronze bell. Its function is very mysterious, but what's most special is this!"

As Wu Xie spoke, he took out another one from his pocket—a copper coin bracelet—and then threaded the bracelet into the clasp of the bronze bell.

These are coins from the tombs of the Five Emperors in history!

The Five Emperor Coins refer to the copper coins of five emperors in history: Zhi, Xi, Zheng, Long, and Qing. They are said to have the effects of warding off evil spirits, protecting against villains, dispelling evil, and bringing wealth!

Girls can string five-emperor coins together with a red thread and hang them on their bags to carry with them for protection against evil spirits. However, five-emperor coins used as burial goods are considered unlucky as they are believed to steal a person's fortune.

A crisp metallic clang echoed among the three. Wang Yueban, who had been at a loss, suddenly clapped his hands, as if he had suddenly had a flash of inspiration:

"Hey! I finally remember what 'Lowell' said at the end: 'Floods covered the earth! Fire covered the floods! Earth covered the air! Air covered the fire...'"

"That's not right..."

Wang Yueban looked at the hexagonal bell in Wu Xie's hand and subconsciously spoke:

"Wu Xie, why are you still carrying this on you? Didn't I tell you before to hide it well? And the Five Emperors Coins from the Tomb, where did you get these? I don't remember you having these when we were 'raiding tombs' before!"

"Hey, little naiveté... don't get fooled by those antique dealers! I'm not bragging, but these kinds of sales pitches used to be my specialty!"

Chapter 275: My fate is absolutely strong, my birth chart is incredibly auspicious!

Wang Yueban spread his palms out and counted on his fingers the tricks he had used to deceive people:
