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

Inside the main tomb of the Qin Empire, Wu Xie was stunned when he heard Wang Yueban say this. He stared blankly at the fat Wang in front of him and blurted out something unconsciously.

"What did you just say? A knocking sound? I'm telling you, Fatty Wang, we can't scare people like that. There's clearly nothing strange here except the three of us..."

"Speaking of which, where else could the 'knocking' sound come from... Wang Yueban, let me make this clear: if you repeat the cat-like meowing sound from the main tomb passage and attract the sheep-bodied, human-faced roe deer, I... I'm done with you!!"

Wu Xie's eyes widened, and his tone was somewhat serious. He was finally convinced by Wang Yueban in front of him, who always liked to make a big fuss and scare people for no reason!

"Hey! My little naiveté, how could you not believe me, Fatty!"

Wang Yueban's expression was somewhat strange. He held up one finger, signaling Wu Tianjiao and Wu Xie to be quiet, and muttered under his breath:

"I, Fatty, have roamed the ancient tombs for eighteen years. The reason I'm still alive today is because of the tomb raiding techniques left behind by the tomb raiders: geomancy and burial site location, as well as the four unique methods of observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation! All of you, be quiet... Shh... Let Fatty listen carefully!"

At this point, Wang Yueban suddenly leaned down onto the bluestone floor, gently pressed his ear against the surface of the stone, closed his eyes, and tried to feel it with his heart!

"Hey! Here it comes again... Strange... Why does this sound like a 'thump-thump' heartbeat... But it doesn't seem like it... Oh well... It's probably just the rhythmic thumping of heavy objects... Hey... This is really weird..."

Upon hearing Wang Yueban's mutterings, Wu Tianjiao immediately turned his gaze to the bronze coffin in the main burial chamber. His eyes widened in shock. Where was he? How could he have vanished!

Wu Tianjiao previously used the phosphorescent tube of the Tomb Raider General in combination with the soft corpse incense, inserting it into "Chang Shiwan's" throat to temporarily put the opponent in a restricted state!

But in just a short while, after his attention was drawn to "Lowell," the other party vanished without a trace? How could that be?

Wu Tianjiao harbored doubts in his heart, because one of the opponent's legs was a bronze prosthetic; no matter what, if it moved, this "giant zombie" would definitely make a sound...

But the unusual scene before him made Wu Tianjiao's heart start to beat faster and faster, and the whole thing became increasingly bizarre!

Chang Shiwan transformed from a coffin into a giant rice dumpling!

Lowell, wearing a mask, committed suicide under mysterious circumstances!

Then came the silent disappearance...

The two things seemed to have absolutely nothing to do with each other, which made Wu Tianjiao frown deeply!

He felt like he had overlooked something!

“Missing…” Lowell…

In an instant, Wu Tianjiao recalled the key point: when he first walked to the stone platform in the main tomb chamber, he saw Luo Weier right in front of him, but he disappeared after only three breaths!

Could it be that...

But at that moment, Wang Yue's expression, as she lay prone on the ground, became somewhat strange:

"Hey...something's not right...why is that weird knocking getting closer...?"

Wu Tianjiao's pupils contracted, and he roared:

"careful!"

The voice was like a booming bell, so loud that it made Wang Yueban and Wu Xie feel dizzy and disoriented, before they could make any further moves!

Wu Tianjiao took a step forward, his body shooting towards the two behind him, and with a wave of his hand, he knocked both of them to the ground at the same time.

"Oh my god! Brother Tian, ​​are you trying to 'murder' me? Even if I, Fatty, have thick skin, I can't withstand this kind of treatment!"

However, before Wang Yueban could finish speaking, a pair of sharp claws suddenly emerged from the entrance of the tunnel behind him!

Under the glowing green flames, it was clear that these were human hands, except that the fingernails were inverted triangular and jet black, and faint green hairs were growing from the finger bones!

The incident happened so suddenly that Wu Tianjiao didn't have time to think. His spinal cord cracked and popped, and a surge of powerful force suddenly erupted. His hand moved with lightning speed, grabbing the other person's wrist and pulling it downwards forcefully.

Inside the pitch-black tomb, a pair of scarlet pupils suddenly opened, and a desolate roar resounded!

"Noisy!"

Immediately afterward, Wu Tianjiao threw another punch, which struck the dark tomb passage. A hard, cold sensation came from the spot where his left hand touched the ground!

Wu Tianjiao's lips curled into a cold smile. He stomped his foot heavily on the bluestone floor and twisted his waist to kick out three times in succession!

Each bombardment produced a clear booming sound of heavy objects being struck, emanating from deep within the tomb!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Wu Tianjiao spat out a mouthful of saliva, then threw a punch that struck Chang Shiwan's cheek. He reached into his robes, took out 763 Corpse-Fixing Pills, and fed them to the other man.

His other hand wasn't idle either; it reached directly for the phosphorescent tube of the Tomb Raider General at his waist and refilled it with the Soft Corpse Incense!

The next instant, wisps of green smoke rose up and enveloped Chang Shiwan's body!

The previously agitated noises instantly stopped, and the entire main burial chamber returned to calm!

"Cough cough... That was really dangerous. If I hadn't reacted in time, I probably would have been ambushed by this 'big zombie' behind me!"

As Wang Yueban spoke, he patted his chest. He walked over to Wu Tianjiao and looked him up and down.

"Hey! Um... Brother Tian, ​​you're pretty good! You managed to subdue this ferocious 'big zombie'!"

After Wang Yueban finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the bluestone floor. He saw that Chang Shiwan, who had initially been lying in the bronze coffin, was now lying motionless on the floor, clearly immobilized by some special method used by Wu Tianjiao!

"Sigh... I'm not trying to be mean, but next time you make a move, could you please be a little smaller? Chang Shiwan is wearing the armor of a general from the Qin Dynasty. Such attire is extremely rare and priceless! Look at it now, it's almost tattered and has lost its original 'glory.' Even if I, Fatty, were to strip it off and put it on the auction market, I doubt anyone would believe it's real!"

Wang Yueban shook his head and sighed repeatedly.

Chapter 278: Ancient Relics, Blood Jade of the Witch God

However, Wu Xie ignored Wang Yueban and quickly walked to Chang Shiwan's forehead, carefully examining it for a moment before his expression turned serious:

"Wang Yueban...we're probably in deep trouble this time...what Luo Weier said is probably true!"

"Look, Chang Shiwan's head really is tattooed with 'blood-red seal script'... two, three, four, five... nine... and north and south...!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueban narrowed his eyes, but a meaningful smile appeared on his lips:

"Hehe~ My little naiveté... This is a rare opportunity! Do you remember the description we saw before!"

[The sound of a rooster crowing makes one shrink away]

On the Shoushan stone floor of the main tomb chamber of the Qin Dynasty, Wu Tianjiao's lips twitched. This Wang Yueban was spouting some incomprehensible nonsense again:

"First, they mentioned some strange 'knocking' noise. If I hadn't reacted quickly and connected the 'ghost' with Chang Shiwan, my mission would have failed instantly, given how ferocious this giant zongzi was. It could have easily grazed Wang Yueban or Wu Xie. After all, Wu Tianjiao had learned about it on Blue Star before. Mutated 'zongzi' carry 'germs' that are far more or less different from those of humans!"

"Just like Wang Yueban said, although it's not like the 'science fiction' T-virus that turns you into a 'zombie' if you get infected, if it's not treated in time, it's common for the wound to become inflamed and ooze pus. People with weaker constitutions and lower resistance will probably die before they can even be rescued!"

Wu Tianjiao hesitated for a moment before getting up after looking at "Chang Shiwan" who was pinned down and unable to move. After all, the distance was too close, and the other party could clearly smell the "strange smell" on him. This smell was very strange and was not purely "fishy"!

If you savor it carefully, you might even get a "durian" illusion! After all, once you get used to the smell, your brain will subconsciously transform the "pungent smell of durian" into the delicious flesh of the fruit, making you mistakenly think that the smell is "sweet"!

..

"Hey! Wu Tianjiao, be gentle, don't move too much! My dear Wu Tianjiao, don't damage this 1,500-year-old 'specimen'. If you examine this 'giant zombie' closely, it's more precious than most of the national treasures of the Great Xia Federation!"

"Putting aside everything else about Fatty, if I could cut off one of his fingernails and sell it to a university for research, I'd definitely make a fortune!"

Wang Yueban looked pained. Chang Shiwan, who had been subdued by Wu Tianjiao, was once again subjected to inhuman treatment!

Although he can no longer be called a "human" and has transformed into a "zongzi" (rice dumpling), things must be treated differently, as these are all hard-earned money!

Wang Yueban couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement!

Wu Xie, who was standing to the side, squatted down and took out his phone from his pocket to take pictures of General Chang Shiwan's "remains"!

He meticulously copied and observed the other person's forehead! Those lines of blood-red seal script seemed to possess some kind of magic, attracting Wu Xie to immerse himself completely!

Upon seeing this, Wu Tianjiao raised his eyebrows slightly, but he still focused his attention on the mission information in his mind!

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

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

This task had been stuck in Wu Tianjiao's mind. He hadn't had the chance before, but now that this "big zongzi" had been delivered to his door, he had to find out the truth!

Otherwise, once Wu Tianjiao leaves this main tomb chamber, he has a vague feeling that he wants to come back, which is almost impossible!

Thinking of this, Wu Tianjiao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Fatty Wang beside him and spoke:

“Wang Yueban, didn’t you say before that as long as I, Aning, and Master Yuanxin accompanied you on a trip to the ‘Tomb of the Wang Qin Empire,’ you would come with us to explore the ‘Tomb of Jin Chanzi’? Now I think the time is almost right. If we don’t act quickly, once ‘Chang Shiwan’ wakes up again, I won’t be able to subdue him so easily. We only have one chance!”

Wu Tianjiao's expression was solemn. To be honest, he was also a little worried. After all, there was only Chang Shiwan's corpse here. If what Wang Yueban really wanted was inside the bronze coffin in the center of the stone platform in the main tomb chamber, it would be quite a hassle to go back!

"Hey! Look at what you're saying! My memory is terrible... Sorry, Brother Tian, ​​I was so focused on escaping that I forgot about the important matter. I did come to the 'Tomb of the Qin Empire' this time for that jade pendant!"

"However, since it was a 'dead end' before, Fatty didn't think too much about it. Now that I have an opportunity, let me give it a try!"

As Wang Yueban spoke, she quickly squatted down and reached into her backpack to pull out a black glove!

"Hey Wu Tianjiao, don't be surprised. Let me tell you, it's not because I'm a germaphobe, but because this giant zombie has become a zombie, and there are really some unpredictable factors involved. Wait for me a moment!"

As Wang Yueban spoke, he took out another candle from his backpack, carefully examined Chang Shiwan in front of him, and finally chose a direction:

"Since Wu Xie said that Chang Shiwan has the characters 'North and South' engraved on his forehead, I won't hesitate to choose the 'East and West' direction to determine the evil point!"

After saying that, Wang Yueban took out a lighter and placed a candle in the direction of what he called "thing"!

Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao opened his mouth helplessly. Was Wang Yueban trying to be funny? What... what are you trying to do? North is up, south is down, west is left, and east is right. This was the first time Wu Tianjiao had ever heard of a directional concept called "east and west"!

However, Wang Yueban placed the candle right in the center of Chang Shiwan's forehead!

A string of small, orange flames flickered and swayed with a "whoosh, whoosh" sound!

Just then, Wu Xie suddenly spoke up:

"Wangyue, when you mentioned 'shrinking at the sound of a rooster's crow,' were you referring to the legendary 'Phoenix Blood Jade Bracelet' from the Qin Empire? But that doesn't make sense. In my opinion, 'Phoenix Blood Stone' is actually a precious jade from the Great Xia Federation, also known as 'Chicken Blood Stone'! Did your earlier statement about 'shrinking at the sound of a rooster's crow' mean that the 'mutton fat blood jade' you have is actually made from 'chicken blood'? Used to intimidate Chang Shiwan in this bronze coffin?"

Chapter 279: With a pinch of two fingers, he deftly hooked it backward.

Wang Yueban's fingers froze on the spot, and he looked at Wu Xie in a daze:
