The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Now, even if Daheitian can't suppress the power of the crystal tremor and causes it to erupt, it won't affect them too much.

This place is deep underground, and the rock layers are very solid, so it is not easy to collapse.

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

The rocky path was very long, and it took the four of them a full two minutes to run out of it.

".|City wall?"

Partridge Whistle held a phosphorescent tube and peered forward.

Before the four of them stood a massive city wall made entirely of huge stones, with a low doorway at its base.

The archway was only about two meters high and had no door, making it look quite out of place on this massive city wall.

On the wall next to the doorway, there was a human eye carved, but it was carved in the shape of dripping blood, which looked very eerie.

"So this is where it is... Searching..."

Upon seeing the drop of blood in the human eye, Fang Yun's face showed a look of understanding.

He remembered where he was.

This is a secret location in the Demon Kingdom, used to select the Demon Mother.

Of course... only women who awaken the Demon Eye can become the Demon Mother, but the Demon Eye cannot be awakened at will. No matter how much the Demon Kingdom experiments or how many eye-opening ceremonies are held through sacrifices, it is useless.

Therefore... there is only one fate for those candidates for the Ghost Mother: death, and a gruesome one at that.

To the higher-ups of the Demon Kingdom, since those girls had not awakened the power of the Demon Eye, they were incomplete, not recognized by the Serpent God, and did not even qualify to become sacrifices. They would all be tortured to death here.

Chapter 143 The Black Serpent Tide, the Serpent King!

"This is not the Muchen Pearl, it's just an ordinary human eye."

"But this person's eyes are dripping blood... could it be another trap or mechanism?"

Partridge Whistle's eyes flickered as he looked at the wall beside the doorway for a moment before hesitatingly saying something.

This blood-red eye mark is somewhat like the closed-eye mechanism mark before the White Crystal Tunnel, perhaps indicating that something bloody is hidden here.

"Senior brother, this wall blocks the entire cave. We have no choice but to leave."

The old foreigner glanced at the rocky path behind him, a look of hesitation on his face.

Even after walking so far, he could still hear the sounds of landslides and crystal shattering coming from the rocky path behind him. Turning back would inevitably lead to another landslide, and there was no way to retreat at this point.

“The old foreigner is right. Going back the way we came is definitely not an option. We can’t dig through those collapsed mine shafts... Besides, Daheitian lives in the crystal vein. We have no chance of winning against something like that.”

"No matter what strange things are involved, we have to take the plunge."

Fang Yun shook his head, abandoning the idea of ​​returning the way he came.

Even if the Great Darkness could still suppress the power of the Crystal Tremor and was willing to let them pass, they still wouldn't be able to dig a way back.

"Let's go, let's get out of here as soon as possible."

After greeting the three of them, Fang Yun led the way into the doorway.

As you approach the doorway, you can still smell a fishy odor emanating from it, and there are some slime and silver scales left on the walls.

This suggests that the Silver Giant Salamanders that extinguished the lights had been here before, and perhaps the earliest Silver Giant Salamanders were specially raised by the Demon Kingdom people to dispose of corpses.

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

After passing through the gate in the city wall, the view suddenly opened up.

Behind the massive city walls lies a vast underground canyon, utterly dark and devoid of any light.

The canyon is extremely long, stretching as far as the eye can see, which makes it feel very oppressive.

"There is no description of this place in the Tibetan scriptures or the Epic of King Gesar."

"This place looks like a natural underground canyon, but since the Demon Kingdom has built walls here, there must be something very important in the canyon."

Partridge Whistle, carrying a phosphorescent tube, walked at the front of the group, his face full of solemnity.

There is no record of this place, not even in the sacrificial temple in Eroha City.

It is easy to imagine how important this place is to the Demon Kingdom; it must hold a great secret that even the people of the Demon Kingdom are unwilling to record in history.

After walking for about a hundred meters, the group of four passed through a bend in a canyon.

The canyon before us is filled with fossils, some enormous and crisscrossing, some larger than houses and others larger than human skeletons.

Standing before these fossil sites, humans appear as insignificant as ants.

The fossils close to the cliff face have become one with the cliff, and can only be identified from the skeletons as once enormous living creatures.

"its not right!"

At this moment, the old foreigner exclaimed in surprise, pointing at the fossils and saying:

"This is a fish...this is a beast...aren't the people of the Demon Kingdom worshipping the snake god? Why aren't there any snake bones here?"

These fossils all have large ribs and small bodies, just like the keel of a wooden boat.

Although the appearance of these fossils makes it impossible to fully identify the original bodies of the fossils, it is certain that these are not snake bones.

"This is a natural canyon. Perhaps the Demon Kingdom just found this place by accident and regarded it as a secret place."

"We just need to find a way out of the mountains...!"

Partridge Whistle turned around and explained to the old foreigner, but he was stunned when he was only halfway through his explanation.

All three noticed Partridge Whistle's expression and looked back.

They had just passed a bend in a canyon, where on the cliff face stood a huge black stone statue.

The black colossal statue glowed with scattered light, its back to them, its face and both arms embedded in the cliff face, as if it were peering into the mountainside.

Strangely, the black colossus had no markings on its body, and looked like a naturally formed humanoid boulder.

However, upon closer inspection, one can sense from the outline of the black colossus that there is no distinction between front and back, nor between the abdomen and the back; the front and back are identical.

Moreover, the black giant only had an upper body, with its waist connected to the ground. At the point where the waist and ground connected, there was a doorway three or four meters high.

The doorway was clearly man-made, with several collapsed stone pillars leaning outwards from the opening.

“Brother Fang…this black colossus might be the true form of Mahakala.”

After observing the black colossus for a moment, Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up with excitement.

Whether it's the Tibetan scriptures, the Epic of King Gesar, or the painted human skin in the sacrificial temple, this black shadow appears on them. This black shadow represents Mahakala.

"Hmm, let's go take a look. Maybe there's an exit hidden inside."

Fang Yun nodded and led the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, directly toward the doorway on the black giant statue.

All he remembered was that this was the site of the bloodshed of the candidate Ghost Mother, and that there were many holes dug out by the Snow Serpents in the canyon. As for the rest... he had no recollection of it at all.

Upon approaching the black colossus, the four noticed that not only the doorway but also the ground beside it was littered with numerous stone pillars.

Most of the stone pillars were buried underground, and some obvious patterns could still be seen on the exposed parts. The patterns were all in the shape of eyeballs, but they did not look like Muchen Pearls. Instead, they looked like ghost eye marks.

These ghost eye marks all have one thing in common: they are engraved with blood and tears, giving people an extremely unsettling feeling.

However, since all four had decided to go inside and explore, they didn't linger outside the doorway and stepped inside after a brief inspection.

The interior of this black colossus resembled a cave, with passages that appeared to be naturally formed, except that the passages were covered with blood-red eye marks.

"Hiss... hiss... hiss..."

As soon as the group of four entered the doorway at the waist of the black giant statue, a dense hissing sound of snakes flicking their tongues echoed behind them.

The hissing sounds grew louder and more frequent, as if countless snakes were flicking their tongues, and they were getting closer and closer to the group of four.

Upon hearing these sudden sounds, the four men's expressions all changed.

They are no longer sacrifices to the Serpent God. If they were to encounter the Black Serpent Army of the Demon Kingdom, a fierce battle would be inevitable.

Fang Yun suddenly turned around and looked out of the doorway.

Night Vision pierced the darkness, revealing the scene within at a glance.

Countless black snakes resembling the Pure Vision Āgama crawled out from the mountain crevices and deep valleys, heading towards the group of four.

The number was countless; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was a wave composed of black snakes.

At the very front of the black snake swarm, there was an enormous black snake, about thirty meters long, with a body thicker than a cartwheel.

It is obvious that this Pure Vision Āgama is the snake king of this generation of black snakes.

Chapter 144 Strange Phenomenon: Snow Serpent Raising Snakes!

"A swarm of snakes!"

Although the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his brother, could not see the scene in the darkness, they could still make out the general idea. With such a dense hissing sound, the number of black snakes must be considerable.

The next moment, all three of them looked at Fang Yun.

With so many black snakes, it's impossible to fight your way through this canyon.

But Fang Yun's precious blood... can repel insects and ward off evil spirits!

Seeing that the three of them were looking at him nervously, Fang Yun understood what they were thinking and nodded, saying:

“My blood should be enough to stop them, but just in case, let’s seal the entrance.”
