The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

As he spoke, Uncle Wu pulled several guns out of his backpack.

"This gun is obviously a foreign product, and it's extremely well-made. It seems that another group of tomb raiders has already perished here."

Pan Zi said.

"Who can say for sure? Even we few are completely lost here, let alone those greenhorns. We don't even know how far they'll go alive. But when I got to the tomb, there were only these guns scattered on the ground. I didn't see a single person. I suppose the corpses have long been devoured."

Uncle Wu said.

Just as the group was talking, a loud bang immediately put them on guard.

Wu Xie also staggered and bumped into the jade platform, which dented in the ground.

"No way, I shouldn't be that heavy, right? This jade platform looks like it can hold up, so how could it suddenly sink in?"

Wu Xie said, puzzled.

Wu Xie noticed that no one was paying attention to him, and that everyone's gazes were fixed on one spot.

Wu Xie turned his gaze in that direction.

A huge crack suddenly appeared in the middle of the original tree, and a coffin was found inside the crack.

The coffin was suspended in the air by several bronze chains.

……

"That's where the treasure of the entire ancient tomb is located."

Uncle Wu said excitedly.

"Look at this coffin, Uncle, we're going to make a fortune this time!"

Pan Zi said excitedly.

"You little brat, I already said this is a coffin, not a coffin."

Uncle Wu scolded.

"Don't you think King Lu Shang is a bit strange? He hid his coffin in such a hidden place and set up a mechanism like the jade platform, as if he wanted to put his coffin in the open and let others know about it. Isn't this situation a bit too strange?"

Wu Xie said.

Uncle Wu looked at Wu Xie and Pan Zi.

I was actually already impatient to get started.

With such a coffin placed here, there must be riches and honors waiting for him inside.

But then he recalled the strange events he had encountered along the way, including the disappearance of even the well-equipped tomb raiders.

The more Uncle Wu thought about it, the more bizarre it seemed, and he could only look at Fang Yun and Zhang Qi.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. You can open it slowly. Just don't have too much greed in your heart, and don't look around."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Hearing Fang Yun say this, Uncle Wu felt more at ease. Fang Yun was Uncle Wu's biggest reliance for this trip to the ancient tomb.

Ever since he witnessed Fang Yun kill a thousand-year-old rice dumpling with a single blow, Uncle Wu knew...

As long as Fang Yun is with you when you go down into the tomb, you will definitely not be in any danger to your life.

"As long as we're careful, nothing serious will happen. After we finish this job, we'll climb up the vines. These vines are natural stairs, so getting out won't be difficult."

Uncle Wu said.

"Third Uncle, have you lost your mind? Just now, those vines looked like they were devouring people. And look at the thousands of skeletons hanging on those vines. If you wanted to climb up those vines, wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, just throwing your life away?"

Pan Zi said.

"That's why I say your skills are still too shallow. I have a general understanding of this tree. It is called the Nine Heavens Serpent Cypress. How could someone who sets up such a grand scheme not think of an escape route? The stone used for the steps below is called Heavenly Heart Rock."

"This Heavenly Heart Rock is the best thing to counter the Nine Heavens Serpent Cypress. As long as we break a little of this Heavenly Heart Rock and apply it to our bodies, the Nine Heavens Serpent Cypress will not attack us."

Uncle Wu said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll give it a try first."

Pan Zi volunteered.

Holding the shovel in his hand, he forcefully shoveled off a piece of Tianxin Rock, then smashed it and smeared it on his hands.

Panzi touched the vines with his hands, but they were just like ordinary vines, without any change.

"Third Uncle, it really worked!"

Pan Zi said excitedly.

"Would your third uncle lie to you? 1.3 Then we should go open the coffin next."

Uncle Wu stared at the coffin in the distance.

"Zhang Qi, how are you?"

Wu Xie noticed that Zhang Qi looked somewhat haggard.

"Don't worry, go with your third uncle to open the coffin. He's just a little weak from losing too much blood. You don't need to worry about him."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Upon hearing that Zhang Qi was alright, Wu Xie felt relieved and followed his third uncle and the others forward.

The steps are carved with deer-headed cranes, not to mention how so many Tianxin Rocks were transported in.

This deer-headed crane is quite strange. This kind of relief is extremely rare. Wu Xie once saw a sentence or two in his grandfather's notes.

Such reliefs are too expensive for ordinary ancient tombs.

The scale of King Lu Shang's tomb was beyond Wu Xie's comprehension.

.......

Chapter 241 The Strange Coffin!

Not only had Wu Xie never seen an ancient tomb of this scale and style, but even Wu Sanshu and the others were amazed.

Ancient tombs built with such lavish investment.

It is no exaggeration to say that he is at least an emperor-type person.

Some kings and generals simply could not afford to build such a large tomb.

Firstly, even kings and generals do not have such financial resources, because behind every emperor lies the wealth of a nation.

Secondly, it's because emperors would never allow others to build tombs that are better than their own.

Wu Xie followed Uncle Wu and the others up the steps made of Tianxin Rock, one after another.

With each step, everyone was filled with awe at the intricately constructed steps made from Tianxin Rock.

It would take an immense amount of manpower and resources to transport all these stones in.

Moreover, it has remained so intact despite the changes of time.

This prompted everyone to sigh in admiration.

……

"Take this medicine; it will restore your vitality."

Fang Yun took out a pill and handed it to Zhang Qi.

Zhang Qi glanced at Fang Yun and silently accepted the pill.

Without hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.

"There's something wrong with this coffin. I don't know if I'm capable of suppressing it."

Zhang Qi looked at the coffin in the distance.

"Don't worry, just rest and recuperate here. I'll take care of anything that comes up later."

Fang Yun said calmly.

Zhang Qi nodded.

After spending some time together, Zhang Qi had realized that Fang Yun was no ordinary person.

To be able to know so many skills.

Zhang Qi vaguely sensed that Fang Yun's abilities far surpassed his own.

The two watched the crowd move forward from behind.

……

"Third Uncle, just what level of feudal lord is this King Lu Shang? This level of status is not something he could create."

Wu Xie asked.

"It's possible that this isn't the tomb created by King Lu Shang, but rather that he borrowed someone else's tomb. Didn't we mention before that there was a huge tomb robber's hole outside this tomb? It's possible that those people wanted to steal the treasures from the original tomb."

“There is another, more realistic possibility: that the tunnel was dug by King Lu Shang and his men, and his purpose was to enter the ancient tomb and make it his burial place.”

Uncle Wu made a terrifying conjecture.

At this moment, some people also walked up to the tree hole.
