The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

I didn't even look at it, I just casually smelled it.

“These are all dead skins shed by King Lu Shang. Judging by the amount of dead skin, they may have been shed five or six times.”

Wu Xie quickly threw away the scales in his hand, feeling nauseous.

"Look here."

"That's what the fat man said excitedly."

"do not move!"

Zhang Qi casually tossed his ancient sword, which struck the fat man's wrist with a sharp crack.

"What do you want to do? Are you trying to kill me?"

The fat man got up from the ground, clutching his wrist and wincing in pain.

"I wish I could just cut your head off to kill you. If you pull out that wire, a corpse will rise up inside immediately, and we'll all die here."

Zhang Qi said angrily.

This was an expression Wu Xie had never seen before.

In Wu Xie's memory, Zhang Qi's expression had always remained unchanged.

I never saw any emotion on his face.

This time, Wu Xie saw Zhang Qi's anger and overwhelming killing intent.

“If you say another word or cause any more trouble here, I’ll throw you down to feed those corpse beetles.”

Fang Yun said calmly.

Hearing Fang Yun say this, the fat man didn't dare to say a word.

The fat man had already figured it out: this group of people were completely subservient to Fang Yun and obeyed his every command.

Perhaps this guy in front of us really is capable of doing such a thing in this ancient tomb.

Thinking of this, the fat man could only wave his hand and take a few steps back.

"You all step back a little."

Fang Yun said calmly.

"let me."

Zhang Qi's gaze was firm.

Fang Yun thought for a moment, then stepped aside.

Without saying a word, Zhang Qi rushed forward.

A cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes, before anyone could see Zhang Qi's movement clearly.

Then, a hand was seen gripping the corpse's neck tightly, pulling him out of the coffin.

The corpse let out a scream and began to tremble uncontrollably.

It all happened so fast that no one had time to react.

Zhang Qi stared coldly at the corpse.

"You've lived long enough, now die!"

The veins on Zhang Qi's hands bulged, and the sound of bones cracking filled the air; the corpse's limbs trembled uncontrollably. 7

The next second, the corpse's skin instantly turned black.

Zhang Qi threw the corpse to the ground, as if this legendary jade terracotta warrior was nothing more than a pile of trash in his eyes.

Or rather, it's not even worth as much as garbage; it's utterly beneath our notice. 5

"Who exactly are you? Why do you harbor such deep resentment towards King Lu Shang?"

Wu Xie shouted.

"What good will it do to know? What good will it do to not know? Some things are not for you to inquire about."

Zhang Qi said coldly.

"If you are really curious, there is a purple jade box behind you."

Chapter 244 The Secret of King Lu Shang! Becoming part of the dowry!

After saying this, Zhang Qi collapsed to the ground as if he had lost all his strength.

The group went to the location Zhang Qi had indicated.

There really was a purple jade box.

This purple jade is amethyst.

These things are usually carved into small objects as amulets; very few people use them to make a box.

Moreover, the box looks like it was carved from a single piece of amethyst.

But what's strange is that there are no patterns engraved on the box.

The only difference was that a gold trim was added to the edge of the lid.

The box was placed where the pillow would be.

You should know that jade pillows were already the highest level of equipment for the emperor, but this purple jade was far superior to the standard of jade pillows—it was even more impressive than the emperor himself.

Wu Xie carefully took out the purple jade box and placed it on the ground.

The group discovered that the box had no lock. Upon opening it, they found a roll of gold-inlaid yellow silk inside.

Because this silk was inlaid with gold thread, it has been very well preserved despite the passage of time.

It looks brand new.

Wu Xie unfolded it and saw that the left side had a line written on it: 'The Book of the Underworld King'.

Next to this line are countless tiny characters.

Fatty and Panzi had absolutely no interest in the silk scroll.

He turned around and went to examine the jade figurine that Zhang Qi had thrown on the ground.

Zhang Qi stared blankly at the corpse of King Lu Shang.

……

"Wu Xie, how much of what's written on this silk scroll can you understand?"

Uncle Wu asked.

"There are a few parts that I can roughly understand."

Wu Xie said.

When King Lu Shang was twenty-five years old, he inherited his father's official position.

The so-called succession to an official position actually meant excavating ancient tombs for the army of the State of Lu.

They used the gold and silver treasures from ancient tombs to pay their troops and then marched the army.

To put it nicely, this position is a minor official post.

To put it bluntly, he's a tomb raider.

The King of Lu simply had King Shang of Lu rob his tomb.

By chance, he entered a tomb whose age he did not know.

However, there was only one coffin in the tomb.

When King Lu Shang approached, he saw that there was a giant snake inside the coffin.

King Lu Shang was quite bold; seeing the giant snake motionless, he went up and chopped it down with a single stroke.

He even ordered his men to cut open the snake's belly, but unexpectedly, a purple-gold box fell out of the snake's stomach.

King Lu Shang didn't think much of it at the time, so he took the box back with him.

At night, King Lu Shang had a dream in which an old man with a white beard asked him why he had killed him.

King Lu Shang was bloodthirsty by nature, and he was shocked to hear the white-haired old man questioning him like this.

He also nonchalantly said that he could kill whoever he wanted.

Who can control him?

Suddenly, the old man transformed into a giant snake. King Lu Shang looked closely and realized that this was the same giant snake he had seen in the ancient tomb.

The giant serpent had no idea that King Lu Shang was so brave; in his dream, King Lu Shang wounded the serpent again with a single slash.

I was just about to learn more about that giant snake.

The giant serpent suddenly begged for mercy, saying that its physical body had been destroyed by King Lu Shang.

If the soul is destroyed now, then one will not be able to be reborn.

If his soul can be allowed to leave this place, he can be given two treasures, making him an outstanding person above all others.
