In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Moreover, their own strength is far inferior to that of the bronze-armored warriors. After all, they have been dried for two thousand years, and apart from the power of the meteorite copper they absorbed, their bodies are completely dried out.

Therefore, they were completely countered by the bronze-armored samurai empowered by the Dragon Balls.

The second level, or rather the second secret chamber behind the bronze door, is an altar.

Just like the altar on the blue stone gate, it is surrounded by four nine-headed serpents as guardians. In the center of the altar is a circular stone platform. The object used for sacrifice or to open the altar is that very token.

After all, this was prepared for which Great Zhou emperor?

Therefore, everyone's gaze turned to Zhang Xiaoshan once again—

Dragon Ball!

Previously, Zhang Xiaoshan had activated the power of the Dragon Ball to open the entrance to this forbidden area.

In that case, this can naturally be used to open the altar.

But Zhang Xiaoshan sensed something was wrong, or rather, everything was going too smoothly, completely different from the danger he had imagined.

Knowing that once he passed this hurdle, he could find the main tomb chamber of the Queen Mother of the West, or rather, the place where she once refined the elixir of immortality and mysterious treasures. It was likely much easier to find than the underground palace within Ping Mountain, giving him an extremely surreal feeling...

However, although Zhang Xiaoshan's mind was racing, his hands did not stop. He directly activated the power of the Dragon Ball and poured it into the stone platform.

Instantly, the entire altar began to shake, and slowly opened, with yin and yang as the dividing line.

"Quickly retreat!!"

The moment the altar opened, a foul stench filled the air, and Zhang Xiaoshan's figure was suddenly forced back.

However, a dark shadow had already chased after them. The enormous creature moved with lightning speed. Just as Zhang Xiaoshan retreated to the side, the figure of a black-armored giant blocked the monster's path.

boom!

With a loud bang, followed by a sharp, grating sound that seemed to rupture eardrums, everyone covered their ears.

The moment they looked up, they witnessed a scene they would never believe in their entire lives.

But when the altar opened, two enormous red and black pythons, each as thick as a water vat, shot out.

The black snake's head was held aloft by the black-armored giant. In the previous collision, the black-armored giant's feet were off the ground, and he slid a full ten feet across the ground before he could dissipate the giant python's impact.

The other red snake head was held up by a bronze-armored warrior, without disturbing its form in the slightest.

Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe their eyes as they looked at Zhang Xiaoshan and the two bronze-armored warriors, especially at the snake's body, which was as thick as a water vat.

Judging solely from their size, the two enormous snake heads resembled a horse-drawn carriage.

The impact was so strong that even a top-tier expert could be killed instantly.

However, the two bronze-armored warriors managed to withstand the impact of the two snake heads solely through their own strength.

"They are a two-headed snake!"

Suddenly, Princess Taiping frowned, revealing a look of worry.

Two-headed snake?

The Kingdom of the Queen Mother of the West worships the nine-headed serpent and the nine-headed bird, with nine representing the ultimate number, symbolizing the heavens.

Moreover, these multi-headed snakes are terrifyingly ferocious, their attacks far more domineering and terrifying than those of ordinary snakes. As a result, the snake bodies that slowly emerge are much larger than the necks under the snake heads.

Even everyone else was stunned!

Especially the ferocious and terrifying snake head, staring at the crowd with bloodlust and greed.

"Young master, what's going on?"

"Naturally, without any token, we can't get past this hurdle. We can only slaughter this beast first."

Looking at the two-headed snake, Zhang Xiaoshan's eyes held a hidden murderous intent.

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan's sword energy had already condensed in his hand, and he swung it out.

The snake head, which was fighting with the two warriors, suddenly sensed a deadly danger and hurriedly tried to retreat.

However, the two bronze-armored warriors were puppets controlled by Zhang Xiaoshan, each dragging a snake head. Even in the briefest moment of delay, they had already struck with their blades.

Amidst the vast universe, a blade of light, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, flashed by in an instant.

Then, without exception, the two enormous snake heads became headless snakes!

Princess Taiping and the others stared at the snake's head, its eyes wide open in death. How could such an invincible creature be killed with a single blow?

They would never have believed it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes.

Then Zhang Xiaoshan took out a snake gallbladder from the snake, which was the size of two adult fists.

This is absolutely a treasure for replenishing qi and blood, improving eyesight, and detoxifying!

"Young master, what should we do now?"

Chapter 441 The Queen Mother of the West? Princess Taiping?

"Sir, what should we do now?"

Princess Taiping stared at the two enormous, imposing figures, one in gold and one in black, beside Zhang Xiaoshan.

She hadn't felt much of the overwhelming force she had just overcome.

After all, those mummies are stiff and look completely rotten and decayed. They would fall apart if they were hit. What strength could they possibly have?

But now these two puppets are displaying terrifying and unparalleled power.

Even Princess Taiping felt a strange tremor as she faced the direct impact of the two-headed willow branches.

Given that no one had noticed his elusive figure earlier, if Zhang Xiaoshan hadn't summoned him, who would have imagined that such a terrifying guard was lurking in the shadows beside Zhang Xiaoshan?

Thinking of Zhang Xiaoshan, who seems to be all alone, what if someone took him as someone to be bullied at will?

It's likely that even with a million-strong army, Zhang Xiaoshan wouldn't need to lift a finger; his general would have been killed in the front lines.

Zhang Xiaoshan's hidden strength is far more terrifying than they imagined.

Otherwise, without Zhang Xiaoshan's intervention, all of them would have perished in the bellies of those two snakes.

That was a terrifying monster that no human could possibly contend with.

At the same time, Princess Taiping also thought of the evil dragon that Zhang Xiaoshan had kept, which was a terrifying existence.

"Boss Lei, are you confident?"

Zhang Xiaoshan looked around and saw that there were eight walls, plus the passageway, making a total of nine walls.

Although the wall is no more than two zhang high, the murals around it are an extremely magnificent and epic painting.

As for the above?

Zhang Xiaoshan showed a hint of doubt, but still shook his head.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan could sense the lurking danger within the eight walls, which must conceal immense peril.

Confused, he couldn't help but look at Lei Laowu!

The elites originally invited have become mere bystanders along the way. Zhang Xiaoshan is also curious about everyone's abilities, wondering if they are as mysterious as the legends say, or if they are simply tomb raiders.

"It's best if you, young master, make the decisions here."

For ordinary royal tombs, the principles are generally followed, either forward or backward, based on the Eight Trigrams, Five Elements, and Yin and Yang. The fundamental principles remain the same, which is the study of Feng Shui.

Kings, nobles, generals, and ministers are most particular about these things.

Otherwise, just find any mass grave; it doesn't matter where you bury them.

But here, the young master is most familiar with this mysterious magnetic field of power, something that our feng shui techniques cannot fathom.

Lei Laowu is one of the core members of the Zhang family and is extremely clear about the power of the Dragon Ball and the Bronze Jade Pendant.

The area above is an extremely inauspicious place where Yin and Yang are reversed and the Five Elements are in conflict. Not to mention the mysteries hidden here, and who knows how many tricks they have prepared for them!

Rather than let them fall into a trap, they might as well follow Zhang Xiaoshan and charge headlong into the trap.

Moreover, Zhang Xiaoshan even brought out the Five Poisons, so he had a vague idea of ​​Zhang Xiaoshan's true trump card.

Here, the bronze-armored warriors also face extreme restrictions.

"That's right. The tomb where the bronze jade was last time was an extremely dangerous place, and this place is even more dangerous than the last tomb."

We will follow your orders, young master.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head. Although he didn't make things difficult for the others, he said solemnly:

"Although I can break through the effects of this magnetic field, I have absolutely no experience in tomb raiding."

As for choosing for you? Everyone has their own expertise, and you should have confidence in yourselves. Last time you were able to obtain the meteorite bronze, it wasn't luck, it was skill!

Even luck is a form of ability!

Therefore, Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Lei Laowu and nodded seriously.

"In that case, everyone, let's discuss everything."

Chen Jiuzhong and the Dragon-Slaying Taoist nodded in agreement. They knew that only one of the eight stone walls was a path to life, while the others were dead ends.

However, with Zhang Xiaoshan around, they weren't worried about them all really dying out.

After all, even the two-headed snake couldn't withstand a single blow from Zhang Xiaoshan.

"To find the dragon vein and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains; each winding mountain is a barrier; if there are eight layers of danger at the gate, it will not deviate from the shape of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams..."

Watching their actions, Zhang Xiaoshan suddenly had an idea.

However, beneath the altar lies an underground water vein. Previously, he had not been able to sense the traces of the evil dragon, but now Zhang Xiaoshan could vaguely sense its approach through the dragon pearl.

This was also because the evil dragon sensed Zhang Xiaoshan's presence and slowly approached him.

However, Zhang Xiaoshan couldn't just summon the evil dragon like that.

Now that the bronze-armored warrior has been exposed, and with the evil dragon as his ultimate trump card, how could Zhang Xiaoshan easily reveal his own trump card?

Compared to the two-headed serpent, the evil dragon has more than just a size advantage. In terms of strength, the evil dragon can completely contend with a super master at the Grandmaster level, and is even more domineering.

Although the evil dragon is already a cartilaginous creature, its body, enhanced by dragon blood, is far superior to its previous black armor.

"Nine bends and twists, mountains interlock, a dragon's lair, where form departs and returns to its true nature."

"Young master, this is the gate of life."

The Gate of Life!

Zhang Xiaoshan looked in the direction Lei Laowu pointed. Although he had some doubts, he was also highly skilled and daring, not to mention that there was a wicked dragon under the water vein.

Moreover, Lei Laowu is undoubtedly a professional in this area.

Even though the place was affected by a mysterious magnetic field, Zhang Xiaoshan still trusted Lei Laowu, who was professional and experienced.

It's important to understand that Zhang Xiao was trapped on the mountaintop, but Lei Laowu was risking his life.

With one hand braced against the wall, to everyone's astonishment, a thick and massive wall was slowly pushed open, emitting a dull, heavy thud.

After pushing it open by about 10 feet, the space behind it suddenly opened up, revealing another passageway.

"Let's go!"

Everyone looked at the passageway and quickly followed Zhang Xiaoshan inside.

Perhaps the Queen Mother of the West was too confident in herself, because there were no traps or mechanisms in the tomb passage, and the group went straight to the main burial chamber of the final level.

It is yet another sacrificial altar.

However, compared to the altars encountered before, this altar occupies an area of ​​more than ten zhang in circumference. It is protected by nine-headed willow trees on all four sides, and a bronze coffin is placed in the middle. The pools surrounding the altar are filled with a mysterious and enchanting red flower.

"The other side of the flower!"

"The other shore flower?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's surprise and looking at the mysterious red flower in front of them, everyone couldn't help but show a hint of apprehension.

The Rebirth Flower in the Lotus Sutra is a legendary flower that grows on the banks of the Yellow Springs River, a symbol of hell.

And why are there spider lilies in the tomb of the Queen Mother of the West?

After all, the term "red spider lily" appears in the Lotus Sutra and is one of the "four flowers" in Buddhism, at a time when Buddhism had not yet spread to the Central Plains.

As for the flower of hell?

It is just a legend that arose after the Great Zhou Dynasty split apart and Buddhism flourished.
