Beyond that crack lay an underground space so vast it defied description.

You could even say it's a world that's been hollowed out.

Beneath their feet lay a precipice.

Beyond the cliff lies a vast, shimmering silver ocean.

That's not water.

That's mercury.

Tens of thousands of tons of mercury have accumulated to form this underground ocean, radiating a deadly yet alluring silver light in the darkness.

Above them, hundreds of meters high, are tens of thousands of enormous luminous pearls. They are arranged according to the positions of the Twenty-Eight Mansions, simulating the starry sky of the Qin Dynasty two thousand years ago.

The underground starry sky, the silver ocean.

This is the true face of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum!

"Oh My God......"

An agent muttered to himself, his legs buckling as he collapsed to his knees. "Is this something humans could create?"

This is simply a miracle!

Only God could create such a galaxy underground!

"Beep beep beep—"

The testing equipment emitted a piercing alarm.

"Report! Mercury vapor concentration in the air is lethal! Radiation levels exceed safe limits!"

The technicians' voices were trembling.

Strangely, although the instrument alarmed, the people present did not show any signs of poisoning except for feeling some chest tightness.

"It's the taste."

Jiang Han took a deep breath and said calmly, "Can you smell it? The smell of burning merman oil."

Only then did everyone notice that on either side of the cliff stood two rows of enormous bronze lamp-bearers. The lamps burned with eerie green flames and emitted a strange fragrance.

"The smoke produced by burning mermaid oil neutralizes the toxicity of mercury."

Jiang Han gazed at the silver sea, his eyes deep. "Here we go again! The First Emperor wants us to go in alive... or rather, to go in alive as sacrifices."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, a mournful wail rang out.

Suddenly, Qin Qifeng, with strength he seemed to possess from nowhere, broke free from the agents' support and dragged his broken leg to the edge of the cliff.

He kowtowed frantically towards the mercury-filled sea, his forehead slamming against the rocks, blood streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty, this humble subject pays his respects! This humble subject has brought back the 'key'!"

As he kowtowed, he stole glances at Jiang Han out of the corner of his eye, his eyes filled with fanatical greed and the smug satisfaction of a successful conspiracy.

key?

Jiang Han narrowed his eyes.

Is the key this old ghost is referring to himself? Or is it the Qilin tattoo?

Just then.

"Splash—"

The once calm, mirror-like surface of the mercury-like sea suddenly began to ripple with huge waves.

Immediately afterwards, a huge whirlpool with a diameter of tens of meters formed on the sea surface.

"Something has come up."

Jiang Han gripped the hilt of his knife with his right hand and made a tactical hand gesture with his left, "Alert!"

All the gun barrels instantly aimed at that vortex.

"Splash—"

With a series of crisp metallic clanging sounds, corpses floated to the surface from the vortex.

No.

That was no ordinary corpse.

They wore standard Qin Dynasty armor, and their skin had an eerie silver-gray hue, as if it had been soaked in mercury for thousands of years and had become completely metallic.

Not one.

Ten, a hundred, a thousand...

In the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of "mercury terracotta warriors" emerged from the sea, densely arranged in neat square formations, floating on the silvery waves.

Their eyes were tightly closed, and they held bronze halberds in their hands. Although they were corpses, the overwhelming killing intent they exuded made the legs of the elite modern special forces soldiers standing on the cliff tremble.

These are the elite warriors of the Qin Dynasty who swept across the six kingdoms!

Even though they've been dead for two thousand years, this military spirit still suppresses this underground world!

[WARNING! Extremely strong magnetic field detected!]

[Target identified: Qin Elite Warriors (semi-awakened state)!]

[System Notification: Use of firearms is prohibited! Detonating the mercury sea will trigger a chain reaction of corpse explosions, wiping out everyone!]

Jiang Han frowned as he looked at the system notification.

You must not fire.

Then we'll have to resort to hand-to-hand combat.

But how do we get there?

This mercury-red sea stretches for several kilometers, and in the center of the sea, a majestic black city can be vaguely seen floating on it.

That's the true core of the underground palace.

There is no bridge.

There is no boat.

"How do we get across?" Li Zhenhua's face was grim. "Swim across?"

Do not make jokes.

Mercury is 13.5 times denser than water, so a person who jumps in cannot swim at all, and it is also highly poisonous.

"If we don't have a boat, we'll build one."

Jiang Han suddenly turned around and strode towards Qin Qifeng, who was still kowtowing.

He grabbed Qin Qifeng by the back of his collar and lifted him up to the edge of the cliff like a little chick, leaving him suspended in mid-air above a bottomless abyss!

"Ah—! What are you doing?!"

Qin Qifeng was terrified, gripping Jiang Han's arm tightly with both hands and kicking his legs wildly in the air.

Below is a churning sea of ​​mercury and a dense mass of terracotta warriors.

Falling down means certain death.

"Old man, it's time for you to contribute something."

Jiang Han looked at him expressionlessly, "Since you are the tomb keeper, you must know how to cross the river."

"I don't know! I don't know!" Qin Qifeng screamed.

"have no idea?"

Jiang Han sneered and loosened his grip.

Qin Qifeng's body suddenly plummeted downwards!

"Ah—! I'll talk! I'll talk!"

Jiang Han grabbed his collar again and pulled him back.

"explain."

Qin Qifeng was panting heavily, his whole body trembling, and his dead face turned even paler.

He shakily pulled a black whistle from his pocket, which looked like it was made from some kind of animal bone.

"This is... the Dragon Summoning Whistle..."

Qin Qifeng said, trembling, "Blow it, and the 'Dragon Boat' will come to pick you up..."

Jiang Han snatched the bone whistle away.

It was icy cold to the touch, and the character "Xu" was engraved on it in small seal script.

Things belonging to Xu Fu?

Without hesitation, Jiang Han put the bone whistle to his lips and blew hard.

"Ugh—!!!"

A desolate, deep sound, like an ancient horn, instantly pierced the darkness beneath the earth and echoed across the vast mercury sea.

The sound faded.

A scene of solitude and silence.

Everyone held their breath, staring intently at the sea.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a deep, muffled roar came from the depths of the Mercury Sea, as if some enormous creature was awakening.

Immediately afterwards, a huge wave was broken open.

A colossal ship, a hundred meters long and entirely cast from white bones and bronze, slowly sailed in, cutting through the silver waves and bringing with it a chilling wind from hell!

And there was a person standing on the bow of that ship!

A living person dressed in a black robe, wearing a bronze mask, and holding a long pole!
