I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

Chapter 102 Scheming Against Me?

"Subdued them?" Xu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Monsters like these that live in cold, dark places are extremely powerful. However, precisely because they are powerful, they have a sense of territory. There won't be any other monsters in this passage, so we should be able to explore safely!"

"Yes!" Huang Jin echoed.

But he felt relieved.

A person who is even afraid of monsters, isn't that someone who can be easily controlled?

Moreover, he had absolute confidence in his own strength. He dared not say he was invincible among the four stages of body tempering, but he was at least absolutely confident that he could deal with such a young nobody.

The two stopped chatting and instead walked one after the other into the tomb passage they had explored.

Huang Jin, having explored the area extensively, was familiar with it and naturally walked at the front.

Xu Hao brought up the rear, holding a torch and carefully following behind.

Before long, the two had walked a distance and descended into a series of somewhat enclosed side tomb chambers.

The tomb chamber was quite large, and there were also many side chambers around it.

The first one is already open.

Judging from the lighting, there were obvious signs of a fight all around.

Xu Hao glanced at the scene and quickly understood the situation.

Clearly, Sikong Mou and his group opened the side chamber, encountered zombies and the like, and after a hard-fought battle, finally escaped unscathed.

However, judging from the other unopened tomb chambers, Sikong Mou and his group clearly felt that these tomb chambers were extremely dangerous.

Therefore, it was left for him.

"Is this a scheme to use someone else to do the dirty work?" Xu Hao had already concocted a fairly convincing storyline.

They're all just trivial tricks.

"Brother Xu, these tombs contain incredibly valuable treasures. We opened one last time and made a fortune!" Huang Jin continued when he saw that Xu Hao had also noticed several tombs. "However, there are those bronze-colored humanoid monsters I mentioned earlier, with extremely hard bodies that are difficult to kill."

But if we cooperate properly, we can still subdue them. I just don't know what Brother Xu means.

Of course, if Brother Xu finds this troublesome or is afraid of taking risks, we can skip these and go directly to the government office!

First, they said they had a huge amount of wealth, then they said there were certain risks involved.

It was full of sincerity, with not a single lie.

If it were any other normal person, they would probably be attracted, and might even be deceived by words that could subdue them, thus making the wrong judgment.

However, Huang Jin clearly underestimated Xu Hao.

He knew absolutely nothing about Xu Hao.

"good!"

"Never mind then. I was originally going to give it a shot—what?" Huang Jin thought Xu Hao would refuse. He had even planned to accidentally trigger the mechanism as he walked by, thus opening the side chamber.

Unexpectedly, when he came to his senses, he heard Xu Hao agree.

As expected, they are still inexperienced and do not know the saying "one person should not enter a temple alone, and two people should not look into a well together."

Once this side chamber is opened, the first person targeted by the monster will already have one foot in the grave.

Seeing Huang Jin's slightly shocked expression, Xu Hao smiled and said, "I said, let's give it a try. Since we've entered this treasure trove, we can't leave empty-handed. We need money right now, at this crucial moment in our formal cultivation!"

His strength has greatly increased. Since Sikong Mou and others were able to subdue him, he can certainly do the same.

Even if he couldn't fight against Huang Jin, he only needed to run faster than Huang Jin.

There are perfect solutions both ways, so there's no reason not to check what's inside the side chamber.

According to the ancient burial customs of the past, these side chambers should contain a considerable amount of wealth.

Poor scholars, rich warriors.

For Xu Hao, who was now penniless and could barely afford cultivation resources, this was like a windfall.

Now he really wanted to thank Sikong Mou in person.

"That's true. Transforming Qi and Blood into True Strength requires far too many resources. Without putting in the hard work, it's impossible to accumulate the necessary foundation!"

Huang Jin nodded in understanding.

If it weren't for the enormous consumption of his qi and blood in the process of transforming it into internal energy, he wouldn't have become an outlaw and engaged in such deadly acts.

However, if Xu Hao is killed now, he can not only obtain a huge fortune, but also receive some rewards from his superiors, killing two birds with one stone.

However, to avoid arousing Xu Hao's suspicion, he cautiously said, "Be careful, this thing is extremely powerful. I'll open this door later, and you'll be in charge of holding it back. Then we'll attack from both sides!"

"Okay!" Xu Hao nodded like a naive young man eager to make money.

Xu Hao consciously approached the door of a side room and assumed an attack stance.

Huang Jin also arrived at a place with crisscrossing patterns.

This is what triggered the opening of the coffin in the side chamber.

Their first exploration had ended in disaster when they accidentally touched the door to the side chamber, which opened and unleashed the zombies inside.

Fortunately, they were all present and well-prepared, which prevented any casualties.

Even so, that time was extremely dangerous for them, and they almost suffered heavy losses.

Now that there are only two of them, to be honest, he is still a little uneasy and anxious.

Despite his unease, the thought of the wealth he might gain from killing Xu Hao made him step on the trap without hesitation.

Moreover, this time, it wasn't stepping on the tomb chamber directly opposite Xu Hao, but on one behind him.

Click.

A crisp snapping sound rang out.

With a loud rumble.

The stone door to the tomb chamber behind Xu Hao suddenly collapsed.

The enormous roar, accompanied by vibrations, caused the wooden coffin inside the tomb to collapse instantly.

Awoo.

As the wooden coffin crumbled, a bronze-colored humanoid figure lying inside fell to the ground.

It was a two-meter-tall humanoid corpse.

However, unlike a normal corpse, it was somewhat dried out and turned bluish-yellow.

It resembles a body made of bronze.

As the body fell to the ground, the previously tightly closed eyes suddenly opened a crack.

Immediately afterwards, a scarlet light emerged from the crack.

Awoo.

A foul stench gushed from the bronze corpse's mouth, and then two long fangs opened, revealing a gaping maw.

boom.

The bronze corpse rolled over, its crimson eyes sweeping across the room and locking onto Xu Hao, who was facing the entrance to the tomb.

Without the slightest hesitation, it stretched out a pair of hands covered in sharp claws and leaped towards Xu Hao.

It is extremely fast and covers a very large area.

With a leap, the tomb chamber, several meters in size, flashed by.

"Damn, how did I end up in the back?" Xu Hao jumped, as if he had been startled.

Then, under Huang Jin's smug gaze, Xu Hao turned around in a flash and rushed towards the passage outside the tomb.

The speed was so fast that before Huang Jin's smile could fully spread, Xu Hao had already disappeared from the entire tomb chamber.

"You, this, Xu Hao?" Huang Jin's smile vanished instantly.
