I stormed down the mountain, took down all the big shots in the city, and the female CEO dragged me

Rumble...

A muffled thud came from above, causing the ground beneath their feet to tremble slightly, and dust fell in a flurry onto Xu Yuan's shoulders.

A thin layer of dust had appeared on the once-clean white porridge in the pot.

Xu Yuan suddenly stood up and looked up. Qingzhen and the others' expressions changed drastically, fearing that the stone cave might collapse at any moment.

"What's going on?" Zhang Ershan asked, puzzled.

"They've started moving."

Xu Yuan put down the small bowl in his hand with a serious expression: "It must be people from Chrysanthemum Kingdom who entered the ancient tomb. They used explosives to blow up the entrance."

Upon seeing Xu Yuan's physique, Zhang Ershan instantly realized something.

"How dare these beasts do this?"

"If they disturb the ancestors, they are doomed."

"This is not the time to talk about these things," Qingzhen said, remaining rational.

"Our most important task now is to enter the ancient tomb."

"If the Chrysanthemum People discover the contents of the ancient tomb first, and then take them out and back to their own country, we will be traitors to our nation."

"Shanzi, tell us quickly, where can we get in?"

All eyes of Qingxuan and the others fell on Zhang Ershan.

Zhang Ershan stood there, conflicted.

The ancestral precept forbids any outsiders from entering the tomb, but the current situation is critical, and the Chrysanthemum People are already blowing up the ancient tomb.

If they manage to break into the tomb, everything will be over.

but……

He looked at the wishing couple, and hesitated.

"To tell you the truth, even if you go in, it won't do you any good; you'll definitely die inside."

What's inside is beyond your capabilities.

"Even if the Chrysanthemum People go in, they will definitely not come back."

"Many people have tried to rob tombs before, but no one has ever come out alive."

"Why don't you understand?" Kiyomoto hurriedly explained to him.

"The fact that the people of Chrysanthemum Country dared to blow up the cemetery means they must have a way to get into the tomb."

"Even if they don't get anything, they'll still blow open the tomb if they just use explosives, right?"

"If what you call the things in the tomb escapes and harms the people, who will be held responsible?"

"We are helping you now, and also helping the owner of this tomb."

Are you really going to just stand by and watch the contents of the tomb fall into the hands of others?

"Can……"

Zhang Ershan hesitated, then looked up at Xu Yuan and the others. Seeing that they didn't seem like bad people, he also explained his predicament.

"Even if I tell you how to get in, you still won't be able to reach the tomb."

The things inside are terrifying; no one ever comes out alive.

"You don't need to worry about whether we can come out alive. You just need to tell us where we can get in," Xu Yuan said calmly.

He couldn't possibly stand by and watch the people of Chrysanthemum Country plunder his country's ancient tombs right before his eyes, and even try to sever the dragon vein of China.

Any one of these is something they would protect with their lives.

Seeing their insistence, Zhang Ershan finally chose to compromise, pointing to the stone door in the corner.

"You can go in by opening the stone door, but there is something extremely ominous inside."

"None of my ancestors who went in ever came out."

"If something really goes wrong, don't say I didn't warn you."

Xu Yuan strode to the stone door, feeling the warmth of the stone wall with his palm: "How do I open it?"

Zhang Ershan walked to the corner, moved a stone, and reached down to pry open the gap below. With a muffled thud, the stone door slowly opened a crack.

Kiyomoto peered into the doorway, a chilling aura emanating from him.

Xu Yuan and Qingzhen exchanged a glance, then looked at Zhang Ershan: "Do you want to come in with us?"

"No, no, no... I'm not going."

Zhang Ershan waved his hand dismissively and backed away, saying, "You guys go in yourselves."

Entering this door is like entering the gates of hell; there's absolutely no way you'll come out alive. Let whoever wants to go, go ahead; he's not going.

Knowing full well that you're going to your death, yet still rushing off, is either foolish or stupid.

Without saying anything more, Xu Yuan took the lead and stepped through the stone gate. Qingzhen and his three junior brothers exchanged glances and followed him in.

creak...

After the five people went inside, the stone door closed immediately, and Qingbei quickly raised her hand to pound on the stone door.

"Senior brother, why did you turn it off?"

How are we supposed to get out of here now that we're back?

Qingzhen glanced back, her face expressionless: "There must be other exits. Let's go ahead and take a look."

Xu Yuan remained silent and carefully walked forward. After passing through a dark alley, a wide space appeared before him. He carefully looked at his surroundings.

"ah…"

Kiyomoto stepped on something, looked down and saw that it was a pile of bones, and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.

His voice trembled as he pointed at the thing on the ground: "Dead...dead person."

Qingzhen and the others quickly gathered around, and when they saw the scattered bones on the ground, a look of grief flashed in their eyes.

"It seems Zhang Ershan wasn't lying to us. Most of them are trapped in this place, unable to go in or back out."

"Senior brother, should we go back?" Qingbei said, trembling with fear, clinging tightly to Qingzhen's side.

"Or...or you guys go by yourselves, I'm not going."

After saying that, Qingbei turned and ran back. He had only taken two steps when a stone gate suddenly fell down from the direction he came from, blocking his way.

He crashed headfirst into the suddenly appearing stone door, nearly knocking himself unconscious.

"We're doomed, our escape route is blocked, we're really going to die here."

Qingbei pounded on the stone door, trying to smash it open.

Xu Yuan stepped forward and touched the stone door, then looked at the white bones on the ground.

"It seems they were trapped in this cramped space and starved to death."

"So what do we do?"

When Qingbei heard that she was going to starve to death here, her voice became mournful.

"It's all your fault, you insisted on coming in."

What are you doing here?

"Senior brother, we've all been fooled by him."

"Shut up," Qingzhen snapped, calmly surveying her surroundings.

"There's nothing here, yet there's an extra space; there must be a reason for it."

"Everyone, look carefully; there must be a mechanism to open the stone door."

Xu Yuan agreed with this viewpoint, and before Qingzhen could speak, he had already begun looking for the authorities.

Ignoring Qingbei's cries, Xu Yuan gently explored the stone wall with his palm and finally found a smooth wall that was different from the others.

"There are words here."

Xu Yuan called out, and Qingzhen quickly came over. He touched the dust off the surface and carefully looked at the words on it. After a long time, he couldn't recognize a single one.

"This doesn't seem to be our handwriting?"

"This is Sanskrit."

Qingzhen explained, "It means that if we continue forward, we will surely die without a burial place, while retreating now still offers a chance."

"That sounds pretty scary."

Xu Yuan became even more curious, and the more he was forbidden from doing something, the more he wanted to see it in detail.

His gaze was fixed on the words on the stone wall when suddenly his eyes lit up, and he raised his finger to press on the circular characters in the middle.

Splash...

As he pressed his finger down, a stone door leading into the depths opened once more.

"Is it open?"

Qingben and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xu Yuan ignored their reactions and continued walking inside.

"If you're willing to stay here, then wait to die."

"Those who want to live, come with me."
