Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

It's mid-July now.

Ten o'clock in the morning,

In a small town on the outskirts of the Taklamakan Desert,

Zhou Nanbei, Sheng Sheng Man

Standing at the very front of the camel caravan,

Following Wang Pangzi and his two companions were Black-backed Lao Liu, Partridge Whistle, Shirley Yang, Chen Yulou, and Red Girl.

After tidying up the items,

Black-backed Old Six shouted, "Young Master Zhou!"

Everything is ready.

Fatty Wang chimed in, "We're all set too."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

He glanced at the map he had bought from Anliman.

He then said, "Let's set off."

As soon as he finished speaking, he shouted to the camel leader beneath him.

They began to head into the desert.

At first, everyone was quite curious.

But as time went by

Even a chatterbox like Wang Pangzi shut up; he'd seen far too many beautiful sights.

I felt the same way, bored.

.........

Three days later.

At six o'clock in the afternoon,

On a slope in the desert, a camel gradually comes into view.

A boy of about eleven or twelve years old sat on it. When he saw the two black mountains in the distance,

The boy's eyes lit up.

He immediately spurred the camel on, shouting as he moved forward. Once all the camels behind had caught up, he continued on.

The boy shouted and stopped.

This group was none other than Zhou Nanbei's group. Then Zhou Nanbei...

He looked back and shouted, "We've arrived!"

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Fatty Wang immediately dismounted from the camel.

He ran to Zhou Nanbei's side.

"Young Master Zhou, there's nothing here."

The slow, gentle melody began to play.

"Look over there."

Wang Pangzi looked in the direction Sheng Shengman was pointing and saw a dilapidated city wall not far to his right.

Fatty Wang's eyes lit up.

"Tsk tsk, we've finally arrived. The final goods."

"Fatty's here to see you."

He exclaimed "Wuhu!" and quickly called out, "Old Hu, Old Hu!"

Here comes your specialty, come and see where we go down.

Hu Bayi rolled over and got down.

Arriving at the front of the line,

Looking at the distant Black Mountain and then at the dilapidated city walls, he finally took out his compass from his bag.

The exploration has begun.

Who knew the compass would spin erratically and not obey my commands.

"Young Master Zhou,"

This compass isn't working.

Zhou Nanbei chuckled lightly: "Normal. See those two mountains over there?"

That's Magnet Mountain.

The magnetic field it generates disrupts the operation of the compass, rendering it useless for ordinary feng shui consultations.

Wait until later,

Try using your celestial feng shui techniques.

Hu Bayi nodded slightly. At this moment, Black-backed Old Six's voice rang out: "Little Hu,

Old ginger is spicier, after all.

Let the seniors open your eyes.

He then looked at Partridge Whistle and said, "Old Yang, why don't you hurry up and give Little Hu..."

Let's go to class.

Partridge Whistle and the others burst into laughter, as Partridge Whistle dismounted from the camel.

Chen Yulou and the others followed.

Partridge Whistle stepped forward to examine the feng shui before him.

He then remarked, "The Queen of Jingjue certainly has a grand vision."

Chen Yulou also said, "Yes, what a grand gesture."

The two exchanged a glance.

Partridge Whistle said softly, "Since Brother Chen has also figured it out,

Let's say it together.

Chen Yulou nodded, and then the two said in unison:

"Slay the Dragon".

finished,

The two exchanged a smile, and then Hu Bayi leaned in and said:

"Boss, when you talk about slaying the dragon, is it this black dragon right now?"

Chen Yulou chuckled and said, "This child is teachable."

This mountain range is called Black Dragon.

The black dragon was an ominous sign, and the Queen of Jingjue naturally recognized this, so she built the ancient city of Jingjue on this dragon vein.

It's equivalent to,

Dividing the dragon vein in two, the black dragon, already considered malevolent, became even more so after being severed.

And the Queen of Jingjue,

This ominous aura was used to guard the tomb, which is why we say the Queen of Jingjue's actions were grand."

finished,

Partridge Whistle added, "Brother Chen is right, but while there are large-scale projects involved..."

It also possesses a grand vision.

To dare bury oneself in such an ominous place, one must truly be a divine being.

Upon hearing this,

Everyone understood most of it.

Fatty Wang, however, asked impatiently, "Then what about the leader?"

Where do we go next?

Chen Yulou glanced at Fatty Wang: "You think I'm a god?"

Those who can discern feng shui principles have lived for so many years; how could someone know the entrance to a tomb raider's tunnel from miles away?

He then looked at Zhou Nanbei.

"Young Master Zhou, we still need to conduct an on-site inspection of the entrance over there."

Zhou Nanbei nodded slightly.

"In that case, let's conduct the investigation tomorrow."

We've been traveling all day.

It was getting late, so we set up our tents on the spot.

Eat, stay overnight.

Everyone agreed, and then they unloaded their tents from the camels and began to set them up.

Meanwhile, Sheng Sheng Man pulled Zhou Nanbei along.

Start setting up the table.

They also lit a bonfire.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and everyone sat around the campfire.

Eating on the small table in front of them,

With the food laid out before them, and while discussing their plans to descend the Jingjue Tomb the next day, Fatty Wang glanced at Shirley Yang.

He laughed and said, "Foreign girl, you'll be meeting your big creditor soon."

Any thoughts?

Shirley Yang glared at Fatty Wang: "What foreign girl?"

I am of mixed race.

Then he added, "It would be best if the remnant soul of the serpent god were gone."

otherwise,

"If I don't tear it to pieces, I'll write my name, Shirley Yang, backwards."

What was originally a rather serious statement,

Who knew that Fatty Wang would suddenly shout, "Hey hey hey!"

You little foreign girl, you're trying to outsmart me! Don't think I don't know!

Your foreign names,

They're all written backwards.

Everyone couldn't help but burst out laughing. After a while, Zhou Nanbei said irritably, "Fatty,

What are you trying to say, trying to be clever?

Fatty Wang chuckled: "Young Master Zhou,"

………

Before she could finish speaking, Shirley Yang suddenly showed a pained expression.

Then she cried out in pain.

Before anyone could react, Partridge Whistle's voice rang out as well, but because of his higher cultivation level,

It can be suppressed.

"not good,

The curse is accelerating the absorption of life force.

Zhou Nanbei saw this,

First, spatial power spread out, enveloping and isolating the two of them, before saying, "I will use spatial power..."

I've isolated you.

Are you feeling better now?

Shirley Yang paused for a moment before speaking, "I can't feel any pain anymore."

It should be alright now.

Partridge Whistle was the same, except for the fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

But it proved that

What just happened was not an accident.

The scene shifts to inside the ghost cave, where a roar echoes from within.

"Who is it?!"

Meanwhile, the Kunlun Divine Tree above the Ghost Cave...

Suddenly a flash of golden light appeared.

But it was fleeting.

The scene returns to Zhou Nanbei, who turns to look at Cishan.

I watched for a while.

He then turned his gaze to Partridge Whistle and said, "It seems..."

The remnant soul of the serpent god has not yet dissipated, but its condition is certainly not good, otherwise it wouldn't be so close.

I only just realized how great you two are.

It won't drain your life force only after you get close.

Upon hearing this,

After checking on Shirley Yang's condition, Partridge Whistle looked up at everyone and said, "In just the blink of an eye..."

Shirley lost at least a year of her life.

Upon hearing this, Fatty Wang spat.

"Pah, that shameless snake god!"

Fatty, I'll fuck its ancestor!

This scourge will be dealt with later.

Shirley Yang burst out laughing upon hearing this.

His voice was weak as he said, "You fatso..."

"You have really unusual tastes."

Everyone chuckled upon hearing this, but Fatty Wang...

He scratched his head and said, "This shouldn't be happening. Over all these years..."

Since the serpent god is not dead,

Why not find new people to perform the rituals for it?

With this remark,

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances and, naturally, became wary.
