In Panjiayuan, the first thing they did was trick Lao Hu into going tomb raiding.

Old Hu gritted his teeth, "I already told you to put him back, why did you have to pull this stunt? Peace is the most important thing? Do you think he understands what you're saying?"

"what to do…"

The fat man was frantic, "We're not going to die here, are we...?"

"Is Brother Su a match for it?"

The fat man dared not make a loud noise, for fear of attracting the giant corpse again.

【Ding! 】

A system voice announced, "[Congratulations, host, you have triggered the God-Level Choice System...]"

[Option 1: Fight to the death against the Jin general. Upon victory, you will be rewarded with the legendary sword, the Crimson Sky Sword!]

[Option Two: Fight and retreat, using the Heavenly Treasure Dragon Fire Glazed Top from the original novel to burn the zombies to death. Reward: A dagger!]

[Option 3: Retreat from the tomb, reward: permanent +1 Intelligence!]

"This reward is just what I needed!"

Su Mo turned to Hu Bayi and the others and said, "No need to worry, it's no match for me. But you'd better stay away; swords have no eyes, and I'm afraid you might get hurt..."

After saying that, Su Mo used his lightness skill, "Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms," to appear silently above the giant corpse.

Su Mo swung his spiked club, gathering all his strength, and slammed it heavily down on the giant corpse's head.

Su Mo possesses superhuman strength, and with this 200-pound spiked club, he is confident that a single blow would be fatal.

"Roar!"

Unexpectedly, the giant corpse suddenly let out a loud cry, the piercing sound accompanied by a putrid stench that nearly made Su Mo faint.

"Buzz!"

The giant corpse raised its head and stretched out its giant hand to directly grasp the spiked club that was falling from the sky.

"..."

Su Mo focused his strength, and the giant corpse also increased the pressure on its staff. The two remained locked in a stalemate for half a minute.

Su Mo's eyes darted around, and the spiked club in his hand began to spin and shake violently.

Before long, the giant corpse lost control of the spiked club and immediately roared, "Roar!"

The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the tomb.

"brute!"

Su Mo shouted and pounced like a tiger descending a mountain, wielding his spiked club with ferocious speed.

"Oh!"

The giant corpse's head burst open like a watermelon, and its mountain-like body collapsed with a crash.

"call…"

Su Mo landed gracefully, wiped the cold sweat from his face, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the giant corpse was no longer moving.

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission requirements! Reward: The legendary sword, Crimson Sky Sword!]

[Ding! The Crimson Sky Sword has been delivered to your system space!]

The Crimson Sky Sword, the sword of the emperor, was once the personal sword of Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty…

As the system voice sounded, Su Mo looked around the space and found that there really was a bronze sword inside. It was three feet long, with the inscription "Chixiao" in seal script on it, and patterns embroidered on the back. It had a chilling light and was quite extraordinary.

Oh my god!

When the fat man and his companions saw that Su Mo had dealt with the giant corpse in just a few moves, their blood pressure soared, and they were extremely excited.

"Brother Su, you are truly a god descended from heaven."

"Brother Su, are you alright...?"

Yingzi was relieved to see that Su Mo was indeed unharmed.

"Master Su, I admire you!"

Old Hu gave a thumbs up, completely impressed by Su Mo.

Su Mo smiled, unconcerned. "This giant corpse is nothing special; it's just impervious to ordinary blades and spears. Dealing with it is easy; the simplest way is to set it on fire..."

【Ding! 】

The system voice sounded again: [Congratulations, host, for triggering the God-level Choice System once more.]

[Option 1: Continue exploring the Japanese fortress alone, rewarding you with a permanent +10 stamina.]

[Option 2: Lead Hu Bayi and others to continue exploring the Japanese fortress, reward: Golden Eye (Golden Eye: can see through Yin and Yang, distinguish truth from falsehood, and refute illusions)]

[Option 3: Lead everyone back the way they came, rewarding you with a permanent +10 Wisdom...]

"Everyone, take a break. Let's continue exploring this Japanese fortress!"

After looking at the reward options, Su Mo decisively chose the second one.

With the Golden Eyes, one can see into Yin and Yang, distinguish truth from falsehood, and sever illusions. With it, what evil spirits are there to fear?

The fat man didn't forget to flatter, "Alright, whatever Brother Su says goes..."

The group quickly packed their things.

Yingzi ran over and whispered, "Brother Su, we've taken almost everything we could. Let's go back..."

Su Mo patted Yingzi's head, "Don't worry, there are still more treasures here..."

Upon hearing that there was treasure, Fatty Wang immediately came running over with a fawning expression.

Su Mo explained, "Although this is the tomb of a great general, it is also a fortress left behind by the Japanese army!"

"Follow me..."

The fat man and the others were already captivated by Su Mo's charisma, and without any hesitation, they picked up their backpacks and followed behind him.

After making several turns, the group found themselves in a dead end.

Just as the fat man was about to say something, Su Mo raised his fist, gathered his energy in his dantian, and roared, "Break for me!"

"boom!"

The solid wall was instantly cracked open by Su Mo's hammer.

"it is good!"

Su Mo clapped his hands and was the first to pass through the wall.

"Master Hu..."

Looking at the shocking fist marks on the wall, Fatty Wang asked Hu Bayi, "Are all the tomb raiders this powerful?"

"Why do I feel like you, this hereditary tomb raider, are utterly worthless!"

Hu Bayi's lips twitched; he was utterly speechless.

"Let's go, let's go..."

Yingzi urged, "Brother Su is almost gone..."

The fat man didn't dare to be careless and quickly chased after him, calling out, "Brother Su, please slow down!"

Chapter Twelve: Ghostly Shadows

"Brother Su, Brother Su..."

The surroundings were eerie. Yingzi gripped Su Mo's arm as they walked, and as she looked around, she noticed something that Su Mo and the others had missed: "It looks like a map drawn on the wall..."

Old Hu followed Yingzi's gaze and said, "It really is a map..."

Old Hu stroked his chin, staring intently at the map. "This... this couldn't possibly be the underground base of those little Japanese bastards, could it?"

Yingzi was somewhat surprised, "An underground base? A Kwantung Army fortress?"

"My God!"

The fat man shouted, "It really proves the old saying that when fortune comes, you can't stop it! This Japanese fortress is actually under an ancient tomb!"

Su Mo walked over, staring at the map for a while. "The map shows that this base has a power generation room. Let's go there first and see if we can turn on the lighting system. It's pitch black and quite eerie!"

Yingzi raised her little hand excitedly and said, "That's a great idea!"

Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang nodded in agreement.

Su Mo memorized the map and, following its guidance, they soon found the power generation room of the Japanese fortress.

Su Mo turned on the generator, and the next second, all the lights in the fortress lit up.

"The things the Japanese left behind are still usable..."

Seeing this, Su Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The fat man didn't forget to flatter him, "Brother Su has brought light to the mortal world!"

Su Mo laughed heartily, "Stop being so cheeky..."

"There's also an armory marked on the map, let's go check it out..."

Without lingering, Hu Bayi and his two companions followed Su Mo through a dark passage to the former Japanese armory where weapons were stored.

Looking around, the armory was filled with wartime military supplies, as well as a number of old-fashioned infantry guns.

"Wow!"

The fat man casually opened a box and found it was full of Japanese light machine guns.

Brand new, clearly unopened.

"Oh my god..."

The fat man exclaimed, "They're all new! Those damn Japanese devils hid so much equipment here back then!"

Old Hu, a former soldier and company commander, had a much higher standard than Fatty. He casually opened another box and immediately said in a deep voice, "Type 100 submachine gun, a weapon used by the Japanese Army's Class A divisions!"

"This is a war killing machine built by the Japanese!"
