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

There's really nowhere to start!

Wu Xie looked down at the corpse inside the coffin and said, "So many arms, and the head is stuck together, what kind of rule is this?"

"This method of joint burial is too cruel!"

Wang Banyue nodded in deep agreement, saying, "It really is too tragic, they're twisted into a pretzel!"

Wu Xie's pupils contracted, as if he had just realized something. "Is this a forced human sacrifice?"

Wu Xie was new to the business and there were many things he didn't understand. Old Hu, on the other hand, recognized the object immediately, laughed, and then explained to the younger men, "Six heads and twelve arms, this is called 'nourishing qi and hiding corpses.' You pile people together and suffocate them inside with drugs."

Preserving Qi and concealing the corpse?

Wu Xie didn't understand what it meant.

Wang Kaixuan puffed out his chest and put on airs, "Naive little brother, this thing is called a corpse-raising coffin, you know!"

"It's a matter of feng shui..."

"Tell me, there are two auspicious burial plots in a tomb. One of the plots, because it gathers the spiritual energy of the sea and rivers, attracts unclean and unclean spirits, so the other plot is used to place the coffin of the tomb's occupant..."

"The person buried with the deceased must be a blood relative, and the coffin must be exactly the same as the one in the main burial chamber. This is called 'cultivating qi,' understand?"

Old Hu looked at Wang Kaixuan with some surprise: "Fatty, not bad... you're getting the hang of it now..."

"Ha ha…"

Wang Kaixuan laughed loudly, "Fatty hasn't been idle these past ten years either..."

Wu Xie looked dejected. "So many people have to be buried with them for these so-called ethereal feng shui techniques..."

Wang Yueban muttered to himself, "Six heads and twelve arms, it's practically a giant worm..."

While everyone was gathered together discussing, Su Mo also filled up all the bottles and jars on the ground that could hold anything.

Although Su Mo is not short of money now, these antiques were all used by Wang Zanghai during his lifetime, and they might still be useful in the future.

Putting away the antiques, Su Mo approached the coffin. "Please, do your work cleaning out the human oil; there might be more clues down there..."

As he spoke, Su Mo took out a bunch of masks and distributed them to everyone.

The four fierce generals listened to Su Mo's words. They found some broken rubble, put on masks, and got to work.

Wang Yueban looked at the four fierce generals with admiration. That's why they were called masters; their obedient attitude towards Master Su was something no one else could do.

Everyone put on masks and worked together. In about half an hour, the corpse oil was cleaned out.

The body inside the coffin was also fully exposed to everyone.

Wang Kaixuan shone his flashlight on it and said, "This is a female corpse. It has twelve hands, or should it have twelve grandmothers?"

"Why are there only five? That's asymmetrical!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless. Even Wang Yueban blushed, realizing how embarrassing his master had been.

Su Mo ignored the fat man and said, "Bring him out!"

Alright!

Wang Kaixuan used his rifle to lift the thigh of the corpse from the coffin, and, suppressing his nausea, glanced at it. "This corpse is completely rotten..."

"Eeya!!"

Just then, in the quiet tomb chamber, apart from the voices of a few people talking, a cat's meow suddenly rang out.

Wang Kaixuan was startled and immediately dropped his leg, drawing his gun and becoming alert.

Chapter 203: A Thousand Miles of Barren Land, the System Chooses Again

"aim!"

The sound was crisp and clear, and the echo lingered in everyone's ears; everyone heard it.

Wang Kaixuan was startled. "How could there be a cat in this godforsaken place? Is it a cat zombie?"

Su Mohuan looked around but found nothing unusual. She reassured him, "It's nothing, just a cat zombie. Even if it rises to life, how can so many of us be afraid of it..."

"Never mind, let's move the body first..."

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, the four fierce generals began to work together to lift the strange corpse out of the coffin and place it on the ground.

Wang Kaixuan wiped his hands, looking disgusted. "It's absolutely disgusting..."

Old Hu looked at the coffin and said, "There are words on the coffin stone!"

Zhang Yingchuan laughed and said, "Hey, you know what, the tomb owner thought of everything. With this coffin-pressing stone, even if the airtight structure of the underwater tomb is destroyed."

"Even if seawater comes in, the coffin won't float."

Su Mo looked up and found that what used to be the tomb entrance had now turned into a wall.

Even he didn't hear any mechanism being activated.

"Holy crap, where's the door?"

"This is so weird, there wasn't a sound at all..."

Everyone was filled with surprise and doubt.

"Boom!"

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the corpse on the ground suddenly started to move.

Su Mo raised an eyebrow. According to the original description, the thing inside the corpse was a drought demon.

【Ding! 】

A system voice announced, "[Congratulations, host, you have triggered the selection condition!]"

[Option 1: The drought demon emerges, scorching the land. Fight the drought demon to the death, and upon successful defeat, your strength will permanently increase by 30!]

[Option Two: Ignore it and leave quietly; reward: permanent +30 Agility...]

[Option 3: Escape the underwater tomb, reward: permanent +30 Intelligence...]

[The drought demon is about to be born. Please make your choice as soon as possible!]

Su Mo didn't expect the system to appear at this moment.

If there were no system selection, he would definitely have run away just like the guy in the original story.

Because, not to mention whether drought demons are easy or difficult to kill, even if they are killed, their corpse poison will still escape.

The air in the underwater tomb is already thin; if the corpse poison escapes, the air will also become poisonous!

Without air, no matter how skilled Su Mo was, he would perish in the underwater tomb.

"Pfft!"

Inside the female corpse's stomach, an arm reached out and grabbed Zhang Qiling, who was closest to her.

Su Mo drew his pistol and decisively pulled the trigger.

"Oh!"

The bullet struck the white-haired drought demon's arm. Zhang Qiling reacted at that moment, quickly got up, and created a safe distance between himself and the female corpse.

Wang Kaixuan pointed his gun at the woman's stomach and asked, "Brother Su, what the hell is this? Is it the same as the ghost infant we encountered in the tomb of King Xian?"

Clang!

Su Mo drew his Crimson Sky Sword and said in a stern voice, "This is a White-haired Drought Demon!"

Wang Kaixuan exclaimed, "A drought demon! My God! This thing is the legendary drought demon that can turn the land barren for thousands of miles!"

As he spoke, Wang Kaixuan quickly took out his black gold entrenching shovel.

Weapons are far more effective than firearms at dealing with the zombies hiding in the tomb.

Old Hu also took out his own little divine peak, ready to face the challenge.

Zhang Qiling's expression was solemn. "Even if we kill this thing, it will still leak out corpse poison. Let's go, it's better not to confront it head-on!"

"Walk?"

Su Mo flicked the Crimson Sky Sword and said, "Where can we go? Even if we leave, he will chase after us. It's better to settle things here in this tomb... Besides, the Drought Demon is known for its scorching land. If it leaves here today, the people here will definitely suffer!"

"We broke into the underwater tomb, released this drought demon, and then just left... I can't do something like that..."

Seeing that Su Mo had already said this, clearly indicating that he had made up his mind, Zhang Qiling said nothing more and immediately prepared for battle.

The four fierce generals also drew their swords!

Everyone stared solemnly at the female corpse.

The white-haired drought demon was writhing inside his stomach.

The next moment, a white-haired drought demon rushed out of the woman's belly.

"Roar!"

As if it had been holding it in for too long, it finally came out, and the drought demon was happy, excited, and roared to the sky.

Everyone stared at the white-haired drought demon before them.

It's about the size of an elementary school student.

Although he was short, the resentment he carried was extremely powerful.

Sensing a powerful surge of resentment, Su Mo immediately unleashed his dragon might to intimidate and confront it.

The resentment of a thousand years and the aura of the Azure Dragon of the East surged and intertwined in the void.

At first, Su Mo felt a little uncomfortable, but after he adjusted his emotions, he quickly gained the upper hand.

However, Su Mo was not proud, because it knew that this was still just a drought demon that had not yet grown up.

If it grows up, it can truly achieve the goal of turning the land into a barren wasteland.

Even Su Mo would probably be no match for that level of evil spirit.

Su Mo waved his hand, "Go!"

The four fierce generals narrowed their eyes and disappeared from the spot at the same time.
