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

The fat man grumbled, "I'm about to suffocate..."

【Ding! 】

At that moment, the system voice sounded: [Congratulations, host, on participating in the main storyline of the Ghost Blows Out the Light world…]

[The God-Level Choice System is now available!]

[Option 1: Inform the archaeological team about the large tomb, and join them in descending into the tomb. Reward: Permanent +10 Intelligence...]

[Option Two: Join the tomb raiders Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan to explore the tomb, rewarding you with a permanent +10 Strength...]

[Option 3: Enter the tomb alone, reward: permanent +10 Agility...]

The rewards for these choices were all roughly the same. After thinking for a moment, Lin Mo decided to focus on the second choice, which involved power.

"Brother..."

The fat man looked at Su Mo with a smile, "Am I right...?"

Su Mo smiled and said, "Let's go down into the tomb and stretch our muscles, brothers!"

The fat man was overjoyed. "Alright, I'll go get the tools!"

"Don't rush!"

Su Mo reached out and pulled the fat man back, instructing him, "Don't make a fuss about this yet. We can go down after everyone in the archaeological team has fallen asleep!"

The fat man nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Brother Su is so thoughtful. If there are too many people, there won't be enough treasures to go around!"

Chapter Twenty-Six: Is it really that simple?

"Okay, okay... that's enough for now!"

Su Mo quickly devised a plan: "Old Hu, you volunteer for the night shift tonight. Once everyone in the archaeological team is asleep in the latter half of the night, we'll move out immediately!"

"it is good!"

"Okay, no problem!"

Su Mo and the fat man responded, then the three of them checked the time and turned back to their camp.

Soon, it was past midnight.

Old Hu patted the fat man who was pretending to be asleep, "Are the ropes, Luoyang shovel, and other tools ready?"

The fat man lowered his voice, not daring to make a sound, "Brother Su, don't worry, how could I forget about my livelihood? It's all prepared long ago!"

"it is good…"

Su Mo nodded in satisfaction, "That's good. Be careful not to wake them..."

The two of them tiptoed away from the archaeological team.

Outside the camp, Old Hu had been waiting for a long time. When he saw Su Mo and Fatty, he waved and called out, "Hey bro, Fatty, over here!"

Su Mo and the fat man quickly walked forward.

Old Hu took out his compass, "I haven't been idle either..."

"I've found the entrance to the tomb!"

As he spoke, Old Hu led Su Mo and the fat man to a dry well. "The compass shows that this is the entrance to the tomb!"

Su Mo praised, "Old Hu... did a great job!"

Fatty had also tied up his ropes. After many rounds of practice, their team had finally become a highly efficient and fast tomb-raiding machine for this trip to the Jingjue Ancient City.

"go!"

Su Mo, carrying his equipment, jumped down into the well, with Lao Hu and Fatty following closely behind.

Having landed safely, Su Mo lowered the rope and immediately spotted the tomb door inside the dry well. He gave Old Hu and Fatty a wink, and the three of them together pushed open the main door of the tomb chamber.

"Boom!"

A dull sound rang out, and the tomb door, sealed for a thousand years, welcomed visitors for the first time.

Inside the tomb passage, it was pitch black. Su Mo scanned the passage with his golden eyes and then reassured Lao Hu and the other man, "Don't worry, there's no danger!"

As he spoke, Su Mo went inside, with Old Hu and Fatty following closely behind him.

"Cum clap clap!"

The three hadn't gone far when all the white phosphorus lamps in the tomb chamber spontaneously combusted.

Seeing the fat man's nervous expression, Su Mo explained, "It's nothing, some air came in, and the white phosphorus reacted with the oxygen..."

The fat man swallowed hard, then pointed to both sides of the stone pillar. "I understand the logic, but those are..."

Following the fat man's gesture, Su Mo looked and discovered that the stone pillars on both sides were covered with countless white bones.

Su Mo chuckled to himself.

Old Hu also mocked, "Fatty, you've seen the mass grave of ten thousand people in the Nine-Story Demon Tower, are you scared now?"

The fat man blushed and said, "What are you afraid of? I am a great proletarian fighter!"

Su Mo activated his Golden Eyes, scanned his surroundings, and finally found the location of the tomb's mechanism in an open space.

"You two, stand back a bit..."

Su Mo grabbed the iron rings on both sides with both hands and easily pulled up the stone slab by using his immense strength.

The fat man was used to Su Mo's innate superhuman strength, but Old Hu, looking down, suddenly said, "That should be the main burial chamber; the coffin of the tomb's occupant is inside..."

Su Mo glanced down, and after confirming it was safe, he jumped down, with Fatty and Lao Hu following closely behind.

Inside the main tomb chamber, the lights were bright, and the walls were adorned with exquisite murals.

Old Hu carefully examined it with a hand lamp.

The fat man scratched his head and asked, "Old Hu, what does it say up there?"

Old Hu, acting as the class representative, volunteered to answer Fatty's question, "The owner of this tomb is called Prince Gu Mo, and he was often bullied by the Queen of Jingjue..."

"Legend has it that the Queen of Jingjue possesses unfathomable abilities; she can make a person disappear with just a glance!"

"Later, Prince Gumo received guidance from a master and poisoned Queen Jingjue with poison..."

Su Mo was already very familiar with the background story of Ghost Blows Out the Light, so he didn't pay attention to the murals, but instead focused on the coffin in the tomb.

"Brother Su..."

After admiring the murals, Lao Hu noticed the coffin in the tomb chamber and immediately asked, "Do you need me to light a lamp?"

Su Mo shook his head, quickly stepped forward, and forcefully pushed open the stone coffin.

Suddenly, glittering jewels filled the tomb chamber. "Wow!"

The fat man stepped forward and exclaimed, "We've struck it rich this time!"

The coffin was filled with antique jewelry, which still surprised Su Mo, even though he was prepared.

Although Lao Hu was well aware of Su Mo's skills, the fact that a tomb raider like Su Mo didn't light a candle made Lao Hu feel like he was being scratched by a cat.

To prevent the corpse from rising from the dead, Su Mo had the Crimson Sky Sword in his hand beforehand. If the corpse made any unusual movements, he would not hesitate to cut off its head.

Su Mo said to Old Hu and Fatty, "Take the treasure!"

The two looked excited, "Alright!"

And so, the three of them quickly collected the treasures from the coffin.

"go!"

Seeing that the corpse had not changed during this time, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

The fat man laughed loudly, "I'm rich! I'm rich!"

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the selected task! Strength permanently increased by 10!]

As his internal energy surged, Su Mo discovered that his strength had reached 105.

"Go, go back!"

Su Mo led Lao Hu and Fatty back the way they came. Just after they left the tomb chamber, Su Mo completely sealed the tomb door.

After emerging from the dry well, the fat man gazed at the full moon in the sky and blinked. "That simple?"

Old Hu chuckled, "It's that simple!"

Indeed, compared to the Savage Valley and the Kunlun Glacier, the group barely had to exert any effort at the Tomb of Prince Gumo, yet the harvest this time was the greatest!

Su Mo said solemnly, "I will find a safe place to hide these treasures, and the archaeological team will definitely not find them..."

Old Hu and Fatty trusted Su Mo quite a bit, so they didn't say anything.

Su Mo looked at the two of them and earnestly instructed, "This matter must not be known to the archaeological team!"

"Don't worry, Brother Su!"

The fat man patted his chest and said, "I, Fatty, may not have many other skills, but I'm good at keeping my mouth shut!"

Old Hu scoffed, "Keep bragging, you big mouth..."

The fat man became enraged, "Comrade Hu Bayi, how can you talk like that? I'm your revolutionary comrade... A great man once said, 'We come from all corners of the country, for a common cause...'"

"Damn it!"

Old Hu quickly begged for mercy, "You're right, Brother Su, we should go and rest, it's getting late!"

"it is good!"

Su Mo nodded in strong agreement, "Go to sleep!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Another Large Tomb?

Yesterday, the archaeological team was delayed in searching for a water source. Therefore, in order to find the ruins of the ancient city of Jingjue as soon as possible, Shirley Yang woke everyone up before dawn, and the archaeological team embarked on their journey again.

Yellow sand swirled in the air with the wind, the sound of camel bells echoed across the desert, and the scorching heat was suffocating.

"Yawn~"

The fat man lay sprawled on the camel, looking utterly listless.
