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

After landing, the zongzi continued walking forward.

With each step it made, and with a pool of green water nearby, it had already approached Su Mo in an instant, but Su Mo's eyes were only on the emerald on the zongzi's neck.

In the brief exchange just now, Su Mo had already tested Zongzi's skills.

If Su Mo wasn't mistaken, this zongzi (rice dumpling) already possessed the skills of an Earth Immortal in its previous life.

This was unexpected for Su Mo, but it made sense upon reflection. After all, the Zhang family had a history of thousands of years, so it wasn't surprising that they could produce a terrestrial immortal.

The rice dumpling sped towards Su Mo, but Su Mo neither dodged nor avoided it. He stood still, calmly watching it. "If you were still alive, I would be somewhat afraid of you. Now that you're a rice dumpling, you still dare to be arrogant?"

As the rice dumpling rushed over, Su Mo raised his hand, picked up the Crimson Blade, and stabbed it fiercely into the rice dumpling's chest.

The zongzi was, after all, a dried-up corpse, with a hollow chest. Although the Crimson Sky Sword pierced through its ribs, it did not cause any damage.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

Seeing the opportunity, Wu Xie raised his pistol and pulled the trigger. Two bullets flew out, but this still did not cause any damage to the zombie. Instead, it aroused the monster's anger.

"Clang!"

Su Mo reached out and tried to cut the zongzi in half, but the zongzi seemed to have anticipated this. In the instant it dodged, its wet hands reached out to pinch Su Mo, making a clattering sound.

There seems to be something in this guy's mouth?

Su Mo discovered something, and with a flick of his longsword, the Crimson Sky Sword "whooshed" and pinned the head of the zongzi to the rock wall. The gushing green liquid almost sprayed onto Wu Xie and the others' faces.

Hehehe!

The eerie laughter continued unabated. The rice dumpling struggled several times, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, it managed to detach its head and charge at Su once more.

The scene before them left Xiao Hua and Wu Xie speechless; they had never seen a rice dumpling with such tenacious vitality.

The rice dumpling, with its long fingernails, instantly brought its hands close to Su Mo's head.

"Master Su, be careful!"

In the blink of an eye, without Su Mo making any move, two cracking sounds were heard, and Zongzi's two wet arms were swiftly severed by him. Immediately afterward, he kicked it, shattering its ribs and crushing its foot bones, leaving green pus all over the ground.

The rice dumpling was completely crushed before it was finally poured back onto the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo reached out and took the thing stained with green water from the broken neck.

Chapter 476: Danger

The rice dumpling was completely crushed before it was finally poured back onto the ground.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo reached out and took the thing stained with green water from the broken neck.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo slowly walked to the head of the mummified corpse and roughly pried open the already sunken mouth.

With a "crack," the mummified corpse's jaw broke off, and something rolled out from inside.

Upon closer inspection, Su Mo discovered that it was a small, square box, quite exquisite, made of Phoebe zhennan wood, without any signs of rot. He shook it, and inside seemed to be a bead-like object, but judging from the sound, it didn't seem to be jade or anything like that.

Su Mo wanted to open it. He was skilled in mechanical arts and didn't take the small box seriously. However, after looking around, he realized that there was no way to open the box unless he smashed it directly.

"Could it be that we're using the wrong method? After all, the Zhang family has a history of over a thousand years and possesses many secret techniques that we're unaware of..."

Wu Xie was worried that there might be something wrong with the box, so he immediately spoke up to remind Su Mo.

Su Mo shook his head. "Who knows? Let's just take it out and see!"

Su Mo didn't think much of it and casually put the box into his system space.

Glancing around, Su Mo said, "A new round of poison gas is about to be activated, let's hurry..."

Wu Xie and Xiao Hua dared not be careless, and Lao Hu and Zhang Yingchuan, having just escaped death, naturally did not want to experience the ordeal of strong alkali again. The group had no choice but to speed up and continue forward.

After such a long escape, Wu Xie was so exhausted that his legs were weak. He was afraid that he would slow down the team because he had the worst physical strength. He drank a couple of sips of water and continued forward, gritting his teeth and enduring the pain in his legs.

He sustained a minor foot injury while protecting the young man and the fat man during a conflict with the men in black from "It Organization".

It wasn't a big wound to begin with, but running under these conditions, he could feel it constantly reopening and bleeding profusely.

"Are you alright? Can you hold on?" Xiaohua had already noticed his wound, but the situation was dangerous now; it wasn't time to stop.

Wu Xie shook his head and said, "It's alright, if I'm going to die, I'll die out there..."

Wu Xie didn't want to die in the Zhang Family Ancient Building. It was a gloomy and eerie place, filled with an evil aura that made people shudder.

Su Mo rushed ahead, and before anyone knew it, several more men in black emerged from the darkness in the corner.

Without a second thought, everyone knew that these people were also members of "Its Organization".

However, the people who appeared now were much stronger than the group of men in black from before. They hid in dark corners where Wu Xie and the others could not see them, and followed Su Mo and his group.

Su Mo led the charge, while the men in black lurked behind; none of them dared to rush to the front.

"Hmph, you're asking for death!"

Su Mo snorted coldly, stopped in his tracks, pulled out a submachine gun from his system space, and began firing wildly.

These people could evade Wu Xie's eyes in the darkness, but they could not escape Su Mo's golden pupils.

Kill them all on sight!

If these people dare to show their faces, they'll be opened fire with a burst of bullets.

"Master Su..."

Chaos warned, "Leave now."

"Da da da…"

While firing, Su Mo said, "Don't worry about me, you guys get out of here quickly. If we don't teach these guys a lesson, they'll become a major threat to us in a while!"

"..."

Wu Xie, Xiao Hua, and the others quickened their pace and left. Before long, they ran through two dark passages and unexpectedly arrived at a very open space.

In this open space, at the entrance to the next passage, stand two enormous pillars on the left and right.

The pillar was covered with tape.

"What does this mean? Why is there tape wrapped around the pillar?" Wu Xie didn't dare to go over. The more he looked at the pillar, the more uneasy he felt.

Just as Xiao Hua and Wu Xie were about to cross the boundary and step into the passage to see the secret on the pillar, Su Mo, who had arrived just in time, suddenly changed his expression and shouted, "Don't move! That's the Grim Reaper's switch!"

Xiao Hua and Tian Wu Xie were startled by Su Mo's shout and immediately stopped in their tracks.

Su Mo is usually calm and composed, and remains calm in the face of any situation. The fact that he is shouting at them like this indicates that there is danger, and it is quite terrifying.

Su Mo said, "This is the switch for death!"

Xiao Hua and Wu Xie's hearts were pounding. They took cautious steps, not daring to make any rash moves.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when they returned to Su Mo's side.

Su Mo said, "Don't touch those tapes. They must have been put there by the funeral procession before!"

Wu Xie was puzzled. "Why is the funeral procession wrapped in all this tape? And, Master Su, what's the meaning of the Grim Reaper's switch?"

Wu Xie wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It seemed he had just narrowly escaped death again. The Zhang Family Ancient Building was definitely on the verge of collapse.

Su Mo explained, "Didn't you notice that these tapes are concave? That means there are holes inside, and they are created by airflow."

"The generation of airflow? Could it be that..."

Wu Xie's mind worked very quickly, and he immediately remembered something, "Could it be that this is actually... the switch for the poison gas?"

Su Mo nodded and hummed in agreement. "This is just one of the switches. In other words, this pillar actually has countless holes, which are the pathways for the poisonous gas to flow..."

"Once the poison gas is triggered, this hole will spew out the gas, and since we're so close, we'll probably die on the spot..."

Upon hearing Su Mo's explanation, Wu Xie's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

If they had torn off those tapes or taken a step forward, triggering some kind of event, they would have truly perished in this ancient family building.

It was like walking on thin ice, or walking on a knife's edge!

Wu Xie swallowed hard. "So what should we do now?"

Su Mo said, "If we want to get through, we must do it as quickly as possible. Once we get through this passage, there shouldn't be any problems!"

"Come with me..."

Su Mo stepped forward again to lead the way for the group, "This floor wasn't listed in the design at all. Could it be that the Zhang family did it on purpose? Actually, the real danger lies in this floor..."

As Wu Xie walked, he said, "One wrong move and you could trigger a deadly trap, and in the end you might end up killing yourself. This move is just too ruthless."

No other complicated mechanisms are needed; this one move alone can torment a person to the point of mental breakdown.

Wu Xie looked at the unconscious Zhang Qiling and said, "Too ruthless! The Zhang family is just too ruthless!"

Su Mo led everyone through the passage to a more spacious area.

The opposite side was also open, but separated by a river.

The river was still flowing, but they couldn't see the end.

There are three arched bridges over the river.

In front of these arched bridges, not far ahead, there was a round platform.

On the round platform, there was actually a coffin bed.

Chapter 477; The Bronze Bell Appears Again

There are three arched bridges over the river.

In front of these arched bridges, not far ahead, there was a round platform.

On the round platform, there was actually a coffin bed.

Wu Xie guessed that there should be a coffin on the coffin bed.

But for some reason, it was completely empty.

There were pillars in the four corners, and curtains hung there. Ropes ran from top to bottom, with one end of one rope hanging right above.

Wu Xie moved his flashlight around and looked around. He asked in confusion, "What's going on here? How come there's a coffin bed here? It doesn't look like a tomb, and where's the coffin?"
