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

You can vaguely see something.

Shirley Yang said, "There seems to be a mummified corpse down there!"

The fat man quickly asked, "Is it the Prince of Xian?"

Su Mo nodded: "That's right, it's Prince Xian!"

Old Hu was both surprised and delighted. "This indentation is one of the eye sockets of this aconite coffin. At the same time, it is also an auspicious location in the feng shui of the King Xian's tomb. This old King Xian is truly extraordinary!"

"To achieve immortality for a thousand years, they actually placed themselves in this position..."

At this point, the Aconitum carmichaelii underwent another mutation.

The once perfectly intact flesh wall now looks like countless rice dumplings trying to rush in.

Fortunately, the aconite meat was quite resilient; however, some humanoid skeletons appeared on the meat walls, seemingly trying to break in.

It felt very eerie, as if these things were about to break through the flesh and enter at any moment.

"Roar!"

The zongzi roared, hissed, and bared their teeth and claws, startling the fat man who was studying the King of Xian.

The fat man, seeing the strange change in the fleshy wall, exclaimed, "Look! There are human bones in the wall! How can there be human bones in the aconite fungus?"

Su Mo pondered, "Perhaps these are the nearly one million farmers and craftsmen who built the Heavenly Palace and the Earthly Tomb. King Xian sealed them all here to be used as fertilizer for the Aconite Fungus..."

Shirley Yang said, "So that's how these people died. No wonder there are so many vengeful spirits down there. This Prince Xian is truly hateful!"

"Brother Su..."

The fat man cried out in terror, "We need to hurry! Otherwise, we'll either be eaten by the meat-like fungus or pierced to death by these bones..."

Although the tomb-raiding trio was somewhat flustered in this situation, Su Mo remained calm. He drew his longsword with a swift motion. "Old Hu, you go down and retrieve the Muchen Pearl. Bring up everything from the King of Xian's body. Fatty, Staff Officer Yang, you two help Old Hu..."

Su Mo turned around and looked at the menacing zombies. He slashed them one by one with his sword, as easily as slicing a watermelon, leaving pus all over the ground.

"Fatty, grab my leg!"

Old Hu crawled into the small hole in the ground, Fatty pulled on Old Hu's leg, and Shirley Yang was at the very back, struggling to pull Fatty along.

Old Hu lowered half his body to the ground and began groping on the corpse of the King of Xian.

After searching for a while, he still couldn't find any trace of the Muchen Pearl.

Old Hu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely!

suddenly!

Old Hu noticed that the Prince of Xian's mouth was slightly pursed, as if he were holding something in his mouth.

Old Hu didn't have time to think too much. He forcefully pried open the King Xian's mouth and pried out a bead.

Although he didn't know what the Muchen Pearl looked like, Old Hu was certain that this was the Muchen Pearl that everyone had been searching for.

"Found it! Pull me up!"

"Found it! Pull me up!"

"Fat!"

Chapter 93: Emerging from the Tomb

"Fatty..."

With the Muchen Pearl in hand, Old Hu was overjoyed and shouted, "Quick...quick, pull me up!"

Hearing the joy mixed in with Lao Hu's excited voice, Fatty knew that the Muchen Pearl had been obtained, and immediately said, "Officer Yang, pull it quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Sherry Yang and Fatty worked together to pull Old Hu out of the pit.

Seeing that the three had succeeded, Su Mo leaped up and landed on top of Old Hu. He scanned the bead in Old Hu's hand with his golden eyes, and after confirming that it was the Muchen Bead, he said, "Go quickly!"

"it is good!"

Under Su Mo's cover, the four of them quickly retraced their steps and crawled out of the hole in the fleshy spirit mushroom.

Su Mo was the last to leave. He stood up and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

The fat man shook his head. "It's nothing!"

Old Hu stared gravely at the rapidly growing fleshy Ganoderma lucidum. "We can't let this thing grow any further..."

"Simple!"

Su Mo smiled, flipped his right hand, and two packs of grenades appeared in his hand. "Get out of the way!"

The three men, including Lao Hu, quickly hid on the ground.

Su Mo pulled the safety pin off the grenade and threw it directly into the hole of the meat spirit mushroom.

"Boom!"

A black mushroom cloud surged, and the meat-shaped Ganoderma lucidum was instantly blasted into pieces, with chunks of meat flying everywhere.

When the smoke cleared, the four of them came out and saw the meat-shaped fungus that had stopped growing and the pieces of meat all over the ground. They knew that the fungus was dead.

Along with it perished, King Xian's illusory fantasy of becoming an immortal also vanished.

The fat man looked at Old Hu and asked, "Old Hu... the Muchen Pearl?"

Shirley Yang also looked at Lao Hu nervously.

The Zaglama tribe has been searching for this Dewdrop Pearl for over a thousand years, spanning dozens of generations, and has explored countless ancient tombs.

This is the closest we are to the Muchen Pearl.

Under the hopeful gaze of Fatty Shirley Yang, Old Hu extended his right hand.

The fat man quickly shone his flashlight on it.

Old Hu slowly opened it. A bead appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Muchen Pearl, a genuine Muchen Pearl.

Old Hu, Fatty, and Shirley Yang all burst into laughter.

"It's saved!"

The three embraced and wept, a huge weight finally lifted from their hearts.

"Boom!"

At this moment, the surrounding caves began to shake violently.

Su Mo said urgently, "Hurry, this underwater cave is about to collapse..."

The three of them, Lao Hu and his companions, dared not be careless. They quickly put on their diving gear and followed Su Mo as he ran outside.

boom!

As soon as the four left, the stone wall cracked, the river water flooded in, and stones fell off, making the entire tomb of King Xian teeter on the verge of collapse.

.........

The four swam for an unknown amount of time before Su Mo was the first to pop his head out.

"Hoohoo!"

Su Mo took deep breaths of the fresh air.

Upon seeing the commotion on the water, the chieftain of Zhelong Village quickly stood up, asking, "Are you all alright?"

"Whoosh!"

Old Hu, Fatty, and Shirley Yang emerged from the water one after another. Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the three of them were safe and sound. "We're alright, we're fine!"

Su Mo and the other three were helped ashore by the villagers of Zhelong Village.

Su Mo took out some food from the system space, and a dozen people gathered around and ate a simple meal.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Ada said, "Brother Su, Brother Hu, shouldn't we be going now?"

Su Mo pondered, "That's true, we should go back!"

Picking up their weapons and loading bullets, Su Mo, along with Lao Hu and the other two, as well as the people of Zhelong Village, officially embarked on their return journey.

Just like in the original story, on their way back, the group encountered humanoid monsters again.

This time, Su Mo took the initiative to attack, with agility of 100 and strength as high as 150. These astonishing and terrifying data have brought Su Mo close to superhuman.

Su Mo was like a god descended to earth, able to kill a humanoid monster with a single punch. With the help of Lao Hu and the Zhelongzhai clansmen, the team pinned the humanoid monster to the ground and taught it a lesson.

Even Su Mo was astonished by the speed at which the group was advancing.

In just a few minutes, nearly a thousand monsters were slaughtered.

With the monsters wiped out, the journey home was no longer dangerous. The group first left the Mountain God Temple, and then returned to Zhelong Village through the Insect Valley.

.........

Inside Zhelong Village.

Several members of the Zhelong Village clan left in a hurry to deal with the problems of the deceased clansmen.

Since they were outsiders, Su Mo couldn't interfere in the village's affairs. It was best to let Ada and the other surviving Zhelong Village people handle the negotiations.

Su Mo and the other three returned to Ada and Kong Que's house. They each washed and dressed themselves.

Sure enough, not long after, Ada brought the peacock back.

When Shirley Yang saw Peacock return, she quickly asked, "Peacock, are you alright?"

The peacock shook its head. "It's alright. The tribe said it wasn't entirely my fault. So they released me..."

Su Mo said, "No matter what, thank you for showing us the way. Otherwise, our trip wouldn't have been so smooth."

Then, Su Mo looked at Ada and Kongque, "Would you and your sister be willing to come to Yanjing with us?"

Times have changed. The theme of China today is reform and opening up, the era of commodity economy. Su Mo wants to become the biggest antique dealer in China, but apart from Lao Hu and his two companions, he has almost no one else he can use.

Peacock and Ada, the siblings, had done Su Mo some favors, and Su Mo knew their character well; neither of them were bad people, so he decided to recruit them.

"what?"

Upon hearing Su Mo's words, Ada and Kong Que were both taken aback.
