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

"The babies should all be inside..."

Fatty Wang rubbed his hands together excitedly and reached out to open it.

"and many more…"

At this moment, Hu Bayi suddenly stopped Fatty Wang, "Don't move!"

As Hu Bayi stopped the fat man, he also took out a compass from his pocket.

Fatty Wang said irritably, "Old Hu, what are you doing!"

Su Mo explained, "Don't be in such a hurry, Fatty..."

"Master Hu is using a compass to find his direction. 'No tomb raiding until the rooster crows and the lamp goes out'—this is a rule passed down for centuries by the tomb raiders!"

Although the title of "General of the Tomb Raiders" implies that there are no taboos, Su Mo did not stop Hu Bayi from lighting the lamp out of professional ethics.

"It's so comfortable talking to smart people!"

Hu Bayi turned to Su Mo and gave him an approving look.

The rule is: don't touch gold when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out!

Chapter Ten: The Resurrection

"Fatty..."

Hu Bayi, holding the compass, arrived at the southeast corner of the tomb chamber and whispered, "Where are the candles I asked you to bring?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I would never forget what Master Hu instructed!"

The fat man took off his backpack and handed the candle to Hu Bayi as quickly as possible.

"May the ancestral master protect us!"

Lighting the candles, Hu Bayi bowed respectfully to the southeast, saying, "This is my first time tomb raiding; I humbly request the ancestral master to bless my tomb raiding lineage..."

Fatty Wang licked his lips. "Old Hu, stop talking. Hurry up and open the coffin. You're the last surviving member of the tomb-raiding lineage. The patriarch will surely bless you..."

Hu Bayi glared at Fatty Wang, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Brother Su, what's the custom of lighting candles when opening a coffin?"

Yingzi hid behind Su Mo and whispered cautiously.

"what…"

Hu Bayi glanced at Yingzi and explained, "People light candles, ghosts blow out lamps, and when the rooster crows, the lamp goes out—don't touch the gold!"

"This is a rule passed down from ancient tomb raiders, meaning that a candle must be lit in the southeast corner of the tomb chamber before opening the coffin..."

"This is a rule set between the tomb raiders and the deceased: if the candle goes out, they must leave immediately and must not take anything from the tomb."

"That's right..."

Su Mo nodded emphatically, "This is a contract. Breaking this rule will bring bad luck and misfortune..."

"The tomb raiders travel underground and traverse between the living and the dead, and they place particular importance on this!"

"Alright, I'll explain this to you another time. We need to get down to business..."

Su Mo picked up the spiked club from the ground again. "Fatty, Lao Hu, let's open the coffin!"

"it is good!"

Old Hu responded, then took out the entrenching tool behind him and traced it along the seams around the coffin.

"Fatty, go over there..."

Hu Bayi called out to Fatty Wang, "Let's work together and try to take down this coffin lid with the least possible cost..."

"Okay..."

After all, he was the number one tomb raider, so it was understandable to be afraid. However, Fatty Wang was mostly excited. Fatty Wang came to the opposite side of Hu Bayi, and the three of them looked at each other. "One, two, three!"

With his innate strength, Su Mo, along with the two adults Hu and Wang, shouted and blew the dark brown coffin lid off.

"Oh!"

The coffin lid fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Fatty Wang took the hand lamp from his pocket and shone it downwards.

A giant corpse, nearly two meters tall, lay quietly in the coffin, its face covered by a mask, with two ancient jade pieces hanging at its waist.

That's all!

"That's it?"

Fatty Wang blinked. "Isn't this guy a general? How come he's poorer than me!"

Su Mo scanned the giant corpse in the coffin from top to bottom, and the next second, his gaze fixed on the giant corpse's mask.

"Fatty..."

Su Mo said in a low voice, "The mask is worth some money, take it out!"

"it is good!"

The fat man nodded and reached out to remove the mask from the giant corpse.

"Uh…"

The fat man looked down at the two ancient jade pieces on the corpse, pondered for a moment, and then took them off.

"That ancient jade pendant worn by the general must be worth a fortune..."

The fat man, overjoyed, boasted to Su Mo and Hu Bayi, "Look at this, isn't it a treasure? My judgment is never wrong..."

Old Hu picked up a piece of jade and examined it. "It should be worth a few dollars..."

Su Mo laughed, "Your taste needs improvement. The workmanship and materials of this pair of antique jade are extremely rough. They're only worth a few tens of thousands of yuan; they're really nothing special..."

"..."

Hu Bayi exchanged a glance with Fatty Wang, then chuckled sheepishly, "Brother Su wouldn't care about such a small amount of money; we're both penniless..."

"Brother Su, look."

Just then, Yingzi tugged at Su Mo's sleeve and pointed to the candle in the southeast corner of the tomb.

The flickering candlelight seemed to be on the verge of going out.

Fatty Wang forced a smile, "It's nothing...it's not a big problem!"

"Shh!"

As soon as Fatty Wang finished speaking, a chilling gust of wind swept by, and the candle was instantly extinguished.

"........."

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.

"Fatty, you're such a jinx!"

Yingzi was pale and almost in tears.

The fat man grumbled and cursed, trying to cheer himself up, "What a lousy candle! It goes out with a gust of wind, garbage!"

Old Hu glanced around, his face grim. "Fatty!"

Old Hu said, forcing himself to speak, "Put the things in!"

Upon hearing this, the fat man was somewhat displeased. "Old Hu, don't you know our situation? Let us go back? Are we supposed to starve when we return to Yanjing?"

"Fatty..."

Yingzi's lips trembled, "Please, just put it back, please, this place is a bit eerie..."

The fat man looked at Su Mo, hoping he would say something fair, "Brother Su, there's no reason to easily send back a treasure we finally got our hands on..."

Su Mo steadied himself and said calmly, "The General of the Tomb Raiders has no taboos; we don't have that many concerns..."

"Don't worry, even if there are zombies, I can protect you..."

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the coffin in the center of the tomb began to shake violently.

"not good…"

Hu Bayi's face trembled. "The corpse has risen..."

"boom!"

A figure flew out of the coffin and attacked Su Mo and the others directly.

"Humph…"

Su Mo snorted coldly, dragged the spiked club in his hand, and forcefully pushed it forward.

"Cum clap clap!"

The giant shadow staggered backward until it crashed into the wall behind it and came to a stop.

At this moment, everyone could see the giant shadow clearly; it was the corpse that had just been lying in the coffin.

Having been influenced by socialism, they had never seen anything like this before. Old Hu, Fatty, and Yingzi were dumbfounded and stood motionless.

He was clearly quite frightened.

Chapter Eleven: Su Mo's Strength

"Zongzi!"

Hu Bayi's mind was in complete chaos. "A giant zombie!"

"..."

The giant corpse stared expressionlessly at Su Mo and the others, its eyes radiating a fierce light that seemed to come from hell, possessing a soul-stealing power. Hu Bayi and the other two dared not meet its gaze.

"Brother Su..."

The fat man's voice trembled, "You guys talk to it and I'll return the things. Don't fight, let's keep things peaceful..."
