Chapter 297 I Called People to Negotiate
"I don't need these Corpse Beetle Pills. I still have some here. Besides, the furnace up there is quite nice!"
While everyone was still focused on the Corpse-Eating Pill, Cheng Feng had already set his sights on the Queen Mother of the West's alchemy furnace.
That's why Cheng Feng is considered the true leader of the Unloading Ridge faction.
"A bronze alchemy furnace from thousands of years ago, this thing can be said to be a national treasure. If there are inscriptions on it, the people in the museums would probably take it away."
Hei Xiazi gave a very objective evaluation of the alchemy furnace.
Of all the antiques currently displayed in the Palace Museum, none can rival it.
Its size, age, and historical value are all impeccable.
"It's good to keep it. If there are any residual substances inside, we might be able to replicate the Corpse Beetle Pill through research."
Chen Wenjin readily agreed to Cheng Feng's suggestion to "scrape the ground," as her family didn't have any similar collections yet.
Then, with a single glance from Cheng Feng, the power of exile severed the chains almost instantly.
Before the chains could even fall, the alchemy furnace had already vanished into thin air.
Wow
The clanging of chains echoed in the alchemy room as Zhang Qiling, the black-faced man, vigilantly surveyed his surroundings.
They had sensed something amiss with the terracotta warriors when they entered the alchemy room, and now they feared that a loud noise would cause the terracotta warriors to change.
Suddenly, a loud bang came from behind them.
Looking back, they saw that the entrance they had come from was completely sealed off by a bronze door.
At the same time, all the terracotta warriors in the alchemy room began to tremble, as if they were about to awaken after a long slumber.
"Boss, could you open the door first so we can make a run for it?"
Seeing this, Hei Xiazi just wanted to run away; it would be very unwise to fight these armored terracotta warriors.
"No rush, I'll get someone to talk to them."
Through the "mind's eye" between his eyebrows, Cheng Feng discovered something that others couldn't see.
These human figurines are not reanimated corpses, but are controlled by black-haired snakes that have been awakened.
"Are you still going to call for help now?"
Hei Xiazi looked at Cheng Feng curiously, somewhat anticipating Cheng Feng's next move.
"Of course it's not too late..."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng used the power of his Mirror Transformation ability to bring a huge black-haired snake, over ten meters long, into reality.
This is the Black-haired Snake King that Cheng Feng took from Gutongjing, which is the first generation descendant of that old snake king.
The moment the Black-haired Snake King looked at Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng instantly transported it into an illusion.
Here, Cheng Feng transformed the Black-haired Snake King's consciousness into a younger version of Chen Wenjin according to his preferences.
It's so cute to look at.
"Revered deity, what command do you have summoned me for?"
This time, when the Black-haired Snake King was about to kneel down, Cheng Feng stopped him with a single thought.
He still has his wife's face from when she was a child, so kneeling down is a bit awkward for him.
“It’s a small matter. I’ve discovered your clan here. Let’s see if we can add some fresh blood to your clan.”
Cheng Feng said casually.
He acted on a whim; otherwise, no matter how thick the armor on the terracotta figure was, it wouldn't have been able to withstand the divine ice and boundless karmic fire.
"Thank God for His concern, I will communicate with them now."
Cheng Feng nodded, and then dispelled the illusion.
After regaining consciousness, the Black-haired Snake King flicked its tongue and used the unique pheromones of snakes to communicate with the black-haired snake controlling the humanoid terracotta warrior.
The effect was remarkable; almost all the terracotta figures stopped moving at the same time.
"Boss, this snake looks familiar!"
Black Bear sized up the Black-haired Snake King.
"Black-haired snake, ancient Tongjing."
Before Cheng Feng could speak, Zhang Qiling suddenly recalled some fragments of memory and revealed the origin of the Black-haired Snake King.
"So it's a Black Flying Jet. No wonder it looked so familiar. But this one is a bit too big. I've never seen a Black Flying Jet this big."
As Hei Xiazi and Zhang Qiling were talking, the terracotta warrior began to move.
Then, black-haired snakes crawled out from under the armor of the various terracotta warriors.
At this moment, the Black-haired Snake King turned to look at Cheng Feng.
In the illusion, the Black-haired Snake King bowed to Cheng Feng and said, "God, they are willing to follow me into your divine kingdom."
Please grant my request.
Cheng Feng was not surprised by this result, even though there was a snake mother here that had lived for countless years.
But this snake mother is not a black-haired snake; in fact, the pheasant-neck snake is the snake mother's direct descendant.
Now that they have been recruited by their bloodline leader, the Black-haired Snake King, they won't be ungrateful.
"Okay, gather them around you, and I'll take you back."
The Black-haired Snake King thanked Cheng Feng again, his attitude extremely respectful.
Their lives are much better now than before, with countless rats as their food source.
The big snake eats the big rat, and the little snake eats the baby rat.
Everyone knows that rodents have an incredibly high reproductive rate, so they never lack food.
Cheng Feng had previously planned to move the snake's den out, but the Black-haired Snake King refused in a state of fear and trepidation.
The biggest reason for this is the extraterrestrial meteorite beneath the sacred tree.
Living near a meteorite is very beneficial to the black-haired snake, and before long, the mother snake had grown quite a bit larger.
After escaping the illusion, the Black-haired Serpent King gathered the black-haired serpents in the alchemy chamber to his side.
Cheng Feng sent them all into the imaginary space.
"Now you understand how the boss's wife and I felt, right? Going to the tomb with the boss is like joining a tour group; all we did was look around."
Hei Xiazi put his hand on Zhang Qiling's shoulder and said.
"Isn't this better? It will save a lot of trouble."
Zhang Qiling's calm words left Hei Xiazi feeling helpless, and from this, Hei Xiazi also saw the difference between himself and Zhang Qiling.
After resolving the minor issue in the alchemy room, Cheng Feng also took away the bronze door blocking the entrance.
"There are no other passages in this alchemy room. Let's go back the way we came and find another route."
With that, Cheng Feng led the way toward the exit.
The group followed Cheng Feng's footsteps, and none of them glanced at the precious Corpse Beetle Pill on the stone platform.
The group slowed their pace in the tomb passage, carefully observing every inch of it.
However, even after the group returned to the pheasant's neck storage room, they still did not find any secret passages or mechanisms.
"Perhaps the passage is located inside?"
The tomb chamber where the bodies were stored was cramped, and if there hadn't been no other way to go, none of them would have wanted to go through the blocked-off scene again.
"It's possible. There are so many vines here that there might be a secret passage that we haven't discovered yet."
Chen Wenjin thought for a moment and nodded.
"Then let's go again. Wild Chicken Neck shouldn't have any objections."
Cheng Feng's words were decisive, and the group returned to the granary at Wild Chicken Neck without any objections.
Perhaps out of fear of Cheng Feng, the pheasant neck, which had once again visited the granary, made no move.
They were all hidden in the shadows, allowing several people to come and go as they pleased.
"Another discovery here."
Soon after, Huo Ling, who was following Cheng Feng, spoke up in surprise.
The group gathered around Cheng Feng and saw a stone door in the corner of the wall that had been hidden by vines.
Because it has been unused for many years, the stone door has almost become one with the walls on both sides.
