Chapter 89 Ancient Tomb
Chapter 89 Ancient Tomb
In Ancheng, a hundred miles away in the mountains, lies an ancient tomb that has not yet been excavated.
The moment Xia Xue's Origin Tracing Technique broke through the barrier and traced back to the Netherworld Master, the Netherworld Master suddenly opened his eyes in the bronze coffin in the center of the ancient tomb.
"They're here so quickly?!"
The shaman turned his head and glanced at the broken bone fragments beside him, then sighed.
"As expected, the treasure is good, but it's too badly damaged, so its defensive effect is limited."
It's fine for dealing with ordinary Xuan Masters, but it's still a bit lacking when it comes to dealing with that terrifying being who silently took control of the Crimson Lotus Space and wiped out the entire Netherfire Elders Council in an instant.
"Fortunately, I didn't have any illusions beforehand and made preparations in advance."
Just then, the master of the underworld's expression suddenly changed.
"How did you get here so quickly?"
The opponent had just deduced his location when they appeared in the ancient tomb where he was hiding.
"Is this a spatial ability, or a spatial supernatural power?"
Either way, it demonstrates the strength and difficulty of the person who came.
Xia Xue looked around the ancient tomb.
"The feng shui here is actually that of an imperial tomb?"
Xia Xue traced the source for a moment, then shook her head.
"It's been too long. All we know is that it was a dynasty with Hu (non-Han) blood more than a thousand years ago."
If Xia Xue had more historical knowledge, the results of tracing the origins would be more accurate.
Precisely down to the specific dynasty, and even the emperor.
"The feng shui here has some styles from the Central Plains as well as some styles from the Hu people, which is interesting."
The feng shui secrets that Xia Xue obtained are mainly based in the Central Plains.
We only have a slight understanding of the feng shui practices of the Hu people, and know very little about them.
"One Dharma is accessible and all Dharmas are clear."
Although Xia Xue was only proficient in the feng shui of the Central Plains, the principles remain the same, and the feng shui of the Hu people could also be deduced.
It just takes time.
Clearly, the occultist hiding in the shadows wouldn't give her time.
"They're here!"
……
"Fatty, are you sure there's an ancient tomb here?"
In the forest above the ancient tomb, three fully equipped figures looked around.
The only girl among the three fiddled with the instrument in her hand for a long time, but found nothing, and couldn't help but raise a question.
The fat man held up three fingers and said confidently, "Miss Yang, I guarantee it. Last night, I saw with my own eyes a group of zombies carrying coffins disappear in this place. I'm absolutely certain."
Yang Rui pouted and said, "Listen to what you're saying. It all sounds like nonsense. You even swore an oath. Hu Jiu, let's go. There's definitely no ancient tomb here."
Holding a compass and constantly calculating something, a strong-looking man in his thirties shook his head and said, "No, although the feng shui of this place is a bit strange, there is indeed a large tomb."
Upon hearing this, the fat man's anxious heart immediately calmed down. He puffed out his chest and said loudly, "See, I told you there was an ancient tomb here."
Yang Rui could tell perfectly well that even the fat man wasn't sure at first, but Hu Jiu confirmed it, which is why he started shaking.
Are you sure?
Although she trusted Hu Jiu's judgment, Yang Rui still questioned after glancing at the instrument in her hand: "But my instrument always reacted before, but this time it didn't react at all."
Compared to Hu Jiu's metaphysics, Yang Rui is more convinced of science.
Hu Jiu finally stopped his divination, let out a long breath, and nodded heavily: "I'm sure there is indeed a large tomb here. The feng shui of this tomb is a bit strange, and it shouldn't be in the style of the Central Plains dynasties. As for which dynasty it belongs to, we can only determine that after we enter the ancient tomb."
Upon hearing the word "tomb raiding," the fat man's eyes lit up immediately, and he shouted, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go to the tomb!"
Yang Rui gave the chubby man, who was beaming with excitement, a disdainful look.
"Even if you go into the tomb, the contents must be handed over to the state."
Seeing that Hu Jiu didn't object, the fat man's enthusiasm waned considerably. However, he still said unwillingly, "We risked so much to go down into the tomb, we can't be treated badly, can we?"
Yang Rui rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry, the country will give you the honor, and I, Sister Yang, will give you the money. I guarantee you won't suffer any losses."
The fat man then smiled happily.
"Sister Yang is so generous."
They even started urging Hu Jiu.
"Brother Hu, what are you waiting for? The big investor has spoken, hurry up!"
Hu Jiu hesitated before saying, "Although the feng shui of this place is unusual, it is still a large tomb. Logically speaking, the instrument in Miss Yang's hand should have reacted, but..."
The fat man waved his hand dismissively and said, "Machines always break down sometimes, they work sometimes and they don't, it's perfectly normal."
Even Yang Rui agreed with this.
"The instrument does have limitations, Hu Jiu. I trust your judgment. Let's begin."
Now that Yang Rui had made her decision, Hu Jiu didn't hesitate any longer.
"Get your tomb-raiding warrants ready!"
Fatty and Yang Rui quickly took out the Tomb Raider Token, clutched it tightly in their palms, and nervously watched Hu Jiu.
Hu Jiu took out his Tomb Raider Token, activated it with his sword finger, and the token floated in front of him. Hu Jiu's hands were constantly forming hand seals while he was chanting incantations.
"The ancient tomb has an owner, and the tomb raiders have orders."
By imperial decree, I have come to collect it.
Please forgive us for disturbing the deceased.
Peace reigns throughout the land; such merit is immeasurable.
disease!"
As Hu Jiu recited the incantation, Yang Rui and Fatty's Tomb Raider tokens floated up and slowly began to emit a golden halo, gradually increasing in intensity.
With Hu Jiu's final word, "Ji," uttered.
The three men's "Tomb Raider Tokens" instantly emitted a golden light, enveloping them before disappearing from the spot.
"Haha, you're in!"
Before the golden light shield had even disappeared, the fat man shouted happily.
"There really is an ancient tomb here. I knew I wasn't wrong last night, haha."
Yang Rui took a deep, satisfied breath, her face full of ecstasy, and then growled at the fat man who had interrupted her, "Keep your voice down, this is an ancient tomb, don't be so loud."
The fat man waved his hand dismissively: "What's wrong with speaking loudly? Do you think someone in the ancient tomb will respond to me?"
A split second before the golden light shield disappeared, Hu Jiu's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted a warning: "Watch out, there are zombies!"
As the golden light barrier disappeared, the fat man regained his vision and saw a zombie with a black metallic sheen on its body.
Without the protection of the barrier, the three of them instantly released their human aura, like lambs thrown into a pack of wolves. The zombies around them stopped abruptly, sniffing to pinpoint their exact location while attempting to attack in their direction.
Yang Rui roared angrily, "You fatso, you jinx!"
The fat man wailed, "How can you blame me for this?"
Hu Jiu shouted a warning: "These are Black Iron Zombies, be careful!"
Yang Rui immediately took out a pistol from her waist and fired three shots at the zombies that pounced on her.
"Bang bang bang".
Three gunshots rang out.
"Clang clang clang".
It's like hitting metal.
The bullets left three shallow holes in the zombie's body, penetrating no more than half an inch into the flesh.
"Damn it, are the Black Iron Zombies really only one level higher than the Walkers? How come they seem so much stronger?"
The fat man punched away a zombie that lunged at him and roared at Hu Jiu.
Hu Jiu made a hand seal, casting a golden magic seal that directly pushed the black iron zombie that was rushing towards him back several feet.
"Nonsense, one is equivalent to an ordinary person, and the other is equivalent to a Xuan Shi. Tell me, how big is the gap between them?"
Just then, a clear male voice came from above the three of them.
"Interesting, someone actually barged in at this time."
