"Be careful, the mechanism here is still working." Hu Bayi said cautiously.

Just before, the nine people defeated the tomb-guarding puppet, and after a short rest, they stepped into Longling through the stone gate.

After everyone entered Longling, the stone door suddenly closed automatically. From then on, everyone knew that the mechanism inside was still working.

As for the darkness inside Longling after the stone gate was closed?

Just kidding, as the top Dragon Team, including Luo Libella and Hu Bayi, they are all powerful rank-breaking masters. Even in the dark, their vision will not be greatly affected.

However, everyone still cautiously turned on the night vision lights to avoid missing out on unknown risks.

Although Luo Li was familiar with the layout here, he still didn't dare to let his guard down. The biggest gap between ancient and modern people was productivity, but they were not bad in terms of wisdom. In addition, the spiritual energy had not dissipated during that period. With the materials of that period and the joint construction of many masters, he still didn't want to test the power of the mechanism in Longling with his physical body.

This is not fear, nor is it a lack of confidence in one's own abilities, but rather the most basic awe. Anyone who can reach this point is no fool, or rather, the "fools" have died on the way forward.

When everyone shone their searchlights on the road ahead, the holes in the walls on both sides were naturally discovered.

Luo Li smiled, took out an empty box and threw it in front of him. The moment the empty box fell to the ground, the switch here was activated, and dense arrows shot out from the holes in the wall.

"The mechanism is still working. Be careful and don't fall here." Nicole reminded everyone.

Luo Li glanced at the fireplace in the middle of the road ahead. If he was right, that was the core of the mechanism. He turned his head to look at one of the Dragon Group members and said:

"Light that stove."

The target he was looking at was naturally the member of the Dragon Team whose breakthrough ability was fire. Luo Li didn't know his specific identity. His code name for this operation was Chen Wu.

Chen Wu did not hesitate at all. Luo Li was designated as the supreme commander of this operation with absolute command authority.

As a red light appeared in Chen Wu's hand, the dry wood in the stove slowly ignited. Just as Chen Wu was about to end, Luo Li's voice continued to ring out:

"Don't stop, let the fire burn to its maximum."

Although Chen Wu didn't understand what the other party meant, he only had to be responsible for execution. Then he slowly increased his strength, and the flames in the furnace burned violently, illuminating the place.

As the flames illuminated the tomb passage, everyone discovered that the holes in the walls on both sides, from which the arrows had been shot, were slowly closing.

"So that's how it is. Lighting the incense burner can close the mechanism of the tomb passage." Seeing this, Nicole immediately understood. Then she looked at Luo Li in surprise, "How did you know that?"

"Would you believe me if I told you I traveled through time?" Luo Li complained in his heart, but of course he couldn't say it out loud.

Luo Li said solemnly, "I didn't know at first, but then I heard Hu Bayi say that the mechanism here was still working. Then I saw the incense burner on the tomb passage, and I thought there wouldn't be any useless things here, so I wanted to give it a try."

"I didn't expect this to be the core of this place."

Nicole nodded. She naturally knew that the other party didn't know the layout of the place and was just curious.

Then everyone continued to move forward and explore the interior of Longling, while Luo Li was pondering in his mind.

Inside Longling, on the way to the central tomb chamber, there are two bosses guarding the gate. One is the mutated Taotie from underground, and the other is the Yin-Yang Master from the Peach Blossom Spring of the tomb.

He had some ideas about the Taotie underground. It was a Taotie cub locked in the Dragon Mausoleum and controlled by Compney, who used jade potion to turn this mythical beast into a ferocious beast. If he could obtain that cub, this trip would be worthwhile, apart from achieving his goal.

He was extremely wary of the Yin-Yang Heavenly Master. If possible, he really didn't want to fight with him. This kind of being called Heavenly Master was not some deceitful wandering sorcerer, but a powerful person who truly controlled Taoism.

While Luo Li was thinking, Hu Bayi's voice rang out again: "I didn't expect there were two incense burners here."

Luo Li looked up and found that he had reached the center of the tomb passage, where the two incense burners were located.

"It's a bit strange. Anyone who can get here must have known from the beginning that the incense burner is the core of the mechanism. I don't know why the incense burner is placed here." Hu Bayi felt a little strange, but unfortunately no one gave him an answer.

Luo Li also rolled his eyes. He didn't know about this either. Besides, as the last tomb raider, shouldn't you, Hu Bayi, know the layout of the tomb better?

This time, Luo Li didn't need to speak, Chen Wu took the initiative. The two incense burners immediately burned, and the orange flames illuminated the tomb passage.

"Crack, snap, snap."

The holes on the walls on both sides of the tomb passage slowly closed, but a noisy sound of footsteps was heard.

Everyone was secretly alert to what it was, and then some twisted figures surged in the darkness.

As the figures continued to move forward and stepped into the area illuminated by the fire, everyone could see clearly what it was.

"Zombies?"

"Are there still zombies inside Longling?"

"Maybe it's something that was left behind after Compney came in."

……

For a moment, everyone started talking and was a little surprised.

"No, these are not all zombies." After Luo Li killed a Terracotta Warrior zombie, he found that the opponent's body did not dissipate, but fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Through the connecting surface, he could see that the opponent was not a mutated zombie of a living person, but a piece of earth.

Although Luo Li was puzzled by the fact that the door to the dark room was not opened, what surprised him even more was these Terracotta Warrior zombies. How could dead things develop consciousness?

Luo Li's words made everyone look at him, and then they also discovered the abnormality of the Terracotta Warrior Zombie.

"How can this be!"

Nicole's eyes suddenly widened.

"Huh, let's get rid of these zombies first, and then do some research. There must be more than just mechanical devices inside Longling." Luo Li let out a breath and looked at the others.

"OK!"

Nicole made a gesture, and the others opened fire. The attacking zombies were killed one after another and fell to the ground, turning into dust or returning to soil.

There weren't that many zombies in this group, only a few hundred, but it took a lot of effort from everyone.

The zombies inside Longling are much stronger than those outside. Others may not know this, but Luo Li knows it very well. The weakest ones are comparable to the red-armored warrior zombies in Sakura City. They are similar to branches of the plague zombies, but they are also far stronger than the plague zombies and comparable to the golden-armored warrior zombies.

The most powerful ones are the Terracotta Warriors zombies. Although they move slowly, they are extremely resistant to attacks. It is not because of their thick blood that they can withstand attacks, but because of their high defense. They also have good resistance to everyone's elemental abilities.

"Are these Terracotta Warrior zombies really resurrected from the Terracotta Warriors?" Nicole asked while looking at Luo Li who was doing research.

Luo Li pinched the remains of these terracotta warrior zombies after their death and was sure that they were just ordinary terracotta warriors made of clay, nothing special.

"If the Terracotta Warriors are really resurrected, they might be easier to deal with." Hu Bayi said, making everyone look over.

"What do you mean?" Luo Li looked at Hu Bayi, and he also had a terrible guess in his heart.

"If the Terracotta Warriors were revived, there are not many of them in the entire Longling Mausoleum. Most of them are in those pits." Hu Bayi reminded everyone.

Hu Bayi's words made everyone understand something. That's right, if the Terracotta Warriors were revived, it would be easier to solve.

Hu Bayi glanced at Luo Li, who seemed to be somewhat enlightened, and said, "I can sense the power of magic from the corpses of these terracotta warriors and zombies."

"Sure enough." Luo Li felt a chill in his heart. He also had this guess because there was a Yin-Yang Master here.

"It is rumored that there is a special technique in orthodox Taoism that can allow ambitious people to quickly gather a group of people who are extremely loyal and not afraid of rebellion." Hu Bayi said slowly.

"Throwing beans and turning them into soldiers." Luo Li's voice was a little bitter. "These terracotta warriors must be the result of that kind of magic, but it's not limited to beans, it's soil."

"That's right." Hu Bayi nodded. "This is the art of turning beans into soldiers. If I'm not mistaken, there was a Heavenly Master buried with the dead in this Dragon Mausoleum!"

Luo Li wanted to smile and pat Hu Bayi on the shoulder, but he couldn't.

"Sowing beans and turning them into soldiers?" Nicole frowned. As a powerful figure in Kyushu, even if she wasn't familiar with magic, she knew some of the most famous ones. But if that was the case, it was terrifying. She could easily create an army of 100,000, or even more.

Obviously Nicole also understood the seriousness of the matter. If everyone came here to eliminate evil spirits, she wouldn't mind asking for advice in Longling.

But they are on this trip with a mission. Once they are surrounded by these things, they don’t know how long they will be entangled.

"Huh, there's no point in thinking so much now. After all, we're already here." Luo Li sighed, then looked at Hu Bayi and asked:

"You're the only one who's familiar with these things here, regarding magic. Is there any way to solve this? Otherwise, we'll have a headache later."

"You think too highly of me, Mr. Luo. If I'm not mistaken, this was the method used by the Heavenly Master. With my current level of cultivation, how can I compare with the Heavenly Master?" Hu Bayi smiled bitterly. He was very self-aware.

"As for magic, it's not necessarily true that later generations will be stronger than their predecessors. In any dynasty, those who can be called Heavenly Masters have at least achieved the unity of heaven and man. In other words, they are even stronger than you and even these people at their current level."

"Surpassing the lord?" Nicole murmured.

"I'm not quite sure how you classify yourselves, but according to ancient records, the level you are currently at can be regarded as the unity of man and nature. You can sense all kinds of powerful forces and borrow them." Hu Bayi said in a serious tone.

"And a Heavenly Master, even in the most chaotic dynasties, must at least transcend the unity of heaven and man before being called a Heavenly Master!"

Speaking of this, Hu Bayi's eyes were full of longing.
