At this moment, a "whoosh" sound was heard, and countless sharp arrows shot out from the wall and attacked everyone.

"Be careful of hidden arrows!" Li Xiangyi shouted, and at the same time waved the sword in his hand, shooting down the arrows shot at himself and Qiao Wanwan one by one.

Everyone also used their skills to dodge the arrows. For a moment, the tomb was filled with arrows flying everywhere, and there was a dangerous situation everywhere.

Fortunately, there were not many arrows, and they were quickly dodged by everyone. They walked into the stone door in shock and found another huge tomb inside.

This tomb chamber is larger than the previous one, but the furnishings inside are very simple, with only a huge coffin placed in the center of the tomb chamber.

At this moment, they suddenly discovered several corpses lying in the corner of the tomb.

"It's the other members of the Fourteen Golden Thieves!" exclaimed Master Wei.

When everyone got closer, they found that the bodies had already rotted and had obviously been dead for a long time.

"How did they die?" Fang Duobing asked.

"It looks like he was killed by someone." Li Xiangyi said.

"Killed by someone?" Everyone felt a chill down their spine when they heard this.

When they walked up to the coffin, they found that the lid had been opened and it was filled with gold, silver and other valuables.

Their eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to pounce on the treasures, stuffing gold bars, jade, pearls, agates... into their arms, fearing that if they were slow, others would get to them first.

Li Xiangyi looked at the group of people in front of him who were blinded by greed and shook his head helplessly.

He coughed lightly, trying to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone, wait a minute!"

However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the noise of the crowd. Only a few people who were closer to him could barely hear what he said, turning around and looking at him impatiently.

"Senior Su Shou," Gu Xinfeng said gruffly, "what do you mean by this? Do you want to keep all these treasures for yourself?"

"That's right," Qiu Tuo beside him also echoed, "We agreed that everyone who sees it gets a share, so why do you want to keep it all for yourself?"

Li Xiangyi smiled slightly and said, "You all misunderstood. That's not what I meant. It's just..."

He paused, looking around the tomb, "But don't you all find it strange? Although there are many treasures here, there is not a single body. This... this is clearly a fake tomb!"

"Fake tomb?" Everyone was stunned, and the greed on their faces suddenly faded a little.

"If a fake tomb has so much treasure," Li Xiangyi continued, "how much more gold, silver, and jewelry must be in the real tomb? Don't you want to go and see it?"

"This..." Everyone looked at each other, undecided for a moment.

"Besides," Li Xiangyi added, "although these treasures are tempting, they are just dead objects after all. The real treasure is probably still waiting for us."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice suddenly rang out: "Well said!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Master Wei striding over. He was a tall and strong man with a resolute face and a pair of piercing eyes. There was an air of majesty in his gaze.

"Everyone," Manor Master Wei said loudly after looking around, "Why are you so anxious to take these second-rate goods? In my opinion, by the time we find the true tomb of King Fangji, I'm afraid your pockets will be full!"

He paused, his eyes sweeping across everyone's face before continuing, "We've reached the end of the tomb passage. The true entrance must be nearby. So, whoever finds the entrance first gets to pick the treasure first! Anyone who wants to make a fortune, it's up to you to figure it out!"

Manor Master Wei's words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly igniting everyone's enthusiasm. They were all eager to try, eager to find the entrance to the true tomb chamber immediately.

"Search! Everyone, search separately!"

"We must find the mechanism!"

"Whoever finds it first will make a fortune!"

The tomb suddenly became lively, with people talking to each other and excitedly sharing their discoveries.

They knocked and hammered, carefully examining every inch of the wall and every corner, hoping to find the mechanism leading to the real tomb chamber.

"There's a secret compartment here!"

"There seems to be a button here!"

"Come and see, there's nothing underneath this tile!"

……

While everyone was busy looking for the mechanism, Fang Duobing quietly pulled Li Xiangyi and Qiao Wanwan into a corner.

"Li Lianhua, Sister Luo, do you find it strange?" Fang Duobing lowered his voice and said mysteriously.

"Look," Fang Duobing pointed around, "most of the mechanical tomb doors here are intact, but how did those seven bodies get thrown out of the tomb?"

Li Xiangyi frowned slightly when he heard this. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if trying to process something. After a moment, he opened his eyes and said, "The easiest way is to throw them out."

"Throw it out?" Fang Duobing was surprised. "How is that possible? We are in the tomb now!"

"Don't forget, we are not on the ground now, but on the top of the mountain." Li Xiangyi said lightly.

"On the top of the mountain?" Fang Duobing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "You mean..."

Li Xiangyi nodded and said, "Stretch out your hand and feel the flow of the wind."

Fang Duobing followed his instructions and stretched out his hand, closing his eyes and feeling carefully. He felt a faint breeze blowing from a corner of the tomb. Although the wind was weak, it brought a slight coolness that invigorated him.

"I understand!" Fang Duobing suddenly opened his eyes and said excitedly, "The wind is blowing in from outside, which means there must be an exit outside!"

The three of them followed the direction of the wind and soon found a gap hidden behind the wall. The gap was not big, but it was enough for one person to pass through.

"So that's it!" Fang Duobing said, looking at the gap, "These bodies must have been thrown in from here."

Li Xiangyi carefully observed the edge of the gap and found obvious marks of chopping on it.

He said, "This gap and the door to the fake tomb were both split open by a single palm strike. It seems the martial arts skills of the person behind this are truly unfathomable."

"Split it apart with one palm?" Fang Duobing gasped. "How deep of an internal force does one need to be able to do that?"

Qiao Wanwan couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Yes, this man's martial arts skills have probably reached a superb level."

"No matter who he is, we must be careful," Li Xiangyi said. "Since this person was able to enter the tomb without anyone noticing, he must be someone extraordinary."

"What should we do now?" Qiao Wanwan asked.

"Let's find the real tomb first," Li Xiangyi said. "I want to see what secrets are hidden in King Fangji's tomb."
