Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Holy crap, such a huge ruby?"

There happened to be a prayer wheel next to Wang Pangzi, and he immediately turned it after hearing Ji Haobo's words.

As a result, a red object slightly smaller than the palm of a hand was revealed, and the others also found several more, only the colors were different.

"Master Bo, could this really be a gemstone?"

Erpang looked at the item that almost everyone had one of, somewhat incredulously. He had naturally seen gemstones before, but he had never heard of one this big.

Ji Haobo took a look and found that the transparency of these things was not very good, meaning that the purity was not high enough.

"These are indeed gemstones, but they're the lowest quality kind. Fortunately, each one is quite large, so they're still worth some money."

Upon hearing that they were indeed gemstones, the two fat men were overjoyed. As for whether they were the lowest grade, that didn't matter. As long as there were enough of them, they were sure to make a profit.

"Come on, let's put this away first, let's hurry up and check ahead, maybe there are even more treasures waiting for us!"

As the group continued forward, a huge underground cavern appeared, and under the beam of their flashlights, a massive tower-shaped structure came into view.

"Damn, that should be the main burial chamber's palace up ahead. It's built in a tower shape, so it must be something special inside."

Fatty Wang is a cunning fellow. He knows that in the final part, he won't reveal the traps, so it wouldn't be surprising if a zombie suddenly jumps out at any time.

Therefore, he quietly approached Ji Haobo, following the example of Lao Hu and the others who were standing nearby.

Seeing this, Ji Haobo's face darkened, and he scolded in annoyance:

"Damn it, you're such cowards. You're all hiding behind me without even seeing a hair. What, are you planning to play tag?"

"Uh...it's just a habit...don't worry, Bo, we'll provide fire support from behind. If anything jumps out, we'll see how we take it down."

Wang Pangzi and his companions were somewhat embarrassed and could only laugh awkwardly, while gesturing with the weapons in their hands as they spoke.

"I don't believe your nonsense, but be careful. Don't touch anything inside. This Himiko is rumored to be very powerful. If you fall for her tricks, you'll be in big trouble."

Ji Haobo didn't want to argue with them, but worried that there might be some virus inside, he still gave them some instructions before walking ahead first.

As they approached the tower-shaped building, they discovered that there was no door leading inside, and what they saw inside was truly astonishing.

The interior space of this tower, apart from the passageways, is filled with coffin-sized cubicles, layer upon layer, densely packed together.

Inside lay rows of mummified corpses, which, apart from being shriveled, showed no signs of decay, and judging from their clothes and outlines, they were all women.

Everyone felt their scalp tingle at the sight, and Richard, based on the information he knew, blurted out a gasp of surprise.

"This...this is the legendary army of a thousand maidservants that Himiko was said to have been sacrificed to save her."

He wanted to get a closer look, but Ji Haobo quickly pulled him away, his brows furrowed, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't touch them. These mummies have been exposed to the air for over a thousand years without decaying. Something's very wrong."

He didn't notice anything else, but despite the large number of corpses present, there was no yin energy permeating the area. It seemed normal, but it was the most abnormal thing.

Seeing his serious expression, the people next to him gripped their guns tightly.

Fatty Wang shrank back and asked in a low voice:

"Something's not right here. Are they going to rise from the dead?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Zhang Menzi, who was standing next to him, blurted out the answer.

"Yin energy? There's no yin energy here!"

He also noticed something was wrong, and silently placed his hand on the knife, warily scanning his surroundings.

The group, reminded of the previous tombs, suddenly realized that they were all filled with eerie and sinister energy.

"Master Bo, do you think there's a huge thing inside that's absorbing all the yin energy?"

When Lao Hu spoke, he glanced at the white hairy thing, because this little thing could absorb yin energy.

Ji Haobo shook his head and looked ahead in the passage:

"No, I sensed something filled with extreme yang energy suppressing things at the core of this tower."

Although the unknown entity's extreme Yang power was very well contained, he still managed to sense it after it entered.

"hiss…"

Everyone was startled at first, then Fatty Wang's eyes lit up as he excitedly muttered:

"What could possibly suppress the yin energy emanating from so many corpses? Wouldn't that be an unparalleled divine artifact?"

"Damn, it has to be Fatty, his brain is just as smart as mine."

Erpang realized what was happening and quickly gave a thumbs-up in praise, then excitedly rubbed his hands together.

"Brother Bo, if we had that magical artifact, we could just put it in front of the coffin when we went into tombs, and those zombies would rise from the dead! Hehe..."

Seeing their self-assured expressions, Lao Hu rolled his eyes and poured cold water on their enthusiasm.

"With your two clever minds, why don't you think about this? This place needs a divine artifact to suppress it, how can things be simple?"

"Uh...this..."

The two fat men were stunned and involuntarily turned to look at Ji Haobo.

"Alright, whatever the case, let's go in and take a look first."

Ji Haobo naturally wanted the divine object, but he needed to go inside and figure out the situation before acting accordingly.

As the group walked through the passage, they soon arrived at the central area.

The space here isn't very big, except for the numerous murals on the surrounding walls;

Besides the coffin in the middle, there was no gold, silver, jewelry, or anything else.

Apart from Richard and his daughter who went to see the commemorative paintings, everyone else surrounded the coffin.

The coffin was not very big, much smaller than ordinary ones, and only about 1.7 meters long.

It is entirely black with a metallic sheen, and the carvings on it are strange and somewhat incomprehensible.

Surprisingly, when you get close, you can feel a scorching heat emanating from it, like standing next to a furnace, but once you are more than two meters away, nothing unusual happens.

"Master Bo, is this coffin the divine object you mentioned?"

As Wang Pangzi spoke, he reached out to touch it to see if it really had a temperature.

"Snapped"

Ji Haobo slapped his hand and cursed angrily:

"How many times have I told you to wear gloves when touching anything in the tomb? Otherwise, if it's poisonous, you won't even know how you died."

Fatty Wang grinned and shook his hand, then awkwardly chuckled as he took out gloves from his backpack.

Seeing this, some of the people nearby chuckled smugly, with Old Hu laughing the loudest.

He had also talked to the fat guy about it, but the guy wouldn't listen at all.

At this moment, after carefully touching it, Ah Ning turned her head and exclaimed in surprise:

"Haobo, the coffin is only warm, not hot to the touch."

The others, curious, also touched it and found that it wasn't as hot as they had imagined, and there was no risk of burning them.

Ji Haobo placed one hand on the coffin, pondered for a long while, and then slowly said:

"If I'm not mistaken, this coffin should be made from the heartwood of the Fusang tree, one of the four ancient divine trees."
