Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 166 The Stingy Royal Palace and the Underground River

"Haobo, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."

"Oh! It's nothing."

Ji Haobo shook his head, put away his long sword, and turned to look at Lao Hu.

"There must be some kind of mechanism or pattern to those stone carvings over there. Lao Hu, go see if you can figure out how to trigger it. If not, I'll find an entrance and force it open."

Old Hu was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly lit a torch and went over to check. Yang Xueli and Laura were also studying it beside him.

Only Fatty Wang stared at the jade eyeball. He wanted to pick it up and try it, but he was worried about triggering a mechanism. He reached out his hand but dared not touch it, looking constipated and conflicted.

What are you doing here?

Ji Haobo walked over and easily picked up the jade eyeball. He didn't trigger any mechanism, and there was no connecting hole at the bottom.

As for why the jade pendant can be inserted into the groove and twisted, it's simply because the two items were originally one piece and are now perfectly fitted together, making it impossible to remove them.

"Brother Bo, let me see those big eyes!"

Fatty Wang was so shocked when he saw him pick up the things so casually that his jaw almost dropped.

Ji Haobo rolled his eyes, shook his head, and teased:

"What are you looking at! This is an object that can activate a curse. What if the Snake God secretly attacks you? Heh..."

"Uh... well... never mind then, I won't watch it, I'm not watching it!"

Wang Pangzi was startled and waved his hands repeatedly in fear, though he didn't know if what Bo Ye said was true or false.

But that eye that suddenly appeared above my head just now wasn't fake; it's probably something really strange.

Ji Haobo wasn't lying to Fatty Wang; there were indeed some things about this jade eye that Fatty Wang didn't understand.

He not only didn't get any card-drawing points from touching it, but he also needed 100,000 to turn it into a card, which shows that this is no ordinary thing.

On the other side, Lao Hu circled the stone carving several times, looked at the patterns carved on it, muttered some calculations, and then asked Yang Xueli and Laura to help him try to rotate the stone carving.

"Click"

A series of mechanical sounds came from all around, and with a loud rumble, the ground sank more than two meters down, revealing a dark staircase.

Ji Haobo heard the noise and came over. He felt a faint airflow, but there was nothing unusual about it; it was just ordinary air movement.

“You all follow behind me, but be careful and wary of those Pure Vision Agamas. They haven’t appeared along the way in, which is a bit unusual.”

The group then descended the steps and discovered a sizable rock passage that led not only to the front but also to the back.

"Master Bo, this passageway has one on the left and one on the right, which way should we go?"

Ji Haobo frowned, pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the left.

"This direction should lead to the palace complex above. Let's go check if there's anything to collect, just in case something goes wrong and we miss this opportunity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fatty Wang nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, that ghost cave can't be hidden. Let's go check out the palace first. Everything in there is a treasure; we must secure it first."

The guy's eyes lit up with excitement at the thought of going to the King's Palace.

But after more than half an hour, he was somewhat disappointed. The palace was empty, and there was no large amount of treasure or antiques as he had imagined.

"Damn, it's like those little bastards raided the village, leaving not a single hair behind."

Compared to Fatty Wang's anger and disappointment, Old Hu felt the opposite, because he had thought of something.

"Master Bo, I have a feeling that the Queen of Jingjue must have been prepared for this black sandstorm burying this place, and hid everything in advance."

"Yes! I think about the same thing. The things should all be up ahead, which saves us the trouble of collecting them ourselves."

Ji Haobo originally thought that some things would be left behind, but it turned out that the Queen of Jingjue was not generous at all. She took everything that could be moved or dismantled from the palace.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and go check it out!"

Wang Pangzi, thinking of the vast amount of treasure, prepared to lead the way, but after taking only one step, he quickly turned around and retreated behind Ji Haobo.

He still vividly remembered the miserable state of those unfortunate souls outside, and he didn't want to follow in their footsteps.

Ji Haobo rolled his eyes, too lazy to say anything more about this idiot, and walked straight ahead.

The group quickly returned to where they had started, and after walking another two hundred meters or so, they could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

At the same time, everyone felt a wave of moist air hitting them, and saw a faint glow in the distance.

The group quickened their pace and exited the passage. Countless fluorescent insects swarmed ahead, their dim glow illuminating a vast underground space.

A sizable underground river, churning and flowing, its destination unknown.

They stood in a meandering puddle, where countless insects danced on the surface.

Just as everyone was stunned by this dreamlike scene, a group of uninvited guests, rats, rushed into the water to hunt insects.

This was a real downer for them, but what was even more unsettling was that a large group of Jnaptamaṇas then appeared out of nowhere and swam toward the rats.

"Damn, so those snakes are eating here! Let's hurry and get out of here; there's a stone bridge over there that we can cross."

The situation in the water not only made Fatty Wang's scalp tingle, but the others also got goosebumps all over their bodies.

The group followed the rocky path along the water's edge and soon stepped onto the stone bridge spanning the underground river.

Ji Haobo had some guesses in his mind about why these Pure Vision Agamas did not swim over to attack.

"Master Bo, there's a stone door here."

Old Hu and the others rummaged around for a bit but couldn't find the mechanism to activate it, so they all looked at Ji Haobo, signaling him to begin his performance.

Ji Haobo chuckled and took out the Demon Blade Flowing Fire Thousand Blades, slashing it twice as easily as cutting tofu to break open the stone door.

"Haobo, is there some special material in this knife? It's incredibly sharp!"

Yang Xueli and the others were not unaware of the knife's sharpness, but the fact that it didn't even produce a spark when cutting through the stone door was simply unbelievable.

"That's right. When we killed that snake mother last time, the original longsword was basically ruined."

So this time, I added a piece of adamantium alloy to the recasting. That stuff is not only indestructible, but it can also withstand temperatures of 500,000 degrees Celsius.

Upon hearing this, the group almost doubted their ears. They didn't know how hard the general term "indestructible" actually was, but a temperature of 500,000 degrees Celsius was simply unbelievable.

Keep in mind that the surface temperature of the sun is only 6,000 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature ever reached in the world for smelting is less than 5,000 degrees Celsius.

How is it possible for an alloy to withstand temperatures of 500,000 degrees Celsius to exist? Unless…

Ji Haobo, who was walking in front, knew what they were thinking without turning his head. He turned around seriously and said in a deep voice:

"Now I'll tell you a secret: I am a savior from a higher dimension, and my secondary mission is to bring salvation to you weak humans."

The most important core task is to provide warmth and support to older single women, allowing them to experience the humanistic care of a large family.
