Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

"Just as you think, this bronze tree has strong hallucinogenic properties. The Ku Kingdom believed that worshipping it would grant wishes, so it was used as a wishing tree by them."

Upon hearing this, Laura immediately realized something and quickly asked:

"Could this... be a manifestation of the Serpent God's realm?"

"Transformation of the realm? What does that mean?"

Wu Xie and the others only knew about the Snake God's Curse, but they didn't know what the Transformation of the Realm was.

"It should be about right. You've also heard the white-haired rat say that Zhu Jiuyin was killed in the heavens in ancient times."

This Zhujiuyin is also called Zhulong, and I'm sure most people know a little about it.

Legend has it that it has a giant eye on its forehead, holds a candle in its mouth, and is thousands of miles long. Its opening and closing marks the alternation of day and night.

The snake god not only has this appearance, but it also happened to fall from the sky into Mount Zaklama, so they are probably one and the same.

Therefore, it is not surprising that the serpent god, who possesses the supernatural power to make illusions real, could induce hallucinations by illuminating the heavenly tree that has been conjured by candlelight.

While they marveled at these things, there was one more thing that sent chills down their spines.

"Brother Bo, what did that big rat mean when it said the world is going to fall into darkness? Does it mean the world is going to end?"

Erpang's question made everyone look at Ji Haobo, wanting to hear if he knew anything, but unfortunately they were just overthinking it.

"This is the second time I've heard this claim. The snake god's clone mentioned it a while ago, and when I came back, I was going to ask if the higher-ups knew about it, but then you summoned me here."

Ji Haobo suddenly looked at Zhang Menzi as he spoke.

Do you remember what's inside the bronze door?

Zhang Menzi calmly shook his head; he had become immune to Ji Haobo's mystique.

"The Bronze Gate also has hallucinogenic properties; those who enter usually come out with no recollection of what happened inside. I only have one thought in my mind: I must enter it every twelve years."

Wu Xie and the others were completely confused. Just as they were about to ask, a chilling aura suddenly filled the wide passage ahead, and they could faintly hear the sound of metal colliding and rubbing.

"Bo, what's that ahead? Ghosts? And what's that clanging sound of armor?"

As soon as Laura finished speaking, Zhang Menzi frowned and shook his head.

"No, it shouldn't be a ghost; I sense the aura of a corpse."

"Should I throw the torch over there and see?"

Because of some kind of magnetic field, flashlights couldn't light up at all, so Erpang and Wu Xie both held torches.

"No need, they're coming."

As Ji Haobo shook his head, five figures fully encased in iron armor and wielding long spears marched in unison.

"This is the Northern Wei's Silent Cavalry, a mute army, each member of which is the elite of the elite, belonging to a young prince who was weak and sickly at the time."

They not only engaged in tomb raiding to dig for treasure and raise military funds, but also wanted to find immortality for the young prince.

Later, they discovered the wonders of the bronze tree and brought the young prince there, thinking it could grant him immortality.

But that unfortunate fellow died halfway there, yet the loyal rider still brought him here and they all committed suicide for him.”

Ji Haobo's explanation impressed the group, but the guys in front of them were about to attack.

"Master Bo, although we admire the loyalty of the Silent Knights, since they have all become ghosts, you should send them on their way quickly!"

As soon as Erpang finished speaking, Bai Maomao hung excitedly on Ji Haobo's neck, looking at him.

"Bo...Bo, Whitey will help you, help you fight the bad guys!"

"Alright, alright, Master's little darling is so good, go! Go!"

Having received Ji Haobo's praise and permission, Bai Maomao kissed him on the cheek, then turned and pounced on the armored warrior of the Unspeakable Rider with lightning speed.

Her body radiated crimson-gold flames, and her exaggerated speed made her appear like a shooting star.

The knight immediately thrust out his spear, but while the dead body was stronger than when it was alive, its agility seemed much stiffer.

"Pfft..."

The two soldiers at the front were instantly pierced through their iron armor by tiny white hands, and ignited by crimson-gold flames.

Her petite figure then dodged the thrusting spear, and with a few quick movements, she easily dispatched the other three.

The bodies of these silent riders were burned, and their outer armor rotted away, leaving only a pile of rubble.

Wow! White Furry, you're amazing!

Laura's praise made the little thing show a proud look, and then it raised its little head to look at Ji Haobo.

"Hehe, of course Bai Mao Mao is amazing, she's my favorite little darling."

“Mmmmm…”

With its squinting, curved eyes, Bai Mao Mao happily rubbed its little head against Ji Haobo's neck. Its adorable appearance made Erpang and Wu Xie wish they could have a little baby like that too.

As the group continued forward, they encountered the Silent Rider from time to time in the passage.

These guys seem to be on patrol. Although they've all been taken down by the white-haired guy, their numbers are clearly increasing, and the number of each team has also increased.

Ji Haobo guessed that this might be because they were getting closer to the place they were guarding.

Sure enough, after searching in the opposite direction and confirming that there were the most riders in one of the passages, the group arrived outside two huge stone doors.

Zhang Menzi went forward to look for the mechanism, and he found it, but the stone door did not react at all.

"The mechanism was destroyed, and the stone gate was completely jammed; this must have been intentional."

Ji Haobo nodded. He guessed that Bu Yanqi had done it himself, because they never intended to come out.

"Boom..."

With two swift strokes, he cleaved the stone door open as easily as cutting tofu, revealing a massive tomb chamber inside.

This place used to be the resting place of the King of She, but now it has been occupied by Bu Yanqi.

The tomb chamber was densely packed with silent riders. In the middle, next to a huge stone coffin, stood a figure resembling a general, holding a long sword and standing motionless like a statue.

The opening of the stone gate startled the Silent Riders here, and intense yin energy and corpse energy surged and rose like flames around them.

"Ah..."

The general let out an angry roar, pointing his long sword at the crowd.

Ji Haobo shook his head and sighed. Before Bu Yanqi could make a move, blue flames appeared on the longsword in his hand and then exploded.

"All things in the universe will turn to ashes..."

"Puff puff…"

A series of rapid, penetrating sounds rang out, and in the blink of an eye, the blue flames turned the Silent Riders to ashes. This terrifying scene once again amazed Erpang and Wu Xie.

"Ah..."

The general was both shocked and furious at the sight, but he was powerless to do anything about it. He knew that he could not stop the newcomers either. After glancing at the stone coffin, he took a few steps without hesitation and unleashed a whistling slash.

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "What's owed has been paid off. You don't owe him anything. Farewell!"

Then, in the blink of an eye, before Erpang and the others could even see clearly, the general was enveloped in blue flames and quickly turned to ashes and disappeared.
