Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 243 The Crimson-Clad Ghost? A Giant Cauldron Cooking a Corpse

"puff"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Seeing this, Ji Haobo and the others burst into laughter.

"This is not the tomb of King Xian, it's just a Minglou (a type of ancient Chinese tower), so it's normal that there's no coffin here."

However, as you know, this place is called the Hall of Immortals, so in order to entertain the immortals, King Xian prepared the highest-level ceremony: cooking the corpse in a giant cauldron!

Moreover, it was the local chieftains who went to great lengths to preserve it by covering and sealing it with paraffin wax!

Just as they were talking, the sound of clothes fluttering suddenly came from the main beam of the rear hall.

The crowd was startled by the noise, but before they could turn around to look, another burst of laughter rang out.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

The laughter was eerie and ethereal, with an unsettling quality that seemed to come from afar and then return, sending chills down one's spine.

Ji Haobo frowned and looked up at the main beam. He saw a figure wearing a strange mask and a bright red robe, floating ghost-like on the crisscrossing beams.

"Holy crap, a red-clad ghost? I heard those things are super ferocious!"

Fatty Wang's expression changed, and he nervously grabbed Lao Hu's hand and shrank behind Ji Haobo.

"And it even laughed. Blind Chen once told me he'd rather hear a ghost wailing than a ghost laughing, so this ghost is definitely a ruthless character."

When this guy said that, Lao Hu instinctively became a little nervous, because he had heard those kinds of rumors before.

As for Yang Xueli and Laura, they weren't afraid, but Zhang Haixing nervously clung to Ji Haobo's arm.

At the same time, after the ghost appeared, the surrounding walls suddenly rotated, completely blocking the imperial path leading to the rear hall.

Beneath the bronze cauldron, an opening had appeared at some unknown time. The flames spewing from it caused the paraffin inside the cauldron to melt visibly, and thick black smoke rose from it.

In addition, on the screen wall behind the throne, a dragon-shaped relief spews silver liquid from its mouth, and after it falls to the ground, visible mist rises.

All of this has been said, but it all happened in the blink of an eye.

"Oh no, that's mercury! If it comes into contact with a flame, it will definitely evaporate and vaporize in large quantities, forming a highly toxic gas."

Yang Xueli's expression changed, and she looked anxiously at Ji Haobo.

She wasn't worried about being poisoned, but rather about the vaporized mercury drifting out and polluting the surrounding land.

"Don't worry, they're just some underhanded tactics."

Ji Haobo raised an eyebrow, waved his hand dismissively, and reached out to grab at the screen wall.

Suddenly, an invisible suction force appeared, and the mercury flew into the air and formed a sphere.

"Wow! Telekinesis, the Star-Absorbing Technique? Awesome!"

Just as Fatty Wang was surprised, the figure on the beam couldn't hold back any longer and floated towards the group like a ghost, moving so fast that it left a red afterimage.

Ji Haobo was about to make a move, but Laura emitted a faint white light and directly swung her fists and feet to meet her.

Having experienced her previous adventure and through her recent efforts, her bloodline power has been significantly enhanced.

In fact, it wasn't just Laura; Yang Xueli was the same, with her number of Dapp Ghost Bugs increasing several times over.

As the paraffin inside the giant cauldron melted completely, more than a dozen illusory figures emitted thick black smoke and flew out.

Before they could wreak havoc, hundreds of Dapu ghost insects flew out from a ring on Yang Xueli's hand.

This is a spatial ring that Ji Haobo made using a diamond ring and a large-space enchantment card.

When Yang Xueli received the ring, she was overjoyed, and the other women were extremely envious, clamoring to ask Ji Haobo for one too.

Finally, after repeated assurances and promises, they were able to calm them down.

Enough of the small talk. At this moment, after the Dapu Ghost Worm came out, it instantly transformed into small fireballs of boundless karmic fire and floated towards the dozen or so phantoms.

Zhang Haixing watched with extreme envy, for she had no bloodline and no phoenix pattern on her body.

After all, as a hidden sixth member, it's impossible to have a tattoo that would easily reveal one's identity.

"Brother Bo, I also really want to have bloodlines."

As the saying goes, one can understand the meaning behind a song. Ji Haobo naturally understood what she meant, but he really couldn't do anything about it now. He could only hope that he could draw a Bloodline Pill in the future.

"Mmm! The weather is so nice."

The nonsensical remark almost made the people around them burst out laughing.

Zhang Haixing rolled her eyes and pinched his waist.

Ji Haobo didn't take this to heart, and looked at Laura with admiration:

"Wow! Her movements are swift and agile, fluid and graceful. Laura has improved a lot!"

He wasn't completely changing the subject; he was stating a fact. Laura was radiating a soft white light, her feet constantly shifting as she chased after the red figure, trying to grab it.

Unfortunately, she was still a bit slow. The red figure was very strange, with no discernible rules about its shape, and it looked exactly like a piece of clothing moving.

Whenever Laura finally managed to catch it, after being burned by her blood and qi and emitting a puff of smoke, it would instantly slip away.

After a short while, Laura, sweating profusely and looking furious, stepped aside.

Because she couldn't hold on due to the surge of her vital energy, while the red figure was largely unaffected.

"Hoo hoo... Bo, you have to avenge me! That red ghost can not only run, but it's also incredibly slippery. Every time I try to catch it, it gets away."

"Hehe...this means you still need to work harder, keep it up!"

Ji Haobo smiled at her with a meaningful encouragement, then turned to look at the elusive red figure and slowly extended his left hand.

The golden light that erupted from his blood and qi formed a giant hand phantom, which easily grabbed him.

As billowing smoke rose, only the mask and red robe remained; nothing else was left.

Ji Haobo didn't actually know what this thing was, but he wasn't interested in finding out.

After all, something that can be easily killed is useless no matter how strange it is, and there's no need to bother studying it.

On the other side, the fireballs formed by the Dapu Ghost Worms merged together instantly as they flew toward the phantom, annihilating one on the spot.

The enhanced Boundless Karmic Fire immediately multiplied, and in this way, the last of the phantoms were burned away, and the number of Dapu Ghost Insects doubled again to more than two hundred.

"Awesome, so awesome!"

Zhang Haixing watched as Yang Xueli waved her hand to put away the Dapu Ghost Worm, his envy evident in his expression.

Seeing this, Ji Haobo was afraid that the woman would cause trouble again, so he quickly used a diversion technique.

"You guys hurry up and look around for any traps or mechanisms, or I'll have to break down the door."

Otherwise, the smell of human flesh cooked thousands of years ago would be too disgusting.

His reminder caused the others to change their expressions. They suppressed the churning in their stomachs, covered their noses, and separated to search for any mechanism that might not even exist.

At this moment, the mercury flowing from the screen wall also disappeared. Ji Haobo found several large buckets in his spatial storage and collected the mercury sphere that had been suspended in mid-air.

Then he walked to the bronze cauldron, and the Candle Dragon stretched out its head and spewed out a ball of flame, burning away the filth inside the cauldron.
