Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Ji Haobo looked at the rest of himself, and in a flash appeared in front of him, slamming his right hand down on his head.

The mirror image didn't react at all, or rather, it was sent away with a single palm strike before it could even react.

Combat is not just about the body, but more importantly, about the mind, especially for the stronger the person.

After the two mirror images were destroyed, Ji Haobo and his group continued walking for only a few steps before another mirror image appeared.

However, this time it wasn't just the two of them who came, but a group of people who looked like Zhang Menzi.

Ji Haobo knew without guessing that these were former members of the Zhang family, and they must have all come in with some kind of purpose.

But he never left again, left here by the mirror image, or rather by the Queen Mother of the West.

Indeed, in Ji Haobo's view, these mirror images are all actually the Queen Mother of the West.

This phenomenon might have been difficult to explain in ancient times, but it's crystal clear to modern people.

According to Ji Haobo's speculation, the Queen Mother of the West may have become homogenized with this meteorite, but her consciousness may have been preserved.

Therefore, whenever someone enters, the strangeness contained within the meteorite, under the control of the Queen Mother of the West's consciousness, will replicate that person.

Although his guesses were somewhat far-fetched, after Zhang Menzi rushed over and started fighting, cutting down the mirror images with every strike, they became pretty much the truth.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of them, with long hair and a headdress, her face blurred as if it had been pixelated, and she walked gracefully in a long crimson dress that trailed on the ground.

You are special.

His voice carried an inherent authority, revealing no emotion, yet it was extremely ethereal, as if it were electrified.

"You're the second person to say that; the first one is already my wife."

Ji Haobo smiled and nodded, then, as if remembering something, quickly said:

I remember she said back then: "I've finally waited for you, my man! Don't tell me you're going to say that now too?"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

The figure's laughter, like silver bells, echoed in my ears. Although it sounded like laughter, it was filled with an indescribable loneliness.

"I wish I could say that, but it's too late."

"Oh! What do you mean?"

Ji Haobo took out a cigar and puffed on it; he didn't mind listening to a story now.

The Queen Mother of the West was happy to confide in anyone who was willing to listen, mainly because Ji Haobo was different from others.

"Long ago, there was a tribe that migrated to a secret realm with a sacred mission: to guard the dark passage and to cleanse the dark demons."

But as time went by, the tribe declined from its peak, and in order to fulfill its mission and ensure the tribe's continuation, it had no choice but to contact the outside world.

While the tribe prospered like never before, it also caused many secrets to leak out, attracting the attention of some.

War broke out inevitably. Although the tribe managed to win against a powerful enemy through various means, it was also on the verge of destruction.

However, the enemy did not completely retreat, and in the end, a peace treaty was only reached with them after threatening to protect the secret and paying some price.

Even so, the tribe was already struggling to deal with the dark demons each time;

In the end, I could only enter this meteorite, merge with it, and use its power to suppress the dark passages and cleanse the evil spirits.”

After listening to what she said, Ji Haobo nodded noncommittally.

It's basically a guess that it was King Mu of Zhou and the Zhang family who discovered their secret.

After a fierce battle, neither side gained much advantage. It is estimated that the matter was settled only after negotiations where both sides got what they wanted.

Why did they come here?

Zhang Menzi, who was standing nearby, suddenly spoke up. He was asking about the Zhang family members.

"Some of them have asked you the same question before, and I can tell you the same thing now: it's because of greed!"

You are also a race with a mission, but unfortunately some of you have fallen. You already possess a lifespan of a hundred years, yet you still pursue immortality.

Although the Queen Mother of the West throughout history has also researched immortality, it was merely to gain greater power to protect her mission; immortality was not her ultimate goal.

The Queen Mother of the West's words were surprising, at least that's how Ji Haobo felt.

How come the Queen Mother of the West, who was originally supposed to be inhumanly wealthy and cruelly used countless people for experiments, seems to be being whitewashed?

It turns out that the Queen Mother of the West doesn't refer to a specific person, but rather, like Zhang Qilin of the Zhang family, it's both a name and a title, a kind of honorific that can be inherited.

However, he didn't care about any of that. He was just curious about her, the meteorite, and the snake mother's situation, since it was related to the upcoming meteorite collection.

"I'm taking this meteorite whether you agree or not. As for your so-called mission, I can help you with that."

"That's impossible; no one has that kind of power."

As soon as Ji Haobo finished speaking, he was met with disbelief and opposition from the Queen Mother of the West.

"In ancient times, a meteorite fell from the sky, causing not only the destruction of the world but also opening a passage to the dark world."

Fortunately, the meteorite blocked the passage, preventing the demons on the other side from getting through.

But the power of time is terrifying; Fuxi discovered this place in ancient times.

There were already a few scattered demons left behind when the two worlds overlapped, which is why our race has been able to protect us.

Therefore, without the meteorite, the passage between the two realms would be open, and the demons on the other side would surely swarm in, bringing a great calamity to all living beings.

The Queen Mother of the West was somewhat agitated at this moment, but that was understandable.

After all, their clan had given everything to protect this place.

Therefore, for the Queen Mother of the West, this was no longer a simple matter of protection and mission, but an obsession.

As she said, the Queen Mother of the West throughout the ages researched immortality in order to gain greater power to protect her mission.

But they failed to see how many people died because of this, which completely contradicted the meaning of protection.

"You're obsessed. If I say it's okay, then it's okay, whether you believe me or not."

Ji Haobo didn't want to waste time arguing with her; people who are obsessed with something are generally unreasonable.

"You... well, we'll see how capable you really are."

Enraged by Ji Haobo's domineering behavior, the Queen Mother of the West instantly transformed her crimson dress into fiery red armor, and a long sword appeared in her hand.

(Don't tell me why there was a problem with armor back then, hehe)

Immediately, a burst of scorching flames rose from the Queen Mother of the West's body, forming a phoenix rising from the ashes.

The violent aura was like the blazing sun, causing the air—no, the space itself—to fluctuate and distort. This was far more intense than what Xuan Nu had experienced.

"Heh, being able to manipulate the power of meteorites, that's quite something."

Nevertheless, Ji Haobo simply smiled nonchalantly and didn't take it seriously.

When his vital energy erupted instantly, it shattered the already fragile mirror space in an instant.

Suddenly, a black and white area appeared before their eyes.

This is the area between reality and the void of the Earth's core, where the two worlds will momentarily overlap at a certain point in time or when certain conditions are met.
