Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

A deathly silence reigned within the blood mist, the atmosphere eerily still.

Seeing that there was no movement around him, and even the murderous aura had obviously diminished, Chen Yibai couldn't help but become wary.

The world is unpredictable; there must be something sinister going on!

The other side might switch from offense to defense, setting a trap for us!

"They really do get more cunning with age!"

Chen Yibai clicked his tongue. Given the complex environment, it was too risky to take the initiative to find them. He definitely couldn't take that risk!

Immediately, Chen Yibai turned his head to look at the outline of the palace that was faintly visible in the blood mist.

Without a doubt, the main objective of the Skywalker Society must be this palace.

And there must be something they want in that palace!

Since that's the case, let's just ignore them and intercept them halfway into the palace to get there first.

That will naturally force them to show themselves!

If they still don't show up by then, just grab the stuff and leave, the main goal is to infuriate them!

At this moment, Chen Yibai was about one or two hundred meters away from the palace in the center of the blood mist.

Although the blood mist was thick, one could still vaguely make out that the magnificent palace in the very center was like the underworld of Fengdu, surrounded by two concentric circles of towers of different shapes, forming a small city that was impregnable.

The tower buildings are spaced less than two or three meters apart, and the ground is paved entirely with smooth bluestone bricks.

To enter the central palace, one must pass through the alleys between these towers.

Chen Yibai is currently still on the outermost edge of the city.

Wu Daoshan and his group arrived eight days early, and they were still on the outermost side, except that they had demolished one of the towers.

It seems that in these eight days, they only did this one thing.

The descendants of the tomb raiders, as well as the 'extraordinary person' who was skilled in exorcism and could tear apart the corpse king, were all kept out?

Therefore, entering the central palace is not so simple.

But what you, the descendants of the Tomb Raiders, can't handle, I, the descendants of the Tomb Raiders, will! And what you, the descendants of the Tomb Raiders, can handle, I, the descendants of the Tomb Raiders, will handle as well!

Holding the Vajra Umbrella, Chen Yibai was fully focused on his surroundings, cautiously observing his surroundings. He walked around the ruins of the collapsed tower and found himself in an alleyway.

The alley was only a little over two meters wide, very narrow, and judging from the outline of the buildings in the blood mist ahead, it was about thirty or forty meters deep.

Chen Yibai remained extremely vigilant and walked all the way to the end of the alley without encountering any unexpected incidents.

Ahead was a corner, with roads on both the left and right, all narrow alleys, like a maze surrounded by towers.

shhhhhh...

Just as Chen Yibai turned to the left, a sudden 'whoosh' sound broke through the deathly silence, and the sound came from both the front and back at the same time.

"It's a sneak attack!"

Chen Yibai was all too familiar with this sound. In an instant, he opened the Vajra Umbrella in his hand with a loud 'bang', squatted down against the wall of the alley, and used the Vajra Umbrella to protect his whole body.

bang bang bang...

Almost at the same time, countless arrows shot from both the front and rear directions, like a rain of pear blossoms, all hitting the Vajra Umbrella with a crackling sound.

Fortunately, Chen Yibai crouched down and used the Vajra Umbrella to protect his entire body. The arrows that came from both the front and back directions provided almost no blind spots in the firepower, and the shooting force was extremely strong.

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough and used the Vajra Umbrella to block it, I would have been riddled with holes in an instant.

"Where did that arrow come from?"

At this moment, Chen Yibai remained calm. It was to be expected that there would be traps and mechanisms in the city.

In ancient tombs throughout history, the most common and widespread anti-theft method is to install traps, such as various hidden arrows, quicksand, fire, and earth burial.

What puzzled Chen Yibai was that all the mechanisms had a trigger device.

Having walked this far, we haven't moved anything except the bluestone bricks under our feet, so how was this mechanism triggered?

In addition, the alley was more than two meters wide, and all the arrows that were shot hit the Vajra Umbrella, with almost no misses.

Could it be that this mechanism is equipped with automatic human body sensing and precise navigation?

After one volley of arrows was fired, less than a breath later, another volley of arrows came raining down like a storm of pear blossoms, all striking the Vajra Umbrella with pinpoint accuracy.

This rapid arrow-changing cycle gives the target almost no chance to breathe or react.

Seeing this situation, Chen Yibai could only temporarily use the Vajra Umbrella to keep his body still and remained calm, because the arrows would eventually run out.

At the same time, the sound of arrows piercing the air and striking the Vajra Umbrella reached Wu Daoshan's side.

Meanwhile, Wu Daoshan was holding his breath, preparing to ambush and launch a sneak attack on Chen Yibai.

Hearing the commotion coming from the city, one of his men couldn't help but lower his voice and say, "Master Wu, it seems that our colleague has gone inside!"

Wu Daoshan nodded with a gloomy expression, his eyes flashing coldly, while a strange smile played on his lips. He lowered his voice and said, "Go and ambush him at the alley entrance. As soon as he retreats, strike immediately!"

This is an absolutely fantastic opportunity!

The subordinate beside him frowned and asked, "Master Wu, what if... he doesn't back out..."

"impossible!"

Before his subordinate could finish speaking, Wu Daoshan interrupted him, saying with absolute certainty, "We've been here for eight whole days, trying to break in but we haven't succeeded. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he'd definitely have to back out obediently!"

"Of course, it would be even better if he died inside!"

Judging from Wu Daoshan's tone, there are only two possibilities: either he dies inside, or he obediently withdraws.

Then cut off his escape route, which would be tantamount to certain death!

Hearing Wu Daoshan's confident tone, his men fell silent, all gripping their three-edged scythes and ready to ambush him at the alley entrance.

The focus shifted back to Chen Yibai.

After five consecutive volleys of arrows, silence returned to the surroundings.

Chen Yibai waited another half minute to make sure the arrow mechanism had completely stopped working before slowly standing up with the Vajra Umbrella in his hand.

A large pile of iron arrows lay scattered on the ground. The cross-shaped arrowheads were black in color and looked like they were poisoned. Furthermore, all four sides of the cross-shaped arrowheads were barbed. If one of these arrows pierced flesh, it would take at least half a pound of flesh to pull it out.

"How damn vicious!"

Chen Yibai subconsciously gasped.

However, on the other hand, the mechanisms in ancient tombs are designed to deal with tomb raiders, so they must be as vicious as possible.
