This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

After Wu Qiling finished telling the story of the "Lion and Tiger King", the crowd couldn't help but get restless, and some people couldn't resist sneaking into the underground palace.

Neither Wu Qiling nor Mo Gang stopped them. It wasn't a bad thing that some people volunteered to scout ahead. If they weren't made to suffer a little, these people would be impossible to control.

As soon as someone stepped through the gate, oil lamps inside the underground palace lit up one after another, illuminating the surroundings and revealing a spacious passageway, as if silently welcoming guests from afar.

That's the vibe!

Zheng Zhuang nodded secretly. In his previous life, most of the tomb raiding TV shows and movies he had watched had similar plot points.

However, he couldn't understand why the tomb's occupant didn't want to be disturbed, given the numerous deadly traps within it.

But why would they deliberately light a lamp for the tomb raiders after they went in? Were they afraid the tomb raiders wouldn't be able to see the mechanism?

Based on the storylines I've seen before, stepping on certain floor tiles should trigger some kind of mechanism.

The thought had barely crossed Zheng Zhuang's mind when he heard a "snap" and then a dozen or so hidden arrows shot out from all directions.

They came right away!

However, the person who had just entered was quite skilled in martial arts and easily dodged the attack, then continued deeper into the area without stopping.

This scene greatly alarmed the people outside; if they were late, the treasure would be out of their reach.

These people had no sense of belonging to begin with, and with their own interests at stake, they didn't care about anything else. Besides, Wu Qiling hadn't said a word from beginning to end, indicating that he wouldn't interfere, so another ten or so people rushed in.

Before long, apart from two or three unlucky souls who were injured by hidden arrows, everyone who went in successfully passed the first obstacle.

At this moment, Wu Qiling and Mo Gang led their men forward slowly. With the previous two groups probing ahead, they had found a safe route.

Unexpectedly, just halfway there, a series of screams came from ahead.

"what!"

"What is this!"

"Don't come any closer... Ah!"

"..."

A short while later, several people hurriedly fled back.

"What did you encounter?" Wu Qiling asked.

The escaped man glanced back, saw that the creature wasn't chasing them, and recognizing their superior numbers, calmed himself slightly and replied:

"Lion...zombie."

"Zombie...Lion!"

The group was puzzled. It wasn't strange to find zombies in an ancient tomb, but why were there lions?

"Could it be that the lion has turned into a zombie? That's rather strange!" Mo Gang muttered to himself.

Many of them have encountered zombies before, and they are not difficult to deal with as long as they are properly prepared. However, it is hard to say if the zombies are not human.

Exorcism packages containing black dog blood and black donkey hooves are mostly ineffective!

However, it's impossible to leave now. After all the trouble of getting in, no one wants to leave empty-handed.

With a determined heart, everyone drew their weapons and continued forward.

Soon, the group arrived at the outside of a tomb. Through the half-open tomb door, they saw two large stone coffins inside.

One of the openings had already been made, and not far away, a rotting lion was gnawing on a corpse.

The lion had a long wound on its abdomen, which, judging from the marks, was caused by a fight with the people who had entered earlier.

The flesh and blood it had swallowed flowed out of the opening in its abdomen, but it seemed oblivious, continuing to ferociously devour the food without even glancing at the people around it.

This scene is extremely bloody and brutal, and it makes people want to vomit!

Zheng Zhuang had already turned his head away. If it weren't for the need to conceal his identity, he would have loved to use a spell to blast this disgusting thing to smithereens!

"As soon as the coffin lid was opened, this thing jumped out and bit anyone it saw!" said one of the survivors, still shaken.

"Brother Wu, what do you think?" Mo Gang asked.

Wu Qiling stroked his chin and said:

"We've only just entered the underground palace, and we don't know how far we are from the main burial chamber. The things inside these two stone coffins should be some kind of guardians, but with such eerie creatures appearing right from the start, the road ahead won't be easy!"

Mo Gang nodded and said, "That's right, but it seems there's no other way at the moment. We can only start with these two coffins!"

“Brother Mo is right. Judging from their placement, these two stone coffins are upside down, representing yin and yang respectively. Special techniques are needed to open them.”

"Furthermore, the fact that this thing ignores us means it only attacks specific targets. I suspect it's most likely someone who touched the stone coffin," Wu Qiling analyzed.

The few who had escaped earlier suddenly realized that because they entered later, they hadn't directly participated in opening the coffin, which explained why the lions hadn't chased them.

"It sounds reasonable, but who knows if it's true!" A slightly hunched middle-aged man curled his lip, his tone quite dissatisfied.

He was part of the same group as the first people who entered. Although they acted on their own, he felt that Wu Qiling's initial goal was to send them to their deaths.

"Why don't you try and see?" Old Cai chuckled, and with a flash, he picked up the hunchbacked man and threw him over.

Old Cai was so fast that the hunchbacked man didn't even have time to react before he fell between the two stone coffins.

Seeing the lion so close, the hunchbacked man trembled with fear and didn't dare to breathe.

Wu Qiling opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. He thought to himself that this old man was indeed unpredictable. No wonder Mo Gang had privately sought to cooperate with him, saying that he should be wary of this person.

However, just as Wu Qiling analyzed, the lion didn't even glance at the hunchbacked man.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that the lion really wouldn't attack people randomly.

Wu Qiling slowly walked forward and reached out to help the hunchbacked man up.

The hunchbacked man, still shaken, fled back, but kept a safe distance from Old Cai and dared not speak again.

Wu Qiling leisurely circled the two stone coffins, as if searching for some kind of mechanism.

Looking at the lion still gnawing on the corpse, and then at the calm Wu Qiling, everyone couldn't help but show their admiration. As expected of the famous Third Master Wu, few could match his composure.

Suddenly, Wu Qiling walked between the two stone coffins, and pressed his palms together against the side walls of the two coffins.

With a "click," the lid of the other stone coffin slowly opened, and the entire coffin began to shake, revealing a huge tiger's paw.

At that moment, the lion beside him suddenly raised its head and stared straight at Wu Qiling.

Everyone's hearts jumped into their throats. One lion was scary enough, but what if a tiger came along too?

Fortunately, the expected situation did not occur. The lion actually jumped into the stone coffin on its own, and the tiger's paw retracted. Then, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

After a long while, Wu Qiling slowly withdrew his hands.

Some of the bolder people slowly approached, and upon closer inspection, they found that both stone coffins were empty, with a hidden passageway visible at the bottom of each...
