Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

The shipwreck tomb is located underwater, about 100 meters northeast of the bow of the ship.

There is a large coral reef here, and the entrance to the shipwreck tomb is buried beneath layers of coral reef.

If it weren't for the fact that sound waves can penetrate even the smallest gaps, no one would have been able to find the entrance.

Even with the help of the most advanced instruments and equipment, or with the help of the ancestral tablet, A Ning's men still couldn't find it.

Because its location is so secluded, and it is in the ocean, the special environment creates a special magnetic field, which has various effects on instruments and equipment, making them far less sensitive than they would be on land.

That's why it's hard to detect.

However, none of this mattered to Zhang Hao. The accuracy of sound wave positioning was beyond doubt; at most, the range of sound wave propagation varied depending on the medium.

Zhang Hao jumped into the sea and headed straight for the coral reef. After he arrived, he waited for a few more minutes before the others swam over one by one.

"Is this the entrance to the shipwreck tomb?"

Ah Ning pointed to the coral reef and then gestured with her hands to communicate.

"That's right, it's right below this coral reef. Have your men clear this coral reef and you'll find the exit."

Ah Ning nodded, and with a glance, her two subordinates stepped forward with their tools to clean the coral reef.

Waterproof electric picks have limited effectiveness underwater; after half a day of cleaning, only a small section of coral reef was cleared.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie frowned and said, "If we continue at this speed, the oxygen in the cylinders will run out before we can clean them out. Let us do it."

After Yi Sa finished gesturing, she told A Ning's two subordinates to step aside. Then, she flipped her hand, and a huge hand appeared out of thin air in the water, attacking the coral reef.

A muffled thud rang in everyone's ears, followed by the appearance of spiderweb-like cracks on a large area of ​​coral reef, with large sections of coral beginning to fall off.

An entrance made of bluestone bricks appeared beneath the coral reef.

"Damn, these bluestone bricks have a strong early Ming Dynasty style. The shipwreck tomb really is here!"

"Brother Zhang Hao, you're amazing! How did you manage to locate the shipwreck grave while you were still on the ship?"

"Uncle is amazing! You found the shipwreck tomb so easily, even though everyone else couldn't find it!"

……

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie blushed when they saw the others gesturing and praising Zhang Hao.

They were so confident that as long as the shipwreck tomb was in the water, it would be impossible not to find it. Now look what happened, they've been proven wrong.

In particular, Ding Yudie made a bet with Zhang Hao that if she lost, she would have to become his subordinate and be at his beck and call.

The thought of being ordered around by someone younger than him made him feel incredibly humiliated, and he wished he could disappear into a hole in the ground.

"Brother Ding, you've lost. You have to become my uncle's subordinate. You can't go back on your word!"

Wu Tianzhen tugged at Ding Yudie and then gestured in front of him.

"Who am I, Ding Yudie? How could I possibly go back on my word!"

Ding Yudie turned to Zhang Hao and gestured, "Boss, we've found the shipwreck tomb now, let's go in quickly!"

"Ok!"

Zhang Hao gave an "OK" sign and instructed A Ning to send two of her men in to scout the way through the entrance.

The entrance was deep and narrow, and the situation inside was unknown. He could guarantee his own safety, but he couldn't guarantee the safety of Wu Tianzhen and Fatty.

After all, moving around in a confined space is very inconvenient, and if any danger occurs, there will be no time to rescue.

He had previously considered using sound waves to locate the situation in the channel, but the distance that sound waves can travel in water is limited, and it is simply not enough to explore the entire channel.

To ensure their safety, the safest approach is to send someone in first to scout ahead.

Aning directed two of her men to crawl in through the entrance to scout out the situation, while the others waited outside.

A dozen minutes later, there was a sudden commotion in the passageway.

A series of large bubbles, about the size of a bowl, kept gushing out of the passage, followed by bright red blood, along with dismembered limbs and flesh.

Aning frowned upon seeing the severed limbs: "Something's happened to them. There's danger in the passage!"

"What on earth is this thing that can tear a person apart like this?"

"Could it be a shark?"

Zhang Hao shook his head: "With a shark's size, it simply can't get in through this entrance."

"What is that? Should we go in or retreat?"

Zhang Hao was undecided for a moment, and just then, he suddenly noticed that there were strands of hair mixed in with the blood.

He picked up a strand of hair, put it under his nose, and smelled it; a faint fragrance wafted up.

Although this was the first time I had smelled this fragrance, the descriptions of it were legendary.

"If I'm not mistaken, the one in the passage is the Forbidden Woman. You'll follow me in later."

"What? A forbidden woman?"

When Zhang Hao said there was a forbidden woman in the passage, the people around him immediately turned extremely ugly.

"The Forbidden Woman is afraid of fire, and the only thing that can burn underwater is the legendary dragon fire. Where are we going to get dragon fire?"

"Yes, I heard that the Forbidden Women are created from pregnant women who died unjustly and were thrown into the water. They are filled with resentment and can not only attack by wrapping their hair around people, but the fragrance they emit can also bewitch people's minds."

"Those two were probably bewitched and killed each other because they were mentally manipulated!"

……

Zhang Hao smiled. It's true that the Forbidden Woman is terrifying, but that's how others see her.

If it were other monsters in the passage, it would have taken a lot of effort to get through, but the Forbidden Woman is much easier to deal with.

The Tomb Raider Seal is the nemesis of all evil spirits. With this seal in hand, there are no taboos, and dealing with a forbidden woman is naturally a piece of cake.

"I know what I'm doing. If you trust me, come with me."

Zhang Hao gestured for a moment and then crawled into the entrance of the shipwreck tomb.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Consultant Zhang followed without a second thought.

Ah Ning had witnessed Zhang Hao's methods more than once, and she followed him in as well.

Seeing that the others trusted Zhang Hao so much, and seeing Zhang Hao's amazing performance, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie also went inside.

The passageway was very narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through.

The entire passage went straight down, and Zhang Hao kept diving down. After a few minutes, he had descended over a hundred meters before reaching the end of the passage.

As soon as his feet touched the ground, a familiar fragrance wafted from the water.

"This is bone incense; there really is a forbidden woman guarding this place!"

As soon as Zhang Hao finished gesturing, he saw that everyone behind him was staring at him with expressions of utter disbelief, and they kept giving him meaningful glances, as if they were terrified.

As he turned around, a deathly pale face came into his view.

His entire face was as white as if it had been painted with white paint.

She styled her hair in the ancient Chinese woman's bun.

She closed her eyes, pouting her bright red cherry lips as she leaned in to kiss him.
