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

While Zhang Hao followed Zhang Qilin into the tomb passage to deal with the little zombies, A Ning took the opportunity to break away from the group and act on her own.

There was no further news about her after that.

Its sudden appearance at the bottom of the cave inevitably raises suspicions.

"Let's go, hurry down and see what that woman is doing."

The fat man shouted something and rushed down the slope.

Zhang Hao, Zhang Qiling, Wu Tianzhen, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie also followed.

When everyone rushed to the bottom of the cave, they could not find A Ning anywhere, only an octagonal stone tablet in the middle.

"What about people?"

"Where is that woman?"

"How did they suddenly disappear?"

I clearly saw Aning combing her hair in front of the stone tablet at the bottom of the cave when I was on the steps.

After they ran down, Aning suddenly disappeared.

"She must be somewhere nearby."

Fatty looked around and, finding no other exits, guessed that Anning was still near the stone tablet.

So he began searching around the stone tablet.

Suddenly he discovered a few lines of text under the stone tablet and hurriedly called out to Tianzhen.

"Quick, tell me what these words mean?"

Wu Tianzhen responded and squatted down to study the inscription at the bottom of the stone tablet.

He studied it for a while and said: These texts say that there is a heavenly palace built above the clouds.

The entrance to the Heavenly Palace is inside this stone tablet.

Those who are destined will be able to enter.

"Fatty, wait a minute, move the flashlight back to where it was before."

Zhang Hao suddenly interrupted Wu Tianzhen's translation and called out to the fat man.

"what happened?"

The fat man looked puzzled.

"I think I just saw something inside the stone tablet."

"Isn't this just a stone tablet? What could be inside? Could there really be an entrance to the Heavenly Palace?"

Although the fat man muttered to himself, he still did as Zhang Hao said.

When the fat man moved the flashlight to the previous position and the light shone on the stone tablet, from a special angle, one could see that there were lifelike pictures inside the stone tablet.

"This, this is?"

Everyone else was stunned when they saw the picture appear in the stone tablet.

"Brother Zhang Hao is awesome."

"Uncle, you're amazing! If it weren't for you, we would never have discovered that there was something inside."

"Boss, you're amazing! You even noticed that."

Zhang Hao smiled and ignored the others.

The stone tablet is octagonal. Zhang Hao moved to the other side of the tablet and had the fat man raise the flashlight at the same height and angle to shine the light onto the tablet.

Sure enough, the same picture appeared on this side as well.

The content of the painting is a continuation of the previous painting.

Zhang Hao then moved to other sides.

Each side of the stone tablet displays a different image when viewed from a specific angle.

Connecting the eight pictures together creates a complete story.

"Naive, if I'm not mistaken. The whole story begins from this side."

Could you explain what these pictures mean?

Wu Tianzhen nodded. Let's begin the interpretation from the first painting.

"In the early Ming Dynasty, there was a very powerful feng shui master named Wang Changhai."

One day, he was captured by the King of Wannu and forced to build a mausoleum for him.

During the construction of the mausoleum, he discovered the secret of the King of Wannu.

King Wannu has discovered a way to achieve immortality.

This method involves living in symbiosis with a creature called the volcanic centipede.

However, the lifespan of the volcanic centipede is limited, and new volcanic centipedes must be replaced every once in a while.

This is how Wannu King obtained immortality.

After learning about the Wan Nu King's method of achieving immortality, Wang Zhanhai also wanted to achieve immortality.

However, he did not want this incomplete method of achieving immortality. Although he would gain immortality, he would also become a half-human, half-insect monster.

So he began searching through all the books in the world, hoping to find a way to achieve immortality.

After decades of searching, he finally discovered that there was a person in history who had mastered a near-perfect method for achieving immortality.

That is, by preserving one's consciousness and then, at the right time, possessing another person's body, one can achieve immortality.

"Hey, look at that! Every time we move, that token-like thing inside the stone tablet moves with us."

Wu Tianzhen suddenly stopped interpreting the inscription and pointed inside the stone tablet.

After he pointed it out, the others also noticed that there was a palm-sized token in the picture.

The most peculiar thing is that it moves along with the people in front of it when they move.

And it always points in one direction.

"I see!"

Yi Sa suddenly exclaimed?

"What's wrong? What do you know?"

"This is a mechanism constructed by combining the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams with the Qimen Dunjia method."

The eight closed stone doors around the bottom of the cave correspond to eight gates.

We have hope of living only if we enter the gate of life.

We just saw Aning combing her hair in front of the mirror, but that was just our imagination.

She was probably trying to find the right angle to locate the birth canal.

The feeling of boredom is the direction the token in the picture points to.

"SaSa, you're amazing!"

Ding Yudie praised.

"What do you think, Uncle?"

Wu Tianzhen didn't particularly trust Yi Sa, and he always consulted Zhang Hao's opinion at crucial moments.

Zhang Hao nodded: "Her tweet is fine. As long as we enter the gate of life, we can get into the main burial chamber. Once we get there, we will definitely have a way to leave the shipwreck tomb."

“In that case, we need to go through that stone door over there. That woman, Aning, should have gone in through there too.”

The fat man pointed to the stone door corresponding to the token and said, "Let's hurry up and follow her, lest she get there first and leave us with nothing of value."

The fat man is still thinking about the prized possession in his antique shop. He has seen many treasures since entering the shipwreck tomb, but he has not been able to get his hands on any of them, which has always been a regret in his heart.

We're about to enter the main burial chamber; the treasures inside are sure to be much better than those outside.

If Aning beats him to it again, he will have made a wasted trip and gotten nothing. How could he be willing to accept that?

"go!"

Suddenly, Zhang Qiling, who had been silent all along, said, "Let's go."

The others followed, and after entering the stone gate indicated by the token, there was a passage more than one person wide inside, with steep and smooth stone walls on both sides, at least 10 meters high.

In the middle is a straight staircase leading forward.

Zhang Qilin had already walked more than ten meters away, and the others hurriedly followed behind.

"Damn it, why is this tomb passage so narrow? Grandpa Fatty is about to get stuck."

From the moment he entered this passage, the fat man swore and cursed the whole way.

Zhang Qilin, who was walking at the front, suddenly stopped when he heard the fat man's call.

"Oh no! The stone walls on both sides are moving towards the middle. We must escape as soon as possible!"
