Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Moving forward again, the group walked through the jungle.

Just then, a strange sound rang out.

Su Chen stopped and looked into the distance. In the darkness, he saw two green flames that seemed to be staring at them.

It's that strange bird from the Insect Valley.

Su Chen signaled to the people behind him to make a move.

After a burst of gunfire, the strange bird vanished without a trace.

Immediately afterwards, the group arrived at the spot where the strange bird had been standing.

A thick, ancient tree stood there, and with the help of the torchlight, Partridge Whistle quickly noticed something amiss about it.

"Mr. Su!"

Partridge Whistle's gaze fell on the trunk of the ancient tree, where he saw what appeared to be a red coffin.

"Do it!"

Su Chen gave the instructions.

Immediately, the soldiers under Battalion Commander Liu took the coffin down.

A huge coffin appeared before everyone's eyes. It was made of some unknown material and was entirely blood red.

"Since ancient times, coffins have been buried in places with excellent feng shui. Why would you put a coffin in a tree?"

Red Girl was puzzled.

“The feng shui here is excellent; it’s a unique water dragon halo,” Su Chen said slowly. “Therefore, it cannot be explained according to normal feng shui principles.”

"This coffin is very likely one of the people buried with the deceased, and it is also located near the main tomb."

Partridge Whistle nodded, understanding Su Chen's thoughts. "This coffin is a secondary tomb, and that big tree is the outer coffin. It seems that the tomb of the King of Xian is here, and we haven't gone the wrong way."

Hearing this, everyone nodded.

"Then let's open the coffin and see what's inside."

Battalion Commander Liu became interested.

He had wanted to turn back when he encountered danger, but now that the treasure was right in front of him, Battalion Commander Liu was so captivated that he couldn't move his feet and stared intently at the coffin.

Any one of the treasures in the tomb is worth a fortune.

"Squeak!"

The heavy coffin lid was lifted, revealing a red liquid inside, resembling fresh blood.

"This is a preservative made from herbs."

Su Chen said, "Don't worry!"

As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, the liquid inside the blood coffin changed again.

It looked as if something was trying to pop out of it.

Everyone panicked and retreated.

Su Chen, however, stood calmly beside the coffin, holding the black gold ancient sword, coldly watching the scene before him.

A moment later, a skeleton wearing a golden mask emerged from the red liquid.

In addition, the corpse was holding a cane in its hand, which looked like it was made of jade.

"It must be a priest or a shaman."

Su Chen began analyzing the identity of the female corpse.

Partridge Whistle's gaze was fixed on the female corpse's mask, the pattern on which was the Muchen Pearl.

Could the Muchen Pearl really be in this Insect Valley?

"Old Dao, take these two burial items with you."

Su Chen gave the order again.

The golden mask and the dragon-tiger short staff may be of great use in the future.

Blackback Six stepped forward, took out the golden mask and short staff from the coffin, and then carefully wiped them clean.

Then, Partridge Whistle and Su Chen's gazes fell on the carvings on the coffin.

A palace stood mysteriously atop the clouds.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream rang out from the crowd.

A person appeared to be entangled by something, rapidly approaching the coffin.

The others quickly grabbed his body.

At this moment, everyone could see that it was a red fleshy thread wrapped around the man's ankle.

Immediately afterwards, red fleshy threads surged out of the coffin, relentlessly attacking the group.

It was all the coffin's fault. Su Chen slashed at the corpse inside the coffin with his sword, cutting off its head.

As the corpse was destroyed, the red flesh lines seemed to lose their vitality, quickly withering and drying up.

"What...what is this thing?"

Battalion Commander Liu was alarmed.

Su Chen ignored him and instead instructed everyone to continue forward.

Among the group, the people of Zhelong Village felt uneasy looking at the golden mask and the dragon-tiger short staff taken out of the coffin.

They were descendants of the ancient Dian Kingdom, and if we're being honest, these burial objects were theirs too.

If anyone is to go down into the tomb, it has to be one of their people.

The burial items also belonged to them.

But now these treasures have been taken away by the people in front of them, and they are resentful.

But considering how many guns the other side had, they had no choice but to give up.

Before long, the group finally emerged from the dark forest.

The view was of an open field, and the blazing sun overhead made it hard to open one's eyes.

"It's already noon, why is there so much fog?"

"Blackback Old Six asked curiously."

"That's poisonous miasma. Anyone who wants to survive should wear a mask and not expose their skin to the air."

After Su Chen reminded them, everyone covered themselves up completely.

After passing through the poisonous miasma, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

We've finally arrived at the approximate location of the Tomb of King Xian.

Partridge Whistle skillfully squatted on the ground, brushed aside the withered leaves, and glanced at the soil below.

"King Xian was skilled in feng shui and could change the feng shui pattern."

Partridge Whistle said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ninth Blood Eye. We need to find a way down."

After saying that, Partridge Whistle looked at Su Chen.

Of all those present, apart from Su Chen, Partridge Whistle couldn't imagine anyone else possessing such feng shui skills.

Only Su Chen could find the tomb of the King of Xian.

"Lianzhen originates, departing from the tower and descending from the palace, opening the tent and rising and falling, sometimes large and sometimes small, passing through the tent and crossing the gorge, the vein emerges from the center." Su Chen began to deduce, "Geng dragon, Gui storehouse, Xun facing the ancestral temple, Kun position peak, prime minister. Dragon Xun peak Kun Geng facing position, Gui direction releases water for endless blessings."

"The Ding dragon's burial site is located at Geng, and the tomb is situated at Gui, where six ministers reside. The Geng dragon faces Yi and the water flows out from Kun, returning to Gen, thus bringing increased fortune and longevity."

"..."

As Su Chen continued to deduce, he had already discerned the feng shui layout of the place.

“There should be a mountain god temple nearby. The red soil on the ground just now was the insect-severing path, which was designed to protect the mountain god temple from being destroyed by insects,” Su Chen said again. “Once we find the mountain god temple, we can find the true extent of the ruins.”

"Then we can figure out a way to get in."

Upon hearing Su Chen's words, Battalion Commander Liu immediately ordered his men to scatter and begin searching for the Mountain God Temple.

Before long, someone discovered a narrow entrance.

After passing through this entrance, the group arrived at a mountain god temple that was overgrown with weeds and had broken walls.

Upon entering the mountain god temple, everyone's attention was drawn to the two tall stone statues.

The mountain god on the left is holding a gourd of wine, while the mountain god on the right is holding a toad.

The scene was as bizarre as it could possibly be.

"The entrance should be here."

Su Chen said slowly, "Scattered around looking for the entrance, trying to get in as soon as possible."

While everyone scattered to search, Su Chen came to the back of the statue.
