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

Pushing aside the weeds, Su Chen saw a hidden compartment on the ground.

After pressing down, a strange change occurred in the mountain god temple, where eight stone sculptures appeared.

"These stone carvings are arranged according to the Nine Gates and Eight Trigrams. There are only three chances. If you fail all three times, the lock will be locked."

Su Chen told the others not to make any rash moves, and he went to the stone sculpture alone.

As Su Chen continued to make moves.

An entrance appeared on the ground.

You can enter the tomb of King Xian from here.

However, the tomb was too dangerous, so Su Chen reminded everyone to be careful again before they began to descend into the tomb.

Before long, the group arrived at the edge of an underground river.

After Su Chen's reminder, everyone became very cautious.

There is a giant worm in this river, also known as the Huo's Immortal Worm, which is hard all over and impervious to water and fire.

It was fed with special whitish techniques by the King of Xian, and became exceptionally fierce.

Su Chen held the black gold ancient sword, staring intently at the water's surface.

Sure enough, a moment later the water surface began to ripple, and a huge creature burst out of the water and attacked the group.

Good guy!

Faced with such a terrifying worm, everyone was somewhat panicked.

Its weakness lies in its tongue.

Su Chen looked at the black-backed old man and the partridge whistle, "You two feign an attack from the side to attract its attention, while I attack from the front."

Then, Black-backed Old Six and Partridge Whistle rushed forward.

Black-backed Old Six wielded his Guanshan knife and slashed down, but only managed to break the skin of the worm; it did not cause any actual damage.

Fortunately, the worm successfully aroused the enemy's hatred and kept attacking Blackback Six.

Su Chen leaped several times and landed on top of the giant worm's head, then slashed down with his sword.

This is also the weak point of the worm.

The Black Gold Ancient Blade was so sharp that even the scales on the body of the Yulong worm could not stop Su Chen's movements.

As Su Chen slashed down again and again, the giant worm soon collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"Master Su, you...you are truly amazing."

Battalion Commander Liu was utterly astonished.

Such a powerful monster was easily dealt with by Su Chen.

"Let's keep going, there's still a lot of trouble ahead."

Su Chen led everyone on their journey once again.

About half an hour later, Su Chen stopped again and gazed into the distance.

A palace appeared at the top of the mountain.

The palace is so high that the clouds can only float halfway up the mountain.

That palace is the tomb of King Xian!

Everyone was excited and climbed up the mountain along the plank road.

Another hour passed, and the group finally reached the top of the mountain.

A magnificent palace appeared before them, with a straight avenue connecting the palace to the exit of the plank road.

The appearance of the palace shocked everyone.

This is only the Ming Mausoleum of the Prince Xian.

"I never imagined that a minor king on the frontier could build such a magnificent palace."

Walking above the clouds, Hong Guniang couldn't help but sigh.

This palace is so well preserved, and its feng shui layout is also superb.

On the two stone pillars in front of the palace, the sixteen characters are engraved respectively: "Mysterious and profound, Gate of all wonders, Heavenly Palace of the Clouds, Hall of Immortals".

The heavy stone gates of the palace blocked their way.

"Give me the Dragon-Tiger Short Staff."

Su Chen gave the instructions.

Black-backed Old Six handed the walking stick to Su Chen.

Su Chen then split his cane into two pieces and inserted them into the gaps in the door.

The next second, the cane disappeared into the stone gate.

And the heavy stone door can now be opened.

Walking through the stone gate, we entered the spacious hall, where strange stone statues stood on both sides.

These strangely shaped stone statues have transformed this place into the abode of immortals and deities.

The purpose of building this palace at the tomb of King Xian was to attract celestial beings to descend to earth and then take him away.

Unfortunately, it wasn't immortals who entered this time, but mortals like Su Chen.

The painting on the wall depicts King Xian, whose crown is inlaid with the Muchen Pearl.

There is also text below, which is enough to confirm that the Muchen Pearl is in this tomb of King Xian.

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, this Muchen Pearl fell into the hands of King Xian.

During the Han Dynasty, the emperor sent an envoy to demand the Muchen Pearl, but King Xian reluctantly offered it up. So he led his people away from the ancient Dian Kingdom and came to the Insect Valley.

It took hundreds of thousands of people to finally build the tomb of King Xian.

Such a massive project! King Xian of that time certainly had a grand vision.

Just then, a series of eerie sounds suddenly came from inside the hall, as if a woman was laughing.

The once ethereal and otherworldly grotto suddenly took on a strange and eerie atmosphere.

Su Yitian searched around the main hall, when suddenly he was startled by something.

It was as if a woman was sitting on the roof beam of the main hall.

"Brother Chen, what's that?"

Su Yitian's shouts attracted the attention of others.

On the roof beam, there appeared to be a headless female corpse.

"Give her two shots."

Battalion Commander Liu raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger.

"do not move!"

Su Chen stopped Battalion Commander Liu's actions, saying, "It's just a puppet, don't touch it. Let's just do our work."

This puppeteer, Xianwang, performed a ritual in his quest to attain immortality.

As long as the puppet remains still, it will not trigger any danger.

This was a trap left behind by King Xian.

"Also..." Su Chen changed the subject, "Liu Yingzhang, take your men and guard the entrance to the main hall to prevent any danger."

There is another danger in the tomb of King Xian – the venomous man.

Back then, King Xian fed his people worms that caused them to mutate and become bloodthirsty monsters.

Su Chen looked out of the palace.

Those people with boils should be showing up soon.

Without dealing with these people suffering from paralysis, there's no way to get to the Dark Tomb.

After having Battalion Commander Liu lead his men to the entrance, Su Chen also arrived at the palace gate.

Before long, countless four-legged monsters crawled out.

They evolve again after eating humans.

"shot!"

When Battalion Commander Liu saw these people with lichens, he was startled by their appearance.

Fortunately, these people with lichens are not invincible, and they have no sight, so they can only rely on their hearing.

With strong firepower support, Su Chen was under much less pressure.

Unfortunately, the number of people with scabies increased, and they even climbed onto the palace walls.

Many soldiers, caught off guard, were bitten and swallowed whole by the people who were so kind to them.

Fortunately, Su Chen's side had fierce firepower.

After a burst of gunfire, the puddles that had climbed up were all killed or wounded.

Everyone could finally rest for a while.

"What exactly is going on with these people suffering from eczema?"

Yin Xinyue asked curiously.

"It's related to the long worms we just killed. These worm-like beings were originally underwater. After being resurrected, they have no consciousness, only a bloodthirsty nature," Su Chen said. "We must be careful when we go back. If we can find another way out, it's best not to return the way we came."

These people with eczema are too dangerous.
