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

Behind the wooden coffin was a bronze coffin.

The enormous bronze coffin was chained by several thick iron chains, as if there were something terrifying inside.

"Dong dong dong..."

Suddenly, the massive bronze coffin began to tremble.

It was as if something inside was about to come out.

Su Chen looked at the mirror on the bronze coffin. This bronze mirror had the power to ward off evil spirits and was used to suppress the bronze coffin.

There's a high chance it's a rice dumpling inside.

"Don't touch this bronze coffin."

Su Chen warned everyone not to act rashly.

His gaze then turned upwards, where the passage leading to the tomb of the King of Xian should be, though it was fraught with danger.

Beneath the bronze coffin lies an ancient tomb.

The bronze coffin made a loud noise.

Su Chen took out an entrenching tool and smashed the ancient mirror in front of the bronze coffin.

The next second, the cave was instantly lit up, and a hideous corpse appeared above the coffin.

"Mermaid Candle!"

Partridge Whistle recognized the grotesque monster's identity: "Legend has it that it was made from mermaid fat and can burn for ten thousand years after being lit."

"There are ten mermaid candles here, which should correspond to ten coffins, but there are only three coffins here?"

Partridge Whistle was completely baffled.

"There's one down there!"

Su Chen's gaze fell to the bottom of the bronze coffin.

The violent shaking caused several iron chains on the bronze coffin to break, and it fell to the ground.

They smashed through the stone cover that had been sealing the ground, creating a passage.

Following the passage down, the group arrived at a brand-new tomb chamber.

There's still a coffin here!

Four coffins have now been found, and the coffins are surrounded by funerary objects.

"Put these things away safely, Lao Dao. You keep an eye on these people."

Su Chen instructed Black-backed Old Six to keep an eye on the engineers to prevent them from hoarding items.

Then, at Su Chen's instruction, everyone began to open the coffin.

The corpse inside the coffin wore a golden mask, but as air circulated in, the mask quickly disappeared, eventually turning into a black mass.

"This body was pieced together from many limbs, and the source of those limbs..."

Su Chen looked at the upper tomb chamber and said, "It should have been taken from the bodies in those three coffins."

"This coffin is a ghost coffin. Legend has it that the most wicked people will be punished in hell and never be reincarnated."

"This place should represent the underworld, the area above represents the human world, and the top of that area, which is the very top of the tomb chamber, is the true tomb chamber of King Xian."

Su Chen clearly knew what the above represented.

After collecting all the funerary objects on the ground, Su Chen arrived at the space where the wooden coffin was placed.

Upon reaching the uppermost passage, dozens of ferocious stone statues stood before the stone walls on both sides, their eyes glaring fiercely, exuding murderous intent.

Partridge Whistle knew there were clues to the Muchen Pearl in the tomb, but seeing that so much time had passed without any results, he and Red Girl walked very fast, always staying ahead of the others.

Before long, Partridge Whistle stood in front of a stone wall.

He raised the torch in his hand, wanting to see the true appearance of the mural.

The next second, it was as if Partridge Whistle had entered a dream world. Suddenly, a hand reached out from the statue on the stone wall and tightly gripped his neck.

The Red Girl's situation was the same as Partridge Whistle's; she too had fallen into an illusion.

The statue was incredibly strong, and Partridge Whistle couldn't break free no matter how hard he tried.

Just as he was about to suffocate and die, Su Chen finally made his move, smashing the stone statue to pieces with a single strike.

After the stone statue shattered, a desiccated female corpse appeared in front of it.

Partridge Whistle and Red Girl were panting heavily. "Thank you, Mr. Su. I was just caught off guard."

Having searched through so many tombs, if Su Chen hadn't come to his rescue, he might have really perished here today.

"You're welcome."

Su Chen replied calmly, his gaze fixed on the female corpse in front of him.

The female corpse had a beautiful face and was adorned with many gold and silver jewels.

"This should be the Queen Consort of the King of Xian, but why is she here instead of in the coffin?"

Zhang Hulu was somewhat puzzled.

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

Although Su Chen understood the situation, he didn't say it outright.

The very next second after Zhang Hulu touched the female corpse, the skin on the corpse began to shatter, and tens of thousands of moths flew out of the corpse and rushed towards the group.

Partridge Whistle reacted quickly, opening the Vajra Umbrella to shield everyone behind him.

After the moths flew out of the passage, they turned around and flew back.

"Enter the passage!"

After the female corpse disappeared, a passage about one meter in size appeared behind her.

Su Chen let Yin Xinyue go in first, while he stayed behind to deal with the moths.

Once everyone had gone inside, Partridge Whistle stayed behind to cover the rear, while Su Chen also entered the tomb passage.

After a few minutes, Su Chen and the others arrived at an open space again.

Only one coffin was placed here.

At the same time, Partridge Whistle also entered and sealed the cave entrance with his Vajra Umbrella.

Unlike the coffins that everyone had seen before, the coffin was completely empty when it was opened.

"This should be the coffin of the Queen Consort of the King of Xian."

Partridge Whistle guessed, "The real coffin of the King of Xian is not here."

"But why is Princess Xian's coffin here, while she is at the entrance of the passage?"

Zhang Hulu was puzzled.

Even though he inherited many of his father Zhang Sanlianzi's skills, he still couldn't figure it out.

"The corpses at the entrance of the passage were obviously there to block something." Su Chen looked around the tomb chamber. "There's something strange about this tomb chamber."

Just as Su Chen finished speaking, strange things happened on the surrounding tomb walls.

The originally black tomb walls had turned blood red and were writhing rhythmically.

Countless fleshy spheres, like ferocious beasts, kept rushing towards the group.

The entire tomb chamber turned red, and countless liquids flowed down from all sides of the chamber.

At the same time, the temperature inside the tomb began to rise steadily.

It's as if the tomb itself were alive.

The space inside is getting smaller and smaller.

Stepping on the ground is like stepping on soft soil; your feet can sink in.

This is the biggest crisis facing the tomb of King Xian!

"This isn't a tomb, but a ten-thousand-year-old, two-eyed fleshy Ganoderma lucidum in a state of suspended animation," Su Chen said quickly. The King's wife had used it to plug the Ganoderma lucidum's eyes, effectively blocking out the air as well.

"Now that this fleshy Ganoderma has come into contact with air, it has been revived."

Su Chen and the others were currently inside the fleshy spirit mushroom.

As the fleshy Ganoderma continues to grow, the space will inevitably become narrower and narrower, and eventually, everyone will be swallowed by the fleshy Ganoderma.

Fortunately, the engineers were all storing funerary objects on the lowest level and didn't come up.

Otherwise, if so many people came in at the same time, the problem would probably be even more serious.
