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

"Mr. Su, I've found these two items!"

Black-backed Lao Liu took the two crystal-clear round beads out of his pocket and handed them to Su Chen.

"Eyeballs?"

Su Chan examined it carefully.

"It should be the pair of eyeballs that were missing from the crystal corpse before."

Partridge Whistle analyzed, "But why isn't it on the corpse, but elsewhere?"

No one can provide an answer to this question.

Su Chen's gaze fell on the pillar in the square.

Zaba approached the stone pillar, observing the patterns on it. He slowly said, "These patterns tell the story of the origin of the Muchen Pearl!"

"Legend has it that in ancient times, a giant snake bone fell from the sky. People called it the Snake Bone God. It is said that its eyes have not decayed for thousands of years and that it can open passages to imaginary space..."

The bard Zaba recounted the origins of the Muchen Pearl to the crowd.

After listening, Su Chen had a general understanding: "They used the Muchen Pearl for sacrifices to open the passage of the Imaginary Space and connect to the curse of the Ghost Cave. Therefore, the Imaginary Space is the source of the curse of the Mountain Moving lineage."

"As long as we shut down the imaginary space, we can sever the connection, and the curse on you should be lifted."

Su Chen looked at Partridge Whistle.

For thousands of years, the Zagrama people have been searching for a way to break the curse, guided by the prophet's prediction.

Countless people sacrificed their lives for this.

"Should we close it using an altar? But where is the altar?"

Partridge Whistle looked around, unable to contain his excitement.

Although he usually presents himself as composed, he was somewhat unsettled when faced with the impending lifting of the curse.

Old Yang and Hua Ling began to search their surroundings more thoroughly.

"Senior brother, there seems to be a switch here!"

The old foreigner discovered a clue on a stone pillar. After he pressed it, a passage appeared in the center of the square.

So the group entered the passage they had just discovered.

This is a bridge spanning a deep abyss, with bottomless depths on both sides.

At the end of the bridge stands an altar full of ancient charm.

Su Chen led Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and Flower Spirit to the altar, instructing the others to stay outside the altar and not to wander around.

“Mr. Su, here are two white containers, one containing a yellow liquid and the other containing a blood-red liquid.”

After discovering something strange, Partridge Whistle spoke to Su Chen.

As soon as he finished speaking, a disc several meters in size above the altar suddenly lit up.

The disc resembled the sun.

Below the disc, there appeared an hourglass.

This is a timing device used to verify the identity of the person entering.

If the sacrificial ceremony cannot be completed before the timer ends, it may trigger a mechanism, in which case everyone will have to stay behind.

The entire city of Evil Luo Sea will be forever buried underground, never to reappear.

"Since it is a sacrificial ceremony, it must require offerings."

Su Chen said.

“One of the trays should hold the Muchen Pearl, and the other is a blood-red tray.” Partridge Whistle looked over. “Could it be that fresh blood is needed?”

To fill such a large tray, you would need at least all the blood from one person.

After saying that, Partridge Whistle took out a dagger.

When faced with such a situation, he would naturally stand in front of his junior brothers and sisters.

"Senior brother, let me do it."

Hua Ling stopped Partridge Whistle, "As long as you and Old Foreigner are alright, I'm willing to do anything. Of the three of us, I'm the least capable."

"I'll do it. Senior brother, you and Hua Ling must take good care of yourselves."

The old foreigners eagerly chimed in.

The three siblings shared a deep bond and all wanted to sacrifice themselves so that the other two could live.

"Don't try to fight for someone's life."

Su Chen walked towards the blood-red tray. "Even if we want to break through the passage, we have to do it the other way around. Place the Muchen Pearl in this tray."

As the Muchen Pearl was placed down, the tray visibly wobbled for a moment.

Su Chen then walked to another tray and placed the pair of eyeballs he was holding on it.

"These eyeballs are more precious than blood."

Su Chen said.

In the Demon Kingdom, eyes hold a special place.

They believed that a person's soul was hidden in their eyes.

The next second, the entire altar began to shake and emitted strange colors.

Just as everyone was wondering what was going on, the shaking suddenly stopped, and everything went dark again.

"Did you make it?"

Partridge Whistle looked nervously at Old Foreigner and Flower Spirit.

Just as he finished speaking, the altar changed again.

A huge explosion began at the center of the altar and spread outwards.

Su Chen, Partridge Whistle, Hua Ling, and Old Foreigner were instantly thrown away by the huge explosion.

When they were in the air, time seemed to stand still.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Chen and the others finally landed.

As Partridge Whistle lay on the ground, he seemed to be hallucinating.

One after another, figures appeared in front of him.

Those people are all descendants of the Zaglama tribe, who have been preparing for the search for the Muchen Pearl for countless years.

And now, the curse has finally been lifted!

Two lines of clear tears appeared in Partridge Whistle's eyes.

He seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and crying but not crying.

"Brother!"

With tears of emotion in their eyes, Lao Yangren and Hua Ling helped Partridge Whistle up.

The curse that had plagued their mountain-moving lineage for thousands of years vanished in an instant.

My long-cherished wish has been fulfilled!

The souls of those ancestors can finally rest in peace!

The stagnant spacetime returned to normal, and the entire space was no longer prone to turbulence.

The stone fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground, shattering the altar floor into pieces.

"This place is about to collapse, get out of here!"

Black-backed Old Six shouted for everyone to leave as soon as possible.

……

Half a day later.

The Tibetan Plateau.

The group finally emerged from the ancient tomb of the Demon Kingdom.

They were covered in dust and dirt, but there was an indescribable joy on everyone's faces.

It can be considered a narrow escape.

"Thank you Mr. Su!"

Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and Flower Spirit bowed to Su Chen.

If it weren't for Su Chen, they probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the Muchen Pearl, let alone enter the Kunlun Divine Tomb.

With so many dangers, the three of them simply couldn't handle it.

"You're too kind. You're from Su Family Village." Su Chen smiled and patted Partridge Whistle on the shoulder.

Partridge Whistle, Flower Spirit, and Old Foreigner are all unofficial members of Su Family Village.

Their curse has disappeared, and they will be able to better assist Su Chen in tomb raiding in the future.

Although they didn't obtain many treasures from the Kunlun Divine Palace this time, Su Chen still thought the trip was quite worthwhile.

"Mr. Su, is your Su Family Village still short of people?"

Old Ma looked at Su Chen with a hint of sadness on his face.

This trip to the tomb has exhausted the heritage of the corpse carriers, leaving him completely alone.
