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

Hearing this title, Su Chen finally remembered.

These insects are born from coffins and prefer to feed on coffins that reek of death.

The area below Coffin Gorge already has a terrain shaped like a coffin, and with countless hanging coffins on the cliff, it has long been teeming with countless coffin worms.

The unusual movement of the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor clearly attracted the coffin worms, which led to the current scene.

Su Chen immediately gave instructions, and Partridge Whistle and Chen Yulou had two people light torches.

Upon seeing this, Feng Ziping immediately became angry.

"No, can't you see that the entire Earth Immortal Village is full of Sad Wood!"

"The Nine Deaths Terrifying Armor has a tendency to face the sun; once it is lit, it will be attracted to it."

His hurried movements didn't seem fake, so Blind Chen and Partridge Whistle had no choice but to stop.

"By now, the outside is probably crawling with coffin worms. What do you suggest we do?"

Su Chen glanced at Feng Ziping and said coldly, "You're going to die."

These coffin beetles are a favorite food of decaying wood. They are quite poisonous, and if they bite you, you're guaranteed to rot to the bone.

We can't just throw away our lives, can we?

Feng Ziping slapped his forehead and said.

"A Nighttime Stroll with a Candle! Let's go to the tomb! We can light a fire in the tomb!"

"The ancient tomb in Dixian Village is full of gaps; once it's surrounded, there's nowhere to run!"

Su Chen's expression darkened upon hearing this. Entering the ancient tomb in the Earth Immortal Village was practically suicide, and if he had a choice, he would never make that choice.

At this moment, Chen Yulou suddenly spoke.

"Feng Shigu couldn't have overlooked this problem; there must be insect-proof passages set up in the Earth Immortal's Tomb!"

"What are you waiting for? Come with us!"

Su Chen was stunned when he heard this. Why didn't he say it earlier? Otherwise, he wouldn't be here wasting his breath talking to this guy.

Fearing that they might miss their chance to survive, the group quickly found a tomb passage and jumped down.

Below the ossuary is a large tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period, containing many swords and a huge alchemical furnace, from which a faint, pungent smell of mercury wafts.

They had planned to go through the tomb passage to the ancient tomb in Dixian Village, but they didn't expect that as soon as they went down, countless coffin worms would emerge from various cracks.

"Damn it! Now we're all completely fed to the bugs!"

Chen Yulou couldn't help but speak, lighting the torch in his hand.

Although these coffin worms are ferocious, they have never seen sunlight and retreated repeatedly when they sensed the firelight.

A flashlight is not as effective as a torch, but it's better than nothing and still serves some purpose.

Feng Ziping, who had been insisting on not lighting fires, didn't care about any ancestral rules and simply took off his coat and tied it up to make a giant torch.

It was as if it were holding up a torch, waving it to drive away the approaching coffin worms.

"Chief Su, this isn't working. Can we quickly come up with a solution?"

"Who knows how to do this?"

Su Chen isn't a god, how could he do all that!

His gaze swept across the room and he spotted the alchemy furnace beside him. He picked up the Emperor's Sword and pierced a hole in the furnace with one stroke, causing the mercury that had been sitting inside for who knows how long to flow out.

A pale white mercury mist appeared inside the tomb chamber, and the silvery mercury flowed through, submerging all the coffin worms along the way.

"Don't just stand there, let's go!"

Taking advantage of the gap in the mercury partition, Su Chen quickly spoke up.

Having barely escaped, the group hurriedly headed towards the location of the Earth Immortal Village.

After walking for about half an hour, Su Chen looked around and took out the "Night Tour by Candlelight" map to compare it with the surroundings. This comparison was quite significant.

Something new appeared in the picture; figures emerged in the tomb passage of the Earth Immortal's Tomb.

"What the heck? This image changes?"

Partridge Whistle glanced at it and exclaimed in surprise.

This was clearly completely different from what everyone had seen before.

Feng Ziping seemed unsurprised and spoke calmly.

"This is made with squid ink, and the changes only occur when the temperature is increased under a torch."

"Does this mean that there is something in the ancient tomb in Dixian Village that can only be found by lighting a fire?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou glanced at the torch still burning in his hand. He couldn't bear to throw it away; he still had to go down into the tomb. What if he encountered coffin worms again?

Su Chen had expected the other party to give him some explanation, but after hearing what the person in front of him said, he opened his mouth but said nothing.

Feng Ziping seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, and said with his head down.

"Let's go, we don't have much time left."

"Ah."

The group quickly determined their location and continued on their way.

Soon they arrived at the lower part of the headless corpse mountain, where a stone tablet stood outside the village.

The Spirit Star Palace of the Earth Immortal Village

Outside the Lingxing Palace, every ten meters or so, a ferocious demon several meters tall would appear, its deep red yangsui (a type of magical energy) flowing from its eyes in a specific pattern.

The pale red glow kept the coffin worms that swarmed across the mountainside away, leaving only this tranquil spot.

This scene not only made no one feel safe, but also gave them the feeling that they were about to go in and die.

"Is this where the Corpse Immortal sleeps?"

Feng Ziping spoke slowly, took a deep breath, and went inside first.

Su Chen followed closely behind. Even now, he didn't think the guy could be trusted, and there was only one reason for that.

That's because Feng Ziping isn't honest enough.

After overcoming the obstacle, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally had a chance to catch their breath.

"Did Feng Shigu foresee this day coming and prepare for it all along?"

Chen Yulou asked, panting heavily.

Su Chen looked up; it was pitch black and impossible to see clearly, but the muffled sounds coming from above told everyone that the Nine Deaths Shocking Tomb Armor was still there.

The pale red mist was like the Sword of Damocles hanging over everyone's heads, ready to fall at any moment.

"Now we only have one path to choose from: either die here, or kill the Corpse Immortal, right?"

"Yes...yes!"

Feng Ziping responded subconsciously, as if he felt that one word was not enough, so he quickly added another word.

He noticed that Su Chen's gaze was off, and Feng Ziping lowered his head and urged him on.

"Now that we're here, let's hurry up and go inside."

"There are some things I haven't asked clearly."

Su Chen did not take a step, but instead looked at the person in front of him and asked.

"Now that the Corpse Immortal is right before your eyes, shouldn't you tell me what to do about these corpse spots?"

"Didn't I say? Only by killing the Corpse Immortal can we succeed!"

Feng Ziping was clearly anxious and no longer cared about being respectful.

Su Chen slowly lifted his wrist, glanced at the person in front of him again, and asked once more.

"Can you say that again?"
