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

Before General Manager Huang could finish his last sentence, the triangular snakes surged out of the coffin.

The number of triangular snakes increased, gradually engulfing General Manager Huang and his subordinates.

Only one person managed to escape in a sorry state and break out of the main burial chamber.

……

the other side.

Su Chen's gaze fell on Yi Xiao.

Yi Xiao kept his eyes fixed on the giant snake's head—no, he was actually staring directly above it.

"It's the Four Seas Ancestral Token, which has been missing for many years. I never expected to find it here."

After noticing Su Chen's gaze, Yi Xiao took the initiative to explain.

The Four Seas Ancestral Token is the most important treasure of their family. Whoever possesses the Four Seas Ancestral Token will become the master of the Three Rivers Water Demon, and all three families must obey the orders of the family head.

"It's probably this ancestral tablet that caused the giant snake to mutate," Su Chen guessed.

"Give me a hand."

Su Chen looked at the black-backed sixth brother.

The other party immediately understood Su Chen's meaning, and, holding a Guanshan knife, began to lure the giant snake.

With a single slash, he created a wound on the giant snake's body.

However, the wound was too shallow; to the giant snake, it was no different from a tickle.

Even bullets cannot penetrate its body.

However, Blackback Six leaped and dodged in front of the giant snake, enraging the snake.

A small creature kept provoking it, yet it couldn't kill it.

The giant snake focused all its attention on Blackback Six.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Chen jumped onto the back of the giant snake, leaping continuously until he reached the top of the snake's head.

The Four Seas Ancestral Token was inlaid on the top of the giant snake's head.

As it lunged to attack Blackback Six, Su Chen used all his strength to pull the Four Seas Ancestral Token from the top of the giant snake's head.

The next second, the giant snake seemed to lose all its strength and fell out of its mouth.

Having lost the Four Seas Ancestral Token, the giant serpent seemed to have lost all its source of power and all its vitality.

Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

He fell from the sky and plunged into the deep pool.

Just as everyone was about to save him, they discovered that Su Chen was enveloped in a light blue light.

The Four Seas Ancestral Tablet was glowing, and the ancestral essence was continuously merging into Su Chen's body.

This process lasted for about three minutes before it subsided.

"I didn't expect it was him who obtained the Four Seas Ancestral Token?"

Yi Xiao's expression changed drastically, and when she looked at Su Chen, there was a hint of respect in her eyes.

Black-backed Lao Liu wanted to go into the pool to rescue Su Chen, but Yi Xiao stopped him, saying, "I'll go instead."

Not only because she was a good swimmer, but more importantly because of Su Chen's identity.

Su Chen is now the master of the Three Rivers Water Demon and will lead the three families.

After Su Chen got ashore, he changed into dry clothes.

The giant snake's corpse floated in the pool, but the group paid it no further attention and headed straight for the main burial chamber.

At the same time, the triangular snakes in the main burial chamber gradually dispersed and disappeared without a trace.

In the corridor, there was a large amount of rubble piled up.

Previously, in order to stop the crowd, General Manager Huang deliberately blew up the passage.

Fortunately, there were many people here. Even though the giant snake had killed more than half of them, there were still fifty or sixty engineers alive.

Under Battalion Commander Chen's orders, the engineers moved the rubble and cleared a path.

Immediately, the group headed to the main burial chamber.

"There's someone here!"

Black-backed Old Six spoke up to remind him.

One of General Manager Huang's subordinates was lying on the ground, seriously injured.

At this moment, his breath was very weak; he could only exhale and not inhale.

"Save...save the chief."

With his last breath, the subordinate uttered these words.

He was loyal and followed the chief all the way, but Huang Zhankui never expected that he would lead them to their deaths.

"Died from snake venom."

After examining his injuries, Jin Suanpan slowly said, "There's nothing that can be done. I estimate that General Manager Huang's condition is also not optimistic."

Huang Zhankui's original intention was to blow up the passage so that Su Chen, Jin Suanpan, and Battalion Commander Chen could stop the giant snakes and create an opportunity for him.

Unexpectedly, this also blocked his escape route.

It was a classic case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead; he even lost his own life.

Before long, the group arrived at the main burial chamber, only to find that the coffin inside was empty.

General Manager Huang and several of his subordinates were bitten by triangular snakes, their bodies covered in wounds, their faces unrecognizable, and they were beyond dead.

Several of General Manager Huang's subordinates did not come in with him at the time.

They remained on the opposite bank and, along with the engineers, narrowly survived the giant snake's attack.

Upon seeing the body of Boss Huang, these people were dejected, like stray dogs, silently cleaning up Boss Huang's head.

"He tricked us, and now Huang Zhankui thinks he can get a peaceful burial? Dream on!"

Battalion Commander Chen cursed, "I'll make sure he never has a moment's peace, even in death."

When General Huang was still alive, he knew many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, which made Battalion Commander Chen somewhat wary of him.

Now that he's dead, who among those high-ranking officials and nobles will still help him?

Battalion Commander Chen was not going to be polite.

"Battalion Commander Chen, let him go."

Jin Suanpan smiled wryly, "It's not that I'm being righteous, but I can't help feeling a sense of shared sorrow and sympathy for those of the same kind."

"They're all tomb raiders. If I die in the future, I hope someone can take care of my grave."

Working in this line of work carries the constant risk of death.

Who can guarantee they won't run into trouble the next time they go down into a tomb?

"Then let him off the hook for Master Jin's sake," Battalion Commander Chen cursed. "From now on, all of you Huang family members, get out of Shenyang, or my gun won't be polite."

Under Battalion Commander Chen's angry rebuke, the Huang family dared not refute him. After carefully collecting Huang's head and body, they left the tomb of Emperor Taizu of Liao.

With one less power vying for the spoils, it means the others will receive a larger share.

The main problem now is, where exactly is the coffin of Emperor Taizu of Liao?

They searched the entire main burial chamber and side chambers, but found no trace of it.

"Could it be inside that giant snake's body?"

Yi Xiao guessed, "After all, we've searched all the places we could, except for that giant snake."

"Go and see!"

Su Chen led his men back to the edge of the pool and used a thick rope to pull the giant snake's body to the shore.

Then, they began to disembowel the giant snake.

Before long, they finally discovered something.

A coffin made of black iron was pulled out of the giant snake's belly.

The coffin was covered with many strange patterns and cuneiform script.

"It's a symbol used for burial and for praying for blessings; it doesn't have any special meaning."

After recognizing the meaning of the characters, Jin Suanpan explained them.

Only then did everyone feel relieved.

"Is this the coffin of Emperor Taizu of Liao?"

Yi Xiao said in surprise, she didn't expect that she actually guessed right.

"Open the coffin quickly!"

Battalion Commander Chen rubbed his hands together excitedly, "He was a prince after all, he must have been buried with a lot of good things, right?"

Under Jin Suanpan's direction, the group began to open the coffin.
