Chapter Index

    “Boss, I feel that there may be a great opportunity for me in this ancient tomb.” Guo Ran whispered to Long Chen.

    “How do you know?” Long Chen said in surprise.

    “Boss, look, most of the protagonists in these murals are an old man, building something.

    If I’m not wrong, this ancient tomb is probably the tomb of a craftsman. Since ancient times, craftsmen like to bring their life’s experience into their own tombs. They don’t even pass it on to their disciples,” Guo Randao said.

    Long Chen nodded slightly. What Guo Ran said made sense. Since ancient times, all those who are skilled in craftsmanship like to “keep a secret”.

    This is also the so-called “pressure box bottom”. In ancient times, the so-called box bottom also referred to the bottom of the coffin.

    Often some brilliant people would leave behind some of their unique skills and take them into the coffin. This also led to the loss of many martial arts and combat skills in later generations.

    Later, many people set their sights on some ancient tombs. However, those ancient tombs must have no descendants.

    Otherwise, if you dig up someone else’s ancestral grave, you will cause a feud that will last forever. No one would do that.

    Facts have proven that most strong people have this habit of taking things they are proud of throughout their lives into their coffins.

    When some inheritances are about to be extinguished, you can also enter the tombs of your ancestors and take out the inherited items. This can also be regarded as a means of inheritance.

    The ancient tomb in front of us is frighteningly old. If the owner of the tomb left any inheritance, it would be absolutely shocking.

    After hearing Guo Ran’s inference, Long Chen also felt that it was similar to Guo Ran’s inference. He couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed.

    Because he saw the pattern of nine stars in the sky in the picture, he thought he could find relevant clues in this tomb.

    But Long Chen discovered that apart from that pattern, there were several other pictures whose contents could be barely discerned. They were all related to castings.

    Guo Ran’s estimate was correct. The owner of this ancient tomb should be a master forger. The content on the picture should be to commemorate his achievements.

    Long Chen has no interest in casting. However, it seems that Guo Ran has a special liking for this aspect. It is indeed a great opportunity for him.

    Long Chen and Guo Ran observed all the murals in turn. The people in the hall are now divided into three factions: the decent faction, the evil faction and Long Chen’s faction.

    Although there were only two people on Long Chen’s side, no one dared to underestimate them. They all remained vigilant.

    “Hey. There is a circle on the mural here.”

    Suddenly, a righteous disciple saw a circle on a mural. The circle was very inconspicuous.

    In fact, that circle is an eye of a ferocious ancient beast in the picture. However, the ancient beast is painted lifelike. Only its eyes are too round and a bit weird.

    However, that kind of ancient beast has long been extinct in the outside world, and has never even been heard of. At first, everyone thought that the eyes of ancient beasts were like this.

    But after searching for several days, no one found any clues. Finally, we started looking at the details. As a result, we discovered that there was something wrong with the eyeball.

    I took a closer look and saw that the center of the eyeball was a button. The man casually touched the button.

    “Rumble”

    Suddenly, the entire ancient tomb shook violently. Everyone’s expressions changed. If the ancient tomb collapsed, everyone would die.

    “Click”

    The ground in the hall suddenly cracked. A huge stone step appeared, extending straight underground.

    Suddenly, such a passage appeared. Whether it was the disciples of the righteous way or the strong men of the evil way, they all rushed towards the entrance of the cave.

    “Whoosh whoosh whoosh…”

    “Ahhhh…”

    Just a few steps after everyone rushed in, suddenly dense holes appeared on the wall. Countless arrows shot out from the holes. More than a dozen people were killed immediately.

    The entrance to the cave is extremely narrow. It is only about ten feet square. It is difficult to escape in such a narrow place.

    And even if they retreated, the people behind them were rushing forward at full speed and could not retreat at all. As a result, they were all shot into hedgehogs by the terrifying arrows.

    Originally, everyone thought that entering the cave entrance would be the treasure house. They were afraid that they would be overtaken by others if they arrived late.

    However, people with such a mentality are relatively weak in cultivation. People with strong strength are not afraid, because even if others get the treasure, they can still snatch it away.

    As a result, people stepped back one after another and looked at the hole with horrified faces.

    Only then did people realize that the cave was so long that there was no end in sight. Everyone’s scalps went numb for a while.

    A sneer appeared on the faces of Long Chen and Guo Ran. They are a bunch of idiots. Are they fools when they think that other craftsmen are?

    If there is a legacy left behind, why not leave behind a backup plan? Could it be that the tomb robbers are being advantaged?

    There must be a correct way to open this ancient tomb. If it is not opened according to the correct method, there will definitely be many traps behind it. Every step will lead to a trap until you die.

    “Hoo”

    Suddenly there was a strong man. Two huge arc-shaped shields appeared in his hands. He bucked them on his body and rolled forward like a ball.

    “Good idea”

    This method makes everyone’s eyes shine. As long as you protect your whole body tightly, you don’t have to worry about arrows coming from all directions.

    But just when they were about to imitate that man, suddenly there was a scream from inside. People looked at it in shock.

    The first few dozen feet that the man entered were all safe. But when he reached twenty feet, what was shot out of the wall were no longer arrows, but javelins.

    Those javelins were as thick as eggs and extremely sharp. The man’s shield was no different from an eggshell in front of those javelins, and he was killed instantly.

    But he died a worthy death. He set a new distance for everyone. So far, he is the first.

    As a result, everyone was dumbfounded. Such an attack could only be blocked by a spiritual soldier-level shield. Otherwise, death would be inevitable.

    However, spiritual weapon-level materials are extremely precious. They are generally used to make weapons. They are rarely used to make armor.

    Even if someone has a spiritual weapon level shield, it is absolutely impossible to have two such shields. Without two such shields, it is absolutely impossible to pass.

    “Boss, is there any way?” Guo Ran couldn’t help but feel itchy when he saw those powerful mechanisms.

    “The owner of this tomb is probably not a particularly powerful person. I think I can send you there,” Long Chen said.

    “Boss, how can you tell that the owner of this tomb is not that powerful?” Guo Ran said in disbelief.

    “Because the mechanisms on this corridor are all triggering mechanisms. In other words, as long as they don’t touch the ground, walls and cave ceiling, those mechanisms will not be triggered,” Long Chen said.

    “If you don’t even touch it, then you have to fly over.” Guo Ran was puzzled.

    “Well, you just need to fly over. So, this mechanism is for practitioners below the Xiantian realm. Above the Xiantian realm, you can turn spiritual energy into wings and fly directly over.

    Moreover, this corridor is only 300 feet long. There are nine different mechanisms, ranging from weak to strong, extending to the end.

    So I concluded that the owner of this tomb is not a peerless strong man, because the grave of a peerless master would never place the mechanisms so densely. Instead, he would design countless levels. Each level would have different traps.

    Besides, you have also seen that the path of this tomb is not particularly complicated, nor is it grand. You should be able to identify the owner,” Long Chen analyzed.

    Guo Ran nodded. The specifications of such a tomb are indeed not suitable for the status of that peerless strong man. He couldn’t help but said a little disappointed: “Isn’t it a waste of joy?”

    “You’re wrong. This is what you should be most grateful for. If this is the tomb of a peerless strong man, with our single cultivation level, will we still be able to get out alive after entering?” Long Chen said with a smile.

    Guo Ran couldn’t help but his eyes lit up when he heard this. That’s right. If it were the tomb of a peerless powerful man, how could anyone disturb it? There would definitely be no way in or out.

    “So, even if you have a chance, you have to have the life to take it. This opportunity is just right for you. Not too big, not too small,” Long Chen said.

    No matter what kind of person the owner of this tomb is, if there is really a treasure in the tomb, it will definitely be something incredible to them now.

    As for whether there is or not, this is a gamble. A gamble at the cost of life.

    But practice itself is a gamble. Sometimes luck is more important than strength.

    The screams continued, because from time to time some people refused to give up and tried various ways to move forward, but they all ended in failure.

    All losers lost their lives. It was very tragic. A tunnel stopped everyone.

    Just like what Long Chen said, unless you can fly over like a strong person in the Xiantian realm, you can only watch helplessly.

    “Hoo”

    Suddenly, an evil powerful man waved his hand and flew out a flying claw. He directly grabbed a javelin and pulled it back.

    The chain of the flying claw is very long. It can fly more than thirty feet. But that is already the limit. It cannot be longer.

    “Good guy. I’m afraid the materials are comparable to those of spiritual soldiers.”

    When they saw clearly the material of the javelin, the evil disciples let out a cry of surprise.

    The javelin was extremely heavy to hold. It actually weighed several thousand kilograms. When it was poked into the stone bricks on the ground, a big hole was immediately poked into the thick stone bricks.

    Everyone couldn’t help but be horrified. They looked up and looked into the cave. They saw no traces on the stone walls inside the cave.

    You know, those javelins were shot from the wall and hit the stone wall hard. The stone wall was not damaged at all. Doesn’t it mean that the stone wall is stronger?

    Even the stone wall is a treasure. So what good things are hidden on the other side? Everyone’s heart is burning.

    “Can you keep touching the mechanism and let the stone wall fire continuously? When the mechanism is used up, can’t we pass?” A righteous disciple said with bright eyes.

    “Idiot. Do you think the designer is as idiotic as you? You can’t think of such a simple method. Even if the entire cave is filled, the mechanism will not be exhausted. How can you go there to hunt for treasures then?” An evil disciple mocked mercilessly.

    “You…” The righteous disciple was furious and wanted to curse, but after taking one look at the man’s fierce look, he swallowed the words before he spoke.

    “If you don’t want to shit, don’t occupy the latrine. Let Mr. Guo show you what the shocking means are.”

    Guo Ran’s voice was full of arrogance, making everyone look behind them.
