Approaching the door, the mechanism was opened from the outside, but exiting from the inside would be a bit troublesome.
Above the door, there were three patterns. One was a vibrant flower, another was a road.
The third depicted a person on the road.
The person was slightly hunched, resembling an old man.
"A road full of flowers, with an old man walking on it?"
"Or perhaps, this is the old man's home?"
Zhang Tian looked at the flower on the door, his brow furrowed, and spoke.
"I've looked, this door can't be opened without some mechanism."
Hu Ba Yi surveyed the area, finally concluding that it was a mechanical door.
"This flower is strange, and this road... it's like the Yellow Springs Road."
Fatty pointed at the patterns on the door, looking confused.
"Right, the Yellow Springs Road!"
"This might be the Netherworld Flower. Flowers bloomed all over the road, and this old man died amidst this sea of flowers."
"I don't know what this means, but I think if there's an answer, it's most likely over there."
Zhang Tian pointed to a mural not far away.
The mural depicted the Netherworld Flower.
Without hesitation, Zhang Qilin moved his feet a few times and was already in front of the mural.
He lightly brushed his fingers over the mural.
The next moment, he plunged his hand in and pulled out a purple flower.
The flower had not withered after many years, and it still bloomed with an eerie purple hue.
"Is this the Netherworld Flower?"
Seeing the flower, Zhang Tian was surprised.
Wang Cang Hai actually hid this thing here. No wonder the little fox couldn't get out. If they hadn't found the acrostic poem, it would have been very difficult to discover.
Moreover, Zhang Tian didn't understand the meaning of the carvings on the wall.
As Zhang Qilin took the flower, the large door opened.
Zhang Qilin handed the Netherworld Flower to Zhang Tian, and then the group, along with the little fox, exited the tomb.
"They're professionals."
The little fox's eyes lit up as she saw Zhang Qilin take out the little flower.
So handsome!
Especially Zhang Qilin's serious expression, his sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, and tall physique. Tsk tsk tsk, this fox immortal was instantly smitten.
If Zhang Tian knew that this was a fickle fox, one could only imagine his reaction.
After leaving, Zhang Tian and the others put on their breathing masks.
Then, the tomb door opened.
It was still dark. The searchlight was broken, so everyone could only grope their way forward.
Zhang Tian felt his hand being pulled by someone, his palm turning cold.
The next moment, he saw Zhang Qilin pulling him forward to swim.
"Can you see the way?"
Zhang Tian was a little surprised.
Zhang Qilin nodded, then led Zhang Tian and the others towards another tomb chamber.
Meanwhile, on Wu Tianzhen's side.
Wu Tianzhen and his group had already entered the tomb passage.
Looking at the long, dark passage, everyone was panting.
"Let's rest here for a while. We're too tired, and this tomb is too vast. It's hard for us to get out immediately."
Professor Chen said. He was advanced in years, and after experiencing so much, to have held on until now was, in a way, remarkable.
"Then let's rest here for now."
Wu Tianzhen said, and everyone sat down in the tomb passage.
They were all quite weary, unlike Zhang Tian, whose body was as strong as an ox and knew no fatigue.
After sitting in the tomb passage, Wu Tianzhen seemed to recall something.
"Right, my third uncle gave me a jade pendant before, which I never used. Shall I try practicing with it now?"
Wu Tianzhen thought to himself and took the jade pendant from his neck.
This was the jade pendant Wu Sansheng had given him when he first spoke of martial artists. Wu Tianzhen had never used it.
The others paid no mind to Wu Tianzhen and continued to rest.
The atmosphere was rather somber. After all, they had lost two team members, and anyone would be in a bad mood.
Wu Tianzhen held the jade pendant, and as his third uncle had instructed, he focused his consciousness entirely on the pendant.
Gradually, Wu Tianzhen found that a cultivation technique appeared in his mind!
Wu Tianzhen rejoiced and quickly studied it carefully. This strange encounter made him exceptionally excited.
"Miss Shirley, what did you learn in the US? Why do I feel like you know everything?"
Wang Fatty looked at Shirley Yang, with a hint of admiration on his face.
Wang Banyue was an adventurer and a brave person, but he now realized that sometimes his courage was not as great as a woman's.
Especially when Shirley Yang was planting explosives, her heroic demeanor made Wang Fatty's eyes light up.
"Nothing much. I just learned some combat skills, demolition, gliding, exploration, rock climbing, medicine, diving..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Alright, Fatty was wrong."
Fatty waved his hand and interrupted.
Good heavens, was this person a robot? To possess so many skills, she was even more versatile than a robot.
"Huh? Tianzhen is so tired he's fallen asleep. Oh well, that's understandable. This tomb, Fatty feels, is even more formidable than the last one."
Wang Fatty grumbled.
"You've been to other tombs?"
Shirley Yang seized on the key point and spoke.
"Yeah, we went to the Lu King's Palace before. What a shame, there was nothing there, and we even contributed something. But this time is much better, aren't there so many porcelain pieces outside?"
"It wasn't for nothing."
Fatty said smugly.
He had already secretly stuffed a few pieces of jade into his pocket, and when they returned, he would surely get rich.
It should be said that both fat men had one characteristic: terrible taste!
They both liked to take jade, and the least valuable kind at that, which was absurd.
"I see."
"Have you met Zhang Tian before?"
Shirley Yang asked.
Fatty shook his head.
"According to Tianzhen, that Zhang Tian is just a cunning merchant who also runs an antique shop."
"I don't know anything else."
Fatty said, and Shirley Yang hummed without saying more.
While everyone was resting, Wu Tianzhen had entered a state of self-forgetfulness.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian's group had arrived at the entrance of a tomb chamber.
The entrance was blocked by many vines, which coiled around the entire tomb door several times.
It looked like a sea serpent entwined around the entire door.
"Boss, this thing is locked too tight, it won't open."
Fatty, wearing a breathing mask, pulled hard at the door.
It was useless.
Zhang Tian, holding a peach wood sword, made a few swipes on it, but it was also ineffective.
"I'll do it."
Seeing this, Zhang Qilin stepped forward. With the Black Gold Ancient Saber in hand, he slashed it. Instantly, the saber light flashed, and the vines actually parted on their own.
"Good heavens, Second Brother, are you a masochist?"
Fatty exclaimed in surprise.
Zhang Tian gave Fatty a dismissive look, then turned his attention to the tomb door.
It was very dark all around, and Zhang Tian had to get very close to see clearly.
The tomb door was carved with the image of a sea monster and a woman with disheveled hair.
The entire tomb door was enormous, a full three meters tall.
The woman occupied half the door, and the sea monster occupied the other half.
The sea monster's head faced the woman, and the woman's face faced the sea monster.
They seemed to be looking at each other.
"It should be correct."
Zhang Tian looked at the tomb door and gently pushed it open.
Seawater poured in.
The group then entered.
As Zhang Tian stepped inside, two heads were looking down at them from above.
Their hair dangled down. Fortunately, they couldn't be seen, otherwise, Zhang Tian would have been terrified.
Upon entering, it was largely the same as the previous tomb chamber.
The design was hollowed out.
After opening the large door, unlike the previous one, it was very damp inside.
And there were some glowing stones on the walls, which looked very eerie.
The light emitted by the stones was green, and the entire tomb chamber was bathed in a verdant hue.
Fatty looked at Zhang Tian's head.
"Boss, your head is so green..."
