"Boss, are there any problems? The life gate represents survival. Do you want to be a ghost?"
The fatty looked terrified and clutched his blood jade tighter.
"Boss, you can't be a Cao Thief."
Zhang Tian almost kicked the fatty away.
"I'm not as good as you at dealing with ghosts, don't worry. Besides, I cherish my life and won't joke about it."
Only when Zhang Tian spoke did the fatty move his eyes away from him.
Seeing how the fatty was afraid of someone snatching his wife, Hu Bayi couldn't help but laugh.
Zhang Qilin also pursed his lips. Well, when it came to this, the fatty was indeed the one.
"Old Hu, which gate do you think we should go through?"
Zhang Tian looked at Hu Bayi.
"I think it's all the same. Life and death are predetermined. Life is one path, death is another. Both life and death are great paths."
As Hu Bayi spoke, Zhang Tian nodded with satisfaction.
"Old Hu, I can't tell. We all received three years of education, how did you become such a talent?"
The fatty was stunned and gave Hu Bayi a thumbs up.
"I told you to read more every day, but you refused. You only wanted to sleep in bed every day."
Hu Bayi rolled his eyes at the fatty and said helplessly.
The fatty touched his head.
"Old Hu, you don't understand. An hour of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold."
The fatty winked, and Hu Bayi couldn't be bothered to argue with him anymore.
"Assuming both the life and death gates can be passed, but the dangers encountered are different, which one do you think would be more dangerous?"
Zhang Tian looked at the two stone gates. Carved on these stone gates were two statues of Yunding Tiangong, looking very solemn.
"It must be the death gate that's harder."
The fatty blurted out without thinking.
Zhang Tian slapped his forehead.
"Little fox, you tell me."
Zhang Tian looked at the little fox on the ground. This guy had entered the underwater tomb before, so he must have some abilities.
"Tuantuan doesn't know, but Tuantuan thinks it's safest not to go in!"
The little fox said with a serious expression.
What it said was not wrong. Not going in was definitely the safest.
"Let's go through the death gate."
Zhang Tian thought for a moment and said. After all, Wu Sansheng had survived by going through the death gate before, so there was a precedent.
Zhang Tian had no need to force his way through the life gate.
Standing on the shoulders of giants was better than venturing out on his own.
"Why? Isn't the death gate more dangerous?"
The fatty asked, confused.
"If you were Wang Canghai, which gate would you choose to make more dangerous?"
Zhang Tian suddenly asked. The fatty thought for a moment.
"The death gate..."
"Hiss... Old Hu, you tell me..."
"If I were Wang Canghai, it would definitely be the life gate. Ordinary people who come here will most likely choose the life gate. Life and death, survival is the inherent desire in everyone's heart."
As Hu Bayi spoke, Zhang Tian nodded.
"That's right. Look at the fatty, he just gave us a live performance of what ordinary people think."
Zhang Tian looked at the fatty, who was constantly expressing his desire to go through the life gate.
The fatty touched his head.
"Boss, please don't use me as a negative example. I think children would prefer me to be a positive role model."
As the fatty spoke, Zhang Tian didn't argue with him and looked at the gate.
"Be careful after we go in. Stay together as much as possible and don't get separated."
Zhang Tian said, and the group nodded and walked towards the death gate.
As they entered the death gate, a gust of Yin Qi rushed towards them.
It felt like falling into an ice cave.
"Such strong Yin Qi. It seems the death gate is a ghost den!"
Hu Bayi looked around. The compass needle spun wildly, indicating that the Yin Qi inside had exceeded the compass's acceptable level.
Seeing that the death gate was filled with Yin Qi, Zhang Tian didn't rush anymore.
If it were all monsters, it might be a bit difficult, as monsters were physical entities.
But ghosts were different. With a peach wood sword and a fire talisman, he could send them away directly.
It was basically a sure thing.
"Boss, will there be ghost cores here?"
When the fatty heard this, his whole demeanor lit up.
Imagine, what would his beautiful wife look like in a red wedding dress? Hmm, wouldn't he be as excited as the fatty?
"This is inside the death gate, the chance of ghost cores is slim. This is not the Ten Thousand People Cave."
Zhang Tian said that the Yin Qi here was likely formed by the spirits of the construction workers who died during the construction of the underwater tomb.
This would also form a barrier.
The construction of this underwater tomb in those years could not have been completed by one person, but by thousands of workers.
And this was underwater, where deaths were inevitable. Thus, the Yin spirits in the death gate could be explained.
"Fortunately, we drank the blood, otherwise, passing through this gate would have been very difficult."
Zhang Tian said, quickening his pace.
Zhang Qilin seemed to be here for the first time and appeared quite curious.
His gaze constantly swept around.
As they passed through the corridor, the Yin Qi grew stronger. Suddenly, countless palms appeared before their eyes.
The palms were neatly arranged, extending from both sides of the tomb chamber, of varying sizes.
But they looked like countless vengeful spirits reaching out to grab them.
The palms covered almost the entire corridor. To pass through, it seemed they had to go through the passage formed entirely by hands.
"Boss, it's a massage parlor!"
Seeing this, the fatty was not scared, but rather excited.
"Fatty, you call this a massage parlor?"
Zhang Tian looked at the endless palms and was speechless.
"Boss, you don't understand this. This is just a small matter. Fatty has seen much more!"
"Once, I dreamed that I fell into a tide of ghosts with countless eyes. Pfft, this is nothing. It's all a small problem. Let me lead the way."
The fatty said, swaggering ahead.
Zhang Tian, Hu Bayi, and Zhang Qilin exchanged glances.
They smiled.
Alright, the fatty had grown up, he was a mature fatty.
He could handle things on his own.
With this thought, Zhang Tian and the others followed behind the fatty.
When passing by the hands, the fatty acted as if nothing was wrong, walking ahead.
The hands seemed alive, constantly grabbing at the fatty, but they seemed to have no effect on him.
"Wait, Fatty's cultivation is focused on refining the physical body, but he hasn't broken through. Could it be because his body hasn't been tempered?"
"Boss, you mean?"
Hu Bayi asked.
"Endure punishment."
Suddenly, Zhang Qilin spoke.
His gaze became serious.
"Qilin, you tell me."
"For the physical body to break through, it must undergo tempering, which means being whipped."
Zhang Qilin said lightly.
Zhang Tian's lips curled.
He seemed to have discovered a new continent.
"Old Hu, Qilin, for Fatty's future safety, to prevent Fatty from being bullied by his princess in the future, I think as older brothers, we should do something."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Hu Bayi and Zhang Qilin looked over.
"Boss, you mean? Whip Fatty. Fatty needs to become stronger!"
As Zhang Tian spoke, both of them nodded.
At this moment, the fatty, who was undergoing "massage," was still unaware that he had been targeted.
A smug smile hung on his face.
"Heh heh, Boss, hurry up, don't be scared, these are small problems!"
The fatty said smugly, and Zhang Tian nodded and walked over with a smile.
Zhang Tian also held a small bronze bell in his hand.
This time, he had to give Fatty a hell difficulty to level him up.
