Looking at the Bagua mirror, Zhang Tian hesitated before slowly reaching out and taking it out.
Beneath the Bagua mirror was a jade pendant, something Zhang Tian hadn't expected.
However, as soon as the Bagua mirror was removed, the golden-threaded jade suit began to ooze evil energy.
It was black, like smoke, and it poured out continuously.
"Damn it, this is bad. This Bagua mirror is for suppressing evil. Lao Hu, Fatty, quickly close the lid, put the coffin inside, and let's get out of here."
Zhang Tian wasn't foolish. If this thing truly came back to life, he wouldn't be able to handle it.
Hu Bayi, seeing the black mist seeping from the jade burial suit, knew in his heart that this was extremely dangerous.
The two of them exerted all their strength to close the coffin lid.
Even after the coffin lid was closed, it still shook slightly. Then, Zhang Tian closed the outer coffin. Once that was done, Zhang Tian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go," Zhang Tian said, and the three of them immediately climbed up the ancient tree.
As they climbed, Zhang Tian began to assess the items he had obtained on this trip.
"We've gained quite a lot this time."
"After getting rid of the broken sword, I not only obtained the corpse beetle, but also the sword, the Bagua mirror, and finally, four jade pendants for bestowing teachings. This way, there's one for each of us."
"The jade pendant from the altar goes to Fatty, I'll keep the Bagua mirror from Lu Shangwang, and the one for the strategist goes to Hu Bayi. Perfect."
Zhang Tian was very satisfied with the haul.
A jade pendant for bestowing teachings could only be used once.
This meant it could only impart knowledge to one person.
Therefore, these items were not repeatable.
This was a form of personal inheritance. If they were repeatable, wouldn't the world be filled with countless heroes?
The three of them continued to climb.
About two hours later.
The three of them reached a cliff.
It was afternoon, and the sun was still shining.
"Damn it, how long have we been in this tomb, Fatty? The sky is still bright."
Fatty looked at the boundless mountains around them, feeling a sense of awe.
At this moment, Zhang Tian noticed that the Princess, who had been on Fatty's back, was gone. Instead, the blood jade on Fatty's body was faintly emitting a chilling aura.
She must have hidden inside.
Zhang Tian looked at the sunlight and felt an overwhelming sense of comfort. Checking his watch, he realized they had been in the tomb for three days.
"Let's go, we'll head back first. We can talk about everything later," Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi and Fatty, both exhausted, nodded in agreement.
Without further hesitation, the three of them, carrying their backpacks, headed directly towards where they had started.
"Hey, Boss, why is blood leaking out of your backpack?" Fatty asked Zhang Tian, looking confused.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian quickly opened his backpack.
Inside, the Corpse Beetle King had eaten all the chickens, dogs, and snakes.
Its mouth was stained red with blood.
It opened and closed, looking quite terrifying.
Zhang Tian and Fatty, along with the third person, were stunned.
"That's brutal, Boss. If you keep it, even a thief breaking into your house would probably leave holding their backside." Fatty gave a thumbs-up.
"Haha, even a fly going to your place would have to hold its backside," Hu Bayi chimed in with a jest.
Clearly, the relationship between the three had become much closer.
And Hu Bayi's mood seemed to have improved as well. He was even cracking jokes.
Zhang Tian didn't mind it at all; in fact, he quite liked it. After all, it was a sign of true brotherhood when one could joke around.
"If it were to bite, it would definitely bite you two idiots first," Zhang Tian said, giving them a glare before closing his backpack.
Coincidentally, the Corpse Beetle had eaten the three animals, saving Lin Tian the trouble of feeding it.
At the same time, Lin Tian planned to create a dark room and a pool to raise it, and once it was tamed.
It would naturally become his pet.
The three of them began to make their way to the off-road vehicle.
Meanwhile, inside the tomb.
Wu Xie and Third Uncle had already reunited.
Wang Fatty looked at Wu Xie and Third Uncle with a speechless expression.
"Damn, you scared me to death. You guys are something else." Fatty patted his chest, looking at Xiao Ge.
"Fatty, what are you doing here?" Wu Xie asked, his eyes wide with surprise.
Wang Fatty smiled.
"We were chasing that bull-headed guy, so I followed these tomb robbers all the way here. I didn't expect it to be so big..."
"If it weren't for my cleverness, I would have died long ago." Fatty said proudly, with an air of arrogance.
He was a far cry from the Wang Kaixuan that Zhang Tian knew.
One was arrogant and brave, the other loved to banter. They were quite different.
"Enough, stop talking. Where are those tomb robbers?" Third Uncle said, but before he could say more, Xiao Ge's expression turned serious.
"Hurry, the blood people are coming!" Xiao Ge said, leading the group in a frantic escape.
Soon, to evade the blood people, they entered a tomb and encountered a dejected Ah Ning.
Ah Ning was now alone, with only one person by her side.
Ah Ning looked disheveled and as if she had suffered some inhuman treatment.
Upon seeing Ah Ning, Wang Fatty directly tugged at his sleeve, intending to teach her a lesson.
"Wu Xie, you have no idea how detestable she is. Let me teach her a lesson." Fatty said, about to make a move.
Wu Xie quickly stopped him, "Fatty, don't be so hasty. Look at her, she's also disheveled. She must be suffering too."
Wu Xie looked at Ah Ning.
The others also looked over.
Third Uncle frowned slightly as he looked at Ah Ning.
"After all the dangers and traps, it's impossible for her to have deciphered them."
Ah Ning's face was weathered, and she had wounds on her face. She looked like a stray dog. Third Uncle would never believe that she could have broken the Seven Star Coffin.
"Could there be someone else?"
Thinking this, Third Uncle took a breath. Not only were there their two groups, but there was a third one as well!
"Are you alright?" Wu Xie asked softly, supporting Ah Ning.
Ah Ning pushed Wu Xie away.
"I don't need your concern!"
She said, her expression even more defiant.
"Let's go quickly, the blood corpse is coming again." Xiao Ge said, looking behind them with a cold voice.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a creature covered in blood, with a gaping maw, crawled out. Its entire body was covered in bloodstains. Its eyes were bloodshot, and the rotten flesh on its body emitted a faint stench. It looked like a resurrected dead person.
"Quick, move."
Seeing this, Wu Xie quickly pushed Ah Ning aside, but unfortunately, he was bitten.
Xiao Ge furrowed his brow, and with a slash of his knife, he killed the blood person.
This was a deviation from the original plot. Ah Ning looked at the injured Wu Xie and then at the headless corpse on the ground.
She felt a pang of regret.
Wu Xie's face immediately turned pale.
Xiao Ge directly cut his own hand, letting his blood flow out to feed Wu Xie.
It was like feeding a beloved wife.
After drinking the blood, Wu Xie felt much better.
"He's been poisoned by blood and needs immediate help," Wu Xie said coldly, then walked ahead without waiting for others to say more.
Third Uncle looked at Ah Ning.
"When did you come in? Did you find anything after entering?" Third Uncle asked urgently.
At the same time, he bandaged Wu Xie's wound. Third Uncle knew that Xiao Ge would definitely have a way to save Wu Xie.
Therefore, he wasn't too anxious, but he was very curious whether Ah Ning was the one who broke the formation.
"No, before we arrived, someone else had already entered. After we came in, almost everyone was dead, and they didn't get anything."
"Someone got here first." Ah Ning said with some sadness, her voice softening considerably.
Third Uncle nodded, his expression serious.
"They not only broke the蛟蛇, but also the Seven Star Coffin and the altar outside. It seems we've encountered a tough opponent this time." Third Uncle muttered, his gaze fixed on Wu Xie.
"Little Master, you'll be fine soon. Let's go." Third Uncle said, supporting Wu Xie as they followed behind Xiao Ge. He hoped Xiao Ge could save Wu Xie.
Thus, the group arrived at the ancient tree.
When they saw the coffin that had been pulled out from beneath the ancient tree, everyone was stunned.
