There were several paths leading up to the mountainside of Bagong Mountain. The tomb of the King of Huainan was built within the mountain's belly, with two hidden entrances, one east and one west, not easily found.
However, what was difficult to find for Bai Ye?
Umbrella Corporation's underground base was also difficult to find, yet Bai Ye had managed to enter. This was because Bai Ye knew where the entrance was.
On the mountainside, there was a winding mountain path heading south. Ascending along the path, one could see countless vines hanging down from the cliff face on one side.
Bai Ye followed the mountain path all the way to the mountainside, then stopped to observe, constantly pushing aside the surrounding vines.
A quarter of an hour later, a cave finally appeared before Bai Ye.
"Found it!"
Bai Ye entered the cave. The surroundings were somewhat damp, dark, and carried a musty odor. Occasionally, the sound of dripping water could be heard.
This seemed to be an ordinary mountain cave.
However, as Bai Ye continued to advance, a faint light gradually appeared within the cave. The decaying smell that had constantly permeated the air also lessened considerably. Although the surroundings remained damp, the sound of dripping water could no longer be heard.
Even the uneven cave walls became smooth, and finally...
A path paved with bluestone appeared before Bai Ye.
Traces of artificial construction suddenly appeared in the mountain cave. The surrounding walls became smooth, and every five meters, a stone dragon-head ever-burning lamp emitted a faint glow. Simultaneously, every five steps, stone pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes appeared on both sides of the cave.
Continuing forward for about three hundred steps, a massive stone door appeared before Bai Ye.
This was the entrance to the tomb of the King of Huainan!
Bai Ye grinned and stopped before the stone door. The next second...
"As a participant has discovered and entered the tomb of the King of Huainan, all currently present participants in the Bagong Mountain area will be transported to different locations within the tomb in three minutes."
"Restricted Zone Mission 1: Eliminate 15 Guardian Spirits within the tomb. Reward: 99 Dao Charms."
"Restricted Zone Mission 2: Extinguish the Nine Dragon Yin Yang Candles in the tomb. Reward: 1 Golden Thread Robe."
"Restricted Zone Mission 3: Obtain the Five Spirit Disk and leave the tomb of the King of Huainan. Reward: 1 Five Spirit Disk, 1 Great Xià Golden Pill, 5 Shards of God's Stone."
"Gentlemen, in order to obtain the Shards of God's Stone, please fight hard."
...
The restricted zone was activated, and all chosen ones within the Bagong Mountain area would be sent into the tomb of the King of Huainan.
Bai Ye didn't have to go through such trouble, as he was already standing at the tomb's entrance.
The heavy stone door creaked, and countless stone fragments constantly fell down before the massive stone door slowly opened.
As the huge stone door opened, it perfectly demonstrated what it meant to have a world of its own.
Behind the cave, the ground was paved with square blue bricks, and trees were planted around. Sunlight shone down from above. Looking up, Bai Ye realized the area above was open, allowing sunlight to enter.
Directly in front was the tomb entrance, built against the mountainside, with red eaves and white stone pillars. Below was a vermilion gate.
However, upon closer inspection, the red eaves were actually carved from rubies, and the white stone pillars were undeniably massive pieces of white jade.
Even the vermilion gate, which appeared ordinary, revealed upon closer examination that it was inlaid with pearls, each one extremely clear. Even someone unfamiliar with such matters would know its extraordinary value.
After surveying the surroundings, Bai Ye moved to the side of the mountain wall and began to climb with his bare hands, quickly reaching a protruding mountain terrace.
Bai Ye took out his gun case, retrieved the Death Strike, and attached the gun rack and scope.
The next step was to wait!
As a restricted zone, the tomb of the King of Huainan only had two entrances that could trigger restricted zone missions. However, this did not mean that the tomb of the King of Huainan only had two tomb doors. In reality, there were at least thirty entrances to the tomb, and the chosen ones would be randomly sent to these doors.
The ultimate objective, naturally, was the tomb chamber where the King of Huainan resided.
Therefore, Bai Ye's goal was simple. He could do nothing to those sent to other tomb doors, but he wanted this tomb door before him.
He wanted to ensure that there was only one person on this route, with no competitors...
He wanted to here...
Kill...
Everyone!
Bai Ye lay on the ground and began counting down in his mind. When the three minutes were up, people began to appear continuously before the tomb door.
Their expressions varied. Some looked bewildered, with a hint of fear and dread, as they were unfamiliar with the sudden appearance of the restricted zone and its purpose.
Others had vigilant expressions, quickly scanning their surroundings, even immediately calculating how to attack others. They might not have experienced restricted zones, but they came from worlds that were either long accustomed to war or constantly engaged in conflict, which made them very adaptable to such situations.
Bai Ye took everything in and then pressed himself closer to the sniper rifle.
"A total of twelve..." Bai Ye murmured softly, his finger lightly caressing the trigger. "The first one!"
Bang!
Bai Ye suddenly pulled the trigger, and the gunshot rang out.
A middle-aged man was still looking around, observing the situation. The moment the gun fired, the man's eyes widened, and a splash of blood suddenly flew from his temple, splattering on the ground.
The next instant, screams erupted.
The sudden death caused a moment of tension, which then erupted into chaos. Some panicked, while others immediately retreated, searching for Bai Ye's whereabouts.
Then...
"The second one!"
Bang!
Bai Ye murmured softly, followed by the second gunshot.
A woman slowly fell to the ground, looking at her chest in disbelief. A patch of bright red blood spread across her chest.
"Save, save, save me..."
The woman struggled to cry out, but found that with every word, blood coughed out from her mouth. Her consciousness began to fade, and the world around her blurred until it turned completely dark.
With a thud, the woman fell to the ground, and a pool of blood quickly formed beneath her.
Bai Ye did not hesitate. The moment the woman knelt, he aimed his gun at the next target.
A young man wearing a baseball cap and a black T-shirt.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out again, but at this very moment...
The young man seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around, looking in Bai Ye's direction, then stomped his foot forcefully.
...
