Chapter 225.2
The heck, such a big rock!
Lets run!
Everyone started to run in panic.
Only one person bravely charged out, standing in front of the boulder and shouting, Dont be afraid! I am Innate, and I can split this rock with one slash!
With that, he exerted all his strength and slashed down.
Boom
The rock remained unscathed.
His sword, however, broke into two pieces.
F*ck, its a diamond rock! Run!
The group scrambled away in a frenzy.
However, no matter how fast they ran, the boulder relentlessly pursued them, leaving them breathless.
Eight Master Hu, think of something! the people pleaded.
Dont panic, everyone. Ill find us a way out!
Eight Master Hu, running at the front, took out the compass and muttered, Seek the dragon to divide the gold, divide the gold by observing the coiled mountains. Each coil represents a barrier
He then pointed in a direction: Theres the way out, lets run that way!
Hurry up, listen to Eight Master Hu!
But within less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, another rumbling noise came from ahead.
Looking closely, another huge boulder was rolling towards them.
Eight Master Hu was dumbfounded: This was clearly a way out. How could there be a boulder here?
Two giant boulders blocked both ends, rolling towards the center and crushing everything in their path.
There was no escape, and everyone panicked.
This is no way out. Its a dead end!
Eight Master Hu, youve led us astray!
Were done for, well be flattened into pancakes!
The two boulders drew closer and then collided with a loud bang.
Screams followed as three people were crushed into a pulp.
The others managed to survive by hiding in the crevices between the boulders, but the sight of the three flattened companions left them deeply shaken.
After crawling out from between the boulders, they gathered their belongings and continued forward, their mood significantly heavier.
Eight Master Hu took out a compass and said, Well take this path next!
Eight Master Hu, are you sure? We just followed you and nearly got flattened! Wang Pangzi questioned.
Eight Master Hu was also a bit embarrassed: That was just an accident, trust me, theres no mistake this time!
About the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea later.
With his keen ears, Wu Xie whispered, Do you hear that? Is there some kind of noise?
There is indeed some noise. It sounds like running water!
Its right ahead!
Next, they encountered many traps and mechanisms roughly every hour, leaving them exhausted and drained.
The traps and mechanisms varied: there were boulders, blades, volcanic lava, and bewildering smoke
But every day, they would fall into a cesspit about three times.
It disgusted them beyond words.
Meanwhile, their numbers dwindled daily.
They started with more than 20 people, and now only 5 remain.
Eight Master Hu, Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, Ni Pusa, and the sole Innate.
Despite encountering so many traps and mechanisms, they hadnt even caught a glimpse of the tomb. Their hearts were filled with a sense of defeat.
If I had known, I would never have come!
Wang Pangzi said bitterly: In my life, Ive eaten more shit than Ive shat!
Could you have refused to come? They put a knife on your neck, how dare you not come? Wu Xie replied irritably.
Lets all save our breath and conserve some energy. Who knows what kind of traps well encounter next! Eight Master Hu said weakly, wishing he could just die.
The other two sat silently, not uttering a word.
.
Outside, a week had already passed.
The Grandmasters were growing increasingly anxious.
How come they havent come out after such a long time?
I sent someone to check, and all the clues they left behind have been cut off!
Could they have died?
Dont talk nonsense! Everyone else made it out. Theyre so strong, so they should be fine!
Maybe theyve found the tomb of Heavenly Khan and are excavating it!
Not far away, Great Xia was still busy conducting business.
By now, almost a month had passed since the tomb was discovered.
The number of treasure hunters that had gathered here had reached an astonishing 800,000, providing Great Xia with millions, even tens of millions of taels in revenue daily, making Lin Beifans profits overflow.
Tourism is really a lucrative business! Lin Beifan thought to himself with glee.
He really wanted to keep this business going forever, but unfortunately, things dont always go as one wishes.
Another month went by, and the number of treasure hunters continued to increase, yet they found nothing.
The Grandmasters finally lost their patience.
We cant wait any longer, lets forcefully break in!
