The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2127: Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet!
magic weapon?

Lin Chen turned his head: "That's how it looks for now, but nobody knows what it'll be like inside."

Lu Yao smiled slightly: "I'll give it a try."

Lu Yao took out a golden ring that looked like it was made of gold from his spatial ring and casually tossed it away. The ring immediately shone with golden light, as if he were wearing a golden suit of armor.

The golden circle flew into the passage. At first, everything was fine and it passed without any obstruction. But when it reached the place where the stone had been shattered, the light suddenly dimmed a lot, but it did not shatter like the stone.

The golden circle continued to approach, until it reached the side of the tomb, where it circled around before flying back along the passage.

Lin Chen observed carefully and found that the golden ring was not attacked again when it returned.

"It should be some kind of attack formation, not a defensive barrier. Otherwise, it shouldn't have been shattered by the attack, but rather blocked outside."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "If the tomb's owner wanted to prevent people from approaching, why didn't he use a defensive barrier? Since he was able to set up such a magnificent tomb and array, surely he could have set up a defensive barrier..."

Lu Yao was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Perhaps this passage was left by the tomb's owner on his own initiative, as a test, not an obstacle."

Lin Chen's eyes suddenly widened: "A test?"

Lu Yao nodded: "Many powerful beings know they are going to die, but they have no disciples to inherit their extraordinary abilities. Naturally, they want to find a destined person to pass on their skills. This is the main reason why countless opportunities exist."

"No matter how powerful the people in this tomb were in life, they couldn't withstand the calamities of this world, could they? They must have died unwillingly. Building such a magnificent tomb, leaving a path, and setting up some trials to await the destined one, that should make sense, right?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Chen realized that Lu Yao's statement was indeed correct.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the distant tomb: "Even if we get closer, what then?"

Lu Yao shook his head: "There's always a way out. If my guess is right, then after avoiding this chilling killing intent, there will definitely be other clues or tests when we get close to the tomb. In short, there must be a way in. It just depends on whether we can find it."

Lin Chen stared at Lu Yao: "If that's the case, why didn't you join back then? Now you seem to be encouraging me to join?"

Lu Yao laughed and said, "Isn't Xiao Shubo the chosen one? Even if such a person isn't very capable, he is often the one most likely to obtain great opportunities. I don't dare to go in alone, but I think it's worth taking a gamble to go in with the chosen one."

With Lu Yao accompanying him, the fact that Xiao Shubo was the chosen one of destiny could not be kept from him. Since there was no promise doll, he was made to swear a great oath to the heavens not to reveal Xiao Shubo's identity as the chosen one of destiny.

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that what he said made sense.

With the support of the Great Luo Venerable and the Exquisite Pagoda, Lin Chen wasn't too afraid to enter. He said, "Let's ask everyone's opinion." Lin Chen transmitted his voice to the other four people, and soon everyone gathered again.

After hearing Lin Chen's explanation, everyone looked at Lu Yao in surprise. Hong Guiling laughed and said, "We really didn't make a mistake in saving you back then. You were able to find such a hidden passage. Even if you passed by it, it would be hard to notice anything unusual."

Song Jun laughed and said, "Indeed, you can't find this without a bit of luck."

luck?

All eyes instinctively fell on Xiao Shubo, who laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me? Perhaps my luck lies in meeting Lu Yao. This is God's guidance to us..."

Lu Xinyan asked, "Should we go in?"

Hong Guiling said without hesitation, "Let's go in. Since this might be a test, and we've found a way to pass it, we definitely have to try. If it really doesn't work, we can always back out."

Song Jun said succinctly: "Go in!"

Xiao Shubo said with a wry smile, "It's just a matter of saying 'go in,' but as everyone knows, great opportunities often mean great dangers. Just because you encounter an opportunity doesn't mean you'll actually get it. There are many dangers in the path of opportunity. Once we enter, we can't predict what the consequences will be..."

Everyone fell silent again.

Yes, great opportunities are accompanied by great dangers. Even if it is a test, those who can pass it will naturally receive great benefits, but what about those who cannot pass it?

Even naturally grown elixirs are often guarded by powerful demonic beasts, let alone the tomb of a realm's ruler!

The tombs of ordinary emperors are full of deadly traps, making it impossible for anyone to return. How could Qin Zheng's tomb be any less?
Even though everyone is on the same team, the test is not conducted in small teams; each person may face a life-or-death situation.

Xiao Shubo is a chosen one. Even if he lacks strength, he might still be able to move forward by luck. But what about the others?
Since it involved life and death, everyone became cautious.

Just as everyone was hesitating, dozens of golden lights suddenly streaked across the sky, approaching in an instant, and then appearing above them not far away.

Lin Chen and the others subconsciously looked up, but Xiao Shubo's expression suddenly changed drastically. He stared intently at a person standing at the front of the line, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

"Jiang Yuelin!"
