Tomb Raiding: The Bloodline of Dragons and Snakes, Starting from the Kunlun Divine Palace

A sharp whistling sound rang out!

Suddenly, a bronze crossbow bolt shot out from the wall on the other side of the main tomb chamber, aimed directly at Wang Yueban's head.

"Hey! That scared me to death!"

Wang Yueban reached out and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. If Wu Xie hadn't reacted quickly, he might have already been pierced through the back of the head by a bronze crossbow bolt! The situation was far too dangerous!

"How strange! I'm holding the 'Qiankun Compass' that Wu Tianjiao gave me, so why did it trigger the traps and mechanisms in the main tomb of the Qin Empire? According to Wu Tianjiao, this thing should be able to perfectly 'counter' the Corpse Fiend Eight Formation!"

Wang Yueban muttered to herself, subconsciously tightening her grip on the square tray in her hand. Using the surrounding eerie green flames as illumination, she saw the compass spoon, positioned motionless at the top of the Bagua diagram, its golden handle gleaming, pointing unblinkingly to a fixed point.

"Um... could it be that... I accidentally broke this thing?"

Wang Yueban inwardly cried out in alarm. He vaguely recalled the blood-stained jade carving of a human face he had seen before—it was far too eerie! He wouldn't hastily throw the item on the ground!

Maybe it was because you were in too much of a hurry that you broke the things!

Wang Yueban's expression was rather gloomy. He secretly glanced at Wu Tianjiao, who was in the very center of the stone platform in the main tomb chamber. Seeing that the other party had not noticed the situation, he quietly put the Qiankun Sinan Spoon back into his pocket!

He then turned around, looked at the jade carving of a human face in front of him, and let out a cold laugh!

"Hmph! I knew it was you who was behind this 'bronze' arrows!"

Wang Yueban's gaze was fixed on the right arm of the cloaked figure in front of him, where there was a rectangular bluestone brick, which was being subtly covered by the cloaked figure's palm. It was obvious that the other party had intentionally triggered the mechanism of the Corpse Fiend Eight Trigrams Formation!

Without hesitation, Wang Yueban strode forward and kicked the cloaked figure lying on the ground!

Several heavy blows landed on the opponent!

"Bang! Bang!"

Chapter 268: Chi You eats iron and stone, has a human body and ox hooves, four eyes and six hands.

After two consecutive kicks, Wang Yueban's expression turned somewhat unpleasant. The sensation under his feet was different from what he had imagined; he had initially thought it was a soft object beneath him!

But to my surprise, it was as hard as a rock!

Wu Xie noticed something was wrong and was about to rush forward when Wang Yueban stopped him with her hand!

"Little naiveté! Fatty's affairs are none of your business! Now I have the Tomb Raider Talisman protecting me, let me see what kind of 'monster' this jade-carved human face really is. The 'yin lines' and 'yang lines' in the [Gouche] method don't really matter! These are all 'rumors' from the historical period of the Wang Qin Empire!"

"Since it's a rumor, it can't be classified as an 'evil spirit' without seeing any concrete cases!"

Wang Yueban spoke, but his actions were anything but hesitant! He stretched out his palm and directly gripped the edge of the jade carving of a human face!

The blood-stained jade face is not a complete head; upon closer inspection, it closely resembles a mask!

However, from a certain angle, the jade sculpture happens to resemble a human head!

To be honest, Wang Yueban had noticed this anomaly a long time ago, but he had never dared to confirm his suspicions! Now, with the blessing of the sunglasses captain's ancestral treasure, the Tomb Raider Talisman, Wang Yueban had come to terms with it!

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get the tiger's cubs!"

Five finger bones suddenly shot forward! But the next instant, his vision blurred, and a nameless terror arose from the depths of his heart! The jade face stained with blood before him seemed to be flickering and uncertain!

Wu Xie's expression changed drastically. The situation before him was truly beyond his expectations. Wang Yueban's body was frozen in place, his eyes staring straight at the jade sculpture face in front of him!

Seeing this, Wu Xie knew that things were getting out of his control, but he dared not make any rash moves! Without the guidance of the Qiankun Sinan Shao, rushing in to save Wang Yueban would likely put him in danger!

Just as the blood-stained jade face was about to slowly approach Wang Yueban once again, just like in the beginning.

Another loud bang echoed through the air!

Wu Tianjiao, who was near the bronze coffin in the main tomb chamber not far away, had confirmed that "Chang Shi Wan" was controlled by a sufficient amount of soft corpse incense. Seeing that Wu Xie and Wang Yueban were in danger again at the entrance of the tomb, he no longer hesitated!

He loosened his grip on Chang Shiwan and took a step forward!

The airflow extending from the shoulder blades is continuous and flows directly into the vicinity of the legs!

He could vaguely feel a faint cracking sound coming from near his ankle joints, which was the force breaking through the barrier!

He stepped back a short distance, his foot stomping on the car's silhouette like a cannonball! He then stomped on the edge of the square stone platform again, unleashing the power of Chi You's bloodline and generating an astonishing recoil force!

Wu Tianjiao leaped into the air, his eyes locking onto Wang Yueban's figure below the tunnel!

In the time it takes to breathe, Wu Tianjiao, taking advantage of the downward momentum, raised his hands high and clenched them into fists!

It crashed down directly!

"where is it?"

"Bang!" Another muffled thud!

Wu Tianjiao slammed his fists into the cloak of the blood-stained jade face, unleashing a powerful force!

The bloodline of Chi You once again unleashed unimaginable power!

But the moment Wu Tianjiao's fists made contact with the other's body, Wu Tianjiao could clearly sense that something was wrong!

The pair of jade faces stained with blood suddenly turned and stared straight at him. The blood on the jade faces slowly flowed down, as if they were alive!

At the same time, Wu Tianjiao could clearly feel his consciousness beginning to waver, and his body was about to lose consciousness!

However, Wu Tianjiao, who was blessed with the bloodline of Chi You, knew that he could now be considered half of an "Ancient Demon God," so how could he be suppressed by these "techniques"!

At the same time, my shoulder blades and spine felt burning hot, as if they were on fire, and the blood in my body felt like it was boiling!

In the darkness, it seemed as if an ancient god or demon appeared behind Wu Tianjiao!

This is a tall, headless giant!

[Human body, ox hooves, four eyes, six hands]

A buzzing sound exploded in Wu Tianjiao's mind!

All the illusions before his eyes vanished by the time Wu Tianjiao came to his senses!

His fists were almost piercing through the cloaked figure in front of him!

At the entrance to the main tomb chamber, Wu Tianjiao felt as if his fist was a javelin, capable of piercing through anything! The muscles on his arm bulged and knotted, and the blood-stained jade carving of a human face was pierced through the chest and abdomen by Wu Tianjiao!

The immense force dented the cloaked figure's body, making it look like a hunched shrimp!

Because of the immense force, the blood-stained jade face drooped downwards due to inertia, almost touching Wu Tianjiao's cheek!

Just then! A buzzing sound rang in Wu Tianjiao's mind again!

A mournful, resounding bell echoed in my mind!

Chi You emerged from the amniotic fluid, with eight arms, eight toes, and a sparse head. He ascended the Nine Marshes to attack Kongsang, and the Yellow Emperor killed him at Qingqiu.

[Beheading!]

Wu Tianjiao was somewhat taken aback by the voice in his mind, but before he could process it, a system notification sounded in his mind!

[Ding! Emergency mission detected!]

【The Cursed Mask 0/1】

Chi You was described as "eating iron and stone," having "a human body with ox hooves, four eyes and six hands, ears and temples like swords and halberds, and horns on his head."

Wu Tianjiao stared blankly at the system notification that suddenly rang in his mind, feeling utterly bewildered.

Chapter 269: Jade Carved Human Face, the Cursed Mask?

The jade carving of a human face stained with blood in front of me was actually a cursed mask?

But that doesn't make sense. What does this have to do with the Chi You bloodline in my body?

That said, on Earth, Chi You's identity is shrouded in mystery. At the time, it was generally believed that Chi You was the leader of the ancient Jiuli tribe, living in the same period as the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor!

At least, Chi You, though a "demon god," was still a human being!

How could this system describe it as eating iron and stone, with "a human body, ox hooves, four eyes and six hands, ears and temples like swords and halberds, and horns on its head"?

This... is completely nonsensical and absurd! If Chi You looked like this, not to mention anything else, his simple "four eyes and six hands" would be enough for "Ultraman Company" to use him as the mastermind behind the scenes, and he would definitely scare the kids into submission!

Wu Tianjiao still remembers on Earth that Chi You was originally a vassal lord under Emperor Yan, but was disliked by Emperor Yan for his tyrannical nature. Therefore, Chi You left Emperor Yan's tribal alliance and went elsewhere to develop his own power.

Of course, this is how "ruthless" it is in the written records on Earth. No matter how powerful or glorious Chi You was, as long as he didn't have the last laugh, he would be nailed to the pillar of shame and subjected to endless slander and accusations. After all, according to convention, history is written by the victors. "The winner is king and the loser is a bandit." This has been the case from ancient times to the present!

But no matter how much they slandered him, Chi You's power was still widely known. In the end, Chi You, a historical figure, was referred to as the "Three Ancestors of the Blue Star" along with Huangdi, Yandi, and Chi You.

Just like the famous general "Lu Bu" in the history of Earth, although his reputation was not good, his strength was unmatched!

Just as Wu Tianjiao was somewhat lost in thought, Wang Yueban's voice came from beside him:

"Ouch...it hurts so much, Fatty! Wu Tianjiao, next time you're rescuing someone, watch your step! This fat old man can't take your abuse. After a few rounds, I'm completely exhausted, and I feel like my bones are about to fall apart!"

As Wang Yueban spoke, he rubbed his shoulders, feeling incredibly sore all over. His voice trailed off as he looked at Wu Xie beside him:

"Hey! My little naiveté, something's not right. Why did I feel like I was bewitched? Didn't I have a tomb raiding talisman with me? Why didn't it work?"

"That can't be right. I've checked this thing, it's definitely real. If it fails, I've decided to retire from tomb raiding altogether and never touch it again!"

Wang Yueban reached into his robes as he spoke, but the next moment his expression turned grim. Feeling the dampness in his palm, Wang Yueban's mouth twitched; he was somewhat incredulous.

"Hey! This is really weird. I was absolutely certain that this tomb raiding talisman was clean, so why is it stained with so much blood now?"

Hearing Wang Yueban's voice, Wu Xie hesitated for a moment before looking at the talisman in the other's palm. He saw that it had been smeared with a large amount of... (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the initial statement.)

"Hehe! Well! Brother Wu Tianjiao, I won't say thank you too much, that would just make me seem pretentious. Let's just leave it at that, from now on, your problems are my problems. This life-saving favor..."

However, before Wang Yueban could continue speaking, Wu Tianjiao suddenly interrupted him, his eyes fixed on the jade sculpture of a human face in front of him:

"Wang Yueban! Lend me your tomb raiding talisman!"

Upon hearing Wu Tianjiao's voice, Fatty Wang acted decisively. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and wiped the talisman he held with his clothes to remove the grime.
