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

With a flick of his elbow, the power within his body surged, and his other hand moved rapidly upwards, gripping the neck of the jade-carved human face in front of him!

He extended two fingers of his left hand, pinched the sunglasses, and used the pointed end to trace a circle around the seam of the blood-stained jade carving of a human face!

During this time, Wang Yueban, who was standing behind Wu Tianjiao, almost popped his eyes out. He looked at the scene in front of him and almost exclaimed in disbelief!

"Damn it, this mask is really weird! It can even smoke!"

The scenes before his eyes were so impactful that even Wu Xie opened his mouth but couldn't utter a single word for a long time!

Wu Tianjiao's movements were very steady, and he could feel the "creature" he was choking wriggling in the throat, struggling with increasing force!

However, Wu Tianjiao believed that even a "cloaked figure" could not match the "Chang Shiwan" general in the main tomb coffin!

Wu Tianjiao felt that it was about time, and the inexplicable whisper in his mind gradually disappeared. His method was not a sudden inspiration, but rather the method told to him by the inexplicable voice in his mind!

After tossing the Tomb Raider Talisman back to Wang Yueban, Wu Tianjiao swiftly reached out with his other hand, grabbed the gap in the blood-stained jade carving of the human face, and pulled it outward with force!

Inside the main burial chamber, the flickering green candlelight clearly illuminated the facial features of the figure before them...

"It turned out to be you!"

Wu Xie was incredulous, his voice trembling slightly!

"Damn it! It was you, you old codger! I've long suspected there's an 'insider' in the team. All the dangers we've encountered along the way, including the 'demon flower and datura' that shouldn't exist in the main tomb, were all secretly orchestrated by you!"

"Professor Lowell! What exactly are you plotting?!"

Beside the tomb robber's hole in the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire, Wu Tianjiao's five fingers gradually tightened, gripping the neck of the cloaked man in front of him tightly!

No! Now we should call the other party "Lowell"!

Looking at the "person" in front of him, Wu Tianjiao felt a strange ripple in his heart. His mind subconsciously recalled the first time he met the other person!

This blond foreigner was sitting opposite Master Yuanxin. I had secretly taken a picture of him with my camera, but I found that the person in the photo had no facial features!

Calling them "faceless people" is really going too far. To be precise, they should have a face shape but no facial features!

Wu Tianjiao was initially terrified because he was new to this "strange" world of tomb raiding and was not very clear about the power system here!

Could there really be some legendary "demonic spirits"? To avoid trouble, Wu Tianjiao didn't expose the other party immediately! Along the way, Wu Tianjiao also noticed Luo Wei's abnormality from many small details!

It wasn't until he disappeared from the Corpse Fiend Eight Formations that Wu Tianjiao felt he had enough power to protect himself, and only then did he reveal Luo Wei's identity!

Then! Before the bronze coffin, Wu Tianjiao witnessed an unscientific scene unfold! All the previous "monsters," such as the human-faced snake and the roe deer, were no longer there!

But Wu Tianjiao never expected to watch "Lowell" disappear while kneeling on the ground. Now that he has caught the culprit with his bare hands, he must get to the bottom of this!

Moreover, he couldn't let his guard down during this process. The man in front of him, Lowell, was clearly no pushover. Someone who could produce the "Demon Flower" Mandala must have made "special preparations" for this trip!

Lowell... what exactly do you want to do...?

"Hey! Hey! My dear brother Wu Tianjiao, take it easy! Can't you see this 'old bastard' is already struggling to breathe from your grip? I know this blond foreigner is hated, but we in the Great Xia Federation also value treating people with courtesy, don't we?"

"Tsk tsk... How about we try diplomacy first, then force? If this Lowell is really stubborn, I, Fatty, am not someone to be trifled with. Having visited so many tombs, I know the 'punishments' of the Great Xia Kingdom's history very well!"

"For example... skinning... slow slicing... hehehe..."

Chapter 270: [Curse of Death]!?

As Wang Yueban spoke, his hands moved swiftly. He reached into his backpack, which had fallen to the ground, and pulled out a "fruit knife," spitting it several times. His small eyes glared fiercely at the blond-haired Lowell in front of him.

"Well... I know you well, you're the burly young man Jiang Jiaxu, the foreign 'mentor' hired by the academy. Judging from your previous actions, it's not hard to tell that you're a 'smart person' who is well-versed in the history of the Great Xia Federation!"

At this point, Wang Yueban directly pressed the "fruit knife" against Luo Wei's skin, his face contorted with rage.

"I advise you to cooperate with the questions that follow. If I find out you're lying, there are no cameras here, and we'll scrape your flesh off piece by piece!"

By the end, Wang Yueban's face was almost touching Lowell's pupils.

To be honest, Fatty Wang was really angry. He, a dignified tomb raider, had been completely outmaneuvered by this "old geezer" in the main tomb chamber of the Qin Empire. It was really embarrassing!

This dealt a heavy blow to his pride. After all, he had been in the tomb raiding business for many years and his pride was still intact. However, without exception, this trip to the Imperial Tomb almost cost him his life. If he got out and his colleagues with ulterior motives found out, they would definitely laugh at him in secret!

However, Luo Weier's expression remained completely unchanged despite Wu Tianjiao holding his throat; instead, his pupils revealed intense contempt!

"Hey! You old bastard, you're still not convinced? I'm not going to waste my time with you, my patience is limited!"

Fatty Wang got a little impatient at this point. It seemed that this guy wouldn't learn his lesson until he saw the coffin, and wouldn't turn back until he hit a brick wall!

We have to force him to understand his attitude and stance!

Does a fish on a cutting board really think it can turn its life around?

As she spoke, Wang Yueban's elbow trembled as she prepared to use the blade of the fruit knife to give the stubborn Luo Weier a taste of his power!

Wu Xie, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and hurriedly reached out to stop Wang Yueban's actions:

"Alright, Fatty Wang, things haven't gotten to that point yet. Perhaps Instructor 'Lowell' has some difficulties, or there might be more to the story! After all, he's the leader of this special tomb inspection team. If something really happens, we won't be able to explain ourselves. We might as well hear what he has to say in his defense!"

.

"Wu Xie! Let me tell you, you're just too 'merciful'!"

Wang Yueban turned around with some dissatisfaction...

Just then, Wu Tianjiao felt a slight tremor in the throat of the foreigner, Lowell, which he was gripping tightly. It was obvious that the other party wanted to say something, but due to the domineering power generated by the Chi You bloodline in his body, Lowell was unable to utter a single word. Seeing this, Wu Tianjiao slightly loosened his grip.

"Cough cough!"

Luo Weier coughed for a while, and his cheeks, which had turned red from "lack of oxygen," gradually returned to normal. He looked at Wu Xie and Wang Yueban, letting out a series of strange, incoherent laughs.

"Hehe...hehehe...I never expected this...I really never expected it. I, Luo Weier, had planned everything, but I never imagined that my own student would be able to invite a true 'tomb raider' successor! I, Luo Weier, have truly learned the meaning of the title of 'Tomb Raider Captain' this time!"

"But... what does this matter? This enormous tomb of the Qin Empire is the 'treasure' I've been pursuing all my life!"

"Ugh...cough cough..."

Just then, Wu Tianjiao exerted force with his palm, mercilessly locking Luo Weier's throat:

"Old man! Our time is limited! Don't try to stall for time by rambling on. From now on, if you utter any information unrelated to the main tomb chamber, I'll snap your neck!"

Wu Tianjiao's eyes were gloomy. He finished speaking slowly and deliberately. This Luo Weier was obviously trying to "buy time." If he really had something to do with "Chang Shiwan" in the main tomb chamber, he might be waiting for this "big zombie" to regain his ability to move!

However, Lowell showed no fear whatsoever; his face turned bright red, and his mouth opened and closed repeatedly!

Wu Tianjiao's gaze froze slightly! The other party's lip movements were...!

[Curse of Death]!?

Wang Yueban, who was near the entrance of the tunnel, frowned. He hadn't clearly seen the change in "Lowell's" mouth shape!

"Old man! Don't try anything funny! I'm completely different from Wang Yueban and his gang. There are cameras here every day, and there's no signal. Don't even think about trying anything! If I'm not happy, I'll just throw you into the very center of the Corpse Fiend Eight Trigrams Formation. I doubt anyone would care if something happened to you and trace it back to us!"

....... ..... ...

Wu Tianjiao loosened his grip slightly again. He sensed something was wrong. This Luo Weier was clearly acting with impunity! Could it be that he hadn't seen him tear the "giant rice dumpling" apart?

With just a flick of his finger, he could, without exaggeration, take the life of Lowell right now!

.....

At this moment, Luo Wei's eyes suddenly widened. He stared in horror at the bloodstained jade face statue in Wu Tianjiao's other hand, and his mouth trembled as he spoke:

"Actually, you don't know the truth! My connection to this tomb! This tomb of the Qin Empire is actually my ancestor's!"

......

"Ancestors!? You old bastard, think this through. You have a foreign face, yet you're pretending to be a descendant of the Great Xia Federation from 1,500 years ago. I'm not saying this to be rude, but even if you're mixed-race, you should at least look convincing! Trying to gain sympathy with this? I've misjudged you... Your position as an 'instructor' at the academy must be a sham!"

As Wang Yueban spoke, he pursed his lips. It wasn't that he didn't believe Luo Weier's words, but the reality would seem absurd to anyone!

This is like a toad finding a frog and claiming its father is a swan! The gene sequence is ridiculously wrong!

Chapter 271: The Fetus is Formed from Yin and Yang Essence and Blood

But Wang Yueban's sarcasm did not affect Luo Weier. He spoke slowly and haltingly, recounting some inexplicable things:

"It is certain that the owner of this tomb is 'Chang Shiwan,' but the rulers of the Wang Qin Empire executed my 'great-grandfather' on trumped-up charges!"

Wang Yueban reached out and slapped his cheek; he couldn't listen to any longer.

"This is just grabbing whoever you can and making them your father... 'Great-great-grandfather'... and fabricated charges... Forget it... Fatty, if I believed your 'trickery,' I might as well say I'm possessed!!"

However, Wu Tianjiao, who had remained silent until now, suddenly waved his hand in a gesture of greeting:

“Wang Yueban, stop talking. What Luo Weier said is all true! General Chang Shiwan was Luo Weier’s ancestor…”

Wu Tianjiao's eyes were a little strange. He originally thought that Luo Weier had been boasting or deceiving, but the system's notification sound suddenly rang in his mind!

[Ding! Special mission detected!]

[The Cause of Chang Shiwan's Death: Unveiling the Truth - Part 1]

[Task complete; Reward: 500 Gold Coins!]

Upon seeing the system's prompt in his mind, Wu Tianjiao immediately understood that Chang Shiwan's death might not have been as superficial as recorded in the "Epitaph for the Deceased"!

Lowell's statement, "a fabricated charge!" contains a lot of meaning.

Hearing Wu Tianjiao's certain tone, Wu Xie and Wang Yueban both opened their mouths in disbelief. Since Wu Tianjiao had spoken, they decided to question him later...

Lowell's voice was somewhat hollow, and his mouth opened and closed as if mechanically:

"During the Qin Dynasty, the laws were strict, and fabricated charges could lead to the execution of nine generations of one's family! Some people couldn't bear to see the valiant general 'Chang Shiwan' truly die without an heir, so they secretly concealed the number of people to be executed... Our lineage was thus able to survive, but we were also exiled and sent to distant lands..."

Lowell's voice grew softer and softer until it was barely audible. His facial skin began to twitch irregularly, his mouth gaped wide, and he let out a strange "giggle" laugh.

"Hehehe! Do you guys know what a 'curse' is?"
