The Unorthodox Tomb Raider
Page 74
The walls around the room were covered with large murals, most of which were related to kings and immortals. The immortals and gods in the murals were also inlaid with gemstones, making them very luxurious and exquisite.
The group of four is now at the junction of the funnel body and the mouth. If they climb a few more steps up the slope, they will see the end of the slope.
The slope ended at a white wall covered with colorful paintings of auspicious clouds and phoenixes. In the center of the wall, there was a human figure, whose features could be vaguely discerned.
Upon seeing the human-shaped relief on the Tai Sui shell, Fang Yun untied the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow sword, held the blade in his hand, and sneered at the human-shaped relief.
"Turning his own wife into a tomb-guarding goddess, E'lei..."
(Today was another day of IV drips, but I feel much better. If there are any missed updates, I'll definitely make up for it tomorrow.)
Chapter Ninety-Five: The Gradually Recovering Tai Sui!
The human-shaped silhouette wasn't a fairy relief at all, but a person.
King Xian blocked the tomb entrance with his own wife and even raised countless corpse moths inside her body.
"Don't go over there, there's something wrong with the human sculptures on the wall!"
Stopping Partridge Whistle from going forward to investigate, Fang Yun directly used the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to make a small cut on his hand, squeezed out a wisp of Qilin blood, and flicked it fiercely towards the wall.
*Screech...*
The Qilin's blood splattered on the female corpse, causing her to tremble from within the wall. Wisps of white smoke, corroded by the Yin energy, appeared on her body, and a mournful ghostly howl escaped from her mouth.
Followed by.
The female corpse began to swell, and countless jet-black corpse moths poured out from it. The surface of the female corpse was torn, and it seemed to deflate, instantly shriveling up.
"It's a corpse moth!"
The moment Partridge Whistle saw the swarm of corpse moths, his expression changed, and he raised his two pistols to block "423" and the old foreigner.
These corpse moths are a type of poisonous insect, mostly bred by humans. Their bodies are full of corpse powder, and if a person comes into contact with even a little of it, it will cause corpse spots and then lead to poisoning and death, which is extremely dangerous.
And right now, there are probably tens of thousands of these corpse moths!
The corpse moths were incredibly fast, and in a matter of moments they broke free from the female corpse. However, they acted as if they hadn't seen Fang Yun and his companions at all. After flapping their wings twice, they burrowed directly into the funnel mouth and fled frantically back the way they had come.
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang Yun's blood worked. Sure enough, no poisonous insects or ferocious beasts could escape that precious blood. Otherwise, we would be in trouble today and might have to return by water.
Swarms of poisonous insects can sometimes be more difficult to deal with than spirits and demons.
"This King Xian is quite cunning. He didn't set up any traps along the way, but he did at the entrance of the main tomb chamber to confuse people. We almost fell for his trick."
After all the corpse moths had fled, the old foreigner wiped the cold sweat from his brow and muttered a curse under his breath.
“King Xian is no good; he uses people to raise insects!” Hua nodded in agreement, her face full of disgust.
"Otherwise, how could the tomb of King Xian be called a tomb that can never be robbed?"
Fang Yun smiled and shook his head, then took two steps forward.
The female corpse had already fallen off the wall, leaving only a human skin.
Where the female corpse was originally embedded, a human-shaped hole appeared. Looking into the hole, he saw a tomb chamber of moderate size, with a coffin inside.
"The main burial chamber should be just ahead. Something's not right. Be careful once you go in."
"If I tell you to run, then run, understand?"
Fang Yun took a deep breath and turned to remind the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his fellow disciples.
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Lao Yangren and Hua hurriedly nodded.
Partridge Whistle hesitated for a moment, then nodded. This was the first time Fang Yun had spoken to him in this tone.
Perhaps Fang Yun discovered something, and it was something even Fang Yun couldn't handle, otherwise Fang Yun wouldn't have said the word "run away." He had never seen Fang Yun so serious before.
Seeing that the three of them nodded in agreement, Fang Yun turned around and crawled through the human-shaped hole.
After entering the main burial chamber, Fang Yun curiously looked around the room.
Sure enough, this main burial chamber didn't look like a main burial chamber at all; instead, it resembled a natural cave, entirely white in color.
All around were milky-white stone walls, but these were not real stone walls; they were the withered fleshy walls of a giant old succulent.
Heaven knows how long this old woman lived; her body was so large it could be used as the main burial chamber.
The Old Tai Sui also has two other names: Rou Zhi and Shen Xian Zhi. Legend has it that the flesh of the Old Tai Sui is a divine medicine. As long as one can eat the flesh of the thousand-year-old Old Tai Sui, one can ascend to immortality and live forever.
This old Tai Sui should have originally grown in Zhelong Mountain. It was later found by the Prince of Xian, but by then the old Tai Sui had already withered and died.
As for someone like King Xian, who was obsessed with becoming an immortal, he would naturally not let go of such an old man who might have lived for ten thousand years.
After learning that the old Tai Sui was dead, King Xian was very unwilling. He thought that he didn't need to undergo the corpse liberation to become an immortal. He could just eat the flesh of the ten-thousand-year-old Tai Sui and become an immortal.
So King Xian came up with the idea of bringing this old Tai Sui back to life. He used countless living people to perform a blood sacrifice for the old Tai Sui, hoping that the old Tai Sui could be revived and reborn after consuming flesh and blood, so that he could eat Tai Sui flesh.
After all, Tai Sui is known as an inexhaustible source of food. Even if only a piece of flesh remains, it can be revived and reborn. Emperors throughout history have sought out this kind of ancient immortal mushroom.
But a person's life is only a few decades long, how can one afford to wait? This old woman is huge, she has lived for thousands of years, even if she just takes a nap, perhaps a hundred years will have passed.
Trying to keep a dead old *Gnaphalium affine* alive is no less difficult than raising a fist-sized molted turtle to the size of a well's opening.
Therefore, King Xian died without ever witnessing the resurrection of the Tai Sui or eating a single piece of its flesh.
Unwilling to accept defeat, he decided to use this giant Tai Sui as his main tomb chamber. Even if he couldn't eat the Tai Sui's flesh, he would use the earth's energy from the Tai Sui's body to nourish his immortal body.
Taking a breath, you can even smell a faint medicinal fragrance, but the fragrance is mixed with a hint of the stench of corpses.
Upon closer inspection, Fang Yun discovered that the surrounding corpse energy was slowly rising, and his expression hardened.
This ancient creature has been resurrected for two thousand years since the death of King Xian, but it has been dormant. Now it has smelled the life force on humans... and is preparing to wake up and devour flesh and blood!
"How could there not be!"
Just then, Partridge Whistle's exclamation rang out from the side.
Fang Yun turned his head and saw that Partridge Whistle had brought Old Yangren and Hua Ju to the coffin he had seen earlier, and the coffin lid had already been opened.
Upon closer inspection, there was no corpse in the coffin, only a jade burial suit with peacock feathers.
This jade cloak with peacock feathers looks very exquisite. It is made of gold leaves and gold threads, and is inlaid with countless gold beads and jade stones.
Looking at the coffin again, it is made of a mixture of bronze and wood, with four miniature celestial palaces carved on it, and a magnificent divine bird standing on the top of each palace.
"This is the coffin of Queen Xian!"
"The woman we saw on the wall earlier must have been Queen Xian. King Xian turned his wife's body into a cauldron, and then used it to conjure her body into a cauldron!"
1.3 “Brother Fang, this is the only coffin here!” Upon hearing Fang Yun’s words, Partridge Whistle’s eyes reddened, his fists clenched, his body trembled, and he uttered a single sentence.
"No, it must be here!"
"If the coffin of King Xian is not here, then wouldn't all three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man have been built in vain?"
"Look around, these white tomb walls are made of soft flesh, the coffin of the King of Xian should be hidden somewhere inside the white walls!"
Fang Yun didn't explain further, but turned around and walked deeper into the tomb.
The Old Tai Sui is about to revive, now is not the time to explain. Once the Corpse Cave is formed... we must run, or we will die. We must get the Muchen Pearl before the Corpse Cave is formed!
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Partridge Whistle forcibly suppressed the restlessness and resentment in his heart and led his junior brothers and sisters to search in the tomb.
(I just finished writing one chapter and fell asleep... I'll definitely finish it tomorrow. I think I can write seven or eight chapters.)
Chapter Ninety-Six: Divine Pearl Acquired, Hidden Rewards, System Upgrade!
"Human-shaped coffin...Human-shaped coffin..."
Fang Yun kept repeating himself to himself, his eyes scanning the tomb chamber.
Sewage had begun to seep from the surrounding walls, and one could vaguely see the walls expanding and writhing.
This old woman is recovering too quickly. She recovered as soon as she smelled the breath of life. I'm afraid she'll be fully awake in just two or three minutes.
"Have it!"
Just then, Fang Yun's eyes lit up.
Not far in front of him, there was a slightly raised fleshy slope, and on that slope was a human-shaped relief. As the flesh of the Tai Sui expanded, the human-shaped relief was also gradually arched upwards.
Seeing this, Fang Yun turned around and shouted, "Come and help! The coffin of the Prince of Xian is here!"
Upon hearing Fang Yun's words, Partridge Whistle, Old Foreigner, and the other three men trembled and quickly ran to Fang Yun's side.
At this moment, they also saw the human-shaped relief sculpture slowly rising in front of them.
"Don't just stand there, that number 19 is the coffin."
Seeing the three people's puzzled expressions, Fang Yun gave a shout and then used the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow as a fruit knife to pluck out the flesh of the Tai Sui.
As soon as Fang Yun finished speaking, the three of them started digging into the flesh of the Tai Sui with their whirlwind shovels.
As the four people began digging out the flesh of the Tai Sui, the strange phenomena inside the tomb became increasingly obvious.
The walls, which were originally somewhat whitish, have now begun to turn yellow rapidly, constantly expanding and contracting, looking like organs throbbing, with each movement causing a large amount of yellow sewage to overflow.
In just a short while, the entire tomb chamber seemed to melt, water began to drip from the ceiling, and a yellow puddle formed at the foot of the tomb.
"Brother Fang, the tomb is melting!"
Seeing this, Partridge Whistle's expression turned serious, and he said something to Fang Yun.
Fang Yun nodded without looking up, and explained while digging at the coffin: "This cave is not a natural white rock cave, but a Tai Sui cave. We are now inside the belly of a giant old Tai Sui."
