The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

"Generation, restraint, and transformation..."

Seeing this, Fang Yun in the team was also filled with admiration.

If he didn't have the eye of God, he would never have thought of using a flock of chickens to deal with a swarm of centipedes.

The four factions of tomb raiding each have their own unique skills.

However... these little centipedes are just appetizers; the real beast is yet to come—the six-winged centipede... that's truly terrifying.

Thinking this, Fang Yun glanced at Partridge Whistle.

The Angry-Eyed Chicken was still being carried on Partridge Whistle's back; he hadn't released it earlier.

Perhaps Partridge Whistle sensed something. These little centipedes are inherently venomous and often devour each other, but when they encounter intruders, they always travel in groups.

The fact that these venomous centipedes can move in such large groups suggests that something even more powerful than the centipede swarm is likely behind them.

"Brothers, spread ash all around, and shovel up the surviving centipedes. Don't worry about the roosters; let them peck at the centipedes themselves."

"Don't be careless, spread it everywhere you can!"

"Little Yangzi, get the motor running! Get the lights on! Pry all the gold and jewels off this pillar!"

As soon as the centipede swarm retreated, Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai immediately ordered their men to get to work.

The glass cups around them were inlaid with gold and jade, which meant money to them.

Fang Yun glanced at it twice, but quickly looked away.

The gold was all mixed gold, and the jade was just ordinary white jade. It wasn't anything special; it was all decoration from the homes of the powerful and wealthy hundreds of years ago, the kind that could be bought in bulk.

Although it could fetch a good price at this time, it was clearly not worthy of being part of his collection.

He wasn't kept waiting long, and soon Chen Yulou said he wanted to go into the hall to take a look.

If even the palace gates are decorated with countless gold and jade ornaments, it goes without saying how much gold, jade, and precious treasures are inside the palace.

As the dignified leader of the Unloading Ridge faction, he would naturally not be attracted by a mere palace gate.

At this moment, a group of Unloading Ridge Warriors also opened the stone gate at the end of the Glazed Path.

Beyond the stone gate was a wide and long corridor, pitch black inside, but a faint flicker of light could be seen at the end of the corridor.

Upon seeing the flames, everyone thought of the glass lamp.

Since we can use glass lamps for lighting, then the front hall must be behind this passageway!

Fang Yun, Partridge Whistle, and Chen Yulou exchanged glances and then walked side by side into the passage, with the team behind them quickly following with torches and headlamps.

(My drafts are all gone, time to start writing! Please give me flowers and ratings! Even a comment is appreciated.)

Chapter Ten: Invulnerable to Swords and Spears, the Six-Winged Centipede!

The light dispelled the darkness, and everyone could see the scene at the other end of the passage.

In the heart of the mountain ahead, a grand hall stands solemnly, with corridors connecting to the mountain crevices on both sides, and is surrounded by white jade railings.

On the platform in front of the main hall, there is a row of white jade tree lamps, and the ground is covered with reliefs of mythical beasts, all of which are made of gold, silver and jade.

If you walk a little closer, you can see a deep abyss, more than ten meters wide, in the center of the platform, separating the main hall from the entrance.

Above the abyss, three stone bridges connect the two sides of the platform.

Under the lamplight, the grand hall appeared even more magnificent and dignified.

"As expected of the royal alchemy institute!"

"Damn it, this time I, Lao Luo, am really going to make a fortune!"

Upon seeing this, both Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai exclaimed in amazement.

Every part of this grand hall, from top to bottom, is valuable.

And this is only the front hall!

One can imagine how large the underground palace inside Ping Mountain is.

The place where emperors of past dynasties practiced alchemy... plus the tomb that a Yuan dynasty general himself added... wow!

Gasps and exclamations rose from the crowd. Even those tomb raiders who had plundered countless tombs had never seen such a scene.

Only Fang Yun looked solemn.

His gaze kept shifting between the abyss not far ahead and the main hall.

Before obtaining the bloodline of the Qilin, his five senses were already beyond those of ordinary people. After obtaining the bloodline of the Qilin, his perception naturally became even more acute.

The surrounding area was filled with such a dense, eerie atmosphere and a foul stench...

The second target is probably lurking in some dark corner, watching them intently.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun glanced at the angry-looking rooster in the bamboo basket behind Partridge Whistle.

*Coo...coo...*

The Angry Rooster, which had been kept hidden by Partridge Whistle, had already accumulated its fury to the limit.

At this moment, the Angry Rooster seemed to sense that its mortal enemy was right there, and it angrily rammed into the bamboo basket, crowing incessantly.

Partridge Whistle also realized something was wrong, and led his junior brothers and sisters to move closer to the center of the group, constantly looking around.

"Hey, boss! Let's go!"

Having seen the appearance of the main hall, Luo Laowai could no longer suppress his greed and hurriedly asked Chen Yulou.

Chen Yulou did not reply. He looked at the abyss not far ahead and then at the silent hall, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

However, Chen Yulou quickly recovered.

Ultimately, we still have to go down into the grave.

The most difficult centipede swarm has been dealt with. Even if the legendary Corpse King appears, how could he possibly handle this group of nearly a hundred people?

Immediately, Chen Yulou called two experienced men to scout ahead.

"You two go check out the platform, be careful and tread lightly!"

"Yes!"

The two Unloading Ridge Warriors clasped their hands in acceptance of the order, and then slowly walked onto the stone bridge above the abyss.

After successfully crossing the stone bridge, the two carefully surveyed the platform. Finding no traps or obstacles, they waved to Chen Yulou.

Seeing this, Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Gentlemen, the Dragon Tower and Treasure Palace are right before us. Follow me to retrieve the treasure!"

"Hahahaha! Brothers, charge! Once the treasure is out of here, I, Luo Laowai, guarantee you'll all get a share!"

Upon hearing what Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai said, the morale of the group of Xieling warriors and warlord soldiers soared instantly, and they eagerly crossed the stone bridge.

Following the group, as they walked across the stone bridge, Fang Yun glanced down into the abyss.

It is daytime now, and the sun shines brightly outside the mountains.

That six-winged centipede could never have gone out for a stroll; it must have been hiding in Bottle Mountain, sleeping.

Since it's not in this cold, damp abyss... then it must be in the main hall ahead.

Coo coo coo...

After the group crossed the stone bridge and arrived at the platform in front of the palace, the crowing of the Angry Rooster became more urgent and deep, just like a cat with its fur standing on end.

Apart from Fang Yun and his two fellow disciples, Partridge Whistle, the others didn't care about the matter at all.

Their gazes were all drawn to the grand hall before them.

Where the Unloading Ridge passes, not a blade of grass grows.

As soon as they stepped onto the platform, they scattered and set their sights on everything of value.

Two bolder individuals walked directly to the front of the main hall, intending to push open the door and peek inside.

"Get out of the way!"

Just then, Fang Yun gave a cold shout to the two scouts, drew his M500 pistol from his waist, and pointed it straight at the palace gate.

As Fang Yun finished speaking, a clattering sound came from the main hall.

Illuminated by the surrounding firelight, one could vaguely see the scene inside the main hall through the wooden screen door. A thick, dark shadow swept past the wooden screen door and flashed toward the hall door.

The two scouts, who had experienced many trials and tribulations, reacted quickly and hid behind a glass lamp when Fang Yun reminded them.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

Five loud explosions rang out as Fang Yun fired an entire magazine of bullets directly at the palace gate.

Almost simultaneously with the gunshot, everyone saw the sandalwood palace door being smashed open from the inside, and a huge black shadow darted out from within.

Clang... clang...

When Fang Yun fired that burst of bullets at the dark figure, it produced a sound like steel clashing, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Grass!"

Upon seeing this, Fang Yun's heart sank.

The thing he feared most has happened.
