The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

At this point, Fang Yun pointed to the vines on the wall behind him.

"This is Zulong Peak, where the vital energy of the world gathers, so it's not surprising that vines grow here."

"Those plants growing from the Xuanwu giant corpse, though many different, all have one thing in common: they can bear the Fruit of Life. Because they grow from a corpse, the fruit is called the Fruit of Life, and the piece of flesh inside is called Blood Bait. 477"

"As for what happens after eating the Fruit of Life... I don't know, because everyone who tasted the Fruit of Life... died, without even having time to leave their last words on their way back."

After listening to Fang Yun's explanation, the old foreigner swallowed hard, his eyes becoming much more wary as he looked at the vines, as if afraid that something else might crawl out from inside.

"Plants growing on a dead person? That's unbelievable..."

"This Kunlun Mountain is too eerie."

Fang Yun pursed her lips and replied irritably, "What do you know?"

"The Kunlun Ancestral Dragon Vein is the most sacred place, guarding the great fortune of the Central Plains. Its vitality is so abundant that it is unimaginable. Because of this, we will definitely not encounter any zombies or monsters along the way, which is much easier than going into the tomb."

"Brother Fang, did you say earlier that these vines grew from a corpse?"

Just then, Partridge Whistle suddenly uttered a sentence.

Upon hearing this, Fang Yun was taken aback, nodded, and then gave Partridge Whistle a meaningful look.

My brother-in-law is so smart!

After receiving Fang Yun's affirmative reply, Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up, and he stood up from the ground.

"If that's the case, then there must be a corpse hidden behind this wall."

"This altar might have been set up to worship that corpse!"

Chapter 122 The Tortoise Shell, a Priceless Treasure!

"The altar here might have been used to sacrifice that corpse!"

Partridge Whistle was very perceptive and got to the heart of the matter in a single sentence.

After listening, Fang Yun nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, the Fruit of Life won't last very long. There must be another space behind this rock wall."

“There are no traces of carving on the cliff outside the cave, so the path to the tomb must be hidden inside this sacrificial chamber.”

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle immediately sprang into action, walking up to the stone platform and examining it.

There was no trace of a secret passage on the top or the surface of the wall. If there really was a secret passage, it could only be blocked by this stone platform.

"It's really here!"

As soon as the stone platform was pushed aside a little, Partridge Whistle's eyes lit up.

"Senior brother, let me help you!"

Seeing this, the old foreigner stepped forward and helped Partridge Whistle push the stone platform aside.

Sure enough, there was a secret passage behind the stone platform.

The passageway was rather low, and people had to crouch to get in.

Looking inside, the passage is curved and steeply upwards, and its end cannot be seen from outside the cave.

Partridge Whistle pulled out a pistol, then lowered his body and slipped into the secret passage, with Fang Yun and the others following behind.

This secret passage is not very long, only about twenty meters long, and it is a semi-circular passage.

After exiting the secret passage, the four arrived at a stone platform.

Before us lies a natural cave, the entire cave resembling a cylindrical hollow with a domed ceiling.

Considering the darkness inside the cave, Fang Yun took out several phosphorescent tubes and handed them to the three of them, while he looked down at the stone platform.

Everywhere you look, vines are everywhere, countless vines covering the entire cave wall like a fishing net, and blood bait flowers grow on each vine.

Through the gaps in the vines, one could vaguely see a tall corpse in the center of the cave, from which all the vines grew.

However, due to the sheer number of vines, it was impossible to see the bottom of the cave from the stone platform.

"Hiss...々!"

"Fang Yun, are you sure these vines grew from the corpses?"

"Can a corpse support so many vines?"

After scanning the bottom of the cave with the light from the phosphorescent tube, the old foreigner asked a question with a look of surprise.

There must be at least eight hundred vines in this cave, if not a thousand!

"This place is a place where vital energy gathers, raising a giant Xuanwu corpse is a piece of cake."

Fang Yun replied, and then immediately jumped off the stone platform.

The stone platform is only three or four meters from the bottom of the cave, so there is no need for a safety rope.

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

After scanning the area, Fang Yun quickly found his target.

To his side and slightly in front of him was a huge crystal stone, square in shape, covered with vines, through which one could see many symbols and patterns engraved on the crystal stone.

Beneath the crystal stone lay a mahogany coffin, with a large hole in the head of the coffin.

Clearly, the giant Xuanwu corpse was originally lying in this mahogany pavilion, but the growth of vines broke through the pavilion, and as the vines grew longer and longer, they also pulled the giant Xuanwu corpse out of the coffin.

After only glancing at the coffin, Fang Yun shifted his gaze to the side of the coffin.

Next to the mahogany pavilion, there was a huge empty tortoise shell, which was red with black patterns, and a small part of it was pressed down by a huge crystal.

"The shell of a molting turtle..."

Fang Yun's eyes lit up the moment he saw the tortoise shell.

A turtle that can molt must be at least over a thousand years old, and such a thousand-year-old turtle must also have great luck and have eaten some special things from heaven and earth in order to reach the point of molting. Such a turtle that can molt is called a turtle or a molting turtle.

After a molting turtle sheds its shell, that shell becomes a priceless treasure.

Because...that tortoise shell can cure all poisons in the world!

Even if bitten by the most poisonous blood corpse, as long as the tortoise shell powder is consumed quickly enough, one can withstand the blood corpse's poison.

Its rarity is beyond description.

"nice one!"

Fang Yun was overjoyed and forcefully pulled the tortoise shell out from under the crystal, instantly storing it in his system space.

boom!

At the same time, the balance of the huge crystal was broken, and it fell to the ground with a loud thud.

At this moment, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, also arrived at the bottom of the cave. After discovering the commotion on Fang Yun's side, they all gathered around.

"Fang Yun, are you alright?"

Hua walked up to Fang Yun and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Fang Yun shook his head and smiled.

It wasn't that he was too greedy and wanted to swallow the tortoise shell all by himself.

However, the tortoise shell was rather large, weighing a good thirty or forty pounds, making it the best fit for the system space.

Otherwise... in the end, it will be the old foreigners' turn to carry this thing again. Carrying heavy things while traveling will slow down the group considerably.

"That's... the Muchen Pearl?"

At this moment, Partridge Whistle walked up to the huge crystal stone and tore off a few of the vines on it.

Snapped...

Suddenly, a slight cracking sound rang out.

Upon hearing the sound, the three brothers, Partridge Whistle and his companions, all drew their weapons and looked behind them.

A creature covered in green fur crawled out of a crevice in the rock and began to greedily chew on a fruit of the living.

That thing had no eyes (money) or ears, and its whole body was covered in green fur. Its limbs were somewhat thick and short.

Upon seeing this little gadget, the three brothers, including Partridge Whistle, were all stunned, but they still did not put down their weapons.

"What is this thing? It looks like a green-haired dog?"

The old foreigner, with his bow and arrow nocked, asked curiously, seemingly quite interested in the little creature.

Upon hearing the old foreigner's words, Fang Yun shook his head and grinned.

"Look at its size, this thing... should be called a green-haired turtle."

"Perhaps they strayed into this cave and couldn't climb out, so they had to rely on these fruits from the living to eat."

After saying that, Fang Yun stepped forward, grabbed the molting turtle, and threw it into the secret passage on the stone platform with a little force.

We've already given him a priceless treasure; it wouldn't be fair to kill him!

Chapters 1-3: The Gate of Disaster!

Seeing this, everyone put away their weapons.

It's just a green turtle; as long as it's not some strange or difficult creature, it's fine.
