Tomb raiding: It all started with the kidnapping of Yin Xinyue

The other two brothers were still clinging to the ladder, but their bodies were trembling uncontrollably, staring at the osmanthus tree in front of them with terrified expressions.

Chen Yulou sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Gurgle..." one of the brothers stammered, barely suppressing his terror, "Ghosts...they're all ghosts!"

Chen Yulou was startled upon hearing this and quickly instructed, "Don't move!"

He then quickly climbed down.

Beyond the lush canopy of trees.

Chen Yulou soon saw the "ghost" his brothers had been talking about!

The osmanthus tree in front of me is not only tall and lush, but its trunk is also frighteningly thick!

At a glance, it looked as thick as a dozen people could encircle it!

The bark of the osmanthus tree is extremely uneven on its thick trunk.

The bark of those trees was angular and sharp, and at first glance, it looked like human faces!

Each face has a nose and eyes, all the facial features are complete, the appearance is very clear, and even the expression is clearly visible!

Everyone's eyes were wide open, their mouths agape, and their faces were contorted!

He looked utterly horrified!

Chen Yulou himself was taken aback!

After a long pause, he finally came to his senses, took out his small divine blade, and made a slash.

The face was smeared open, and what flowed out were streams of bright red blood!

"What exactly is going on?"

Chen Yulou himself was stunned.

“Everyone, there’s no need to worry.” Li Xiaohu’s voice suddenly came from above.

"Since it was planted, this osmanthus tree has never received any sunlight or nutrients. It has been nourished entirely by the corpse energy and has absorbed nutrients from countless corpses. It has long since grown into a corpse osmanthus!"

"It's a ghost (osmanthus) tree."

"The human faces on the tree bark and the blood inside the tree may be the result of the resentment of the corpses that were used as nourishment."

Li Xiaohu reassured everyone, saying:

"However, this osmanthus tree is just frighteningly tall, it poses no threat whatsoever, so there's no need to panic."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yulou and the others breathed a sigh of relief and continued climbing down the ladder.

Once everyone had descended to the bottom of the cave.

The bandits from the Unloading Ridge gang then scattered in all directions, holding torches.

Li Xiaohu also took a torch and probed outside, passing through a grove of osmanthus branches that reached the ground.

Suddenly, a dark two-story pavilion appeared before our eyes!

Even though the light provided by the torches was dim.

It is still easy to see that the gate tower in front of us is carved with jade railings and the doors and windows are exquisitely crafted.

But the entire pavilion was pitch black, with black eaves, black tiles, black beams, and black pillars; even the handles on the doors and windows were all black.

It looks a little strange.

At this time.

Chen Yulou walked over and murmured, "Why does this little building look so strange?"

"Boss!" Luo Laowai and several of his brothers, including Hua Maguai, rushed over.

They were both taken aback when they saw the black attic in front of them.

Hua Maguai then reported, "We found the same attic over there!"

Chen Yulou and Luo Laowai exchanged a glance, and Chen Yulou couldn't help but shudder.

At the bottom of the well where Yin Elixir is refined.

Not to mention the towering cassia tree, there are also four small, pitch-black buildings.

Just thinking about it makes me feel very strange.

Chen Yulou walked slowly to the front of the pavilion, tried to touch it, and found that it felt very cold.

He picked up the little divine sword again and tapped it.

Two "clang clang" sounds were emitted.

"This building looks like it's entirely constructed of pig iron!" he exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Laowai couldn't help but frown and curse, "Fuck your mother's ass."

"This place is kind of creepy."

Li Xiaohu reassured him, "This kind of iron building is naturally not for living in. It is hidden underground in Danjing and is so heavily guarded."

"I think these small buildings must be the medicine storehouse where the elixirs are stored."

"Or perhaps there are other unexpected treasures hidden inside."

Li Xiaohu's words instantly excited Luo Laowai, who was greedy for money, and he immediately said, "Brother Xiaohu is right!"

"Who cares what kind of damn place this is!"

"Any place with treasure is a good place!"

As he spoke, he stepped forward, wanting to enter the black attic to find out what was inside.

Luo Laowai walked up to the black iron gate.

He reached out to push the door open, but found that the iron door wouldn't budge!

He then stepped back two steps and called over Kunlun Mole: "Come here."

"Aba aba." Kunlun Mole was about to step forward when Chen Yulou stopped him.

Chen Yulou knocked on the iron gate again, judging from the sound:

"This iron gate isn't thick, yet it's closed so tightly; it must be locked with a mechanism."

After saying this, he summoned the Red Maiden and asked her to find a way to open the mechanism.

Hong Guniang rushed over from elsewhere, first nodding to Li Xiaohu, and finally walking to the iron gate, carefully feeling it up and down.

I touched it for a long time.

Seemingly having found the opening of the mechanism, he took out several more gold pillows and pried them open repeatedly.

Not long after.

A few "click-click" sounds came from behind.

The iron gate loosened with a snap!

The young woman in red looked delighted and was about to push open the door to enter.

"Click-clack. Click-clack..."

Suddenly, several faint machine-generated sounds came from inside.

She had just pushed open a crack when Li Xiaohu pulled her back inside.

"careful!"

The voice just fell.

Suddenly, a series of "whoosh whoosh whoosh!" and "clang clang clang clang!" sounds came from inside the iron building!

It's like arrows are constantly flying inside!

The door panels trembled incessantly, and even the entire black iron building shook!

During this time, an arrow shot out through the crack in the door, but Chen Yulou, with quick eyes and hands, sliced ​​it off!

Take a closer look.

It was an arrow with its arrowhead coated in poison!

Seeing this, Hong Gu Niang couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. She looked at Li Xiaohu gratefully and murmured, "Xiaohu..."

If Li Xiaohu hadn't pulled her back in time...

She's probably already riddled with arrows and traps inside!

Fortunately, the sounds from inside the black iron building only lasted for a short while before completely stopping.

As everyone gradually came to their senses, they looked at Li Xiaohu with admiration.

If it weren't for Li Xiaohu's quick thinking...
