Tomb Raider: The man is in the Nine Gates, but the system insists it's the Primordial Era.
Chapter 27, The Heavenly Venerable's Palace of Boundless Blessings.
"Never let go!"
"Control your speed! Don't go so fast! Your hands won't be able to handle that intense friction!"
"It's over!"
After jumping off the cliff using the rope, Partridge Whistle kept controlling his speed and constantly stomped on the cliff face.
While this method results in a much slower descent, it is safer and leaves no room for error.
They kept stepping on the cliff face.
One way is to create resistance by rubbing your feet against the cliff, which can slow down the fall and prevent your body from bearing the sudden force of the impact.
Secondly, this method can also be used to observe whether the rope is long enough and whether there are other dangers below the cliff.
However, Partridge Whistle didn't expect that Su Mu hadn't thought that much about it at all.
"you……"
"morning……"
"explain……"
"what……"
From Partridge Whistle's position, Su Mu's figure was no longer visible; all that could be seen was the straw rope stretched taut by the immense force of the fall.
The few Unloading Ridge Warriors who were still cautiously climbing the mountain ladder twitched at the corners of their mouths.
"If this kid doesn't die after all this, I'll go eat shit right now!"
"What a reckless fool! He's doing something even the Mountain Moving Taoists wouldn't dare to do, tsk tsk tsk."
"Don't I feel like I've heard you say 'eat shit' before?"
"Pah! That kid got lucky last time! This time it's different! I definitely can't afford it, wanna bet?"
"Betting this with you? You have that kind of hobby, but I don't."
"They were really fast. In the blink of an eye, they were at least a hundred meters ahead of us. It would take us almost half an hour to cover those hundred meters, and maybe not even that."
"It was fast, but it was a peaceful passing."
"..."
boom!
Deep beneath the abyss, in an old underground palace that had been untouched for a long time, a heavy thud was heard as something fell to the ground.
Then, acrid construction dust quickly rose into the air.
"I'm fine! Don't worry!"
Su Mu's loud voice echoed from the bottom of the abyss, accompanied by the building dust that had already drifted up to the front of the group of Unloading Ridge Warriors on the ladder.
Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle finally breathed a sigh of relief and began to control the rope in his hands, slowing down the descent.
The Unloading Ridge Warrior who had made the bet looked up in surprise, only to find his companion's calf right in front of him.
The man exclaimed in equal shock, "They're still alive? Are they some kind of immortal? By the way, do you want some now? I'm feeling a bit better."
"roll!"
"..."
Having landed safely, Su Mu glanced at his burning palm and gave a wry smile.
At that speed, only a non-human creature like him could land safely.
The rope was so tight it almost sparked from his palm, but he managed to stop the fall.
After landing.
He smashed the roof tiles and pillars of the underground palace beneath his feet, along with a swarm of small centipedes covered in dark green blood.
The little centipedes never expected that someone in this world would so irrationally and directly strike them, disregarding the potent toxicity on their bodies, comparable to sulfuric acid.
"How could I forget about Brother Kun?"
Su Mu slapped his forehead, remembering the thought that something seemed to be missing when he landed.
At the top of the cliff.
The old foreigner, protected by a group of tomb raiders from Changsha, glanced at the angry-looking rooster beside him, then at the cliff's location, his brow twitching wildly: "Your Brother Kun!"
goo goo-
Previously, the old foreigner had tried to capture this mutated bloodline of the Angry-Eyed Chicken.
Whether it was because he angered the other party at that time or for some other reason, this Angry Rooster had never gotten along with him.
"No, no, I have some dry food here, you eat, you eat, don't peck me."
The old foreigner felt a chill run down his spine and quickly took out some dry rations from his backpack.
"It's time to set off."
Having already donned the Unloading Ridge Armor and wielding the Unloading Ridge's inherited divine weapon, the Little Divine Edge, Chen Yulou strode towards the direction of the Hanging Mountain Ladder.
Compared to Partridge Whistle Su Mu, his steps down the cliff were more complicated and ordinary, but they were safer than usual.
Before he descended the ladder, many strongmen of the Unloading Ridge Sect paved the way for him, proving the ladder's safety.
The armor and the small divine sword on his body gave him the confidence to face any danger after going down.
"Get out of the way! Here comes the head!"
The Unloading Warriors made way for Chen Yulou to pass first.
Chen Yulou stood on the edge of the cliff, took a deep breath, turned around, and began to descend the mountain ladder with his legs feeling a little weak.
"Don't light a fire if you don't want to die!"
"Partridge Whistle, don't come down yet. Stay over there and watch. There are venomous centipedes everywhere down there. If you touch one, you'll die!"
Are you alright?
"I'm fine, I'm not afraid of these things."
"..."
The sound of Su Mu and Partridge Whistle's conversation, along with the sound of the wind blowing up from below, reached the ears of the Unloading Ridge group.
The Unloading Warriors, who were almost at the top of the cliffside underground palace, had cold, mocking looks on their faces.
"Okay, okay! Don't come down, let me keep the treasure all to myself."
Someone mimicked Su Mu's tone and said this.
"Ha ha ha ha."
The next moment, laughter erupted.
Standing atop the underground palace structure, Partridge Whistle hesitated, but recalling Su Mu's previous miraculous abilities, he decided not to venture any further.
"Didn't any of our men come down?"
"I didn't see them; they should all still be up there."
"That's good. Let me see how to get rid of these poisonous insects. You can come down and move the things after we've cleaned them up."
"..."
Standing in the spacious hall of some kind of underground palace, Su Mu took out a tinderbox and looked around for something to light it.
Unlike Chen Yulou, he didn't have night vision that allowed him to see clearly in the dark. In the dimly lit space, he was just as unable to discern his surroundings.
Upon seeing the firelight, the swarms of highly venomous centipedes, which had been hiding under various objects, attacked again.
"What? My sorcerer's aura can intimidate that Angry-Eyed Chicken, but it can't intimidate you bunch of poisonous insects?"
His eyes shimmered with golden light, and the swarm of venomous centipedes, sensing the oppressive aura emanating from him, all retreated.
Hiss--
"Knowing you're here, come and try if you're not afraid of dying."
Hearing a relatively loud friction sound coming from beside him, Su Mu continued walking forward with vigilance.
The six-winged centipede should have already appeared, but it also sensed the special biological aura emanating from the Sumu Wu clan's bloodline, so it hesitated to approach.
Blessings are immeasurable.
Su Mu walked to the huge Taoist statue placed in the main hall, lit the ever-burning candle with some kind of animal fat still remaining on the sandalwood, and then saw the four large characters hanging above the main hall.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken? This isn't the general's tomb."
Su Mu tried hard to recall the chapters and plots about the General's Tomb at Ping'er Mountain from his previous life.
This is clearly a Taoist temple. What kind of good person would build a Taoist statue to ward off evil and bring good fortune in their own tomb?
Is there still a plaque with the four characters "福生无量" hanging on it?
The candlelight flickered.
Su Mu then went to several other places and lit a total of eighty-one eternal lamps.
The unnamed palace was instantly illuminated by the fire, reflecting the other objects inside.
Inside the hall, images of cranes and auspicious clouds appeared on the walls, followed by several shrines.
