C189

Once again, we managed to escape from death. When we rushed out of the tunnel, we were shocked and frightened, and only after seeing the heavy stone door fall down did Eldest Martial Brother and I take in a deep breath. We could no longer care about that as we all sat down on the ground, gasping for air.

The moment my butt touched the ground, I felt an unbearable itch all over my body. Looking at my own body, I could actually see many red spots that were as big as peanuts.

It was painful and itchy, and I wanted to reach out and scratch it, but the moment I touched it, I felt a piercing pain.

When the eldest senior brother saw my appearance, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Youngest junior brother, you also have seven or eight peanut sized red lumps on your face. It looks quite frightening. How do you feel?"

"I feel like it's definitely not going to be good. That Black Zombie Worm is too powerful. If I meet it again, you stop me and leave the rest to me." I said, baring my teeth.

"Did you finish it already? "Don't worry, didn't you just soak in a pool of blood and have your blood absorbed by the Blood Sucking Demon Larva? These Black Corpse Worms probably can't do anything to you, your body which is immune to poisons is really enviable." The eldest senior brother was lying beside the stone door, so he had time to joke around with me.

I was indeed injected with blood essence by the Blood Sucking Demon Larva. Earlier, in order to steal the Yang Ghost Mother Grass, I was corroded to such a state by the Corpse Transformation Flower in the Lingnan Medicinal Herbs. I believe that this Black Corpse Worm is not a big threat to me.

I took a deep breath and opened Eldest Senior Brother's bag. I took out two bottles of water and gave one to Eldest Senior Brother. I opened one and drank it all in one gulp before tossing the empty bottle to the side.

The eldest senior brother, seeing me drink water like this, couldn't help but feel his heart ache. "Youngest junior brother, you can't drink water like this either. We don't know how long we'll stay in this damned place. If you drink this water, what will happen in the future?"

"I don't know whether or not he'll live past today, so why bother so much. Look at the danger in this tomb, there's definitely going to be a lot of trouble later."

I said dejectedly as I stood up and walked to the stone door. My heart immediately felt cold, this stone door had sealed off the entrance to the cave and behind it were Black Corpse Worms. It would be impossible for us to get out of here, so we must think of another way.

The senior monk nodded, admitting my words. Then he said, "You're right, I chose a door of life, and it's already so dangerous. If we go through other doors, our deaths would have been even more disastrous."

He then crawled up from the ground and said to me, "Youngest junior brother, we did not return to the exit of the underground palace, but instead went straight into this huge tomb. Since we have come, then we cannot come in vain and look around to see if we can find the exit. Even if we cannot find the exit, we must find Eunuch Li's coffin and set it on fire.

I shifted my gaze away from the stone door and looked behind me, only to see a large tomb. Above me was a huge dome. The entire tomb's flat structure was a large rectangle, confirming what the ancients had said about the Heaven's Circle.

The dome was quite tall, and was carved with dragons and phoenixes. It was brightly colored, and perfectly preserved. There were also a few huge stone pillars supporting the enormous dome. Even the stone pillars were carved with exquisite patterns.

It was truly hard to imagine that even a eunuch from the Qing Dynasty could build his own underground palace into such a flourishing structure. Just what sort of background did this guy have?

With this huge question in mind, eldest senior brother and I walked side by side towards the depths. Along the way, eldest senior brother and I treaded on thin ice and were extremely careful with every step we took, afraid that something terrifying would suddenly appear again.

At this moment, the Eldest Senior Brother and I were like birds frightened by a bow. With just a slight change, we were already covered in cold sweat.

Thus, on the way here, there was nothing abnormal. Aside from the sound of our footsteps and gasps, we didn't hear anything else.

Holding the powerful flashlight, I scanned the surroundings. Suddenly, I saw an eardrum at the side. There was no door, so I called the eldest senior brother to go in and take a look.

Even though we were scared, our eldest senior brother and I were extremely curious. Otherwise, we wouldn't have entered this damned place.

If I knew what was going on below, I wouldn't have come down even if I were beaten to death.

Eldest senior brother and I, one after the other, walked into the room.

Although it was an ear room, it was very spacious and was about the size of a basketball court. There was some furniture in this room, as well as some bottles and things that looked like ancient items.

Further in, he saw seven or eight armors on either side of the middle road. This armor was just an empty shell, as if it had been hoisted up by something. At first glance, it seemed to have a dozen or so people standing on both sides of it.

The eldest senior brother and I quickly went through the armor and arrived at the deepest part of the hall. Soon after, we saw a few large boxes.

He had no idea what was in the box.

Eldest Senior Brother and I are not greedy for money, nor are we here to steal tombs. We are just here to find the real culprit that caused the death of the person on the construction site.

However, he couldn't help but want to open the box to take a look when he saw such a large and exquisite box.

The first person who couldn't hold it in was the Eldest Senior Brother. He said to me, "Junior Brother, what do you think might be in this box?"

"I feel like it's filled with several chests full of gold and silver treasures. Otherwise, what else could it be?" "No," I said.

"Why don't we open it and take a look?" The Eldest Senior Brother's curiosity was piqued.

"I think we better not open it. What if something bad happens and something bad happens? This ancient tomb is full of weird things, it's better if we don't get into trouble." I reminded him.

"Don't worry, I won't use my hand to touch it." I didn't wait for the eldest senior brother to stop me before he walked towards one of the large boxes with the peach wood sword in hand. He directly used the peach wood sword to open the box.
