Tomb Robber: I, Chen Yulou, am dedicated to cultivating immortality!

The night is getting darker.

Except for the howling wind, the world was extremely quiet.

In a corner of the tower that was mostly submerged in the yellow sand, there was a wind lantern hanging. It was swaying back and forth in the wind, and the light in the lamp became brighter and dimmer.

Shrouded in light and fire.

Tents are lined up one after another.

It is located between ancient cities and is protected from wind and snow by the broken walls that have never collapsed.

In the center of the camp, a bonfire shot up into the sky and burned brightly. There were also several figures holding spears around the fire, occasionally emitting white air and whispering something.

The tent outside had already fallen silent.

We traveled all day in the snow.

In the evening before, the group searched the ancient city several times again. In addition to the statues and bronze men that they could not take away, they also collected a lot of jade and gold coins.

Submerged in sandstorm.

Only gold, silver, jade and other stones will not be corroded.

Although it is not as great as the treasures in the royal mausoleum, it can still be considered an unexpected surprise.

After all, who would complain about having too much money?

In a tent near the ancient city, there was a faint flickering light.

Chen Yulou sat cross-legged on the carpet. Although he had been busy for a long time, he was not sleepy at all. Instead, he concentrated on studying the jade eye.

On the carpet beneath him.

There were several pieces of jade fragments scattered around.

He brought them all back from Xiaoyu Tower.

After repeated comparisons, he is now able to confirm that the jade eye in his hand is made of Hetian green jade.

But the feelings presented by the two are completely different.

The fragments were motionless.

Like a dead thing.

And that jade eyeball, although it was just a failed product with clear cracks, but when his spiritual sense swept over it and touched the jade eye, it was like hitting a layer of invisible mist.

Always impenetrable and undetectable.

"wrong……"

Tried it several times.

Chen Yulou frowned and suddenly thought of a possibility.

Put the jade bead away.

He stood up and opened the tent door.

Without disturbing anyone, he quickly moved through the camps. Soon, he arrived at the cave he had passed in the evening.

At this time, it was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

He also did not bring any lighting equipment such as a lantern.

He just stood outside the cave with his hands behind his back, leaning over and looking down. His eyes passed over the long and narrow stone path below him, and he could just see through the stone door and see inside the door clearly.

But the altar should have been pitch black.

At this moment, there was a wisp of dark fog light flashing.

It looks like... a human figure?

Seeing this, Chen Yulou's mouth curled up slightly, as if he saw through everything.

He gathered his aura and took a step forward. The whole person was like a feather passing silently in the air. The speed seemed slow, but it was actually astonishingly fast.

Just for a moment.

Then he fell outside the stone gate.

The shadowy misty light also reacted very quickly.

A little bit of light and shadow dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

only……

After finally catching it, how could Chen Yulou let it go?

"thunder!"

One word fell.

It's like holding the divine will in your mouth.

In an instant, a divine thunder appeared out of nowhere in the empty dome of the altar, with shining lightning and a terrifying divine power covering everything below.

"One more step."

"My soul is completely destroyed!"

Staring at the eerie shadow that was obviously suppressed by the divine thunder, Chen Yulou shouted coldly.

Although its true appearance has not yet been revealed.

But such a strange existence is either a demon or an evil spirit.

That is why he would activate the ancient thunder talisman without hesitation. All demons and evil beings would surely be suppressed by the divine thunder.

And the result was just as he guessed.

At this moment, the strange shadow seemed to be frozen in mid-air. Its outline was very similar to that of a human, the only difference was... the head part.

The face is blurry and the facial features cannot be seen clearly.

But it didn't give him the feeling of a human figure, but rather more like a pool of invisible matter.

"Aoki Reiki."

"Break it for me!"

The more he looked, the more surprised he was. Chen Yulou was worried that the night was long and he might have many dreams, so he simply refined a wisp of green wood spiritual energy and gently merged it into his eyes.

It starts with fusing with the thousand-year-old fairy Zhi on Zhalong Mountain and condensing Qingmu's true body.

He was born with a pair of night eyes, and thus entered the legendary level of Dharma eyes.

Not only can it not be blocked by the night and covered by the fog, but it can also be easily penetrated by ordinary evil fog and poisonous mirages.

But the strange shadow at the moment clearly does not fall into this category.

It is impossible to see through it with just the Dharma Eye.

Only then would Chen Yulou use the Qingmu Spirit Eye to take a good look at what the hell it was.

only……

Almost at the moment when its pair of bright eyes looked over.

The eerie shadow that was suppressed by the ancient thunder talisman actually suppressed its shock and let out a sharp whistle.

It was as if it had seen a scene that made it extremely puzzled and unbelievable.

But Chen Yulou ignored him and just glanced away coldly.

Under Qingmu's spiritual eyes, the black fog covering the altar quickly dissipated, and the shrine, the Buddha's images, and the surrounding murals all came into view clearly.

Simultaneously.

The eerie shadow with flickering mist all around it also gradually appeared.

"how come?!"

But the moment he saw it clearly, a rare look of disbelief appeared on Chen Yulou's calm face.

I thought it was either a ghost trapped in the city, or a monster that had cultivated successfully by using the veins of the Xiya capital.

But at this moment his eyes swept away.

It was clearly a flowing, sticky weird thing.

Intangible and qualityless.

Not even the true self.

The moment he saw it, a word subconsciously emerged in Chen Yulou's mind.

Changshengtian?!

That’s right, it’s the god that people on the grassland have believed in from generation to generation.

But the Xiya Kingdom advocates Buddhism, as can be seen from the many golden stone statues of Buddha enshrined in the altar, and Changshengtian is the supreme god of the Mongolian primitive religion Shaman.

Not to mention how big the difference is between Shamanism and ancient Buddhism.

There are unimaginable differences between the Tengri shamans and the shamans believed in by the Turks.

"It is a formless and intangible existence similar to Changshengtian, but it happens to be located in the Western Regions..."

Chen Yulou frowned.

Murmured quietly.

Thoughts are constantly surging.

"Wait, could it be... a ghost look!"

Suddenly, his heart moved and a bold idea came to his mind.

The creators of the ancient Jingjue Kingdom were the Ghost Cave Clan who came from underground. Living in the dark world, they worshipped eyeballs as totems, and the supreme being among them was called the Ghost Eye God.

The Guidong Clan hunts the wild beasts from the Western Regions, tribes, or even the desert.

Sacrifice blood to the ghost eye god.

Trying to obtain the divine power it bestows.

That is to say - the devil's eye.

The person who possesses the devil eyes and demon pupils is the Ghost Mother.

Each generation of the Ghost Mother never shows her true face, so her face is always covered.

As for the Queen of Jingjue, although she is a descendant of the Ghost Cave Clan, she does not have evil eyes or demon pupils. She signed a contract with the Ghost Eye God in order to gain power when she succeeded to the throne, and donated her eyes in exchange for infinite magic power.

Therefore, even though she had boundless magical powers and swept across the Western Regions and conquered thirty-six ancient kingdoms alone during her reign, she still could not escape the fate of life and death.

Unlike the demon mother who reincarnates like a ghost.

Thoughts flashed through my mind.

Chen Yulou's confusion over time completely disappeared.

If the guess is correct.

That sticky liquid-like ghost thing should be the ghost eyes believed by the Ghost Cave Clan.

But it definitely won’t be the real thing.

Rather, it was a ray of divine power that, over thousands of years, slowly acquired intelligence and turned into a demon.

Otherwise, if it really was the legendary supreme being with ghost eyes, it would not be completely suppressed by a bolt of thunder.

"so……"

Chen Yulou muttered to himself.

It seemed as if I saw a picture before my eyes.

After the Queen of Jingjue unified the thirty-six ancient kingdoms in the Western Regions, in order to consolidate her rule and fearing for accidents, she specially summoned the ruler of Xiye, who was the most skilled in making jade among all the countries.

He was ordered to use the jade eyeball as a template and try to secretly imitate an identical jade eye.

Simultaneously.

With supreme magic power, he bestowed a divine power for the King of Xiye to take back.

So that when the jade eye is made, it can be given powers similar to those of the demon eye.

But the Queen of Jingjue could never have imagined that the King of Xiye was so ambitious. After spending many years to imitate a jade eye, he not only did not hand it in, but secretly hid it.

after that.

Because the Queen of Jingjue abused the power of her ghost eyes.

Coupled with the iron-blooded suppression of the thirty-six ancient countries, the people were filled with resentment and complaints. Finally, Prince Gumo united other countries to rise up and capture the ancient city of Jingjue.

Eventually, the once glorious Jingjue Kingdom was reduced to a pile of ruins, and the Guidong Clan became extinct.

The queen who once suppressed all the nations has died.

It is like a huge mountain pressing down on your head is also removed.

He felt more at ease to enshrine the Jade Eye 1 in the altar. To be more precise... it was the divine power that came from the Ghost Eye God.

It’s a pity that he is not a member of the Guidong tribe.

Even with the Jade Eyes, one cannot obtain the boundless magical power like the queen.

Wait until the ancient country is buried by yellow sand.

Thousands of years passed, and the divine power in the jade eyes gradually awakened and transformed into its current appearance.

"In this case... I can't let you go so easily!"

Chen Yulou exhaled.

A pair of eyes imbued with Qingmu's spiritual energy became increasingly cold.

Before setting out, he had an amazing plan, using the jade eye to deceive the world and replace the original with the fake.

Now there is another one.

This is equivalent to increasing the success rate by more than 10% out of thin air.

How could he miss it so easily?

"Thunder character!"

He stretched out his hand, and his slender five fingers passed in front of his body.

Seemingly random, rays of spiritual light emerged one after another, and finally condensed into a huge lightning net, which went straight to cover the strange shadow.

To prevent it from escaping from the battle.

Chen Yulou even used divine thunder to seal the four directions above and below, and the eight positions in front and behind.

At this moment, feeling the majestic momentum and the flashing lightning of the net, the ghost shadow was even more horrified and struggled desperately to try to leave.

Unfortunately.

It is just a wisp of divine power transformed into a demon.

If he met an ordinary person, he might still have a chance, but Chen Yulou had already entered the Golden Core Realm. Not to mention that it was just a wisp of divine thought, with his current realm, if he met Zhou Jiao from Fuxian Lake again, a fight would be over in an instant.

What's more, the eight divine thunders from the four directions were like a pool of thunder around his body.

Make it impossible for it to take even a single step forward.

He could only watch the lightning net approaching.

boom!

Under the terrifying power of thunder, the few remaining intelligence of the ghostly shadow was completely wiped out in an instant, and it was transformed into a wisp of invisible divine power again.

"melt!"

See this situation.

Even Chen Yulou couldn't help but be shocked.

After practicing for so long, in addition to the Qingmu Changsheng Gong, he has practiced many other skills, including swordsmanship, divine movement, foundation building skills, and horizontal training skills.

But when it comes to the worst killing.

But it is undoubtedly this ancient thunder talisman.

No wonder the two major thunder altars in Chenzhou were fighting for it and blood flowed like a river.

He shook his head, dispelled the distracting thoughts in his mind, and gently uttered a word.

The divine consciousness turned into an invisible giant hand, which forcibly merged the divine power that wiped out the spiritual intelligence into the jade eye.

Wait until it's all over.

After putting away the ancient thunder talisman and looking down at the jade eye in his hand, there didn't seem to be much change, but the eyeball totem on the jade was much clearer and as real as ever.

Even the thin crack almost disappeared.

"Next, it's the one in the Stone Palace!"

Chen Yulou clenched his hand and carefully put away the jade eyes. Then he did not stay any longer, turned around, walked through the stone gate, and walked away step by step on the stone steps.

The murmurs faded away.

The ancient altar fell silent again.

It was as if all that had never happened before.

When he returned to the camp, several guys on night patrol were still chatting and had not noticed he had left. Chen Yulou did not disturb them and went straight back to the tent.

Solved a big issue that was on my mind.

He was so focused that he soon fell into a deep sleep.

I slept very soundly. When I woke up, it was already bright outside. The guys were already making a fire and cooking. Some people took the opportunity to go to the ancient city to search for gold.

The Xiangling faction has always been a group of thieves who never leave empty-handed.

According to the kidnapper, it is better to let them take it away than to bury it in the sand and never see the light of day, or to have it stolen by those foreign devils.

A group of young guys were full of enthusiasm, carrying bamboo baskets and shovels.

Just like the people who get up early to go to the beach to catch fish.

The only difference is that one was digging for seafood, while the other was searching for antique artifacts in the sand.

Chen Yulou watched this scene calmly.

Didn't stop it.

However, when he passed through the camp, he saw a figure sitting on a section of the ancient city wall from afar, with his hands on his knees and a long box on his back.

I don’t know what I’m thinking.

I was completely absorbed in it.

She didn't even notice that Chen Yulou had walked behind her.

"Miss Una..."

After pondering for a moment, and remembering what the guys had just said, Chen Yulou spoke softly.

Hearing this, Una woke up suddenly.

His eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept well the whole night, and there was a hint of inextricable complexity between his brows.

Chen Yulou pondered for a moment and soon had the answer in his mind.

When they entered the city yesterday, Una tried to stop them and mentioned things like the devil's curse many times.

But the crowd took away the ancient items in the city.

The ghost ants, the incarnation of the devil, disappeared without a trace.

This made her feel an indescribable feeling. Sometimes she wondered if the rumors in the village were wrong, and sometimes she worried that the devil's punishment had not yet come.

The tremendous pressure made her toss and turn all night.

Chen Yulou did not try to persuade her. After all, the fear of the black desert among people who had lived in the Western Regions for generations could not be easily dispelled by a few words.

But mentioned another thing.

"The water we brought from the village is running out."

"Do you think there is any way to get supplies?"

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Una's expression suddenly became serious.

"Manager Chen, there is an underground river running from north to south in the Black Desert. It's called Zidu. If we can find it, it won't be a problem to get clean water."

"Is this the only dark river?"

"That's right. There is also an ancient well about half a day further north. We can go there to restock supplies first."
