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

“It’s really gone…”

Once inside.

Several people concentrated and felt it carefully.

After confirming that the strange footsteps had disappeared, I couldn't help but feel encouraged. At least I didn't have to endure that unspeakable torment anymore.

Listening to Yang Fang’s cheers, and Kunlun and the old foreigner’s subconscious sighs of relief.

However, Chen Yulou did not dare to be too lax.

The Jilei Mountain was unpredictable and even he didn't know how many dangers it still existed, so he subconsciously reminded him.

"This tunnel is not that simple."

"Don't delay, leaving first is the important thing."

He didn't mean to pour cold water on you.

According to ancient legends, this mountain is considered to be an evil god.

It is definitely not as simple as it seems.

What's more, now except for him, because they have refined spiritual consciousness to replace eyes, the other four, including Partridge Whistle, can only rely on their ears to hear.

"Brother Dao, I will lead the way."

"Follow me closely."

Chen Yulou took a step forward and instantly appeared at the front of the team.

The darkness seemed unable to stop him at all.

"it is good!"

Partridge Whistle did not hesitate.

Although he had been wandering in the dark for many years, this was the first time he was blindfolded.

You know, people are always full of fear and anxiety about darkness and the unknown.

Not to mention that I just experienced an indescribable weirdness.

The most crucial thing is that once you lose your sight, you will inherently lack a huge advantage, and it will be extremely risky to travel through a tunnel full of hidden dangers.

Since Chen Yulou took the initiative to lead the way, how could he refuse?

"You go first, I'll cover the rear."

He gestured out loud.

Kunlun, Yang Fang and the old foreigner quietly went around and quickly caught up.

Feeling the movement beside him, Partridge Whistle did not delay and followed closely.

Along the way, Chen Yulou gave reminders from time to time so that the people behind him could determine the direction. This tunnel in Jilei Mountain was completely different from the experience on the way down.

The hill doesn't look big.

It seemed that it would only take a few minutes to cross.

But the tunnel was so winding and twisting that after walking for hundreds of steps, Chen Yulou suddenly stopped.

There is heavy fog ahead.

Another door appeared.

Standing in front of the door at this moment, even he couldn't help but have a look of surprise on his face.

"Brother Chen, what's wrong?"

Noticing that he suddenly stopped, the people behind him also stopped. Partridge Whistle, who was the last one to come, asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"fine."

Worried that they would feel uneasy, Chen Yulou hesitated for a moment but did not say anything.

He just used his spiritual sense to scan the stone door in front of him up and down.

It was almost exactly the same as the one they saw when they came in, as if they had been carved from the same mold. The stone door was about one person tall, and an ancient, heavy atmosphere filled the air.

The same groove style is used for the embedded stone balls.

Just pull it gently to push it open.

but……

When his 'gaze' swept across the pair of eyes on the door, his eyebrows couldn't help but jump violently.

All the eyes on the door were closed.

"Open eyes are Yang, closed eyes are Yin..."

Chen Yulou subconsciously recalled what he had said that day.

And from the previous inference.

He had actually guessed it, with one opening and one closing, the yin and yang were out of order.

Now they are all tightly closed, which means that the next folding fan door is most likely... an extremely dark place!

After letting out a breath, Chen Yulou briefly stated his guess.

It was also to remind a few people to make preparations early.

After hearing his words, Partridge Whistle suddenly remembered the scene he had seen halfway up the wall before.

Thunder rumbles on Thunder Mountain.

Think of this.

He immediately asked thoughtfully.

"Brother Chen, are those eyeball totems outside the mountain...all open?"

"Open it?"

Chen Yulou was still thinking about what situation he might encounter behind the door.

When I suddenly heard his question, I couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a moment.

"should be."

Kunlun, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

I saw several people looking towards me.

he added.

"I saw it clearly. Except for the closed eye on the stone door, the other totems were open."

Not loud.

But the certainty revealed in his words was extremely deep.

"If it's as Brother Kunlun said, then it should be correct."

Partridge Whistle nodded, "The outer peak is extremely yang, and the inner mountain is extremely yin. Between opening and closing, yin and yang are out of order."

After some analysis.

Chen Yulou suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.

Deep in his mind, it seemed as if there was an invisible hand sorting out his tangled thoughts bit by bit.

The things that I couldn't understand just now suddenly became clear.

Where there is yin, there is yang.

but……

Judging from the previous situation, what's behind this door might not be that simple.

"The extremely yin place may be the snake's nest."

As soon as this thought came to his mind, even his face turned grim.

From the moment we entered the ancient city of Jingjue, apart from the yellow sand, those strange black snakes were almost everywhere.

But where exactly they came from has never been determined.

Now, he finally had a guess in his mind.

"Be careful."

"It's not peaceful behind the door."

"But... no matter what you hear, don't take off the black scarf easily."

Chen Yulou warned again.

He actually hadn't said anything else.

That is, from beginning to end, the evil god Mahakala never appeared.

Is it just a rumor, or is it hiding behind the door?

"it is good."

"Yes, from the shopkeeper."

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Chen. We'll just walk in the dark today."

Several people responded.

Hearing this, Chen Yulou breathed a sigh of relief. Without further delay, he reached out and grabbed the door leaf and pulled it hard to the left, causing the stone ball in the mechanism to spin in the groove.

The tightly closed stone door also burst open.

Revealing a longer and narrower tunnel at the back.

The rock walls on both sides were almost glued together, barely enough for one person to enter and exit. In the narrowest part, one had to lean sideways to squeeze through.

But that's nothing.

The most terrifying thing is.

As soon as the stone door opened, a bone-chilling cold wind blew in, carrying with it a strong and heavy smell of damp and decay.

To be honest, the cold wind and the strong sand are just the most insignificant problems during the trip to the Western Regions.

Water, food, wild beasts, army ants, black snakes.

Which one is not more terrifying than the cold wind?

No matter how cold the monsoon is, all you can do is add some thicker clothes to keep warm.

Therefore, except for the initial period when they first set foot in the Western Desert, which was a little unbearable for everyone, they gradually got used to it over time.

But at this moment...

A chilly wind blew in from behind the door.

But it felt as if my bones and marrow were being scraped away.

Even though their blood was surging and their life fire was burning, they felt their souls tremble as if they were falling into an icy cave when the cold wind blew.

"So cold?"

"No, this is the breath of extreme yin."

"That is the cold wind blowing from hell in the legends of the ancient Jingjue people."

Even though I guessed that there was an extremely dark place behind the door and was mentally prepared, when I really felt it all, an indescribable panic and uneasiness could not help but grow and spread in my heart.

The wind from hell.

They had heard this word many times.

I first learned from Una that the Turkic tribe was one of the first people to discover the ancient city, and wizards from all generations would go deep into the city to look for the sacred tree.

In their records.

This is how the cold wind is described.

As the sun sets and the sky darkens, demons and evil spirits awaken from their deep slumber. They rise from deep underground on the deadly wind.

The entire ancient city was shrouded in cold wind.

Once the wind starts to blow, even the most ferocious beasts in the desert will flee in panic in order to survive.

Because as long as the wind blows.

Whether human or animal, the flesh and blood will be stripped away and blown away, leaving only a pile of white bones.

Apart from that.

They had seen similar descriptions in the murals in Xiye Kingdom and Gumo Prefecture.

The ancients could not understand.

So they all blamed it on the anger of the gods or the revival of the devil.

After hearing many rumors, they finally saw it for themselves.

"Stimulate the Qi and blood...protect the heart meridian."

Chen Yulou's expression changed slightly, and he reminded in a low voice.

There was no need to be reminded. The five of them were all veterans and had experienced the terror of life and death countless times. As soon as they realized something was wrong, they immediately started to circulate their energy and blood.

now……

The sounds of blood surging like springs and thunder came from under the bodies of several people.

As they overlap, it’s like a rising tide.

Among the few people, Kunlun and Yang Fang, who cultivated their physical bodies and took the path of horizontal training, had the most astonishing aura, especially Kunlun. There was a faint black gold sheen on his body, which made him look like a god descending from heaven.

The two brothers, Partridge Whistle, had Qi flowing throughout their bodies, with a wisp of spiritual energy flowing through the eight extraordinary meridians.

As for Chen Yulou, he remained as calm as still water.

As if nothing was done.

But... if you look closely, you will find that the cold wind blowing from behind the door splits into two when passing in front of him and flows from the side of his body.

However, several people's eyes were blinded.

So no one saw this amazing scene.

"Follow me."

After confirming the conditions of several people.

Chen Yulou didn't delay any longer and stepped over the stone gate.

boom--

The moment you land.

The cold wind that was originally just like the gurgling of a stream suddenly exploded, turning into a thunderous wave and sweeping straight over.

As if there wasn't a crack behind the door.

It's a wind tunnel.

He still felt it was difficult to maintain his body shape, let alone ordinary people. No wonder the people from the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions feared this place like a tiger.

Ordinary people dare not enter here.

The life lamp was about to be blown out in an instant.

All the blood, flesh and bones turned into ashes.

It is really hard to imagine that this is just the extension of the ghost cave and we have not even really reached the cave. How did the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom thousands of years ago go down into the cave and take away the Eye of the Snake God?

dong dong dong-

There were heavy footsteps.

Partridge Whistle and the other three also stepped into the tunnel.

They were obviously not strong enough and had to resort to various methods such as using heavy weights to force themselves to stand firm in the cold wind.

"What the hell is this place?"

"Hold on tight."

"Shopkeeper Chen, have we reached the edge of the ghost cave?"

“Isn’t there a cliff thousands of feet high ahead?”

Feeling the whistling wind that made their bodies stagger all over the place, the faces of the four people in the group, including Partridge Whistle, changed drastically.

He subconsciously bent his body and grabbed the stone walls on both sides with his hands, his face full of surprise and doubt.

Now that his eyes were covered and he couldn't see, this undoubtedly intensified his inner fear.

In their understanding, the tunnels at the foot of the mountain are generally just the flow of wind, so there is only one possibility for such a terrifying gale.

That is a dangerous cliff, close to the abyss.

The scene in the mural on the ceiling brick corridor emerged in the minds of several people.

A bottomless hole.

It seems to lead to the depths of hell.

"No."

Unfortunately, facing the suspicions of several people, Chen Yulou just shook his head calmly.

"how come?"

Hearing his answer, the old foreigner couldn't help but widen his eyes, as if he wanted to see everything in front of him clearly through the thick black scarf.

Unfortunately, he has neither Night Vision nor Divine Sense.

Although the five senses and six consciousnesses are far beyond those of ordinary people.

But it can't penetrate.

It was still pitch black in front of me.

"There are still about a few dozen steps."

A subtle wisp of spiritual consciousness spread out, and the situation in the tunnel was no secret in Chen Yulou's eyes.

Go forward thirty to fifty steps.

It's endless darkness.

Dozens of steps?

After hearing this number, the worries of several people who were originally worried about being unbearable were reduced a lot.

If you walk faster, it won’t take even half a minute to cover this distance.

Yang Fang breathed a sigh of relief. "What are you waiting for, Shopkeeper Chen? Just go ahead. We can definitely follow you."

"Then there will be no delay."

Chen Yulou thought so too.

If he delayed, something bad would happen. He didn't want to stay in this damn place for even a second.

Subconsciously, he quickened his pace and passed through the narrow mountain crevice. Although the people behind him were shocked by how narrow the crevice was, they all tacitly kept silent.

only……

Walk less than ten steps.

The sound of iron leaves clashing suddenly rang out.

Yang Fang, who was leaning sideways to squeeze through the crack, couldn't help but frown.

"Old foreigner, why did you bring those two armored beasts with you?"

He had seen the armored beast several times, and every time it awoke, it was accompanied by the sharp sound of iron leaves clashing.

But what he couldn't figure out was.

Now is not the time to rob tombs or open coffins. Even though the armored beast has transformed into a monster, it is not good at fighting.

It doesn't seem to do much to bring it with you.

Instead, it distracts you.

"I handed it over to Yuan Hong to take care of before I came down."

Hearing his joke, the old foreigner was puzzled and responded subconsciously.

"You...didn't bring it?"

Yang Fang's sideways movement suddenly froze, "What's with that iron leaf sound?"

"What iron leaf..."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, the old foreigner frowned.

But the sentence was not finished yet.

There was a strong friction sound coming from above my head, which was clearly the sound of iron scales leaves rubbing against each other. In addition... there were also rustling and hissing sounds.

The voices intertwined.

So familiar.

He has heard it countless times during this period.

It's not some armored beast at all, it's something only a black snake can possess.

"Shh, be quiet, the snakes seem to be right above our heads... No, beside us, on the ground, it seems to be everywhere."

Listen attentively with your ears open.

The rustling sound has become like boiling water in a copper furnace.

Even the cold aura unique to black snakes appeared outside his body.

Suppress all the dark winds.

The unreasonable attack came in my face.

Feeling the terrifying yin energy, Yang Fang suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. His scalp went numb and he got goose bumps all over his body.

Just at the moment of distraction.

The snake tide seemed to have arrived in front of him.

He held his hand on the stone wall and clearly felt a cold, slippery, disgusting thing slowly crawling over.

"It's a snake."

"Damn it, we fell into a snake cave!"
