C1143 Road to Death
Imagine, the one who oversaw the construction of the tomb of the First Emperor was Prime Minister Reis. This man was known throughout history for his craftiness and meticulousness, and Han Fei, who died at his hands, was a living example.
With his scheming mind, how could he not notice the private movements of these craftsmen? The reason why he did not point it out clearly was probably to avoid alerting the enemy, causing panic among the craftsmen, or to let these people stealthily carve out another way to survive. It would be better to play it by ear, and set up a mystery on the road to the sky, and catch all of them in one fell swoop.
Looking at the scene in front of them, they could almost imagine the time when the First Emperor's Tomb was sealed off. Countless tombs were built by craftsmen as they swarmed along the tunnel, wanting to escape the Heavenly Path of Life. However, as they neared the entrance of the cave, they suddenly encountered the monster. Blood and flesh flew everywhere. Countless living creatures were crushed into a bloody mess in just a short moment.
It was probably because all the craftsmen who built the Qin Tomb had died here that Chu Ba and Xiang Yu could not find a way to enter the Tomb of the First Emperor. That was why this place was not completely burnt up like Epang Palace.
But what caused the spectators to be unable to understand was, what kind of monster could have such terrifying momentum? To think that it would be able to crush so many craftsmen into meat paste, making them become the sacrificial offering of this mausoleum. Moreover, what were those things that left countless bite marks on the bone? At this moment, everyone's hearts were shrouded in a haze. They felt that their future was bleak.
Even Lin Bai's eyes couldn't help but tremble when he thought of those terrifying scenes.
"Now that things have developed to this point, no matter how panicky things are, it's useless. We can only be a bit more careful." Seeing the expressions on the crowd's faces, Ninth Master Qin tried his best to control the fear in his heart as he continued in a low voice, "Since I'm already here, I might be able to leave."
Upon hearing Ninth Master Qin's words, the crowd no longer had any words to say. Their minds somewhat calmed down. Just as Master Qin Jiu had said, they had come to the First Emperor's Tomb for the legendary elixir of immortality. How could he have encountered such difficulties and felt the urge to retreat? If he wanted to keep the people he cared about alive, he could only do his best. Even if it was Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild ahead, he had to brace himself and face them head on.
Right at this moment, the sound of the waves got louder and louder as the sounds of the waves got louder and louder. Even the tombs of the crowd started to crumble, and the ground beneath their feet started to shake as well.
This sudden change, in addition to their earlier guesses about the history of these skeletons, caused the worry in their hearts to grow deeper and deeper. It even made them think that it might have been caused by the mechanism of the mausoleum, causing the tomb path to collapse.
"I'm afraid that earlier, eldest nephew, you touched the feng shui of Lishan and now, there is a Feng Shui Bureau with two dragons battling each other, causing a change in the underground river channel." After listening for a moment, Ninth Master Qin looked at the crowd and continued in a low voice: "Don't think too much. Let's move forward quickly. If we move any slower, the tomb would collapse and we would be smashed into meat paste before we even see the elixir."
Upon hearing these words, the crowd didn't dare to hesitate any longer. They followed closely behind Ninth Master Qin, fleeing towards the entrance of the tomb.
The deeper they went in, the wider the tunnel became. The ground beneath their feet seemed to be even smoother than before. Not only that, even the marks left by the sabers and axes on the stone walls around the tomb had completely disappeared. It was as if someone had used some sort of polishing tool to thoroughly polish the sabre. However, since the situation was critical, no one dared to deduce the cause of the abnormality.
"The place where I met that monster is right in front of me." After walking for a few minutes, Ninth Master Qin suddenly stopped. He raised the cold light in his hand and scanned his surroundings. "Be careful. Try your best not to make any noise."
Upon hearing this, the hearts of the crowd were filled with bewilderment and bewilderment. The collapse of the tunnel behind them was getting more and more intense, and the sound of waves crashing in the underground river was getting increasingly louder. Now that they were in the nick of time, how could they not feel relieved?
"Let's go!" Seeing that more and more stones were falling down from the tomb path, Ninth Master Qin frowned and waved his hand as he spoke in a low voice.
They were all dead, and it could be said that the crowd had completely seen through it by now. They followed closely behind Ninth Master Qin, and with the dim light of the cold lamps, they headed deeper into the mausoleum. However, this was beyond the expectations of the crowd. They had not even met a single bird hair on their journey here, not to mention that crazy beast. This incident caused them to feel slightly relieved.
After running frantically all the way here, the tight feeling of the tunnel was gone. It was as if they had entered a huge space.
"Such heavy water vapor!" After calming himself down, Lin Bai's nose twitched slightly. He felt that the air here was a lot more moist than before, and there was an extremely strong stench coming from the steam. It made people want to vomit when they smelled it, and the sound of the underground river was getting louder and louder, so much so that they could faintly hear the waves hitting the riverbanks.
"Could it be that this underground river has formed an underground lake in the mausoleum?" As he thought of this, a bold thought appeared in Lin Bai's mind. He slowly took a few steps forward, then raised the cold lamp in his hand and swept it towards the exit of the tomb.
Looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was at a loss for words. Under the illumination of the cold lights, they saw a lake in front of them that was either naturally formed or dug up. The lake water was dark and surging, giving off the feeling that there was an endless danger lurking in the lake.
"What a great gift, what a great spirit!" Looking at the huge lake in front of him that was shaped like a dragonfly, Lin Bai understood that the lake in front of him was probably dug out from the foundation of his innate constitution. Looking at the huge lake in front of him that was shaped like a dragonfly, Lin Bai understood that the lake in front of him was probably dug out from the foundation of his innate constitution.
With such a huge layout and such a shocking setup, if it were to spread out, who knew what kind of tremors it would create inside and outside of China. No one could have imagined that the First Emperor's Tomb would be arranged in such a grand and majestic manner. The original founder of the Tomb of the Emperor, Reese, was also a rare Feng Shui genius.
"Whoosh! Quickly get rid of that beast!" Just when everyone was sighing in their hearts, they were amazed by the amazing work of their predecessors. Suddenly, a loud noise came from the lake in front of them, and under the illumination of the cold lights, a few figures in diving suits appeared in front of them, constantly struggling in the water as they cried out in alarm.
"Li San!" Hearing this voice, Ninth Master Qin's face turned serious. He stared at the struggling people in the water with shock in his eyes. He said with a deep voice, "How is this possible? They've actually come in by the river?"
Before they could react, the sounds of the waves in the lake grew increasingly intense, as though the entire surface of the lake was about to be overturned. The lake even rained down on their faces. And what was even more disgusting was that the lake water splashing onto the bodies of the crowd was actually bright red in color, emanating a strong stench of blood.
"Heavens, what is that …" At this time, the normally extremely restrained Tang Cheng revealed an expression of astonishment. He took a few steps back in shock, pointed at the lake, and said with a trembling voice, "Monster …" "Monster, Ninth Master, the monster is coming out!"
The hearts of everyone trembled when they heard this. They focused their attention on the lake's surface, and with a single glance, they could be said to have seen quite a few bizarre and evil things happening even though Lin Bai and Zhang Sanming were both in the Mortal Realm. Right now, just like Tang Cheng, they all retreated a few steps, their eyes filled with shock, and even their legs slightly trembled.
"Hiss hiss …" Under the illumination of the cold light, on the surface of the water that was incomparably distorted by the ripples, an incomparably terrifying huge silhouette appeared. Under the illumination of the cold light, on the surface of the water that was incomparably distorted by the ripples, an incomparably terrifying huge figure appeared.
With the aid of the dim cold light, Lin Bai was even more shocked to discover that there was a figure struggling and twisting on the mouth of the monster in the lake. And in just that short instant, that figure was thrown into the air by the monster. Then, the monster suddenly opened its bloody maw. With the two images, the figure became as laughable as grass scraps, and was instantly engulfed.
The stinky stench of blood instantly permeated the air, permeating the air and permeating the air. The stench of blood permeated the air, causing the spectators to feel extremely dizzy and nauseous.
"Turn off the lights!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Ninth Master Qin's expression changed drastically and he spoke up.
The crowd was taken aback by his words, but soon after, they hurriedly rushed towards the light switch in the middle of the room. But before they could press the switch with their hands, the monster suddenly turned around and stared closely at the source of the light. Borrowing the light from the lake, everyone finally saw clearly what the monster in the lake was. It was actually an incomparably huge serpent.
After the monster turned its head, its nose twitched and it seemed to have gone crazy. It directly left Li San and the rest in the water and shot towards Lin Bai and the rest like a sharp arrow. Its target was shockingly Ninth Master Qin.
"Hahaha …" Seeing the movements of the giant snake in the water and the light on the lakeside, Li San's crazed laughter came from the lake all of a sudden, and he said with incomparable joy: "Old Qin Jiu, I beg you to help me. If you don't help me, I'm afraid you'll end up like this monster in its stomach!"
"Lin Bai, you wouldn't have expected yourself to have such a day, right?" At the same time, another sinister voice suddenly sounded out from within the lake. That voice was extremely familiar, and after a brief flash of telepathic thoughts, Lin Bai immediately recognized that it was Fu Chengguang.
Listening to the two of them gloating, Lin Bai mentally paid his respects to each of the eighteen generations of his ancestors. At the same time, the huge snake in the water had already charged towards the group, bringing with it a burst of colorful water traces.
