C3 Meet the Tomb Master
Wang Chuan carried Xia Mingyu on his back and walked several tombs with Hee Nai before meeting their master. The man was dressed in casual clothes and was fighting with a few zombies. Hee Nai immediately joined the fight and swung his bone whip.
Wang Chuan placed Xia Mingyu against the wall and joined the fight. The three and four of them were fighting fiercely, but they did not know that Xia Mingyu was dragged into the secret door by a black-furred claw.

When Xia Mingyu woke up again, the top of his head and the surrounding stone walls looked like they were covered with blue stars, shining brightly. His head was still a little dizzy, and he vaguely knew that he had been saved. But how did he get to this place?
He barely managed to stand up. In the huge tomb chamber, excluding the starlight, There was only a black circular stone platform in the middle with a diameter of about two meters. The stone platform was isolated in the circular water tank. The surface of the water was emitting a faint red light, which was very strange.
Xia Mingyu moved closer and took a closer look. The round stone platform was split into two by an "S" shaped intrinsically, forming an Eight Trigrams diagram. There were palm sized circular dents on both sides. It seemed like something had to be placed in order to open it. He didn't know if it was the way out or not. . . .
Xia Mingyu walked around the stone platform a few times. He did not see anything else similar to a ball, so he looked at other places. The wall that was covered in starlight was made of luminous pearls, but they were of different sizes. Xia Mingyu was dazzled by them. There were so many luminous pearls. He had to find the two most suitable pearls. It was really difficult.
After that, just as Xia Mingyu was about to pick up the Night-Luminescent Pearls on the wall, the ground under his feet suddenly shook. On one side, the blue snake jumped up, and on the other side, a blue and green two-tailed black cat with beast eyes appeared.
Xia Mingyu quickly retreated back to the stone platform. Seeing that the blue snake was in awe of the stone platform, this could be considered a good safe zone, but he did not know how safe it was. . .
The blue snake and the black cat were biting each other. The tomb chamber was filled with the sounds of cats and snakes. Xia Mingyu covered his ears and curled up on the stone platform. The blue snake's snake tail swept across the wall and knocked down quite a number of luminous pearls. A few of them rolled to the side of the ring-shaped sink. Xia Mingyu watched the two beasts fight and did not have time to care about him. He quietly went down the stone platform to pick them up.
He put the luminous pearls in the dent, but it was either big or small. Xia Mingyu was conflicted, but it was also not that easy to let him find just the right size.
The black cat and the blue snake were still biting each other. The blue snake swung its tail, and the black cat was hit. It crashed into the wall and howled in pain. The blue snake quickly went over, opened its bloody mouth, and was about to swallow the black cat alive. Xia Mingyu quickly threw the Night Pearl in his hand over and hit the blue snake's body.
The blue snake turned its head and stared at Xia Mingyu with a ferocious gaze. It made him feel scared, but in such a short period of time. . . The black cat had already recovered. It jumped up and clawed. It fiercely scratched the blue snake's face. One of the snake's eyes was cut open. The blue snake rolled on the ground in pain. The black cat showed no mercy. It laid on the blue snake's face and bit and scratched, removing quite a few of the hard scales.
"Bite seven inches!" Xia Mingyu threw another luminous pearl at the blue snake. At the same time, he shouted, but the black cat ignored him. Only then did he realize that the other party was just a cat. How could he understand what seven inches was? However, seeing that the blue snake was tightly suppressed by the black cat, Xia Mingyu was not that afraid anymore. He ran down from the stone platform and hugged the rolling snake. He fiercely smashed at the seven-inch snake's body and threw the Night Pearl in his hand into the snake's body with all his strength.
The blue snake opened its mouth to bite him. He let go and rolled on the ground. The blue snake did not bite him, but threw the black cat down. However, the blue snake did not dare to attack the black cat and Xia Mingyu immediately. It only looked at the man and the cat maliciously, then turned around and went into the hole that they had come out of.
Xia Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief. Just as he wanted to thank the black cat, he saw the cat staring at him. It was half squinting its beast eyes as if it was smiling. It was still that kind of cold smile. Xia Mingyu shivered. It was over. He had forgotten that the snake could eat people. The cat in front of him might not be beneficial to him either.
Before he threw away the Night Pearl of the blue snake, Xia Mingyu looked at the black cat pacing around him. He decided that if it pounced on him, he would use the Night Pearl to smash it to death.
"Meow. " The black cat suddenly cried out. It squatted down and licked its claws. It could see that there was blood on its claws. Xia Mingyu did not know if it was from the blue snake or its own. Xia Mingyu's heart softened. He was not that afraid anymore. It was also true. It was just a black cat. Could it eat him?
When he completely relaxed, he only felt pain in his left shoulder. Only then did he remember that he had been bitten by the blue snake. Fortunately, it did not seem to be poisonous. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. To be able to live until now, he was truly lucky.
"Meow. " The black cat suddenly came closer. Xia Mingyu looked at it nervously, but it only ran to his thigh and placed its front paw on his chest. It raised its head and licked the area where he was injured. The half of the shirt that Hee Nai used to bandage was already soaked in blood. The black cat licked it, not wanting to continue.
There seemed to be no major harm. . . Xia Mingyu reached out and touched the black cat. The cat's fur was very soft, even though he did not know why there was a cat in the tomb. But when he thought about how there were even zombies. . . What was so special about cats?
Xia Mingyu picked up the black cat and faced it face to face. "Do you know how to get out? I want to leave this place. "
"Meow. " The black cat called out. After struggling for a while, Xia Mingyu let go of his hand and looked at the night pearl on the wall curiously. He saw the black cat jump up and lie on the wall. Xia Mingyu watched in shock as it walked on the wall as if it was walking on flat ground.
The black cat climbed to the top of the wall and pulled it up towards the stone platform. Xia Mingyu saw many Night Pearls falling from the sky and falling to the ground. Xia Mingyu sighed. The quality of the Night Pearls was really good.
He picked up the Night Pearls on the ground and tried them one by one. Soon, he found the two most suitable ones. It was strange that even if the two Night Pearls were placed in the dent, there seemed to be no change.
"Uh, could it be that it's not like that?" Xia Mingyu scratched the back of his head. He was very confused. The black cat jumped down from the sky. Suddenly, it stretched out its sharp claws at him, and Xia Mingyu subconsciously used his hands to block it. His palm was cut by the cat's claws and his blood fell. He slid along the "S" shaped groove in the middle of the stone platform, and with a "click," there was a clear sound. The stone platform began to turn and rise, and Xia Mingyu was so shocked that he retreated. He fell into the crimson water.
The stone platform rose about half a meter high and stopped. The groove in the middle suddenly split open and spread out in two sides. After that, it stopped moving. Xia Mingyu's clothes were not only stained with blood. He stood up. He saw the black cat, who had fallen to the side, leisurely licking its claws and clenching its fists. Please, can't you greet me before you attack? It scared him to death.
When Xia Mingyu approached the stone platform and looked again, he did not expect that it was not the way he had imagined, but a man lying in the crystal.
The man was wearing an ancient silver-white robe, and his three thousand black hair was tied up with a ribbon. His flawless skin was so fair that even women would be envious of him, let alone his pretty face, which was seventy percent handsome and thirty percent evil. His long eyelashes were slightly curled, and the perfect shape of his lips made people want to kiss him. Was this a person? Divine Immortal? Or a demon?
