Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 161 Prince Gu Mo's Bragging Painting

"Alright, I'll go down and take a look first. You guys prepare the ropes before you come down."

As for Anriman, you should hide under the broken wall to avoid being shot by those people when they come back.”

After giving his instructions, Ji Haobo ordered Yang Xueli to release the Dapu Ghost Insects to burn the three corpses before jumping into the well.

When he descended to a depth of more than ten meters, he saw a recessed hole in the well wall.

It's more than three meters away from the well water. The two stone doors are covered in black, decaying animal hides. However, they must have undergone special treatment, so they haven't peeled off even after the passage of time.

Ji Haobo tried pushing the stone door and found that there was no mechanism. Although it was a bit heavy, it opened slowly.

Come to think of it, since the people have already come all this way, setting up any more traps would be pointless and unnecessary.

As the stone door opened, a faint aura of yin energy and a musty smell wafted out, and suddenly a fire lit up inside.

Ji Haobo waited on the platform at the entrance for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. The people upstairs came down one after another, and the strange smell inside the tomb had mostly dissipated.

"Holy crap, is this really an ancient tomb? It looks more like the Imperial Guard's prison."

Looking around the more than 200 square meters of space in the tomb chamber, Wang Pangzi saw that apart from a circular altar that was more than a meter high in the middle, there were a large number of wooden stakes standing densely around it.

The wooden stakes were all bound with corpses, each one looking painful and grotesque.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Brutal, absolutely brutal. I don't know which bastard is so perverted, playing bondage art in his own grave."

The others ignored his rambling and looked around but found nothing unusual.

"Haobo, this doesn't seem to be a tomb, but a blood sacrifice site. The wrists and ankles of those corpses all have wounds from bleeding."

And the patterns on the ground are grooves where blood converges, eventually flowing all the way to the altar.”

"Yes, this is indeed a blood sacrifice site, but it's also an ancient tomb, only the burial chamber is hidden."

Ji Haobo frowned and looked at the altar. After searching around, he had not found the entrance to the underground chamber.

"Master Bo, you mean the mechanism is hidden on the altar? But I've checked it, and there's nothing unusual about it!"

Aside from the wooden stakes and corpses, the altar was the most conspicuous feature of this underground space.

After discovering there was no coffin, Lao Hu carefully tapped and knocked on it, but no mechanism was triggered.

Ji Haobo naturally saw his actions, so he also felt a little strange.

But after carefully examining the entire tomb, he made a discovery.

"There is indeed something wrong with the altar; you'll see when you go up and take a look."

The group jumped onto the altar out of curiosity and immediately understood the question he was asking.

From a high vantage point, the wooden stakes form an eye shape, with the altar positioned at the pupil.

"Boom..."

As the group stood on the altar, a sudden tremor arose around them.

The wooden stakes sank into the ground, and the corpses rose with eerie green flames, turning to ashes in the blink of an eye, leaving only a wisp of black smoke.

At the same time, the altar also spread outwards after the group jumped down, revealing a spiral hole more than two meters long that sucked all the black energy in.

"Damn, the owner of this tomb really knows how to stir up trouble, all this empty rhetoric and nonsense?"

Fatty Wang jumped down in a panic and almost twisted his ankle, so he immediately launched into a tirade of angry words.

"If you want to know, why don't you just go down and ask him?"

Seeing his angry and embarrassed expression, Ji Haobo jokingly walked towards the cave and went down the stone steps.

Although the secret chamber was not as large as the one above, it was not small either. In the middle was also an altar, on which sat a square coffin that was more than two meters tall.

Both the altar and the coffin are covered with a large number of strange rune carvings, but one thing stands out: the eye pattern.

Besides these, the secret room was surrounded by colorful murals.

"Damn, the tomb's occupant was a huge fat man! Judging by the size of the coffin, he probably weighed several hundred pounds."

Fatty Wang came down and stared at the coffin in amazement, while Old Hu next to him couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Didn't you ever consider that they were just a married couple buried together?"

"Uh…"

Fatty Wang gave an awkward, dry laugh; he really hadn't expected it to be like this.

Everyone was used to this guy's thought process and couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention. They went to the side to look at the memoirs.

The above naturally describes the heroic deeds of the tomb's occupant, basically the classic story of justice defeating evil.

To be fair, the drawing skills are very detailed; the image and expression of each character are drawn, making them incredibly lifelike.

The first act is roughly about Prince Gumo going to the Kingdom of Jingjue to pay tribute.

However, despite offering up a large amount of gold and silver jewelry, the Queen of Jingjue never even saw him; instead, a mere guard dismissed him.

The second act is about Prince Gu Mo, who is unwilling to accept defeat, so he carefully sneaks into the palace. As for what he's going to do, only he himself knows.

Anyway, this guy discovered a secret: he saw the Queen of Jingjue wearing a golden mask, her eyes flashing with a strange light, and she made a slave disappear into thin air.

In the third act, Prince Gu Mo returns to his country and secretly spreads rumors that Queen Jingjue is a monster.

They secretly united with those around them who had also succumbed to the fierce power of the Queen of Jingjue, preparing to form an alliance to defeat evil.

In the fourth act, there is a person dressed in strange clothes who is plotting something with Prince Gumo.

Next, he forged a short sword and coated it with a slow-acting poison, which didn't seem like an attempt to assassinate.

However, in the fifth act, Prince Gu Mo reappeared in that palace, and this time he was received by Queen Jingjue.

Because Prince Gumo not only presented countless treasures as tribute, but also a golden lamb.

To gain the trust of the Queen of Jingjue, he was a ruthless man who used a poisoned dagger to cut up the mutton and ate it first as a sign of respect.

The result was smooth. The Queen of Jingjue soon ran into trouble, so Prince Gumo led the allied forces of various countries to the ancient city of Jingjue.

But suddenly a black storm appeared, burying the allied forces and the ancient city of Jingjue under the yellow sand.

Prince Gu Mo naturally escaped, but his health also suffered.

Soon after, the person in the strange clothes reappeared, and the two seemed to have reached some kind of deal.

Anyway, Prince Gu Mo and his wife were buried here by that person.

After looking at all the murals, Yang Xueli frowned slightly as she stared at one particular scene, feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Haobo, this painting should depict the Queen of Jingjue. She could make slaves disappear with a single glance. Does such an ability really exist in the world?"

Although Hao Bo's methods are also inhuman, it's really too exaggerated that the Queen of Jingjue can make people disappear with just one glance.
