Entering the Tomb Chamber

Hu Ming and the others were crouching, using their hunting knives to carefully tap the ground. They walked cautiously, tapping as they went. Not long after, Hu Bayi, who was in front, discovered that the spot where the rabbit had fallen earlier was emitting a hollow sound.

The same was true for a row of ground nearby. When they continued to tap the next row, it was also the same, emitting a hollow sound.

Hu Bayi found that the sand in this area, and further ahead, seemed much cleaner than before.

Seeing this change, Hu Ming also crouched down and, along with Hu Bayi, pried their hunting knives into the stone gap.

Creeeak!

The stone slab suddenly rotated and lifted open!

Hiss...

Hu Bayi and Hu Ming, the brothers, simultaneously gasped.

At this moment, Fatty, who was behind them, also came closer and asked, "Old Hu, what's up?"

He then peered down at the stone slab and exclaimed in horror, "Damn, how could this guy be so cruel!"

Fatty saw that the space below was filled with many sharp bamboo stakes, and the rabbit from before had already been impaled by them, dead beyond death. However, Hu Bayi's bottle was still there.

Hu Ming had once heard his maternal grandfather say that this type of mechanism was called the Ten Thousand Spikes Heart Piercing Formation, commonly known as a one-way trap. Once you fell in, you were certain to die. Even immortals couldn't save you.

Hu Bayi, standing nearby, said with some relief, "Fortunately, these mechanisms were triggered by the rabbit. Otherwise, if we had stepped on them, it would have been a near-certain death for us."

Now, in this tomb passage, there were still many such trapdoors. If one was not careful and stepped on them, the moment they received external force, they would immediately rotate and flip open.

The person who stepped on the mechanism would immediately fall and be impaled by the sharp objects, dying instantly...

Fatty looked at the dense array of sharp stakes in the pit below, which sent a shiver down his spine, a stinging sensation.

Fatty couldn't help but say, "Damn, how terrible would it be to get impaled by this."

Hu Ming said with a solemn expression, "Actually, if you were impaled, not only would it be unlucky, but these stakes are also coated with a crimson toxin. I suspect it's highly poisonous! Even if you were lucky enough not to be killed by the stakes, you would likely die from the potent poison."

Hearing Hu Bayi and Hu Ming's words, Fatty no longer wanted to stay there and urged them to leave.

Fatty said nervously, "Mingzi, let's go quickly!"

Yingzi, behind him, also urged, "Brother Hu, Brother Ming, let's go quickly!"

"I don't know why, but I have a feeling this isn't a good place. It's best to leave quickly," Fatty said, wanting to enter the tomb chamber as soon as possible and get away from here. Fatty thought that perhaps the tomb chamber would be much safer than this place.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that at least one Zombie was silently waiting for their arrival in the tomb chamber.

In fact, even if Fatty hadn't spoken, Hu Ming would have wanted to leave.

"Let's go, we'll step over there!"

Hu Ming found a safe passage along the wall. It was narrow, just wide enough for one person to pass, and seemed to pose no danger.

Soon, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi walked over first. Upon reaching the safe area, Hu Ming and Hu Bayi began checking for potential mechanisms.

Soon, they confirmed it was safe! At this moment, Fatty and Yingzi also passed through one after another, heading to the safe zone.

As Fatty walked, he felt dizzy looking at the stakes below. He was about to fall.

"Damn!"

"Mingzi!"

Seeing Fatty's reaction, Hu Ming knew his acrophobia had kicked in. He immediately flashed to his side, extended his arm, grabbed Fatty, and pulled him over.

The scene just now was incredibly perilous!

Huff... huff...

At this moment, Fatty was gasping for air. If Hu Ming hadn't grabbed him, he would have joined the rabbit by now.

Compared to Fatty, Yingzi passed through very easily and reached the safe zone. Once on the safe zone, they were basically safe.

Seeing Yingzi safely pass through the Ten Thousand Spikes Heart Piercing Formation, Hu Bayi and Hu Ming suddenly acted in unison.

Then, they exchanged a nod and began searching for the mechanism to open the tomb door, preparing to enter the main tomb chamber.

Not long after, Hu Bayi suddenly called out to Hu Ming, "Mingzi, come look at this!"

At Hu Bayi's reminder, Hu Ming saw an imperceptible circle on the tomb wall on Hu Bayi's side, which seemed to be the mechanism for the tomb's stone door.

However, Hu Bayi and Hu Ming didn't act impulsively. They weren't afraid of accidents, but they were afraid of the unknown. If they pressed the wrong mechanism, it would be a big problem.

Finally, Hu Ming said, "Old Hu, you check here, and I'll check over there. Once we confirm there are no problems, we'll press the mechanism!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Hearing Hu Ming's suggestion, Hu Bayi agreed. They couldn't just wait here forever.

Seeing the decision of the two cousins, Yingzi and Fatty also helped, immediately turning around and beginning to check the changes in the tomb wall.

Soon, they gathered together. Hu Bayi looked at Hu Ming and said, "Mingzi, everything is fine on my side."

Fatty added, "It's fine on Yingzi's and my side too."

Hu Ming nodded, looking at Hu Bayi, Yingzi, and Fatty. "Alright, since there are no problems, let's activate it."

Everyone became nervous upon hearing this. As the mechanism was pressed, they heard the sound of it operating.

Now, everyone was extremely tense.

"Mingzi, look quickly!" At this moment, as the mechanism continued to operate, the previously sealed tomb stone door suddenly opened, kicking up a huge cloud of dust.

Fatty exclaimed excitedly, "It's open, it's open!"

Hu Bayi looked inside and said to everyone, "Let's go, let's go in and take a look." He then took the lead and entered the main tomb chamber, beginning to observe.

Hu Ming also noticed that directly above him was the legendary Western Regions Fire Dragon Glazed Top.
