Chapter Thirteen

At that moment, Hu Bayi also noticed the Western Regions Fire Dragon Glazed Top overhead.

"When you come in, be careful. And whatever you do, don't damage the tomb ceiling. It's rigged with a mechanism using the Western Regions Fire Dragon Glazed Top, so don't touch it." Hu Bayi made sure to warn them, in case Fatty and Yingzi didn't know how dangerous it was.

According to legend, the Western Regions Fire Dragon Glazed Top was made using a mechanism that relied on extremely flammable materials.

And if the materials inside came into contact with air, they would all burst into flames, and the fire couldn't be put out.

Having the Western Regions Fire Dragon Glazed Top right over their heads was damn dangerous.

So Hu Bayi also gestured to Hu Ming to keep an eye on Fatty. With Fatty's personality, it was easy for something to go wrong.

Hu Ming understood, so he stayed by Fatty's side.

Everyone searched the area for a long time but didn't find anything.

By now, they had seen nothing in the tomb but murals and a few carved ornaments. They hadn't seen a large coffin at all, which made them curious.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Fatty got an itch to touch something. He spotted two protruding blocks on the wall of the main tomb and pressed the one on the right.

Hu Ming, who had been keeping an eye on him, saw it happen but couldn't stop him in time. He couldn't help cursing, "You fucking idiot, Fatty!"

Hu Ming hadn't expected Fatty's hand to move so fast. No wonder they called it the hand of a man who'd been single for over thirty years. It had caught him completely off guard.

"Quick, get down!" Hu Ming shouted. Hu Bayi, Fatty, and Yingzi immediately dropped to the ground.

Whoosh!...

Whoosh, whoosh!...

Corrosive poison and arrows shot out of the mechanisms from all directions, flying horizontally toward the opposite tomb wall and the ornaments inside the tomb.

Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss... The powerful corrosive liquid produced thick white smoke, which everyone watched in horror.

"Gasp!"

Hu Bayi looked as though he couldn't believe what Fatty had done. He yelled at him, "I told you, you damn idiot! Why the hell would you touch things for no reason? You almost got us all killed just now!

"And if Mingzi hadn't warned you in time, you'd be burned full of holes right now. You'd be on display here like a specimen!"

"I... I just wanted to..." Fatty knew he was in the wrong and was left speechless by Hu Bayi's scolding.

Hu Ming snapped, "Wanted to, my ass!" Then he turned to Yingzi and warned her, "Yingzi, keep an eye on Fatty from now on. If he acts up again, kick him hard and teach him a lesson!"

Raiding tombs was no joke. If Fatty kept acting like this, he could easily cause a serious disaster.

Yingzi promised, "Got it, Brother Ming. If that damn Fatty gets grabby again, I'll be the first to break his legs!"

Hearing this, Fatty said, "Hey! Yingzi, don't you think that's a little harsh?"

Yingzi ignored him and just gave a cold snort. Fatty didn't say anything else.

Fatty Wang knew they were only saying that and wouldn't actually lay a hand on him. Still, he knew he'd gone a bit too far just then.

At least everyone was safe.

At that moment, Hu Bayi looked at Hu Ming in puzzlement and said, "Mingzi, where do you think they put the big coffin? How come I still haven't found it? Could this be an empty tomb?"

When Old Hu said that, Fatty spat several times and snapped at Hu Bayi, "Hey, don't go calling it an empty tomb! We probably just need to trigger another mechanism."

Hu Ming glanced at Fatty in surprise, then said, "Fatty's right. This tomb chamber uses a lot of mechanisms, so the big coffin may be hidden somewhere."

He went on, "Everyone, stay behind cover. Fatty, press the block to the left of the one you just pressed."

"Sure!" Fatty replied.

The others took cover too. Fatty pressed the block and quickly dropped to the ground.

Just then, a stone door suddenly opened on the far side of the previously sealed main tomb chamber, revealing an inner tomb chamber to everyone.

Fatty was thrilled. "Hey, now that's interesting! I'm going to take a look!" With that, he ran inside first.

Hu Ming was at a loss for words. Had Fatty already forgotten what had just happened? Why was he rushing in again?

Still, Hu Ming let out a sigh of relief. He'd only picked a mechanism at random just now.

Hu Bayi walked over to Hu Ming and praised him. "Mingzi, impressive! You figured it out so easily."

Hu Ming replied a little sheepishly, "I'd spotted several mechanisms and thought I'd try them one by one. I didn't expect to pick the right one on my first try."

Fatty suddenly called out, "Hey, would you look at that! Old Hu, Mingzi, there's another tomb chamber in here, and there really is a big coffin! Get in here! There are dinosaur fossils in here! This guy sure knew how to collect things!"

Once inside, Fatty was so excited that it was as if green banknotes were flashing before his eyes.

Hearing him talk about dinosaur fossils, Hu Bayi didn't believe him. He went in to take a look, then sighed helplessly. "You really know nothing! Those aren't dinosaur fossils; they're burial horses. This is called a Sacrificial Horse Pit! You hopeless fool!"

Fatty didn't care. "Hey, who cares if they're dinosaur fossils? They're worth money, and that's what matters. Big Gold Tooth said that tombs usually don't have anything too shabby in them. Old Hu, dig them out!"

Hu Bayi snapped, "Bullshit! Dig them out for what? They aren't worth anything!"

Fatty still wouldn't give up. "Whether they're worth anything or not, we should ask our Brother Ming."

Hu Ming looked toward the Sacrificial Horse Pit. He spotted a pair of stirrups and a saddle among the remains. His eyes lit up, and he jumped into the pit to retrieve them.

Fatty couldn't help asking, "Mingzi, why'd you grab those filthy black things?"

Hu Ming smiled. "Nothing in particular. I just want to take them home as collectibles." Hu Bayi knew his younger brother well, and from that, he could tell these things were probably valuable treasures.

Fatty Wang said to Hu Ming, "What's there to collect about those? Come over here and look at all these bottles and jars. They're treasures! Let's hurry up and stuff as many as we can in our bags."

Hu Ming and Hu Bayi looked where he was pointing. There really were quite a few bottles and jars over there, so Hu Bayi and Yingzi went over to take a look.

Hu Ming quietly put the stirrups and the other items into his system space, then went over to look with Fatty and the others. He saw that most of the items were pottery.

Hu Ming examined them one by one. Of the more than twenty jars, only two were porcelain. He quietly put those into his system space first, afraid the porcelain might get smashed in the fight later.

When Hu Ming saw that the others had collected nearly everything, he walked around the coffin made of Golden Silk Nanmu, then said to Fatty and Hu Bayi, "Fatty, Old Hu, get ready to open the coffin."
