Boom!!
Boom!!
Two deafening blasts!
This time, the grenades exploded inside the Flood Dragon Serpent's body, where its impenetrable hide could no longer protect it.
The explosions tore a massive, bloody hole straight through its belly.
The pain sent it rolling and writhing wildly again.
Blood splattered all over the passage.
Even chunks of organs and intestines were flung out.
The place became a living hell of blood.
"Young Master Gu! Beautifully done!"
Fatty Wang shouted, his voice brimming with excitement.
The Flood Dragon Serpent was frightened.
It wanted to flee.
But the passage was narrow, and its hulking body made turning around almost impossible.
This was a T-shaped passage.
All it could do was endure the agony and flee down the other branch.
"The little bastard's making a run for it!"
Fatty Wang cried out.
"We can't let it get away, or we'll never hear the end of it!"
Hu Bayi struggled up from the ground, furious.
He was worried about the villagers of Ganggang Yingzi.
Gu Cheng also felt they should finish it off while it was wounded.
He had already decided to visit Empress Dowager Xiao's Tomb.
If they let this little bastard escape today, it would recover from its injuries and become a major problem later.
"After it!!"
Gu Cheng shouted.
Then he took the lead and gave chase.
Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang followed him.
The Flood Dragon Serpent rampaged through the maze-like passages as though it had gone mad. The slightest scrape cracked the walls, and a single lash of its tail punched holes through them.
It was practically a heavy-duty demolition machine.
A heavy-duty demolition machine with a raging case of mania, at that.
For the moment, none of the three dared get close. They could only trail behind it.
"What do we do? We can't get anywhere near it."
"Exactly. This thing won't settle down for a second."
"Should we just wait for it to bleed out?"
"How long would that take? With a body that big, how much blood must it have?"
"We still need to come up with something!"
"By the way, Young Master Gu, what's the story behind this axe? How can it be so powerful?!"
"Yeah, Young Master Gu, that dagger of yours must be something special too, right?!"
"I'll explain everything once we're back. For now, just remember that axe is an extraordinary weapon worth a fortune. Whatever you do, don't lose it."
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of it."
"Hey, hold on. What do you mean by that, Old Hu? That's my axe. What's this about you taking good care of it?"
"An axe doesn't suit you. It doesn't match your style. I think you look much cooler with a gun."
"Cut the crap! Don't even think about it, Old Hu. Young Master Gu gave that axe to me."
"When did Young Master Gu ever say it was yours? Besides, the axe belongs to Yingzi. Why don't we ask her later and see who she wants to give it to?"
"...Old Hu, when the hell did you become so shameless?"
Rumble.
Suddenly, the sound of a collapsing wall came from ahead.
Who knew what it had smashed down this time?
The three followed it.
To their astonishment, they found that the Flood Dragon Serpent had demolished a section of the passage wall.
Then it had actually crawled through the wall.
Clearly, there was an open space on the other side.
They hurried over.
Gu Cheng was stunned.
No way.
Did it just stumble into the Jin General's Tomb?!
He cautiously ran over to take a look.
Gu Cheng immediately covered his face.
It was pitch-black beyond the wall, and he couldn't make anything out.
But by the light from the passage, he could vaguely see a pile of jars and bottles beside the opening.
Unless he was mistaken.
That had to be the Jin General's Tomb.
"What the hell is this supposed to be?!"
Gu Cheng was rather speechless.
Now he understood what it meant to labor over something and get nowhere, only to succeed without even trying.
"What's that place over there?"
"Looks like a storeroom."
"Where did that little bastard go?"
"It's too dark. We can't go in. It could be dangerous."
Gu Cheng thought for a moment, then said, "Stand guard here. I'll go get some diesel."
He turned and went back to the Power Room.
He found two small fuel cans, filled both with diesel, and carried them back.
First, he took off a piece of clothing, soaked it in diesel, lit it, and threw it inside.
They could now see that the space beyond the wall was a side chamber.
It held numerous sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, along with plenty of pottery jars and porcelain.
"Antiques?!"
Fatty Wang's eyes instantly lit up!
Hu Bayi's mouth also fell open in surprise. "This is the side chamber of an ancient tomb?!"
Gu Cheng didn't look anywhere else. Instead, he watched the side chamber's exit warily.
"Throw the fuel can over there!"
Together, Hu Bayi and Fatty Wang hurled the fuel can out of the side chamber.
Then Hu Bayi shot it.
In an instant.
The fuel can exploded.
It burst into a shower of fire.
Flames scattered everywhere.
By the firelight, they could finally make out the main burial chamber beyond the side chamber.
The burial chamber was spacious, tall, and broad, with a circular shape somewhat like a yurt.
A round platform stood in the center.
Although Gu Cheng had seen it on television, being there in person still left him awestruck.
If he remembered correctly.
The general's coffin and outer casket were beneath that platform, but they would need to activate a mechanism to reach them.
At the same time.
They also spotted the little bastard.
It seemed badly injured. Its body was coiled into a heap, and its cold eyes glared viciously at them. What shocked Gu Cheng was that he could actually see hatred in those eyes.
"This damn snake really has become a spirit!"
Just as they were thinking about how to get rid of this enormous problem.
Suddenly.
Something unexpected happened.
