"Sir, isn't this going a bit too far?"
Looking at the thick city wall that rose a hundred feet high around him, Brother Zheng's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he didn't know how to even begin to complain.
They had arrived at the entrance to the so-called Tomb of Chiyou. To make it look like a proper tomb, they naturally sent troops to guard the entrance to avoid arousing suspicion from the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the six kingdoms who had been lured there.
But the scale of this Mr. Wang Hao's actions is far too ruthless!
They directly used the underground rocks to create a city wall that was a hundred feet high and ten feet thick, and there were 100,000 troops stationed on top of the city wall. They also set up countless war machines made by the Gongshu Clan, plus tens of thousands of Net Trap and Shadow Guards experts.
Even if all the masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought came together, they probably wouldn't fare well.
The problem is that their ultimate goal is to lure the people of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the Six Kingdoms to the Tomb of Chiyou, in order to obtain the so-called Chiyou's Inheritance and strengthen the power of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the Six Kingdoms.
Then his Great Qin could use the six states to hone its sword and prepare for the final Great Destruction of the world.
Otherwise, given the current state of the six states, even without Mr. Wang Hao's assistance, the accumulated resources of the six generations of Great Qin emperors would have been enough to wipe them out, leaving them no chance to even be tested.
It seems that Mr. Wang Hao has really gone too far!
"Don't worry, we have the Gongshu Clan's help on our side, and the other side also has experts from the Mohist School. Besides, when it comes to digging tunnels, the Mohist School family are the real professionals."
Wang Hao replied with a smile, while also giving Gongshu Chou a wink.
"What the Grand Preceptor says is quite true. Although I am reluctant to admit it, the Mohist School does indeed have unique expertise in wooden and stone mechanisms."
Gongshu Chou respectfully echoed.
Although the Gongshu Clan's foundation has increased countless times and they no longer take their former mortal enemy, the Mohist School, seriously, they are indeed Mohist School to the Gongshu Clan in some aspects, such as their burrowing skills, which are as inept as those of Nezumi.
"Do the Mohist School possess such abilities?"
Raising an eyebrow, Ying Zheng knocked on the parapet beside him, receiving a heavy metallic clang. The unusual color of the metal indicated that it contained a large amount of copper ore.
In other words, there are copper veins deep underground here, and drilling into copper veins is extremely difficult.
Although he didn't know much about this, he still understood basic common sense.
"I suppose so!"
Wang Hao was also somewhat uncertain at this point. After all, he didn't know much about the Mohist School in this world. At most, he knew some things from the Legend of Qin anime and Gongshu Chou. He wasn't sure if the Mohist School could carve a tunnel through this copper vein.
"Never mind, let's go down and get ready."
Shaking his head, Wang Hao decided to stop thinking about it and led the group toward the entrance to Tomb of Chiyou below.
"I also want to see your skills, sir!"
Brother Zheng also became interested and followed Wang Hao into Tomb of Chiyou. Zhao Gao and the others followed closely behind, while the rest stayed behind to guard against attacks from the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the six kingdoms.
"You all need to be careful and not touch anything here. Although the traps here aren't particularly dangerous, the things sealed here are not to be underestimated... What are you doing?"
As Wang Hao walked ahead, he reminded the others.
To properly construct Tomb of Chiyou, he devoted himself to it for three whole months, traveling all over the world to collect materials and exhausting his efforts to finally make the Tomb of Chiyou look quite presentable.
Here are seven ancient and rugged bronze coffins, known as the Seven Star Decoy Coffins.
That's right, this setting comes from the famous the Lost Tomb, a Great God book in the world of tomb raiding.
He couldn't create the kind of zongzi (rice dumplings) from the world of the Lost Tomb, but he could create similar evil objects, which he sealed in these seven bronze coffins arranged in the formation of the Big Dipper.
Therefore, these seven ancient bronze coffins must not be touched under any circumstances.
But before he could finish speaking, Yan Lingji curiously pushed open one of the ancient bronze coffins.
"Roar!"
A chilling roar resounded, and thick black mist poured out from the cracks of the bronze coffin. Then, with a loud bang, the bronze coffin lid, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, flew off, and a ferocious humanoid figure leaped out from inside, rushing straight towards Yan Lingji was standing nearby.
This ferocious figure was none other than the "Zongzi" (a type of rice dumpling) that Wang Hao had created. Its strength was comparable to that of Mortal Realm Peak expert, especially since its body was impervious to blades and spears, and immune to water and fire, making it absolutely powerful.
Unfortunately, this knock-off rice dumpling ran into the overpowered Yan Lingji.
Before the counterfeit rice dumpling could fall to the ground, a flame was unleashed, and in an instant, the counterfeit rice dumpling, which was capable of contending with Mortal Realm Peak expert, let out a mournful roar and turned to ashes.
"It's not that great!"
She patted her fair, white hands and said disdainfully, her pregnant belly Yan Lingji.
This kind of stuff isn't even good enough to warm up for her.
Ying Zheng and the others were utterly speechless as they watched the monster, comparable to an unparalleled powerhouse like Eastern Emperor Taiyi, being so easily defeated by Yan Lingji, and seeing her disdainful expression.
"This was prepared for the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the Six Kingdoms. Why are you even using it? Besides, shouldn't a girl like you scream in terror when she sees such a terrifying monster?"
Wang Hao couldn't help but complain; this was completely different from what he had expected!
"Tch! I've spent quite a bit of time with Corpse-Driving Demon; I'm used to this kind of thing!"
Yan Lingji maintained her disdainful demeanor, but her shapely legs, hidden beneath her skirt, trembled slightly.
Honestly, the corpses conjured up by the Corpse-Driving Demon were more disgusting than truly terrifying or powerful.
She was almost scared just now, and that attack was just an instinctive reaction after cultivating the Zhurong Divine Instruction; otherwise, she would definitely have been pounced on by that monster.
"You're ruthless, okay!"
Rolling his eyes in frustration, Wang Hao gestured to Zhao Gao, who was standing next to Brother Zheng.
Zhao Gao understood and, following the plan Wang Hao had already instructed, sent dozens of men from his own ranks to fight. In the end, Wang Hao controlled the counterfeit zombies in the Seven Star Decoy Coffins to come out and capture those people. A series of crunching sounds came from the bronze coffin, which, combined with the eerie and bloody scene around them, made it even more terrifying.
These people are all death row inmates who have committed serious crimes. They are either rapists or murderers who have killed countless people. They absolutely deserve to die, and it wouldn't be a pity if they died a hundred times.
To make the Tomb of Chiyou more realistic, he specially asked Brother Zheng to extract a group of death row inmates from the death row to set up the scene.
After all, it would be too suspicious if they fought to the end without losing a single person against something like the Tomb of Chiyou.
Wang Hao couldn't bear to let his own soldiers sacrifice themselves, so he had to use these scoundrels as substitutes.
These death row inmates were all drugged and their minds were clouded, leaving them to cooperate like zombies.
Wang Hao designed a total of eighty-one such scenarios, each containing different evil entities, which also served as a good opportunity to deal with the scum of death row inmates in the Great Qin prison.
This can be considered a form of waste utilization.
Although it seems cruel, there's no need to talk about mercy or righteousness when facing these despicable people. Otherwise, how can those who have been persecuted by these scumbags rest in peace?
Ying Zheng and the others were not soft-hearted people, so they didn't care about this situation at all. Instead, they were very curious about the counterfeit rice dumplings sealed in the bronze coffin.
Left with no other choice, Wang Hao could only pull out a knock-off version of a rice dumpling from an ancient bronze coffin for everyone to admire.
Following this pattern of stopping and starting, Wang Hao led the Great Qin's high-ranking officials on a tour, including Brother Zheng, and faked their way to their final destination—a man-made lava cave hundreds of miles underground.
Along the way, Ying Zheng and his companions were truly amazed by the sights they encountered, including countless evil creatures such as tentacle monsters and bloodthirsty vines, none of which they could name.
Although they were thrilled, everyone was also quite frightened. Even the Corpse-Driving Demon, who dealt with corpses all year round, was pale and his legs were trembling slightly.
Those evil creatures were truly terrifying. There was even a time when he was almost ambushed and killed by an evil creature called the Xenomorph. Fortunately, Wang Hao intervened at the critical moment, otherwise he would have been seriously injured even if he hadn't died.
Compared to this Grand Preceptor, his petty tricks are utterly insignificant.
"It's so comfortable here!"
Upon entering the lava cave and feeling the fire elemental power surrounding Nong Yu, Yan Lingji couldn't help but close her beautiful eyes comfortably. The Zhurong Divine Instruction within her body also started circulating spontaneously, and even the little one in her belly was unusually active, clearly enjoying the environment as well.
However, the others were not so happy.
After all, this was a real lava zone, and the scorching heat was unbearable even for those of them who were all quite powerful.
In particular, the three thousand- Scourge Legion led by the Corpse-Driving Demon did not dare to approach and were left to guard the entrance and exit.
"The Imperial Advisor is truly generous!"
Gongshu Chou, who had insulated himself inside a metal can, scanned the lava cave environment through a crystal shard and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement. The others nodded in agreement.
They knew that everything here was not the ancient Tomb of Chiyou, but rather something created by the Grand Preceptor, including those evil creatures from before.
The lava cave before us is also a masterpiece of this Grand Preceptor; it's truly divine skill!
This lava cave took Wang Hao a great deal of effort to create. He used earth-attribute magic to excavate here for a full month, creating an underground space that spans a hundred miles in radius. Below it is a huge pool of lava, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.
That wasn't all. Wang Hao also added a large amount of fire-attribute divine power to the lava pool, forming an array to draw in a large amount of fire elemental power and gather it into the lava below.
Even a powerful expert at the Heaven Realm would be severely injured if they fell into the lava below, even if they didn't die.
In addition, he also sealed a large number of fire elemental creatures in the lava pool below, in which they could exert strength comparable to those of the Heaven Realm.
Of course, to ensure that the experts from the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the six kingdoms did not return empty-handed, he confined these fire elementals to the lava pool, preventing them from escaping.
Although it would still be difficult to break through the fire elementals' obstruction, at least there was a possibility. It was believed that as long as the experts from the Hundred Schools of Thought and the royal families of the six kingdoms united as one, with their resources, it would still be very likely that they could get through here.
What Wang Hao and the others didn't know was that the philosophers of the Hundred Schools of Thought were currently struggling to dig a tunnel, and they were doing so by hand.
Unfortunately, they hadn't expected that there was a copper vein underground. Although the Mohist School's tunneling mechanisms were powerful, they couldn't break through it in one go and broke down halfway through.
Left with no other choice, they had to take matters into their own hands.
The poor masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought were unaware that Wang Hao had already gone mad and prepared eighty-one dishes for them, and it was unknown how many of them would actually survive to leave this place.
