Chapter 225

After saying that, she stepped into the hidden door first.

Feng Qianyue and Chu Er then led their team to follow.

The interior of the hidden door was quiet and secluded, with a faint woody scent in the air.

"This environment is great, there must be something good here." With the lights on, Chu Er finally grew bolder, puffed out his chest, and strode in.

Chapter 225

In underground tombs, only the main burial chamber and the large burial chamber usually contain relatively precious treasures.

When Xu Jintang and his group reached the underground passage, it was actually just outside the tomb. No matter how long they walked, they were just going in circles and would eventually return to the end.

After entering the hidden door, the group was finally inside the core area of the tomb.

"Watch out!" Feng Qianyue, who was scouting ahead, noticed something and suddenly shouted.

As soon as she finished speaking, various hidden weapons were launched from the walls on both sides of the road.

The hidden weapons came in various shapes and sizes, including darts, sharp blades, and all sorts of other cold weapons, each gleaming with a cold light.

Xu Jintang quickly entered battle mode, raising his hand to immediately activate his supernatural power.

The power of ice quickly covered the entire area, and the surrounding air temperature dropped accordingly.

Chu Er also shook off his previous unreliable state, his expression became serious, and he raised his hand to activate his supernatural power.

The hidden weapon attacks were dense and swift.

The sounds of clashing supernatural attacks rang out.

"There are too many hidden weapons, everyone be careful!" Feng Qianyue shouted.

Just as he finished speaking, several more darts flew towards him.

The attacks with hidden weapons continued unabated even after several rounds of refreshes.

More and more people are finding it hard to cope.

Several people who reacted slowly were even injured by the darts.

Xu Jintang realized something was wrong and immediately increased the activation of his ice power.

The incoming projectiles were intercepted and delayed in mid-air.

Immediately afterwards, she summoned Phantom Darts and hurled it at the opponent.

The dart, leaving afterimages, collided with the incoming projectile, bouncing back forcefully.

At the same time, frost spread outwards from Xu Jintang.

The air temperature dropped to an extreme low, freezing many of the projectiles in the air, which then fell to the ground.

The attention of many people around was drawn to it.

"This is... a domain-specific skill?"

"Don't just stand there, get started!"

Feng Qianyue and Chu Er were the first to react, and they both made their moves at the same time.

The other team members followed suit, and a massive surge of mental energy rapidly spread outwards.

The launching of the hidden weapons lasted for more than ten minutes before it ended.

When everyone stopped fighting, most of their mental energy had been depleted.

"Wow, there are so many traps and mechanisms here."

"Sigh, I wonder if there will be any more of these traps later."

"This hidden weapon may be poisoned. The injured person should immediately heal on the spot to expel the poison."

Xu Jintang raised his hand and swept it back, and the Phantom Darts that had fallen to the ground were all retrieved.

She bent down to where the hidden weapons had fallen, picked up one of them, and examined it closely.

The hidden weapon in my hand is shaped like a dart, with a very sharp blade and a faint dark black hue, clearly indicating that it has been poisoned.

Chu Er walked over, squatted down beside her, picked up the other hidden weapon, examined it for a moment, and then spoke up, "So many hidden weapons in one tomb, the tomb owner must be someone of considerable status and strength."

Xu Jintang nodded, tossed aside the dart in his hand, and said, "You guys rest first, I'll go scout ahead."

Chu Er frowned slightly. "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. Shall I go with you?"

"That works too." Xu Jintang didn't refuse; having more people around would always be safer.

After telling Feng Qianyue, Xu Jintang and Feng Qianyue immediately got up and set off.

After passing through the corridor filled with hidden weapons, the lights inside became increasingly bright and conspicuous.

After walking about 600 meters, a crystal coffin appeared in front of us.

The crystal coffin was exquisitely crafted, and it shone even brighter under the overhead lights.

"So this is the owner of the tomb." Chu Er approached with curiosity, circling around the crystal coffin and examining it closely.

Xu Jintang followed and walked to the crystal coffin.

She stopped at a certain spot, raised her hand and knocked on the coffin three times. After receiving no response, she finally spoke, "Shall we open it and take a look?"

Chu Er, fearless and undeterred, immediately rolled up his sleeves and said, "I'll do it."

A few seconds later, the crystal coffin lid was lifted.

A skeletal skeleton, its flesh already decayed, came into view.

Apart from that, there was only a palm-sized token inside the coffin.

Chu Er bent down, picked up the token, and handed it over. "This should be the token that controls the mechanism in this tomb chamber."

After taking the token, Xu Jintang looked around and said, "I'll go see if there's a mechanism to place the token."

"Together."

The two immediately turned around and began searching in different directions.

The tomb chamber was square, roughly the size of a basketball court, with a crystal coffin placed in the center and a constantly lit crystal chandelier hanging directly above it.

Xu Jintang began circling along the left side, searching for the mechanism.

The walls of the tomb chamber were made of stone bricks and tiles, which were hard and sturdy. It was difficult to leave a mark even if an ordinary sharp blade was used to cut them.

Xu Jintang would bend down and tap the wall every now and then.

All the sounds were solid, until at a certain point, the knocking on the wall became hollow and muffled.

She stopped and bent down to knock twice more.

After confirming that the wall was hollow, he immediately raised his hand to concentrate his mental energy.

A devastating burst of power erupted from his palm.

The stone brick walls collapsed instantly, revealing a hollow mechanism inside.

Hearing the commotion, Chu Er ran over from the opposite side.

"What's wrong?"

"The wall was hollow; I broke it open," Xu Jintang said succinctly, then bent down and stepped inside.

Inside the wall was a small, secret room.

Inside were various treasure chests, clearly the most precious burial goods in this tomb.

"Holy crap! There are so many high-level magical artifacts and rare metals here." Chu Er casually opened a box, and the treasures inside made him exclaim in surprise.

Xu Jintang also opened a treasure chest at random. The chest contained some rare spiritual herbs that were still planted in pots.

The soil inside the pot is rich in spiritual energy, making it ideal for the growth of spiritual herbs.

"The supplies here are really good. You stay here and guard this place, I'll go call the others over." Chu Er gave the instructions and quickly turned and ran back the way he came.

Xu Jintang stood guard, his gaze sweeping across the entire area. He roughly counted the number of treasure chests; there were twenty-five in total. These supplies alone were enough for all their teams to share.

She withdrew her gaze, pursed her lips, and looked down at the mechanism token in her hand.

So what is the purpose of this mechanism token?

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jintang began searching for clues around him again.

The walls inside the secret room are solid, so there can't possibly be a second secret room.

After searching around without finding anything, Xu Jintang's attention began to shift elsewhere.

If there are tokens, then there must be places where tokens are needed.

Moreover, this token was buried with the remains, which shows its importance.

Thinking about this, Xu Jintang suddenly remembered something.

She turned and walked toward the crystal coffin placed in the central hall.

Upon reaching the vicinity of the coffin, they immediately stopped.

Xu Jintang took out the token and stuck it to the crystal coffin. Only two seconds later, a blinding light burst out from the crystal coffin.

The token seemed to melt as if it had been baked, and quickly merged into the coffin.

The light emanating from the crystal coffin was even more dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, the entire tomb chamber began to shake.

Xu Jintang had no choice but to hold onto the crystal coffin to avoid stumbling and falling.

"The tomb is about to collapse, get out quickly!" The tremors in the tomb caught the attention of the Thunder Dragon King, who suddenly spoke up to warn him.

Xu Jintang was stunned for a moment before realizing that the mechanism token directly caused the entire secret chamber to self-destruct.

Once she came to her senses, she didn't have time to think anymore. She immediately turned around and rushed into the secret room, quickly taking away all the treasure chests inside.

The shaking intensified, so Xu Jintang had no choice but to quicken his pace.

"There's an emergency exit to the northwest," Thunder Dragon King continued to remind him.

Xu Jintang looked up and glanced towards the northwest entrance, only to see that a hidden exit had been triggered at some point above.

Xu Jintang quickly turned around and rushed towards the exit.

Just as the tomb was about to collapse, Xu Jintang darted out of it.

"Have Chu Er and the others come out yet?" Only after escaping safely did Xu Jintang remember that there were still members of the main force.

Thunder Dragon King: "They're out. Before the tomb collapsed, all the emergency exits were opened, and they escaped through the other exit."

Xu Jintang felt slightly relieved.

"Seventy-two hours remain until the Tongbao Spirit Realm closes. The entire Spirit Realm map will soon be unlocked. Seventy-two hours remain until the Tongbao Spirit Realm closes..."

As soon as it appeared, a notification sound rang out from the horizon.

Subsequently, a real-time coordinate map of the Tongbao Spirit Realm popped into the minds of everyone still remaining in the Spirit Realm.

"Holy crap, there are still so many treasure spots that haven't been unlocked."

"There are only 72 hours left. We probably won't have enough time to find all these treasure locations."

Let's go for the big treasure spots first.

Xu Jintang snapped out of her daze and looked up at the horizon.

With only 72 hours remaining, everyone now has a real-time coordinate map of the Tongbao Spirit Realm, and the competition will only intensify in the future.

This is a difficult situation.

At this moment, the area outside the Spirit Realm was in complete chaos.

Most of the members of the five military academies' regular and reserve teams were inexplicably ambushed and seriously injured.

There is only one month left before the start of the Military Academy League.

Inside the conference room of the Leikdasi Military Academy.
