Congratulations, First Prize
"This should be it."
Lin Xie stopped at a certain spot, looked around, and finally a look of certainty appeared on his face.
He was still very confident in his memory.
"There aren't many people around; it's a good time to get to work."
With a soft voice, Lin Xie raised his hand and waved.
Brush.
Power surges.
The ground below remained completely still.
"Um?"
Lin Xie frowned.
How could that be?
It seems as if some force is protecting the ground here.
But that shouldn't be the case.
Brush.
They made another move.
It remains unchanged, just as before.
"Not good!"
Lin Xie's expression suddenly changed.
This imperial tomb has been turned into this state.
Logically speaking, if there was no obstruction on the ground to begin with, it's impossible for an obstruction to appear out of thin air.
But now it exists.
Swish, swish, swish.
Lin Xie unleashed several palm strikes in succession, landing in various locations around him.
Further away, a burst of mud erupted.
Soon, with the surrounding soil damaged, a clearly defined area stood out starkly.
Lin Xie stopped moving.
At this moment, the anxiety that had been hanging in the air finally subsided.
This place has probably already been taken by someone else!
How could this be? How is this possible?
Lin Xie found it utterly unbelievable.
Of all the places, I just happened to find this one.
It should be noted that the things Xu Tiancheng buried were all protected and could not be detected by exploration.
He was able to find it back then entirely by luck and nine parts hard work.
After all, he wasn't digging just one spot, but a whole area.
But now.
This obstructing force protected this area.
How precise!
"Could there be others like me?"
A thought flashed through Lin Xie's mind, and he was startled.
If that's the case...
"Call."
Lin Xie stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze back to the area beneath his feet.
Thinking about these things now is a complete waste of time.
Now, after going through so much trouble, I've finally made it back here.
But if there's even the slightest chance, how can we let someone else take it away?
Obviously not!
At that moment, Lin Xie took a deep breath, leaped into the air, and slammed towards the ground.
Boom!
A muffled sound, accompanied by a tremor in the ground, rang out in an instant.
The moment Lin Xie made his move, it instantly attracted attention from all directions.
Everyone else is digging too, but this is the only one making such a big commotion.
"That's not right."
With so many people paying attention, the problem was soon noticed.
"Such a commotion would normally cause even a mountain to crack, but there wasn't even any earth or rocks stirred up there. That doesn't make sense, does it?"
These words immediately struck many people as if they had received a wake-up call.
That makes sense.
"Shall we go take a look?"
Someone made the suggestion, and immediately a chorus of agreement followed.
In an instant, figures rushed towards Lin Xie's location.
"Sir."
A voice shouted:
Is there anything special about this place?
All eyes turned to Lin Xie, while simultaneously glancing down at the ground.
Several heavy, muffled thuds followed in succession.
But the ground here remains completely unharmed.
The surrounding cracks almost make it clear that "there is a secret here".
Lin Xi glanced at the people around her, her heart sinking.
If it weren't for self-preservation, he wouldn't have revealed the information about this imperial tomb.
However, because of this, news of the emperor's tomb became common knowledge, leaving him with no choice but to settle for second best.
However, the original plan was to only take this most important one.
As a result, due to interference, it has now become common knowledge.
It really is...
But he had to admit that, regardless of who was responsible for this place, its layout seemed to be beyond his current ability to easily break through.
Right now, everyone around seemed to be full of ideas.
"Instead of doing that, I'd rather have them do the work for me."
Upon realizing this, Lin Xie stopped what he was doing.
The next moment, his gaze swept over the crowd, and he nodded:
"There's something fishy about this place. I think there's probably something hidden here."
"But with my strength, I cannot break through this place. If any of you are willing, you may join me in the attack."
As they spoke, Lin Xie gave up the middle seat.
"Brother, you are an open and honest person."
As they were speaking, a figure leaped forward.
With someone taking the lead, more people joined in the effort.
Boom boom boom!
The muffled thuds from the ground were numerous and dense.
"I'll see who it is."
As he made his move, Lin Xie stared intently at the ground.
If the other party is still there, once this obstacle is removed, he will directly say that Xu Tiancheng's inheritance is in the other party's hands.
As long as the other party hasn't obtained the item underground, I still have a chance!
Deep underground.
The figure paused slightly, looked up, and then looked up:
"There should be enough time."
At this point, the opportune moment was not far off.
Swish, swish.
After another in-depth exploration...
Where the line ends.
A wooden box is vaguely visible.
Perhaps due to some protective force, the wooden box, though buried deep underground, did not appear dilapidated.
Brush.
The figure raised a hand.
A surge of power rolled up the wooden box.
"The Coin of Resurrection, I'd like to see what it looks like."
A figure moved softly, glancing at the wooden box.
On the surface of the wooden box, a line of text is engraved:
"Power infusion, now activated."
The figure pointed, and spiritual energy landed on the wooden box, then disappeared.
The wooden box remained completely still.
"Um?"
Another burst of spiritual energy was unleashed.
The wooden box absorbed water like a sponge, and the spiritual energy disappeared again, yet there was still no reaction.
"Not enough?"
The figure chuckled softly:
"That's interesting."
At that moment, spiritual energy surged like a rushing river, crashing onto the wooden box.
A breath later.
Smack
The wooden box is opened.
Brush.
A golden light suddenly burst forth from the wooden box, illuminating the space.
The figure narrowed its eyes slightly, trying to peer inside the wooden box.
Just then, a sound was heard.
Congratulations, you've won first prize!
"Um?"
The figure paused, startled.
Something about this commotion feels off.
First there was that dazzling golden light, and now this sudden appearance of the first prize—something just doesn't feel right.
At this moment, the contents of the wooden box came into view.
To be precise, only the interior of the wooden box was visible.
The wooden box was completely empty.
However, there was another line of text on the bottom inside the wooden box:
"Waiting for good news."
The figure's face suddenly darkened, and he slammed the wooden box to the ground, causing it to shatter. At the same time, he muttered angrily:
"Grass!"
It's no longer a mystery.
The situation is now very clear.
The goods have already been snapped up!
Moreover, it's self-evident who did all this.
If the opportunity has passed, his system will not display the opportunity line.
But until just now, the line of opportunity was still there.
Based on the information we already knew, there's no need to guess anymore.
It must be someone else with a system like itself, whom the system discovered before!
Even just looking at the golden light and the first prize...
The other person is very likely from the same hometown as me!
