Lin Yi, Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, Pan Zi, and the newly joined Wang Feizi were wandering inside the tomb.

This was already below the Western Zhou tomb, the true resting place of King Lu Shang.

Wang Feizi revealed his background; he was also there to rob the tomb, and he was alone.

This surprised Wu Xie and the others a bit. Generally, those who acted alone had some skills; otherwise, they would have died in some tomb long ago.

They exchanged information and the situations they had encountered on their way, and it turned out their goals were the same: they were all heading for King Lu Shang's tomb.

Wang Feizi and Wu Xie got along quite well. After hearing Wu Xie's story about the corpse cave, Wang Feizi looked at the Three Pure Bells in Lin Yi's hand with envy and said, "If I had this divine tool, I could also show off! Damn, if anyone dares to blow out my candle, I'll make them kneel on the coffin board."

As he spoke, he wished he could take the Three Pure Bells from Lin Yi's hand and play with them.

Lin Yi, of course, wouldn't give them to him. He just smiled and shook his head. If it weren't for knowing that Wang Feizi had a decent character, he would have really considered his own safety with someone else.

A man without talent is not guilty, but a man with talent is!

Wang Feizi was from the Northern School of tomb raiders and claimed to be a descendant of the摸金校尉 (Mojin Xiaowei, the Tomb Raiders).

Before raiding a tomb, they would light a candle in a corner of the tomb chamber. If the candle went out during the treasure hunt, they had to retreat.

This was because it meant that the "zombies" in the tomb had blown out the candle to stop the tomb raiders from "stealing."

The group wandered in the tomb for a long time. It was a maze with many passages.

After an unknown period, Pan Zi called out, "There's light ahead!"

Everyone looked over and saw a cave entrance with a faint light.

This surprised everyone. After wandering for so long, they had reached the surface? This tomb maze was truly impressive!

They entered the cave one by one and saw a strange scene.

On the other side of the cave, there was a raised area where they could stand. Beyond that was a cliff. The drop was at least 15 meters, and the wind was very strong.

15 meters.

Lin Yi looked and thought that with his Golden Goose Technique, he could probably make it down if he used his full strength.

In front of the cliff was a large natural cave, about the size of a soccer field. A large crack in the cave ceiling let in moonlight, which outlined the entire cave.

Their current position was on the western wall of the cave, with no way to climb up or down.

The cave walls were also covered with thousands of holes, so dense that anyone with trypophobia would likely have an attack!

The most astonishing thing was a tree in the center of the cave, almost ten stories high and so thick that ten people might not be able to encircle it.

The tree was entangled with countless vines, which crisscrossed and wrapped around everything they could. Some hung from the tree like willow branches, some dangled in mid-air, and some had already reached the ground.

Some vines even extended into the holes in the cave walls, and wherever you looked, there were vines.

A few branches near where they stood also had some vines.

On some of the inner branches, there were some things hanging. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be dried corpses!

On a stone platform at the bottom of the natural cave, with about a dozen steps, there was a jade bed, and someone seemed to be lying on it!

The distance was too far to see anything clearly except the outline.

Wang Feizi was very excited and shouted, "Damn, I really found it! This must be the main tomb chamber! The body on that jade platform must be King Lu Shang's!

This old man Lu Shang is really wicked, robbing someone else's Western Zhou tomb and then making his own tomb!

Today, I, Fat Master, will enforce the will of heaven and deal with you, you unprofessional tomb raider, and show you the consequences of robbing tombs!"

Lin Yi was speechless, "Aren't you a tomb raider too? What good end can you have?"

Wu Xie, Xiao Ge, and Pan Zi also looked at Wang Feizi speechlessly. They were all tomb raiders.

At this moment, a voice came from one of the many holes in the cave wall, "Lin Zi?"

Wu Xie was delighted, "It's Uncle San!"

Uncle San also emerged from a hole, not far from where they were.

Uncle San looked at the ten-story-high tree and the dense branches and said, "Be careful, this is the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress. Any living thing that gets close will be attacked by its branches!"

"These branches can attack?"

Wang Feizi was surprised and playfully extended his foot to touch a branch near the cliff.

"Don't!" Uncle San immediately shouted.

Before he finished speaking, the branch, which had looked ordinary, suddenly rose like a snake. The end of it opened like a flower, resembling a ghost hand at first glance.

The thing rose there, seemingly sensing Wang Feizi's position.

As soon as Wang Feizi moved, it followed, swaying left and right like an Indian snake charmer.

Wang Feizi wasn't afraid. Whether it was his boldness or his lack of brains, he actually drew circles with his foot, teasing the open end of the branch.

Lin Yi thought about using the Three Pure Bells to see if they would work on the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress. Just as he was thinking this, the branch lunged forward and wrapped around Wang Feizi's foot.

Then the branch coiled and pulled Wang Feizi off the cliff.

Wu Xie saw this and tried to grab Wang Feizi, but he missed. At that moment, another branch appeared, coiled around Wu Xie's foot, and pulled him out as well.

Wu Xie and Wang Feizi swung like on a swing, being carried away by the two branches. As they swung, the other branches came to life and tried to wrap around them.

"Big Nephew!"

Uncle San shouted in alarm and called to Lin Yi, Xiao Ge, and Pan Zi, "We need to find a way down. The stones on the ground are Tianxin Rock, which can counter the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress. Get some stone dust, and you won't have to fear the Nine-Headed Snake Cypress!"

Lin Yi looked at Wu Xie and Wang Feizi being carried away and was speechless. He didn't dare use the Three Pure Bells now. If he shook them, the branches might all "shrink" back.

Wang Feizi and Wu Xie, hanging in mid-air, would fall to their deaths!

Xiao Ge said, "Use my blood to coat your body, and you can avoid these branches and get down."

Everyone was stunned.

Lin Yi thought, Xiao Ge's blood is a treasure. I should ask him for some when I have time. It can ward off evil!
