Chapter 585 - 379: Immortality and Dominating
Chapter 379
This guy wants to carry off the coffin!
"Well, that depends on whether you can make it back," both groups started brandishing their weapons!
The Fatty’s group also became alert on the sidelines.
Their combat strength was the weakest; they’d better not get caught in the crossfire...
Just as the battle was about to break out...
Clap, clap, clap, the sound of clapping suddenly rang out.
A person walked out from one of the passages, their origin unknown.
Two people followed behind him...
Oh, one should say, one person and one rice dumpling.
The expressions of everyone present varied...
"Second Master Gong!" The Fatty’s group exclaimed in shock!
Yhan Qingwu slightly frowned, while Mount Mover just shook his head and sighed...
"Long time no see, everyone, oh no, we were only separated for a little while~" Second Master Gong said with a smile, entirely different from his previous reticent, steady demeanor.
The current Second Master Gong was extremely sinister-looking.
Corpse Hover following behind was even more horrifying.
That skin looked like it had been peeled off, revealing disgusting flesh...
With these two accompanied by the Green-Haired Rice Dumplings, Mount Mover and the others instantly understood, and it was a complicated feeling.
It turns out that the person who hired them was simply leading them to their deaths~~
"Second Master, what you’re doing here isn’t very honorable, it’s not proper... What, do you still plan to join forces with that corpse-handling ferryman to bury us all?" Mount Mover was cunning; even now, he did not forget to involve the other three parties behind them.
"There are plenty of us here; it’s not up to you two and a rice dumpling to call the shots"
Second Master Gong laughed, and as he did...
Mount Mover felt a gun press against his temple.
"Xue the Skillful Hand, what are you doing!!"
Just as Skinny Waist shouted out, Boom!
Headshot!
Blood spurted out.
A member of the Palace Family had fired the gun.
Xue Miao, who had been reluctant to kill on the way, now had a cold smile on his lips as he smiled at Mount Mover, "Old man, it’s best if you don’t move~ Otherwise, my hand might slip, and your head will explode~"
"Of course, as an old man, I still want to live a few more years~~ So, young man, you’d better take it easy~"
Third Lady Yin and the others had been surrounded.
Guns were aimed at them from all directions, too close for comfort.
No matter how good their martial arts were, they might not be able to perfectly dodge these bullets...
Yhan Qingwu turned her head to look at the member of the Palace Family who had fired the gun, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Indeed, all of you are Second Master Gong’s men..."
Except for one... Xiao Qi.
Xiao Qi’s head was also held at gunpoint, his face incredibly ugly, "I knew you guys were up to no good. Those who died earlier were the true rescuers of Ninth Miss, while you... are all Second Master’s men."
"It’s too late to realize that now, Xiao Qi. That you didn’t die from Slice Scales was merely good luck; now... Heh heh~"
The Gong Family man chuckled, looking at Second Master Gong, "Second Master, how should we deal with these people?"
Second Master Gong was nonchalant as he looked at Yhan Qingwu, "Miss Yhan, you really didn’t need to get involved in this messy business. With the Tang Family and Tang Sect behind you, I truly didn’t want to kill you... Unfortunately, you came anyway, together with Sui Yi, and you’re quite clever. I think Sui Yi might have already guessed what’s going on, and you must know too~~ Pity, you’re too late... I’m simply curious, if you knew all along, why didn’t you expose it? What, do you find this amusing?"
He certainly didn’t want to think that these two young ladies were there to mock him.
That would really make him want to... ruthlessly destroy beauties!
Yhan Qingwu blinked slightly, "Maybe we wanted to know more. Besides, we didn’t expect Xue Miao to be your man; we only sensed something was off with the others."
"Oh? You figured that out too? Quite impressive..." Second Master Gong smiled, "But it’s useless now..."
His gaze drifted past Yhan Qingwu, towards the other three parties.
"Sorry, everyone, I was just catching up with some friends and took up some of your time..."
Wei Feng and the others, after listening to the previous conversation, also knew that Sui Yi and Yhan Qingwu had been set up.
But the Gong Family people...
They were quite a curiosity.
"Hey, I wager you wouldn’t happen to be part of the first group that came here, with the power to control zombies.. Jie jie, you fancy being a sparrow?" the foreigner said in a mocking tone...
Then many Chinese people glared at him, you ignorant fool! It’s Yellow Sparrow!
"Heh heh, this foreign friend jests... I just want to tell you all about what treasures lie inside this coffin," Second Master Gong said.
What!
All faces shifted slightly at the revelation.
The foreigner narrowed his eyes, "Well, then speak up, my dear friend~"
Wei Feng and the others actually had no clue about the treasures in the ancient tomb and were only following orders from above...
Second Master Gong didn’t beat around the bush, smiling faintly as he spoke to the expectant audience, "Immortality and Dominating."
Immortality and... Dominating?
——————
"You couldn’t be suggesting that inside the coffin lies an Elixir of Life, could you~" Nalan said, his tone seemingly laced with laughter.
Second Master Gong glanced at her and said indifferently, "Immortality is not a myth. All those things your Ghost Teeth superiors do, aren’t they also for Immortality? As for Dominating..."
He smirked, "In ancient times, Divine Warriors could move mountains and reclaim seas, omnipotent. I think there is not a single person here who doesn’t crave that terrifying power~"
This talk is getting creepier and creepier!
Yhan Qingwu sneered, "If such treasure truly existed, the tomb owner would have used it long ago. Why wait for us newcomers to enjoy it? Moreover, Second Master, you’ve engineered for so many years, yet today, you still want to use our power to fulfill your purpose?"
Her words resonated with some of the more rational people present.
Like Wei Feng, like Luo Xiuxian, those people...
Immortality, Dominating? Hah!
Second Master Gong was not at all annoyed, but just laughed, "I’m not asking for your opinions, just offering some advice. Of course, the coffin must be opened. If you don’t do it, I can do it myself..."
"Sorry, but this coffin already belongs to us," the foreigner said politely, then his impressively powerful subordinates impolitely aimed their guns at him...
"Really..." Second Master Gong smiled and whispered to Corpse Hover behind him, who then carefully took out a small water bottle from his bosom... and uncorked it..
Then suddenly flung it towards Yhan Qingwu and the others.
Bang!
The small water bottle hit the ground, rolling and pouring out some bloodied water...
Is it bloodied water?
Oh c’mon!
The smell was far more intense than a thousand jars of thousand-year-old stinky tofu. An offensive stench assaulted everyone, making them feel like retching, but their alertness kicked in, and they realized...
"It’s poison?!"
One by one, they covered their noses and backed away...
However, after a moment, there wasn’t much discomfort felt in their bodies, but rather...
"Hey, why do I feel like the ground is moving under my feet?"
The fatty muttered to himself, then suddenly saw the stone slab under his feet, it was clearly a stone slab, but it began to crack as though something sliced it open~~...
Rustling!
A large number of scorpions...
Black, each one as big as a palm...
Poured out of the cracks in the stone slab.
Meanwhile, Second Master Gong laughed ominously, "Miss Yhan was right about one thing, after plotting for decades, I am indeed too familiar with this ancient tomb... so familiar that it seems as if I had built it myself..."
"That’s why I know that beneath this main tomb, there’s a Scorpion nest... Below, there are scorpions with thousands of years of history, each one’s deadly venom could ensure an ordinary person dies with no place to be buried. As for you.. Maybe it takes two, or three..."
Crisis swept over everyone in an instant!
In that moment, they finally understood that within this ancient tomb, the deadliest were never the strongest outsiders, but the "insiders" who knew it well.
The very tomb itself was a massive killing device.
Invaders... Dead!
As for why Second Master Gong knew, it could be assumed he had witnessed it before, or suspected the Dragon Leading Plate in his hand. However, it’s no longer important; what matters is that Yhan Qingwu and the others have inevitably fallen into a terrifying death crisis.
Hundreds, thousands, and quickly increasing to tens of thousands, the swarm of scorpions emerged from the ground, as if overjoyed to finally see the light of day, crawling towards the continuously retreating group...
But they did not crawl towards Second Master Gong’s group!
Above...
When Second Master Gong appeared, Sui Yi knew things had taken a turn for the worse.
This man was always sly; appearing in front of so many formidable enemies with such ease, he must have had a terrible trump card...
It wasn’t long before they heard the words below.
A scorpion nest?
Sui Yi wanted to leave without saying anything. However, the young man seemed to understand and suddenly said, "Running from here might work; we might be on time, or we might not. But it looks like we can’t escape anymore..."
Sui Yi quickly realized what was happening and turned around... only to see half of Bai Xi’s skull slowly rotating... Its face, which had initially been sideways, was now turning to face them, staring straight at them with its frightening snake-like eyes...
And they were moving...
It was tentacles!
Sui Yi’s gaze locked on!
He noticed the tentacles were winding their way along the ground... Not just one, but countless tentacles, dense and numerous, resembling bundles of ropes, bundles of noodles... And they no longer feared the pair...
The power of numbers, combined with some sort of metamorphosis occurring within the skull, prompted Sui Yi and the young man to slowly rise and retreat against the wall...
However, the tentacles stopped at the hole and began to penetrate one by one.
One... slipped down.
Two...
Three...
All of them vied to burrow through, and they seemed to be able to compress infinitely, twisting into hair-thin existences, crawling down through the tiny hole...
As they squeezed through, they made a sticky, nauseating sound.
This scene was quite revolting. Sui Yi wondered, for the people in the main tomb below, after seeing those scorpions, what their reaction would be upon seeing so many tentacles overhead...
Suddenly, Sui Yi said, "I think we can go down now... No need to wait too long, just a moment..."
She stared at the tentacles, then glanced at the skull, her eyebrows tightly furrowed in contemplation yet appearing calm and unflappable... The young man squinted his eyes.
Could it be... another moment of extravagant ethnic style?
His gaze unconsciously fell on the mobile phone and headset she still held in her hand...(To be continued. If you like this work, please go to Qidian (qidian.com) to cast your recommendation vote and monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
