Under Little Fatty's lead, everyone charged towards the seventh tunnel.
After making many turns along the way, a light appeared before them – it was clear that this was the end of the tunnel!
Everyone was invigorated and hastened their footsteps.
After charging out of the tunnel, their vision opened up – it was yet another empty tomb chamber.
This time round, there were eight dark tunnels on the opposite side of the tomb chamber – it was clear that everyone had to make another choice.
Everyone turned and looked at Little Fatty.
Little Fatty took out his geomantic compass and adjusted it slightly. Using a secret skill of Tomb Sect, he activated the geomantic compass and the magnetic needle gradually stabilized, pointing towards one of the tunnels.
Little Fatty blurted out, "Over here!"
Before he could finish his sentence, Little Fatty had already charged over.
After passing through that tunnel, there was another tomb chamber at the end.
There were four tunnels on the opposite side.
Shi Jian panted heavily from running and was speechless. "You guys from Tomb Sect are really mentally unstable. Aren't you guys being way too cautious?"
Little Fatty took out his geomantic compass once more and was quickly guided towards the leftmost tunnel. Everyone followed closely behind.
Linghu shook his head and said confidently, "If I'm not wrong, there should be another tomb chamber at the end of this tunnel with two tunnels on the opposite side!"
Little Fatty nodded. "You're right. There are a total of 32 suspicious cave abodes outside. Just Now, there are 16 tunnels in the tomb chamber. After that, there will be eight. Just Now, there are four. At the end of this tunnel, there should be two tunnels."
"Aren't I amazing?" Linghu closed in front of Qing Qing and said smugly.
Qing Qing pouted her lips.
Sure enough, when everyone walked out of the passage, they saw another tomb chamber. There were only two paths on the other side!
The left tunnel had a huge 'life' word written above it!
The right tunnel had a huge 'death' word written above it!
The two paths of life and death were right before everyone and they had to make another choice!
Everyone turned to look at the geomantic compass in Little Fatty's hands.
At this time, the magnetic needle of the compass was in complete chaos. It spun around without any pattern, unable to settle down.
"How could this be?" Su Zimo frowned slightly.
Little Fatty's expression turned solemn. "The feng shui here is chaotic, and the compass is useless. This is the final test left behind by the Great Tomb Lord. One of these two paths must lead to the real main tomb! "
"How should I choose?" Su Zimo asked.
"I don't know." Little Fatty shook his head and fell into deep thought.
"Hey, aren't you strong? Pick one of these two paths." Qing Qing stretched out her finger and poked Linghu's ribs as she whispered.
Linghu coughed lightly and muttered, "Life and death are two paths. The path of life may not lead to life, and the path of death may not lead to death. These two words were left behind by the tomb owner to confuse the later generations. In my opinion, the path with the word 'death' written on it is the true path of life! "
"Take the meaning of seeking life amidst death!"
Monkey thumped Linghu on the shoulder. "Perverted tiger, you're pretty good!"
"Of course!"
Linghu raised his head.
Little Fatty was deep in thought.
Given the tomb owner's suspicious and cautious personality, Linghu's guess might be true when he thought about the series of traps he left behind.
The little fox leaped out of Su Zimo's embrace and transformed into a young girl once more. She walked to the path with the word 'life' on the left and sensed it silently.
A moment later, the little fox arrived at the path with the word 'death' on the right.
The moment she arrived, her expression changed and she retreated a few steps back instinctively.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone asked and swarmed over.
When they arrived at the path with the word 'death', everyone's expressions changed slightly as well!
Everyone caught a whiff of the thick stench of blood in the tunnel. In fact, they could even hear the howls of ghostly foxes and wolves in the depths of the tunnel, as though there were countless living beings struggling and howling – it was chilling!
It was as though the tunnel led straight to Hell!
As for the other path with the word 'life', it was filled with life like a spring breeze, as though it was an immortal realm.
It was no wonder why they were the paths of life and death!
Qing Qing analyzed, "There's a high chance that the end of this path of 'death' leads to the true tomb, where the main tomb is located."
"That's right, we think the same," Linghu chuckled and tried to get closer.
The Golden Lion nodded. "We can only do the opposite. There's a high chance that this path with a torrential stench of blood is the true path of life."
"That's not right!"
Right then, Su Zimo shook his head and denied everyone's guess.
"The auras of these two paths are so obvious that it's easy to deduce. Why would the tomb owner go through the extra step of writing the words' life 'and' death 'on the two paths?"
Everyone was stunned.
Su Zimo was right. In that case, there was no need for the tomb owner to leave those two words.
Little Fatty asked, "Boss, what do you think?"
Su Zimo said deeply, "There's a high chance that those two words are an instruction left behind by the tomb owner for his descendants. The path with the word 'life' is the true path of life. As for the other path, it's a path of death with no return! "
Almost everyone thought of the problem in a complicated manner.
However, they did not expect that the path of life was the true path of life and the path of death was the true path of death!
Little Fatty slapped his thigh. "I trust you, boss. Let's take the path of life!"
"How about that?"
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, "Little Fatty and I will enter this path first. You guys wait outside. If the two of us don't come out after an hour …"
"There's no need,"
Monkey waved it off. "An additional person means an additional helper! Even if the end is truly Hell, we'll be able to charge out together! "
"That's right!"
"Let's go together!"
Linghu and the others stood out and shouted as well.
"Alright, let's go together then!"
Nodding, Su Zimo withdrew Blood Quencher from his storage bag and led the way with Little Fatty.
What they had to face was not only the possible dangers of the tomb, but also the person who had already arrived at the tomb before them!
In less than 15 minutes, a bright light shone from the front of the tunnel.
Everyone was invigorated.
They knew that they had chosen the right path!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Everyone sped up and sprinted forward with all their might. The moment they arrived at the entrance of the tunnel, Su Zimo felt a sense of danger and exclaimed, "Watch out!"
A black shadow as thick as a finger coiled over like a spirit snake!
Blood Quencher quivered and shone brightly with a blood beam.
With a backhand slash, Su Zimo slashed at the gray shadow!
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo's expression changed.
When the saber landed on the black shadow, it actually didn't cut it in half!
Instead, the black shadow coiled around Blood Quencher a few times and coiled towards Su Zimo!
Su Zimo was decisive and abandoned Blood Quencher. Crouching down, he was almost stuck to the ground and darted out like an anaconda.
Before he could even make out the appearance of the person who attacked, Su Zimo threw a punch in reverse, conjuring a gigantic seal that smashed down viciously!
It was a killing move from the Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness!
The person wore gray robes and was unhurried. Wielding an iron ruler, he tapped Su Zimo's wrist gently at an extremely fast speed!
"Eh?"
A look of surprise flashed through Su Zimo's eyes.
The move of the gray robed cultivator seemed familiar!
