The Myriad Diagram and Jade Forest Green Robe
"Look! There's light up ahead! "Oro anxiously said as he looked ahead.
Sure enough, the lights in the distance were brightly lit, and the passageway had suddenly opened up. The rumbling behind him was still going on. Due to Xia Fei's reckless destruction, it was not just this long passageway that was collapsing; the entire island was collapsing!
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei flashed into the room at the end of the passage.
* Thump ~ *
The heavy Dragon Breaker Stone crashed down, and the surroundings fell silent. It was clear that this room was an existence independent of the passage.
"I think that this is a tomb," Oro sternly said before Xia Fei could even get a foothold.
Xia Fei was startled, turning his head to carefully observe his surroundings. He saw that there were eight passageways here, each leading to eight different directions. The room was extremely spacious, with hundreds of crystal lamps hanging high up, bathing the entire room in white light.
In addition, there were three sarcophagi in the room, all of them made of Yellow Dragon Jade. They were identical in appearance, and there were carvings all around them.
"A tomb for three people?" Xia Fei muttered to himself in surprise.
According to Huo Yutong's directions, this passage led to a treasure room, though she had not said that this passage was so long and that the so-called treasure room was actually a tomb.
"In truth, there's only one master of this tomb. The reason why there are three identical sarcophagi is to prevent tomb robbers from entering. Two of the sarcophagi are fake, and only one is real. If you accidentally open the sarcophagi, you'll end up like the passage outside," Oro sternly said. "In the Law Realm, people often set up this sort of maze. After all, tomb robbing has been very popular since ancient times."
Xia Fei nodded. He circled around the three sarcophagi and carefully examined them.
"I understand. The mechanism outside is defense, and the three sarcophagi are also defense. However, these three sarcophagi are the tomb's final line of defense. Once you break them, you can obtain the tomb master's burial items," Xia Fei muttered to himself. "I really didn't think that Huo Yutong would have me do something as shady as tomb robbing."
Now that things had come to this, complaining was useless. Xia Fei was prepared to break these three sarcophagi and obtain what Huo Yutong needed so that he could set up the Celestial Zerohammer as soon as possible.
However, these three stone coffins were exactly the same, so it was difficult to tell which one was the real one.
Judging from the dangerous passageway outside, the owner of the tomb was vicious and merciless, setting up this long passageway of death. If he missed the sarcophagus, the consequences would be dire, so Xia Fei needed to be careful.
Xia Fei was a high-speed warrior, not some grave robber, so he had no idea how to distinguish the authenticity of the sarcophagus.
"Eye technique!"
Xia Fei's two eyes lit up, hoping to use the Beast Spirit Codex's ocular technique to observe the differences between the three sarcophagi.
"Expert, the three sarcophagi are identical. I have no way of distinguishing them," Xia Fei said.
Not only were the three sarcophagi identical, but the material used to construct them was also Yellow Dragon Jade, a rather heavy stone material. Xia Fei's ocular technique was unable to penetrate the sarcophagi to see what was inside.
Time passed, and Xia Fei was at his wit's end.
Suddenly, a series of knocking sounds came from outside a Broken Dragon Boulder. It seemed like someone was trying to break the Broken Dragon Boulder to enter the tomb!
The room was connected to eight different passageways, and the one being knocked was the exact opposite of the one Xia Fei had taken. These people had clearly taken a different path from Xia Fei, but the result was the same.
Slightly startled, Xia Fei carefully listened to that sound. It seemed to be the sound of an electric drill, very rhythmically pounding. The Broken Dragon Boulder had the ability to nullify Law, so these people were very quick to use automatic tools.
Of course, this method was much more clumsy than Xia Fei directly using the Law of Primal Chaos to bombard it, but for those who did not understand the Law of Primal Chaos, it was the only choice.
"Could it be those metal guardians who have been imbued with Law energy?" Oro doubtfully asked.
Xia Fei shook his head. "Impossible. Why would the guardians dare to barge into the owner's tomb? Besides, the owner of this tomb is so cautious, so if the guardians wanted to enter, they would surely have another way. They wouldn't choose such a stupid method. "
Clenching his teeth, Xia Fei sternly said, "No matter who it is, we'll know once they come in."
* Whoosh ~ *
Sweeping away all traces of his presence, Xia Fei nimbly leaped onto the roof. The hooks on his war armor extended, allowing Xia Fei to cling to the stone walls like a gecko.
The several hundred crystal lamps were extremely dazzling, and those who entered would not look up unless there was something special going on. Besides, Xia Fei had Breath Control to protect himself, so he had no problem hiding on the roof.
It had to be said that using automatic tools to break open the Broken Dragon Boulder was very clumsy. Xia Fei waited on the roof for more than twenty minutes before the Broken Dragon Boulder shattered.
* Kaboom! *
Two black-clothed men swiftly entered the room. They hid in two different corners and carefully observed for a while before standing up with vexed looks on their faces.
For some reason, these two men appeared to be in a very sorry state. The fat one had even had his head smashed open. He had used a piece of gauze to temporarily cover the wound, but blood was still flowing out. From the appearance of these two men, they were not humans but rather an intelligent race that was close to humans.
"How goddamn unlucky!" The fat man in black saw that there was no one around and began to grumble. "Just who did this?! We've been planning this for so long, and at the last moment, the tomb actually collapsed! It's a pity that my junior sister didn't manage to escape this calamity! "
Xia Fei could not help but laugh. Of course, he was the one who had caused the collapse of the tunnel, but he had no idea that there was actually a second group of people hidden in this long tunnel of death.
The skinny man in black pursed his lips and sternly said, "You don't have to feel sorry for your junior sister anymore. We have plenty of women. As long as we successfully complete the mission master gave us and take away the Myriad Portrait and Jade Forest Green Robe, we can have as many women as we want."
This man's voice was hoarse, and he spoke like a male duck, making anyone who heard him feel extremely uncomfortable. However, Xia Fei was more interested in the Myriad Portrait and Jade Forest Green Robe they spoke of. The Jade Forest Green Robe was something that Huo Yutong had requested, but she had never mentioned the Myriad Portrait.
With that, the two of them began to split up. Grave robbing tools were taken out from their spatial rings, and the two of them drilled tiny holes on the three yellow dragon jade sarcophagi in tacit understanding. Then, they inserted the super-miniature cameras into the holes to observe the situation.
Tsk tsk. The old demon lord smacked his lips and said in surprise, "Look at those grave robbers. They're much more professional than you are."
Xia Fei smiled, the corner of his lips curling up as he sinisterly said, "Indeed, I don't know how to rob graves, but I know how to rob and kill grave robbers."
…
The interior of the tomb was very hot and stuffy. The fat man in black took off his breastplate to reveal his neck. There was a very obvious green tattoo on his neck, which depicted a half-closed alloy door.
"Unholy Wind Bandits!" Oro anxiously exclaimed when he saw this tattoo. "No wonder they're so professional. It turns out that they're from the Unholy Wind Bandits. That half-closed door is the symbol of the Unholy Wind Bandits!"
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. While searching for the Law of Time, Xia Fei had come into contact with the Unholy Wind Bandits, but this group of grave robbers was not Xia Fei's target. They had merely been used as bait by someone else. He did not expect to run into the Unholy Wind Bandits on this mysterious island, and this might be an opportunity for Xia Fei.
The loss of the Law of Time was a huge loss to the God Race, and Xia Fei was even more unwilling to let go of this ultimate Law. In order to obtain it, he could not let go of any clues!
"I've got it. The sarcophagus on the left is the main one," the skinny man in black said after inspecting the three sarcophagi.
* Crack crack crack. *
After a very professional hustle and bustle, the two men in black worked together to prop up the sarcophagus. There was no corpse inside, only some tattered clothes. The moment air entered, the clothes immediately turned to dust, turning to ash.
The two men in black first paid their respects in a very strange manner before gently picking up a jade box and a scroll sealed in alloy from the sarcophagus.
"The Unholy Wind Bandits are one of the oldest grave robbing organizations in the Law Realm. I've had dealings with them in the past, and the way they paid their respects just now was to honor the dead. As the saying goes, even thieves have their own rules, and as a veteran grave robbing organization, the Unholy Wind Bandits have very strict rules.
"As for the jade box and scroll, they should be the Jade Forest Azurecloak and the Myriad Image," Oro said. Oro sternly said. At this point, he was a hundred percent certain that these two men in black were from the Unholy Wind Bandits.
Xia Fei said nothing, quietly waiting on the roof.
"Haha! Master was right! The cenotaph on Lizard Island really is the Myriad Mountain Form of a super artificer! The Jade Forest Azurecloak and the Myriad Image are both in our hands! "the skinny man in black excitedly exclaimed.
The fat man pursed his lips. "As a super artificer, the Myriad Mountain Form is a meticulous and ruthless man. There shouldn't be anything fishy about this, right?"
"No. This Corridor of Death is arranged by the Myriad Mountain Form, but the cenotaph was made by his descendants. They're not as cunning as the Myriad Mountain Form," the skinny man said with a determined gaze.
"Alright, then. We'll go back and report on our mission. When we came out, we came with an entire team, a total of 128 people, but only the two of us are going back. Sigh, this mission sure was tough. "
Xia Fei smiled. 128 people were dead, and only two were left? He did not think that he would end up hunting a bunch of rats.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei floated down from the roof like a nimble loach, arriving at the skinny man's side in the blink of an eye. Blood Crystal flashed red as it stabbed right into that man's throat! At the same time, Peacock Blue grabbed the fat man in black and lifted him into the air, while Furball was right in front of him, staring at him with murderous eyes!
* Whoosh ~ *
The upgraded Blood Crystal only needed an instant to suck this man in, and the 1.8 meter tall man turned into a pile of bones in the blink of an eye. Xia Fei stomped on him and turned him into dust.
The fat man in black witnessed all of this, his face pale. Xia Fei's speed and technique had left him extremely shocked, and the Blood Crystal that turned a man into a pile of bones had left him in even greater shock!
He wanted to scream, but his neck was already tightly bound by Peacock Blue, and the slightest movement would cause his skin to split open.
Weighing the Myriad Image and the Jade Forest Azurecloak in his hand, Xia Fei raised his head and asked with a smile, "You're from the Unholy Wind Bandits?"
