"What should we do next? Ruhr and the rest are dead, but we can't just give up like this, right? "
Master Pi asked with a frown as he looked at the ruins around them. He had not recovered to his peak condition yet, but he had mostly recovered.
"I don't know what to do either. What do you think, Bernie?"
Although King Kong had only recently joined her mercenary group and was usually a man of few words, he was brave in battle and had saved Rachel's life several times. Now that she was at her weakest, she instinctively asked for King Kong's opinion in a panic.
"Master Pi is right. We're already here, so we can't just give up halfway!"
When the King Kong King saw the flash of fear in Rachel's eyes, he knew that she really wanted to retreat. He quickly encouraged her, "Only the two of us are alive in our mercenary group. All our brothers have sacrificed their lives. If they know about this in the underworld, they won't be willing to accept it. They definitely won't want us to retreat like this."
"Yes, you're right. No matter how scary this mausoleum of Genghis Khan is, we can't retreat in order to not disappoint our brothers."
It had to be said that the King Kong was also a guy who was good at bewitching people. He understood Rachel's personality very well. She was a woman who treated her brothers in the mercenary group as her own family, and the wishes of her brothers were her biggest weakness. With just one sentence, he made Rachel come back to life on the spot as if she had been injected with chicken blood. Her eyes were filled with determination.
A smug smile appeared on Master Pi's face. Of the four survivors, one was an injured woman, one was a weak lama, and the last one was a brawny but brainless brute. These people were no threat to him at all. The rest of the situation was in his hands.
It was not that he didn't want to kill these people, but they hadn't entered the inner mausoleum yet. He didn't know what dangers awaited them. One more person meant one more cannon fodder, so he was happy to do it.
"The passage here has collapsed. How can there be a way out?"
Zhu Gu blinked his big clear eyes and pretended to be scared.
"If you're scared, you can leave now. But first, you have to make it out."
Master Pi glanced at Zhu Gu coldly and said in a threatening tone.
Zhu Gu cooperatively shivered and said with a frightened face, "I … I'd better follow you. There are so many snakes outside. I'm scared!"
"Don't be afraid, little guy. Bernie and I will protect you."
Rachel looked at Zhu Gu's fearful expression and couldn't help but feel her maternal instinct. She comforted him in a soft voice.
"Then I'll have to trouble big brother and big sister to take care of Zhu Gu!"
Zhu Gu said with an innocent face.
This demon actually knew how to act!
There was a cold smile on Ding Ning's lips. He thought it would be better to wait a little longer and see how these people would open the mausoleum door and enter the inner mausoleum.
"My injuries aren't light. Hey, big guy, the rest is up to you. It shouldn't be a problem to clear the stones in front of the entrance, right?"
Master Pi thought that he was in control of the situation, so he shouted at the King Kong arrogantly.
A cold glint flashed across the Vajra King's eyes. He wanted nothing more than to kill Master Pi immediately. However, when he thought of the fact that who knew what kind of bugs were lurking in the tomb, and that this guy might still be of use to him, he swallowed his anger and answered honestly, "No problem!"
"Be careful!"
A hint of dependence flashed across Rachel's eyes. She reminded him gently, which warmed the King Kong's heart. He grinned and said, "You forgot that I'm the strongest in our group. These stones won't be a problem for me!"
Beautiful and affectionate, the King Kong seemed to be filled with fighting spirit.
He began to do the hard work valiantly and spiritedly.
Ding Ning enjoyed the fruits of others' work. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he watched the King Kong's effortless but strenuous performance. Life was like a play, and it all depended on one's acting skills. These four people all had their own ulterior motives. How wonderful.
Things were getting more and more interesting. Even that Rachel was a standard actress. She pretended to be affectionate and charmed the King Kong so much that she became the vanguard. Perhaps, Rachel had long suspected the King Kong's identity, so she directed this scene!
If Ding Ning had not sneaked into the ground out of boredom and found that not only was Ruhr's body not among the stones, but there were also only a few mercenaries' bodies. Those who had died were all the researchers of the archaeological team, perhaps even he would have been fooled by Rachel's performance.
But what puzzled Ding Ning was, how did Ruhr and those mercenaries disappear? Could it be that they all knew the Earth Drilling Technique?
Ding Ning did not believe it and drilled into the ground. It was not until he found the traces left behind by the Earth Dragon, which was dozens of meters thick, that he realized that these people were either eaten by this huge Earth Dragon, or taken away by the Earth Dragon in its mouth like Master Pi.
If it was the latter, then this matter was even more interesting. Could it be that there was an Earth Worm Master who was more skilled than Master Pi among Ruhr and the others? If that was the case, could this terrifying number of Earth Dragons have been summoned by this Earth Worm Master in order to scare away the other tomb robbers?
But that was not right. If the Kravitz Family really had such a powerful Earth Worm Master, there was no need to bring Master Pi and King Kong here, right?
Ding Ning could not figure it out. He sank into the ground and pondered hard. Suddenly, he found that there seemed to be a faint fluctuation of an array under the ground.
Ding Ning fixed his eyes and saw that the dead bodies of the archaeologists were quickly drying up. Blood was constantly seeping into the ground along the wounds, shining with a dark and indescribable luster.
This strange scene made his hair stand on end. A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through his mind. The Blood Sacrifice Technique!
As a Formation Grandmaster, he knew that there were two conventional ways to break an array. One was to find the Array Eye to break the array by a Formation Grandmaster who was well-versed in the art of arrays; the other was to use a force that was beyond the power of the array to break it by force.
Not to mention the Formation Grandmaster who could break the array, even he, a Formation Grandmaster, could not find the Array Eye under the circumstances of seeing through the whole picture, let alone other Formation Grandmasters. Of course, the Empyrean Fairy might be able to do it, but she was a goddess with high standards. How could she be interested in the burial goods of a mortal emperor?
Breaking it by force was even more impossible. Since Genghis Khan's mausoleum was set up with a large array and even made use of an extraordinary item like the Immortal Stone, unless a 10,000-ton nuclear weapon was used, even an expert in the Holy Martial Arts Realm might not be able to break this array with brute force.
Since these two conventional methods did not work, then there was only a third unconventional method to break the array.
In the inheritance of arrays, there was an ancient and evil method to break the array, and that was the Blood Sacrifice Technique!
It used the blood and vitality of many people to corrode the power of the array and make the array stop operating to break the door of the array.
At present, it seemed that Ruhr used this Blood Sacrifice Technique, but the problem was that the number of people who were sacrificed seemed to be too small. Their blood and vitality did not seem to be enough to break the door of the array.
Ding Ning fell into deep thought. At a certain moment, his eyes suddenly flashed as he thought of a possibility.
Unless, this was only one of the nodes to break the array, and there were other array doors in other locations that were also undergoing a Blood Sacrifice Technique. Only then would it make sense.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the fluctuations of the array pattern under the ground became stronger and stronger, and a violent roar suddenly sounded from the ground.
Ding Ning quietly poked his head out to look.
He saw that the runes on the Immortal Stone door, which was disguised as an entire wall, were flickering. An invisible force fluctuated, and the door suddenly turned, revealing a dark entrance.
"It's open, the door is open!"
The Vajra King shouted in ecstasy. He turned around and picked up Rachel, who had difficulty walking, and rushed into the door.
He did not expect that Master Pi was faster than him, and entered the door before him.
Zhu Gu slowly followed behind the Vajra King, and also entered the door with a nervous and scared look.
Ding Ning narrowed his eyes and quietly followed, but he was more and more certain of his guess. They deliberately created a collapse as a Blood Sacrifice Technique to cause the array to fall into a temporary halt. It seemed that the Kravitz Family was very well-prepared this time!
According to his deduction, at least three hundred people had to be sacrificed in this Blood Sacrifice Technique to suppress the operation of the array and open the door to the array, and there were no more than fifty archaeologists who had died. This meant that the Kravitz Family had found at least six places, and there were at least five more members of the Kravitz Family who were doing the same thing as Ruhr in order to open the door to the array.
They were really crazy, sacrificing so many lives in order to open the door to the array. Was the Kravitz Family full of f * cking lunatics?
But at this time, Ding Ning became more and more suspicious of whether this was Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
Although that Heavenly Son had a tragic life, fought countless battles big and small, plundered the treasures of more than 20 countries, and had a group of capable people as his subordinates, Ding Ning did not believe that he could use a meteorite from outer space like the Immortal Stone as the gate of the formation. Genghis Khan did not have such a great ability.
If it was really as he thought, that this was not Genghis Khan's mausoleum, but someone else, then things would be terrible.
Wealth moved people's hearts. The Kravitz Family's calculations were very good, but he was afraid that they would be in vain. They might be able to enter, but they might not be able to leave. In the end, it was hard to say whether they could save their lives.
After entering the array door, there was a dark tunnel in front of him. As soon as Ding Ning entered, he saw that the Vajra King and others had stopped. He was puzzled and suddenly realized that there was no oxygen here, and it was actually a vacuum.
He had the Five Elements Totem, and the spiritual power in his body could simulate any form of gas, including oxygen. He had long reached the point where he did not need to breathe through his mouth and nose, so he did not notice the abnormality at first. But the Vajra King and others could not. After realizing that there was no oxygen here, they immediately held their breath, waiting for fresh air to enter through the opened door.
"Puff!"
"Puff!"
A green light flashed in the dark tunnel, and the first oil lamp suddenly lit up on both sides of the wall, followed by the second … the third …
In the end, the entire tunnel was lit up with oil lamps. Although the tunnel was illuminated to a certain extent, the dim green light reflected on people's faces made them look like ghosts, chilling them to the core. It scared Rachel so much that she let out a scream!
"Stop screaming, you scared me to death. It's just a small trick, what's there to be surprised about!"
Master Pi was not frightened by the green light, but by Rachel's scream. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and scolded her.
"Master … Master, what's going on? Why is this oil lamp so scary? "
After all, Rachel was a mercenary. After being scolded by Master Pi, she calmed down and asked with a trembling voice.
"There's nothing to be surprised about. It's not worth a single cent if I say it out loud. This is called the Ten Thousand Years Lamp.
Because of the heat of the lamp, it emits green flames when it burns due to the principle of expansion, contraction, or oxidation! "
Master Pi said as if he was used to it.
