Chapter 109 Yaksha and the Light Beast
Upon hearing the order, everyone put their fingers on the trigger.
Several camp lights shone at the entrance, illuminating it as if it were daytime.
As the sound drew closer, a swarm of snakes, as numerous as a river, appeared within the range of the light.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines instantly, and instinctively pulled the trigger, unleashing a hail of bullets.
But these bullets did nothing to stop the snakes.
The abundance of rocks here, in particular, has a significant impact on ballistics.
"Quick, get the explosives!"
The bespectacled man shouted, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
But it was too late; the swarm of snakes had already rushed close.
Some people couldn't help but turn and run. When a leader appeared in the group, the mentality of the others also collapsed.
The original formation was thrown into chaos, and amidst screams, the last dozen or so people were overwhelmed by the swarm of snakes.
The others didn't even dare to turn their heads, wishing they had more legs.
The bespectacled man was standing at the back. Seeing that the situation was not good, he had already led his confidants to the tomb.
This is a dead end; the only way out is to go down into the tunnel.
When the snakes reached the hole behind the boulder, there were no living people left on the ground.
Even their corpses were submerged by snakes, and as far as the eye could see, there were only red and black Pure Vision Agamas.
However, due to Cheng Feng's orders, the snakes did not swarm into the tomb, allowing the bespectacled man and his seven or eight trusted henchmen to escape with their lives.
When Cheng Feng and Chen Wenjin arrived, the snakes parted like flowing water, making way for them.
"The tomb robber's tunnel is behind the boulder. Should we send the snakes down to scout the way?"
Chen Wenjin carefully dodged the Pure Land Āgama under her feet and asked Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng shook his head.
"No, our people are still down there. They don't have my scent on them, and the snakes won't show them any mercy."
If the Xieling group and others had barely survived, only to die at the hands of their own leader's snake horde...
That's so frustrating.
The two then walked around the tent and came to the back of the boulder.
There is a downward-facing tunnel here, with a smooth and flat surface around the entrance, showing the skill of the person who dug the shovel.
"Keep this pistol for self-defense. Someone might have escaped down there. Don't let your guard down now."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng handed Chen Wenjin a Type 54 pistol and two magazines.
Chen Wenjin accepted it and nodded in agreement.
Then the two of them went down into the tomb one after the other.
After crawling down seven or eight meters through the tunnel, Cheng Feng saw a section of wall that had been dug out.
After passing through the cave entrance, Cheng Feng stood up and looked around.
It was discovered that this place was a tomb passage with paths leading in both directions.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Wenjin climbed out of the cave and stood up next to Cheng Feng.
The stone used in this tomb passage is local Kunlun Mountain stone, which is grayish-white in color.
The stone walls on both sides are carved with lotus patterns full of Tantric style.
There are animal-shaped lampposts at intervals, but they are no longer filled with oil.
Cheng Feng looked around and found signs that people had been walking on both sides.
Which way should we go?
Chen Wenjin gave the choice to Cheng Feng.
Cheng Feng looked up at the top of the tomb passage; they were standing right under a mural.
The mural depicts a miniature version of Mount Kunlun, with a dragon coiled around its peak, its head ultimately pointing to the right.
"Let's go this way. The direction the dragon head points to should be the main burial chamber."
The brothers of the Unloading Ridge faction are all elite veterans, and it is most likely that they went directly to the main tomb.
Then Cheng Feng and his companion headed towards the tomb passage on the right.
Soon, things changed ahead; two stone gates blocked their path.
Each of the two stone gates is carved with a portrait.
On the left is a demon with a grotesque face, and on the right is a luminous beast riding on auspicious clouds.
Chen Wenjin stepped forward and carefully examined the two stone gates, then squatted down to look at the marks.
During this time, her fullness at the back stretched her pants very tight, which strongly attracted Cheng Feng's attention.
Cheng Feng quickly came to his senses and mentally berated himself: "Cheng Feng, Cheng Feng, what kind of time is this to still have such lustful thoughts?"
Chen Wenjin, unaware of Cheng Feng's unusual behavior, stood up and said:
"These two doors are trapdoors. Judging from the marks, there are no signs that the Yaksha's side has been disturbed."
Cheng Feng nodded seriously and said, "Alright, let's go this way with the Light Beast."
He then went to Chen Wenjin's side and pushed hard on one side of the stone door.
With a buzzing sound of stones grinding together, the trapdoor was pushed open.
The two entered through the stone gate, and there was another tomb passage, but it was completely different from the one behind them.
The murals here have been transformed into exquisite reliefs, depicting ethereal and otherworldly scenes.
"It seems this path is correct; the closer we get to the main tomb, the more exquisite the tomb passage becomes."
Chen Wenjin said as he looked at the reliefs on both sides.
Cheng Feng remained noncommittal. Without any information, who knew what kind of personality the tomb's occupant had?
Even when faced with a choice between two options, the chance of making a mistake is still fifty percent.
After walking several dozen meters along the tomb passage, there was a bend ahead.
Cheng Feng could faintly smell the stench of blood even before he turned the corner.
As the flashlight beam spread from the corner throughout the tomb passage, the scene before them made the two freeze in place.
The first thing you see is a young man half-buried under a boulder.
This huge rock blocked half of the tomb passage, making it impossible to see what was behind it.
There is a large gap at the top of the boulder, which looks like a rockfall trap.
There were bits of flesh and blood on the edge beneath the boulder.
A young man, his upper body covered in blood, lay dead about a meter in front of the boulder.
Fortunately, neither Cheng Feng nor Chen Wenjin knew this person.
"I'll go check out the situation on the rock."
As he spoke, Cheng Feng slowly walked towards the boulder, making way for the young man lying dead on the ground with his eyes wide open.
Arriving at the rock, Cheng Feng slightly bent his knees and jumped onto the nearly two-meter-high boulder.
Looking at the scene before him, Cheng Feng frowned.
The entire tomb passage appeared as if it were sealed off by a spider web.
Thick iron rods, each about the thickness of a thumb, protrude from the wall from all sides.
Through some gaps, you can see that someone has been nailed to the tomb passage, remaining in the position they were in before they died.
It can be said that this road is a complete dead end. Even if Cheng Feng had stepped into it, he would have definitely made a few holes.
"Cheng Feng, is there another road ahead?"
At this moment, Chen Wenjin below spoke up and asked.
Cheng Feng turned around and extended his hand, saying, "Come up and take a look too!"
Upon seeing this, Chen Wenjin quickly grabbed Cheng Feng's hand and, following Cheng Feng's strength, climbed onto the boulder.
But after seeing the scene before her, she said somewhat heavily:
"Could one of our people be in here?!"
"Let's go down and check."
Cheng Feng hoped it wasn't true, but the dense array of iron spikes blocked the way so well that he couldn't be sure.
The two jumped from the boulder to the other side of the tomb passage.
Then Cheng Feng drew the Fish Intestine Sword, looked at the blade that could cut a hair in two, and reluctantly put the sword back.
Using the Fish Intestine Sword to cut these iron rods is too extravagant; let's just break them by hand!
