The Eternal World

C87 catacombs

The entire Qiaoyao Mountain could be considered to have completely quieted down.

Even if someone bumped into them accidentally, they would suppress the killing intent in their hearts and they would all choose to endure.

After all, no one had the confidence to pass through this poison miasma at dawn.

Everyone came to an agreement to conserve their strength and to choose a great battle when they reached the mountainside.

Taking advantage of the darkness of night, Eggy and Zhang Chao followed the mountain path stealthily. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they bypassed everyone and arrived in a forest of needles.

The ground was covered with thick pine needles, making it very soft to step on.

"Are we almost at the foot of the mountain? If we go any further, we might be leaving the mountain soon. What are we doing here? Is Poison Man hiding here? " Zhang Chao asked in confusion.

"Heh, just follow me. What's with all the nonsense?" Eggy muttered impatiently.

"Damn! Eggy, did you inflate again?" Do you believe that I won't use my trump card against you? "

"Don't, I was wrong, you're the older brother!" Who knew how much pain that Yin Yang Dual Polarity Pellet would give him? A wise man doesn't eat the loss, but when he finds the Poison Man and the matter of the Qiaoyao Mountain is resolved, he would have to run as fast as he could. As far as he could, he had to stay as far away from Zhang Chao!

This guy was his nemesis!

"Then hurry up and tell us, where are we going!" Zhang Chao nodded his head proudly, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

"See how it makes you so anxious!" Eggy pointed to a large rock not far away and asked, "Look at that rock. Is there anything unusual about it?"

"How could there be?" Zhang Chao looked at it for a long time before shaking his head, "Don't tell me Poison Man is hiding inside that rock!"

"Damn, your brain is really big!" Eggy spat, and without saying anything more, she walked straight next to the rock. Then, her arms suddenly thickened, and she seemed to once again use the skill "Extreme Strength".

Soon after, he saw the other party actually lift up the huge rock with a struggle.

"Big Bro, are you thinking about showing off my muscles?" Zhang Chao curled his lips: "Are you showing your extraordinary strength or something? "I've seen it before, you better be careful not to take a rock and smash your own feet. If you get killed, I'll even accompany you in death!"

"Pui!" What are you talking about? Don't be a jinx, I'll tell you! My life is very valuable, don't go and die in my head, otherwise I will accompany you in death, I will lose my life! " Eggy didn't spare him with words. She threw the big rock to the side, pointed at the ground, and said, "See!"

"What is it?" Zhang Chao was puzzled and walked over.

Beneath the big rock was a hole!

It was a bottomless pit that emitted waves of yin qi!

"Your sister, there's another hole!" Zhang Chao shivered.

Seeing this hole, he immediately thought of the corpse rearing ground.

"If that's right, the Poison Man should be right below us!" Eggy said with a serious expression.

"How do you know that? Didn't you never find it before? " Zhang Chao's face was full of suspicion.

"What do you think?" Eggy asked.

"Pah!" Zhang Chao clapped his hands: "Ling Tian!"

"Heh, looks like you're not stupid!" Eggy smugly nodded. "Didn't I say it before? Naturally, I have the strongest backing and I have plenty of resources. You simply cannot guess!"

"Alright, you win!" Zhang Chao sighed, pointed to the big hole and asked: "That omniscient Eggy, can you tell me what is below?"

"Ancient Tomb!"

"Ancient tomb?" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows, "Okay, it's not a corpse rearing area, it's an ancient tomb!"

"Hmm, it is said that the peerless expert who walked out of the Qiaoyao Mountain back then accidentally found this ancient tomb, and obtained heavenly luck from within!" Eggy continued, "And Ling Tian and I analyzed that the reason Poison Man came here is very likely because of this ancient tomb!"

"If there's an ancient tomb here, then there should be countless experts here right? What's left? " Zhang Chao was completely puzzled.

"Do you think it's that easy? There must be many people who came here to search for the ancient tomb, but how could ordinary people find such a place? " Eggy said in disdain.

"It's very difficult? For example, the people of War God Academy are looking for … " Zhang Chao still didn't understand.

"You think too highly of the War God Academy!" Eggy waved her hands, "Although the War God Academy is very powerful, the real experts are not amongst them!"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

"Hur hur, you'll know in the future!" After saying that, Eggy jumped down the hole. "Come with me, since you want to meet Poison Man!"

"Ai, why do I hate people who only say half of their sentence? Don't keep us in suspense! " Zhang Chao was a little helpless, he could only jump into the cave right after Eggy.

The bottom of the large hole was connected directly to a corridor within the underground palace.

After the two of them arrived, they immediately felt waves of coldness.

The passageway was made of green brick, but because this place was dry, it was well-preserved.

On both sides of the wall, every ten steps, there was a lamp with a pale green flame jumping about. It was unknown just how long the flame had been burning.

"There won't be any sudden corpses here, right?" Zhang Chao asked weakly.

"I don't think so. After all, this is the tomb of an ancient expert, there's no need to use things like undead to guard it!" Eggy rubbed her nose and said, "There's no smell of decay here either. I'm guessing there might be some traps or something like that. You can't even have animals!"

"A trap?" As Zhang Chao said that, he suddenly saw that at the bottom of the wall beside him, there was a protruding green brick, which was not on the same line as the wall, making it look extremely unusual. He did not know what was going on, and immediately kicked it: "For example, this?"

"Crack crack crack crack!" Soon after, a series of mechanical grinding sounds could be heard from the surrounding walls, and the ground began to shake as well.

"You, what did you do?" Eggy looked at Zhang Chao with disbelief.

"No, you said there might be a trap. I saw a brick sticking out, so I couldn't help but kick it!" Zhang Chao's face was filled with innocence.

"Damn, you are courting death!" Eggy was so angry that she almost vomited blood. This Zhang Chao was supposed to be smart, why would he make such a low level mistake?

But who would have thought that after a few breaths, the throbbing in the passageway stopped. It seemed that there was no other reaction.

"Hmm? "Are you alright?" Eggy's nerves had tensed to the extreme. She was prepared to deal with the mechanisms that could appear at any moment. However, after waiting for a long time, nothing actually happened.

"No mechanism? Then what did you just touch? "

"I don't know either. Look, there's no arrow defense, no guillotine, no meteor hammer, no ground stab or anything like that!" Zhang Chao shrugged his shoulders.

"Hmph, you still can't let your guard down!" Eggy glared at Zhang Chao, then walked in front and waved his hand. "Be careful, slowly move forward. Remember, if there is any danger, we must work together, and you can't hide it from us.

"Un, don't worry, don't waste my breath!" Zhang Chao waved his hand.

"Phew, what a relief!" Eggy felt a slight headache as she continued forward.

However, what he did not see was that Zhang Chao, who was behind him, had a light purple luster flash across his eyes.

Just like this, one in front and one behind. After walking for another hundred or so feet, the two of them arrived at a fork in the road.

There were two people at this intersection, one on the left and one on the right. It was unknown which road led to the tomb.

"A fork in the road!" Eggy stood at the fork in the road and thought for a long time. Then, she pointed to the one on the right and said, "Zhang Chao, let's go this way first!"

"Why don't we go our separate ways? If that's the case, I will definitely make the right decision by myself! " Zhang Chao suddenly asked.

"If we're going to separate, we won't be able to respond in the shortest amount of time if anything really happens. Although it might be a waste of time, it's best to work together!" Eggy shook her head.

"Alright, but I think the left path should be the real one..." Zhang Chao pointed to the intersection to the left.

"How did you know?" Eggy was a bit puzzled.

"Intuition!"

"... Fine, I'll listen to you for now. Take the left path. If you can't get through, then turn back the same way you came. Then, head to the right! " Eggy nodded and walked towards the intersection on the left.

"Very good …" Zhang Chao's mouth twitched as he followed behind.

After about half an incense's time, Eggy suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong? "Why not continue?" Zhang Chao asked from behind him.

"Look ahead..." Eggy frowned.

A few feet in front of them were piles of bones.

These skeletons and their clothes had long since rotted away, and their bones had turned yellow. Moreover, they had even turned to stone. It was obvious that they had died here for countless years, and it was unknown when they were left behind.

"Oh, a few bones!" Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

"Was it because he wanted to steal the tomb or seek good fortune?" Eggy rubbed her chin in thought and said, "But since they are going to die here, that means … There's definitely danger ahead! "

"Should we go over and take a look?" Zhang Chao encouraged them from the side: "If there is any danger, doesn't it prove that there is some good fortune ahead? Often, danger and good fortune exist side by side, right? "

"Hmm, that makes sense. But it might just be a trap …" Eggy was hesitant.

"Don't think so much, just take a look and you'll know. In any case, I have the Sovereign Tablet in my hands!" Zhang Chao said while not caring at all.

"No, I think it's better to be safe than sorry. Let's retreat first and go back the way we came. If we can't make it through, it's not too late to come back and take the risk!" Eggy shook her head. She didn't agree with Zhang Chao's suggestion.

"Is that so … I'm sorry, then. How can I let you go back just like that? "Since you're already here, go ahead and take a look!" Suddenly, Zhang Chao revealed a sinister expression, and suddenly pushed towards Eggy's back!

"You, what are you doing?" Eggy's pupils constricted, but the force that Zhang Chao suddenly unleashed was too great. He was unable to control his body and after staggering a few steps, he fell towards the corpses …
