Chapter 220

After the passage, there was a spiral staircase leading downwards.

It is rare for main tombs like Xuan Nu Zhi's to be on the surface.

Although Prince Prince Yuanping was once a deposed emperor, he was ultimately a prince; the part on the ground was indeed petty, but the inside was not small.

Walking down the spiral staircase, they walked for about half an hour, and they hadn't reached the bottom yet.

"Brother Guo, do you feel anything wrong?" Chu Chu Danqing couldn't help but ask.

Although they weren't moving at full speed, at their speed, ten minutes was enough to walk ten miles.

Chu Chu Danqing didn't believe that Prince Prince Yuanping's tomb could really be dug ten miles deep underground.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming also pondered for a moment: "I don't feel any problem."

As for the fact that they hadn't reached the bottom after walking for so long, he didn't feel anything was wrong.

After all, there were deeper secret rooms in his home.

Chu Chu Danqing also reacted; the world Guo Ming was in was of a higher level, and ten miles was nothing.

That's why Guo Ming didn't feel anything was wrong.

"I'll leave a mark." Chu Chu Danqing said, taking a piece of clothing from his storage space and throwing it on the stairs.

He suspected that they had been going in circles.

Seeing this, Guo Ming didn't say anything; after making the mark, they continued walking down.

And this time, the speed increased.

Then they saw a familiar item.

The clothing thrown on the stairs by Chu Chu Danqing.

Chu Chu Danqing picked it up; whether it was the style or the texture, it was the one Chu Chu Danqing had left behind.

"Trouble, we really are trapped in here." Chu Chu Danqing muttered, then gave the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow a rope hundreds of meters long.

After the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow took it, it walked down the stairs just like that.

"Strange, then why don't I feel anything?" Guo Ming also felt it was weird; this shouldn't be.

In his perception, there was no problem.

"Perception can also be deceptive." Chu Chu Danqing said, "This should be caused by some extremely high-end Feng Shui pattern."

"Essentially, it might be using spatial illusion or some messy principle; anyway, I don't know it." Chu Chu Danqing said he didn't know it with righteous confidence.

What Feng Shui would a summoner know?

As he finished speaking, footsteps came from behind; the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow was clearly walking downwards, but after going around in a circle, it actually appeared from behind them again.

"Confirmed, there is a problem." Chu Chu Danqing unsummoned the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow, then re-summoned it.

Because he was worried it was a fake disguised.

However, the confirmation process had no problems; the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow behind them was indeed summoned by him.

By retrieving the rope, Chu Chu Danqing determined that the length of this entire spiral staircase was one hundred and twenty meters.

It wasn't long but it kept cycling, making it impossible for people to get away.

"How about we jump down?" Chu Chu Danqing glanced at the bottomless darkness beside the spiral staircase.

The staircase and its surroundings seemed to use some kind of light-absorbing material; even if the high-intensity flashlight shone down, what met the eye was pitch black.

It's normal to think about it; how could the venue of an S-Rank mission be broken so easily?

"It's fine, but aren't you afraid, Brother Chu, that even if we jump down, we'll still be cycling?" Guo Ming wasn't worried about dying from jumping down; from the Son of Heaven to the Ghost Resentment Mother to him, they could all fly or even lift people to fly.

Therefore, nothing would happen.

"Oh, then let the Son of Heaven jump first." After Chu Chu Danqing finished speaking, the Son of Heaven came out from the imperial edict hanging on his chest, and then leaped from the edge of the stairs.

"Not dead yet; if it died, the edict would disappear." Chu Chu Danqing said.

Then a golden light flashed below, and the Son of Heaven returned.

It described the situation briefly; it was basically that after it jumped down, it landed on a staircase, and walking back, it met Chu Chu Danqing.

"It seems it won't work; we are trapped in here." Chu Chu Danqing said, "What to do? Break it with violence?"

He had no other way; his specialty didn't match, so he couldn't solve it.

So he could only pin his hopes on Guo Ming.

Hearing this, Guo Ming naturally nodded; the three flying swords, the Zi Hour Divine Queen Sword, Chou Hour Great Luck Sword, and Yin Hour Merit Official Sword, directly set up the Three Talents Sword Array.

Centered on the area where they were, they blasted directly downwards.

The entire staircase began to collapse rapidly, and they were also falling along with it.

However, with the Son of Heaven using spells to support them, Chu Chu Danqing didn't feel much fear.

It wasn't the first time Great Treasure had received this treatment, so it was quite skilled; on the contrary, the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow was a bit unaccustomed.

Until the entire spiral staircase was destroyed, they landed.

"It doesn't look quite right." Chu Chu Danqing looked around; it was still pitch black, which meant they might not have left the location of the spiral staircase yet.

Fortunately, it wasn't without good news; in a corner of this pitch-black space, they found a corpse that had rotted down to only white bones.

"It's a person from the Mountain-Moving Sect." Chu Chu Danqing looked at the person's Taoist robe and knew it was a Mountain-Moving Taoist from the four major sects.

It's just that they had been dead for quite some time.

After some searching, he found something similar to a diary.

【It's the Nether Ferry, damn Prince Prince Yuanping, this time I really can't get out】

【No, there's still a chance, I found the Gate of Life】

【Damn it, they actually blocked the Gate of Life】

【I have been wise all my life, and now I am going to starve to death here; I hate it so much!】

Chu Chu Danqing flipped through this diary briefly; the first part was discovering that he couldn't walk out of the stairs and determining what it was.

Later, he was decadent for two days, and before the dry rations were eaten up, relying on his solid Feng Shui knowledge and experience, he found the so-called Gate of Life.

That is, he got rid of the Feng Shui pattern of the spiral staircase called the Nether Ferry; as a result, after reaching the bottom, he saw that they had directly blocked the Gate of Life.

This is very reasonable; isn't it what tomb robbers are guarded against?

The final result was that he couldn't get out, the food was exhausted, and he ended up starving to death.

As for breaking through the wall, he had tools, but this Mountain-Moving Taoist didn't dare.

The Gate of Life should have served as a glimmer of hope; after being blocked, the severance of life led to the accumulation of a large amount of death energy.

Breaking it open would inevitably lead to being immersed in death energy, and one wouldn't even be at peace after death.

Of course, being directly impacted by death energy while alive is worse than death; it's better to choose to starve to death.

"Don't say, this Prince Prince Yuanping's tomb is still quite friendly to us." After reading the diary, Chu Chu Danqing handed it to Guo Ming to read.

The structure in this tomb is specifically designed to pit these tomb robbers; you think you have broken the Feng Shui pattern, but in reality, they are just teasing you.

Not breaking it means death, and breaking it also means death.

After all, so many measures were taken just to ensure that his tomb would not be visited; why would he leave a glimmer of hope for tomb robbers?

Naturally, the more sinister and vicious, the better.

Coincidentally, among this group of people, only Chu Chu Danqing had a little superficial knowledge of Feng Shui, while the rest had nothing but strength.

After walking for half an hour and failing to discover the problem, they chose to break it down.

"That's true." After reading it, Guo Ming nodded and asked: "Brother Chu, which wall to hit?"

Besides the top, there were four positions: East, West, South, and North; Guo Ming couldn't see the clues, so he could only let Chu Chu Danqing make the decision.

Only Chu Chu Danqing had a little superficial knowledge of Feng Shui, which was better than guessing blindly.

However, Chu Chu Danqing was also in the dark; this was like letting him do advanced mathematics after he had finished learning the multiplication table.

Chu Chu Danqing would only ask: 'Isn't this a math test? Why did you give me an English paper, and what does the factory on this English mean?'

So after observing carefully for a circle, Chu Chu Danqing couldn't say he didn't see it; he could only say that the materials used to build the tomb were indeed good.

"How is it? Do you have any clues?" Guo Ming looked at Chu Chu Danqing and asked.

Chu Chu Danqing spread his hands: "None."

Zhong Ting, as a professional, should have been able to see it, but he was in a hurry to go back to save people and didn't follow Chu Chu Danqing down.

"Then I'll just pick a wall and smash it for him; anyway, there are only five choices in total, and I'll always be able to pick the right one." Guo Ming said, raising his flying sword and starting to accumulate power.

As for the death energy, it doesn't matter; the Son of Heaven started to cast buffs for everyone, and Bai Bai also used the Spirit Art · Spirit Healing, an area healing spell, to stack double shields.

Chu Chu Danqing also opened the Five Elements Origin Spirit Array to use as a further buff effect.

At the same time, he protected the Moon Orchid Martial Shadow in front of him for the first time to avoid being affected.

Guo Ming's Three Talents Sword Array landed on the wall on the east side.

The bad news was that the direction was wrong, and the worse news was that a large amount of death energy surged in, even thick enough to be visible to the naked eye.

Fortunately, Guo Ming was powerful enough to block this death energy gap with the Three Talents Sword Array.

He resisted the death energy that kept pouring in with sword-Qi, which kept the space of the Nether Ferry from being immersed in death energy.

Seeing this, Guo Ming could only choose the adjacent west side again.

With another sword, the Three Talents Sword Array could only continue to plug the hole.

"You say, will this thing play a counter-routine with us? After hitting all five sides and none are it, the real entrance is actually above our heads." Chu Chu Danqing said.

Hearing this, Guo Ming initially thought it made sense, but after thinking about it carefully, there was a big problem.

If it's above the head, it becomes an exit; how can it be an entrance?

"Brother Chu, let's say that even counter-routines must have logic." When Guo Ming said this, his double swords flew together, smashing the north and south sides as well.

But it still wasn't the entrance; finally, he forcibly used the Maiden Sword to break the floor under their feet, which finally made a big hole.

Everyone's feet were empty, and they fell directly.

Fortunately, it was only about ten meters high, not very high.

After landing, the surroundings became an underground palace, but it was covered by a layer of thick dark clouds.

"Death energy? No." Chu Chu Danqing watched the shield value keep falling, and his expression wasn't very good.

Guo Ming's expression changed suddenly, and he decisively took out a set of arrays and a large number of talismans to bless them, hiding everyone, and took everyone to the location of the previous gap.

Looking at this posture, it seemed he was ready to escape by sword at any time.

Chu Chu Danqing hadn't reacted to what was happening when he heard neat and uniform footsteps coming from the dark clouds.
