Chapter 114

Although Yang Lu felt it wasn't necessary, this was Zhang Lin’s suggestion, so she accepted it without reservation.

Regarding the identity of Zhang Lin being her senior brother, she also followed Zhang Lin’s wishes and would not speak of it to outsiders for the time being.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Lin was still just an ordinary storyteller.

And not the senior brother of the new leader of the Mountain Movers!

Being so low-key, Zhang Lin had his own considerations.

The Nine Gates were actually not on the same level as the Mountain Movers, the Unloading Ridge, the Hill-Splitting, or the Gold-Touching.

The Nine Gates were just an appetizer Zhang Lin prepared for the audience.

To let them quickly integrate into this big world of the tomb-robbing underworld!

When everyone was immersed in it along with his storytelling,

they would slowly discover that the Nine Gates they initially thought were very powerful were actually only in the middle of the pyramid.

In this tomb-robbing underworld, there were even higher-level and top-tier people in existence!

And Zhang Lin was the one who slowly unveiled the mysterious veil of this world for the audience.

Regarding the Nine Gates, Zhang Lin’s impression was actually average.

Especially the Upper Three Gates, which he hadn't started telling yet; the Buddha Zhang within them set a tragic tone for the Nine Gates.

Originally a group of people from the Eight Outer Trades doing tomb-robbing, they ended up almost being wiped out because the Buddha Zhang got involved in some matters.

Zhang Lin would definitely tell the world everything the Nine Gates experienced after he finished talking about the Upper Three Gates, without reservation.

Sometimes, things like fig leaves were meant to be lifted!

As for the secret of immortality causing chaos in the world?

Zhang Lin felt the possibility was not high!

Do you really think that just because people know there is a possibility of immortality in this world, everyone will have the opportunity to participate in it?

Opportunities are always in the hands of the few.

Moreover, how noble was the status of the person who forced the Buddha Zhang to find a method of immortality for him back then?

He still didn't succeed!

This world follows certain laws.

When the biggest secret becomes common knowledge, it loses the mystery it had as a secret.

Zhang Lin was actually looking forward to seeing the expressions of certain people when the things they had kept hidden for a lifetime were exposed by him.

As for that Zhang Qilin of the Zhang family, he shouldn't have had to bear so much either.

Why?

Why should everything be pressed onto one person?

Zhang Lin wanted to see if, once the secret was exposed, the so-called Ultimate behind the Bronze Gate could be uncovered.

He had wanted to do this as early as when he was reading the novel!

The original author dug holes and didn't fill them; it was truly hateful!

……

At this time, the archaeological team followed behind Master Zhang, and while watching him run faster and faster, they were also surprised to find that there were several empty holes in the tomb passage!

These were completely absent before!

Tian Zhen was full of astonishment as he ran, “Damn, when did these holes appear?”

“Why didn't we find them when we searched the tomb passage a few times before?”

The Fatty panted, “Maybe… maybe we should thank that ghost hand!”

“When it was wandering in the tomb passage, it must have opened the mechanisms we didn't notice!”

This explanation was very reasonable, but the lower the height of the cave entrance, the more they ran.

Eventually, everyone had to bend their waists to move forward!

This made everyone’s actions somewhat difficult!

Especially for someone with the Fatty’s physique, it was very unfriendly; as soon as he bent over, layers of meat piled up on his stomach, and after a long time, the squeezing was painful!

“I can’t do it… I can’t do it, Tian Zhen, there are gusts of cold wind in this cave, where does this lead to?”

Tian Zhen pushed the Fatty hard from behind to keep him moving forward.

“Hurry up and move, this cave is so narrow, if the dragon lice come in a while, you can just wait to be a midnight snack!”

“We are getting further and further away from Master Zhang!”

Hearing Tian Zhen’s scare tactics, the Fatty didn't dare to rest and could only continue moving forward.

By the end, they were almost crawling.

In some places, the Fatty’s physique almost couldn't pass through.

He had to take a deep breath first, shrinking his butt and stomach, to get through.

Just when everyone had been crawling in the cave like long worms for who knows how long,

the Fatty in the front suddenly shouted.

“There’s light! There’s light ahead! We’re going to get out!”

The people in the live stream room were all startled by the Fatty’s shout.

Sure enough, as soon as the Fatty finished speaking, they saw light appear in the dim screen.

Then, a scene that shocked all the viewers appeared in the lens!

On the screen was a huge natural rock cave, which looked incredibly large even in the lens.

There was a large crack at the top of the rock cave, with light shining down, and one could see that there was nothing to climb on the cave walls.

And on the opposite cave wall, it was densely packed with holes.

There were thousands of them; anyone with trypophobia would definitely not be able to stand it!

What shocked the audience the most was that in the middle of the cave, there was a large tree over a dozen stories high.

Countless thick vines were coiled around the large tree.

As long as it was a place visible in the cave, it was almost covered by vines.

It seemed like many things were hanging on the branches further inside.

When the wind blew and they shook, everyone realized that they were all animal carcasses!

And Tian Zhen also instantly understood that the so-called hand was simply the branches and vines of this large tree!

No wonder it was a miserable green, and as long as five fingers!

And below this cave, there was a stone corridor.

Starting from a small building like a sacrificial altar, it led all the way to the bottom of the giant tree.

At the end of the corridor, there was a stone platform with a dozen steps, on which a jade bed was placed, and there actually seemed to be a person lying on it!

Tian Zhen was almost squinting to look, and when he saw the person on the jade bed,

his heart trembled, and he said somewhat excitedly, “Professor Chen, look, is that a person?”

Professor Chen also tried hard to lean down to look, and after seeing clearly, his tone was trembling.

“It’s a person! That seems to be a sacrificial altar!”

“God, have we found the location of King Lu Shang’s corpse?”

“Heaven truly does not disappoint those who try!”

Everyone became excited because of Professor Chen’s words.

After tossing and turning in the tomb for a day and a night, they finally had a harvest.

Everyone couldn't help but think of Zhang Lin, the storyteller, teaching Master Zhang the Kui Star Kicking the Dipper to solve the blood corpse.

If the blood corpse hadn't been solved, the archaeological team would have had to withdraw from the ancient tomb by now.

Because the blood corpse only gave the archaeological team one day!

Facts proved that one day was simply not enough!

At this time, the Fatty pointed at the things hanging on the vines and shouted, “It’s Zhou Wen! He’s hanging upside down there!”

Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction the Fatty was pointing.

Sure enough, they saw Zhou Wen hanging upside down, with a thick vine wrapped around his foot.

And his own posture showed that he had lost consciousness and fainted.

Tian Zhen said somewhat anxiously, “It must be that when the vine was dragging Zhou Wen in the tomb passage, his head bumped everywhere and he fainted.”

“This is probably also the attack method of this plant; once entangled by it, it will swing the prey to hit the mountain wall, making the prey faint!”

Everyone who heard this stared at Zhou Wen with nervous expressions.
