Chapter 123

The four factions—the Grave Robbers, the Hill Movers, the Mountain Removers, and the Ridge Unloaders—have all unveiled the tip of the iceberg to the world.

But even this tip has already left many people incredibly excited, obsessed, and unable to pull themselves away!

The world of grave robbing is simply too fascinating!

Whether it is the secret Hill Mover technique, the Kui Star Kick, which can shatter a zombie’s spine.

Or the Grave Robber’s secret art of Feng Shui, which can see through illusions.

Both have opened the door to a new world for the public!

It has let everyone know that in this world, there are such ways to enter a tomb, and people can be this impressive!

Now, while Zhang Lin’s story of the Nine Gates is not yet finished, the popularity of the four grave-robbing factions has already been hyped to an extreme high.

People are already counting the days, looking forward to Zhang Lin’s storytelling!

Surely, the tomb-robbing exploits of these four factions will be even more spectacular!

Seeing the massive influence brought about by a casual act, Zhang Lin felt satisfied.

He looked at Sheng Sheng Sheng Man, who was sitting opposite him with a face full of shock.

He suddenly asked, "This little fatty, he’s not bad, right?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man looked at Zhang Lin suspiciously and said, "Listening to Mr. Zhang, why do I smell something different..."

Zhang Lin paused for a moment, then began to laugh.

This young lady is quite sharp; not only are her ears keen, but her nose is too!

With just that one sentence, Zhang Lin had made her suspect a connection between him and Wang Pangzi.

Zhang Lin rubbed his nose, "What are you talking about! The Grave Robbers have finally appeared, so my four major grave-robbing factions are finally complete."

Since the livestream was still ongoing, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man knew she shouldn't say too much.

Even if Zhang Lin had secrets, they were not for a lowly server like her to inquire about.

Zhang Lin was a distinguished guest of Yin Yin Nanfeng, so she naturally had to be extremely respectful.

Her previous words had just slipped out; since Zhang Lin didn't want to say more, she was sensible enough not to ask further.

At this moment, the archaeological team’s work had come to a temporary halt after a day of high-intensity turmoil.

Almost everyone was exhausted, and Professor Chen began arranging for everyone to move away from the stone bed to rest.

It was estimated that the autopsy would have to wait until tomorrow.

After all, many archaeological team members had been brawling just now and had all sustained some injuries, requiring treatment.

Seeing this, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man knew that her slacking off for the day was over.

It was likely that when the archaeological team started their operations tomorrow, it would be the busiest time for the Crescent Hotel!

She probably wouldn't even have time to watch the livestream.

Thinking of this, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man said, "Mr. Zhang, we need to end this livestream."

"Before we close, could you tell us why that Green-Eyed Fox Corpse looks like a fox?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lin nodded and said, "Very well, I will gift everyone a small story."

…….

Hearing that Zhang Lin was going to tell a story, the viewers immediately became excited.

The livestream chat was once again flooded with Carnivals!

Everyone believed that this fox-faced man was born with a deformity, because no normal person would look like that.

Of course, that’s excluding those who had botched plastic surgery!

The male corpse’s face was too sharp and smooth, without any hair, truly looking like a hairless old fox.

Such a fox face that could induce hallucinations, and which was ranked second among the ten great ghosts of ancient tombs, must have a significant background.

Many people even started to speculate out of thin air.

[I feel like this thing isn't even human at all!]

[It must still be human; it just looks a bit terrifying.]

[You call this just a bit terrifying? I’d have nightmares just looking at him a few times.]

[I think it’s just a natural deformity, nothing so mysterious!]

[Do you think this thing is hereditary? Would the Green-Eyed Fox Corpse’s children also look like this?]

[Damn, sister, your taste is too heavy! You’re already thinking about the next generation! With him looking like that ghost, how could anyone possibly marry him!]

Seeing that the viewers' discussion was getting increasingly off-track.

Zhang Lin didn't waste any words and started telling the story directly.

"Everyone, in fact, this Green-Eyed Fox Corpse was not born this way; he could be said to be a chosen person."

"It just so happens that the Grave Robber of the four major factions has appeared, which makes it convenient to talk about this Green-Eyed Fox Corpse."

"Do you all know that the more orthodox a lineage is, the more rules it has!"

"The Grave Robbers have one rule, which can be summarized as: when the rooster crows and the lamp goes out, do not rob the grave!"

When the rooster crows and the lamp goes out, do not rob the grave?!

Many people were completely confused upon hearing this.

Where would there be lamps in an ancient tomb? And how could one hear a rooster crow?

This statement sounded quite contradictory!

Sheng Sheng Sheng Man also looked at Zhang Lin with some confusion.

Zhang Lin continued, "This lamp refers to the candle that a Grave Robber must light in the southeast corner of the tomb chamber before opening the coffin."

"As the saying goes: Humans light the candle, ghosts blow out the lamp!"

"If this candle in the southeast corner goes out while opening the coffin."

"Then no matter what stage the progress is at, the Grave Robber must put down all the antiques already collected and return them to the coffin."

"At the same time, they must bow to the coffin and exit the ancient tomb!"

"And the sound of the rooster crowing is also peculiar; clearly, deep underground in an ancient tomb, one shouldn't be able to hear a rooster crow at all."

"But if the sound of a rooster crowing suddenly rings out, then the Grave Robber must do exactly the same as when the lamp goes out."

"This is a unique rule of the Grave Robbers, rumored to be a pact between the Grave Robbers' founder and the underworld!"

"This pact is what keeps the Grave Robbers alive! After all, some tomb owners are extremely fierce existences."

"Taking things from such fierce beings depends on whether one has enough skill!"

The viewers were completely stunned upon hearing this.

Grave Robbers can have a pact with the underworld?

What kind of background does this Grave Robber founder have? Why does it feel like he’s quite a character?

Watching a livestream is not the same as listening to Zhang Lin’s live storytelling; even if there were questions, they couldn't be asked immediately.

This made many people anxious, and the chat was moving so fast that one couldn't even see what everyone was saying.

Zhang Lin casually answered a few questions.

"Why the Grave Robbers can have a so-called pact with the underworld is a secret of the Grave Robber faction."

"You all just need to know that Grave Robbers must abide by this tradition, otherwise disaster will strike."

"And the appearance of this Green-Eyed Fox Corpse stems from a Grave Robber who didn't follow the rules."

"It is said that one day, a Grave Robber was robbing an ancient tomb."

"After opening the coffin, he discovered that there was actually a green-eyed fox lying on the corpse inside!"

"In the grave-robbing trade, foxes and tabby cats are both classified as things with demonic nature."

"Having a fox lying on the tomb owner’s corpse is already a very bad omen."

"At this time, that Grave Robber should have put everything back exactly as it was!"

"But that Grave Robber lacked sufficient cultivation; he was unwilling to give up and hesitated, unable to make a decision."

"Just then, the candle in the southeast corner of the tomb chamber suddenly went out, and the sound of a rooster crowing rang in the Grave Robber’s ears."

"This was a warning from the founder; under normal circumstances, no matter how far the grave robbing had progressed, the items had to be put down and the person had to retreat."

"But this Grave Robber was bold due to his high skill, and driven by greed, he kept a jade toad."

Hearing this, Sheng Sheng Sheng Man couldn't help but let out an 'ah'.

Breaking the rules of the trade, whether in ancient times or now, is an extremely serious issue!

Grave Robbers engage in the business of robbing tombs and are often accompanied by corpses.

They should be even more in awe of such mysterious claims!
