Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 938 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 26

Gu Wusi didn't want to waste time looking at everyone; she needed to get to the bronze gate to wait.

So he said directly, "The centipede is the symbol of the Winter and Summer Kingdom. The King of the Winter and Summer Kingdom, Wan Nu, coexisted with a giant centipede, and this is his tomb."

"How did you know?" Xie Yuchen asked.

Black Bear adjusted his sunglasses and looked at her with a half-smile.

“You have your ways of getting to the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, and I have my ways of finding out about these things.”

Gu Wusi said something that was more of an explanation than an explanation.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen knew he wouldn't get an answer and stopped asking.

They looked around inside but found nothing, so they left.

Continue walking back into the passageway until you see a hole that has been blown open in the ground, and a climbing rope at the entrance.

Xie Yuchen led his men to check the area and found no danger: "Quite a few people have gone down. Should we continue looking for a way, or go down?"

"The person who gave you the route didn't tell you?"

"The equipment has been unstable since it came in, with the signal coming in intermittently, and we haven't had time to process it yet."

"Get down." Gu Wusi made a decisive decision.

Anyway, you can go down from here; taking other routes would be a longer detour.

Upon hearing her words, Ajin and Xingchen immediately secured the climbing rope to the stake platform on the side.

Gu Wusi took the rope, fastened the buckle to his safety belt, and jumped down into the hole, sliding down.

Having a large group of people also presents challenges, as we also need to prepare these equipment.

If she were alone with her own people, she could have jumped.

Upon reaching the bottom, they found a tomb chamber filled with various stone sculptures. They didn't linger and quickly found an underground entrance.

"Master Hua, there's a mark inside. The people who came down might have gone in through here."

Xie Yuchen's men examined the area and came to this conclusion.

"Let's go down too." Xie Yuchen took the lead and was the first to jump in.

His men followed closely behind.

Gu Wusi and his two companions followed behind, with Hei Xiazi bringing up the rear.

The narrow cave passage is only wide enough for one person to walk through head-on, and it has many branching passages.

Fortunately, there are coded markers at intervals.

Following the markings, they walked to a path at the edge of a cliff, where they could hear the sound of flowing water.

"The road is a bit slippery, please walk slowly."

"Okay, Mr. Hua."

Xie Yuchen walked to the platform in front and told his men to go forward while he waited for Gu Wusi in place.

Looking across, I saw several streams of water flowing down the cliff face, like a waterfall.

"This is a hot spring, but something seems off about the cliff face opposite."

Gu Wusi took out a very bright flashlight and shone it over: "It's a centipede."

Upon hearing this, the group looked closely and discovered that the wall opposite, which appeared to be shimmering, was actually covered with countless insects.

Hei Xiazi walked over and put his hand on Gu Wusi's shoulder.

"It's enough to make your scalp tingle. These insects know to find a comfortable place to stay."

Xie Yuchen frowned slightly when he saw his frivolous actions.

Fortunately, Gu Wusi shook off Hei Xiazi's arm in the next moment.

They continued walking in, winding through the passages for a long time before finally reaching the depths of the mountain.

Looking out from a ventilation opening, they found themselves halfway up a mountainside, with a volcanic crater below.

Below lies an underground palace, and the main gate of the imperial mausoleum is not far away.

Slide down the cliff edge using a climbing rope, and you'll find yourself facing a long trail.

Because the mountain has been hollowed out, the surrounding area looks exceptionally vast, and you can't see the top of it.

There are many withered trees, stone figures, and stone horses on both sides of the tomb passage.

Because of its proximity to the crater, there is a very strong gas emanating from below.

Everyone put on gas masks and quickened their pace.

To avoid trouble, Gu Wusi kept his aura concealed for everyone the whole way.

She wanted to speed things up and didn't have time to play with the owls, so she led everyone directly to the broken bridge in front of the Imperial Mausoleum Square.

Below the bridge is a very high abyss, the bottom of which cannot be seen.

Gu Wusi didn't explain to anyone and simply led his men down first.

Xie Yuchen and Hei Xiazi exchanged a glance. They both knew they wouldn't get any information out of him, so they naturally followed him down.

When everyone went down to the bottom, they saw that there were funerary figurines here. The riverbed was completely dry, and yellow sand was floating around as they walked.

While the others were still observing the situation below, Gu Wusi had a clear direction and walked along the direction of the river's flow.

"Have you been here before?" Xie Yuchen caught up with Gu Wusi.

"No, but I know the route."

Hei Xiazi stared straight at her: "I'm getting more and more curious now. Why does the young lady of the Gu family know so much about what's in the tomb?"

"Curiosity killed the cat; you'd better not be curious."

Gu Wusi answered Hei Xiazi, and also glanced at Xie Yuchen, who was curious but silent.

"Isn't it said that being curious about someone is the beginning of liking them?" Black Bear grinned, looking quite shameless.

"Ignore him, he's glib and never serious."

Xie Yuchen first spoke to Gu Wusi, then looked at Hei Xiazi with disdain.

"Don't you know how old you are? Still flirting with young girls."

"That hurts, Flower Master. I don't look that much older than you guys. I'm not only handsome and have a great physique, but I'm also witty and humorous. Miss even teased me when we first met."

Black Bear raised an eyebrow slightly, and his smile was exceptionally bright.

Gu Wusi and Xie Yuchen both rolled their eyes at him as they listened.

As they spoke, they reached the deepest part of the canal and arrived at the entrance to the underground palace of the King of Wannu.

Upon entering, you first arrive at a wine cellar, where a large number of ancient wine vessels and sealed wine are stored.

It appears to be related to the sacrificial rites of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

Further on was a treasure room, dazzlingly filled with gold and silver artifacts, as well as jade and tributes from foreign tribes.

Although it was hard not to be a little excited by what they saw, they didn't go in; they just looked at the entrance and continued walking.

This looks like a trap; nothing will happen to get out.

But when he left, Gu Wusi secretly put the treasure into his spatial storage.

Continuing along the outer passageway, we found a hole that had been blown open, connecting to the other side.

After crawling through the hole, you'll see a similar passageway.

But after just one turn, we entered a tomb chamber.

This is a circular tomb chamber, with a huge coffin placed on a high platform in the center.

There were many centipede corpses on the ground, and bullet casings were everywhere.

Many people, all of whom were acquaintances, were sitting at the foot of the surrounding tomb walls.

There was A Ning and the people she brought, as well as Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi's group, and the injured Wu Sansheng was also there.
