âEveryone knows that Xu Fu is Emperor Qinâs most trusted individual. When Emperor Qinâs first sat on the throne, he personally asked Xu Fu to design his tomb! In other words, every single trap here had been singlehandedly designed by Xu Fu! After the tomb was built, Xu Fu was assigned to a journey to look for the Immortality Pill. He then took this opportunity to permanantly stay in Japan and never returned to Qin again. Some years later, Emperor Qin died. In order to make sure that the location of Emperor Qinâs tomb would remain a secret, all tens of thousands of his people who helped with the tomb were sealed within it! This means that Xu Fu would be the only person left in this world who knows the true location of Emperor Qinâs tomb. Wishing for his future offspring to enter the tomb one day, Xu Fu decided to use a secret technique to craft nine pieces of Orochi Scales!â
After hearing the explanation, everyone nodded their heads indicating that they were familiar about the subject and had heard about this before. However, doubt was still sewn on everyoneâs faces. For one, they could not figure out why Chen Xiaobei would them about it.
âStill canât understand? This tomb was built by Xu Fu and the scales were supposed to be passed to his offspring. Of course the evil spirits treated us as allies the moment we unlocked the doors with the scales! That is why the fires were automatically lit just now!â exclaimed Chen Xiaobei.
âOhh⦠now it makes sense to me! Xu Fu was considered to be one of the most talented prodigies during the Qin Dynasty! The defensive formation that he setup here is strong enough to defend the tomb from all kinds of elites on Warth! His offspring would have been killed here if he didnât leave a backdoor for them!â said Long Zishan.
âThat must be it! The backdoor was built when Xu Fu constructed this tomb! With the nine pieces of Orochi Scales, his offspring could do whatever they wanted here!â said Six Ear-Macaque and Xiangyu agreed as well.
From afar, Dio nodded his head to indicate that he too agreed with what Chen Xiaobei had just said.
âSince the tomb has recognized us as the offspring of Xu Fu, the hundreds of people that charged forward just now should be safe, right?â asked Liu Xuanxin while staring at the path behind the jade doors.
All the spirits along the way were killed by Pure Yang Spiritual Items when they charged forward earlier. Seemingly, it was a smooth journey for them.
âIf we walk the path without making any hostile moves, I can assure you nothing untoward would happen to us! However, the moment those idiots attacked the sprits, all of them are obviously now considered as enemies!â said Chen Xiaobei.
âEnemies?!! Are you trying to say that the defensive formation would no longer consider us as Xu Fuâs offspring?â asked Liu Xuanxin.
âThatâs right!â said Chen Xiaobei with his head nodded.
Rumbleâ¦
A loud rumbling sound could be heard from the path.
âArghh⦠Help me! What kind of monster is thatâ¦? So powerful⦠this is too powerful⦠Save meâ¦â
Soon, all hundreds who ventured in weapons blazing started to beg for someone to save them in an extremely hysterical manner. Clearly, they were attacked by some kind of monster as they walked down the path.
âOh god! Xiaobei! You got it right again!â shouted Liu Xuanxin, eyes wide open in shock.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Everyone around him were filled with awe by Chen Xiaobeiâs sharp mind. His excellent deduction skills had once again allowed him to foresee the threat ahead of him. Naturally, those who refused to listen to him had pay the hefty price of their lives.
âFaction Leader Chen! What should we do now?â asked Long Zishan.
Dio who was quite a distance away propped up his ears as well. The seemingly lethal and awful threat within the tomb was so frightening it had made elites like Long Zishan and Dio lose their zeal to continue exploring. Both of them were hoping that they could use the backdoor that Xu Fu designed for his offspring to reach the end of the path.
âThereâs nothing we can do about it! The moment those idiots slaughter the spirits on the path, all of us here would be considered intruders! Perhaps⦠tombraiders! Or even worse, the murderers of Xu Fuâs offspring! The nine pieces of Orochi Scales are useless now! We will have to rely on our own strengths to defeat the threat here!â
âWhat?!â
Everyone was shocked when they heard Chen Xiaobeiâs dismal words.
Even Dio, who had been awfully quiet all along could not help but voice out his thoughts.
âMr. Chen! Is this true?! Are the Orochi Scales useless now?!â
âItâs true! The Orochi Scales are meant solely for Xu Fuâs offspring, and Iâm pretty sure that Xu Fu would have personally listed down the doâs and donâts! Those idiots had just broken the rules! Hence, the defensive formation will no longer consider us as friendly allies!â said Chen Xiaobei.
âXiaobei! What were you thinking? Since you knew that the Orochi Scales would be rendered useless the moment they attacked the spirits, why didnât you stop them then?!â asked a bewildered Liu Xuanxin.
âI would have stopped those bunch of idiots charging forward if I knew the consequences earlier! Things have just taken a turn for the worse with the backdoor now gone!â said Xiangyu and Six-Eared Macaque.
Even they could not understand what Chen Xiaobei was thinking earlier.
âMr. Chen! What were you thinking huh?â asked Long Zishan with a frowning brow.
At that moment, everyone turned around staring at Chen Xiaobei. It was as if he had just made a stupid decision.
âMy idea is really simple! If everyone wants to rely on the Orochi Scales to get to the end, I will not get anything from this tomb since Iâm the weakest person here! I might even lose my life along the way! Now that they have destroyed the backdoor and are forced to fight with powerful enemies, I might just be able to make use of this chaotic situation to get my hands of the final prize!â
Filled with shock, they thought that it was a dumb decision to let those idiots to destroy the backdoor. After hearing Chen Xiaobei out, they finally realized that Chen Xiaobei was merely creating an opportunity for himself by letting them make the obvious mistake. Immediately, Xiangyu, Liu Xuanxin, Six-Eared Macaque, and the rest of them changed the way they looked at Chen Xiaobei.
âFaction Leader Chen is no ordinary person! You see a bigger picture than all of us!â praised Long Zishan.
âYou are calm when you made the decision! Iâm truly impressed by you!â said Dio with squinted eyes while checking Chen Xiaobei out.
âPlease donât tease me anymore! Letâs walk down the path and see what kind of monsters could cause such a racket!â
