Chapter 425 - Twin Fish Jade Pendant

There were countless murals carved in the hall. The murals were extremely vibrant, as if they had just been carved not long ago.

A bodyguard couldn’t help but ask, “Is this one of the tomb chambers in that imperial tomb?”

Everyone subconsciously looked at Chu Luo.

“No,” Chu Luo said. “The mural here is a side tomb in the xx dynasty’s imperial tomb.”

When Chu Luo said that, the bodyguards subconsciously studied it carefully.

Chu Luo said to Li Yan, “Looks like the other imperial tomb near that tomb 18 years ago was also brought over.”

Li Yan looked at her and was about to speak when a bodyguard suddenly exclaimed, “Look, there’s a mural moving on the ceiling!”

The two of them quickly looked up. Chu Luo threw a bead at the same time.

Dong!

There was a metallic sound.

Chu Luo and Li Yan looked at each other and thought of something at the same time.

Li Yan said, “Luoluo, laser gun.”

Chu Luo took out her laser gun and Li Yan took it and fired a few shots.

Looking at the melted metal that fell, the two of them frowned and said,

“It’s indeed Neeson’s robot.”

“Neeson is also here!”

Previously, Neeson had been deliberately let go by Li Yan. Even though the two of them had expected Neeson to come, they didn’t expect Neeson to come early and to have already gone down to the tomb.

“If Neeson is here, he must be hired by someone. The tomb chamber with the mirror and jade pendant we just passed doesn’t work on Neeson.”

Li Yan was silent for a few seconds before asking Chu Luo, “Can the twin fish jade pendant replicate robots?”

Chu Luo nodded. “Yes.”

Hearing this, the six bodyguards were alarmed when they thought about how the robots invented by Neeson could be replicated by the twin fish jade pendant. Perhaps many robots had already been replicated.

“Luoluo, give everyone a laser gun… Everyone, stay vigilant.”

“Yes!”

Not only had Chu Luo studied the material of Neeson’s robots before, but Li Yan had also asked his men to study it. Other than using this special laser gun to melt the entire robot, there was no other way to deal with it.

Li Yan was silent for a while before asking Chu Luo, “Does the seal on that tomb affect robots?”

Chu Luo thought for a while and nodded. “Yes.”

Hearing this, Li Yan’s cold expression finally relaxed a little. “You should know Neeson’s robots very well. We’ll think of a way to deal with all the robots blocking us.”

Chu Luo tilted her head and thought for a while. Suddenly, she thought of an idea and gestured for Li Yan to lean in.

Li Yan leaned forward slightly.

Chu Luo whispered into his ear.

Li Yan nodded and gestured to the bodyguards. “Let’s continue walking forward.”

After saying that, he held Chu Luo’s hand and walked towards another passageway.

The passages and tombs here had traces of tomb raiders entering. There were fresh footprints and blood in some places, and white bones in others. After walking for a while, they arrived in front of a stone door.

This stone door had obviously been forcefully opened. There were also traces of an explosion under the door frame.

There was another passageway behind the stone door.

This passageway was especially wide, and the carvings on both sides of the passageway were vivid and lifelike.

“Ha… look at the ground!”

One of the bodyguards pointed at the corpses on the ground and his expression changed.

On the ground of the passageway inside, there were not only a few corpses that had just died. Every corpse had arrows stuck into them. At the same time, a group of worms that looked like mutated beetles was crawling on them.

These worms were biting the flesh and blood of those corpses. They didn’t even let the bones off. Also, they emitted a chilling cracking sound.

“Those are corpse beetles. They only eat dead corpses, but they’re poisonous. Everyone, be careful not to touch them later.”

After Chu Luo finished speaking, she quickly sized up the inside. After thinking for a while, she took out a talisman and turned it into a paper effigy before swaggering in.

The paper effigy was originally walking well. After walking for another four to five meters, countless arrows suddenly shot down from all directions.

“Indeed.”

Chu Luo watched as the arrows instantly turned the paper effigy into a sieve and said to Li Yan, “There’s a mechanism inside. The people who came in front probably used these people as shields before going over.”

Li Yan stared at the corpses coldly and asked Chu Luo, “Since there are worms here, is the thing that can cure your form teacher’s poison nearby?”

“The Gu in Teacher Gao’s body is fed by a poisonous plant in the ancient tomb. We have to find that kind of poisonous plant and find the antidote near it.”

Li Yan nodded and said to her, “Think of a way to get us over.”

“Okay, everyone, come closer and follow me and Yan.”

After saying that, Chu Luo and Li Yan stepped in.

The moment they entered, a barrier shielded them.

The six bodyguards followed closely behind them and were protected by the barrier.

After they walked a few meters away, countless arrows quickly shot down from all directions. These arrows were bounced to the ground a meter away from them.

The bodyguards finally felt relieved.

Everyone quickly walked out of the passageway and arrived at the three-way junction.

Standing at the intersection, Chu Luo sensed it and said to Li Yan, “There’s danger on both sides.”

Li Yan thought for a moment and asked, “Which path leads to the door of that tomb?”

Chu Luo pointed at one of them.

“Then let’s take this one.”

The two of them turned around and walked to the right.

Not long after everyone left, a bodyguard walking at the back suddenly turned around and glanced behind. He then bumped into a bodyguard beside him. “Did you feel something running past us just now?”

“No.” After saying that, the bodyguard deliberately tightened his grip on the gun and turned around to take a look.

When Li Yan, who was walking in front, heard this, he stopped.

“What’s going on?”

“Master, I felt something run over from another path just now. It was especially fast.”

Li Yan thought for a moment and said to everyone, “Everyone, be careful.”

“Yes.”

Everyone continued to walk forward.

After walking for a while, someone behind suddenly exclaimed.

Chu Luo’s body flashed and she attacked at the same time.

A dumpling was fixed in place half a meter away from the bodyguard with her talisman.

The bodyguards’ hearts skipped a beat.

Chu Luo thought for a while and gave a talisman paper to each bodyguard. “There are many dumplings in the ancient tomb. If you see them, just stick this talisman on their foreheads. Don’t panic.”

Chu Luo spoke too calmly, making the bodyguards, who were originally palpitating, suddenly feel that the dumplings that had been rumored to be terrifying and fierce, were only so-so.

Everyone felt more confident. As they walked over, the bodyguards also took care of a few dumplings.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the main tomb chamber.

The main tomb chamber was very majestic, like a palace. There was a coffin on the steps in front.

The bodyguards couldn’t help but whisper.

“Is that an emperor’s coffin?”

“I don’t think so. This hall doesn’t conform to the layout of the imperial tomb.”

“That’s true. The main tomb of an emperor can’t be so shabby. Also, the auspicious dragon pattern on the surrounding pillars is a little different.”

Chu Luo listened to the discussions of the bodyguards and looked around. It was indeed different. The dragon pattern of an emperor was exquisite, especially its claws. Every claw on it had to be missing a finger.

“This isn’t the main tomb chamber.”

After saying that, Chu Luo walked to the coffin.

A sign was erected in front of the coffin. There was Sanskrit text written on it.

“What’s written here?” Li Yan asked.

Chu Luo looked at it for a while before telling him, “This coffin can’t be opened. The thing inside is cursed. As long as someone opens it, something ominous will happen.”

After saying that, she looked up at the coffin and suddenly frowned. “The coffin has already been opened by someone.”

Li Yan followed her gaze. The coffin lid had indeed been opened before. There were still traces of movement on it, and there was a small gap on one side, proving that the person who opened it hadn’t had time to close the lid properly.

“But the things inside are still there.”

Just as Chu Luo finished speaking, a bodyguard quickly said, “Everyone, look. That side room is glowing.”

Everyone subconsciously turned around. There were lamps in the tombs here, and the light in the side room was different from the light from the Eternal Lamp.

Chu Luo walked towards the door.

Li Yan grabbed her wrist.

“Wait.”

After Li Yan finished speaking, he quickly took out something from his pocket and threw it inside.

After a while, cracking sounds came from inside.

The two of them looked at each other. Li Yan said to the bodyguards, “Let’s go.”

Everyone prepared to leave the tomb and walk towards another path.

However, after taking a few steps, a bodyguard suddenly let out a muffled groan. Then, his body seemed to be lifted by something, and his toes left the ground.

Li Yan’s body swayed and he quickly fired a laser gun from the side.

A robot with its waist melted appeared in front of everyone.

Li Yan continued to shoot at the robot.

Soon, the robot dissolved.

The bodyguard was saved.

Two bodyguards immediately walked over and asked concernedly, “Are you okay?”

“My arm is broken.”

After the bodyguard finished speaking, the other bodyguard quickly reconnected the fracture area for him and applied the special medicine Chu Luo had given them. A bodyguard standing at the side took out an anchor plate and bandage.

Soon, the bodyguard’s arm was secured.

Chu Luo and Li Yan were still standing there.

Chu Luo said, “Let’s lure Neeson over to this tomb.”

Li Yan nodded with a dark expression and said to the bodyguards, “Everyone, move aside.”

After saying that, he also walked to the side.
