Chapter 630
Ancient Emperors
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Ze collapsed from exhaustion and finally managed to get Tian Siyao ashore.
Tian Siyao was already exhausted and didn't even have the strength to climb ashore. If she hadn't gritted her teeth and persevered, she probably would have fallen.
After catching her breath, she struggled to her feet and looked around at the surrounding rock walls. She noticed that the uneven rock walls were engraved with many dense and complex symbols.
Although she didn't recognize the symbols, she had a vague idea of what they meant.
"Brother Chen, could there be demons or monsters sealed inside?"
"Shh..."
Chen Ze immediately made a shushing gesture, "There must be some kind of demon or monster sealed inside. If you're scared, stay here and don't run around. I'll go down and check."
After saying that, Chen Ze jumped into the thick layer of dust without waiting for Tian Siyao's reply.
Tian Siyao became even more uneasy.
She remembered that this was an underground tomb, and that the tomb contained many treasures.
But these treasures were buried under those mountains of soil!
What if Chen Ze went in the wrong direction, accidentally collapsed the underground tomb, and destroyed the contents?
As she thought about it, she became increasingly anxious and restless.
She didn't know how much time had passed when she suddenly heard the rustling sound of footsteps on withered branches and leaves, coming from afar and getting closer. She immediately held her breath and listened intently.
A moment later, she heard the rustling sound stop, followed by a soft crawling sound that was getting closer and closer to her, and she was instantly terrified.
Before she could escape, a strong stench wafted over, almost making her faint.
Immediately afterward, a dark shadow swept past and crashed straight into her arms. Just as she was about to scream, her keen sense of smell made her realize that the creature was a giant python. She immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be unconscious.
"Huh..."
The giant python became alert the moment it bumped into Tian Siyao, not only stopping but also raising its tail high.
Tian Siyao is still unconscious.
The giant python then swooped down again.
The moment it touched her clothes, Tian Siyao suddenly opened her eyes and, as the giant python retracted its tail, punched it hard on the head.
The python writhed in agony for two seconds before its massive body slid straight to the side and crashed heavily to the ground.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Tian Siyao retreated a meter away, nervously watching the dead giant python.
The head of that giant python was at least twice as thick as her waist!
Her punch, at most, only provided a brief obstacle to it.
She could even imagine that if the giant python hadn't been completely dead and had attacked her again, she would likely have been in grave danger.
Fortunately, the giant python had already died!
"Yao'er, are you alright?" After catching his breath, Chen Ze stood up from the pile of stones, supporting himself on his knees, and walked over to ask with concern.
"I'm fine..." Tian Siyao shook her head, then turned to Chen Ze, "Brother Chen, how are you?"
"I've rested enough. Shall we continue?"
"Okay, let's go."
After agreeing, Tian Siyao picked up the flashlight she had just used and followed Chen Ze.
Just then, her phone rang abruptly.
She immediately pressed the mute button.
Chen Ze frowned and muttered as he watched her movements, "This phone is really good!"
"Yes, but I don't know where this phone came from either."
"If you like it, I'll buy it for you later."
After saying that, Chen Ze bent down to pick up the broken flashlight from the ground.
Seeing this, Tian Siyao asked, "Brother Chen, don't you still have a flashlight? Why are you picking it up from the ground?"
"That flashlight was broken! I just threw it away." Tian Siyao paused for a moment, thinking to herself that Brother Chen's behavior today was really strange.
And at that moment, the flashlight Chen Ze picked up was clearly a new cell phone, yet he still chose to throw it away.
For some reason, it reminded her of a certain internationally renowned brand from her past life, a brand that specialized in selling counterfeit goods...
However, the thought only lingered in her mind for a moment before disappearing.
As Chen Ze picked up the flashlight and handed it back to her, he pointed to the phone and said, "This phone looks ordinary, but it has many functions. You might as well use it to check if there are any clues about this underground tomb."
Tian Siyao took it and glanced at it, and sure enough, she saw several interfaces.
There is navigation software available.
She tried it, then opened the photo album, and after browsing through all the albums on the phone, she locked two pictures.
The background in the first photo looks exactly like an ancient imperial palace, with countless carved railings, pavilions, and towers, all built of white marble.
The scene gave Tian Siyao a sense of familiarity.
Because she had visited an ancient imperial palace in her previous life.
The second photo shows the emperor's bedroom, which contains a lot of gold and silver jewelry, as well as many ancient books.
In addition, she even spotted a tomb in the photo!
However, only half of the tomb was visible; the other half was completely submerged within the various buildings of the palace complex, and she could not see it no matter what.
Upon seeing the pictures, Chen Ze blurted out, "Those must be ancient emperors."
Upon hearing this, Tian Siyao raised an eyebrow in puzzlement, "Are all the people inside dead?"
She remembered that in her previous life, she had visited a royal mausoleum where many princes, princesses, and concubines were buried.
In this life, she had also read in books that ancient royalty were not allowed to have their corpses left to rot in the wilderness.
"I'm not sure if there are any living people inside, but the tomb is intact and contains many rare and exotic plants."
“Since Brother Chen has confirmed that it is an ancient tomb, it means that my previous guess was not nonsense.”
After speaking, Tian Siyao stared intently at the photos and pondered.
The tomb contained not only rare and exotic plants, but also many weapons, and...
She saw some ancient writing in those photos!
This ancient script….
She had seen it once in a medical journal in her previous life. It was said that the meaning of ancient characters included the two characters 'yin and yang', which was very similar to what Chen Ze said about "the shame of the mysterious and yellow".
Even if they are not in the same place, there must be some similarities.
If she could figure out where she was, perhaps she could resolve her doubts.
Having made up her mind, she immediately pulled Chen Ze forward, "Brother Chen, let's hurry up and go."
"Okay." Chen Ze followed closely.
About fifteen minutes later.
The two finally entered another crevice in the rocks.
Less than five minutes after they entered the crevice, the male corpse that Chen Ze had previously blocked with a wooden stick suddenly sat up.
Following closely behind him, a man wearing a green robe, a full beard, and a mask emerged from behind the wall.
After Chen Ze turned around, Tian Siyao instinctively hid behind him.
"Who are you? Why are you here?"
While asking the questions, Chen Ze drew his sword and held it to the side of the male corpse's neck.
"Kid, don't be too arrogant. If you anger me, you won't be happy."
"Hmph! I, Chen Ze, am not easily intimidated!"
Chen Ze sneered and raised his longsword to stab the male corpse in the heart.
The male corpse quickly dodged. (End of Chapter)
