Finally, Tangbao obediently nodded her little head, "Okay! Senior Brother will lead the way, and Tangbao will bring up the rear!"
"good!"
Senior Brother Lin laughed. Yes, his little junior sister is still so cute!
Lin Qinghua glanced at his father with envy, and said without backing down, "Junior Uncle, if there's anything that needs to be done, you can let me do it too!"
"Alright! I'll leave my nephew to you!" Tang Bao nodded generously and patted Lin Qinghua on the shoulder.
Everyone took out their own flashlights, and Senior Brother Lin led the way, with everyone following behind him as they went inside.
It seems that Liu Zixing and his team spent a lot of effort to dig this road. It is wide enough for an adult to walk upright, but the road is a bit narrow, and only one person can walk at a time.
It can only be said that Liu Zixing went to great lengths for his own convenience.
As Tang Bao and the others entered the tomb passage, a dark secret chamber deep within the ancient tomb was illuminated only by a small yellow light. Liu Zixing suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the stone door of the secret chamber, and a chilling light flashed in his sinister eyes.
"Someone's here! It must be the Taoist sect coming looking for us!"
Liu Zixing hadn't expected that the Taoist sect would find him so quickly; he had truly underestimated them before.
Then, Liu Zixing chuckled sinisterly, "Heh, since you're here, then enjoy the gifts I've prepared for you!"
Although there was no surveillance in the entire ancient tomb, Liu Zixing had set up an array. He himself was inside the tomb, and as long as the array was in place, he could sense whether anyone was coming in from outside.
Tang Bao and the others also sensed the fluctuations of the array around them, knowing that Liu Zixing must have known about their arrival. They walked cautiously along the way, and it took them three or four minutes to reach the end of the passage.
"Splash!"
Senior Brother Lin paused, kicking several pebbles that landed in the large pit in front of him.
Tang Bao, who was following behind, didn't notice and bumped her little head directly into Senior Brother Lin's thigh.
"Ouch!" Tangbao covered her little head and cried out in a babyish voice.
Senior Brother Lin felt the impact on his thigh, suppressed the anger and gloom on his face, turned around and looked behind him. Tang Bao, with her chubby little hands, held up her little head and looked up at Senior Brother Lin with teary eyes.
Upon seeing that his junior uncle had been hit, Lin Qinghua immediately began to scold his father, "Dad, what are you doing! Why did you stop? You even hit your junior uncle!"
Senior Brother Lin, "..."
What do you mean by "hit Tangbao"? It was clearly Tangbao who hit him, okay?
However, when facing Tang Bao, Senior Brother Lin readily admitted his mistake, "Yes, yes, it's Senior Brother's fault!"
"It's okay, it's okay, Senior Brother definitely didn't mean it!" Tang Bao put down her little hand and waved it, revealing a sweet smile as she waved her little hand.
Senior Brother Lin chuckled and patted Tang Bao's forehead. His junior sister was so well-behaved and sensible; she had even come up with an excuse for him.
"Hmph, Junior Uncle is so magnanimous!"
Senior Brother Lin glanced sideways at his son, who was always causing trouble. Could he just give up on this son?
Tang Bao tilted her head and asked Senior Brother Lin with concern, "Senior Brother, why did you stop?"
Senior Brother Lin shone his flashlight, sighed, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. His voice was low and filled with intense anger and killing intent, "It's full of corpses!"
"A corpse?"
As everyone stepped forward, they saw that the main burial chamber of the ancient tomb was a large pit filled with a large number of corpses.
With so many corpses, everyone couldn't help but frown, their expressions turning grim.
"Damn it! This Liu Zixing is truly heartless and insane!"
"He must be brought to justice as soon as possible!"
"Many of them were from modern times, so Liu Zixing must have killed them!"
Even after just a cursory glance, everyone could tell that the corpses here belonged to people from different eras.
The first batch of mummified corpses with tattered, dirty black strips of cloth scraped off their bodies were probably those who were buried alive with the deceased and were later killed in the burial pit.
The reason they didn't turn into skeletons is probably because the original owner of this ancient tomb set up an array inside, and the dry, oxygen-deficient environment caused their bodies to shrivel and become mummies that could be controlled.
This likely stems from the belief of the tomb's owner that the mummified corpses could serve and protect him.
There was also a group of more recognizable modern people, both men and women, whose appearances were extremely tragic, clearly indicating that they had suffered horrific torment before their deaths.
Therefore, regardless of the era in which the corpses are from, the resentment they carry should be the heaviest.
"Bad guys, bad guys! They're all really bad guys!"
In Tang Bao's mind, both the tomb owner who excavated the ancient tomb and Liu Zixing who now owns the tomb are terrible people.
For their own selfish reasons, they all killed so many people together.
Senior Brother Lin nodded in agreement, "Yes, he's a bad guy. We absolutely cannot let this bad guy continue to get away with it. We must arrest that evil cultivator!"
"That's right! Arrest him! Tangbao is going to arrest him and beat him up!"
As she spoke, Tangbao waved her chubby little fists and kicked her little legs in the air, as if Liu Zixing were right in front of her.
"Yes, with Tang Bao here, we can definitely catch that big bad guy and teach him a lesson he won't forget!"
Not to mention Tang Bao, even the adults were furious. Such a person absolutely cannot be allowed to continue to get away with it.
Just then, the mummified corpse, which had been lying motionless in the pit, started to move, making a "crackling" sound as its bones collided.
Although these are mummies, they are not much different from skeletons, especially the first batch of mummies, which are now just skin and bones.
"Holy crap! It moved! The mummified corpse moved!"
Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone turned to look at the corpse in the pit.
Tangbao blinked her eyes and said in her childish voice, "There's a formation here!"
Senior Brother Lin glanced around and nodded grimly, "Yes, it must be Liu Zixing using an array to drive these mummies!"
So, the reason why Liu Zixing stayed in the ancient tomb with so many mummies was that he planned to use them as tools to guard the pass!
Liu Zixing is now controlling these mummies to hinder their progress, or perhaps he intends to use them to kill them.
"So many mummies! There are so few of us, we're no match for them!"
"I feel like if they all charged at me at once, they could crush me to death!"
