Chapter 722 The Real and Fake Tomb Chambers
Kong Wange clenched her hands, forcefully suppressing the despair in her heart.
They are not completely out of danger yet, and now is not the time to let these emotions get in the way.
She told herself this countless times before finally letting out a long breath and forcing back the tears in her eyes.
Wan Qingzhou, observing her emotions clearly, sighed after a while and said, "That kid Murong Ting is not bad to you. Let's think of other ways together when we get back; perhaps there will be other opportunities."
Knowing that Wan Qingzhou had been secretly taking care of her all these years, it's not surprising that she would know about Murong Ting.
If she couldn't think of a solution, would Wan Qingzhou have any other ideas?
But I was just trying to comfort her.
Kong Wange pursed her lips and nodded, without saying much.
After coming down from the cave, the group walked through a long tunnel.
It was pitch black all around. During the fight, everyone's belongings were mostly lost, and now only a small flashlight that Qin Feng carried with him was providing light.
Those who escaped by crawling into the cave weren't just from Qin Feng's side; Tang Zhi's men also did, but they suffered heavy losses, and only a few managed to escape.
At this moment, most of them knew they were outnumbered and outmatched, so they kept their heads down and tried to minimize their presence by remaining silent, in case Qin Feng and his group got upset and killed them all.
Qin Feng wasn't unaware of them; he simply couldn't be bothered with them.
Tang Zhi is probably already buried in the tomb. These subordinates are unfamiliar to him; they must just be minor figures.
He's just following Tang Zhi to make a living, doing whatever he's told; his heart isn't necessarily that bad.
So he simply allowed them to follow them, but secretly instructed Shen Li to keep a close eye on them to prevent them from having any bad intentions.
The road was very long, so long that Hou Kai and his friends were initially quite cautious, but after walking along without encountering anything, they became distracted and started bickering.
Old Qi complained to Hou Kai: "Brother Kai, you said that the last one was thrown to you, why didn't you hug it?"
Hou Kai turned and glared at him: "You still have the nerve to say that? If you had just pried the drug out of the corpse's mouth back then, would all these problems have arisen?"
Old Qi knew he was in the wrong, so he kept quiet.
Who told him to be scared? He panicked the moment he saw the medicine stuck in his throat.
"Hey, do you think Sister Wan Ge will be very sad?" Old Qi whispered.
Han Xu turned around and flicked him on the forehead: "Shut up, no one will think you're mute."
Old Qi: "..."
"Hey, look, it's bright ahead!" Ayan suddenly said, pointing ahead.
"Holy crap, it really is!" Hou Kai was stunned, then turned to Qin Feng and the others and called out, "Boss, Sister Wange, look, there's a house up ahead with lights on!"
Kong Wange and Qin Feng looked in that direction, and their steps suddenly stopped.
Looking at the faint orange light ahead, Kong Wange suddenly felt a surge of warmth in her heart: "Let's hurry up and go take a look."
Qin Feng glanced at her and Wan Qingzhou, nodded, and then said to the people around him, "Everyone, stay alert, just in case."
"yes!"
Before long, they arrived at the stone house.
Qin Feng, Kong Wange, and Wan Qingzhou have moved to the front.
Qin Feng turned to Wan Qingzhou: "Senior, can you spot any traps or mechanisms nearby?"
Wan Qingzhou walked around and then turned back: "It's just an ordinary house, nothing special."
Hearing this, Qin Feng felt relieved and looked at Kong Wange again: "Shall we go in and take a look?"
Kong Wange nodded and stepped into the house first.
Turning a corner and entering the main room, everyone discovered that the room was surprisingly large and decorated in a very luxurious manner.
The walls were covered with murals, and there were many niches carved into the walls to hold oil lamps. The men lit the oil lamps with a lighter.
By the light, they could see that facing them was a strangely shaped Buddha statue. It was at least ten meters tall, had six arms, three heads, and a long tail.
If it weren't for its somewhat benevolent appearance, its eerie shape alone would be enough to make one feel uneasy.
Upon entering the room, everyone unconsciously lowered their voices.
"Don't you guys think this room looks warm, but it's actually freezing cold?" Old Qi whispered.
"This is underground." Han Xu implied that it must be much colder here than outside.
Old Qi chuckled and said, "That's not what I meant. It just feels... even colder here than in the tunnel we just left."
Ayan nodded in agreement: "My nose is all red from the cold."
When the group looked, they saw that it was true; Ayan's nose was as red as a strawberry.
Hou Kai was about to tease him when he caught something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly stopped, then exclaimed in surprise: "Boss, Sister Wan Ge, Uncle Wan, there's a coffin over there!"
Upon hearing this, Kong Wange, Qin Feng, and Wan Qingzhou quickly went over.
After passing a huge screen, they indeed saw a coffin.
If the coffins seen in the previous tombs were already breathtakingly magnificent, then seeing this one before us made us realize that even a small fry pales in comparison.
The coffin was four or five meters long and more than two meters wide. If it weren't for the screen blocking it, they would never have noticed it until now.
The coffin glowed softly in the orange light. It was still made of Phoebe zhennan wood, but its quality was far superior to that of other coffins—its grain was finer and its luster was clearer.
The exquisite and complex patterns carved on the entire coffin are something that cannot be matched by machines today.
Everyone crowded around the coffin in amazement, but Kong Wange could hear her own heart beating a little fast.
She glanced at Wan Qingzhou and Qin Feng beside her; both of them looked thoughtful.
Kong Wange then asked, "What...do you think?"
Why is there another coffin here, and why is it a hundred times more impressive than the one outside?
Qin Feng looked back at the two of them, knowing that they were probably thinking the same thing, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that we have all been deceived."
Wan Qingzhou's lips curled into a relaxed, playful smile: "This is the real main burial chamber."
Hearing them say that, Kong Wange felt a sense of relief.
It seems they were indeed thinking the same thing—the tomb chamber outside, the coffin, the corpse—were all fake! It was a smokescreen set up by the tomb owner.
If the real tomb is here, is the real elixir also here?
Kong Wange's eyes lit up.
She now has a deep understanding of what it feels like to escape from a desperate situation.
One moment she thought Murong Ting was beyond saving, but the next moment a glimmer of hope appeared, rekindling her hope.
Qin Feng knew what she was thinking. He turned to look at his subordinates, then looked away and then at the few of Tang Zhi's men who had followed them in.
The four or five people noticed Qin Feng's gaze and instantly became trembling with fear.
