Chapter 326

“Boss, I feel like there’s an extremely large opportunity for me in this ancient tomb . ”

“How do you know?” Long Chen was a bit flabbergasted .

“Look boss, on these murals, the leading role is mostly this elder creating something . I think this ancient tomb is very likely the tomb of a Forging Master . Craftsmen usually bring their life’s experiences and insights with them to their tomb, not even leaving them to their disciples,” said Guo Ran .

Long Chen nodded slightly . Guo Ran’s thinking was reasonable . Even since ancient times, craftsmen all liked to hold back their trade secrets .

Most grand figures had all kept some of their learnings private and brought them into their tombs or even coffins . This led to later generations losing out on many cultivation techniques and Battle Skills .

Later, many people set their eyes on those ancient tombs . Of course, it was only possible to disturb the tombs of people without descendants .

If you were to dig up the coffins of people’s ancestors, that would be an unforgivable offense . No one would do something like that .

But it was an absolute fact that the majority of experts all liked to do something like this when they died . They would bring the things they were most proud of in their lifetimes to their coffins .

Sometimes when an inheritance had been severed, it was possible to enter an ancestor’s tomb to revive that inheritance .

As for this ancient tomb in front of them, it had to come from a shockingly distant past . If this tomb’s master had left behind their inheritance, it would definitely be amazing .

Long Chen felt that Guo Ran’s inference was very likely . He couldn’t help being a bit disappointed .

That was because he had seen the image of those nine stars twinkling in the sky . He thought that perhaps he could find some clues about the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art inside the tomb .

But Long Chen realized that other than that one mural with the nine stars in the background, the other murals were all entirely related to forging items .

This ancient tomb’s master was most likely a Forging Master, and the murals were most likely in commemoration of his work .

Long Chen had no interest in forging items, but Guo Ran was now pretty much obsessed with it, so this really was a huge opportunity for him .

The two of them continued examining the murals . Now the people inside the lounge had been split into three parties: the Righteous party, the Corrupt party, and Long Chen’s party .

Although Long Chen and Guo Ran were just two people, no one dared look down on them in the slightest .

“Oh? There’s a circle in this mural . ”

Suddenly, a Righteous disciple saw an extremely unremarkable circle in one of the murals .

That circle was the eye of a ferocious beast in the mural . However, the beast was extremely lifelike, and so it was a bit odd for it’s only eye to be so perfectly round .

At the beginning, no one had noticed that oddity, as this kind of beast had already gone extinct in the outside world . None of them had even heard of it . They had all just a.s.sumed this beast’s eye was just like that .

However, these people had been searching for several days now without finding any major clues . Thus they had begun to pay attention to the smaller details, and finally found this eye was a bit strange .

Getting even closer, he realized there was a b.u.t.ton in the center of the eye . That person lightly pressed on it .

Suddenly, the ancient tomb began to violently shake . Everyone’s expressions changed . If the ancient tomb collapsed, they would all definitely die .

The ground at the center of the lounge suddenly split open, revealing a large set of stone stairs going straight down .

For such a pa.s.sageway to appear all of a sudden, both the Righteous and Corrupt disciples instantly charged over .

But they had only gone in a couple steps down when holes suddenly appeared on the walls and countless arrows shot out, instantly taking over ten lives .

The pa.s.sageway was only three meters wide, and in such a narrow s.p.a.ce, there was nowhere to dodge . Furthermore, with people charging in behind you, there was no way to retreat . Thus, all of them that had entered had been turned into hedgehogs .

All of them had thought that the treasure would be right past this hole, and they were afraid of others reaching it first .

However, the people who had thought that were comparatively weak . The stronger people hadn’t been afraid of others getting there first, as even if others obtained it, they could still take it from them .

Now that this had happened, everyone retreated, looking at this opening in shock . They now realized that they couldn’t even see the bottom of this hole .

Both Long Chen and Guo Ran were sneering . Did this group of idiots think that the craftsmen owner of this tomb would be so foolish?

If there really was an inheritance, how could they not leave trials or traps for people? Did they think it was so easy to rob tombs?

There was definitely a correct way to get to the true treasure . Without using that method, there would be all sorts of mechanisms to activate that would kill you .

Suddenly, one of the experts took out two round s.h.i.+elds, placed them around himself to form an ball, and tried rolling down .

“What a good idea!”

This method caused everyone’s eyes to brighten . As long as they tightly covered their entire bodies, they had no need to fear these arrows .
