Chapter 261 The Tomb of the First Emperor (1/2)

”Grandpa, what happened?” Gao Peng asked as he put down his bowl and chopsticks.

With a serious look, Ji Hanwu glanced at Gao Peng, shook his head, and said, ”You stay at home and wait until I come back.”

Then he put on his coat and left.

In a flash, he heard splashing sounds from the lake behind the villa, and the White Dragon took Ji Hanwu high up into the sky.

...

In the suburbs of the Ling Tong District, northeast of Chang'an City.

The tomb of the first emperor of Qin was located just near the Ling Tong district. After the Cataclysm, it hadn't changed, so no one had paid attention to the place.

Just ten days before, the tomb of the first emperor of Qin had encountered a change. The stars had appeared while it was still daytime, and infinite bright lights had descended from the sky.

By night, starlights had dropped from the sky like drops of dense blood and plasma.

Chang'an City had witnessed the oddities occurring at the tomb since the first day, and they had immediately sent elites to investigate.

Then, they had found out that within ten miles of the tomb of Emperor Qin, there were no traces of birds, beasts, and monsters to be found.

The municipal government of Chang'an City made a prompt decision and withdrew the civilians near the Ling Tong District and entered into a state of emergency.

”It's the tenth day now….” A general who held a pair of binoculars mumbled to himself.

Suddenly, the ground underneath him shook as if there was an earthquake.

Tremble—

The ground shook violently as a powerful tremor exploded at the center of the tomb of the Qin emperor.

Cracks appeared on the ground and sand, and dust fell into the cracks that appeared. A dense smoke rose into the sky!

Several mountains around the area began to collapse and crumble. Boulders from the mountain rolled downwards, while the cracks spread as forests and trees collapsed, swallowed into the gaps in the ground.

Coarse and low growls could be heard from within the depths of the earth, sounding as if the speaker's throat had been scratched by pieces of glass. Then an angry roar sounded, seeming like it came from deep within the soul and chest.

”O' strong warriors of ancient Qin, let us face the difficulties of the nation together;

”O' strong warriors of ancient Qin, restore territories that belong to us;

”Battles shall not cease until every last drop of blood has been spilled!”

Starting from the central region, everything started to collapse and sink. Blood and smoke mixed with the dust storm and formed a dark red cloud from inside out!

Rumble, rumble, rumble. Bolts of blood red lightning exploded from within the dark cloud.

”Kill!” A thunderous shout for blood shook the entire earth.

From afar, spectators widened their eyes. Just what was that!?

An arm sculpted from mud tore through the dusty smoke as two glowing red lights penetrated the smog. Brown mud armor stuck on the back of its hand, and the right hand was holding the handle of a sword, while the left held the sheath of the sword.

Clang!

A crisp metallic sound rang out as the stone sword was drawn out of the sheath.

One, two, three… Countless shadowy figures covered by the dark smoke rushed out of the area one after another.

The terracotta warriors were alive!!

Bang!

The bottle on the table was knocked down. A general with four stars on his shoulder stood up abruptly with both his hands on the table, his chest heaving up and down quickly.

”Just what are those researchers doing? Why are the terracottas alive?!”

The spectacled researcher on his side murmured, ”This is the first time in all my years of research to learn that there are living terracottas.”

Ten miles away, pitch black barrels turned into a steel jungle, prepared for battle.
