197: Taking a different approach, Brother Ye has a unique idea.

"A copper coin?" Everyone was surprised when they saw the copper coin in Ye Bai's hand.

"That's right," Ye Bai replied indifferently. "This copper coin was taken from the outer coffin in the Ancient Tomb."

"Doesn't that mean this copper coin is the key to opening this door?" Zhang Dada asked with wide eyes.

"You could say that. But you might be misunderstanding; this copper coin is more than just a key," Ye Bai said with a smile.

"Could it have another use?" Zhang Dada asked urgently.

"Exactly." Ye Bai nodded and said, "If this underground palace is a Tang Dynasty Mausoleum, then the owner of this copper coin must have been an emperor-level figure of the Tang Dynasty."

"Now, the Tang Dynasty has long since perished, but there are still some remaining documents that record the location of the Tang imperial tombs. Although this underground palace is somewhat different from other places, the basic design is consistent."

"I speculate that this underground palace is a Mausoleum specifically built by a certain emperor to hide his secrets."

After listening to Ye Bai's words, expressions of sudden realization appeared on everyone's faces.

"Then do you think there might be a large amount of priceless jewelry hidden inside this underground palace?" Zhang Dada said excitedly from the side.

"Perhaps. After all, wealth during the Tang Dynasty was extremely abundant; whether it was gold, silver, jade, or porcelain, they were all exquisite," Ye Bai said casually.

"Wow! Then shouldn't we hurry up and look for it?" Zhang Dada urged excitedly.

"What's the rush? Our primary task right now is to open the door to the Tomb Chamber," Yang Mi said with a frown. "Since it's an imperial Mausoleum, there must be many defensive measures inside. If I'm not mistaken, those two Female Corpses are the final checkpoint."

"Do you have a way to defeat those two Female Corpses?" Ye Bai asked after a moment of silence.

Yang Mi sighed. "The four of us combined might not even be a match for one of those Female Corpses, let alone dealing with two at once."

"Then there's no way, right?" Zhang Dada said.

Ye Bai shook his head.

He also wanted to defeat those two Female Corpses and obtain the treasures inside!

However, winning against those two Female Corpses was simply too difficult.

Furthermore, the entrance to this underground palace was guarded by the two Female Corpses. If they rushed over blindly, they would likely be torn to pieces before they could even get close.

"Sigh, let's look for another entrance," Ye Bai said helplessly.

He turned around, preparing to leave.

"Hey!" Zhang Dada suddenly called out to him.

"Hmm?" Ye Bai turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

"If we can't defeat those two Female Corpses, what should we do?" Zhang Dada asked.

"Then we just have to admit defeat," Ye Bai shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"How can you not be afraid at all? Aren't you worried about dying here?" Zhang Dada couldn't help but say.

"Dying? Haven't I already lived for twenty years?" Ye Bai said indifferently. "Besides, I'm tired of living."

After Ye Bai finished speaking, he left without looking back.

The others stood in place, stunned for a moment.

"Are we following him?" Zhang Dada looked at Yang Mi and the others and asked.

"I don't mind following him, but our food is running low. I'm worried we won't have the strength to run away later," Yang Mi said slowly after hesitating for a moment.

"You're right. If our physical strength is exhausted later, it will probably be very miserable," Meng Ziyi said.

"Then what do we do?" Zhang Dada asked.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Mi gritted her teeth and said, "Damn it, I'm going all in. Let's do it with him!"

"Good!" Meng Ziyi nodded. The other three team members also agreed.

Subsequently, they followed Ye Bai and walked forward.

Ye Bai's speed wasn't fast; as he walked, he observed his surroundings, seemingly afraid of missing any clues.

However, they soon discovered that the path Ye Bai was taking was a complete dead end. Aside from that tightly closed door, everything else was a wall. They simply couldn't judge where the entrance to this underground palace actually was.

After reaching the end, Ye Bai paused, reached into his inner coat pocket to grope around for a bit, and then pulled out a yellow paper talisman, softly chanting a few lines of an Incantation.

Then, this yellow paper talisman transformed into a fireball and shot forward, slamming into the stone wall.

"Bang!" The stone wall vibrated, and then a crack split open.

Immediately after, Ye Bai led everyone quickly through the Stone Door.

"This is..." After everyone walked through the Stone Door, they were all dumbfounded. They saw that behind this Stone Door was actually another Secret Chamber.

Inside the Secret Chamber, various weapons were laid out—sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, everything one could want. And on the weapon racks, various precious medicinal herbs were displayed.

"These weapons and medicinal herbs are all treasures of the Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Dada said with great emotion. "To leave such precious things here is truly a waste of God's gifts."

"First, pick the weapons and medicinal herbs that suit you," Ye Bai instructed.

Everyone immediately went into action.

"Look here." While everyone was picking weapons and herbs, Ye Bai pointed to a corner of the wall.

Looking in the direction Ye Bai pointed, they saw several pearls the size of chicken eggs lying in the corner of the stone wall.

"My god! These are the legendary luminous pearls!" Zhang Dada cried out in surprise.

luminous pearls are also known as night-glow pearls. Because they are shaped like chicken eggs and their color is transparent, smooth, and brilliant, they are likened to luminous pearls.

This kind of luminous pearl is very rare, one might even say they can be sought but not easily found. This is because they have a strong ability to absorb light sources. As long as the distance is far enough, they can still emit light.

And at this moment, the entire Stone Chamber was filled with dazzling white light.

Since luminous pearls are originally made of pure crystal, the light was relatively soft and warm, making people feel comfortable rather than dazzled.

"What beautiful luminous pearls! I love them!" Zhang Dada stared fixedly at the luminous pearls and murmured.

"Take them," Ye Bai said.

"Alright, God Ye." Zhang Dada happily picked up the luminous pearls and stuffed them into his bag.

"Ye Bai, look, what are these?" Yang Mi suddenly pointed at a pile of strange bones.

Everyone saw that there was a groove in the center of the bones.

"These bones look like they were forcibly smashed into the skeleton; it should be some great figure," Ye Bai said.

"Who do you think these bones belong to?" Meng Ziyi asked.

"Guess," Ye Bai said with a smile.

"Uh... this... how would I know?" Meng Ziyi scratched her head.

"Don't worry about it. Let's keep going inside," Ye Bai said.

They chatted as they walked along the wall.

Suddenly, two forks in the road appeared ahead, leading to the left and right sides respectively.

"Which side should we choose?" Yang Mi asked.
