255: Miss Meng's scene is no less impressive than Lin Daiyu shooting a Gatling gun.

"Let's begin," Ye Bai said indifferently.

Meng Ziyi rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender, snow-white jade arms, and then swung the iron shovel to begin digging.

"Eh? Why are we digging like this?"

Meng Ziyi suddenly froze.

Although she was young, she wasn't stupid!

The Feng Shui arrangement of the Tomb's entrance and exit was excellent. Earlier, she had broken through with just a few casual digs, but why had she been digging for so long now without breaking through?

Could there be some hidden secret here?

Thinking of this, Meng Ziyi increased her strength and began to dig with all her might.

"Oh!"

She suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

Yang Mi and Ye Bai were startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

A pained expression appeared on Meng Ziyi's pretty face as she gritted her teeth and said, "I... I hit a piece of green wood, it's very hard!"

Ye Bai leaned over and examined it carefully.

After a moment, he sighed and said, "It seems our luck is truly quite bad; we've actually encountered a Tomb Gate."

A Tomb Gate?

Upon hearing this, Meng Ziyi lost her composure and cried out, "I don't care about any Tomb Gate or whatever, let's just get out of here now."

Ye Bai pondered for a moment and said, "Let's destroy this gate before we leave. Otherwise, I'm worried it might suddenly open."

Meng Ziyi nodded, then brandished the iron shovel in her hand and struck the Tomb Gate fiercely.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The sound of the iron shovel's impact echoed throughout the entire Tomb space, but the Tomb Gate didn't budge an inch.

Ye Bai frowned and said, "This Tomb Gate is very sturdy. It seems we must use a special weapon or tool."

Meng Ziyi hurriedly said, "Does anyone have a hammer or something similar? Lend it to me for a bit."

Both Yang Mi and Ye Bai shook their heads.

Yang Mi said, "I don't have a hammer. Neither does Ye Bai."

"Sigh. Then what are we going to do?" Meng Ziyi said with extreme anxiety.

Ye Bai said, "Don't worry, I have a way."

He took out a pen and paper, wrote a few lines, handed it to Meng Ziyi, and said, "Ziyi, stick this piece of paper onto this stone slab."

"Alright!" Meng Ziyi happily took the paper and, following Ye Bai's instructions, stuck it onto the stone slab.

Ye Bai said, "In a moment, if the Tomb Gate opens on its own, we flee immediately and don't linger for a fight."

"Understood, don't worry."

Ye Bai urged again, "Remember, when I say it's time to run, you do it immediately, understand?"

"Okay."

Ye Bai took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, the layout of the Tomb surfacing in his mind.

The environment surrounding the Tomb, as well as the location of the Tomb exit, all surfaced in Ye Bai's mind.

"I know what to do, let's start now!"

Ye Bai suddenly snapped his eyes open.

The ground of the Tomb suddenly exploded, revealing a pitch-black tunnel entrance.

"Wow! Brother Ye Bai, you're amazing! To actually be able to guess the entrance to the Tomb! You're just too incredible!" Meng Ziyi praised Ye Bai.

Ye Bai was laughing inwardly, but on the surface, he remained frighteningly calm: "Alright, let's hurry up and go inside."

"Mhm, Brother Ye Bai, you have to carry me inside this time. Don't let that old witch steal your credit," Meng Ziyi said coquettishly.

"Don't worry. With me here, what are you afraid of?" Ye Bai said indifferently.

He was the first to crawl into the Tomb.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi also hurriedly followed him inside.

Ye Bai led the two women forward through the Tomb.

The further they went in, the dimmer the light became.

Finally, they saw a faint glow up ahead, looking like a light bulb.

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi were incredibly excited and quickly ran forward.

However, when Ye Bai brought them close to that light source, they were all stunned!

What on earth was that light?

It was actually a massive Bead!

The Bead was as large as a basketball, emitting a dazzling and brilliant treasure light that almost blinded their eyes.

Even more shocking was that there were strange patterns all over the Bead!

These patterns were extremely complex, densely covering the entire Bead like a complete illustration.

"Heavens... is this the legendary Five-Colored Agate?" Meng Ziyi was incomparably excited.

"I'm not sure... but from the appearance, it certainly looks like it," Yang Mi said.

Ye Bai narrowed his eyes and stared at the Five-Colored Agate Bead for a long time, thinking to himself, "The value of this thing is definitely extremely high!"

Five-Colored Agate is a rare mineral material, famous for containing rich metallic elements. Five-Colored Agate is one of the top materials for making jewelry.

Furthermore, Five-Colored Agate is a rare mineral that can only be found by chance. Even with money, it cannot be bought.

According to the "International Smelting Technology Appreciation," the yield of Five-Colored Agate is very low, at most only around 5%.

Five-Colored Agate itself possesses powerful magnetic fields and radiation energy, serving as the core power source for certain special instruments. Therefore, Five-Colored Agate is an extremely precious treasure in China, classified as a cultural relic.

The Five-Colored Agate Bead was massive, brilliantly colored, transparent throughout, smooth, and crystal clear. Under the reflection of the light, it appeared even more beautiful.

Ye Bai took a deep breath, suppressing his inner restlessness, and said softly, "Let's take this Bead with us."

Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi nodded simultaneously and began to get to work.

The three of them carefully lifted the Bead, preparing to leave the Tomb.

"Wait..." At this moment, Meng Ziyi stopped and looked around in confusion.

Yang Mi and Ye Bai also noticed something abnormal.

In this gloomy and terrifying Tomb, besides the three of them, there was actually no one else present!

"Sister Ziyi, what's wrong?" Yang Mi asked.

Meng Ziyi pointed to the outer coffin next to them and said, "Brother Ye Bai, look at that coffin..."

Ye Bai fixed his gaze and was instantly startled.

He discovered that the corpse that should have been lying inside the coffin had actually disappeared!

"This... how could this be? Has the corpse undergone a reanimation?" Meng Ziyi cried out in shock.

Yang Mi also felt very afraid. After all, this Tomb was filled with weirdness and the unknown everywhere; no one could guarantee if a corpse would suddenly jump out!

Ye Bai, however, calmed down and said, "Ziyi, did you forget that method I just taught you?"

"Oh, I remember now."

Meng Ziyi nodded, then squatted down and reached out to touch the outer shell of the Five-Colored Agate.

In the next instant, the Five-Colored Agate suddenly burst forth with a dazzling radiance and emitted bursts of crisp, pleasant clicking sounds, as if a mechanism were operating.

Ye Bai was quick-eyed and fast-handed, swiftly grabbing Meng Ziyi's arm.

Swish!

The Five-Colored Agate suddenly shrank to the size of a fist and fell into Ye Bai's hand.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

"Ah! Brother Ye Bai, you're so amazing!"

Meng Ziyi let out a cry of surprise, her face turning rosy.

Yang Mi also widened her eyes, revealing an expression of envy.

"Why are you still standing there? Let's keep moving forward," Ye Bai said.

He pulled Yang Mi and Meng Ziyi along as they walked toward the depths of the Tomb.

The further they went, the more surprised Ye Bai became.

Because every two meters, he would see an antique.
