322: The double zombie phenomenon, the underground river appears.

"Don't panic. Although these two zombies have revived, their strength is not great," Ye Bai said calmly.

Yang Mi nodded.

"Roar!"

The two zombies lunged forward, their sharp long fingernails slicing through the air with a cold glint.

Ye Bai acted decisively, swinging his right arm. His fist wind was biting as it smashed into the head of one of the zombies.

A crisp sound of bone fracturing rang out.

That zombie fell to the ground on the spot.

Seeing Ye Bai harm its companion, the other zombie let out an angry roar and pounced frantically.

Ye Bai struck its shoulder with a palm.

The zombie spat out blood and was sent flying.

"This fellow's physical fitness is too weak; I defeated it with ease!" Ye Bai shook his head and sighed, feeling that the zombie was too weak.

On second thought, he realized this was because his physical fitness far exceeded that of an ordinary person.

No matter how strong this zombie was, it was ultimately just an ordinary zombie.

"Let's keep moving forward." Ye Bai pulled Yang Mi along as they continued their advance.

Before long, the two reached the deepest part of the Tomb Chamber.

What met their eyes was a massive outer coffin!

This outer coffin was a full three meters wide and six meters long!

The outer coffin was inlaid with all sorts of luminous pearls.

Under the glow of the luminous pearls, the outer coffin appeared even more luxurious and noble.

Inside the outer coffin lay the well-preserved remains of a white-haired old man!

"My god!" Yang Mi couldn't help but swear!

This scene simply shocked Yang Mi to the core!

The remains were dressed in a red bridal gown and wore a golden crown!

That exquisite face was vaguely similar to Yang Mi's.

"Oh my god, whose remains are in this outer coffin?" Yang Mi felt a suffocating pressure, and her delicate body couldn't help but tremble.

"I don't know." Ye Bai shook his head.

"This... isn't this Emperor Chen's Mausoleum?" Yang Mi said tremulously, "How could Emperor Chen's outer coffin appear here? Could this be the legendary Han Tomb?!"

The Han Tomb!

These two words were like a thunderclap to Ye Bai's ears!

The ancients called it an 'Immortal Burial'; it was a true imperial Tomb!

Emperor Chen ruled the world for five hundred years. After his death, he would surely be enshrined as an emperor, enjoying the worship and prostration of all living beings!

The Han Tomb was the burial area of the First Emperor of Qin!

It was said that this was one of the earliest Tomb Chambers in the world!

During the late Han and early Wei period, Cao Cao once built a 'Han Tomb' in Xu County to house the coffins of Liu Bang and other feudal lords, providing them a place to rest.

This Han Tomb was known to later generations as the Mausoleum of 'Duke Ling of Han'!

"This Tomb Chamber is indeed a bit special. Besides this outer coffin, many treasures have been placed here; it looks like it was used for storage." Ye Bai scanned the outer coffin, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "Unfortunately, all of this belongs to me now."

Yang Mi was stunned and looked at Ye Bai in surprise. "You're not thinking of keeping it all for yourself, are you?"

Ye Bai raised an eyebrow.

"Why are you so happy?" Yang Mi frowned.

"Is that not allowed?" Ye Bai asked back.

"Of course not!" Yang Mi snorted, her tone sounding a bit jealous. "Let me tell you, these treasures all belong to me. Don't even think about snatching a single bit from my hands."

Ye Bai smiled, unconcerned.

Yang Mi suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, how did you make those two zombies revive just now? I remember you hit them on the head, but you didn't kill them."

"It's a secret!" Ye Bai gave a faint smile and didn't explain much.

He was very clear about the power he had just used.

In that instant, he had erupted with thousands of pounds of force!

An average Martial Apprentice wouldn't be able to withstand it!

Furthermore, that power was not just incredibly brute; it also contained a terrifying prestige, as if it could destroy all things!

Ye Bai estimated that the brute force he just unleashed reached at least two thousand pounds!

If converted to weight, it would be two thousand pounds heavy!

When such a terrifying weight struck two ordinary zombies, the outcome was predictable.

"This little girl is quite clever; she actually noticed I used a secret technique." Ye Bai's gaze darkened slightly as he became secretly wary.

Although this female shell had lost its vitality, it was, after all, a Martial Artist's Physical Body.

Since Yang Mi dared to follow him here, she must have made ample preparations!

"Let's leave quickly. I keep feeling like there's some danger nearby," Yang Mi urged.

Ye Bai nodded and pulled her out of the Tomb Chamber.

However, right at that moment—

Rumble!

The entire cave shook violently.

A terrifying wave of energy spread out, shaking the Stone Wall until it cracked and crumbled!

"Is this an earthquake?" Ye Bai's expression turned solemn as he looked around.

He vaguely heard someone screaming not far away.

Ye Bai quickly ran over.

Before him appeared a male corpse!

The skin of this corpse was black, and its surface was covered in a layer of hard corpse hair, emitting a foul stench.

Next to him, several sharp steel needles were inserted into the corpse's chest, leaving behind hideous holes.

"Did that zombie do it?" Ye Bai frowned.

Then, he discovered several stone slabs had been overturned, revealing a pitch-black, deep hole.

From within the hole, a faint scent of rot drifted out.

"Is that... an underground river?" Ye Bai's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Where does this lead to?"

Yang Mi's brows furrowed slightly; she felt this underground river was very eerie.

"Let's go down and take a look," Ye Bai said calmly.

"Okay." Yang Mi nodded.

"You jump first." Ye Bai suddenly reached out and grabbed Yang Mi's waist, lifting her into the air.

"What are you doing..." Yang Mi's eyes widened.

"Didn't you say it's dangerous here? I'm helping you." Ye Bai shrugged and said with a grin, "This way you can land steadily."

Hearing this, Yang Mi's face turned red, and she gave Ye Bai a reproachful glare.

"If you don't want to jump, then forget it. Don't be shy, jump quickly." Seeing this, Ye Bai chuckled.

"Shut up!" Yang Mi pinched Ye Bai hard.

She bit her red lip, hesitated for a moment, and then leaped, successfully jumping into the underground river.

Ye Bai also jumped down, his swimming technique extremely proficient.

In the water, Ye Bai's speed slowed down.

Beneath their feet, many corpses and Skeletons appeared, along with severed arms and limbs; the scene was very bloody.

Yang Mi was pale with fright, her whole body shivering.

"Don't be afraid. These corpses must have been buried for a long time. The blood has already dried up; there's no danger," Ye Bai said.

"Then what about these white bones?" Yang Mi pointed at the piles of bleached Skeletons on the ground and asked.

"These white bones are all human; they are soldiers from the qin dynasty era!" Ye Bai said, "Back then, these soldiers went to war and suffered countless casualties. Their skeletons were scattered across the wilderness and gnawed by wild beasts, which is why the bones are so severely decayed."

"I see." Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt a bit creeped out.

The two continued forward, encountering many remains along the way, which was a shocking sight for Yang Mi.

Soon, they arrived before a lake.

The lake was a clear emerald green, with ripples on its surface.

In the center of the lake stood a tall, protruding Stone Pillar!
