27: Chapter 27: Treasure Hunting - The Boss Has Been Unearthed!

Taking the rope out of his Storage Pouch, the two of them were hoisted up into the middle chamber of the tomb.

Looking left and right, aside from some daily necessities, all that remained were several chests placed on either side.

On the chests was the final plea of a truly desperate, devious old man: "That is all there is, do not go any further!"

Opening the chest that reached up to his knees, a full chest of Low-Grade Spirit Stone instantly blinded Su Yi's eyes.

Closing the chest with an expressionless face, Su Yi appeared very calm, but his slightly trembling body betrayed his excitement.

He had struck it rich, he had struck it rich!

Just the Low-Grade Spirit Stone in this one chest, if converted into experience points, would be enough for him to repeatedly dash toward the Ninth Layer of Qi Refining several times!

As expected of the Koi Empress!

Such an Opportunity, she was able to pick it up just like that!

Su Yi was trembling with excitement, but he still forcibly suppressed it and opened the other chests.

Most of the other chests contained Medicinal Pill like Spirit-Gathering Pills, as well as a few weapons and pieces of armor.

They couldn't even really be considered equipment; they were just Mortal weapons crafted from Cultivator Materials.

Because none of them triggered the equipment tab on Su Yi's System interface!

He had originally thought the first chest was just the beginning, but it turned out to be the Peak.

"Mine! It's all mine, I discovered this place!" Ling Yao, standing to the side, protected the chests like a little mother hen.

Su Yi was furious. I didn't even hog everything for myself, yet you are trying to hog it all here with me!

Under the threat of Su Yi's elbow—which he used to reason with her—Ling Yao finally reluctantly agreed to split everything fifty-fifty between them.

"One for you, one for me! One for me, one for you!"

"One for you, one for me, one for me, one for me, one for you!"

Under Ling Yao's intense gaze, Su Yi, who had been distributing them honestly at first, began to act dishonestly...

Bullying the Body Cultivator Empress who wasn't very bright, Su Yi intentionally called out the wrong sequence while distributing, and in the end, he ended up with a third more than her for nothing.

Because Su Yi was calling them out very quickly, and she was focused at the beginning, Su Yi didn't mess around, so Ling Yao didn't suspect anything.

By the time Ling Yao's attention drifted later on, Su Yi completely let himself go.

So by the time they finished splitting it, Ling Yao always felt something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

With a bountiful harvest, the two of them looked at the Spirit Stone in their Storage Pouch and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

You ask about Xiao Tian?

As the one who dug through the tunnel, those scraps of Mortal weapons were considered his labor fee.

After all, he was the one who left first and didn't want them; cultivation is just that cruel.

Having walked ninety-nine steps, to turn back just one step short meant all previous efforts were wasted.

Giving him a little labor fee was already considered an act of great kindness from the two of them.

Once they finished scavenging the Spirit Stone, the Medicinal Pill and Heaven And Earth Treasure that Ling Yao didn't care for were also collected into Su Yi's Storage Pouch.

Even a mosquito is meat, and being frugal and managing the household was Su Yi's good habit.

After scouring the middle chamber, the eyes of the two turned to the stone door of the rear chamber.

There was a coffin lid there with the words 'Opening the coffin means the death of your entire family' written on it.

A devious old man who could write such a slogan must definitely have good things hidden in that coffin lid!

Su Yi and Ling Yao walked to the stone door with a tacit understanding.

The entire cave was separated into three chambers by two massive stone slabs, and there were stone doors on the slabs.

Logically speaking, they should be unlocked one by one.

But Su Yi, who had already been enlightened, couldn't be bothered to unlock the mechanism on the rear chamber stone door step by step.

Just as Su Yi was thinking about just climbing over the wall, a delicate shout came from behind him.

Ling Yao directly smashed the stone door open with a single punch!

Watching the coffin exposed amidst the flying stone debris, Su Yi shrugged; it was simple and crude, but it saved them from climbing the wall.

The two walked into the rear chamber, where a single coffin was placed, with words written on the lid:

"The one who opens this coffin shall see their entire family die!"

"I am an orphan; this is the Opportunity left to me by the Senior!"

Ling Yao's almond eyes widened, and she immediately cursed: "Bullshit, I want to see if he can curse me to death!"

After saying that, without waiting for Su Yi to speak, Ling Yao directly punched the coffin lid of this devious Senior away.

Su Yi touched his chin, looking at the smug-looking Ling Yao.

After this Empress returned to the Great Zhou Imperial City, those royal brothers of hers died or became crippled one after another in the struggle for the throne.

In less than two years, the old Emperor also kicked the bucket.

One has to say, this coffin lid really had something to it!

But if you were to say that there was a curse on the coffin lid that affected Ling Yao?

Su Yi wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death; a curse from a Cultivator who didn't even leave behind a name after death couldn't possibly go unnoticed by the entire civil and military court of Great Zhou.

At the very least, she was a Great Zhou Imperial Princess, and there were countless offerings and Elder in the Great Zhou Imperial Court.

Could she really be cursed by an obscure little Cultivator who died unknown?

It can only be said that there is a destiny in the dark!

When the coffin lid was knocked away, Ling Yao landed directly on the coffin, wanting to see what other treasures were hidden inside.

It didn't matter if she looked, but a pair of hands suddenly reached out from the coffin, grabbing toward Ling Yao!

It was a corpse rising from the dead!

Ling Yao was so scared her little face went deathly pale, and for a moment, she forgot to dodge.

Before those hands that suddenly reached out from the coffin could grab Ling Yao, Su Yi used the same trick again, pulling Ling Yao back with a water whip.

Click, click, click!

A series of noises echoed from inside the coffin as a pair of hands braced against the sides of the coffin, slowly sitting up.

A Dry Corpse with sparse white hair and a shriveled body sat up from the coffin.

Su Yi's heart skipped a beat; crap, grave robbing had actually robbed out a boss!

The Dry Corpse shook its head slightly before standing up and fiercely stomping its foot on the ground.

A powerful wave of True Qi swept directly across the entire rear chamber, instantly blasting the surrounding coffin lids into fragments.

Su Yi's pupils constricted, and he pulled Ling Yao back repeatedly, retreating directly into the middle chamber.

"Damn it, this devious old man actually refined himself into a Puppet! He put it at the very end to intentionally trap those who came in!"

Just the True Qi wave had such power; even if it wasn't Foundation Establishment, it was at least at the Eighth or Ninth Layer of Qi Refining!

"Roar!"

The Dry Corpse, which had become a Puppet, let out a furious roar toward the sky, seemingly venting its dissatisfaction with the intruders.

The sound, carrying powerful True Qi, instantly reverberated throughout the entire tomb.

Su Yi and Ling Yao instantly felt dizzy and their bodies stiffened!

This Dry Corpse could actually still use the skills from when it was alive!

Su Yi pulled Ling Yao back to the stone door of the middle chamber, and behind that stone door was the front chamber.

Su Yi, thinking quickly, directly shouted to Ling Yao: "Quick, destroy the door and release those four Puppets!"

Ling Yao, who was having her blood and Qi surged by the sound waves, instantly understood Su Yi's plan.

He wanted to lure the Puppets from the front chamber to tangle with the Dry Corpse!

Ling Yao no longer held back, smashing the stone door of the middle chamber with a punch, and the two walked in quickly.

The humanoid Puppet guarding the front chamber was instantly activated and attacked Su Yi and the other directly.

Compared to the Dry Corpse, their strength was not strong; at least Su Yi and Ling Yao could handle themselves with ease under the attacks of the four Puppets.

Luring the four Puppets into the middle chamber, they happened to run into the boss Dry Corpse rushing over from the rear chamber.

The furious Dry Corpse did not distinguish between friend and foe, its True Qi circulating on its hands, which had transformed into sharp claws, and it directly smashed a Puppet with one claw!

Terrifying! The True Qi was almost able to condense into claw shadows!

Su Yi, having finished scavenging the items, just wanted to leave quickly and anxiously looked for the rope they had used to come down.

"What the hell, where is the rope?" Su Yi turned around a few times, looking bewildered, but the rope was nowhere to be seen.

Ling Yao, who was being pulled by Su Yi, spoke weakly:

"That... I put that rope away!"
