913 Opening the Grand Tomb on the Moonless Night (2)
Ahead of them was a massive throne, empty except for a stone-made crown, and nothing else.
Although it was simple, it emitted a sense of domineeringness and crudeness.
Ning Yan looked over. After seeing the layout clearly, he took a deep breath.
“The twelve rulers are 990 feet tall, and the throne they worship is 1,000 feet tall. This is the stature of a great emperor!”
Wu Jianwu didn’t understand these but even he felt that it was impressive, and looked at the captain with deep suspicion.
Xu Qing’s heart also stirred. From the layout of this place, the captain’s previous life was definitely extraordinary. Ling’er’s eyes were wide open in disbelief.
Sensing everyone’s gazes, the captain sighed softly.
This voice was filled with reminiscence and vicissitudes as it echoed in the cave. When the lingering sound filled the air, he lifted his feet and slowly walked forward.
Under everyone’s gaze, the captain walked step by step to the front. His figure also enlarged at this moment. When he was a thousand feet tall, he sat on the throne and looked down at the ground.
This height, this gaze, and the aura from all directions made the captain look like an emperor returning to his throne.
Wu Jianwu instinctively shuddered and lowered his head to bow. Ning Yan also felt his legs weaken.
Only Xu Qing suppressed the waves in his heart and revealed a puzzled expression. He looked at the surroundings and the huge figure that the captain had transformed into and suddenly spoke.
“Eldest Senior Brother, this place is fake, right?”
As soon as Xu Qing spoke, Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu’s eyes widened. As for the captain, his expression was still dignified as he continued to stare at Xu Qing.
Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the void to his right as he expressionlessly spoke.
“Eldest Senior Brother, stop fooling around.”
Laughter rang out from the place Xu Qing was looking at and the captain’s figure appeared in the void.
Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu abruptly looked over and then at the huge figure on the seat. They immediately understood that the person on the seat was only an illusion. The captain had hidden himself after arriving here.
The captain ignored Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu’s expressions. He smiled and looked at Xu Qing.
“Haha, Junior Brother, you know me best. That’s right, this place was set up to guard against tomb raiders. Although the method to open it is complicated and only I know about it, in order to prevent any accidents, I specially built this place.”
“This way, if any tomb raiders come, they will definitely be fooled by this place and fall into a calamity of death.”
The captain said proudly.
“I’ve done things related to tomb raiding my entire life. I know them too well.”
Xu Qing nodded. This was in line with the captain’s style.
“Let’s go. There are eight more places like this, all prepared by me to prevent tomb raiders.”
The captain had a sneaky look on his face as he walked forward. He brought Xu Qing and the others to the throne and spat out a large mouthful of blood, forming a vortex that he jumped into.
Just like that, they continued forward and passed by six places the captain had mentioned. Every one of them was built incomparably realistically, each more vast than the last. This was especially so for the sixth one, which gave off a feeling of clouds lingering around it. The scenery vaguely seeped out from it, causing Ning Yan, who clearly knew that it was fake, to be shocked again.
That was clearly the style of an ancient sovereign.
In the sixth fake land, the captain plucked a wisp of cloud and spat out a mouthful of blood to fuse with it. Finally, it transformed into a huge fog gate.
“Generally, when people enter here and break through the illusions in succession, they instinctively think that there’s still more left, so I did the opposite and hid the real path here.”
“Once we open this gate, we will reach the first level of my residence in my previous life.”
The captain stood in front of the gate and spoke, looking like a proud peacock.
Wu Jianwu was completely shocked along the way. In order to prevent tomb raiders, so many false tombs had been set up, so he felt like the real tomb must be even more extravagant.
However, this wasn’t the focus of Ning Yan’s thoughts. He couldn’t help but speak.
“There are still two fake tombs left, right? What are their layouts?”
The captain smiled but didn’t say anything. He raised his right hand and waved it. The sun of the Lone Sun Race appeared in front of him and flashed toward the fog gate in front of him.
It flashed a total of nine times.
After the nine flashes, the fog gate rumbled and slowly opened.
“I’m home. Sigh, I haven’t been back for a long time. I missed it a lot.”
The captain could already imagine Xu Qing and the others being dumbfounded by his collection. Hence, he pretended to be calm and raised his hand, putting on an inviting expression.
Xu Qing was indeed filled with anticipation. He took a step forward and Ning Yan and Wu Jianwu quickly followed. After they stepped in, the captain smiled proudly and also stepped in.
When they appeared, a huge cave abode appeared in front of everyone.
“This is… Hmm?”
The captain paused and looked around, stunned for a moment.
The cave abode was empty.
There was not even the throne. It was clean, as though it had been cleaned from the inside out. Even the corners weren’t spared.
Xu Qing had a strange expression. Ning Yan blinked and Wu Jianwu raised his brows.
Ling’er whispered to Xu Qing.
“This place is so clean.”
The captain quickly turned his head and swept his gaze across the surroundings. The more he looked, the more panicked he became. He felt that something was amiss but on the surface, he was still strong and calm.
“There’s nothing much on the first level to begin with. It has been so long, so it’s normal for them to weather.”
“All my good things are on the second level. I even specially arranged them back then.”
