Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 181 The Inconceivable Bronze Tree

"Everyone, search here for any hidden doors or mechanisms."

Ji Haobo didn't believe that such a place really didn't have a single secret passage.

He even speculated that not only did it exist, but it might also lead to the Bronze Tree.

The group split up to search. He went over and lifted the stone coffin, originally thinking that the young prince's remains were still inside, but apart from a large number of burial objects, there was nothing else.

Erpang curiously peered inside, and immediately beamed with joy.

"Hehe... No wonder he's a prince, he has quite a few treasures..."

At this point, a hint of doubt appeared on his face, and he turned to ask:

"Master Bo, it seems the young prince isn't inside!"

Upon hearing his words, the other three came over to look inside, and Zhang Menzi even touched the cotton wadding at the bottom of the coffin.

"They didn't even leave the body behind; there wasn't a trace of bodily fluids left."

"But if that's the case, then it doesn't make sense that the Silent Riders surrounded the area like an iron barrel!"

If you have any questions, you can ask Chunfeng... no, I mean Ji Haobo.

"I suspect there's only one possibility: that Bu Yan rode up to the Bronze Tree."

That thing has the ability to make the illusion real; you can think of it as materialization. Whatever you think of, it can appear.

So they were all hallucinating; the little prince they brought back was fake, a materialized version of himself.

But once this fake one leaves the bronze divine tree and is no longer enveloped by the mysterious power, it will slowly disappear.

Erpang and the others were so shocked they could fit duck eggs in their mouths; it was simply unbelievable.

"Brother Bo, are you telling the truth or not? You can make whatever you think of appear? What if..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ji Haobo rolled his eyes and interrupted him.

"Can't you use your brain a little more? Although I said that the bronze divine tree can conjure up fakes, it's not like it can do everything."

At least that thing doesn't just let you make a wish for no reason. In the Ku Kingdom, they even used people to perform blood sacrifices!

Another thing you've considered is, since you created this thing, could you have traded it for something unknown?

"hiss…"

After hearing this, the group felt a chill run down their spines. Compared to Erpang's fat head, Laura, Wu Xie, and Zhang Menzi were thinking much more deeply.

"Bo, where do we go? What if the things we imagine in our minds come to life?"

They all looked at Ji Haobo, after all, the ability to control the dispersion of thoughts and maintain a state of complete focus was not something an ordinary person could do.

Even Zhang Menzi, who usually maintains a calm demeanor, cannot guarantee that his heart remains undisturbed.

In response to their concerns, Ji Haobo smirked and waved his hand dismissively, saying:

"You don't need to worry about that. With the Heavenly Coffin Blessing mark suppressing you, the Bronze Divine Tree can't detect your thoughts at all. The saying 'no taboos' is not just empty boasting."

Otherwise, if that giant rat in front had used its magic to control your luck, and you didn't have the Heavenly Coffin's blessing mark suppressing you, you would have had your luck stolen long ago, or at least been crippled.

"Wow! Awesome! Doesn't that mean it's a get-out-of-jail-free card? Hehehe!"

Erpang was extremely excited upon hearing this. He had no idea how powerful the protective function of the Heavenly Coffin Blessing Mark was before, but now he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

"Damn, a get-out-of-jail-free card? You really dare to dream of such a thing. Want me to give you a peanut to try?"

Seeing his expression, Ji Haobo couldn't help but pour cold water on him, giving him a cold laugh.

"Uh...no...no need..."

Erpang chuckled awkwardly and waved his hands repeatedly in embarrassment.

Just kidding, how could he dare eat Master Bo's peanuts! He'd probably be unable to even stick them back together.

"The blessing from the Heavenly Coffin only adds a layer of protection against the invasion of evil forces, it does not grant you invincibility."

Like that giant rat's illusionary attack, you will all be annihilated without a trace.

"Uh... that's still incredibly powerful. If it weren't for the Heavenly Coffin's blessing and protection, I would have been invaded and killed by evil spirits long ago in that pile of bones."

Wu Xie nodded in approval and affirmed its undeniable efficacy.

Just as they were talking, Zhang Menzi, who was groping around on the wall, suddenly touched something.

"Crack..."

A sound of a mechanism turning was heard, and a hidden door appeared in the corner of the wall.

Ji Haobo put the contents of the coffin away, turned around and walked to the dark doorway, immediately feeling a gentle breeze.

"Let's go! There's a breeze in the secret passage; it must lead outside the tomb."

He led the way, with the others following closely behind. After turning a few corners, they immediately felt the oppressive feeling of being in the tomb disappear.

The group soon arrived at the end of the dark passage. The light from the torches ahead was so dim that they could only vaguely make out something.

However, Ji Haobo could see it clearly. Even he was shocked by the scene before him and couldn't help but look up.

"Bo... what's going on up ahead?"

Seeing the change in his expression, Laura couldn't help but ask him curiously.

"The Bronze Divine Tree! An unbelievably large bronze divine tree. You'll know once you fire a few flares up there."

Of the group, only Zhang Menzi could see vaguely in the dark; the rest were practically blind.

So everyone was incredibly curious about his tone, wondering what kind of bronze divine tree could shock Master Bo so much.

"Bang bang bang..."

As several flares flew out, brilliant lights shone, but two of them hit something and exploded before they got very high.

In the dazzling light, they finally understood the shock Ji Haobo had felt.

In the boundless underground space, an indescribably large tree appeared before them.

It's impossible to know how tall this thing is, but the outside of this secret passage is just tree roots, and a large number of the exposed roots are more than a person tall, which is quite exaggerated.

Although the bronze tree has no leaves, its branches are dense and thick, resembling country roads.

Overall, even a glimpse into the whole picture is incredibly powerful and chilling.

Compared to the others, Ji Haobo could sense a special fluctuation here.

He felt that the energy contained in this bronze divine tree was even more terrifying than that in the Ghost Cave.

However, the Ghost Cave is an external manifestation, constantly emitting waves of erosion and plunder.

The fluctuations of the Bronze Tree were more restrained, filled with inactive inertia.

"No wonder that giant rat called it the Heavenly Tree; it really does seem to lead to the heavens."

Erpang and Wu Xie stared at the flares above, which were gradually going out, muttering to themselves with stiff expressions.

At this moment, Ji Haobo also scoffed at the original plot's claim that this was built by people in ancient times to capture Zhu Jiuyin deep underground and to refine oil for lighting.

Unless they are aliens, is it possible for a group of people from a tribal era to build the world's tallest skyscraper?

However, it could also be a prehistoric civilization, which is hard to say. Anyway, the more Ji Haobo knows, the more confused he seems to become.
