Chapter 45: Ghost Cave At The Bottom Of Zaghrama Mountain
Just by using the Great Yin Meditation Technique and One Layer Seven Level Pagoda Skill, Su Mo sensed that the various powers in the lower level space below were extremely eerie, and the things contained within probably far exceeded ordinary imagination!
Su Mo couldn’t help but frown and take a deep breath.
The area below was already the most mysterious place in the Jing Jue Kingdom, the place hiding the Corpse Incense Konjac Heart and Ghost Cave Sacred Blood. Now they were just one step away from the door, so there was no reason to turn back halfway!
Thinking of this, Su Mo relaxed his brows and turned to look at everyone:
“The space below is extremely eerie, but we’ve already come this far. If I said you couldn’t go in, you definitely wouldn’t agree. After all, unveiling the mysterious veil of the Queen of Jing Jue is just one step away!”
Hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help but nod.
Not to mention Professor Chen and the group of scholars who had devoted their lives to archaeology, or Xue Li Yang who had always hoped to unravel the family curse mystery, even Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi would probably be unwilling if they couldn’t go in at this point.
“Alright then, remember my words. Once we’re down there, any of you can only listen to me!”
Su Mo looked at everyone and said word by word in a deep voice:
“Remember, you can only listen to me!”
Although the crowd was somewhat puzzled, they all nodded.
Su Mo then waved his hand:
“Alright, everyone follow behind me and go in together!”
Chu Jian and Sa Di Peng cheered upon hearing this, and even the always very weak Ye Yi Xin couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. Professor Chen and Hao Ai Guo also had faces full of excitement and joy.
Only Xue Li Yang seemed to detect the unusual undertone hidden in Su Mo’s words and couldn’t help but look at him a couple more times.
After speaking, Su Mo turned and led the way down.
The slope behind the gate wasn’t too steep, and the group walked downward for a long time before finally reaching the end of the slope.
Ahead, there was no path, below was a platform with hundreds of giant pupil stone man statues standing on it, all carved from Zaghrama black stone. Under the light, they looked like a group of darkness warriors silently standing in the darkness, appearing extremely eerie.
The edges of the platform were steep cave walls, but ahead was a huge underground cavity. Even the powerful searchlight brought by Xue Li Yang couldn’t reach the end, as if it were a boundless black hole without edges or bottom!
Hu Ba Yi and Wang Pang Zi lay at the platform edge, shining the searchlight downward with effort, only to discover there was actually space below the platform.
Below was a vast flat area filled with all sorts of grave goods.
Pearls, agates, jade, emeralds, bronze ware…
All kinds of things in abundance, and they all looked extremely well-preserved, not damaged at all like those in the underground palace.
Wang Pang Zi lay at the platform edge, his eyes gleaming:
“Old Hu, we’re rich this time! So many treasures, grab a few and we’ll be wealthy!”
Hearing Wang Pang Zi’s excited nonsense, Hu Ba Yi quickly slapped him:
“Dead Fatty, what nonsense are you spouting? We’re here for archaeology, archaeology, got it!”
Wang Pang Zi then realized he’d spoken out of excitement and quickly shut his mouth.
Professor Chen and the others were standing a bit farther away and didn’t hear clearly what he said, but Xue Li Yang heard his words crystal clear.
Xue Li Yang couldn’t help but frown and look at Hu Ba Yi:
“Old Hu, tell the truth, have you ever done tomb raiding?”
Hu Ba Yi knew Xue Li Yang had noticed something, so he said:
“Don’t listen to Wang Pang Zi’s nonsense. He just got greedy seeing so many treasures. To be honest, my ancestors were famous feng shui masters in the village, and with my amateur hobby, I know a bit about these things.”
Xue Li Yang frowned upon hearing this:
“I hope so. We’re here for adventure and archaeology, not to get rich. It’s best not to touch the things here if possible!”
Hearing her words, Wang Pang Zi couldn’t help but say:
“Commander Yang, we’ve already taken Master Su as our master and are considered successors of the Mountain Mover. As far as I know, you’re also a descendant of the Mountain Mover. So let’s not point fingers at each other, okay!”
Xue Li Yang was immediately speechless.
At this moment, Su Mo smiled slightly:
“Fatty, since you mentioned the Mountain Mover, do you know that when the Mountain Mover enters a tomb, they basically don’t touch those gold and silver treasures!”
Wang Pang Zi was stunned:
“Master… not touching gold and silver treasures, then what’s the Mountain Mover tomb raiding for?”
Su Mo smiled:
“The Mountain Mover does fa qiu and digs graves for the elixirs and secret stashes inside. Those gold and silver treasures are just worldly possessions!”
Wang Pang Zi was stunned for a few seconds, a disappointed expression on his face.
Although he had taken Su Mo as master, he didn’t know much about the Mountain Mover. Hearing Su Mo say they didn’t pursue wealth, he couldn’t help but feel very disappointed.
At this time, Su Mo whispered in his ear:
“However, since we’re here, making a bit of money on the side is fine. The big stuff Professor Chen and they can see, but you can casually take a few small gold beads and treasures!”
Hearing Su Mo’s words, Wang Pang Zi was overjoyed, grinning widely:
“Got it, Master!”
Meanwhile, Xue Li Yang thought Su Mo was disciplining Wang Pang Zi, so she and Hu Ba Yi worked together to fix the climbing rope at the platform edge and lowered the rope below.
The drop from the platform to the lower level space wasn’t too great, about thirty meters.
Su Mo grabbed the rope and descended first. Seeing no danger nearby, he shook his flashlight to signal upward.
Xue Li Yang then led Professor Chen and the others down the rope slowly. Wang Pang Zi, being tough and strong, carried Ye Yi Xin down together.
Once down, the group realized it was deathly silent here. Countless treasures lay quietly, but seeing them, no one dared to touch them.
Hu Ba Yi quickly set up the strong searchlight, its beam shining forward, revealing this seemed to be the bottom of Zaghrama Mountain. Where they were was a cliff, and above the cliff, besides these grave goods, there were countless tall giant pupil stone man statues.
Right in front of the cliff was a large round cave.
This cave was enormous, with a diameter of over a thousand meters. A spiral downward staircase was built along the cave walls, but without guardrails, it looked extremely perilous.
Hu Ba Yi shone the strong searchlight down, discovering the staircase spiraled down a few turns and ended dozens of meters below. The cave bottom was unfathomably deep, with cold winds blowing nonstop from the depths, carrying eerie whistling sounds like the wails of evil ghosts from hell!
A sense of immense dark oppression rushed from the cave depths.
This cave seemed to connect directly to the underworld!
