Shengjing Noble

Chapter 582 Underground Tomb

"And if you continue to watch, the way these people kowtow to him is enough to prove that he is the emperor here. If he is the emperor, he must live in the palace."

Ah Hai looked at the totems, surprise flashing in his eyes: "That's not right! Why do the places in these totems look so familiar?"

"look familiar?"

"Hmm! I see here, it looks like the big palace of the pirate city!"

Su Lanyin was very surprised: "Have you been to the big palace in Pirate City?"

"Of course I've been there. That year, the pirate king occupied our island. My uncles and I were captured by them and used as laborers to repair the palace. The paintings here are exactly the same as the old palace!"

"I see. So, this underground palace is most likely an underground mausoleum."

"Now that you mention it, I remember it!"

"Remember what?"

"When I was born, Pirate Island was not what it is now. The people were self-sufficient. Each of our villages had a village chief, and everyone guarded their own place. There was no king at all."

"But I heard from my father that when he was a child, this island had a king, but he was a very cruel and greedy demon! In fact, he was even more cruel than the Pirate King."

"He amassed a huge fortune and led all his soldiers to go out to sea to rob merchant ships. He committed all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing, and looting. He soon accumulated a huge amount of treasure and also obtained a magical artifact that could make anyone's wishes come true."

"After getting the treasure, he began to worry that the residents on the island would covet it, so he ordered all the islanders to be killed! And my grandfather's generation experienced a very brutal massacre!"

"Later, a hero stepped forward and led all the islanders to attack the imperial city. After a bloody battle, they killed the tyrant, but he himself died in the process."

"That hero is an orphan. No one knows his name. Later generations can only call him General Shenlong, which means that he is a dragon sent by heaven to save the common people. Now that he has punished the devil, he has completed his mission and returned to heaven."

After listening to this story, Su Lanyin immediately understood much more clearly after seeing some incredible patterns on the murals.

"No wonder there are so many cruel and bloody carvings on these walls. By the way, how many islanders are there on your island now? Weren't there many villages before?"

Hearing this, Ah Hai's face turned ugly. He lowered his head and said, "No, we are the only village left."

"what?"

"Our island is very big. Originally, there were at least tens of thousands of residents on the island, if not hundreds of thousands. There were so many villages that it's hard to count them."

"But now, we are the only village left. The village chief counted before and found that there are only about a thousand people left, and the number is decreasing. People are even unwilling to have more children."

Su Lanyin frowned: "Why are there so many fewer people?"

"It's incredible that our islanders have survived two massacres without becoming extinct. Everyone says that even if we have children, they are destined to become slaves of the pirates, so why give birth to them and let them suffer?"

"Pirates are really abominable! But I believe there will always be another Dragon General to save this island!"

"hope so……"

"Okay, let's not think about it anymore. It has been confirmed that this is the underground palace of the previous demon ruler. It's a pity that he failed to move in successfully."

"Then how do we get in?"

"The mechanism must be nearby. Let's look for it."

"it is good!"

The two of them squatted on the ground and searched for the night pearl. Finally, Su Lanyin found something wrong.

"and many more!"

"what happened?"

“This floor tile is a different color!”

She grabbed Ah Hai's wrist and used the night pearl in his hand to carefully examine the floor tile.

"It's really different. There doesn't seem to be as much dust. Could it have been moved by someone?"

"Why not just give it a try?"

As she spoke, Su Lanyin stood up and stepped down.

Then, their ears were filled with roaring sounds, and they felt that the entire space was shaking. The two of them huddled together, their hearts full of vigilance.

"what happened!"

"Don't be afraid!"

As soon as Su Lanyin finished speaking, the huge stone door in front of her slowly opened little by little.

“It’s really open!”

Ah Hai was so excited that he wanted to rush in immediately, as if he was afraid that it would be closed.

Su Lanyin felt something was wrong, so she quickly grabbed his thick collar and pulled him out.

Just as he pulled it open, a sharp arrow whizzed past Ah Hai's eyes and was just inches away from piercing his head.

Ah Hai's legs went weak instantly, luckily Su Lanyin supported him, otherwise he would have knelt on the ground.

Just now, the arrow almost grazed the bridge of his nose. He didn't dare to think about what would have happened if Su Lanyin hadn't pulled him back.

I'm afraid he would just lie on the ground and die with his eyes open.

"This kind of place must be full of traps. Since there is no trap when opening the door, there must be one when entering." Su Lanyin said.

"I was scared to death... But you are so awesome, how did you know that?" Ah Hai looked at her with eyes full of admiration.

"Isn't this common sense? The trap is so easy to find and the door is so easy to open, but it's all a trick to lower the intruder's guard so that they can take the opportunity to kill him."

"I see... it's so insidious!"

"So, you have to be more careful on the road ahead. It's best to follow me closely. Don't run around without my permission."

"Okay! I will be obedient and follow you closely."

"Let's go."

"Ah? It took so long to go in there? I, I don't dare..."

Ah Hai suffered a psychological trauma and was too scared to move forward.

Su Lanyin said: "Follow me closely."

"Will you be in danger?"

"No, I'm here, don't worry."

"Yeah! I believe you!"

Su Lanyin continued to move forward with Ah Hai, being extremely careful with every step.

Even after entering the gate, the mechanism was not triggered again.

Ah Hai squatted down and continued to check, then said: "The three footprints seem to be separated."

Su Lanyin was puzzled and looked forward along the light of the night pearl. Sure enough, three footprints led to different tombs.

"Let's go from left to right and check out the first one first."

"it is good!"

The two continued to move forward cautiously, while not forgetting to observe the surrounding environment.

The murals on the wall still depict bloody and cruel scenes, but compared to the slaughter outside, it is more like a ritual.

Moreover, they noticed that there was a large tripod in the center, and there were many tripods placed around the walls.

"It should be a formation used for sacrifice." Su Lanyin said to herself.

"Ah? What did you say?" Ah Hai was extremely nervous now, his mind was full of vigilance against the agency, and he didn't hear clearly what she said.
