Hesitating, Li Wenli stuck his head out from within and said to them, "Hurry up and follow."
"..." The crowd pointed at the characters on the Stone Gate, not sure whether to read them out loud, but it felt a bit ominous to do so.
Li Wenli casually glanced at the characters: "What about it? If it doesn’t write this, is it supposed to write ’Welcome’ instead?"
"..." The group was actually rendered speechless.
"If you’re afraid of dying, you shouldn’t have come in. I told you to wait outside, but you wouldn’t listen."
Li Wenli was really helpless.
He had forcibly brought this group of fearful yet curious companions inside, by which time Bai Junjun was already strolling around this tomb chamber.
The first room they entered contained many bottles and jars, and even an Alchemy Furnace.
Bai Junjun’s original self had studied pharmacology and was very familiar with these furnaces for concocting elixirs.
The burial goods also indirectly reflected the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord’s obsession with Alchemy.
Otherwise, these items wouldn’t have been placed in the tomb chamber.
However, these elixirs had been left for a thousand years, and even if they had been miraculous elixirs back then, they had now turned into expired poison.
Bai Junjun tried opening several bottles and jars, and upon confirming that everything had deteriorated, didn’t open any more.
Walking forward from the side chamber, they saw three consecutive chambers all storing elixirs, but many of them showed signs of tampering, likely Black Six’s handiwork.
Speaking of which, it was strange for the Zhongshan Mountain Overlord, why didn’t he place any traps in such a large tomb chamber?
Was it really okay to allow people to come and go freely, taking what they pleased?
Look at Black Six, treating this place like his own home upon entering, he was really good at hiding.
They searched three side chambers in a row without finding where this guy had gone.
And looking at the state of disarray in these side chambers, it’s feared that he might have taken many useful scriptures with him.
If he managed to steal the Alchemical Recipe and bring it out, it might even trigger a new wave of cultivation fever.
Ordinary folks might not care, but the royals and nobles of the palace would definitely covet it, they might even appoint Black Six as the State Preceptor, and from then on, he would enjoy endless glory and riches.
If it were just the artifacts for concocting elixirs here, that would be one thing—after all, Black Six got them through his own efforts.
But just now, he had turned his eight hundred subordinates into the living dead—that was intolerable!
If he used this evil technique on the outside world, wouldn’t that lead to chaos under the heavens?
Furthermore, he had a Stone of unknown function; this object harbored too much instability, and until they confiscated it and held it in their own hands, they could not be at ease.
So, they had to find Black Six no matter what.
Finally, after passing through three side chambers, the two of them arrived at the main burial chamber.
The door to the main burial chamber was also slightly ajar, obviously, Black Six had been here as well.
Bai Junjun and Li Wenli didn’t hesitate to enter, but as soon as they stepped into the chamber, a dark figure pounced from the gloomy interior, followed by a foul stench.
At that moment, Li Wenli was in front; he instinctively dodged to the side. The Vermilion Demon behind Bai Junjun arrived in a flash.
As Bai Junjun grappled with the dark figure, Li Wenli shouted, "Firestarter!"
Xiao Chan, waiting outside, no longer cared about her fear and immediately pulled out a firestarter and threw it to Li Wenli.
Li Wenli, whose night vision was unimpeded, quickly caught the firestarter and lit all the torches in the room. As a faint light sprouted around, they finally got a clear view of the dark figure.
They had no idea until they saw it, and they were startled at the sight!
At first, they thought it was Black Six lying in ambush here, but to their surprise, it wasn’t!
