Chapter 460: Being Pulled Into the Mural

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

When Tang Li and Qi Yihan found Qi Lingxuan, he was being bitten on the neck by a female zombie king.

The area where he was bitten was already black with poison.

A look of despair and pain appeared on his face, but he could not break free.

When his vision became blurry and his breathing became heavy, the female zombie that was biting him suddenly disappeared. Then, Tang Li said mockingly, “Tsk… Isn’t he the Son of Destiny? Why can’t he even deal with a zombie?”

When Qi Lingxuan heard this, an inexplicable anger surged in his body.

Qi Yihan then said coldly, “He doesn’t look very good now. Can we save him?”

These words made Qi Lingxuan’s heart skip a beat. He had a bad feeling.

“Yes, but why should we save an ingrate?”

Qi Lingxuan wanted to say that as long as she saved him, he would definitely be grateful. He didn’t want to die yet.

However, he could not speak. This made him anxious and uncomfortable. He felt that breathing became harder as well.

At that moment, he heard Qi Yihan say, “Save him.”

Tang Li, “Alright, I’ll do as you say.”

Then, he felt a chill covering the place where he was bitten. Soon, the burning pain finally eased and disappeared.

After removing all the zombie poison from Qi Lingxuan’s body, Tang Li retreated to Qi Yihan’s side and looked at Qi Lingxuan, who was sitting on the stone with one hand covering his neck, panting and shaking his head.

The moment Qi Lingxuan felt that he had recovered, he quickly stood up and begged the two of them, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, please take me with you. I won’t cause trouble anymore. I’ll do whatever you ask me to do.”

After he walked away from Tang Li and the others, he quickly ran into a large group of bugs. At that time, he thought that even without the help of the Artifact Spirit, he could still use martial arts to survive in the tomb.

At first, he could dodge those bugs. However, later on, he encountered zombies. Ordinary zombies weren’t his match, but a terrifying female zombie king appeared behind him.

After being bitten by the female zombie king, he felt how weak he was.

If not for Tang Li, he would really be dead.

Qi Yihan glanced at Qi Lingxuan and said to Tang Li, “Let’s catch up to the group.”

Tang Li nodded.

The two of them walked into an aisle first.

Qi Lingxuan quickly followed.

The tomb here was complicated, and the aisles were not a straight line. They were zigzagging with many forks extending out.

Qi Yihan made another detector.

However, as soon as the detector was done, it started beeping.

Tang Li looked at the controller in his hand and asked, “Is there anything wrong? Why is this detector beeping?”

“There’s actually a special element around here.”

“How special?”

“At present, humans have not detected it on Earth, but it’s only found on the RZ planet.”

Tang Li said in surprise, “Is there a foreign creature in this tomb?”

These words made Qi Yihan smile and pat her head. “Let’s go. Let’s look around. Maybe we can really find something good in this tomb.”

Tang Li nodded. The two of them walked in one of the directions led by the detector.

Qi Lingxuan, who was following behind them, was especially obedient. He followed wherever they went.

After the three of them walked for an unknown period of time, the passageway of the tomb started to open up. At the same time, many lamps appeared, and a large number of colorful murals started to appear on the surrounding stone walls.

When she saw these murals, Tang Li said, “I finally know why the four masters said that they have never seen the scenes in these murals and don’t know the language. These are all scenes of the Vermilion Bird Clan from the fifth heaven.”

“Fifth Heaven? Vermillion Bird Clan?”

“Yes, in ancient times, there were a total of nine heavens. Our Earth is the second heaven. This Vermilion Bird Clan is one of the four great clans of the fifth heavens.”

“The four great clans include the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, and Vermilion Bird?”

“Right.”

The two of them walked forward as they looked at the mural on the stone wall.

Qi Lingxuan, who was following behind them, also looked at the murals on the stone wall. Some of these murals were very similar to those in eastern mythology, but some were not.

“The people inside can become divine beasts?”

“Only the heads of a few clans can.”

After Tang Li finished speaking, she happened to see a scene. She stopped and stood there to study it carefully.

The mural in front of her depicted a large-scale war. The war was very intense, and dust and corpses were everywhere.

Actually, there were many wars like this on Earth in the ancient times, but the only difference was that there were two divine beasts fighting in the air. One was a white tiger, and the other was a vermilion bird.

“Looks like this is a war between the White Tiger Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan, but…”

The mural wasn’t complete. It stopped at the most critical moment.

“What’s going on?”

Tang Li touched the empty space that was yet to be carved with murals. After some thought, she said to Qi Yihan, “Yihan, it’s best if we don’t walk forward.”

“Is there danger ahead?”

“Sort of. If we continue forward, we might be pulled in.”

After saying that, she pointed at the unfinished war on the mural. “The tomb owner must have left the mural incomplete on purpose. The only explanation is that when the tomb owner built this tomb, he deliberately didn’t finish carving the mural so that the people who broke into the tomb would continue to walk forward out of curiosity and be pulled in. Moreover, this tomb shouldn’t have appeared on Earth. There must be a reason why it appeared now.”

“If we’re pulled in, can we still come back?”

“With me around, you can.”

Qi Yihan was relieved, but he didn’t want to go to such a place either, so he held her hand. “Then we won’t go. Let’s go find Butler Yang and the others.”

“Yeah.”

Just as the two of them were about to turn around and walk back, a terrified shout suddenly came from the depths of the tomb. “Situ Jin! Situ Jin!”

Tang Li and Qi Yihan stopped at the same time.

Tang Li said, “It’s Qin Mingyue’s voice.”

The fact that Qin Mingyue was in the tomb didn’t surprise Tang Li. She was surprised that Situ Jin was in the tomb as well.

“Situ Jin actually followed them into the tomb?”

Tang Li subconsciously looked at Qi Yihan, feeling that he should know something.

Qi Yihan thought for a moment and said, “Maybe he’s worried about Qin Mingyue.”

Tang Li snorted. “If he’s worried, why did he insist on her coming to this tomb?”

Qi Yihan did not understand either.

The moment the two of them stopped, Qin Mingyue’s voice disappeared.

At this moment, Qi Lingxuan reminded the two of them, “Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, the mural on the stone wall is moving.”

The two of them looked at the stone wall at the same time. As expected, the murals started moving.

“What’s going on?”

“Situ Jin and Qin Mingyue activated the switch in this tomb. Even if we don’t walk forward, we will be pulled into the time tunnel and into the world of the mural.” Tang Li grabbed Qi Yihan’s hand tightly. “Yihan, don’t let go of my hand.”

As soon as Tang Li finished speaking, the world shook and they lost consciousness.
