Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Skeletons Everywhere_1

Amidst the conversation, a woman clad in black from the crowd suddenly said in a deep voice, "Shadow Six, take care of Thirteen for me!"

As she spoke, the woman in black swiftly drew a Tang Knife, poised to plunge it into her own chest!

"Dammit!"

At that moment, you could no longer bother with being polite in front of the girl, and the Mysterious Seal immediately flashed in your eyes. The woman in black’s movements became incredibly slow in your vision, and you rushed forward at top speed, snatched the Tang Knife from her hand, and struck her chest with your palm!

That palm strike sent the woman in black flying out, and you also felt a tingling sensation of warmth and softness.

"Shadow Four!" Shadow Six’s figure flashed, hurrying to support Shadow Four.

"Are you dumb, or are you stupid!?" You stepped forward and berated Shadow Four, "Just because of one damn sentence from me, you choose to die! What if I was just bluffing? You... you’re just a brainless woman with nothing but a big chest, hopelessly stupid!"

As you spoke, you stabbed the Tang Knife into the nearby rock wall, and to your surprise, the knife plunged straight in!

Seeing the wall effortlessly penetrated by the Tang Knife like tofu, you couldn’t help but think that if you had hesitated even slightly, the woman with the graceful figure might already have been impaled through by the Tang Knife!

"Thank you, Master Li, for your timely assistance, but serving our master faithfully is our duty..."

"Faithfully my ass!" you glared fiercely at Shadow One, and immediately spread open your hand to her, saying in an irritated tone, "Give me one of your hairs."

Without thinking, she directly pulled the Tang Knife out from the wall and cut off a lock of her long ponytail for you.

Looking at the lock of hair in the palm of your hand, you were at a loss for words.

Clearly, one hair would have been enough, yet she insisted on giving you a lock, truly some stubborn women.

You took out a piece of Talisman Paper from your pocket and, under everyone’s watchful eye, quickly fashioned it into a small paper figure. Then you took out five hairs and tied them to the limbs and head of the filial figure.

Afterwards, you breathed onto the small paper figure and placed it in the corner of the wall, mumbling to yourself. Suddenly, the little paper figure stood up on its own!

"Wow, that’s amazing!"

Even though Sun Lin had already seen many of your miraculous Taoist spells, she was still fascinated each time you performed one.

You didn’t have time to dawdle with everyone and immediately said, "Alright, now that our numbers are once again odd, everyone follow me."

With that, you closed your eyes again, placed your hand on the wall, and led everyone forward.

About three minutes later, you stopped, and what appeared before you was a stone door.

"We’ve arrived."

Opening your eyes, you walked up to the stone door and tried to push it, but it wouldn’t budge.

"It seems there must be some sort of mechanism here," the Saintess said indifferently. She scanned the area and noticed some strange characters carved into the wall beside the stone door.

You also saw these characters and were just about to decipher them when the Saintess extended her slender finger and lightly touched several of them in sequence, tracing a circle. With a "click," the stone door slowly sank.

She gave you a glance, and you shrugged your shoulders, leading the way in.

Continue downward.

After descending a staircase equivalent to about two floors, when you stepped onto the flat ground, the sight before you made you gasp in shock.

Bones everywhere!

"This... this is too exaggerated, isn’t it?" Sun Lin shined his Wolf’s eye flashlight ahead and discovered that the corridor stretched out before them for a hundred meters, neatly lined on both sides with hundreds of skeletons!

The most critical aspect was that these skeletons looked very intact; they had not been damaged, and they were aligned neatly, as if they had been waiting together for death.

"They... they must have died peacefully, but why?" Du Xishan asked, frowning.

No one could answer his question.

"Even if these were sacrificial burials, they couldn’t have been so orderly, and judging from their skeletal frames, there was a wide range of ages. Additionally, they didn’t all come from the same era, which you could tell from their clothes."

After all, Du Xishan and Sun Lin were archaeologists, and these skeletons clearly fell within their area of study, so upon seeing so many, their interest in what was inside grew even more.

Seeing that Du Xishan and Sun Lin were preparing to step forward, you quickly held them back and said, "Hold on, let’s not rush into this. We’ve only come down to conduct an inspection, but these individuals seem different, they look like they’re here to look for something."

The Saintess smiled faintly, maintaining her soft voice, "You have guessed correctly."

"On the journey ahead, we are all grasshoppers tied to the same rope, so before we set out, I hope we can communicate with each other to clarify our intentions."

Your words won the approval of Du Xishan and Sun Lin.

They introduced themselves to the Saintess and her group first and declared that they had come to explore the ancient site.

The Saintess didn’t speak, but Shadow One stepped forward and said in a slightly low voice, "We cannot reveal our identities to you. You only need to know that we have come to search for two items. As soon as we find these items, we will leave immediately."

"Can you specify what those items are?"

After exchanging a glance with the Saintess, the latter delicately parted her lips and said, "A skirt, and a jade bracelet."

"A skirt?"

You and Du Xishan exchanged a glance, evidently finding it somewhat unbelievable.

"I can understand looking for a jade bracelet, but entering a tomb to search for a skirt—doesn’t that reason seem a bit far-fetched?" asked Sun Lin.

"Believe it or not, that’s up to you," said the Jade Maiden, afterwards falling silent.

"Let’s go," you said, turning around to face the straight corridor ahead. "Since we’ve come this far, there’s no turning back."

This time, you were absolutely not holding back because the moment you saw those skeletons, you instinctively sensed danger.

As your eyes grew hotter again, your night vision ability became even stronger, and for a moment, the entire corridor lit up as if energy-saving lights had been switched on everywhere, bright as daylight.

You led the way, your eyes sweeping over everything around like a scanner.

These skeletons one by one entered your field of vision, while you judged their dynasties from the clothes they wore.

Quickly, you became more and more astounded because the eras these people came from spanned a thousand years! The most recent one was even wearing a Sun Yat-sen suit from the Republic of China period!

Why would they be sitting here waiting for death?

Or is it that someone had placed them here?

With such questions in mind, you continued forward, but as you did, the mood of everyone grew heavier.

You didn’t know what kind of mindset those female assassins who could easily stab themselves had, having no regard for their own lives; all you knew was that your sense of unease was growing stronger and stronger.
