Chapter 671: Chapter 671 I’ll Take Responsibility
"That’s right," Yang Yu laughed, "even if you don’t rely on tomb raiding for a living in the future, you could still become official archaeological advisors!"
"Exactly, exactly, Mr. Yang, that’s just what I like to hear, haha!" Xiao Long laughed heartily, "Mr. Yang, do you need an old hand or a helping hand? Just say the word!"
"A helping hand will do." Yang Yu said, "When it comes to tomb exploration, I should be more professional than you, so I won’t be needing you."
Xiao Long: "..."
An hour later, Yang Yu, along with Xiao Ming, Mrs. Ryde, the butler Adam, and Ye Yu, headed for Shu Mountain in Yu State.
A archaeological team was already waiting there, so Yang Yu didn’t need to bring too many people.
He brought Xiao Ming to lend a hand, and the reason he brought Ye Yu was that her Demon’s Pupil and Soul Suppressing Skull were the nemesis of many evil things.
What Yang Yu didn’t expect was that Wu Kui actually followed them.
"What are you doing here?" Yang Yu frowned, "Ito, why didn’t you keep an eye on her?"
"Mr. Yang, Wu Kui said that’s her territory, and she’s familiar with it. Also, she really wanted to see the tomb of the Ancient Shu," Ito Kiko explained, "If I didn’t bring her here, she said she would die in front of me, which would result in one corpse, two lives."
With that, Ito Kiko took out a pair of scissors: "Just now, she put these scissors to her own throat."
"Alright Ito, you go back first," Yang Yu had no choice but to take Wu Kui along.
"Hehe, I knew you wouldn’t stand by and watch me die," Wu Kui said with a sly grin, "Yang Yu, don’t worry, I really just want to see the place, nothing else."
Seeing Wu Kui’s cunning eyes, Yang Yu knew that the beautiful girl was full of lies.
But Yang Yu really didn’t want to waste words with her, so he could only take her along for the time being.
Yang Yu certainly didn’t think that the girl would be harmless just because she lost her power; she needed to be watched at all times, "Xiao Yu, keep an eye on her. If she does anything unusual, kill her."
Ye Yu nodded, "Okay, Brother Yang Yu."
Wu Kui: "..."
Mrs. Ryde was very interested in Wu Kui, and on the plane, she sat next to her, "Wu miss, are you a friend of Yang Yu? What did that girl mean by one corpse, two lives?"
Wu Kui said nonchalantly, "It means I’m carrying Yang Yu’s child!"
"Oh, so you’re the girl that Mrs. Yang mentioned, the one who came crying and begging," Mrs. Ryde laughed, "Yang Yu really is a bit too much, having a child with you, and still being so stern."
"Exactly," Wu Kui humphed, "Men are heartless creatures. When they’re toying with you, that’s—*cough cough*, I didn’t say anything."
Wu Kui suddenly stopped because she saw the terrifying look in Yang Yu’s eyes.
The look of someone who wants to knife a person is something you can’t hide.
Mrs. Ryde smiled and didn’t continue the topic, "Wu miss, you said that place is your territory, can you tell us what you know?"
"That’s right," Wu Kui began, "after our Witch Clan ancestors lost that great war, they moved to this area. The tribes of our Witch Clan are settled on what the Ancient Shu gifted to us."
"If I’m not wrong, the tomb that’s been discovered there should be that of the Ancient Shu royal family."
"It’s a giant tomb complex, and the whole complex forms a large formation. If any part is damaged, the formation will activate its defenses."
"If we can’t break that Formation, there’s no way to enter."
"So that’s how it is." Mrs. Ryde was very eager to learn, "Then do you know what’s inside that giant tomb complex?"
"Countless treasures, burial objects, and..." Wu Kui paused for a moment, then still revealed, "the Rebirth Platform."
"The Rebirth Platform?" Mrs. Ryde was stunned, "What’s that?"
"A sacrificial altar," Wu Kui said, "The royal family of Ancient Shu believed that the soul could live forever, so they built this altar, hoping their people could achieve immortality and forever reign over this land."
"And to achieve eternal life for the soul, a sufficient number of souls had to be sacrificed. The Rebirth Platform was where souls were offered, which is why it’s also called ’the sacrificial altar.’"
"I see," Mrs. Ryde said, "With such a grand display, has anyone ever succeeded?"
"I don’t know, at least our Witch Clan does not have such legends," Wu Kui spread her hands, "But regarding this tomb complex, our Witch Clan has records, stating that on the day it was completed, Ancient Shu sacrificed a hundred thousand living beings."
"After the sacrifice of a hundred thousand living beings, the sky turned blood-red, and ’Nine Stars in a Row’ appeared in the dark crimson sky. Then, the tomb complex sank into the ground as if it was swallowed by the earth and completely disappeared."
"It was precisely because of this incident that the vitality of Ancient Shu was greatly damaged, and it was annihilated by Great Qin advancing from the south."
"So the Witch Clan knows of such an event." Yang Yu thought to himself, "It seems that this tomb complex really is strange and extremely dangerous..."
"But what exactly does this girl want to do in there? Or rather, does she know of some secret inside that she hasn’t told me?"
With this thought, Yang Yu felt an even stronger need to keep a close eye on Wu Kui, he couldn’t let her cause any trouble.
That afternoon, Yang Yu arrived at Yu State airport.
Upon exiting the airport, a private plane took them towards the Ancient Tomb.
The Ancient Tomb was situated in a basin amongst the many mountains of Yu State; this so-called ’Shu Mountain’ was the collective name for this range of peaks.
When Yang Yu and his party reached the Ancient Tomb, a man in his fifties with an unhappy face said, "I already told the higher-ups that our Southwest Archaeological Team can handle this excavation mission, but they insisted on sending people over."
"They say it’s for protection, but these people, I think they’re just here to have fun, to add a feather to their cap! And they brought three women, do they really think this is a tourist spot?"
Yang Yu glanced at the man’s name tag, which read "Professor: Shi Sian".
Without a doubt, this discontented professor was the leader of the archaeological team.
Professor Shi was unhappy, but his dissatisfaction soon disappeared from his face.
Because he got a clear look at Mrs. Ryde and Wu Kui’s appearances.
Not just him—the entire archaeological team of more than a dozen men became mesmerized, taking quite a while to recover their senses.
Mrs. Ryde’s beauty and Wu Kui’s beauty each had their own merits, impossible to outshine the other. They were shocked to see one, let alone two!
After a good while, Shi Sian finally came back to his senses, his tone no longer as tough as before: "You delicate women had better not go to such places, we won’t be able to look out for you in case of danger."
"Don’t worry," Yang Yu smiled, "Their safety is my responsibility."
"You?" Shi Sian couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Can you, a bunch of dilettantes who only think about playing and showing off, really be responsible?"
