Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Pattern

"Yang Yu, stop right now!" Wu Kui bellowed, "You’ve startled the resentful souls here, these murals are used to suppress them!"

Not only did Yang Yu not stop, but Ye Yu made her move again.

The Soul Suppressing Skull in her hand shone with a dazzling golden light, sucking in all the Demon illusions!

Only then did the members of the archaeological team heave a long sigh of relief, feeling as if a burden had been lifted.

Terrifying, utterly terrifying.

They had explored so many ancient tombs, but never had they seen any tomb as eerie and lethal as this one!

Yang Yu stowed away the Wuhou Eight Diagrams, his face cold, "Wu Kui, you clearly knew the purpose of these paintings, yet you deliberately chose not to tell me. What are your intentions?"

"Yang Yu, I truly didn’t know at first," Wu Kui spread his hands, "It was only after your Wuhou Eight Diagrams activated the function of these totems that I found out. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do."

"Hmph," Yang Yu snorted coldly and stopped paying attention to Wu Kui. He turned to look at Ye Yu, "Xiao Yu, are you alright?"

"I’m fine." Ye Yu held the Soul Suppressing Skull, which was still flickering, a strange light in her eyes, "Brother Yang Yu, after absorbing these resentful souls, the Soul Suppressing Skull’s power has increased several times over!"

"That’s good," Yang Yu nodded, feeling very relieved in his heart.

The Soul Suppressing Skull, an entity that required resentful souls to nourish, but Yang Yu would never allow Ye Yu to kill indiscriminately to harvest resentful souls.

Therefore, the resentful souls from places like this were undoubtedly the best nourishment for the Soul Suppressing Skull.

It wasn’t Yang Yu and Ye Yu who had killed these people; by absorbing them, Ye Yu was actually ridding the people of harm, doing so with full legitimacy.

If Shi Sian’s archaeological team had any prejudices against Yang Yu and his companions before, they had now cast them aside entirely.

Yang Yu and his group were indeed there to protect them, and each of them possessed exceptional skills.

Indeed, appearances can be deceiving!

Therefore, Shi Sian’s tone became much more polite towards Yang Yu, "Mr. Yang, have you found a way out?"

"The Life Gate is over there." Yang Yu walked towards a Stone Door to the east, with everyone following behind him.

But just as they had taken a few steps, a Stone Door suddenly appeared at the entrance from which they had come, sealing it closed.

The next moment, nine Stone Doors began to spin at high speed, so fast that it blurred everyone’s vision!

"No, it’s not the Stone Doors that are moving, it’s the ground beneath our feet," Yang Yu closed his eyes, using his spiritual power to sense the movements around him.

During such times, eyes are the most easily deceived; sensing with spiritual power is relatively better.

Alas, when the ground stopped spinning, Yang Yu had already lost his previous sense of the Life Gate.

It seemed they were still in the same place, but the positions of the nine doors had changed.

The reason Yang Yu knew the positions of the nine doors had changed was because the sequence of the patterns on them had also been altered!

"It seems I have to use the Wuhou Eight Diagrams once again." Yang Yu formed seals with his hands, stepped on the Eight Diagrams, and another Wuhou Eight Diagrams matrix rose from beneath his feet.

However, this time, the Wuhou Eight Diagrams had no resonance with the surrounding terrain whatsoever, and he could not sense the presence of the Life Gate at all!

"The Wuhou Eight Diagrams can’t find the Life Gate anymore?" Wu Kui noticed something was amiss right away and sighed helplessly, "Yang Yu, I never expected even you to be trapped here!"

"Yeah, do you have any method?" Yang Yu also sighed following her lead, "If you do, I’ll transfer my power to you, and you can give it a try?"

"Transfer your power to me and have me try?" Wu Kui’s eyes lit up, then she reverted to her previous helplessness, "It’s no use if I try, I really don’t understand, stop testing me."

As for the Witch Clan High Priest, who seemed to be full of lies, Yang Yu didn’t believe her one bit.

He even felt that the reason this woman insisted on coming with him was definitely because she knew the secret of the Ancient Tomb, or wanted to get something from here.

If it wasn’t for her loss of power, needing his help, she would have certainly taken off on her own.

Even though Yang Yu had this thought, Wu Kui outright denied it and he was helpless against her.

This woman couldn’t be coerced; after all, she carried his child in her womb.

"Yang Yu, how about letting Housekeeper Adam give it a try?" Mrs. Ryde suddenly suggested, "Back in his youth, Adam was an adventurer, exploring many Ancient Tomb ruins around the world; he is very experienced."

"If Housekeeper Adam can handle the exit, of course that’s fine," Yang Yu said, "Housekeeper Adam, please step in and help everyone."

"Okay." Adam took out a compass, looked at the needle, and pondered for quite a while, "We were heading from south to north previously, and the terrain of this mountain range slopes up from the south to the north. According to architectural theory, to support a massive Ancient Tomb, the foundation below must be robust. Also, the main tomb chamber would likely be located in the very center of the Ancient Tomb."

"Based on my years of adventuring experience, I think this door leads to the main tomb chamber, while the other doors lead towards the direction of the foundation."

Yang Yu walked up to the door, pressed his hand against it, trying to sense the Feng Shui on the other side.

However, he discovered that the door completely blocked out all his power, preventing him from sensing anything on the other side.

Strange, this place is too strange!

Since no one else was able to find any other exits or entrances, it was time to trust Adam!

Just as Yang Yu prepared to push open that Stone Door, Wu Kui suddenly spoke up: "Yang Yu, Nine Stars in a Row, that pattern on the door, it’s the symbol of one of the stars."

Yang Yu turned back, looking at Wu Kui with frustration: "I thought you didn’t know?"

"I only just thought of it," Wu Kui replied unfazed, still with a playful smile, "And even if I guessed it’s one of the nine stars, I don’t understand which star it is, what it represents..."

"The symbol represented by this pattern is the sun," Mrs. Ryde interjected, "I’ve read through Xia Country’s ’Strange Beasts Record,’ which mentions a bird called the Three-legged Golden Crow. And this pattern is exactly that, the Three-legged Golden Crow."

Wu Kui looked at Mrs. Ryde in astonishment, a trace of wariness flickered in her eyes.

This foreign woman, her understanding of Xia Country surpasses many from Xia Country itself!

Yang Yu watched Mrs. Ryde with an amused smile: "Ancient emperors always liked to compare themselves to the sun, so Mrs. Ryde, you believe this door leads to the main tomb, right?"

"Yes," Mrs. Ryde smiled and nodded, "Of course, this is just my personal speculation, in the end, the final decision is yours to make, Yang Yu."

Listening to the conversation between Yang Yu and the others, Shi Sian and his team of archaeologists felt like idiots.

At that moment, all the archaeological knowledge they’d learned was of no use whatsoever, completely inapplicable.

Previously they’d thought Yang Yu and his group were burdens, but now it seemed they were the real dead weights!
