Chapter 252: Going with the Flow I tossed the blood-stained bullet casing onto the ground and wrapped the bleeding wound tightly with gauze. A numbing wave of pain followed immediately. Leaning against the cave wall, my vision swam in dizzying pulses. I sat on the ground for a while to recover; the pain was so intense I felt the urge to vomit. Having eaten nothing, I had nothing to bring up, so I simply dry-heaved a few times before using the wall to pull myself to my feet. He Yu came over to support…-

Chapter 251: The Bullet He Yu attached three safety buckles to the last twenty-meter rope, clipping them onto my belt and Old Qian's. He had jammed the end of the rope into some rock crevice - he didn't even know which one - but as long as it held for ten seconds, we had a chance of survival. This was a last resort. We had lost our supply packs back in the Royal City, and this solitary rope was far too thin. We certainly couldn't count on it holding for long. In other words, my signal to He Yu wasn't…

Chapter 250: Flight I first had Old Qian help me steady the two flashlights, which were beginning to dim. Using the ring of starlight shadows they cast, I constructed a coordinate system in my mind. With this system, I could pinpoint the vertical and horizontal positions of each star. After a quick survey, I knelt on the ground and opened my tool kit. I pulled out a curved Cloud-Probing Needle. This needle was specialized, featuring a small spring at the tip that allowed it to automatically expand…

Chapter 249: Decoding Tian Xiao looked at me and said, "If my information is correct, you already have a certain understanding of the Nine-Ring Jade Casket." His sudden question instantly severed the faint connections forming in my mind. I didn't know where he had gotten his information, but I had to admit he was right. I had already sketched out the basic internal diagram of the casket. Opening it was simply a matter of arranging the beads inside correctly; I was just one step away from…

Chapter 248: The Trump Card Tian Xiao circled the area and returned, his expression grave as he spoke to me. "There is no Houtu Blood here. Could the legends be false?" Lu Ayao had guessed correctly; their true objective was indeed to find the legendary elixir of immortality. Our current position should have been the deepest part of the tomb. The stone coffin in the center of the Underworld Hall was undoubtedly the sarcophagus of the King of Gune. If the legends of the Houtu Blood were true, he…

Chapter 247: The Bronze Coffin The moment the trigger was pulled, the gun suddenly exploded right next to my ear. That damn rifle actually backfired! The explosion instantly took out the guy who fired it. The gun must have been soaked through when it fell into the water earlier. This model wasn't waterproof. I thought it would be fine once it dried out, but clearly, I was wrong. When I was fighting the giant bats earlier, the gun had been knocked away before I could use it. It was a stroke of luck that…

Chapter 246: Imminent Disaster After a moment's consideration, I decided I couldn't let Old Qian and Han Zhuo keep eating like this. Even if it were real mutton, eating at that pace would lead to disaster. I quickly conferred with He Yu, and we decided to use the hemp rope found in the shop to tie up the two crazed men. He Yu would stay behind to watch them while I scouted the nearby area for any other clues. Old Qian and Han Zhuo's eyes were bloodshot. When they looked up from their bowls, they gave…

Chapter 245: Mutton Soup Old Qian spoke from the side as I carried my gun over to one of the dried corpses. This was the first cross-legged corpse at the end of the hall, dressed in a gold-threaded embroidered robe with a crown on its head. A jade tablet lay by its feet, inscribed with the words: "Guide to the Underworld, Pass for Clearance." In ancient times, entering a city required a travel permit or a guide document, and I figured this was likely one of those. There were smaller characters carved on…
