Chapter 1450 - Tricked!
Chapter 1450: Tricked!
In the depths of the Heaven Expanding Mountain Range, in a long tunnel, two furtive figures were advancing carefully.
Little Fatty walked at the front with a map in his left hand and a geomantic compass in his right. From time to time, he would match the map and continue digging.
“The commotion of Enigma Palace seems a little too great?”
Shi Jian followed behind and muttered softly.
At that moment, they were deep underground and the voices of the people above could no longer be heard. However, the sounds of the battle broke out from time to time!
The ground shook and mud would splash occasionally. Although they had yet to even catch sight of the tomb, their faces were covered in dirt.
“Who knows? Logically speaking, the Asura should have been killed by the Exquisite Killing Formation a long time ago. Could something have happened?”
Shi Jian shook his head.
By the time Su Zimo and the others arrived, Shi Jian and Little Fatty had already dug underground and did not know what was happening above—they merely heard the endless sounds of battle.
“Who cares? The more they fight, the better! That way, we won’t have any chance of being exposed,”
Shi Jian shook his head and said casually before continuing to study the treasure map.
“Are you sure you can do it? It’s been so long but we haven’t even caught a glimpse of the tomb!”
Shi Jian came over and grumbled.
Little Fatty was also sweating profusely as he said embarrassedly, “The location of this tomb is indeed difficult to locate. Furthermore, there are many seals. Along the way, we’ve already broken dozens of seals.”
“There’s truly something strange about this Heaven Expanding Mountain Range. Ever since we entered, my geomantic compass is no longer useful and I can’t differentiate directions.”
“Are we lost?!”
Shi Jian was shocked.
“No!”
Little Fatty shook his head hurriedly. “Don’t worry. Judging from the location of the map, we’re almost there. This tomb is so secluded with many layers of seals, there’s definitely great treasures within!”
“Hurry and work harder!”
Little Fatty urged.
Shi Jian controlled the five elements puppets and continued to dig forward according to Little Fatty’s instructions.
Using the puppets to open up the path would save time and energy. Furthermore, he and Little Fatty won’t be implicated even if there were any dangers.
A moment later, Little Fatty hollered, “Stop!”
Shi Jian’s spirit consciousness moved and the five elements puppets stopped.
“Look at the location. It should be around the left side. I’ll do it personally!”
Rubbing his chubby palms, Little Fatty raised his spatula and started digging to the left.
Before long, he lifted the spatula.
Little Fatty’s eyes lit up as he grinned. “Success! I finally dug through it!”
“I’ll go and pick my treasures first!”
Shi Jian was invigorated and pushed Little Fatty away hurriedly. He dug around the hole a few times before entering through it!
He was halfway in when he raised his head and was stunned.
Little Fatty was waiting at the back. When he saw Shi Jian stop halfway through the climb, he could not help but urge, “Hurry and go in! Don’t stay here!”
Unable to wait any longer, Little Fatty pushed Shi Jian over with both hands before climbing ahead himself.
After entering the tomb, Little Fatty looked around excitedly with widened eyes.
The chamber was a little strange. It was not big and could be seen at a glance. It was empty with nothing but a person.
“Mmm?”
Stunned, Little Fatty glared at the person before him with widened eyes!
Why was there someone here?!
That person’s back was facing them and he exuded a lifeforce. Clearly, he was not a dead man but a living being!
Right then, the person turned around slowly and sighed. “You guys are finally here. You’re killing me!”
“Lin Xuanji!”
Little Fatty and Shi Jian exclaimed.
The person in the chamber was Lin Xuanji who had invited the two of them here!
“How unlucky!”
Shi Jian remarked indignantly, “To think that this lad beat us to it and wasted our efforts again!”
“Something’s not right!”
Little Fatty frowned. He looked around and felt that something was amiss. “This isn’t a tomb chamber!”
Shi Jian gradually came to his senses as well and mumbled, “This looks like a prison!”
Lin Xuanji coughed gently with an embarrassed expression.
Gradually, Little Fatty realized something and yelled, “Lin Xuanji, f*ck! You were locked here and actually created a treasure map to trick the two of us here to dig a tomb!”
Little Fatty charged forward with bloodshot eyes and a furious expression. He gripped Lin Xuanji’s neck tightly, wanting nothing more than to kill the latter!
“F*ck! Lin Xuanji, you sure are evil!”
Shi Jian snapped out of his stupor as well and could not help but curse.
“Alright, alright! That’s enough!”
Lin Xuanji struggled for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief and saying while panting, “I’m not lying. There are indeed treasures here!”
“Where? Take them out!”
Little Fatty spread his hands and demanded angrily.
From the looks of it, if Lin Xuanji could not produce any treasures, he would have to rush up and kill the latter!
Lin Xuanji coughed and pointed to himself, saying self-righteously, “I’m the greatest treasure. What treasure is more precious than me?”
“Fu*k!”
Little Fatty and Shi Jian felt their stomachs rumble and almost vomited on the spot.
The two of them truly had no way of dealing with such a shameless person.
“Silly Jian, haven’t you been pestering me to let you pick a treasure? This great treasure is for you!” Little Fatty pointed at Lin Xuanji.
Shi Jian’s face was filled with rejection as he remarked in disdain, “I don’t want that! This old lad is way too much! He’s even more of a scam than you!”
“Brothers, I had no choice either,”
Lin Xuanji explained, “I was plotted against by my fellow sect mates and was locked here with no way out.”
“What about the treasure map you sent out?”
Little Fatty glanced askance.
“I still have some tricks up my sleeves. It’s not difficult for me to send a message,”
Lin Xuanji said, “No matter how much I think about it, only two of you can save me! Brothers, you’ve been in the tomb robbing business for many years and are experienced. No one can match you.”
“Be it the tomb of a Mighty Figure or a Patriarch, both of you are able to come and go as you please. There are layers of seals beneath here and no one can determine the direction. Brothers, the two of you were the only ones who could go against all odds to locate this place eventually.”
“Brothers, although you’re only Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords, even Conjoint Body Mighty Figures and Mahayana Patriarchs can’t compare to such methods of yours!”
“Given your capabilities, both of you will definitely leave your names in history…”
Little Fatty had a glib tongue and praised Little Fatty and Shi Jian fervently.
Shi Jian was already completely lost and immersed in the fantasy of having his name passed down through history.
Little Fatty was the only one who was trying his best to control himself. However, he could not stop the smugness in his eyes.
“Cough!”
Finally, Little Fatty coughed gently and waved it off pretentiously. “It’s better to keep a low profile for something like this. It’s enough that you know about it. Don’t spread it.”
“We’re brothers, not people who value fame and fortune,”
Shi Jian added.
“Y-Y-Yes!”
Lin Xuanji nodded hurriedly. “Brothers, you are the most aloof from worldly affairs among the people I know.”
“Brothers, you have righteous personalities and you’re filled with the strongest sense of justice…”
Little Fatty and Shi Jian were invigorated and beamed brightly. Suddenly, it felt as though this trip was completely worth it.
Lin Xuanji rolled his eyes—even if the two of them could take it, he was almost about to throw up from whatever he was saying!
