Tomb raiding: The awesome life that started from Ganggangyingzi

Chapter 167 A Mountain of Treasure and a Terrifying Ghost Cave

"puff…"

Old Hu and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance and almost burst out laughing.

He had a serious expression on his face, and the two of them thought it was some earth-shattering secret, but it turned out to be just him showing off his affection and making shameless excuses.

"Then we thank you for your kindness and care, but what kind of quantifier is 'some'?"

Yang Xueli and Laura pinched Ji Haobo's waist, glaring at him coquettishly.

"Uh...uh, well...we'll talk about that when we get back. Right now, everyone should be careful. I sensed some strange fluctuations."

Ji Bo was somewhat regretful. Why did he make such a joke? Wasn't he just asking for trouble? He could only use a teleportation technique to escape.

As expected, Yang Xueli and the others did not continue to entangle them, because after the stone door was broken open, the Heavenly Coffin Blessing on their bodies did indeed show abnormalities, constantly emitting a warm feeling.

"Brother Bo, could this be a curse? But we haven't even seen the Ghost Cave yet!"

Old Hu and Fatty Wang exchanged a glance. Even with the blessing and protection of the Heavenly Coffin, they were still a little uneasy after hearing so many legends about the Ghost Cave.

"Don't overthink it, I didn't say it was a curse."

Ji Haobo walked ahead without saying much, because he didn't know what it was either, and could only guess that it was probably the Corpse Fragrance Devil's Tongue causing the trouble.

The group walked along the passage carved out of the mountain crack for a hundred meters or so, and then a cliff appeared on the side.

Ji Haobo stopped and stared blankly down below. Seeing this, the others nervously leaned against the cliff face.

"Hao...Haobo, is this the Ghost Cave down below?"

Looking down into the darkness, Yang Xueli, her heart pounding with fear, couldn't help but lean closer.

"No, you'll know once you fire a flare."

Hearing that this wasn't the Ghost Cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Laura pulled the flare gun from her leg without saying a word.

"boom…"

As the flare rose, its dazzling light flashed, instantly reflecting a golden halo below the cliff.

A large amount of gold and silver jewelry, gold coins, jade artifacts, and various antique items were piled up like small mountains.

Ji Haobo even saw a golden throne that was more than two meters long, inlaid with various gemstones.

"This this…"

Not to mention that the greedy Fatty Wang was so shocked that his eyes popped out, even Yang Xueli and the others were too shocked to speak.

If these items were sold, the profits would be astronomical, and the antique industry would be devastated.

"Uncle Bo, quick... quick, get the rope, let's go down and get the treasure!"

Wang Pangzi snapped out of his daze and paced anxiously around Ji Haobo.

The others were speechless. Logically speaking, this guy wasn't short of money. Ji Haobo had given him plenty, and he could take whatever he wanted.

Just like Big Gold Tooth, Fatty Wang's wealth has absolutely nothing to do with greed; it's simply a matter of habit.

The cliff wasn't high, only about thirty meters from the bottom. Ji Haobo took out a bundle of rope and handed it to Lao Hu and the others, then grabbed Yang Xueli and Laura with one arm each and jumped down.

Everything was made of gold and jade, and there wasn't even a place to stand; gold coins were scattered everywhere.

"My goodness! There's so much gold here!"

"I guess the Queen of Jingjue plundered all the treasures of the Western Regions back then, right? No wonder the other countries rebelled!"

The two guys came down and immediately lay down and rolled around in the gold coins, leaving Ji Haobo and the others speechless and shaking their heads.

Think about those two unlucky guys in the story; they're practically walking jinxes. No matter what kind of tomb they're in, it always ends up in ruins, and they can count the loot on one hand.

"Alright, get out of the way, I need to pack my things."

With so many items, Ji Haobo's dimensional space set was simply not enough.

He directly used the Heavenly Coffin to project a corner of a miniature grotto-heaven before packing everything up.

It's a pity there are no card draw points, and I don't know why.

After the group climbed back up, they calmed their excitement and continued along the path on the cliff face.

The further they went, the stronger the blessing from the Heavenly Coffin became on Lao Hu and the others. Trembling with fear, they arrived at the end of the path.

Ahead lay endless darkness, so Lara fired several flares.

A dazzling light emanated, instantly illuminating a boundless underground space.

The surrounding rock walls and the hundreds-of-meters-high dome are covered with a large number of various minerals, which reflect colorful light under the flares.

The dazzling light created a dreamlike atmosphere, but it also revealed an endless black hole below, a blackness that was breathtaking.

The group stood still, staring at the black hole in front of them, and at that moment they felt how insignificant they were.

This captivated everyone except Ji Haobo, leaving them staring blankly at the black hole.

If it weren't for the unusually hot sensation caused by the Heavenly Coffin Blessing waking them up, they might have become mentally impaired.

"Huff...huff huff, the Ghost Cave truly lives up to its name; just one look almost killed Fatty on the spot."

The four of them had just breathed a sigh of relief, but before they could even wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads, Ji Haobo spoke up while staring down at the bottom of the ghost cave.

"I'm already here, aren't you going to show yourself, Uchannaga Sea?"

Old Hu and the others were startled upon hearing this and quickly followed his gaze.

A dozen meters below the ghost cave, a stone beam stood horizontally, upon which rested a coffin about two meters long, and on top of it grew a huge purple flower bud.

They knew without a doubt that it was the coffin of the Queen of Jingjue, but what did Master Bo mean by that?

The Queen of Jingjue is named Wuchan Naga Hai? She's not dead yet, and is fast asleep inside? Isn't that absurd? It's been one or two thousand years!

Or has she turned into a rice dumpling or a ghost, hiding inside and secretly watching us?

Just as they were lost in thought, the purple flower buds suddenly bloomed one by one.

A phantom figure appears in the flower's heart, dressed in a bright red robe, wearing a crown, and with its face obscured by gold.

"I have finally waited for you, my man!"

Although no one could understand the language she spoke, her voice was not only full of captivating charm, but also contained spiritual power, making the meaning of her words clear to everyone.

For a moment, not only were Lao Hu and the others dumbfounded, but Yang Xueli and her companion glared angrily at them, and even Ji Haobo was speechless.

"Uh, well... how did you know that there is someone as handsome and dashing as me in the world, as extraordinary as a star in the night sky?"

Like the blazing summer sun, its majestic presence is eye-catching;

And yet, like the bright moon in the sky, like a graceful immortal descending to earth, and yet again… Oops! Wife, what are you doing?

Ji Haobo touched his waist, turned his head, and looked at Yang Xueli, who was glaring at him.

"Are you ever going to stop? You can just say a couple of things to praise yourself, but aren't you tired of praising yourself like this?"

"Bo, your cultural knowledge is amazing! You've been praising yourself for so long, and you haven't repeated a single one."

"Yes, yes, yes, Master Bo, your shameless self-praise is truly a model for us all. Fatty and I, Lao Hu, have really learned something today."

"Slander! This is pure slander!"

Ji Haobo glared at the group and angrily rebuked them.

"I'm just telling the truth, otherwise why would Nana have waited for me for thousands of years? You agree, right, my dear Wu Chan?"
