”Everyone knows that Xu Fu is Emperor Qin's most trusted individual. When Emperor Qin's first sat on the throne, he personally asked Xu Fu to design his tomb! In other words, every single trap here had been singlehandedly designed by Xu Fu! After the tomb was built, Xu Fu was assigned to a journey to look for the Immortality Pill. He then took this opportunity to permanantly stay in Japan and never returned to Qin again. Some years later, Emperor Qin died. In order to make sure that the location of Emperor Qin's tomb would remain a secret, all tens of thousands of his people who helped with the tomb were sealed within it! This means that Xu Fu would be the only person left in this world who knows the true location of Emperor Qin's tomb. Wishing for his future offspring to enter the tomb one day, Xu Fu decided to use a secret technique to craft nine pieces of Orochi Scales!”
After hearing the explanation, everyone nodded their heads indicating that they were familiar about the subject and had heard about this before. However, doubt was still sewn on everyone's faces. For one, they could not figure out why Chen Xiaobei would them about it.
”Still can't understand? This tomb was built by Xu Fu and the scales were supposed to be passed to his offspring. Of course the evil spirits treated us as allies the moment we unlocked the doors with the scales! That is why the fires were automatically lit just now!” exclaimed Chen Xiaobei.
”Ohh... now it makes sense to me! Xu Fu was considered to be one of the most talented prodigies during the Qin Dynasty! The defensive formation that he setup here is strong enough to defend the tomb from all kinds of elites on Warth! His offspring would have been killed here if he didn't leave a backdoor for them!” said Long Zishan.
”That must be it! The backdoor was built when Xu Fu constructed this tomb! With the nine pieces of Orochi Scales, his offspring could do whatever they wanted here!” said Six Ear-Macaque and Xiangyu agreed as well.
From afar, Dio nodded his head to indicate that he too agreed with what Chen Xiaobei had just said.
”Since the tomb has recognized us as the offspring of Xu Fu, the hundreds of people that charged forward just now should be safe, right?” asked Liu Xuanxin while staring at the path behind the jade doors.
All the spirits along the way were killed by Pure Yang Spiritual Items when they charged forward earlier. Seemingly, it was a smooth journey for them.
”If we walk the path without making any hostile moves, I can assure you nothing untoward would happen to us! However, the moment those idiots attacked the sprits, all of them are obviously now considered as enemies!” said Chen Xiaobei.
”Enemies?!! Are you trying to say that the defensive formation would no longer consider us as Xu Fu's offspring?” asked Liu Xuanxin.
”That's right!” said Chen Xiaobei with his head nodded.
Rumble…
A loud rumbling sound could be heard from the path.
”Arghh… Help me! What kind of monster is that…? So powerful… this is too powerful… Save me…”
Soon, all hundreds who ventured in weapons blazing started to beg for someone to save them in an extremely hysterical manner. Clearly, they were attacked by some kind of monster as they walked down the path.
”Oh god! Xiaobei! You got it right again!” shouted Liu Xuanxin, eyes wide open in shock.
Everyone around him were filled with awe by Chen Xiaobei's sharp mind. His excellent deduction skills had once again allowed him to foresee the threat ahead of him. Naturally, those who refused to listen to him had pay the hefty price of their lives.
”Faction Leader Chen! What should we do now?” asked Long Zishan.
