95 Tomb of an Inner Qi King 3 (1/2)
The moment they hover past the Tomb of Inner Qi King, a flash of light blinded their sight. When they managed to open their eyes again, the two of them and their Iron Kong-Que is already captured into an underground chamber.
For them, it was not a weird thing to happen considering the strength of the owner of this tomb. But when Zhang Wu Ji took the key out from his Spatial Ring, their description changed.
19th King's Remnant Key to the Tomb of King Jiang Nan He
-Usage: The Key has activated the moment user enter the tomb. The user can insert 100 strands of Fighter Qi to activate the unlock function on all access doors. To leave the Tomb, the User must destroy the key by paying 1,000 Strands of Fighter Qi.
”Miss Meng Ran...” Zhang Wu Ji handed the key for her to keep as he took the initiative to check their surrounding.
Up to his suspicion, his quick inspection allowed him to discover a total of fourteen footsteps belonged to different people walking around here. The number fourteen tells him that including himself, eight keyholders appeared here before them, and everyone most probably come in a different time.
His reason for such impression is because the Natural Energy gathered around them is quite dense. It indicates that no fight happened here at least for the last 24 hours. Furthermore, the ground is void of any trash that came from food, relief, and even pills or dust that appeared from sharpening their weapon.
This means, everyone rushes into the walking passage as soon as they came in.
But the Master Senior is too absorbed in his own inspection and did not notice the hint of Meng Ran trying to question him about something. The two gently take their steps to the walking passage to get rid of their footsteps.
But before they entered Walking Passage, Zhang Wu Ji heard a sound of pebbles hitting the wall. At this instant, his hand pushes Meng Ran to stay closer to the wall, unaware that his palm is touching at somewhere else! The action caused Meng Ran to become speechless at that moment.
To make thing worst, Zhang Wu Ji continues to grab her chest as he peeked into the Walking Passage. After a while, Zhang Wu Ji presumes it was safe and turned his attention to Meng Ran standing close behind him. As he gets ready to speak, Zhang Wu Ji noticed his hand is grabbing something else.
”Breast?” he was speechless with his perverted hand that attacked his respected companion. Looking at how Meng Ran's face blushed, he knows that he caused a grave mistake! Based on his experience in handling a woman, his next expectation is going to get slapped!
”Pok.” Instead of slapping Zhang Wu Ji with her 9th Stage Inner Qi Fighter Strength, Meng Ran knocked his head once and pointed at the entrance. From this attitude alone, Zhang Wu Ji knows that Meng Ran is not as aggressive as the previous Guan Qing Han.
Who knows how many slaps will Guan Qing Han sent to his face for such a small mistake. But she was gone. Still, thinking about how lucky is the previous brat to eat her first time, he got jealous of his former's heaven-defying luck.
The two of them entered the Walking Passage, and by utilizing his stealth technique, Zhang Wu Ji went forward to check on the trap and safety, but not without a string on his leg. This is prepared for the sake of pulling the Master Senior back if he went somewhere and failed to come back.
This decision is made according to her understanding of Zhang Wu Ji's Direction Blind Symptom. Even by following the breadcrumbs he can still get the wrong way, tying a part of him with a string is the best idea she can think of for now.
Suddenly, a pull came from where Zhang Wu Ji is located. Noticing that his pull is consistent, it means that he found something, and it was safe to come over immediately. When she reaches where Zhang Wu Ji stands, she looked at him injecting some Fighter Qi into the key and turned the key inside the keyhole.
”Krak...” the door is unlocked. This sight shocked Meng Ran because the previous people might come across this door too, why did they not open the door? Meng Ran questioned herself. But before she can start, Zhang Wu Ji pulled her hand as they went inside the room.
”Why...Shhh!” Meng Ran can only be alert as she entered the room.
But under the illumination like the Walking Passage, this room is filled with some high-quality Night-Glowing Pearl attached on every corner of the ceiling. The room looked like a storeroom for plenty of undegradable material due to the room's design and how the shelves are constructed.
”Brother Wu Ji!” Meng Ran called reminded him of one thing.
This tomb belonged to an Inner Qi King! Will treasures stored inside here worth lesser than a piece of Advance-Grade Pure Iron? Without further ado, the duo quickly split their works and begin collecting the treasures that were covered with an inch thick of dust.
At first, Zhang Wu Ji collection speed is almost two times faster than Meng Ran. It was due to his experience as a thief cleaning the treasure vaults of his enemy, but the moment he caught the quality of the treasure, he quickly wore out of interest.
As Meng Ran is not an experienced merchant, she got no insight against the treasure she's so excited to collect. But for Zhang Wu Ji, it was a disappointment when his UPGRADE System description pop up.
Basic-Grade 3% Tomb Silver
-
Military-Grade 6% Fool Silver
-
Military-Grade 7% Moon Silver
-
Most of them are treasures in their 2nd-Tier Quality, which wasn't extremely helpful for him at all because based on his Apprentice Hall's ability, they can collect what he got here in a single day of shopping.
Still, a toad's leg is still meat. With a few attempts of refining, this stack of trash will worth some good price once again. But as they cleared the room from treasures, the voice from two different people flowed inside the room. Looking at Meng Ran, Zhang Wu Ji shows her a quiet hand sign.
The two slotted their set of the key into the keyhole but failed to unlock the door. After struggling for a minute or two, the two started to speaks again loudly. From how they speak, this two are completely idiot in the term of Tomb Exploration.
