Chapter 46 Taking it all away, pot and all.
Wu Sansheng took the opportunity to look towards the entrance of the main tomb, but only saw a figure from behind.
But it was enough for him to recognize that this person was Cheng Feng.
When he looked down at the passage below, he felt terrible.
The already narrow passage was now completely filled with black snakes, leaving no room to even step.
"What exactly did this guy get in the Jingjue Ancient City?"
Wu Sansheng frowned. This ability to summon and control venomous snakes out of thin air was simply too overpowered; there was no chance of a direct confrontation.
At this moment, Cheng Feng had already arrived at the underground palace left behind by Wang Zanghai.
Looking up, I saw that the glowing objects were fifty luminous pearls, each the size of a goose egg.
They were scattered and inlaid on the ceiling, illuminating the entire tomb chamber as if it were daytime.
Cheng Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at a building model in the very center of the tomb chamber.
This is the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, built under the supervision of Wang Zanghai.
At the center of the model of the Heavenly Palace in the Clouds, there is a mummified corpse dressed in official robes sitting cross-legged.
Its body is withered, but its facial features are still visible, giving it a somewhat Buddhist golden statue feel.
In addition, there are eight sea monkey statues surrounding the tomb as decoration.
Beneath each statue is a bronze mirror the size of a washbasin.
These statues and mirrors surround the heavenly palace, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Cheng Feng knew that Wang Zanghai had turned the mummified corpse into a trap, which would reveal bait left by Wang Zanghai once triggered.
Cheng Feng was interested in the bait and wasn't afraid of hooks, so he stepped onto the Heavenly Palace model.
As he stood in front of the mummified corpse, he faintly felt a slight rustling under his feet.
Soon, the mummified corpse slowly raised its arm and pointed to a bronze mirror in the corner of the wall.
At the same time, all eight bronze mirrors in all eight directions began to move.
They rotated at different angles, eventually directing the light from the luminous pearl onto the bronze mirror that the mummified corpse was pointing to.
The light shone through the bronze mirror and reflected its image on the wall behind it.
This image depicts the construction process of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds, and it differs from the image on the porcelain vase in the side chamber.
The images here are more detailed, pointing out that the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds is located on Changbai Mountain.
It also indicated that a fire destroyed the walkway, triggering a massive avalanche that submerged the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds.
Cheng Feng's purpose was not this thing; he looked at a mirror behind him.
Because of the adjustment of the angle, a dark passage was revealed behind the mirror.
"The Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish should not have been taken by Wu Sansheng yet. It's not very useful to me, but it's still a bargaining chip."
With that thought in mind, Cheng Feng jumped off the model of the Heavenly Palace and headed towards the secret passage.
The passage was initially very narrow, but it became spacious once you went in.
After passing through the secret passage, Cheng Feng arrived at a hidden dark room where a white coral tree stood.
This white coral is exquisitely beautiful; even in Wang Zanghai's time, it would have been an extremely rare treasure.
What makes the white coral even more extraordinary is that its branches are covered with bronze bells hung with red ropes.
This bronze bell also appeared in the Seven Star Lu Palace, on the body of the corpse beetle centipede symbiote.
To avoid hurting his ears, Cheng Feng opened his ghost eyes and carried away the entire coral tree, pot and all.
"It's just gathering dust here. Once I find a suitable base in the future, it can serve as a theft prevention measure."
Cheng Feng's mood improved considerably after his success, and he immediately went to the spot where the coral tree had been placed.
A treasure box was left where the bronze bell had originally been hidden.
Cheng Feng picked up the treasure box, opened it, and took a look. Inside was the snake-browed bronze fish that Wang Zanghai had deliberately left behind.
After obtaining the snake-browed bronze fish, Cheng Feng planned to leave.
We still need to deal with the archaeological team. It doesn't matter what they do behind the scenes, but on the surface, we still need to maintain unity and friendship.
When Cheng Feng came out of the tomb, Wu Sansheng glanced at Cheng Feng's face, confirmed his guess, and quickly looked away.
Only after Cheng Feng left did Wu Sansheng finally spit lightly as a sign of his defiance.
With his exceptional ability to hold his breath, Cheng Feng left the underwater tomb.
When they reached the sea, Wu Sansheng and Xie Lianhuan's small boat was gone.
Only the large ship that Qi Yu, that wealthy old man, brought was still quietly moored there.
Cheng Feng was in a hurry, so he planned to return the same way he came.
Cheng Feng swam to the side of the large ship at an extremely fast speed and climbed onto the deck of the ship in the same way.
This time he didn't plan to sneak around. He first helped the crew put away the anchor, and then strode into the cabin.
Cheng Feng, familiar with the route, arrived at the bridge of the large ship.
Upon opening the door, one could see a middle-aged man sleeping in a chair.
This man was actually quite clever; he had already woken up when Cheng Feng pushed the door open and was just pretending to be asleep.
"Stop pretending. Didn't Qi Yu tell you that you should just obey when someone comes out? Don't try to be clever."
As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, the man sat up.
His expression was initially surprised, but he quickly regained his composure, and while sizing up Cheng Feng, he spoke:
"Please let me know what you need me to do."
"Get back to the dock as fast as you can. I've already taken the anchor for you. Set off immediately."
A dark glint flashed in the man's eyes, and he nodded in agreement.
What would normally be an hour and a half journey was completed in just over an hour at full speed.
After the captain docked the ship at its original position on the pier, Cheng Feng opened his ghost eyes.
When Cheng Feng left, there was no one left on the ship; they had all traveled into the imaginary space.
It was 3:10 a.m. when we got back to the ship.
While there was still time, Cheng Feng lay back down on the bed and took a nap.
At exactly six o'clock in the morning, Cheng Feng opened his eyes, got up and stretched his limbs, feeling full of energy.
With that kind of energy, no one would guess that he went out for a long time last night and even killed a drought demon along the way.
When I arrived at the ship's main hall, I saw Chen Wenjin writing something on the table.
Wu Sansheng, who should be in the tomb, was sitting opposite Chen Wenjin with his eyes half-closed, looking as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"Cheng Feng, you're awake."
Chen Wenjin greeted Cheng Feng.
The fake Wu Sansheng beside her greeted Cheng Feng with a "Good morning" without showing any sign of anything amiss.
After chatting with the two for a few minutes, Cheng Feng went to the restaurant for dinner.
They happened to run into Huo Ling at the restaurant, greeted each other good morning, and then ate breakfast together.
When Cheng Feng and Huo Ling returned to the hall, they found that almost everyone from the archaeological team was there.
Even the delivery guy who rarely goes out didn't miss it.
"Sister Wenjin?"
Huo Ling walked to the group with some confusion.
Chen Wenjin said, "You two, please sit down. There are some things I need to tell everyone."
After hearing this, Cheng Feng and Huo Ling sat down in the chairs.
Chen Wenjin seemed to completely ignore the fact that two people were still missing, and spoke directly:
"Before I finish speaking, I hope everyone will listen to me before asking questions, okay?"
After everyone nodded, Chen Wenjin continued:
"The first thing we need to do is set off today for the underwater tomb."
The second thing is that Jie Lianhuan and Qi Yu secretly left last night. I suspect they went to the underwater tomb first.
The third thing…
