Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 87 Kunlun Fetus

Everyone started running behind Cheng Fengdong, and then subconsciously glanced up.

Then, a massive wave of snow was seen sweeping down from the Little Sacred Peak.

Fortunately, the group was not far apart, and as the last person ran into the tomb passage, the avalanche followed closely behind.

Cheng Feng continued running forward with the group for another ten meters or so before finally stopping.

Because the entrance was covered by an avalanche, the place was plunged into darkness for a time, and Cheng Feng had to stop and wait for everyone to take out their flashlights.

When the flashlight beam came on, everyone was stunned by the magnificent view before them.

All around was a layer of crystal-like ice, and the reflected light from the flashlights made the place as bright as day.

"Look at the boss!"

Following the light from one of the Xieling brothers, the group saw a marvel created by nature.

Inside the thick layer of ice, a baby, resembling one still in the womb, is curled up.

It is enormous, measuring a hundred meters in length, yet it is remarkably lifelike, sleeping like a real baby.

"This is the legendary Kunlun Embryo, also known as the Earth-born Embryo, which is said to be a unique creature conceived by nature."

Cheng Feng explained to everyone while admiring the Kunlun fetus.

Standing beside Cheng Feng, Chen Wenjin asked in surprise, "Could it still be alive?"

"There's a theory, for example, that Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, in Wu Cheng'en's novels, was supposedly born from the earth."

From a feng shui perspective, a body born from the earth is a divinely ordained auspicious burial site; the final burial place of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan was within the body of such a being.

Upon hearing this, the members of the Unloading Ridge faction naively thought that if they were to meet that day,

They must return here and bury their leader's head in the Kunlun fetus. The Yellow Emperor must also treat their leader the same way.

If Cheng Feng didn't have mind-reading abilities, he really should thank these good subordinates!

"If that's the case, could there be people buried inside the womb of this earth-born fetus?"

Huo Ling's doubts immediately drew the attention of the Xieling members.

What? We always have our head spots taken by others, shouldn't we dig them out?

“This Kunlun fetus is clean; I can see it clearly. There are no other impurities in its body.”

Cheng Feng's words cleared up everyone's doubts and put them at ease.

"Let's keep going. It's too cold here. Staying still for too long can easily make you sick."

With that, Cheng Feng, dressed in light clothing, took the lead and continued walking down the ice path.

Ten minutes later, they arrived below the Kunlun fetus and looked up to see the enormous baby clearly.

The ice track spirals downwards, so you don't feel any tilt while walking on it; otherwise, it would be a giant slide.

Soon, at the end of the ice tunnel, a stone gate carved with intricate patterns appeared.

Led by Cheng Feng, the group entered the stone gate and were greeted by a spacious hall.

The hall was exceptionally spacious, with only stone pillars covered in white frost.

From above the main hall, one could clearly see the ice path that Cheng Feng and the others had walked on, as well as the enormous Kunlun embryo.

"I never imagined that the burial mausoleums of the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds were built under the Kunlun Mountains. I really can't imagine what a feng shui treasure the main tomb must be."

Chen Wenjin looked at the Kunlun fetus above and couldn't help but sigh.

Cheng Feng chuckled lightly: "That's the ultimate place, what's a mere Kunlun fetus compared to that?"

After saying this, Cheng Feng called to the others and continued walking deeper into the tomb.

Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling were both pondering the meaning behind Cheng Feng's words.

"He acts all mysterious all the time; sometimes I really want to punch him."

Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes at Cheng Feng's retreating figure and said irritably.

Huo Ling, standing next to her, nodded vigorously: "Great minds think alike. This guy can really be a handful sometimes."

The two brothers from the Unloading Ridge faction standing next to the two women kept their eyes straight ahead, pretending they hadn't heard anything.

Following Cheng Feng's footsteps, the group passed through the main hall and arrived at a relatively narrow tomb passage.

A mural is carved every two meters on both sides of the tomb passage.

The pattern on the mural is the same as that on the sealing stone; both depict a thousand-legged dragon with a bent body.

This thing is scientifically known as a centipede, but some people also call them money strings or wall strings.

"What power built the Heavenly Palace on the Clouds by Wang Zanghai? Their totem is too strange."

Huo Ling was somewhat disgusted by the large centipede on the mural; the dense array of feet gave her goosebumps.

Because of Cheng Feng's interference, the two of them didn't know much about the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

In the original story, they also tracked down the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top in order to solve the hidden dangers of the Corpse-Eating Pill.

"This thousand-legged dragon is the totem of the Eastern Xia Kingdom. Their leader, the King of Ten Thousand Slaves, foresaw his impending death."

They then captured Wang Zanghai and made him oversee the construction of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

After listening to Cheng Feng's explanation, the two women remained silent, as they had no prior knowledge of the Eastern Xia Kingdom.

Talking too much will only expose your ignorance.

As soon as Cheng Feng finished speaking, a fork in the road appeared in front of the tomb passage.

In addition to a straight passageway leading forward, there is an even narrower passageway leading to the right.

"Which of these two paths should we take?"

Chen Wenjin shone his flashlight on the two roads and then turned to look at Cheng Fengdao.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Cheng Feng lightly stomped his foot and then said:

"Don't go down any of these paths, brothers. Use your entrenching tools to dig through the ice beneath our feet."

"Yes!"

At Cheng Feng's command, the members of the Unloading Ridge Clan took out their entrenching tools without asking any questions.

Then, following the direction Cheng Feng pointed out, they began to dig out the ice layer under their feet, shovel by shovel.

Cheng Feng, along with Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling, stood quietly to one side, waiting for everyone to dig deeper.

Soon, as Wang Kaishan shoveled through the ice, the thin wooden plank underneath was exposed.

Seeing this, everyone acted even more swiftly.

With a few shovelfuls, the wooden plank was pierced, and the flashlight beam shone through the gap.

Below was another tomb chamber, which made everyone admire Cheng Feng even more.

"Wow, Cheng Feng, you're amazing! You really lived up to your reputation!"

Huo Ling gave Cheng Feng a thumbs up, feeling both admiration and gratitude.

If Cheng Feng hadn't agreed to come along, she and Chen Wenjin would probably have had a hard time discovering this tomb chamber hidden beneath the tomb passage.

"I have many other strengths, and your sister Wenjin should know this very well."

Cheng Feng said in a very serious tone.

Huo Ling looked at Chen Wenjin, tilting her head with a puzzled expression.

Chen Wenjin gritted her teeth and cursed Cheng Feng inwardly for not watching where he was going, but on the surface she remained calm and said:

“Indeed, I observed more carefully. Your martial arts skills have a Taoist influence, so they must be related to the Mountain Moving Taoist.”

Cheng Feng gave a thumbs up.

“That’s right, I’ve learned the Seven Star Fist of the Mountain Moving lineage. As expected of Fourth Grandfather’s daughter, you are indeed very knowledgeable!”

Huo Ling looked at Chen Wenjin with admiration, completely unaware that she had become part of their play.

"Foreman, the tunnel is dug!"
