At this moment, Ye Chen's heart was very puzzled, Ye Chen and they could only barely pass through such a narrow place, so how did the brown bear pass when they just arrived, and why were those two brown bears in the ancient tomb?

Thinking about it, the thief cave was about to reach its end, and Ye Chen hurriedly sped up and climbed out.

After crawling for so long, Ye Chen's hands were ground by the sand, and his back hurt all over his body.

So Ye Chen, who had just left the robbery cave, couldn't help but stretch his waist, enjoying this feeling of freedom and unfettered very much.

After the lazy waist ended, Ye Chen began to look at the surrounding environment.

At this time, Ah Tian and Xiao Tianci had already lit the torches, and through the firelight, Ye Chen found that they were already in the tomb.

The graveyard here is not wide, but it is large enough for four people to walk side by side. The straight road of the tomb is straight ahead, and there is no fork in sight. Dragon-like totems are carved on the walls, and there is some sand on the ground. Ten zhang away, there is a faint fire, like a ghost fire, it is estimated that it should be a permanent lamp.

At this time, Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Look at the ground, there is a lot of sand on the ground, it looks like it should be left by that group of bandits, and this sand seems to lead to the direction of the ever-bright lamp." We walked in the direction of the sand, and we should soon find the bandits. ”

Xiao Tianci nodded and praised: "Brother Chen Ye is really careful, and he has observed so carefully, so let's go." ”

Ye Chen was a little embarrassed by Xiao Tianci's praise, so he didn't say anything, but followed Xiao Tianci forward.

At this time, Ah Tian walked beside Ye Chen, and they deliberately pressed their steps, keeping a certain distance from Xiao Tianci.

And Xiao Tianci obviously found out about this, but he didn't say it, just silently led the way.

After a while, Ye Chen and the three of them came to a spacious burial chamber.

I saw that the top of the tomb was very high, the height was about five zhang, the ground of the tomb was covered with pebbles, and a large tripod with a height of one zhang was placed in the center of the tomb, and a small coffin was hung above the big ding. The coffin was chained to a bronze chain and hung from the top of the tomb, with a height difference of about two zhang from the big ding. And above the coffin hung a large copper plate, inside which was lit with an everlasting lamp.

Ye Chen suddenly asked curiously: "That coffin is so small, what is lying inside, is it a child?"

Xiao Tianci shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I think it's very likely that the wolf king is inside the coffin." Because the design style of the tomb here is very similar to the tomb style of the previous dynasty tens of thousands of years ago, and many former dynasty tombs will dig a waist tomb in the center of the tomb, which is buried with other magical beasts such as the wolf king or the desert wolf king, presumably the design of this tomb is also similar. ”

As soon as Xiao Tianci's words fell, Ye Chen said with great admiration: "I didn't expect that Brother Xiao has seen so much and knows so much." ”

Xiao Tianci waved his hand and said: "Actually, my ancestors robbed tombs for generations, and I have learned a lot about tomb robbing since I was a child, so it is not surprising that I understand this." ”

After hearing Xiao Tianci's words, Ye Chen and Ah Tian immediately looked at him with some surprise.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tianci would expose his family affairs in front of Ye Chen and Ah Tian, two strangers, and expose such a shady profession.

After seeing the surprised eyes of Ye Chen and the others, Xiao Tianci immediately smiled and explained: "Xiao Mou has always seen people very accurately, and the two brothers are benevolent and righteous people at a glance, and Xiao Mou's favorite friendship in his life is this kind of person. What's more, not everyone in the tomb robbery industry is a fierce criminal, and official thieves have never stopped since ancient times, but they are just hidden relatively deeply. ”

Ah Tian clasped his hands into fists and said with respect: "Brother Xiao is really the dragon and phoenix among people, and his personality is so bold, I admire him." ”

Regarding Ah Tian's praise, Xiao Tianci waved his hand casually and didn't say anything. He walked straight to Dading, wanting to see what was inside.

Seeing this, Ye Chen also leaned over.

And this look directly startled Ye Chen and Xiao Tianci.

There is actually a person lying on his stomach at the bottom of the big ding!

I saw that the man's body was twisted into a ball, looking very strange, and the body had begun to decompose, as if it had been dead for a long time. And the clothes on his back were somehow torn, revealing his back, and he had strangely shaped tattoos on his back.

Ye Chen was a little curious, he couldn't help but want to lift the corpse's clothes to take a closer look, but at this time, Xiao Tianci immediately grabbed Ye Chen's arm and stepped back: "Don't get too close, that corpse is probably poisonous, maybe you will die if you touch it!"

As soon as Ye Chen heard that the corpse was poisonous, the hand that had just been stretched out immediately retracted, and he followed Xiao Tianci back a few steps back.

At this time, Ah Tian said: "Looking at his clothes, he should be a bandit in the mountains, but how could he die here? And he seems to be rolled up and stuffed into it by others, and I look a little panicked." But it's better to die, lest you have to do it, my master won't let me kill. ”

Ye Chen couldn't help but be afraid for a while when he thought that he was about to touch it with his hand just now, he nodded and said, "Brother Ah Tian, you are right, judging from his clothes, he should be a bandit." But his death is really weird, and you can see the tattoo on his back, it's also very strange, I've never seen it before. ”

Hearing Ye Chen mention the tattoo, Xiao Tianci slowly turned around and replied lightly: "The shape of this tattoo is actually a totem, and this totem is actually the totem of the Jiuli clan, so this person is a member of the Jiuli clan!"

Ye Chen was a little curious: "Jiuli Clan, what is Jiuli Clan, why have I never heard of it?"

"The Jiuli clan is the royal family of the previous dynasty, that is, the big family that was overthrown by the Zijin Emperor. Legend has it that the Jiuli tribe has nine tribes, each of which has nine homes, for a total of nine hundred and eighty-one homes, and the emperor of the previous dynasty is the leader of their tribal alliance. Xiao Tianci explained.

At this time, Ah Tian added: "I also know this, and my master also told me about the Jiuli clan. It is said that they are brave and good at fighting, and they are unparalleled in the world. If it weren't for the fact that the monarch of the previous dynasty wantonly scraped the people's fat and ointment for the construction of the imperial tomb, which made the heavens angry and resentful, otherwise it should still be the world of the Jiuli clan now. ”

Xiao Tianci nodded and continued: "Yes, the Jiuli clan at that time was indeed monstrous, and it was powerful in the world, although it was not as prosperous as the Feng family in ancient times, but it was also one of the best super strength in the Beiya Continent. ”

To be honest, Ye Chen really didn't know much about the history of the previous dynasty, so he humbly asked, "Then what about later, why were they so powerful and overthrown by the Purple Gold Emperor?"

Xiao Tianci replied: "Because the leader of the Jiuli Clan at that time planned to use the power of the entire Baya Continent to build a huge imperial tomb that had no one before or since, and in this process, the Jiuli Clan invested huge manpower and material resources, and even hollowed out the financial resources of the entire Baya Continent. However, in the construction process of the imperial mausoleum, it was not so smooth, it is said that there were many accidents at that time, and many masters of the Jiuli tribe died because of it, so this did not lay the groundwork for the demise of the Jiuli tribe later. ”

"Then what about later, was the Imperial Tomb cultivated?" Ye Chen continued to ask.

Xiao Tianci shook his head and said: "It is said that the imperial tomb has only been halfway repaired, and the Jiuli clan was wiped out by the Zijin Emperor, and only a few Jiuli people survived at that time. ”

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask curiously: "Brother Xiao, do you know why the Jiuli clan built this mausoleum? Is there any point in building this mausoleum at the expense of their people? And why did so many Jiuli clan masters die in the process of building the mausoleum?"

This time, Xiao Tianci was not able to answer Ye Chen's question, he shook his head and said: "This is unknown, because the construction of the imperial mausoleum at that time was an extremely top-secret matter, and after the Jiuli clan was destroyed, the imperial mausoleum disappeared completely, and no one knew where it was." ”

At this time, Ah Tian, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted: "Two friends, we have time to chat after we go out, and the most important thing for us now is to find those bandits." ”

After hearing Ah Tian's words, the topic of Ye Chen and Xiao Tianci came to an abrupt end, and they were ready to continue to look for the traces of the bandits.

But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the tomb where Ye Chen and the others had walked before. Ye Chen and the others hurriedly tensed their nerves and looked behind them vigilantly.

It didn't take long for a woman in green to walk in, only to see that she was about eighteen years old, with a beautiful face, but she was dressed very capably, dressed as a living woman. Behind her, there were five more strong men who reminded the burly, but these strong men all looked tired.

According to Ye Chen's observations, except for the woman in green who was a fifth-level magician, the other five strong men were all fourth-level magicians.

As they approached, the atmosphere immediately became tense.

At this time, Ah Tian took the lead in attacking, and he roared angrily: "His grandmother's, I haven't found you for so long, and now I dare to send it to the door to throw yourself into the net." Don't say much, eat my Ah Tian sword first. ”

Saying that, Ah Tian rushed forward, and Ye Chen and Xiao Tianci had already entered the battle state, ready to make a move at any time.

As soon as the woman came in, she saw this scene, and she was a little confused, so she hurriedly said: "Strong man is slow, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding in it." We shouldn't have seen it before, so we don't know what kind of grudge we have with the strong man?"

Ah Tian stopped and said domineeringly: "Lao Tzu will let you die today." Lao Tzu's name is Zhao Atian, and it was my mother who was almost burned to death by you yesterday, and Lao Tzu wants to teach you a good lesson today. ”

After hearing Ah Tian's words, the woman in green was a little puzzled: "Strong man, do you recognize the wrong person? Our group has been trapped here for about three days, where do we have time to do those evil things." ”
