Chapter 322 You didn't enter a tomb, you entered this...
Chapter 322 You didn't enter a tomb, you entered this...
After reading it, Lin Feng's brows furrowed tightly.
This sentence is too obscure; it's not about the tomb, it's about...
What exactly is it?
"We can't just rush in," Lin Feng said in a deep voice. "I'll try to sense it with my sixth sense first."
He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, his brow furrowed slightly, and his infinite deductive abilities quietly activated.
The imagined scene unfolded in my mind—
He gestured for Tang Xiaofu to go forward and open the door.
Tang Xiaofu grasped the ghost-faced door knocker rings on both sides of the bronze door with both hands. The moment her fingertips touched the bronze rings, a bone-chilling coldness shot straight up from her palms.
She suppressed her discomfort and tapped slowly, following the rhythm her father had instructed her to use.
"Thump...thump thump...thump—"
The sound of the copper rings striking the door knocker echoed through the passageway, dull and eerie.
A moment later, "Boom—Boom—"
A loud clanging sound of a mechanism turning came from behind the heavy bronze door, and the sound of the lock being released was clearly audible.
Tang Xiaofu took a deep breath and pushed the door open with both hands.
The bronze door slowly opened inward, and an indescribable wave of air rushed out—a mixture of decay, blood, and some inexplicable sweetness, assaulting the nostrils and making one's stomach churn, almost vomiting.
Before us was a circular stone chamber, about twenty meters in diameter.
In the very center of the stone chamber, a huge vermilion lacquered wooden coffin was half submerged in the stone layer and half exposed. The lacquer on the surface of the coffin had long since peeled off and was no longer smooth. Instead, there was a layer of dark red stains, like dried blood.
Most chillingly, in front of the coffin, a complete skeleton of a white ape was firmly locked by five thick copper chains, in a prostrate and kneeling posture, with its limbs pulled by the copper chains, its back bent to the extreme, its head lowered, and its forehead pressed against the cold floor tiles.
The coffin lid wasn't closed properly; instead, it was slightly off-center, with a gap about three fingers wide, like an open eye coldly watching the intruder.
Reddish-pink, fibrous growths emanated from the edges of the cracks, like gnarled tree roots or winding blood vessels, densely clinging to the coffin and deeply embedding themselves in the cracks of the floor tiles.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, finally understanding the meaning of the sentence, "What you entered wasn't the tomb chamber, it was this."
Zhou Hu's body has become completely intertwined with this tomb, the spirit of the white ape, and all the resentment.
Suddenly, "Boom—"
A heavy thud came from behind them, and the tomb door, which had been open, closed by itself, completely blocking their escape route.
Before anyone could react, countless pale arms suddenly emerged from the walls, the dome, and even the cracks in the stone bricks beneath their feet—
Some were as thin as a rake, others were swollen and black, their fingernails sharp as hooks, and they swarmed towards the crowd.
"shot!"
Tang Xiaofu reacted extremely quickly, pulling out a silver pistol from each hand. As the guns fired, the bullets accurately hit the outstretched arms.
The four members of the Fang Squad drew their weapons and engaged in combat with the eerie arms.
Lin Feng's mind raced, and the seven ferocious beasts pounced out instantly—
The Siberian tiger's paw slammed down, turning a section of the arm into a bloody pulp.
The enraged black bear swept its arms across, severing several arms in the process.
The demon-faced mandrill moved nimbly, dodging and tearing at the same time.
A white eagle swooped down from the sky, its sharp talons severing the arms that were reaching for the group in mid-air...
However, after those arms were severed, black, foul-smelling blood gushed from the wounds.
A mist of blood spread out, splattering onto the skin of the people and the beasts—
"hiss--"
"what!"
A burning pain spread instantly.
Where the blood droplets splashed, the skin quickly turned black and emitted wisps of white smoke, as if corroded by concentrated acid.
Even the wild beasts couldn't help but roar in pain, and festering sores were visible beneath their fur.
"call--"
Lin Feng abruptly withdrew from the deduction, cold sweat pouring down his forehead, his face as pale as paper.
"How are you?" Tang Xiaofu immediately stepped forward to support him.
Lin Feng took a few deep breaths and briefly explained what he had seen in the deduction:
"Zhou Hu has become one with this tomb chamber; the phrase 'You've entered not the tomb chamber, you've entered it' refers to this!"
"In addition, the door will close by itself, and then countless arms will extend from all directions. When they are cut off, blood will spurt out. The blood is highly corrosive... Neither we nor the wild beasts can withstand it."
Tang Xiaofu frowned: "To seize the initiative, as soon as we step into the tomb, we should immediately have the seven beasts each unleash their respective domains."
Lin Feng nodded and rubbed his temples: "Then I'll sense it again and see if the Seven Fierce Beasts can suppress those arms by unleashing their rule domains."
Tang Xiaofu's gaze fell on his still pale face. After a moment's hesitation, she asked in a low voice:
"Want me to... give you a charge?"
Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, eager for the answer: "I need it so badly!"
Before he could finish speaking, he had already wrapped his arm around Tang Xiaofu's slender waist and leaned down to kiss her.

Studio:
"Good heavens, she's definitely a human power bank! Tang Xiaorui's special ability is called 'The Offering of Love'?"
"Xiaorui, the younger sister, fainted in the bathroom: 'Sister, that's your brother-in-law!!!'"
"Well, the two sisters look exactly alike, so kissing the older sister is practically the same as kissing the younger sister; it's basically accurate!"
"One sip from the wet nurse, and he's full of energy again! Lin Feng: I can do it again and again, and each time I'll be even braver!"
"Seven Fierce Beasts: So we're here to watch our owners show off their love???"
"This isn't a tomb raiding trip, it's a love story! Publicly funded romance confirmed!"
Zhou Hu: I was waiting for you inside, and you two were kissing outside???
........................
The kiss lasted only a little over ten seconds, as the battle was raging and they dared not waste a single moment.
When their lips parted hastily, a very faint silver thread remained at the corner of their lips.
Just then, Lin Feng clearly heard the system notification:
[Ding, Tang Xiaofu's favorability towards the host increases by 10]
Current favorability rating: 93/100
Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he clicked his tongue in amazement.
Good grief, did they develop real feelings for each other after kissing? They're not even caring about ethics or morality, just increasing their affection level directly?
But this was clearly not the time to ponder this matter. He composed himself, closed his eyes again, and launched the infinite deduction.
The simulation unfolded instantly.
The moment the tomb door opened, Lin Feng didn't hesitate for a moment and gave a stern command:
"Seven Beasts, heed my command—unleash the full power of your rule domain!"
The Siberian tiger was the first to respond, letting out a deafening roar as its body radiated a domineering golden light. Its [Lone Ranger Domain] instantly expanded, and an aura of "I am the only one who reigns supreme here" swept across the entire area.
The white eagle of the snow-capped mountain spread its wings and soared straight to the dome, its sharp gaze locking onto the entire stone chamber, and the [Overlooking Domain] was activated.
The wild wolf raised its head and howled, its mournful and far-reaching sound waves spreading out, and the [Hunting Domain] quietly took shape.
The enraged black bear suddenly raised its giant paw and slammed it heavily onto the ground. With a deafening roar, the floor tiles shattered, and the [Crushing Domain] crushed all defenses.
The demon-faced mountain demon let out a sinister laugh, its body shrouded in black mist, and activated its [Deceitful Domain].
The cheetah lowered its body and sped around the coffin like a black shadow, activating the [Absolute Kill Domain].
Finally, the African lion raised its head and roared, its kingly aura sweeping across all directions. The [Dominion Domain] unfolded with a bang, firmly binding and layering the other six ferocious rules.
The seven domains of rules intertwined and resonated, instantly enveloping the entire circular stone chamber.
The ghostly hand that was about to emerge from the cracks in the floor tiles froze in mid-air, its knuckles twitching, but it could no longer extend forward even an inch...
