There was no other sound in the tomb passage after that voice.
"Boss, what are they shouting about in there?"
Fatty asked, confused. He couldn't understand their language.
"They're saying to detonate the bombs,"
Wu Tianzhen chimed in.
"Damn it, they're actually going to blow it up."
Fatty was displeased, his gaze fixed on the passage from which the voice originated.
Inside the passage at that moment.
After the squad leader's shout, the team members frantically pressed the detonation buttons. But the next moment, the remaining few members were stunned.
"Cap, Captain, it seems nothing happened..."
The team member's face turned grim.
"F*ck! Someone must have tampered with our bombs!"
James cursed, but the very next moment, the ground he was standing on suddenly sank, and James, who had just spoken, vanished without a trace.
The remaining team members' hearts sank to the bottom of the sea. After a few screams, the black tomb chamber was empty.
"Boss, shall we go take a look?"
Fatty's impatience had reached its peak upon hearing the screams from the tomb.
"No need. We won't gain anything by going over there. It's better to proceed with the original plan."
Zhang Tian directly rejected Fatty's suggestion.
There was no point in going. After all, those people were dead, and it had nothing to do with them. Going would only invite trouble.
"Alright, Fatty can only wish them all the best."
Fatty sighed and then looked away.
From the screams, Zhang Tian could tell that the cave was quite dangerous.
"Young Master Zhang, what do you think might be inside?"
Wu Tianzhen asked softly.
"I don't know, but I can be sure that the lingering spirits here are not of low level."
Zhang Tian spoke as he headed directly towards the tomb passage that Hu Bayi had mentioned earlier.
The tomb passage located at the White Tiger Constellation island.
There were also statues in front of the tomb passage, but they had long since been blown up.
The tomb passage was a bit damp, but it wasn't a big problem.
With Fatty leading the way, the group soon entered the White Tiger tomb passage.
As for the voices of the group from earlier, Zhang Tian guessed they were in the tomb passage corresponding to the Vermillion Bird Constellation.
"This tomb passage doesn't seem to have any major issues."
Wang Banyue looked around the tomb passage, not finding anything peculiar.
"Brother Banyue, the safer the place, the more dangerous it is. You don't understand that yet."
Wang Kaixuan said with an air of expertise.
Zhang Tian:? This sounds so familiar.
"Brother Kaixuan, I've learned a lot."
Wang Banyue gave a smooth smile.
Soon, as the group ventured deeper, Zhang Tian noticed that the surrounding death energy was growing stronger.
At the same time, the water seeping from the ground also increased.
The sound of their feet splashing through accumulated water echoed throughout the tomb passage.
"Let's put on our armor."
Hu Bayi suggested from the side.
Zhang Tian looked at the pitch-black tomb passage and nodded slightly.
In this situation, wearing armor was indeed the best choice.
As Zhang Tian took out the four sets of armor, the four of them quickly donned their equipment.
Looking at the four figures before them, like ancient generals, Wu Tianzhen and the other two looked on with envy.
"Tianzhen, if we have a chance, we should get some too."
Wang Banyue said with envy.
He had lost count of how many times he had said this.
"Yeah."
Wu Tianzhen nodded, his heart pounding. This was the feeling of longing.
With the armor on, their sense of security soared, and Fatty's confidence also grew.
"Damn it, Fatty is charging!"
Fatty declared, swaggering forward.
Zhang Tian and the others followed closely behind him.
Zhang Tian had already taken out the Lu Shang King's sword.
If anything happened, Zhang Tian would not hesitate to act.
The entire tomb passage was dark and damp, seemingly devoid of life. Strangely, there were no skeletons on either side of the passage, which puzzled Zhang Tian.
Logically, with so many people entering, there should have been many deaths, yet there wasn't a single skeleton around.
"Boss, come quick! There's a big tomb chamber ahead! So many coffins!"
Suddenly, Fatty called out from the front. Zhang Tian and the others quickly shone their searchlights towards Fatty.
At some point, Fatty had already moved five meters ahead of them.
Simultaneously, in front of Fatty, a massive space appeared.
As Fatty had said, the space was indeed filled with coffins.
Within hundreds of meters, countless coffins were densely packed.
If viewed from above, one would be astonished to find that the coffins were not placed randomly.
Instead, they were arranged in a pattern.
"This is the legendary Soul-Locking Star Coffin. Boss, you were right. Xu Fu was an evil sorcerer."
Hu Bayi stated with certainty upon seeing the layout of the coffins.
Worry flickered in his eyes.
"What is a Soul-Locking Star Coffin? Comrade Hu, is there something special about it?"
Wu Tianzhen looked at the thousands of coffins before him, feeling a sense of awe, and asked.
"Soul-Locking Star Coffin, as the name suggests, locks the souls. They are arranged in eighty-one star lines, forming a star array. Anyone who enters the array, if they open or move even one coffin incorrectly, the entire star array will activate."
"The souls within the star array will all be unleashed to claim lives, and you will become their nourishment."
Hu Bayi said, swallowing hard.
"And the most terrifying thing about this formation is not making a wrong step, but the corpses within each star coffin!"
"The body of each corpse must have been pierced by specific chains, locking them within the coffin. Spells were cast on the chains to lock their souls, resulting in immense resentment."
"The soul of each corpse is no less powerful than a low-level crimson ghost."
Hu Bayi said solemnly.
Just one point within this star array would be enough to claim countless lives.
Let alone the numerous restrictions within this star array.
"Holy sh*t, there are at least a thousand coffins in this tomb chamber, doesn't that mean there are at least a thousand vengeful spirits?"
Wang Banyue exclaimed, his whole body trembling.
"Maybe we should retreat."
Wang Banyue blurted out.
This fellow was also known for cherishing his life, but that was understandable. Cherishing one's life was normal; not cherishing it would be abnormal.
"There are likely eight hundred and eighty-one coffins here. To pass through, we must break the formation."
Hu Bayi said, his gaze shifting to Zhang Tian.
He believed that only Zhang Tian had the ability to break this formation, with himself perhaps acting as an assistant.
After all, Hu Bayi's primary focus was on formations and Feng Shui, while Zhang Tian's expertise lay in Taoist magic and fortune-telling, with a more superficial understanding of Feng Shui and formations.
"Boss, this formation is very difficult to break. Any slight misstep can lead to a gruesome death. We must have high levels of coordination, otherwise..."
Hu Bayi didn't finish his sentence, but Zhang Tian understood his meaning.
"Don't worry, we've been brothers for years. I understand without you saying it."
"However, I can't break this formation myself. I can only assist you."
Zhang Tian stated truthfully.
He truly couldn't break it. The formation was too large. To break it, they would have to rely on Hu Bayi. His Yin-Yang Secret Arts, and the Feng Shui secret arts he acquired from Huang Shuliang at that time would play a crucial role.
Zhang Tian admitted that his understanding of Feng Shui had gradually fallen behind Hu Bayi's after Huang Shuliang's passing.
Hu Bayi nodded, looking intently at the hundreds of coffins before him. At the same time, his heart ached, as it was highly likely that these coffins contained the remains of hundreds of children!
