Listening to the little fellow's shocked voice, Zhang Tian couldn't help but look at him.
"Do you know anything?"
Zhang Tian asked softly.
"Mmm, it's very dangerous inside. As soon as a living person goes in, the elder brothers and sisters will go mad, and then you will die."
"And there will be flames inside, which will burn you into black paste."
The little fellow said, as if recalling something terrifying, his face turned a little grim.
"Black paste, boss, could it be alchemy?"
Hu Bayi exclaimed, a flicker of excitement in his eyes.
"What is that black paste?"
Zhang Tian asked gently.
The little ghost shook his head.
"I don't know, but it's very dangerous inside, so don't go down. Besides, I finally got out, and I still need to rescue my sisters."
The little ghost said, lowering his head further.
"Do you know how to break the formation?"
Zhang Tian asked.
"I don't know."
The little ghost shook his head.
"Then that's settled. You wait here for us, and I'll go down to break the formation first."
Zhang Tian said, his gaze sweeping over the others.
"Old Hu, Qilin, Fatty, let's break the formation first. Then we can let all those little ghosts out, and we can enter the depths."
Zhang Tian said, already taking out some powder.
Clearly, Zhang Tian intended to use the powder to conceal his aura before breaking the formation.
"But, boss, there are also flames inside. It wouldn't be good if Fatty turned into roasted Fatty then."
Fatty said from the side, looking worried.
"We have armor, what are we afraid of? Besides, if it's really necessary, we can enter the spatial dimension on the spot."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty's eyes lit up.
"Damn it, how could I forget about your spatial dimension, boss? Then, Fatty can just hide in there and have a heart-to-heart with the Queen. Maybe it won't only solve the safety problem but also solve the Queen's loneliness and cold."
Fatty said, even showing a smile on his face.
Zhang Tian felt a darkness descend before his eyes.
This fellow was really unreliable.
"Brother Kai Xuan, I didn't expect you to have such aspirations. I support you."
Wang Banyue gave him a thumbs-up from the side.
Zhang Tian glanced around.
"Little fellow, you stay here, and I'll go down to rescue your brothers and sisters."
Zhang Tian said, adjusting the armor he was wearing, and started walking inwards.
"Um, sir, you... I..."
Seeing that Zhang Tian and the others were about to leave, Nan Xi showed some hesitation on her face.
After all, if Zhang Tian left, and she stayed here with the eerie William, she would surely go mad.
"I don't advise you to go down. It's more dangerous below than above. I hope you can understand."
Zhang Tian said softly.
Of course, it wasn't just because it was dangerous below.
He wasn't some kind old man who would bring a burden and someone he didn't know.
"Sir, I am from the British royal family. My name is Elizabeth Nan Xi. If you are willing to help me, I promise to give you a sum of money when we return."
Seeing this, Nan Xi, in her anxiety, revealed her identity completely.
"Sorry, not interested."
Zhang Tian said, as he led the group to the central area of the tomb.
"Boss, royalty, a princess, aren't you going to be deeply moved by this?"
Fatty heard this and kept nudging Zhang Tian's waist with his elbow.
"Fatty, does boss seem like that kind of person?"
Hu Bayi flicked Fatty on the forehead.
"Oh, right. Boss only has that one dashing figure in his heart, right, second brother."
Fatty chuckled, and the next moment, the ground beneath his feet suddenly gave way, and they all started falling inside.
"Damn it, Little Master Zhang, I don't want to die."
Wu Tianzhen felt the downward pull and was incredibly flustered.
"It's okay. After we go down, Fatty will surely curl up into a ball, and then you can hide inside."
Zhang Tian said, and their feet landed inside the mechanism.
"My goodness, so many children. Huh, so scary. Boss, Fatty will protect Young Master Wu and the others first."
Fatty said and quickly curled himself into a ball.
The group hid inside Fatty's shell.
Zhang Tian scanned the surroundings.
He saw that inside the mechanism, countless hooks pierced through the corpses, hanging the corpses, which were about a meter long, vertically around them.
As Zhang Tian and the others fell, the corpses even swayed a few times due to the wind.
"So cold."
Hu Bayi exhaled, and white misty air extended forward from his mouth.
When a puff of misty air hit a girl's face, the next moment, the pale-faced girl's eyes instantly opened.
Her black, hollow eyes stared dead at Hu Bayi, and for a moment, the entire cave seemed extremely gloomy.
At the same time, the mechanism overhead instantly sealed itself.
"Shasha..."
As the mechanism sealed, the sound of footsteps friction echoed from the surroundings.
"Boss, let's apply the powder."
Hu Bayi whispered.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly, and with his blood, he sprinkled the powder in his hands onto everyone.
After all the powder had landed on them, the surrounding chilling sensation also dissipated considerably.
"Where's the fire? That little ghost was just lying."
Fatty, inside the turtle shell, grumbled and was about to climb out.
But the next moment, a fierce red firelight flashed from not far away, almost dyeing the entire space fiery red.
"My goodness, it's real."
Fatty's head immediately retreated back inside.
"Fatty, you jinx."
Zhang Tian cursed, waved his hand, and a water wall appeared in front of them.
"There are several elements in the world, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These are the most basic Taoist arts."
Hu Bayi looked at the water wall and explained it to Wu Tianzhen and the others.
After the water wall appeared, the flames clearly weakened.
However, because Zhang Tian's cultivation level was not high, the water wall was also very weak.
It barely lasted a few seconds before it evaporated, and the flames spread again.
"Boom..."
Waves of heat washed over them. Zhang Tian's Bagua mirror came into play again, and its shield blocked the flames in front of Zhang Qilin and the other two.
The flames only burned for a moment before the surroundings returned to calm.
"My goodness, this fire is really hot. Fatty's shell is almost melted."
Fatty patted his backside and got up from the ground.
Wu Tianzhen and the other two also patted their chests.
"So scary, thankfully we have Brother Kai Xuan's defensive gear."
Wu Tianzhen looked at Fatty gratefully.
Zhang Tian looked around.
"Let's see if we can find a way to break the formation."
"Come out, Little Turtle!"
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and Little Turtle was forcefully pulled out by Zhang Tian.
It looked like summoning a pet from a Poké Ball.
After being pulled out, Little Turtle looked around with its small eyes. Its unique retina allowed it to see clearly in the dark.
"Kaka."
Seeing that the surroundings were full of corpses, Little Turtle was not happy.
Saliva dripped from its mouth uncontrollably.
"Master is so good, he doesn't forget Turtle Grandpa when he encounters delicious food. Turtle Grandpa is very happy."
"Ding ding."
Little Turtle wagged the bell on its backside, looking very happy.
"Little Turtle, these are not for you to eat, at least not now."
"First, help me find the formation, or some cracks. I know you love to drill into cracks."
Seeing this, Zhang Tian directly interrupted Little Turtle's fantasy.
This guy was almost as bad as Fatty.
Hearing Zhang Tian's words, Little Turtle looked a bit disappointed, but it still sniffed around with its nose, its eyes inadvertently surveying the surroundings.
Suddenly, Little Turtle seemed to smell a unique scent, and its tail began to wag furiously.
"What is this sound, it's so uncomfortable."
Wu Tianzhen and the other two covered their ears, looking pained.
"Little Turtle's illusion attack. Brother Wu, we've found the way. Old Hu, follow Little Turtle."
Zhang Tian said, patting Wu Tianzhen and Wang Banyue on the shoulder. Their heads felt much better.
The group passed through the surrounding hanging corpses, accelerating to keep up with Little Turtle's pace.
While Zhang Tian and the others were searching for the formation, upstairs, Nan Xi's days were anything but easy.
