Chapter 490 The Child King?

"Boss, with so many elixirs, even if we consume them, it will take a long time."

"After we go out this time, perhaps our strength will also increase rapidly."

Hu Bayi swept his gaze around, his heart filled with irrepressible excitement.

With these elixirs, Shirley Yang should also be able to break through, right?

By then, perhaps they could live on forever.

"However, what I'm worried about is, if Xu Fu can refine such elixirs, it means his strength is very strong."

"So, we must be careful, especially in the main tomb, we must pave our retreat."

Zhang Tianyi's expression became extremely serious.

His tone was even more solemn.

It could be said that one wrong step might lead to the entire team being buried.

"Boss, do you have any good ideas?"

Hu Bayi looked at Zhang Tian.

Since Zhang Tian brought this up, he likely had some ideas or thoughts.

Zhang Tian nodded slightly.

His gaze inadvertently fell on William, who was not far away.

"Kirin, tell me, what are ghosts most afraid of?"

Zhang Tian asked casually.

"Dao? Law?"

Zhang Qilin uttered two words, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Zhang Tian shook his head slightly.

"No, neither. What they fear most is ghosts!"

"They did many evil deeds in their lives, and in death, they will surely face retribution, and the retributors will be those lingering souls."

"Now, the perpetrator of this entire tomb is dead, and even his corpse is buried among the victims. You tell me, once a riot breaks out, wouldn't it be..."

Zhang Tian did not finish.

For a moment, Zhang Qilin and Hu Bayi understood Zhang Tian's idea.

An eye for an eye, and those tens of thousands of lonely souls, perhaps united, could be an extremely powerful force.

"But, the two tombs we encountered before, the souls in them have dissipated. We can only look for them in the next tomb."

Hu Bayi's face was filled with regret. If they had thought of this earlier, perhaps a long line would have already formed behind them.

Zhang Tian might have directly transformed into the legendary "Kid Charmer!"

"Don't worry, don't we still have him?"

Zhang Tian's gaze fell on William again.

This little guy was very smart. Being able to escape that formation proved he had something.

Therefore, Zhang Tian wanted this guy to lead them to find those lingering souls.

Once gathered, they would be a strong force.

"Boss, that's brilliant! Having him lead us, what a great idea!"

Hu Bayi slapped his thigh.

The familiar "forbidden consort" mode was activated again.

"Then what are we waiting for!"

Zhang Tian was not one to dither. He stood up with a smile.

"Uncle..."

Seeing Zhang Tian's brilliant smile, William felt a pang of unease.

That smile was a bit too creepy.

"Uh, don't come over! If you come any closer, I'll scream 'indecent assault'!"

Nan Xi, on the side, reacted strongly.

Especially after seeing the smiles of Zhang Tian and the others, she panicked.

A single man and woman, no, multiple men and a single woman in a hidden tomb. This couldn't help but make her overthink things.

"Don't come over, I am..."

Before Nan Xi could finish speaking, Zhang Tian and the other two had already reached William.

Nan Xi: "?????"

Good heavens, they weren't coming for her? She was from the royal family of the Eagle Nation, and her beauty was undeniable.

Yet, these people were completely unmoved by her presence.

For a moment, a flush spread across Nan Xi's face.

Had she been too embarrassed just now?

"Heh heh, Miss, what were you shouting about just now? Did you really think our boss would have such intentions?"

"You're overthinking it. Even if the boss liked someone, he wouldn't like you."

Fatty abandoned his post guarding the door and crept over to Nan Xi, delivering another blow.

Nan Xi felt utterly wronged and speechless.

She came to explore, and William was gone. Now she was being ignored. What was this all about?

"Uh, Uncle, please don't look at me like that, I'm scared."

William hugged his chest, his entirely black eyes now tinged with fear.

"Don't be scared, Uncle won't hurt you. Fatty, give him a candy."

Zhang Tian patted the little guy's head.

Although he was patting the head of the adult William, which was a bit eerie, it was still a form of comfort for the little guy.

"Boss, where would I get candy?"

Fatty looked bewildered.

"Idiot, burn paper!"

Hu Bayi glared at Fatty. Fatty suddenly understood.

He quickly took out burning paper from his pocket and burned a candy.

"Uncle offers you candy. Take Uncle to where the other sisters are imprisoned, and Uncle will save them all."

Zhang Tian said, handing over the candy made from burning paper.

The little guy looked at the candy in front of him and swallowed.

He grabbed it with one hand.

"Really? Uncle is really going to save the other sisters?"

"Actually, I know many places too. I've sneaked in through cracks in the walls many times."

"I saw many sisters suffering just like me. If Uncle is willing to help them, on behalf of my entire family, and all my sisters and brothers, I thank your entire family!"

The little guy said gratefully while eating the candy.

"What kind of honorific is this..."

Wu Tianzhen touched his head. Why did his words sound so strange?

"He's just a child, innocent words."

Wang Banyue waved his hand, his eyes narrowed, looking quite pleased.

"Alright, Uncle will definitely promise you, to help those sisters. But you also have to promise me one thing."

Zhang Tian maintained his bright smile.

"Tell me, Uncle, I'll listen carefully!"

William sat up, looking serious.

"Do you want revenge?"

Zhang Tian suddenly asked.

As he spoke, William's body trembled slightly.

"Uncle, you mean..."

William seemed to disbelieve his ears and asked again in a low voice.

"Revenge. Return the harm the tomb owner inflicted upon you."

Zhang Tian's tone was flat.

In Zhang Tian's opinion, Xu Fu was no good either. To bury so many people and hang them with chains and hooks, the malevolence was imaginable.

"But, can we defeat God? He is the Sun God."

The little guy's voice was low, clearly afraid of Xu Fu.

"If you unite, you will be a powerful force, and we will also help."

"Most importantly, only by defeating him will your resentment disappear."

Zhang Tian said softly. The little guy thought for a long time.

A few minutes later.

He seemed to have made a major decision, gritted his teeth, and nodded fiercely.

"Yes! Uncle, I agree!"

"I want to avenge my brothers and sisters. But, Uncle, you must promise me that you will definitely go and save the trapped brothers and sisters."

He did not forget to plead for the trapped children.

Zhang Tian nodded seriously, patted his head, and his eyes showed a touch of emotion.

"I know the small path, Uncle, follow me."

The little guy said, and then floated up. It was clear that this little guy had not been here for thousands of years in vain.

"Hey! Uh, Mister, I'm a bit scared being alone over here."

Nan Xi, seeing that Zhang Tian and the others were about to take action again, quickly spoke up, fearing Zhang Tian would leave.

Zhang Tian was a bit troubled. Leaving this person alone here was indeed not ideal.

"As long as you can take me away, I'm willing to offer wealth! Moreover, I also know the whereabouts of many cultural relics that flowed out of Xia Kingdom!"

"You should be Xia Kingdom people, right? I know Xia Kingdom language."

Nan Xi said a lot in one breath.

Zhang Tian frowned slightly. He hadn't expected this person to know about the loss of Xia Kingdom's cultural relics.

But it was also true. The Qing Dynasty was the period of greatest outflow. How easy was it to retrieve them?

"Young Master Zhang, I want to try."

Suddenly, Wu Tianzhen spoke.

For a moment, all eyes were locked on Wu Tianzhen.
