"This piece should be the sacrum!"
"This should be the sternum, hmm, boss, this should be the tailbone."
Hu Bayi held up piece after piece of bone, identifying them.
Zhang Tian felt his vision darken for a moment.
Hu Bayi knew quite a bit, but why was he examining someone's bones?
"This skeleton gives me a strange feeling, as if I've seen it before. Old Hu, put this pile of bones aside for now, let's deal with the troublesome things first."
Zhang Tian said softly, and Hu Bayi also put down the bones in his hands.
He placed the bones in a corner of the tomb chamber.
"Since the surge of blood qi appeared, we entered this environment. Coupled with Kirin having just dealt with three people, the environment has deepened even further."
"I suspect this environment is related to that dragon throne!"
Zhang Tian's gaze swept back behind him.
With the enhancement of the environment, a heaven road of endless length had appeared behind Zhang Tian!
That heaven road seemed to lead to another world, mysterious and intriguing.
"Damn illusion."
Zhang Tian frowned. If he guessed correctly, the dragon throne from before was right in front of him.
"Fatty! Take my advice! You can't handle this, give it to me!"
"Six! Tian Zhen, you're already wealthy beyond measure, why do you still want this thing? Give it to me."
The sounds of Wu Tian Zhen and Fatty arguing came from behind.
Zhang Tian paid them no mind. These two wouldn't actually fight to the death over it. The critical issue now was breaking the illusion.
"Boss, we probably can't go up this road. Ask Second Brother if he can break it."
Hu Bayi also saw the heaven road. If they rashly went up, they would surely fall into a trap.
Zhang Kirin narrowed his eyes slightly.
"My vision is also a bit blurry."
Zhang Kirin said faintly, his sword-like eyebrows slightly raised. If it were before, how could he possibly be affected by an illusion?
Clearly, the illusionary technique here was on a different level than what Zhang Tian had encountered before.
"Right! Xiao Bie!"
Suddenly, Zhang Tian remembered something, and his eyes lit up.
Xiao Bie, that guy, carried a bell from the Warring States period, which had hallucinatory effects.
And Xiao Bie himself was not afraid of illusions.
Therefore, to break this illusion, it was an excellent choice.
Here, outside the pill chamber, amidst piles of corpses, Xiao Bie, with its belly bulging, was happily closing its eyes.
"If only Grandpa Turtle could eat so much delicious food every day."
"Grandpa Turtle is about to break through."
Xiao Bie thought gleefully, its tail gently swaying.
"Right, I saw a few guys go in earlier. I wonder if Master has noticed. Never mind, I'll rest a bit longer then have my fifth meal."
Xiao Bie thought happily, not wanting to climb out of the pile of corpses at all.
"Hmm? Master is calling?"
Just as Xiao Bie was about to fall asleep, a command suddenly came from its mind.
That heart-to-heart connection immediately surged.
Xiao Bie practically sprung up, its spirit instantly awakened.
"Master, Turtle is here!"
Xiao Bie shouted, and it darted off, following Zhang Tian's scent.
"How is it? Can Xiao Bie sense it?"
Hu Bayi asked curiously.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
"It's found. This guy is full and has already arrived."
As Zhang Tian spoke, rustling sounds came from not far away.
Immediately after, Xiao Bie's figure appeared before Zhang Tian.
Since Zhang Tian and the others hadn't moved rashly, they hadn't triggered any traps, so the illusion wasn't as terrifying.
"Dong dong."
Xiao Bie continuously wagged its tail, appearing very excited.
"Go gnaw off the dragon throne up there."
Zhang Tian said directly.
Although he couldn't see the dragon throne, Xiao Bie could.
"Ao wu!"
Xiao Bie's bell shook again, and then it charged forward.
"Dong dong dong."
With a clanging sound of metal, a dragon head was actually bitten off by Xiao Bie.
After the dragon head was bitten off, a puff of yellow smoke emerged from within.
Xiao Bie, startled, quickly scrambled back.
After the yellow smoke dissipated, the illusion before Zhang Tian and the others gradually faded.
"As expected, the key was the dragon throne."
Zhang Tian's eyebrows twitched. He had felt that the dragon throne was problematic before.
"Dong dong."
Xiao Bie spat out the gold nugget from its mouth and wagged its tail contentedly.
It seemed to be seeking praise.
"Huh? Fatty is holding a brick?"
"Why am I fighting you for a brick?"
Wu Tian Zhen and Fatty also woke up. They looked at each other.
Memories flooded back.
"Fatty, we weren't fighting over this just now, were we?"
"Tian Zhen, it seems so. It's really embarrassing, like a mudfish crossing a river."
Wang Banyue covered his face, his cheeks burning red.
"Fatty, wake up."
Hu Bayi ran over to Fatty at this moment, shaking his body.
Fatty, who had been knocked out by Zhang Tian, smacked his lips and then slowly opened his eyes.
"Old Hu, I dreamed that Boss hit me, and Boss's fist is harder than Fatty's!"
"Fatty didn't fight back because Fatty loves Boss!"
Fatty mumbled.
Zhang Tian touched his cheek. Has their affection become this deep?
"Fatty, you're fine now. The mechanism is broken. You were fighting with Young Master Wu for a brick just now, and Boss knocked you out for fear you might hurt someone."
Hu Bayi said softly.
If Fatty had truly gone mad, with his physique and armor, he would have been at least a boss-level threat.
"That's right, Boss did the right thing."
Fatty nodded and didn't dwell on it, then stood up.
Zhang Kirin, however, was squatting in front of the bones, seemingly lost in thought.
"Isn't this the Yin Yang master? Old Hu, let's go interrogate him."
Fatty's gaze fell on Gui Zhu, and he rubbed his hands, wanting to vent his recent grievances.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian squatted by Zhang Kirin.
He was examining the bones he had discovered earlier.
"This skeleton was hidden inside the dragon head just now. If I'm not mistaken."
"That dragon head must have been a key component of the illusion, or a mechanism."
"But why would it be hidden inside?"
Zhang Tian murmured, his mind beginning to ponder.
"From above, I sensed a soul's aura."
Zhang Kirin gently touched the head of the skeleton. The subtle, soft soul aura constantly swirled around his palm.
Zhang Tian also placed his hand there, but he couldn't sense anything.
"Why can't I feel it?"
Zhang Tian frowned.
Seeing this, Zhang Kirin placed his hand on Zhang Tian's backhand.
His slender fingers almost covered Zhang Tian's entire backhand.
Then, a surge of fiery power flowed from Zhang Kirin's hand.
"Your strength is too low, so you can't sense it."
"I'll help you."
After Zhang Kirin's simple words, Zhang Tian indeed felt a very faint sensation.
"Wait! This feeling! It's too familiar!"
Zhang Tian suddenly realized.
Before, when he encountered Daoist Yimei, he had also turned into a skeleton, and Zhang Tian hadn't sensed anything.
Now, with this situation happening again, wasn't the owner of this skeleton obvious?
This was the corpse of Daoist Dan He!
