(Three More) 906: Chapter 916: Mysterious Underground Mausoleum!
(Three More) Ahead lay the grand and magnificent Underground Mausoleum, a place no ordinary person could enter.
In truth, Qin Shi Huang’s Underground Mausoleum was far larger than what was visible.
It was a true mausoleum.
After all, Qin Shi Huang lived in Epang Palace during his lifeti.
When Xiang Yu set it ablaze, the fire raged for so long without extinguishing.
That palace was truly vast, and the Emperor had more than just that one palace.
How could the palace of his afterlife be so small?
Tang Zhong walked through the palace, marveling at the imposing grandeur around him, his astonishnt growing deeper with every step.
This Emperor sure knew how to indulge himself!
Tang Zhong followed the aura of the Raw Stone forward.
But the space ahead was overwhelmingly vast.
As he walked further, Tang Zhong’s sense of awe only deepened.
Looking up, he saw a shimring radiance above.
He realized that the ceiling—actually walls above him—was inlaid with countless Luminous Pearls, glowing brilliantly.
The walls beca the sky, and the pearls transford into stars, revealing the boundless ambition of this Emperor.
In life, he ruled with an iron fist.
Even in death, he sought to dominate the heavens.
Suddenly, a scene of desolation unfolded ahead.
There were countless pits on the ground, likely caused by heavy impacts.
Scattered around were broken Fried Wings embedded in the earth, many of them shattered.
There must have been a battle here earlier.
Moreover, the air was charged with traces of Blood Power.
It had to be the Azure Dragon.
This was the Emperor’s tomb, laden with traps.
The absence of bloodstains on the scene suggested the Azure Dragon had escaped.
It appeared the Azure Dragon had headed farther ahead!
But caution was crucial; there could still be other traps lying in wait.
True enough, after only a few steps, Tang Zhong unintentionally triggered a chanism, causing nurous spheres to shoot out from the surrounding walls.
Each looked like a vessel filled with green liquid.
Tang Zhong stomped down hard on the ground, propelling himself into the air with force.
The green spheres smashed into the ground, splattering their contents.
The liquid imdiately began corroding the floor, creating pits and emitting smoke.
Tang Zhong wasted no ti lingering and pressed forward, thankful for his vigilance—otherwise, he’d already be dead from the corrosive liquid.
“This Emperor really is sothing else!
Even in death, he’s left so much behind to guard against intruders!”
From then on, Tang Zhong advanced with peak caution.
Finally, he ca to what appeared to be the end of the passage.
Bear in mind, this was already deep underground, though it was impossible to determine just how far.
What seed like an endpoint turned out not to be.
Instead, a cavern appeared before Tang Zhong.
“This tomb is truly marvelous!” Tang Zhong muttered under his breath.
The cave ahead undoubtedly held danger, but with only one path available, he had no choice but to proceed.
“Let’s go!”
Predictably, the Azure Dragon had likely passed through this cave as well.
Without hesitation, he dashed inside.
Contrary to his assumption, the cave wasn’t engulfed in darkness.
Instead, it glowed green, entirely surrounded by mosses and other vegetation that made the surface slick.
Tang Zhong took each step with care, fearful of slipping and falling.
Soon, a dense tangle of vines appeared ahead, completely blocking the path forward.
Tang Zhong reached out to grab them, intending to tear them down.
But the mont his hand touched the vines, a force pulled at him—it felt as if the plants were trying to drain his blood.
Tang Zhong quickly withdrew his hand.
There was sothing very wrong with these plants.
He glanced downward and noticed beside the vines were a cluster of green, moss-covered skulls and bones.
His brow furrowed imdiately.
Clearly, these vines were responsible.
Those skulls likely belonged to tomb raiders who had perished here over the years.
Without hesitation, Tang Zhong drew his Tang Sword.
With a swift slash, he severed the vines.
To his shock, a chilling scream emanated from the plants, as if they weren’t vegetation but living beasts.
The severed vines wriggled like serpents, thrashing wildly.
From the ends of the cut vines, sharp fangs began to erge.
When they hit the ground, they stopped moving and disintegrated into green liquid that seeped into the earth.
These plants were bizarre indeed.
With the path cleared, Tang Zhong pressed onward, but a few ters ahead, he faced yet another tangle of vines.
Once again, he raised his Tang Sword.
The sa scene repeated: the vines were cut, fell to the ground, and let out horrifying shrieks.
As Tang Zhong continued moving forward, he glanced back and saw an unsettling sight—the vines he had just severed had regrown, completely restoring themselves.
“This… this is too eerie!” Tang Zhong found himself struggling to believe his eyes.
This Underground Mausoleum was truly riddled with dangers.
What other perils lay ahead were still a mystery.
Judging by the decayed state of the bones on the ground, they weren’t fresh and likely didn’t belong to the Azure Dragon.
The Dragon must have already passed through here!
Tang Zhong gripped his Tang Sword tightly and continued slashing his way through.
In an instant, he cut down more vines.
The path forward opened once more.
But as he severed the final vine, a glimr of light caught his eye, rendering him motionless in sheer shock.
The scene before him left him utterly dumbfounded.
What lay ahead wasn’t the continuation of the tomb passage but sothing akin to an entire nation!
Standing at the mouth of the cavern, what stretched before Tang Zhong resembled a Cave Heaven.
The environnt mirrored the outside world—a brilliant blue sky and, in the distance, epic structures straight out of legend.
Overhead, skeletal birds peacefully soared.
The place where Tang Zhong now stood was a deer platform made of green bricks.
Leading down from the deer platform was a grand bridge lined with Qing Dynasty flags flapping on both sides.
At the far end of the bridge was a city, its architecture unmistakably that of the ancient Qing Dynasty.
Tang Zhong could hardly believe a scene like this existed beneath the surface.
Beneath Qin Shi Huang’s mausoleum lay such a magnificent hidden world.
No wonder the Azure Dragon had kept this place a secret.
Clearly, it was encountering issues too difficult to handle.
Everything here was disturbingly strange!
Moreover, Tang Zhong could feel the Raw Stone’s energy growing stronger as he pushed forward!
Could the Raw Stone’s power be responsible for these surreal surroundings?
At that mont, the ground suddenly started trembling.
Tang Zhong’s expression darkened as he caught the faint scent of Blood Power—soone was fighting ahead.
Without hesitation, he transford into an eagle-like stance and launched himself off the deer platform, heading across the bridge toward the distant city.
But suddenly, a thundering voice roared: “Who dares intrude upon His Majesty’s Mausoleum?!”
