Su Mo wore his colored contacts, so the changes in his retina went unnoticed by the two. His gaze looked over the distance towards the ridge ntioned by Qin Maosheng.
A few seconds later, he spoke.
"It’s true, I’m 90% certain that Mr. Qin is right."
"Really?" Yang Qingxi asked again, slightly surprised. If that’s the case, then maybe it’s a good idea to recruit a talent like Mr. Qin Maosheng.
Su Mo nodded and explained. "In my vision, there’s a large yin energy gathered in that area and the magnetic fields there seem abnormal."
"Then won’t the abnormal magnetic fields interfere with our equipnt?" Yang Qingxi asked with a frown.
"Nope, it won’t. With here, the magnetic fields aren’t a problem."
Su Mo’s assurance eased her frown.
"In that case, let’s go down first. Sister Xulin, take out the mountain climbing equipnt."
"Yes, Miss."
Zhang Xulin was about to take the things out, but Su Mo stopped her.
"It’s unnecessary and would take a lot of ti. I have a better way."
"What way?" Yang Qingxi asked with a raised brow. Zhang Xulin also looked over curiously.
Su Mo unhurriedly reached into his backpack and took out a... sword?
Under their suspicious gazes, he tossed the sword into the air with a flick of his wrist. Yet, instead of falling. The sword hovered effortlessly, suspended in mid-air.
That wasn’t all.
Su Mo leapt upward and landed squarely atop the floating blade, standing imposingly.
*Snap*
Zhang Xulin was the first to react. She pointed at Su Mo with a horrified look and stamred.
"S-s-s-Sword Immortal?!!!!"
Su Mo stared at her silently, as if in acquiescence.
Only Yang Qingxi had a strange look on her face, and the corner of her lips twitched.
[Be surprised! Hehe~ The Sword Immortal is here! Bow down to , oh~ puny mortals!]
If she hadn’t heard his inner voice, maybe she would have been impressed.
But now, forget it. It’s already enough that she can hold back her complaints.
While resisting the urge to laugh, Yang Qingxi tried to show an impressed look and asked.
"How did you do that, Su Mo? If I am not wrong, flying with a sword can only be achieved at the Nascent Soul Stage. But you are-"
"Just at the Foundation Building stage, right?" Su Mo took over her words and looked at her smugly, causing her brows to twitch.
"Oh, what can I say when I am just special? You know~"
Yang Qingxi clenched her fists and resisted the urge to punch his smug face. She tried to calm herself while hearing the truth through his inner voice.
[There’s no way I am gonna tell that it’s the effect of my special technique, Magnetic Control.]
’So, that’s it. Magnetic Control, huh? No wonder he was confident in dealing with the abnormal magnetic field.’
After understanding the situation, Yang Qingxi didn’t feel surprised anymore. She looked at him, showing off in front of Sister Xulin, and the star-eyed Sister Xulin looked at him with admiring eyes.
"Wow~ Su Mo! You are so amazing!"
"Hehe~ It’s nothing special~"
Yang Qingxi couldn’t help but interrupt his pretence.
"Let’s continue this chat later. Su Mo, can you take us flying too? Or are you going to carry us?"
"Don’t worry, just take out your swords."
Although he was interrupted, Su Mo wasn’t angry. No way! How can he be angry at his goddess of wealth?
---
By riding the flying swords, it didn’t take long for them to arrive at the suspected tomb location.
"It’s so cold here." Zhang Xulin said while shivering. Yang Qingxi also felt very uncomfortable, which made her face contort into a frown.
Su Mo gathered so yang energy into his palms and put his hands on their shoulders. The yang energy gently covered them completely, easing their cold, making them feel like in a warm embrace.
"Ah~ It’s so comfortable."
They purred like cats and let out soft moans, which made Su Mo a little embarrassed.
To distract himself, Su Mo activated his [Devil’s Eyes], searching for the tomb entrance. With his insight, it only took him a few seconds to find it.
He crouched and, with force, uprooted a tree root. He kept pulling it until the entire tree was pulled out, and a ter-wide hole ca into their view.
"You found the entrance?" Zhang Xulin’s surprised voice ca.
"Yeah, let’s go down. This hole is about 10 ters deep, shouldn’t be a problem for you both."
Upon seeing them nod, Su Mo jumped down first.
*Thump*
After his descent, Su Mo made sure that there were no traps, then let them follow.
Although Su Mo had no problem with his vision in the dark, he still let Zhang Xulin turn on the flashlight. After all, the other two didn’t have night vision like him.
What appeared in their vision was a small corridor made of yellow stone, sloping downwards.
"Follow closely..."
Even with his strength and abilities, Su Mo didn’t dare to be careless when entering a tomb. After all, Yang Qingxi and Zhang Xulin weren’t as powerful as him.
If they underestimate the tomb, with just a slight mistake, so traps could hurt them badly or even kill them.
He didn’t want to encounter such a situation and let them die.
After a few minutes of walking, the corridor ended, and they ca into a wide area. There was nothing but a huge tallic door about 3 ters long and 2 ters wide.
On it was a pattern of a lion roaring towards a dragon, and the sky was covered with a thunderstorm.
"They look so lifelike..." Zhang Xulin stared at the dragon and tiger in amazent.
"How to open this door?" Yang Qingxi stared at the gate with a frown. In the original story, Ye Chen and the Tomb Robber dug a hole and entered halfway. They didn’t encounter this gate.
’There is no robbery hole at this ti. We have to find our own way.’
"Su Mo, can you force this door open?" Yang Qingxi suggested.
"Yeah, but there’s no need. I have a better idea." Su Mo said with a smirk.
