Chapter 179: Chapter 179 This is Brother Hao’s Charm
“Wow, impressive!” After Wang Hao finished speaking, everyone asked in unison, “This is practically the history of the Tomb Raider Sect! What do the other five sentences an?”
“People light candles, ghosts blow out lights, geomancy reversed searching for Seeking Star Peak,” Wang Hao said. “The aning of the second sentence is that you shouldn’t rush when entering ancient tombs. When you co across a coffin, you must first light a candle in the southeast corner before you can open the coffin! If the candle remains lit, it ans you can take the treasures you find out. But if the candle goes out, it ans the tomb owner disagrees. Then you must put back the treasures you’ve found, take nothing, and quickly exit the tomb, otherwise, sothing dangerous will occur!”
Everyone gasped in shock!
“Brother Hao, what if soone really takes sothing out? Will it be dangerous?” Fang Wenbin asked cautiously. “Will there really be danger?”
“The risk is considerable,” Wang Hao bluffed. “Otherwise, do you think just anyone can engage in tomb raiding?”
Everyone nodded in agreent. “Makes sense!”
Then they all looked at Wang Hao again — and they say you’re not a descendant of the Tomb Raider Captain!
Wang Hao continued to bamboozle them. “rcury spots, artifact preservation, countless visits to Dragon Tower Palace; the third sentence ans that you must be cautious of rcury when entering large tombs! rcury can prevent both the corpse and the treasures from decaying and rotting, but it’s highly toxic! Ancient people used rcury to preserve treasures, which over ti develop rcury spots, hence the term ‘rcury spots, artifact preservation.’ Visiting countless Dragon Tower Palaces signifies [the experience gained from’/having visited nurous tombs.“”
Everyone nodded vigorously. Good thing Brother Hao reminded us, otherwise, accidentally inhaling rcury fus is no joke!
“The fourth line, Sunk Coffin, bronze coffin, don’t approach if your life’s fate isn’t strong enough.” Wang Hao said. “In ancient tombs, if you encounter sunken wood or coffins made of bronze, be careful because these materials are specifically designed to prevent the tomb owner from ‘rising from the dead,’ as these tomb owners showed signs of zombification before their burials.”
“A zombification!” Duan Yunyun scread. “Don’t scare !” She burrowed into Fang Wenbin’s arms…
Wang Hao: “…”
Look how frightened you are, yet you still dare to partake in a tomb raiding adventure…
And don’t ntion it, right after she said that, a chilly wind suddenly swept over…
Everyone gasped collectively: “Descendant-bro, it’s all on you now!”
“If there aren’t even coffins here, why are you all so scared,” chided Wang Hao, deciding to keep the explanations brief, and otherwise, they’d be scared to death before even entering the cave: “Vertical burial pits, chest-like tombs, walk around them. This phrase ans if you encounter coffins that are buried vertically in the tomb or the entire tomb is in a box-like structure, you must walk around them. Red-dressed fierce spirits, smiling corpses, better to hear a ghost cry than to see one laugh—when you encounter corpses dressed in red, they are prone to rise as fierce spirits, and if they’re already risen and smiling, they’re definitely malicious spirits; however, crying spirits are easier to deal with.”
After finishing the explanation, Wang Hao summarized, “Actually, all these are passed down from the past; I haven’t seen any myself.”
The audience was utterly baffled: “Brother Hao is mighty!”
Having finally finished the explanation, Wang Hao said, “Alright, since we’re done talking, next I’ll assign tasks. We only have a few people here, so no refusals.”
“Brother Hao, what shall we do next?” At this point, Wang Hao had naturally beco the leader of the group, and Fang Wenbin asked, “You decide, we’ll all follow your lead.”
“Alright,” Wang Hao looked at the people present, then glanced at the distant cave entrance, and said, “There are four smaller caves inside this one; Zhao, you take the furthest left one, Fang, you take the second left, and you… what’s your na again?”
Li Mingzhe felt hurt. “Li Mingzhe…”
“Right, Li Mingzhe, you take right one,” Wang Hao then pointed at the last Jiang Feng, “You take right two.”
Every ti he saw Jiang Feng, Wang Hao rembered the music circle from his past life…
As he spoke, he handed each person a self-defense item and seriously instructed, “Rember, no matter what happens, ensure your own safety first! If you encounter any situation, return here to regroup imdiately! And especially rember to walk along the wall; if you co across a fork in the path, turn back imdiately. Did everyone understand?”
This was a matter of life and death. The four people did not dare to be careless and nodded together, “Understood!”
Wang Hao then arranged for Bai Yaning and Duan Yunyun, “Yaning, you and Duan Yunyun gather so dry wood around here as a backup,” Wang Hao said, “We might not be able to get out for a while. We’ll depend on fire for cooking, lighting, and heating. Understood?”
The two won nodded together, “Understood.”
“And what about you, Brother Hao?” Zhao Zhenhao asked. “Do you need our help with anything?”
“? The toughest task can only be handled by ,” Wang Hao said casually, shrugging his shoulders and shaking the compass, “Seeking Dragon, dividing gold by observing the mountains, each binding is a barrier! Gold Division and Positioning, finding the way out depends entirely on this guy!”
Everyone looked at him with admiration, “Brother Hao is aweso!”
Since the roles were clearly divided, everyone got to work.
As the four left, Li Mingzhe wondered aloud, “Eh? Why do we just naturally do what Brother Hao says?”
“Legend, it indeed still exists,” Fang Wenbin shrugged. “You’re just willing to do anything for him. Maybe that’s what they call the charm of a leader.”
“No, it’s Brother Hao’s charm,” Zhao Zhenhao stated.
The four each entered different cave entrances, Bai Yaning, and Duan Yunyun busied themselves, while Wang Hao wandered around with the compass.
He didn’t really know much about Gold Division and Positioning; the main reason he said so was to give himself space to think.
“Logically,” Wang Hao calculated as he walked, “based on the phenonon of sheer bad luck, such good fortune must correspond to once or twice a great opportunity! So this lucky dice causing an earthquake this morning to shake out, and causing a plane crash forcing to land here, it makes sense. However, what exactly this opportunity is, I can’t tell currently, but it’s definitely within this underground mountain cave, whether I can find it depends on whether I’m careful enough. I think there’s a high chance it’s a great hidden treasure, aren’t there always amazing finds in novels like surviving a cliff fall?”
Thinking this, Wang Hao looked around, and indeed, the signs of human alteration were very obvious in the large cave; he even found a stone platform polished smooth in one corner. Such smoothness could only be achieved through processing, naturally occurring stone couldn’t have these qualities.
Having discovered this, the matter beca simpler.
Soone had been here, which indicated that the cave had a history. As for what could be discovered—what a joke, today was his lucky day! The dice went to great lengths to bring him here; could the things here be anything less than extraordinary?!
