Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 445 - 443: Deadman’s Pit

RUMBLE...

A sudden change occurred. The once-flat ground began to heave upward.

Many people stumbled back in fright.

Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming stood at the edge of the crowd, not rushing forward just yet.

"What’s going on?"

"Quick, get back!"

The crowd cried out in alarm.

Everyone scrambled away from the rising earth.

At the same time, a grayish-brown stone stele slowly broke through the heaving ground.

In just a short while, a ten-meter-tall stone stele stood before them.

A line of characters was carved onto the stele.

"Lin Family Ancestral Tomb."

Once they read the words clearly, everyone was astonished.

They hadn’t been able to find the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb, and now it had suddenly emerged from beneath the ground.

No, what had emerged was merely the stele of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

Everyone stared at the scene.

"Haha, the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb has appeared!"

"It must be right here."

Some people were overjoyed. They had finally found the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

Immediately, almost in unison, everyone began searching for an entrance.

Unfortunately, after searching for a long time, they couldn’t find an entrance to the ancestral tomb at all.

"Dammit! Without an entrance, how are we supposed to find the Lin Family Secret Manual?"

Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming looked at each other in silence.

"The Lin Family Ancestral Tomb must have an entrance."

"I feel like this ancestral tomb is being controlled by someone," Murong Xiangming suddenly said to Jiang Chen.

After all, the stele for the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb wasn’t there a moment ago. Its sudden appearance was a bit too much of a coincidence.

Jiang Chen grew thoughtful.

At the same time, a faint, strange feeling bloomed in his heart.

It was as if something was making his heart beat a little faster.

’What in the world is going on?’

’Could there be something in this tomb that’s attracting me?’

Jiang Chen was extremely puzzled.

Standing there, he felt as if something underground was calling to him.

He recalled the familiar feeling he’d had when he first heard of the Ten Directions Calculation, a feeling he couldn’t quite place.

Now, that feeling was growing stronger.

’It seems I have to get to the bottom of this.’

Jiang Chen made up his mind. This time, he was determined to see the Lin Family Secret Manual in the tomb.

Just as everyone was thinking there was no entrance, the stone stele suddenly began to tremble slightly again.

Immediately, a crack appeared in its very center.

The crack rapidly widened until the entire stele split in two.

The two halves slowly slid apart.

They stopped only when a gap wide enough for three or four people to enter side-by-side had formed between them.

At the same time, a pitch-black passage was revealed within the split stele.

A cold, sinister wind blew out from it.

It caused many to shiver involuntarily from the chill.

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Quick, time to grab the treasure!"

"Ah, the treasure is mine!"

"Quick, charge in!"

With someone taking the lead, the crowd instantly descended into chaos.

Everyone knew that whoever rushed in first would have a better chance of getting the treasure.

The crowd swarmed inside.

Jiang Chen saw members of the Caterpillar Mercenary Corps mixed in the crowd, charging in as well.

Then, Xiao Jun, the captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, said to Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, we’re going in too."

He immediately led the members of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps in after the crowd.

Among them, the weakest were all high-level Martial Artists.

There were also more than ten Martial King Experts.

It could be said that this was a terrifying force.

Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming remained at the back.

Murong Xiangming was about to follow the crowd inside, but Jiang Chen suddenly stopped her. "Wait."

Murong Xiangming turned back and said urgently, "If we go in too late, we won’t get any treasure!"

Shaking his head gently, Jiang Chen said, "I have a bad feeling. This isn’t some auspicious, treasure-filled place."

"Haven’t you noticed? The air here is filled with sinister energy."

At that moment, Murong Xiangming froze.

A look of alarm flashed across her beautiful face.

"It seems I overlooked that."

She immediately stopped, no longer in a hurry to rush in.

They waited until everyone had disappeared into the passage.

Jiang Chen then said to Murong Xiangming, "Now, let’s go in."

He was curious about this place, but also very wary.

Having lived two lives, Jiang Chen had more than enough patience.

He always kept a level head.

The more valuable the treasure, the greater the danger.

That was why he chose to enter last.

Together with Murong Xiangming, he finally walked into the passage in the stele.

RUMBLE...

Just as they stepped into the passage, the stone stele behind them bizarrely began to close on its own, sealing the exit to the outside world.

Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming glanced at each other, and both saw the worry in the other’s eyes.

The sealed stele then slowly sank back into the ground. The entire clearing looked completely untouched, as if nothing had ever happened.

It certainly didn’t look like thousands of people had just been there.

「Meanwhile, in a dark corner of the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.」

A group of people was gathered here.

If Jiang Chen were present, he would have definitely recognized the leader of the group: Lin Yuan’s second uncle, Lin Ying.

Lin Ying lifted his hand from a protruding button.

He grinned malevolently. "I never expected this Lin Family Ancestral Tomb to be so treacherous."

"Good thing I brought Lin Yuan’s blood with me."

"It’s the only reason I escaped disaster."

A trace of fear flashed across his face.

He was the first person to enter the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

In doing so, he had discovered a secret.

He was now in a secret chamber. The button he had just touched was actually a mechanism for the Lin Family Ancestral Tomb.

He had faced danger, uncovered secrets, and found this mechanism. The stone stele outside was controlled by this very button.

It was he who had let everyone outside in.

A sinister smile spread across his face now. "I can’t believe a thing like the Deadman’s Pit actually exists."

"If the Deadman’s Pit isn’t filled with blood, no one will be able to get the treasure."

"So let’s use the lives of these few thousand people to fill it up."

As for the Martial Cultivators who had rushed in, they now found themselves in endless darkness the moment they entered the passage.

The darkness seemed to stretch on forever.

Fortunately, there was only a single passage leading straight ahead.

The crowd that had stormed in continuously surged forward.

Until, the person at the very front suddenly saw a glimmer of light.

In the darkness, that light was incredibly alluring.

It drove people mad.

"Treasure! It must be the treasure!"

The Martial Cultivator at the front roared crazily.

He shot toward the light at extreme speed.

The people behind him also spotted the light, and their eyes instantly turned red with greed.

They charged forward recklessly.

Soon, the first person reached the vicinity of the light.

But he froze.

The light was indeed right in front of him.

Looking closely, he saw that the source of the light was a coffin, which rested on a stone platform ahead.

The coffin was emitting a silvery-white glow.

However, a large pit had abruptly appeared in front of the man.

The pit was about one meter deep, two meters wide, and five meters long.

On the edge of the pit, two words were carved.

"Deadman’s Pit!"

This Deadman’s Pit lay between him and the coffin.

But, with the treasure in mind, the man hurriedly leaped forward, trying to jump across the Deadman’s Pit.
