The moment Jiang Chen saw the Deadman’s Pit, he knew something was wrong.
The Deadman’s Pit was already filled with bloody water.
Although he had no memories of this specific Deadman’s Pit, he knew of an Array related to this type of tomb.
A tomb was an impure place by nature—somewhere only the dead should be.
Now, seeing the bloody water in the Deadman’s Pit, he felt even more strongly that this was more than just a pit—it was an Array.
And not a simple one.
’This is definitely a Chain Array.’
’We’re in deep trouble this time.’
While he was still thinking, the Martial King Expert, acting on his own, suddenly leaped up. He strode through the air as if it were solid ground, rushing toward the coffin on the other side.
His eyes gleamed with excitement.
’This time, the treasure will be mine!’
No matter what treasure was in the coffin, at the very least, he had come out ahead.
As for what the Ten Directions Calculation actually was, most people had no idea. They just knew there was treasure and came rushing in, risking life and limb.
The plan was to get their hands on it first and figure out the rest later.
WHOOSH!
He appeared above the Deadman’s Pit.
He arrogantly assumed he could cross it with ease.
But the next moment, a suction force erupted from below—and it was terrifyingly powerful.
BOOM!
He felt a horrific pulling force seize his body.
His body, suspended in midair, suddenly plummeted.
He was about to fall into the Deadman’s Pit.
The Martial King Expert’s face contorted in horror.
He tried to resist, but the suction force was simply too ferocious.
WHOOSH!
Before he could even struggle, he was dragged directly into the Deadman’s Pit.
"Ahhh..."
"Help me! Someone, save me...!"
The Martial Cultivator cried out for help.
But who would dare try to save him? One by one, they all scrambled backward in retreat.
SPLASH!
The Martial King Expert fell into the bloody water of the Deadman’s Pit, sending up a crimson spray.
But he didn’t seem to give up, struggling to get out of the Deadman’s Pit.
After a few moments of struggle, he went silent. Only a few bubbles remained; not even a bone was left.
"This..."
The crowd was scared witless.
The faces of the crowd contorted in shock.
Even a Martial King Expert couldn’t fly across that Deadman’s Pit.
Jiang Chen was now certain: this was an Array.
"This is a Chain Array."
Jiang Chen suddenly stepped forward.
Mr. Jiao and the others, their faces grim, stared coldly at Jiang Chen.
"You knew, kid?"
The crowd fixed their gazes on Jiang Chen.
A cold glint in their eyes.
Jiang Chen nodded. "I just figured it out. This Deadman’s Pit is the first array in the Chain Array."
"In other words, as soon as the first array is triggered, the second one will activate right after."
What?
The crowd was shocked once again.
Mr. Jiao glared at Jiang Chen and said angrily, "Kid, if you knew this was a Chain Array, why didn’t you say so earlier?"
Jiang Chen’s expression turned cold.
"I was the last one in. How was I supposed to tell you?"
"And even if I had, would you have believed me?"
Many people looked at Jiang Chen with hostility.
Murong Xiangming immediately put her guard up against the crowd.
She said coldly, "He tried to warn you before. Did anyone listen?"
"If that Martial King Expert had listened to him, he might not have died."
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Speak up! Are you two behind this?"
"I knew it! You two are definitely trying to harm us all."
Someone in the crowd had suddenly shouted the accusation.
It immediately caused an uproar.
Everyone drew their Magical Treasures, pointing them at Jiang Chen and Murong Xiangming.
At that moment, Xiao Jun, the captain of the Black Demon Mercenary Corps, suddenly stepped forward. "Everyone, don’t be rash."
"I know this Jiang Chen. It’s impossible that he’s the one who set this trap for us."
Mr. Jiao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Since you say this is a Chain Array, can you explain it to us?"
"Even if you’re not the one harming us, we need to see if what you’re saying is correct."
He also believed that Jiang Chen couldn’t possibly be the one who had set this up to harm everyone.
After all, if someone had designed this trap, it wouldn’t make sense for them to come out and talk about it. They would have hidden away first.
Jiang Chen nodded, stepped forward, and pointed at the Deadman’s Pit. "If I’m not mistaken, this Deadman’s Pit is what’s called a Blood Water Array. The Blood Water Array is a type of Death Array."
"As part of a Chain Array, the Blood Water Array is the first component. As soon as this first array is triggered, it will activate the second."
"I’ve watched the blood water appear from nothing, and now it has almost filled the Deadman’s Pit. This is a sign that the second array is about to activate."
"If the second array activates, it will definitely be a Corpse Transformation Array."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen suddenly shouted, "Quick! Stop the blood water from flowing into the Deadman’s Pit!"
"As long as the Deadman’s Pit isn’t full of blood water, the second array won’t activate."
The crowd was baffled.
They had no idea what a Blood Water Array or a Corpse Transformation Array was.
But Jiang Chen’s face was filled with anxiety. He had suddenly understood.
This Chain Array linked the Blood Water Array and the Corpse Transformation Array.
In his past life, he had studied Arrays and knew many of them. Of course, his Cultivation was so powerful back then that he never needed to pay attention to minor arrays like the Blood Water Array or the Corpse Transformation Array.
In his previous life, he knew that the Blood God Array and the Corpse God Array, when set up together, formed a Chain Array. They were usually used together, but even when used separately, they were powerful enough to slay gods.
But things were different now. The Blood Water Array and Corpse Transformation Array he had once looked down on now posed a mortal threat to him.
Though confused, the crowd hurried into action.
But Mr. Jiao said, "It’s too late. The Deadman’s Pit is full."
As his words fell.
The entire Lin Family Ancestral Tomb shook violently.
A series of terrifying tremors came from underground.
It caused the bloody water in the Deadman’s Pit to roil and churn.
A large amount of the bloody water overflowed.
"Not good!"
"Let’s go! The Corpse Transformation Array is activating! The Zombies are appearing!"
Jiang Chen suddenly grabbed Murong Xiangming and fled with incredible speed back the way they came.
Once the Deadman’s Pit was full of blood water, the Corpse Transformation Array would activate.
After all, in a foul place like a tomb, the Blood Water Array and the Corpse Transformation Array were the perfect choices to guard it.
Their power was considerable; any intruder who triggered them would likely never leave alive.
He had no choice but to flee first.
While the others were still frozen in a daze,
the Deadman’s Pit suddenly sank, plummeting downward as if a deep chasm had opened up beneath it.
RUMBLE!
A muffled thud echoed out.
Everyone felt the world around them suddenly change.
Mr. Jiao, Xiao Jun, and the others all cried out in alarm.
As for Jiang Chen, he hadn’t managed to run far either.
He found himself engulfed by darkness.
The ground beneath his feet gave way, and he and Murong Xiangming plummeted into the darkness.
THUD!
In the darkness, Jiang Chen landed on the ground, still holding Murong Xiangming’s hand.
He only let go after they had landed.
Murong Xiangming asked in alarm, "Jiang Chen, what’s going on?"
Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile and said in a grave voice, "This Lin Family tomb is not simple. Someone set up a Blood Water Array and a Corpse Transformation Array."
"Those who died in the Blood Water Array just now will soon become terrifying Zombies."
"The strength of the Zombies will vary depending on the power of the Array."
"But judging by the power of the Corpse Transformation Array here, I’m afraid the Zombies it creates will have at least Martial Master Cultivation, and there might even be some with Martial King Cultivation."
What?
Murong Xiangming’s expression changed drastically as well.
"So you’re saying... this place is about to be overrun by Zombies?"
Jiang Chen nodded, his tone growing heavy.
"Zombies created by this transformation are terrifyingly strong and impervious to ordinary weapons."
"Moreover, anyone who dies here will also transform and become a Zombie."
"It seems the master of this place had no intention of letting anyone get his treasure."
