Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 391

After coming out of the cold stone room, the six people in Xiao Lou's group and the six people in Gui Yuanzhang's group continued to walk deeper into the labyrinth. There was a gust of wind through the corridor paved with stone slabs that made everyone get goosebumps. In the quiet corridor, there was only the sound of breathing and footsteps.

Old Mo was holding the compass to check. Their route was still heading eastward but it wasn't due east. It was around 10 degrees offset from the east.

They walked some distance before Old Mo stopped. He looked around and opened his mouth. "How big is this ancient tomb? We've been walking for 10 minutes since we came out of the stone room but we still haven't found anything."

Xiao Lou also felt puzzled. He looked at the plan drawn by Old Mo. After leaving the six realms of reincarnation room, they walked in a straight line. 500 meters passed and they found the first sarcophagus. Next was another straight line and there was no fork in the road.

He pressed down on the headset to ask about the situation on the opposite side. "Senior Gui, have you found anything over there?"

Gui Yuanzhang replied. "No, it is a straight corridor. There are no murals on the walls and no mechanisms."

Xiao Lou asked again, "What about the direction? It still hasn't changed?"

Gui Yuanzhang looked down at the compass in his hand. "Yes, it is just like before."

Xiao Lou felt helpless. "Keep going and stay in touch."

They walked forward for another few minutes before finding that the walls were once again covered in colorful murals.

Yu Hanjiang held up the Night Pearl for illumination. Xiao Lou walked over to observe carefully. The contents of the murals still depicted the period from infancy to adulthood. It was just that this time, there was no scene of the marriage. Judging from the clothes and hair, the protagonist of the mural seemed to be a man.

The clue of the totem had been found in the mural before. Xiao Lou observed the murals more carefully this time. The man's black hair was tied in a bun on top of his head with a simple elegant wooden hairpin and he had a jade pendant on his waist in the shape of a crescent moon. The last mural looked like the scene of him joining the army? The man wore the armor of an ancient soldier.

Xiao Lou was stunned. "It isn't a woman this time."

It had previously been speculated that the owner of the tomb had married many young girls from different tribes to sacrifice them and bury them alive in the ancient tomb... now the appearance of a man in the murals showed that this speculation was wrong.

After reading the murals, a stone door appeared in front of them. There was a simple Taichi diagram that would open the mechanism as long as the pattern was restored. As Xiao Lou speculated, there was a sarcophagus in the stone room and the blood oozing from the gaps in the sarcophagus had already solidified and blackened.

Would there be resentment again that would make them fall into a hallucination? The group took a step back and stared warily at the sarcophagus. However, one minute passed and nothing happened.

Xiao Lou told them, "Open it and see."

Yu Hanjiang pulled out his dagger and split open the lid of the sarcophagus. There was a white skeleton inside the coffin that was wearing armor. The metal armor had long since oxidized and blackened due to age. He held a jade pendant in his hand that was the same as in the mural. There was the mark of a crescent moon on it.

Xiao Lou leaned over to look closely at the bones and analyzed, "It is an adult male and the age should be around 25 years old. There were signs of a fierce struggle before his death. All of the bones in his hands were broken."
