The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot

Chapter 108: Chapter 108 Tomb Robber

They hadn’t walked far when the two groups met.

When they saw Zhong Niangyao and her party, the people opposite immediately became vigilant. The way they looked at them was as if they were poisoned, as if they were ready to deal with them in the next second.

Zhong Niangyao looked at the group opposite. There weren’t many people, just four, three men and one woman, each dressed in sportswear for easy movement. However, it was clear that these four had altered their faces with the intention of concealing their true identities.

The four of them clearly hadn’t expected to encounter other people inside the General’s Tomb.

Upon seeing the existence of others, their first thought was to kill them and eliminate any witnesses. They were Tomb Robbers, accustomed to living on the edge, licking blood off the knife’s blade. In the past, they wouldn’t hesitate to stab their own comrades in the back for the sake of profit, let alone a few strangers!

But being able to raid tombs for so many years and still be alive, they were not rash people. They could tell that the people they were facing did not look like easy targets.

Even though they looked like ordinary people, the aura they emitted was not something ordinary people had. Even the foreigner who seemed a bit carefree was emanating an aura that screamed ‘not to be trifled with.’

Most importantly, their group of four had recently formed on the fly, and each had their own secret agenda. If a fight broke out, they would have to beware of potential stabs in the back from their own teammates, in addition to the strangers in front of them.

No matter how they looked at it, initiating a fight seemed to be to their disadvantage.

“Greetings, everyone. My name is Zhao Si, and it’s fate that we are all descending into the same tomb,” the bearded and rugged man who led them said as he clasped his fists in greeting, “I think we are all here for profit, so why not travel together? When we find something valuable, we can rely on our skills to claim it. What do you think?”

Everyone was on the same path, and their ultimate goal was definitely the main tomb chamber. Anyone with knowledge on the subject knew that the treasures accompanying the tomb’s owner were all in the main chamber.

Instead of fighting each other to the death, it made more sense to join forces and make their way to the main chamber together.

On their way, they realized that the General’s Tomb was more dangerous than any other tomb they had raided. In fact, there were originally six of them, not just four; the other two had perished earlier. Now, walking with the other party seemed to offer more benefits than risks.

Everyone’s gaze turned to Lu Yichen, as if waiting for his decision.

The four strangers also recognized that the decision-maker among the new group was Lu Yichen. They too involuntarily looked towards him.

Zhong Niangyao stood aside with little expression on her face, seemingly indifferent. She didn’t care one bit about whether the others joined or not.

This tomb raid was merely a transaction with Lu Yichen. She had no intention of gaining anything from the tomb, so naturally, she didn’t mind if others joined.

Lu Yichen nodded. Although he didn’t respond verbally, his intent was clear.

The team, which originally consisted of seven people, now included four more. However, the atmosphere wasn’t any livelier. Even though they temporarily formed an alliance to head to the main chamber together, there was a clear delineation between them.

While they were walking, they unknowingly entered a chamber. Just as they stepped in, the door of the chamber suddenly closed.

By the time they realized it, they had already been trapped inside the chamber.

Lu Yichen and his party remained especially calm, even when the door abruptly shut; they only glanced at it quietly. Immediately, Zhou Yifu and a few others discreetly surrounded Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao in the middle.

However, Zhao Si and his group looked like they were facing a formidable enemy when the door closed.

“Be careful, everyone,” Zhao Si warned. “There’s definitely something even more terrifying in this room; we can’t let our guard down.”

His three companions also tensed up.

They had encountered such unexpected traps before. Every time, they brought tremendous danger, and it was due to these incidents that they had lost two people.

Not long after, they heard rustling sounds accompanied by clicking noises. In the quiet of the chamber, the noises were exceptionally eerie.

Though the door was closed, the oil lamps within had all been lit. The chamber was well illuminated, which meant they could see the terrifying scene with vivid clarity.

Looking towards the source of the noise, they saw a hair-covered zombie emitting waves of corpse poison and exuding a chilling presence as it emerged from the shadows.

Although it was a monster that had lost its reason, when they saw its eyes, they couldn’t shake the feeling that it was staring right at them.

“Darn, it’s a Mao Jiang,” Li Lu from Zhao Si’s group couldn’t help exclaiming in a trembling voice.

As for Lu Yichen’s party, when the Mao Jiang appeared, they all entered into combat mode.

Zhong Niangyao watched the Mao Jiang, her expression barely changing, even displaying an extraordinary level of calmness.

Mao Jiang, notorious for their strong, unbreakable bodies and swift movements, were not afraid of sunlight or ordinary flames. They stood high in the zombie hierarchy and were extremely difficult to deal with.

Once the Mao Jiang appeared, it seemed to have set its sights on Zhao Si’s group, attacking them directly.

Zhao Si and his group brought out all their tactics.

After all, as Tomb Robbers, they had been through many tombs and naturally had ways to deal with zombies. Peach Wood Swords, talismans, black dog blood, and various items were continuously thrown at the Mao Jiang.

While Zhao Si and his party were constantly contending with the Mao Jiang, even Li Lu and his female companion Mao Qin had been injured by it. The blood flowing from their wounds was black, indicating the potency of the corpse poison.

In contrast to their disheveled state, Zhong Niangyao and her group stood to the side, as if they were merely spectators watching a play.

They weren’t sure why the zombie wasn’t attacking them, but even so, they maintained the highest level of vigilance, ready to face the zombie’s attack at any moment.
