Chapter 2058: Chapter 2062: Cemetery Map (Fourth Update)
"Brother Lin, what kind of mechanism is this?"
Chen Ping walked towards the altar, expressing his confusion.
Su Meng, hearing the cries of the white-faced zombies around them, tugged at Qin Tian’s sleeve, saying, "Brother Lin, we need to find a place to hide quickly, or else we’ll really die..."
Qin Tian stared at the altar and said, "The setup here is simple, if there’s a mechanism, it can only be on this divine elephant or this altar."
"We can try moving the divine elephant or the altar; there should be a mechanism if there really is one."
As Qin Tian spoke, Chen Ping approached the divine elephant, attempting to lift it, but found it immovable. He decided not to forcefully use True Qi and gave up.
"Try rotating it," Qin Tian suggested.
Hearing this, Chen Ping gently rotated the divine elephant.
Rumble...
Sure enough, just like the previous mechanism, a stone gate opened behind the altar, revealing a small secret chamber!
As soon as Qin Tian and the others stepped into the small secret chamber, two white-faced zombies suddenly appeared at the entrance of the large secret chamber!
"Brother Lin!"
Su Meng screamed in shock.
"Quick, come in, let’s find a mechanism to seal the small secret chamber and stop them from coming in!"
After entering the small secret chamber, Qin Tian immediately searched for a mechanism inside it.
Unfortunately, after the small secret chamber was opened, there was no mechanism that could close it again.
"Brother Lin, the zombies are coming, what should we do?" Chen Ping and Su Meng were utterly panicked at this moment.
Qin Tian saw that the small secret chamber contained only a box, and he said, "There’s only one box here; let’s take it with us, chase away these two zombies, and then continue looking for a way out."
Qin Tian stored the box from the small chamber into his storage bag, while Chen Ping and Su Meng were too preoccupied with escaping to care about the treasures.
The two of them used True Qi to barely hold the zombies at bay at the small secret chamber’s doorway.
However, they had exhausted all their techniques, even drawing their swords and slashing at the zombies multiple times, but the two white-faced zombies seemed impervious to their attacks, not even True Qi Sword Light could intimidate them.
"Let me handle it!"
Having encountered similar impervious creatures before, Qin Tian felt experienced in dealing with them. He told Chen Ping and Su Meng to step aside and launched into the attack with Fiery Flame Divine Skill, burning the two white-faced zombies!
"Brother Lin, is this effective?" Su Meng asked curiously.
"Whether it’s effective or not, it distracts them; shouldn’t we use this chance to escape?"
Qin Tian took the opportunity of the zombies’ bodies being lit on fire and dashed out, with Chen Ping and Su Meng closely following.
Previously, Qin Tian successfully used Fire Attribute True Qi to deal with these impervious monsters repeatedly.
This time, after burning, Qin Tian glanced back to find the two white-faced zombies extinguishing his True Qi flames!
They were cold zombies with some strange resistance power, even Fire Attribute True Qi flames were ineffective against them!
Clicking his tongue in dismay, Qin Tian quickly led Chen Ping and Su Meng away.
Fortunately, the movement speed of these white-faced zombies was slower than theirs, or they would have been in trouble in this chamber.
Using sound to locate, Qin Tian led Chen Ping and Su Meng to avoid places with zombies’ cries, arriving in a quiet chamber, and they crouched down between several gold coffins.
"Let’s see what’s inside this box first."
Qin Tian and Chen Ping, curious about the box they obtained from the small chamber, quietly opened it to find something resembling a scroll inside.
"Could it be a cultivation secret manual?" Su Meng wondered aloud.
Qin Tian unrolled the scroll, and the three of them found the drawing on the paper dumbfounding—
It was a map.
"What kind of map is this... hey, it looks a bit like the layout of these chambers," Chen Ping commented on the map in surprise.
Qin Tian said, "It must be the complete map of the Immortal King’s Tomb."
He gestured around and said, "See, the chambers in the Immortal King’s Tomb are connected, with exits only in these surrounding areas, but right now we’re lost in various chambers that all look the same. We have no idea where we are or how to get out."
When Qin Tian finished speaking, he noticed that on the map, one chamber was marked with a star.
"We should be here; I get it now... Haha, as long as we can avoid being hunted by the white-faced zombies and get out, it should be alright. Here, and here, are the two nearest exits."
While speaking, Qin Tian pointed to the map, but his gaze fell upon a circular marking near them on the map.
This was a trigram symbol with three circles outside, very conspicuous on the map.
"Brother Lin, since the exits are marked on the map, shouldn’t we hurry and leave?" Chen Ping whispered.
Qin Tian hesitated for a moment and said, "I can’t leave yet."
"Huh?"
Su Meng and Chen Ping were stunned as Qin Tian, who had just been talking about leaving together, suddenly changed his tune.
"I need to go to this spot."
Qin Tian pointed to the trigram marking and said, "I suspect the treasure is here. This is a treasure map."
Hearing this, Su Meng and Chen Ping exchanged glances, both hesitating whether to continue exploring with Qin Tian.
"So... shall we go?"
Previously willing to follow Qin Tian’s adventures, Su Meng was now terrified by the white-faced zombies and didn’t want to stay a moment longer. So after weighing the risks and dangers, she decided to leave.
Chen Ping was pleased to hear this and quickly agreed, "Then, Brother Lin, we part ways here?"
Qin Tian nodded, keeping his eyes on the map, and said, "Give me three minutes to memorize the map, then you can take it."
As a top immortality cultivator, fully concentrating for three minutes to memorize a map was no problem.
After memorizing the map, Qin Tian handed it to Chen Ping and said, "Until we meet again, I’ll head forward, and you follow me. Once we’re out of this large chamber, you go right, and I’ll go left. I wish you a safe journey."
Chen Ping and Su Meng nodded, and the three of them left the chamber, each going their separate ways.
Using his memorized map, Qin Tian swiftly headed towards the trigram marking.
