Chapter 614 Ambush

Looking at the neatly arranged burial objects, Wan Lei once again confirmed that he had been tricked by the old man.

Last time he was tricked into drinking, this time he was tricked into tomb raiding. What about next time? Wouldn't he be tricked into robbing?

Suppressing his anger, Wan Lei gritted his teeth,

"I, the dignified Thunder God, how can I do despicable things like grave robbing with you!"

"Hey, look at what you're saying, these are all money. If they are left here, they are just piles of scrap metal, which is a terrible waste of resources.

If we take them away, let them circulate, let the people get rich, improve the country's economic level, this is a great thing that benefits all living beings."

"I am a good person, a good person with morals and principles."

"So?"

"You have to pay more."

"...Five-five split."

"No, there are three of us, we split equally."

"You get two shares, and I only get one?"

"No, right? Then I'll leave now. I'll go out and block your hole, and you can stay here with these broken pieces of scrap metal, watching these treasures but unable to go out and spend them, driving you crazy and making you furious."

"I... Fine, fine, three shares it is, alright? Hurry up and search, before the owner comes back."

"Alright, since you are forcing me like this, I have no choice but to reluctantly do these good deeds that benefit all living beings with you."

Wan Lei sighed, looking very troubled, but his hands did not stop stuffing things into his storage bag.

Fang Xiaoyu, watching Wan Lei's shameless behavior from the side, couldn't stop laughing.

Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu both had storage bags that could hold many things, but looking at the old man, he had no bags at all. As soon as the things were in his hands, they disappeared, which immediately caught Wan Lei's attention.

"Old man, where did you hide the things?"

Asking questions when you don't understand, like a good student.

"What do you care? You keep your things, I keep mine. Why bother with so much idle talk?"

Old Gou gave him a sideways glance and continued to search.

"Let me see, you don't have a storage bag either, where did you hide it?"

Wan Lei grabbed Old Gou's hand and finally found a ring on it.

"Can this ring hide things?"

Wan Lei examined it curiously. He had only seen storage bags that could store things before.

Of course, he also had the Qiankun Bag which could hide demon beasts, and the Yuming Map which could collect souls.

"You have things that can store things, why can't I? Scram, scram, hurry up and search, we'll go to the next place after this."

The old man snatched his hand back and continued to search.

"Hmph, what a useless thing, I don't care about it. If you wear that thing on your hand and punch out, before the enemy dies, your ring will shatter first, it's truly a chicken rib."

"You know nothing."

The old man couldn't be bothered to explain. This thing was called an Empty Ring, and it could only be made with top-grade materials. Ordinary people couldn't afford it, and it wouldn't shatter so easily.

The process of searching the tomb was smooth, with no unexpected incidents, which made Young Master Lei, who had been tormented by all sorts of accidents for years, a little unaccustomed to it.

After searching the tomb, Wan Lei's gaze turned to the three sarcophagi.

The three sarcophagi were placed alone in the center of the tomb, made of bronze and with ancient designs.

"The burial objects in the coffins must be the best, right?"

Wan Lei licked his lips and walked towards the middle sarcophagus with a smile.

As for opening coffins to take treasures, Wan Lei didn't care if it was taboo or not. He, who killed people every day, cared about these things?

"Hey, don't mess with the dead people's coffins, be careful of reanimation. There have been many cases of corpses turning into zombies before."

"Tch."

Young Master Lei sneered and ignored Old Gou. Even if there were zombies, he wouldn't be afraid.

What's more, Young Master Lei had no idea what a zombie was.

Wan Lei walked to the bronze sarcophagus, placed his right hand on the coffin lid, and pushed it lightly. The lid of the sarcophagus immediately opened about a foot long.

Suddenly, the moment the coffin lid was opened, before Wan Lei could get a clear look inside, a stream of azure flame shot towards him.

The distance between them was too close, and the blue flame was extremely fast. Wan Lei had no time to dodge, and the only thought that flashed through his mind was to activate his armor.

Finally, when the flame was only a few centimeters away from his face, and he could feel the terrifying cold aura, his armor enveloped him.

Boom!!!

The flame hit Wan Lei's face, sending him flying backward.

The flame fell to the ground, silently, and the ground began to melt with the burning of the flame.

Wan Lei fell to the ground, the lids of the three sarcophagi were all flung open, and three figures in white robes soared into the air, killing them without hesitation.

"Go!"

Wan Lei did not hesitate, grabbed one in each hand, used his thunder escape, and arrived outside.

He wasn't trying to escape, he just wanted to change the battleground. The tomb was too cramped to deploy formations and divine abilities. Coming outside, whether to fight or retreat, he could face it calmly.

Most importantly, although Wan Lei didn't know what zombies were, he also knew that such evil creatures would most likely be weakened in the sunlight.

After flashing to the outside, Young Master Lei looked up,

Damn it,

it was dark.

Behind him, with a rumble, the three white-clothed figures had flown out by lifting the roof of the tomb.

Seeing that Wan Lei and his two companions were ready and waiting, and that they could no longer ambush, Xi Renjun was no longer in a hurry.

"Netherworld Cold Fire, are you people from the Xi Ren family?"

Old Gou's eyes narrowed, looking at the flame in Xi Renjun's hand, he said in a deep voice.

"This seat is Xi Renjun."

Xi Renjun's expression was blank, and he looked at the three of Wan Lei as if they were corpses.

"Xi Renjun, the second in command of the Xi Ren family. Good, I won't say any more superfluous words. Xi Ren Duanxiang was killed by us. You've come for revenge, haven't you?"

The old man had no trace of his usual lecherous demeanor. All that remained was a detached and ethereal composure, and a confidence that looked down upon the world.

"Yes, you few are quite bold. In our Xi Ren family's territory, you dare to kill our young master. You truly don't know when to stop. Who sent you?"

The Cao family? The Beast Race? The Buzhihuo family? Or...

The Imperial Family?

Xi Renjun still thought that some other force had specifically targeted his Xi Ren family's young master.

"No one instructed us. Your family's young master was wicked and abused his power, bullying men and women. Killing him was like eliminating a scourge for the people. You don't need to thank this old man."

Old Gou flicked his sleeves, radiating arrogance.

"Very well, after capturing you, we'll interrogate you under severe torture."

"Hmph, killing your useless young master, would it benefit those few forces at all? It would be better to capture him alive to threaten you."
