The youth channeled his spiritual energy, activating the scroll in his hand before tossing it towards the ground in the distance, waiting for its explosive power to be unleashed.
But!
After a long while, the scroll did not explode.
The youth: " (￣(エ)￣)ゞ ?? "
"What's going on? Is it a fake scroll? Impossible, I've never heard of scrolls being fake."
The youth was extremely surprised, walked forward, picked up the scroll from the ground, and only then discovered that the scroll was intact and had not been activated by him.
"This... how could this happen..."
The youth was very puzzled, encountering such a situation for the first time, the scroll had actually failed. Da Feng Novel Network
"Young man, you have offended divine might, why don't you kowtow and apologize quickly... Kid, why are you hitting people again... Help, someone is hitting an elder!"
"..."
"If you yap any more, next year's this day will be your death anniversary." The youth chased for a while but found he couldn't catch up. The old man ran quite fast.
Everyone was also very surprised, unable to figure out why the scroll had malfunctioned.
Some people even tried other scrolls and said in surprise, "It seems that using items and the like is forbidden here. My items aren't reacting at all."
Upon hearing this, others quickly took out scrolls, items, and talismans, and all discovered that things from the outside could indeed not be used here.
"What a strange place, as expected of the dwelling of a half-god expert, to be able to set up such a restriction."
"After so long, even if not a god, the might of a half-god still lingers, this is the power of those at the peak of the pyramid."
"I wonder where the true tomb passage is."
"You are using your scrolls incorrectly, come, come, I'll teach you how to use them."
The old man stepped forward, took the scrolls from their hands, activated them with a solemn expression, and then transformed into a beam of light, fleeing into the distance.
"Holy crap! You old cheat, you lying old bastard!"
"Stop right there, or I'll pluck your feathers!"
"You old bastard, stop right there!"
"..."
Everyone watched speechlessly, never expecting this old man to be such a swindler, openly robbing others of their belongings, truly audacious.
But it had nothing to do with them, and no one paid any attention.
Li Chungang looked at the old man from before and said, "That old man is not simple."
"Could he also be a half-god realm expert?" Zhou Yan asked in surprise.
Shaking his head, Li Chungang replied, "Not yet at that level, but only a step away. He should be here seeking an opportunity."
"So strong, I feel a bit familiar, perhaps I'm mistaken." Zhou Yan shook his head, not paying much attention.
This place was indeed very strange, even items couldn't be used, and many people were here for the first time.
They could only rely on their own strength to find the entrance, but the entrance was too well-hidden. Unless one was proficient in formations, they wouldn't be able to find the tomb passage entrance.
The sky grew darker, but they still hadn't found the entrance.
They waited, and Zhou Yan and the others waited for another day.
The second day.
"It seems true experts have arrived."
Li Chungang and the others opened their eyes, sensing a very strong aura. These were true experts, coming from afar, specifically for the tomb of the half-god expert.
There were several factions among them. They gathered together and discussed cooperation. Even Zhou Yan couldn't figure out what they were saying.
"They want to find the true tomb entrance together and then explore the half-god's tomb together. Pseudo-divine artifacts, so that's it, they're all here for pseudo-divine artifacts."
Only Li Chungang could hear their conversation and obtained very important information from them.
"Pseudo-divine artifacts!" Their eyes shone.
Zhou Yan had recently acquired a pseudo-divine artifact. Although he couldn't probe its specific information, its power was extraordinary. When used as a brick to smash people, it was absolutely invincible.
It was a pity it wasn't suitable for Li Chungang to use, otherwise, even he would have been very tempted by such a treasure.
"They know a lot about the tomb's owner and specifically brought targeted treasures. They should be able to find the true tomb location. We can just wait."
Li Chungang also became interested, showing a hint of anticipation.
"What is that pseudo-divine artifact?" Zhou Yan asked curiously.
"It seems to be a damaged sword. It was originally supposed to be a true divine artifact, but unfortunately, it shattered. This is what I got from their conversation. For the specific details, we'll have to enter the tomb to find out."
Li Chungang replied.
"Even a damaged divine artifact would be very powerful. If you had this pseudo-divine artifact, your strength would surely increase by a large margin," Zhou Yan said.
"They are not sure if there is a pseudo-divine artifact inside. Everything is still an unknown." Li Chungang replied. If there was one, it would be good, but if not, he wouldn't care too much.
They were all waiting for those people to open the true tomb passage. After all, the tomb of a half-god expert wouldn't be that simple and would surely be filled with infinite dangers.
A dark figure appeared from afar, followed by a group of people, all of whom were cursing and wishing they could kill the old man in front.
This was the same old man from yesterday. It's unclear what sins he had committed, but he frequently found ways to rob others, leading to him being chased, yet he always managed to escape.
"Why is it this old scoundrel again... Hmm, I feel like this old man looks familiar..."
Zhou Yan looked at him curiously and found that the old man's target was them.
"Kid, we meet again." The old man looked at Zhou Yan and greeted him familiarly.
"Who are you?" Zhou Yan asked.
"Me? Qian Shun, Drafts Shun!" The old man reverted to his original appearance and replied to Zhou Yan.
"Oh, it's you. Why are you here, old man?"
Zhou Yan was indeed curious as to why this old scoundrel had changed his appearance and always liked to snatch things from others, acting erratically like a charlatan.
With his strength, doing such things was truly perplexing.
Moreover, this old man was a businessman, making it difficult to understand his true purpose.
"Do you want to do some business?" Qian Shun immediately revealed his merchant's demeanor.
"You should settle your own affairs first." Zhou Yan saw the people chasing Qian Shun and immediately shouted, "Everyone, this old scoundrel is here, come and beat him!"
Qian Shun: "Holy crap!"
"You young man, how can you be so disrespectful to your elders!" Qian Shun was about to curse when he saw Zhou Yan not helping him but instead attacking him.
"You old scoundrel, trying to shift blame! How could I fall for it!" Zhou Yan didn't care about Qian Shun's intentions; everyone had to solve their own problems.
