I Became the Legendary Emperor Throughout the Ages After I Started Giving Away My Territory

Chapter 225.2



“The heck, such a big rock!”

“Let’s run!”

Everyone started to run in panic.

Only one person bravely charged out, standing in front of the boulder and shouting, “Don’t be afraid! I am Innate, and I can split this rock with one slash!”

With that, he exerted all his strength and slashed down.

“Boom”

The rock remained unscathed.

His sword, however, broke into two pieces.

“F*ck, it’s a diamond rock! Run!”

The group scrambled away in a frenzy.

However, no matter how fast they ran, the boulder relentlessly pursued them, leaving them breathless.

“Eight Master Hu, think of something!” the people pleaded.

“Don’t panic, everyone. I’ll find us a way out!”

Eight Master Hu, running at the front, took out the compass and muttered, “Seek the dragon to divide the gold, divide the gold by observing the coiled mountains. Each coil represents a barrier…”

He then pointed in a direction: “There’s the way out, let’s run that way!”

“Hurry up, listen to Eight Master Hu!”

But within less than the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, another rumbling noise came from ahead.

Looking closely, another huge boulder was rolling towards them.

Eight Master Hu was dumbfounded: “This was clearly a way out. How could there be a boulder here?”

Two giant boulders blocked both ends, rolling towards the center and crushing everything in their path.

There was no escape, and everyone panicked.

“This is no way out. It’s a dead end!”

“Eight Master Hu, you’ve led us astray!”

“We’re done for, we’ll be flattened into pancakes!”

The two boulders drew closer and then collided with a loud bang.

Screams followed as three people were crushed into a pulp.

The others managed to survive by hiding in the crevices between the boulders, but the sight of the three flattened companions left them deeply shaken.

After crawling out from between the boulders, they gathered their belongings and continued forward, their mood significantly heavier.

Eight Master Hu took out a compass and said, “We’ll take this path next!”

“Eight Master Hu, are you sure? We just followed you and nearly got flattened!” Wang Pangzi questioned.

Eight Master Hu was also a bit embarrassed: “That was just an accident, trust me, there’s no mistake this time!”

About the time it takes to brew half a cup of tea later.

With his keen ears, Wu Xie whispered, “Do you hear that? Is there some kind of noise?”

“There is indeed some noise. It sounds like running water!”

“It’s right ahead!”

At that moment, a torrent of water appeared before them, rushing over like a flood.

Once again, they panicked.

“It’s really water, we need to run!”

“Run!”

They kept running and running..

But their running speed was no match for the flood.

In no time at all, they were engulfed by the surging waters, completely drenched.

Submerged in the flood, their faces turned green from the stench.

“Damn it, this water is full of urine and shit!”

“And it’s fermented, yuck!”

“It’s so f**king stinky, it smells worse than a corpse!”

“Who’s so vicious to design such a trap, it’s so disgusting!”

After what felt like an eternity, they finally struggled ashore.

But from head to toe, they reeked unbearably.

As for the food they brought with them, it was almost completely soaked through.

Looking at the dry cakes in their hands, mixed with yellow urine and green feces, it was nauseating to even glance at, let alone eat it.

“Ugh…”

Everyone started vomiting, no one was spared.

After resting for an hour, they all continued on while enduring the stench.

“Next, we’re heading this way!” The pale-faced Eight Master Hu pointed to another direction. His hair was matted with sickly green feces, and a maggot wriggled out, baring its fangs and claws.

“Ew~” Everyone took three steps back in disgust.

“Eight Master, you sure this time? Make sure you’re right before you say anything, I don’t want to eat shit again!” Wang Pangzi said, holding his nose.

“Eight Master, I don’t want to either!” Wu Xie added, his face ashen.

“Trust me, this time it’s definitely right. I stake my reputation on it!” Eight Master Hu swore.

“What if you’re wrong again?” Wang Pangzi asked.

“If I’m wrong, I’ll eat shit right in front of you all!” Eight Master Hu declared loudly.

“Let’s just keep going. We can’t escape what’s coming!” Ni Pusa sighed.

About half an incense stick’s time later, they stepped on solid ground only for it to suddenly collapse with a thunderous sound.

And then they fell…

Fell into a cesspit!!!

“Ah~~”

Immersed in the yellow-brown feces, they felt utter despair!

“Great! Just now we were drowning in urine. Now we’re drowning in shit!”

“I’ve imagined a million ways to die but never thought I’d die in shit!”

“Eight Master, you jinx! Don’t speak recklessly next time!”

After much struggle, they climbed out of the cesspit and continued on their way.

Next, they encountered many traps and mechanisms roughly every hour, leaving them exhausted and drained.

The traps and mechanisms varied: there were boulders, blades, volcanic lava, and bewildering smoke…

But every day, they would fall into a cesspit about three times.

It disgusted them beyond words.

Meanwhile, their numbers dwindled daily.

They started with more than 20 people, and now only 5 remain.

Eight Master Hu, Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, Ni Pusa, and the sole Innate.

Despite encountering so many traps and mechanisms, they hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the tomb. Their hearts were filled with a sense of defeat.

“If I had known, I would never have come!”

Wang Pangzi said bitterly: “In my life, I’ve eaten more shit than I’ve shat!”

“Could you have refused to come? They put a knife on your neck, how dare you not come?” Wu Xie replied irritably.

“Let’s all save our breath and conserve some energy. Who knows what kind of traps we’ll encounter next!” Eight Master Hu said weakly, wishing he could just die.

The other two sat silently, not uttering a word.

…….

Outside, a week had already passed.

The Grandmasters were growing increasingly anxious.

“How come they haven’t come out after such a long time?”

“I sent someone to check, and all the clues they left behind have been cut off!”

“Could they have died?”

“Don’t talk nonsense! Everyone else made it out. They’re so strong, so they should be fine!”

“Maybe they’ve found the tomb of Heavenly Khan and are excavating it!”

Not far away, Great Xia was still busy conducting business.

By now, almost a month had passed since the tomb was discovered.

The number of treasure hunters that had gathered here had reached an astonishing 800,000, providing Great Xia with millions, even tens of millions of taels in revenue daily, making Lin Beifan’s profits overflow.

……

“Tourism is really a lucrative business!” Lin Beifan thought to himself with glee.

He really wanted to keep this business going forever, but unfortunately, things don’t always go as one wishes.

Another month went by, and the number of treasure hunters continued to increase, yet they found nothing.

The Grandmasters finally lost their patience.

“We can’t wait any longer, let’s forcefully break in!”
