But upon seeing it, he jumped back in fright: "My heavens, that’s a human head. My heavens, this thing eats people!" Fan Debiao’s face also turned deathly pale.

Following the trail of blood, his gaze drifted further, only to discover that there were no fewer than thirty similar heads at the scene. "Could this guy have eaten over thirty people?" Liu Dashao's first thought paralyzed him: "Over thirty people?

How is that possible?" Seeing the thirty-plus heads, Fan Debiao was so terrified he collapsed onto the ground: "Damn it, this guy is too monstrous." Continuing to watch the heads scattered nearby, they couldn't help but gag retching. Liu Dashao said, "Let's move quickly.

Looking at these heads, they haven't been gone long since they were eaten. There might still be a small group ahead of us.

Perhaps we can unite, and our chances of escape will be greater." Hearing that there were still humans ahead, Fan Debiao and Su Yougui finally mustered some spirit: "Heavens above, I don't want any part of what’s in here. Please, just send me back out." Liu Dashao mused internally.

The fact that over thirty people could come here all at once, coupled with traces of gunfire, suggested this was likely the work of a tomb raiding syndicate; otherwise, they wouldn't possess such substantial funding. With that thought, he didn't linger.

He simply followed the exit, kicked it open, and squeezed through. It was still a small, spiraling cavern.

This tomb tunnel twisted one loop after another; anyone impatient or truly desperate would never find their way out. However, Liu Dashao knew the mindset of a tomb raider and understood the purpose behind setting up so many branching tunnels, which is why he didn't fall for the trap.

He continued following the path downward. After walking for an indeterminate amount of time, they finally found the source of the disturbance, as they noticed the mottled bloodstains on the ground had reappeared.

And this time, they even heard a moan. Every nerve in Liu Dashao’s body snapped to attention.

He realized this might be one of their survivors. Liu Dashao called out, "Hey, is anyone here?" But there was no reply.

Fan Debiao also shouted, "Brother, don't worry, however many of you there are, we can stick together and escape. We are good people." But the only response was the moan, nothing else.

Liu Dashao couldn't help but feel curious. He activated another Fire Talisman in his hand, instantly illuminating the cave with bright light.

When they looked, they were stunned to see a beautiful woman before them. This woman was completely naked, spotless, and was currently using her hand to touch her private parts—the moan had clearly originated from her mouth.

Beneath her lay a soft mattress, and her skin possessed a luminous, almost translucent sheen, truly like that of a celestial being. Fan Debiao had once seen a woman like this once, on a movie set.

But even that actress wasn't as beautiful as this young woman, because the actress had makeup on, whereas the one before them was entirely natural. Such beauty, such irresistible allure—no man could endure it.

"Come here, my lord, come here! I want it, I want it!" The woman gazed at the three of them with eyes full of desire.

Her luscious lips constantly beckoned them, and as her hands spread open, the place that ensnared all men was instantly revealed without reservation. The three men froze momentarily, and at the same time, Fan Debiao and Su Yougui’s lower halves were already straining against their trousers.

Liu Dashao was no exception, though his underwear happened to be too tight, making his protrusion less prominent than the other two. "Hurry up and come!

Hurry, I can't take it anymore, ah, ah, ah, it’s so itchy, so itchy! Hurry up and thrust inside!

I want all three of you, hurry up, hurry up!" The beautiful woman's voice grew increasingly intense, finally becoming ragged, screaming "Ahhh, ahhhh," constantly testing the limits of the three men. "What are you waiting for?

Hurry, hurry, I can't hold on, I'm about to break!" As she spoke, the beauty’s slender, fragrant legs moved to hook around Liu Dashao's groin. It happened in an instant.

Liu Dashao pulled a talisman from his chest and slapped it onto his forehead. Her legs immediately retracted.

Looking closely then, damn it, the thing before them was a Zongzi—a mummy that had cultivated sentience. Liu Dashao bit his finger and let a drop of blood fall onto the ground.

A puff of green smoke immediately billowed up around the beautiful woman. Liu Dashao then tapped Fan Debiao and Su Yougui on their foreheads, and the two snapped back to consciousness.

Seeing the green smoke, they both shouted about how disappointing the situation was. When the smoke dissipated, they saw the reality.

Beneath where the smoke had been was a desiccated corpse. This mummy wore a thin silk gauze garment.

Although its skin was wind-dried, one could tell how radiant her skin must have been in life; there wasn't even a single pimple, perfectly smooth. If she had been alive, what an extraordinarily beautiful woman she would have been.

Liu Dashao steadied his mind. He had nearly been bewitched by this young beauty just moments ago.

If the three of them had truly gone forward, they would likely be dried corpses by now. Thinking this, Liu Dashao felt a surge of relief—relief that he hadn't actually gone through with it.

The other two, however, still appeared mentally shaken. Liu Dashao tapped each of their heads again.

Their senses returned slightly, but their movements were still sluggish. It seemed these two had been enchanted too deeply.

Having passed this obstacle, they finally entered. Once inside, they looked around, but it was pitch black; they still couldn't see anything.

Liu Dashao instinctively reached into his chest for another Fire Talisman. He lit it again, and when he saw the surroundings, he couldn't help but gasp sharply.

Before them was a field of lush, green vegetation. Some looked like sunflowers, some like corn—all sorts of plants of varying shapes.

Fan Debiao also expressed awe: "How can there be such vibrant life in a tomb? It’s impossible.

Without nutrients or sunlight, I can't imagine how these things managed to grow." Su Yougui sneered, "I bet these things grow by eating meat. In a tomb, the only meat they can consume is from corpses." As soon as the words left his mouth, Su Yougui screamed.

The other two quickly turned back but couldn't find him anywhere. "Su Yougui, where are you?

Where are you?" The two of them shouted frantically. But there was no sound at all.

The Fire Talisman in Liu Dashao's hand was about to burn out, so he took out another one. The area lit up brightly.

Suddenly, a rain began to fall from above. The two looked up quickly.

Damn it, Su Yougui’s body was suspended straight in mid-air, his head engulfed by a flower bud resembling a sunflower. Liu Dashao’s heart tightened.

He snatched the shovel from Fan Debiao’s hand and began wildly hacking at the sunflower-like plant that held Su Yougui’s head. White viscous fluid oozed out, pooling on the ground.

The ground was covered in the plant’s white 'blood.' It took a long time to discern the sunflower head, given its stalk was as thick as a tree trunk. Finally, the sunflower head detached, and Su Yougui dropped to the ground with a thud, following it.

Fan Debiao rushed forward and frantically yanked the sunflower away from Su Yougui's head. After exerting Herculean effort, the sunflower only managed to separate after cracking open slightly.

Liu Dashao examined him: "Damn, he's stopped breathing! Fan Debiao, quick, mouth-to-mouth!" Even though Su Yougui’s face was covered in dirty fluid resembling saliva, Fan Debiao didn't care.

He immediately brought his mouth to Su Yougui's and began administering artificial respiration. With every exhale and inhale, Su Yougui's complexion gradually improved; his previously pale face slowly regained some color.

Fan Debiao collapsed onto the ground, exhausted, panting heavily: "Damn it, this kid has terrible bad breath!" Liu Dashao dripped a drop of his own fresh blood into Su Yougui's mouth. Su Yougui's tightly shut eyes slowly cracked open a slit.

He looked at Liu Dashao, then at Fan Debiao, and gave a bitter smile: "You two followed me as well. Hell is better, yes, hell is much better." Who could argue?

In this tomb, fraught with danger at every turn, it truly was preferable to be in hell. Su Yougui was clearly disoriented.

The sunflower venom primarily had corrosive and paralyzing effects, and it was evident that Su Yougui's mind had been temporarily numbed, preventing him from moving forward. They decided to wait there until he woke up before continuing.

Su Yougui mumbled incoherently about Zhang Jiao, the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and the Taiping Jing, leaving the other two utterly confused.
