1169: C1169 The Dried Corpses of the Royal Family

C1169 The Dried Corpses of the Royal Family

If a few archaeologists were here right now, it would definitely be a magnificent feat for the Ancient World.

There had probably never been a mausoleum where people from different dynasties had appeared at the same time.

However, the more it was like this, the more nervous Yang Xuan became.

There was no record of such a huge underground city in history. It could be seen that those who could find this place were no ordinary people.

They might be the influential figures of their era, and they also had extraordinary cultivation base and ability to rob tombs.

However, they all died miserably here in the end. This was enough to show that the dangers hidden in this mysterious underground city were beyond expectations.

"Why don't we search them and see what they can do? These grave robbers must have come prepared. They might have something that can help us."

The red sparrow said.

"Okay, let's do that."

Yang Xuan nodded and gave the red sparrow a praising look.

The biggest feature of the red sparrow was that it had a big nerve. No matter what kind of environment it was in, she could always relax and not think too much.

Yang Xuan's brain was also very useful, but because he had too many concerns and his nerves were too tight, it was inevitable that he would overlook a lot of things.

And the red sparrow just made up for this flaw.

What she said made a lot of sense. These corpses of grave robbers from different eras were able to find this place and merge here. This meant that their abilities were not ordinary. They were definitely not ordinary thieves.

Therefore, they must have made sufficient preparations before coming here. They must have something that the person carrying on them could use.

The two of them bent down and began to carefully search the corpses of the Qing Dynasty.

"Look, there's a gold medal here!"

The red sparrow immediately found a golden plate the size of a palm from a corpse.

Yang Xuan took it and looked at it. The medal was exquisitely made. It was made of pure gold, with delicate patterns carved on it.

Two lifelike five-clawed golden dragons were carved on both sides of the token, and the words "Internal Affairs Special Guard" were carved in the middle of the token.

"These people are from the Imperial Family!"

Yang Xuan said in a deep voice.

"Ah? Does the Imperial Family also know how to rob tombs?"

The Red Sparrow asked in puzzlement.

Yang Xuan frowned and said, "In the Qing Dynasty, there is a very special organization called the Internal Affairs Department's special guards."

"Although it is one word different from the Internal Affairs Department's guards, the nature of the two are worlds apart."

"The Internal Affairs Department's guards mainly protect the safety of the Imperial Family, which is equivalent to the Imperial Family's guards."

"And the special guards of the Imperial Household are an organization secretly established by the royal family"

"This organization's responsibility is to carry out all kinds of secret missions, and their identities must be of the Royal Family's bloodline"

"Every Internal Affairs Special Guard is extremely selective, and then undergo extremely strict training"

"In other words, the imperial family's internal guards are equivalent to the sharpest trump card in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, they are the elites of the elites"

"Many of the less presentable missions are carried out by them. I didn't expect to see the traces of the Internal Affairs Special Guards here, which means that their actions were ordered by the royal family!"

Red Sparrow was so surprised that his mouth was wide open. "Ah? It's so ridiculous. Could it be that the Qing Dynasty's royal family also wants to rely on tomb raiding to earn money?"

"That's not to the extent of it."

Yang Xuan said, "The imperial family definitely doesn't lack money and all kinds of treasures. Furthermore, tomb robbing is a very shameful and shameful thing to them."

"However, they still have to send the Internal Affairs Special Guards here, which means that there is something very special here."

"Something that can attract the attention of the royal family is definitely not an ordinary item like gold, silver, and jewelry."

After hearing this, the Red Sparrow asked in puzzlement, "What kind of thing can even be obtained by the royal family after spending so much effort?"

Yang Xuan frowned and said, "Continue searching and see what else they have on them."

The two of them continued to search the bodies of the Qing Dynasty's dried corpses.

These few dried corpses were indeed worthy of being from the Imperial Household Special Guards. They found a fire piston that could still be used even now on them, as well as a few sharp daggers forged from special materials.

Something like a gold touching talisman made from pangolin and a rope woven from special materials were even more indispensable. There were even some medical supplies.

Yang Xuan asked Red Sparrow to keep all these things, because he didn't know how long they would be staying here, what kind of things they would encounter, and whether they would be able to leave this place alive.

Therefore, he tried his best to bring whatever he could use.

"There's a box here, but I don't know how to open it."

The Red Sparrow found a box about the size of a book from one of the dried corpses.

The box was warm and cold, dark purple in color. No one knew what material it was made of, and there were no locks or hidden buttons to open the box.

"This is the Eight Treasures Box."

Yang Xuan said, "It's a box specially used by the royal family to store important items. There are very precise and complicated mechanisms hidden in this box."

"Each box has a different way of opening it. Only the owner of the box knows how to open it. Even the craftsmen who make the boxes cannot open it."

After hearing this, Red Sparrow said happily, "Doesn't that mean that this box must be a very precious treasure?"

"Looks like our luck today is pretty good. If even the royal family thinks of it as a treasure, then it must be very precious."

After hearing this, Yang Xuan said gloomily, "Didn't you hear the second half of my words? Only his owner can open this Eight Treasures Box."

Red Sparrow rubbed her hands together and said, "That's easy. I don't care what mechanism he uses. I can just use my inner energy to force it open. If I can't do it, then you're still here."

Hehe -

Just as the two of them were talking, the crying baby suddenly let out a creepy sneer.

Only then did the two of them come back to their senses. They immediately felt an extremely dangerous aura approaching them.

"Put the thing away first. We'll talk after we pass this stage."

Yang Xuan let out a long breath. Then, the two of them continued to carefully walk towards the direction where the strange sound came from.

Along the way, they encountered many dried corpses one after another. These dried corpses came from different dynasties. It seemed that there was indeed something extraordinary in this underground city. That was why it kept attracting the experts of various dynasties to come and search for treasures.

However, without exception, it seemed like none of these people succeeded. All of them died in the hands of this unknown monster that was crying like a human baby!1

Moreover, the further ahead they went, the more densely packed the small holes on the walls on both sides of the wall, even the ground.

It was like a dense hornet's nest, causing people's scalps to go numb.
