The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human?!

Doctor Nile also nodded.

As a Priest of Ra, he often has to preside over burial rituals. Although the shape of the tomb is completely different, the feeling is the same.

"I have a feeling this task has hidden motives."

Liu Zheng muttered thoughtfully.

The Mountain Core of this mountain is likely inside the tomb. If they want to blow up the Mountain Core, the tomb will certainly be blown up along with it.

And if they explode the mountain directly, such a large amount would also blow up the tomb effortlessly.

Therefore, what the real task client wants to blow up could very well be this tomb.

"Doctor, is there any way to get in touch with the people inside the tomb?"

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and asked.

Since the task is to blow up the mountain, it's best to avoid complicating things.

Let the tomb's owner cooperate with them to blow up the Mountain Core, and they could relocate the tomb to another mountain.

Or if the tomb owner has other requests, they could discuss them further.

Given even the steps outside are so sturdy, the tomb owner's strength should not be underestimated. It's best to avoid a fight if possible.

"Let me try."

Doctor Nile dipped his fingers in the black ash on his body, drawing a mysterious symbol on the bluestone.

The symbol's upper part was a circular loop like a cord, while the lower part was a "T".

This is the "Ankh" symbol, also known as Anubis's staff.

Anubis is a Death God in the Nile River Pantheon, also the guardian of the dead and tombs, guiding souls to the afterlife.

Compared to the gloomy and terrifying Underworld God Osiris, Anubis is more trusted and revered by the dead, hence its authority can transcend regions and ethnic groups.

"O dead resting in the tomb, I mean no harm to disturb your peace. But circumstances compel me to call upon you, seeking peace between the living and the dead. In the name of 'Those upon his mountain', please respond to my call."

After reciting the prayer, Doctor Nile thrust a Magic Wand into the circle's center.

A shadow of a wolf-headed figure appeared behind him, clutching a staff in left hand and holding the life circle in right hand, casting a serene and compassionate gaze towards the depths of the tomb.

However, after a few minutes, Doctor Nile received no response.

"The tomb's owner refuses to communicate."

He shook his head and said.

"Could it be that there's no one inside or they didn't hear?"

"No chance, that's what Anubis told me."

Doctor Nile replied.

"Alright."

Liu Zheng shrugged.

Mages are noble; not only are they all-in-one attackers and defenders, they also have a plethora of support means.

When he cosplayed as Niu Ma back then, he didn't have so many Skills.

"Ah Bao, give it a try."

Liu Zheng said to the Panda.

"Who said I'd know how to do that?"

The Panda rolled its eyes.

"How can a Taoist not know how to summon and question the spirits?"

"Who said I was a Taoist? Taoism and Mystical Sect are not the same. Our Mixed Pill Sect is the legacy of ancient Qi practitioners. Those Hundred Skills of Cultivation are just personal hobbies, can learn or not."

It explained.

"Don't understand, just say whether you can or not?"

Liu Zheng didn't care about these.

"Pay up."

The Panda extended a paw.

He placed a stack of bills on it.

"I really can."

The Panda happily accepted the bills, then took out a Yellow Talisman.

"Spiritual connection of heaven and earth, all laws united, I invoke the order of the Mao Mountain Ancestor, requesting the appearance of the Three Mao True Lords. With the talisman as proof, with incense as guide, let the spiritual connection be established, swiftly reveal the true form. Expedite as per the law."

After reciting the Magic Spell, the Yellow Talisman transformed into a wisp of blue smoke, drifting into the tomb.

"A Mixed Pill Sect follower, invoking Mao Mountain Ancestor's decree, will it even work?"

Liu Zheng asked curiously.

"It's all a Mystical Sect tradition, usually they'll give face, afterwards just send some incense offerings to the Mao Mountain Ancestors."

The Panda said.

The talisman smoke drifted into the tomb, like a bun thrown to a dog, never to return.

"Loser, they don't want to interact with you."

The Panda gloated.

"You refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit, don't blame me then. Yaksha, go."

Liu Zheng proceeded to call reinforcements.

"My grasp of the Death Technique is limited."

The Yaksha shook its head.

"No one's asking you to summon souls, I'm asking you to dismantle this tomb."

He said coldly.

"As you wish. Ultimate Technique·Secret Technique Splitting!"

The Yaksha raised the Magic Wand, decomposing light shot out, aiming under the bluestone steps.

Facing the decomposition light which disintegrates everything at the particle level, the defensive force attached to the bluestone steps finally failed, evaporating piece by piece.

However, just as the decomposition light was about to hit the tomb, a translucent light screen appeared out of thin air, blocking the light.

The light screen rippled like water, while the decomposition light was refracted into countless rays, sweeping around.

Ordinary dirt was even less resistant facing the decomposition light, cleared away in a large swathe in an instant, revealing the tomb's appearance completely.

Under the bluestone steps was a pagoda-style tomb gate.

The roof above the tomb gate was carved with dragons and phoenixes, with dragon-headed fish-bodied ridges on both ends.

The tomb gate itself was supported by four stone pillars, with Azure Dragon carved on the left and White Tiger on the right.

Standing before the tomb gate were two clay figurine children, a man and a woman, the Golden Child on the left holding a duster, while the Jade Maiden on the right holding a Ruyi.

At this moment, the white jade Ruyi in the Jade Maiden's hand was emitting a gentle glow, clearly the light screen was produced by it.

"Who dares to disturb my master's peace so boldly?"

The Jade Maiden's mouth remained closed, yet the voice came from within her, sounding eerie and ghostly.

"Excuse us, Immortal Children, we meant no deliberate disturbance. We were tasked to blow up this mountain, then discovered this tomb, fearing you'd be caught in the explosion, thus wanted to relocate you."

"But since the previous two attempts at communication received no response, we had to resort to this measure, forcing you to appear."

Liu Zheng bowed, politely but firmly.

"You should instantly kill yourselves to express contrition. Otherwise, when we make a move, your souls will scatter, leaving no bones."

The Golden Child spoke too.

"Could we negotiate, I'll sever four limbs myself, and let this matter drop."

Considering he was indeed somewhat unreasonable, he bargained.

"Refusing to offer death as apology, you shall then face eternal ruin."

The Golden Child ignored him, and immediately waved the duster.

Countless golden rays burst from the duster's tail, all shooting towards everyone.

"So it turns out they were just automatons, wasted my breath."

Liu Zheng mused inwardly, then swiftly stepped forward to shield Niu Daji.

And everyone, already prepared, each employed their own defense measures.

"The Dark Sect·Arnezipar's Landing Mirror!"

The Yaksha chanted a spell, an opulent landing mirror appeared in front of her, reflecting all the golden rays back.

"Constant Star Gravity!"

The sun disc above Doctor Nile's head spun around, absorbing all the golden rays into the disc.

"Yin-Yang Two Qi Array, commence!"

The Panda spat out the Lesser Yang Radiance Flag and Lesser Yin Gui Water Flag, enveloping itself.

When the golden rays hit the Yin-Yang energy, they floated like oil on water, unable to penetrate at all.

As for Bai San and Lao Si, Liu Zheng had made them hide far away from the start.

"Audacious rogue, still dare to resist!"

Seeing the attack failed, the Golden Child flew into a rage.

"Green Dragon Star Lord, White Tiger Star Lord, heed my command, subdue the demons!"

Golden Child pointed a finger, and the Azure Dragon and White Tiger on the stone pillars immediately came to life, pouncing towards everyone.

"Ah Bao, go!"

Liu Zheng shouted.

This rendered scene was exactly the Panda's field of expertise.

"Promised as a bodyguard, and yet every task falls to me. I'm a Panda, not Niu Ma."

The Panda complained.

"Double the yogurt."

"Two mere Artifact Spirits dare claim to be Star Lords? Watch how I deal with you!"

The Panda's bear form shook, instantly stepping forward.

"Primordial Thunder Palm!"

It raised its two bear palms, one black and one white in the palm center, and slapped them towards the Azure Dragon and White Tiger.

"Roar!"

The Azure Dragon opened its mouth, spitting out a dazzling Dragon Ball, hitting the palm center, sparking tall.

"Snarl!"

The White Tiger raised its forepaw, its claw tips turning crimson gold, also struck the palm center, sparking high again.
