Chapter 196: Tragic Team of Three

While harvesting a large sum of wealth, Lu Xiaoran did not forget to repair the array formations in every ancient tomb.

In this way, it would be interesting if anyone wanted to enter again.

However, after Lu Xiaoran entered the ancient tomb, he was instantly dumbfounded.

“Brother, aren’t you living too poorly? As a Emperor Realm expert, you only have a few hundred mid-grade spirit stones, a Heaven Realm weapon, and a low-grade Heaven Realm bronze bottle with a spatial attribute. Is that all? The King Realm expert’s tomb I robbed this morning is even more valuable than your wealth.”

Lu Xiaoran almost lost control of himself and wanted to leave behind something to the other party as burial items.

However, in the end, he still endured it.

After all, the things he owned were things he had worked hard to dig out from other people’s graves.

“Sigh! Seeing how pitiful you are, I won’t snatch your things.”

Lu Xiaoran shook his head and was about to leave when he suddenly felt somewhat peeved.

“I won’t take your things. Lend me this bottle.”

Men were naturally obsessed with holes. A true man had to find a hole to pee in. Even if he did not, he had to make a hole in the ground. This was how true men peed.

After peeing, Lu Xiaoran trembled and immediately flashed away to find the next ancient tomb.

“I’m a tomb raider and I’m very good at tomb robbing. After robbing his mom’s tomb, I robbed his dad’s tomb, I even cleaned out his ancestral grave…”

…

As Lu Xiaoran sang, his voice soon disappeared. Before long, three lights fell on the ancient tomb like meteors.

“It’s here. According to the Acacia Faction’s information, it’s very likely that this place is the grave of a Emperor Realm expert.”

The three of them stabilized their figures and revealed their expressions. They were Nalan Hongyu, Fang Aotian, and Li Liushui.

Fang Aotian’s expression was not good and was somewhat gloomy.

“Nalan Hongyu, I hope that this time, your information won’t be wrong again.”

Nalan Hongyu was somewhat embarrassed.

In fact, this was not her fault. The information of the Acacia Faction was basically correct. Its accuracy was very high. Other than a few empty tombs that had been robbed before, the rest were all ancient tombs that have never been visited. However, be it the array formation or the mechanisms of the tombs they visited, they were all shockingly powerful.

Nalan Hongyu really did not expect this. After all, other than the tomb of a top-notch expert, whose tomb would have so many powerful array formations?

Moreover, those ancient tombs were clearly very well built. The space underground was very large. Some of the tombs were even ancient tombs that were established by opening new dimensional spaces.

These ancient tombs were definitely genuine. She dared to guarantee with her life.

However, for some reason, the ancient tombs they had encountered were almost all empty. Up until now, they had only found two or three genuine ancient King Realm tombs and an Emperor Realm tomb that was more than 6,000 years old.

The items inside were not even as valuable as the items in Li Liushui and Fang Aotian’s hands.

The most valuable items were two low-grade Martial Monarch Realm weapons and a low-grade Martial Monarch Realm Blood Pill.

This was simply about to anger Fang Aotian to death. It also made Nalan Hongyu furious.

She had also thought that someone might have done something to the ancient tomb, but the array formations of the ancient tombs were all intact.

Therefore, strictly speaking, it was also impossible for anyone to enter.

After taking a deep breath, Nalan Hongyu shook off the displeasure in her mind and said with a solemn expression,

“Alright, I don’t want this to happen either. How the hell am I supposed to know what’s going on? Let’s open this tomb first.”

Although Fang Aotian was furious, he had no choice. With a cold snort, he prepared to undo the array formation on the ancient tomb.

However, at this moment, Li Liushui behind him said coldly,

“Get out of the way!”

Fang Aotian was just about to turn around and retort when he felt an extremely powerful saber beam quickly slash down from behind.

“Damn it!”

He immediately dodged. The saber beam almost brushed past the back of his head before falling straight to the ground.

Boom!

With a shocking explosion, the ancient tomb was slashed open by this saber beam.

“You lunatic, you almost killed me!”

Fang Aotian clenched his fists tightly, killing intent jumping in his eyes.

Li Liushui did not even look at him. He retracted his long saber and directly fell.

“If you have the time, why don’t you think about how to increase your strength?”

“You!”

Fang Aotian gritted his teeth.

“Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

Nalan Hongyu stretched out her jade hand and caressed his back.

“Alright, calm down. We’re all on the same side now. Don’t get into an internal conflict. Otherwise, the ones who will be injured will only be us.”

Perhaps because of these words or because of Nalan Hongyu’s massage, Fang Aotian’s anger was gradually suppressed.

He let out a shaky breath and reached out to grab Nalan Hongyu’s small hand. Sensing the gentleness on it, he smiled indifferently.

“Alright, I’ll let him off for your sake.”

Nalan Hongyu did not struggle. To her, what was the big deal of being taken advantage of?

Her ultimate goal was to become a peerless female expert.

At that time, she could get whatever man she wanted.

Before this, she did not mind sacrificing herself.

It was not like she would lose face or flesh. Everyone was willing and complemented each other. What was wrong with that?

After all, everyone was happy.

“Alright, I’m satisfied that you think this way. You should go down quickly. Let’s see if there’s anything good.”

“Alright.”

Fang Aotian immediately landed.

Nalan Hongyu could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

The hot shots were all arrogant and looked down on everyone else.

She could not control these two fellows at all. She could only persuade them nicely and slowly coax them.

Before killing Lu Xiaoran and seizing his luck, he had to endure.

However, when she arrived at the ancient tomb and saw the few items on the ground, her mood changed again in the blink of an eye.

“Damn it, another poor tomb! Could it be that these ancient experts are all beggars?”

Li Liushui’s expression was also not good.

“Perhaps it’s time for us to stop leveling up this way.”

He did not doubt the so-called ‘hot shots’ theory that Nalan Hongyu had mentioned. However, he kept feeling that something was wrong.

Although he could not tell what was wrong, he still felt that if this continued, they would only waste more time.

At this moment, Fang Aotian picked up the Heaven Realm weapon and the other spirit stones and threw them into his Ancient Bronze Hall.

In the past, he would not even take a second look at these things.

However, now, he was a starving camel. Therefore, he did not want to waste even a mosquito-sized piece of meat.

Li Liushui did not even look at these things.

He was different from Fang Aotian.

He relied on the system.

The system would give him good things when he did missions, unlike Fang Aotian who still needed to find treasures himself.

The mission he accepted this time was to find and open 60 ancient tombs. This was the last one. He had already obtained a reward and a top-grade Martial Monarch Realm saber.

From this point of view, Fang Aotian was not even qualified to carry his shoes.

“Eh, there’s a low-grade Heaven Realm bottle here.”

Just as Nalan Hongyu was rather regretful and prepared to leave, Fang Aotian discovered a bronze bottle in the corner again.

Although a low-grade Heaven Realm item was not good, it was not bad.

He picked up the bronze bottle and swept his divine sense over it.

“There’s water inside, and it’s hot!”

Nalan Hongyu’s eyes lit up.

“This ancient tomb should be at least 7,000 years old. After such a long time, I can’t believe that there’s actually still warmth inside. There must be something good inside.”

At this moment, she was almost moved to tears.

Finally, she encountered one of the famous scenes of the hot shots.

In a place where others could not find good things, a hot shot could easily find a top-grade treasure!

Although he did not know what was in this bottle, it was definitely good considering that it was contained in a low-grade Heaven Realm bottle.

Moreover, this thing could still maintain its temperature after thousands of years. Just based on this fact alone, the thing inside was definitely not ordinary.

“Perhaps it’s a liquid that contains a special energy. After drinking it, it can increase my cultivation or help me wash my marrow and improve my talent.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Aotian directly began to blow at the mouth of the bottle.

If it were in the past, he would definitely not be so tasteless. He would not make himself look like a hungry wolf that had never seen the world.

However, now that he knew that Li Liushui was stronger than him, he couldn’t care less.

What dignity? Those were all useless. Only by increasing his strength would he be able to get what he wanted.

Moreover, there was another thing. They were all together. If he did not drink, or if he drank too little, the others would. At that time, his benefits would be reduced.

This was too bad.

Moreover, if Li Liushui or Nalan Hongyu wanted to drink more, he would be helpless.

This was because their cultivation levels were both stronger than his.

Because of this, Fang Aotian had no choice but to take the other party by surprise and drink quickly.

“Gulp! Gulp! Gulp! Burp!”

After drinking more than half a bottle in one go, he burped.

Nalan Hongyu said with anticipation,

“How is it? Do you have any special feelings? Do you feel that the meridians in your body are hot? Or do you feel that your dantian is filled with strength?”

Fang Aotian could not help but frown, his expression somewhat strange.

“It tastes… a little, but I feel that my stomach is the hottest. It feels like it’s surging and I want to vomit it out.”

“This is very normal. Because the medicinal liquid contained in some ancient spirit liquid is too dense, it’s impossible for it to be melted and absorbed into your meridians. It will take a few days or even more than ten days of cultivation to completely refine it.”

“Is that so?”
