Cheng Ji walked forward and looked for the exit of the tomb with Hei Xia Zi. Because this tomb was built after he fell asleep, he was not very clear about its construction and could only barely determine the location of the mechanism through Feng Hou Qi Men.

You know, usually he would command the resentful spirits to do this kind of dirty and tiring work. When there were no spirits, he would just use the Fenghou Qimen to smash it down. As long as it was not a load-bearing wall, it would not collapse. As for finding an exit purely based on his tomb-robbing experience, he had never tried it.

Black Blind looked around the tomb wall. He noticed the boy approaching, but he didn't turn back. Instead, he casually reminded him, "That magic array of yours should have a price, right?"

Without waiting for the young man to answer, he continued, "This strange game of yours seems to not follow the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint of all things, and can change time and space at will. What is the price? Lifespan?"

Cheng Ji didn't expect that Hei Xiazi could guess so much just by looking at him, but there was nothing to hide. The boy pondered for a moment and explained, "It's vitality, which can also be understood as each mental force. If used within the normal range, there will not be any major backlash, but excessive use will most likely deplete vitality, and in more serious cases, it will consume lifespan."

Hei Xiazi curled his lips and said, "So this is why you don't usually look for a grave and determine the burial site?"

Cheng Ji walked to the position where he stood side by side with Hei Xia Zi, looked up at the wall that Hei Xia Zi had been staring at for a long time and said, "I guess so. If they can handle it, why should I do this?"

"That's true. But then again, this wall is not simple. There is an anti-theft mezzanine at the back. It seems that there is either a treasure inside, or it is another entrance." Hei Xiazi bent his fingers and tapped lightly on the stone wall in front of him.

"Anti-theft interlayer..." Cheng Ji frowned and muttered.

If you don't use the Fenghou Qimen, it would be extremely difficult to open the stone wall and take out the corrosive liquid in the interlayer.

Hei Xia Zi couldn't help but sigh at the difficulty of it: "My luck is really bad this month. There are two tombs with this thing. Oh, it would be better if that dumb guy was here. Last time I saw him break this thing, he just used his fingers to break it. Oh, I can't learn it."

The young man paused for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that after five years, the first time he heard news about God would be from the mouth of a blind man.

Cheng Ji couldn't help but asked with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Where did you see him? Is he... is he doing well?"

Hei Xia Zi was stunned by the sudden question. It seemed like the first time he saw the boy lose his composure like this. It seemed that this person was a little special to the little bastard.

"It's a tomb from the Han Dynasty. I only met it once. My boss discovered it by accident and wanted to go in and take a look, but he was afraid of death, so he invited a lot of capable people, and this person was one of them."

"But this guy doesn't seem easy to get along with. I didn't see him talk much during the trip. But he and I have a good understanding of each other. He is a powerful character."

After hearing what Hei Xia Zi said, Cheng Ji's attachment that had been suppressed in his heart seemed to be stirred up again.

He seemed to miss him a little and wanted to see him.

The blind man turned his head and looked at the boy's somewhat lonely expression, and said with a smile: "Young Master Cheng, what's with that expression? If you want to know where he is and want to find him, tell the blind man, and the blind man will definitely find him for you. This is the price..."

“……” He talks about money every three sentences, he is worthy of being called Hei Xia Zi.

The young man rolled his eyes and said unhappily, "You should think about how to get out of here first, okay, Mr. Hei."

"Okay, okay, I'll be right there." Hei Xiazi replied with a smile. He then took out a dagger from his pocket, which looked like it was specially made and was much thinner than an ordinary dagger.

When Hei Xia Zi got serious, the smile that was always on his face faded a lot. At first glance, he looked a bit like a master.

With a deft move, the dagger was inserted into the gap in the stone wall. Hei Xia Zi's estimation was very accurate, and the tip of the blade stopped just at the junction of the stone wall and the interlayer. It neither touched the corrosive liquid nor just broke a hole in the stone wall, which was convenient for the subsequent work steps.

I don't know where Hei Xiazi learned this skill, but almost every time he cut, the knife would fall perfectly in the right place. After a while, a stone would be completely separated from the surrounding stones.

Hei Xia Zi took out a folded wire from somewhere and pulled the stone out.

Sure enough, just as Hei Xia Zi had expected, there was indeed an anti-theft layer in the middle, flowing slowly in the cracks of the stone wall.

"Stand back for a moment, let me, a blind man, show you my skills." Hei Xia Zi asked Cheng Ji to move back, then he took out a lighter to burn the stone on the dagger until it was hot, and then threw it directly into the opened gap.

The boiling-hot medium touched the corrosive liquid, activating the originally smoothly flowing corrosive liquid and causing it to splash out. The location most affected happened to be where the two people had just stood.

After the corrosive liquid has run out on the ground, it will flow along the slightly inclined slope of the tomb chamber to the corners of the tomb chamber.

Hei Xiazi retracted his dagger, dusted off his hands, and asked the young man for credit with a smile: "How is it, Master Hei, am I amazing? Is this skill and level worth a 5,000 reduction?"

Cheng Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed at Chen Pi standing beside him, and said: "Hei Ye, don't make the wrong choice. Your boss is there, you should go to him if you want money. I am also a lousy worker, how can you ask me for money? Don't you agree, Hei Ye?"

"…" Stop fooling around with me. Sooner or later, I'll rip off all my fox tails!
