When the stones on the stone wall were moved down one by one, the appearance behind the stone wall was revealed to everyone.

Rather than saying this is a tomb passage leading to somewhere else, it is more like a dusty laboratory entrance. The props placed in front of the stone platform and hanging on the tomb wall are all experimental props from thousands of years ago. What's more, in a crystal container nearby, there is a boy with a nine-tailed fox tattoo on his back!

The boy's lower body was cut off, leaving only his naked upper body. His long black hair was tied with a rope and hung at the top of the container. The preservative solution in the container had turned faintly reddish-brown under the baptism of time.

While everyone was marveling at the handsome face of the boy in the container and the solution that kept the corpse from decaying for a thousand years, Cheng Ji's originally smiling expression had long disappeared without a trace.

Cheng Ji stared blankly at the face of the half-dead boy hanging in the container.

Of course he recognized him. Even across a thousand years, he could recognize the boy's identity at a glance.

He was a little friend of the tribe who had regarded him as a hero since childhood and swore to protect him...

Due to time constraints, he had not had time to check the surroundings after solving the strange trap he had set up. He did not expect that the laboratory where he had been imprisoned and used for longevity experiments was sealed here. He also did not expect to meet an old friend in this way.

It was not enough to use him for experiments, their tribesmen had to be captured as well. Looking at the thick bloodstains on the stone walls and the blood-stained iron chains on the ground around the laboratory, the boy felt almost unable to breathe due to the oppressive feeling.

Because of Changsheng, their family was nearly wiped out.

Because of immortality, the god has to guard the broken bronze door and also have to bear the gift from heaven that immortality brings him.

Because of immortality, these people set up chess games lasting thousands of years or centuries, capturing those who are already on the brink of death and are struggling to move forward, in order to satisfy their greedy dream of immortality.

Is immortality really that good?

Chen, the guy walking in front, had no idea what Cheng Ji was thinking. Until now, they were still immersed in the joy of this shocking discovery.

"This incorrupt male corpse and the coffin fluid should be able to fetch a good price." A clerk exclaimed in amazement.

The person next to him said, "Isn't the buyer a pervert? Why would he collect a zongzi?"

The waiter explained impatiently: "There are always rich bosses who have such perverted hobbies. Look at this face, it is still so fresh after thousands of years, hehe..."

Only Hei Xia Zi, who was standing next to Cheng Ji, felt the boy's depressed mood. The moment he saw the nine-tailed fox tattoo, Hei Xia Zi kept paying attention to the boy's expression. Sure enough, he guessed correctly that the boy knew the boy in the container.

"Oh... don't look at it." Hei Xia Zi put the sunglasses that the boy had thrown back to him when he got out of the tomb back on the boy's face, and manually turned the boy over so that his back was facing everything in the laboratory.

"Why are you making yourself unhappy? The dead are gone. What they want to see is that you are alive and well."

Cheng Ji did not reject Hei Xia Zi's kindness, but he did not speak again.

Hei Xiazi smiled and said to the guys in front who were discussing it with great interest: "I don't know whether the rich people would collect this or not, but I know that if you take this with you, I guarantee that you will not get out alive."

The threatening words of Hei Xia Zi instantly silenced the people who were discussing heatedly. They were just small minions who followed Chen Siye to make money. Now the two masters who were in the limelight, one turned his back, and the other said that if they were taken, they would die. Under such circumstances, who would dare to covet this money? If they caused the operation to go wrong, I am afraid that several lives would not be enough to pay for it.

Seeing that everyone present had been frightened and behaved a lot, Hei Xiazi nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, it's important to get out. There is a mechanism outside that controls this underground palace. If you delay us, I won't care whether you live or die."

As he spoke, he pulled Cheng Ji towards the stone door on the side of the laboratory.

This stone door should be the place where they used to enter and exit the laboratory. It was not locked by any mechanism, but only had a simple gravity mechanism. However, Hei Xia Zi looked at it for a long time and had no idea how to open it.

Cheng Ji, who had recovered from his shock, squatted down and gently stroked the stone slab of the gravity mechanism with his hand. He bent up and tapped it lightly, then stood up and patted the dust off his hands. He said with certainty, "This is not a simple gravity mechanism. It requires ten people to stand at designated positions on this stone slab, leaving two designated positions vacant. Only in this way will the stone slab descend to the designated exit."

The guy who originally proposed to sell the body of the boy with the nine-tail tattoo counted the people in the team and shouted in fear: "But, Master Cheng, we have eleven people now, what should we do?"

Cheng Ji took out the dagger he carried with him and played with it, then replied nonchalantly, "Why not just let one of them stay here forever? It's such a simple thing."

The guy broke out in a cold sweat on his back because of Cheng Ji's attitude. He turned around and wanted to escape, but the dagger thrown by the boy pierced his throat as soon as he took the first step. He died before he could even say a word.

Hei Xiazi raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Master Cheng, are you seeking revenge for personal gain?"

Upon hearing this, Cheng Ji rolled his eyes at him, walked forward, pulled out the dagger from the waiter's throat, and cut open the clothes on his back.

A phoenix tattoo suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Chen Pi frowned as he looked at the tattoo that seemed to have some connection with the tattoo on the boy's back in the container and said, "This guy sneaked into the team. The tattoo on him and the one on Zongzi over there..."

Cheng Ji understood what Chen Pi wanted to say, and shook his head with a sneer: "Is this thing of his worthy of being compared with the Nine-tailed Tatoo? It's just a thief's self-consolation. Even the totem was copied from someone else."
