After Zhang Tian smashed the skeleton and crushed the bones with a single kick, he directly stepped on them to pieces.
The Kwantung Army's wickedness was known to all.
This officer, possessing such malevolent energy, had clearly harmed countless people.
Zhang Tian’s sword strike that killed him, denying him reincarnation, was actually letting him off easy.
If he had encountered a truly ruthless individual, they wouldn't have stopped at just tormenting his soul.
Seeing the skull being crushed under a foot, Fatty and Hu Bayi showed expressions of satisfaction.
"Boss, that felt good! He scared Fatty, so he deserved it!"
Fatty gave a thumbs-up.
Zhang Tian ignored Fatty and reached out, summoning the little turtle back.
After eating the rotten flesh, the little turtle seemed to have gained more strength and a stronger corpse aura.
"Kaka."
The little turtle gnawed with its teeth, then wagged its tail and burrowed into Zhang Tian's backpack.
Hu Bayi was stunned.
"Boss, is this thing that easy to raise? I remember you only got it a few weeks ago, right?"
Hu Bayi was now considering getting a corpse beetle of his own.
It was simply too well-behaved.
More so than Da Huang.
And its combat prowess was formidable, making it an essential companion for home visits and tomb raiding.
"I obtained a method for raising it earlier."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Hu Bayi understood.
He didn't ask further.
Yingzi's perception of the corpse beetle also shifted.
"Brother Zhang, your little turtle is amazing."
Yingzi's eyes widened.
Zhang Tian smiled at her.
"Am I not amazing?"
At this, Yingzi's face blushed slightly, and she lowered her head again.
This elicited laughter from everyone.
Soon, the group rested for a while longer.
The next morning, a sharp cry broke the stillness.
It jolted everyone from their sleep. Zhang Tian and Hu Bayi were up in an instant.
They exchanged glances.
"It's Yingzi."
They spoke in unison and rushed towards the source of the sound.
Indeed, beneath a tree hollow, they found Yingzi clutching her leg, her face contorted in pain.
Yingzi was in agony, but she bravely held back her tears.
"Yingzi, are you alright?"
Zhang Tian jumped into the pit and helped the girl up.
"I'm fine, thank you, Brother Zhang. I was just trying to catch some wild rabbits for us to supplement our rations this morning, but I didn't expect to fall here."
Yingzi held her leg, which had a scraped wound.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian took out alcohol and bandages from his backpack and dressed Yingzi's wound.
Yingzi seemed a bit flustered.
At this moment, Hu Bayi looked at the tomb door below and his heart skipped a beat.
"So the tomb door is here!"
Meanwhile, in the judgment room.
【What did I just see? Corpse beetles? And a zombie?】
【We must believe in science! All of this can be explained, it's just rigor mortis, don't panic.】
【Speaking of which, how is such a large corpse beetle so obedient to Zhang Tian?】
【Holy cow, that sword strike was so cool, splitting the officer's body in half, amazing!】
【So satisfying! If it were me, I'd grind those bones to dust!】
【Surely no one doesn't know about the Kwantung Army, right?】
The scene was filled with countless discussions.
The Kwantung Army was directly thrust into the center of everyone's attention.
Chen Xi gritted her teeth.
She harbored intense resentment towards these people as well.
The Kwantung Army was even more detestable than grave robbers.
"Those brutes not only occupied our Dongshan City for years but also stole and destroyed countless cultural relics. Their most famous laboratory was located here!"
"Even if they were ground to ashes, I wouldn't consider it a pity."
Chen Xi spoke, her eyes burning with intensity.
Based on Zhang Tian's actions alone, her opinion of him had shifted.
At least, this grave robber had a patriotic heart.
"Boss, that beauty's gaze towards you has changed!"
Fatty chuckled.
"Get lost, that's Professor Chen's granddaughter."
Zhang Tian said, and Fatty looked understanding.
"Oh, then it's fine. When the truth comes out later, she'll probably beg the boss to forgive her."
Fatty said with a grin. Zhang Tian tapped Fatty's shoulder.
"Be more low-key."
Zhang Tian spoke, and Fatty rolled his eyes.
"Mute, with your good looks, why be low-key? No wonder you don't have a girlfriend. Look at me, my girlfriend will be looking for me in the next reincarnation!"
Fatty boasted proudly.
Zhang Tian instantly lost the desire to speak.
He wished he hadn't bothered with this guy.
A smile played on Zhang Tian's lips.
This was just a small appetizer. When these people saw the Kwantung Army's fortress, they might become even angrier.
Zhang Tian had discovered other things within the Kwantung Army's fortress as well.
After all, what happened then was too detestable.
The scene continued.
Fatty was also awakened by Yingzi's cry.
He grabbed his bag and rushed over.
"Damn, Fatty didn't have nightmares tonight, that's great."
Fatty, full of energy, murmured contentedly.
Because Wang Fei had absorbed too much of the officer's yin energy.
Fatty had naturally escaped the fate of being drained.
Arriving at the tree hollow, Fatty looked at the tomb door, a smile on his face.
"Boss, found the tomb door?"
"Let's go, Fatty takes the lead!"
Fatty said, striding forward energetically.
"You guy, aren't you scared anymore?"
Zhang Tian slowly asked.
"Tsk, what kind of person is Fatty? A reincarnated Star of Gathering! I'm worth several bulls!"
Giving a thumbs-up, Fatty walked ahead, gripping the broken sword.
His hand was still trembling.
Clearly, he was still quite scared.
The group walked through the passage and entered a large tomb chamber.
Many coffins were arranged within the chamber.
Most of these coffins were ordinary, placed haphazardly.
Some were even disorganized.
Zhang Tian knew that there were two child attendants buried here, but those two little fellows hadn't appeared yet.
So Zhang Tian wasn't in a hurry.
Looking at the severely damaged pottery and jars on the ground, Fatty's face flushed with anger.
"A bunch of scoundrels! Even after leaving, they trashed the tomb."
Fatty cursed.
Hu Bayi also felt a pang of regret.
"Alas, Boss, this tomb appears to have been ransacked by the people of Fuji Country. There probably isn't anything good left."
Hu Bayi sighed.
Zhang Tian, however, waved his hand slightly.
"Don't rush. Given how large Pengyue Gully is, do you think there's only one tomb?"
At this, Hu Bayi's eyes lit up, and he took out his compass.
"Boss, let me calculate first."
Saying this, Hu Bayi began to use the Dragon Seeking Technique and the tomb-exploring skills of the strategist to pinpoint the burial location.
Fatty, meanwhile, approached a red coffin.
"Hey! Boss, look quickly, this coffin seems intact, and it's red, it must be a significant one!"
Fatty exclaimed excitedly.
Looking at the blood-red coffin before him, Zhang Tian knew this was likely the one belonging to Hong Hou.
That thing was very powerful; in the end, it would have been difficult to deal with without collapsing the tomb.
If he remembered correctly, there should be two jade pendants inside.
They were the king's commendations for military achievements back then.
Zhang Tian didn't care much about this.
However, there might be cultivation techniques from that general inside, which piqued Zhang Tian's curiosity.
It would be even better if there were sword techniques or elixirs.
"Boss, shall we open the coffin?"
Fatty called out.
"Boss, this coffin is a great ill omen. The chance of a zombie is very high."
Hu Bayi's cultivation had greatly increased, and he could tell at a glance.
Zhang Tian nodded, but he was very interested in what was inside. After a moment's thought, Zhang Tian said:
"How about this, let's first look for a secret passage around here and open that first. If it doesn't work out, we'll escape through the secret passage."
Zhang Tian said, and Hu Bayi nodded. Ever since he started cultivating,
Hu Bayi understood that even with dangers, some coffins still needed to be opened.
Not long after, Hu Bayi stood before a section of wall, while Fatty used the weapon of General Hong Hou to smash a large hole in the wall.
Watching the three move with practiced ease,
Yingzi was dumbfounded.
My goodness, this is a professional grave-robbing crew, isn't it!
