The opening of the tomb door was enough to shock everyone.
Upon seeing that the person standing behind the door was Boss Zhou, even Lin Zitong couldn't help but exclaim.
Considering that Lin Zitong never used coarse language, it was evident how much of a surprise Boss Zhou's appearance was to her.
Long Feicheng, still suspended in mid-air, immediately shouted upon seeing Boss Zhou:
"Old Zhou, help me, Old Zhou! It's so good to see you, we were so worried when you suddenly disappeared!"
Yan Shouyi was speechless. Everyone present knew that Long Feicheng disliked Boss Zhou and had been the most vocal in his criticism of him. His current words were unbelievable, even to ghosts.
Boss Zhou ignored Long Feicheng completely and walked directly into the terracotta warrior chamber.
It was then that everyone saw that Boss Zhou was holding a dark submachine gun in his hand!
He actually brought a gun!
Guns were useless against ghosts but highly effective against living creatures like giant otters.
It turned out that Boss Zhou had indeed returned through the hole dug by the giant otters and had mowed down all of them with his submachine gun.
While Yan Shouyi understood how Boss Zhou reappeared outside the tomb, one thing still puzzled him.
It was why Boss Zhou had done all this.
He could have eliminated the otters from the start!
Why did he have to wait until everyone activated the mechanism in the burial pit and opened the tomb door leading to the terracotta warrior chamber before returning?
Before Yan Shouyi could figure it out, Boss Zhou turned the muzzle of the gun towards Yan Shouyi and the others!
Yan Shouyi's expression changed, and he quickly pulled Long Feicheng up, while Lin Zitong promptly opened her Hong Shen Umbrella.
Bullets rained down on the Hong Shen Umbrella, but thankfully, it was no ordinary item, and ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate it.
Even so, Yan Shouyi and the others, standing behind the Hong Shen Umbrella, felt the intense thrill as they saw the constant flashes from outside and heard the bullets pinging against the umbrella.
After emptying a magazine, Boss Zhou seemed to have run out of ammunition. He directly dropped the submachine gun and sneered at Yan Shouyi and the others:
"You can just stay here and enjoy your last moments. Once I revive King Jian, I'll come back to kill you!"
Yan Shouyi and the others were greatly shocked.
Boss Zhou's goal was to revive King Jian?!
Why?!
Long Feicheng retorted defiantly, "With your pathetic appearance, you think you can revive King Jian? Without us, you couldn't even enter the main tomb chamber! Those terracotta warriors will kill you!"
Strangely, the terracotta warriors did not attack Boss Zhou.
After a brief silence, Boss Zhou burst into laughter.
"You think I know King Jian's tomb so well for no reason? You think these terracotta warriors don't attack me for no reason? You think I went through the trouble of entering through the main entrance for nothing? Because – I am King Jian! Hahahaha!"
"The thirteen tomb guardian snake spirits were released by King Jian to absorb energy for him. To revive King Jian, all one needs to do is retrieve the snake gallbladders and place them on the mechanism at the tomb door. The power absorbed by the snake spirits over the years will then flow entirely into King Jian's body!"
"The reason I asked for your help earlier was merely to ensure safe entry into King Jian's tomb. Now that I'm inside, why would I need you anymore?! Hahahaha! All of you die!!!"
Long Feicheng was completely bewildered, listening to him. "This guy is Boss Zhou one moment and then says he's King Jian. Could he have lost his mind?"
The Ma siblings were also unable to comprehend.
However, Yan Shouyi suddenly understood everything.
According to what the General had said, the nobles of the Qing Jiang Kingdom had all cultivated the Wuji Reincarnation, but because of the curse placed by the General and the Princess, their reincarnated souls could only awaken their memories at the moment of death.
If King Jian was the reincarnation of Jiang Wusheng, or Jiang Wusheng himself, then this Boss Zhou was likely King Jian's reincarnation!
Before, Boss Zhou was simply doing business in Hong Kong, wealthy and carefree. But one day, he contracted a terminal illness, with only a short time left to live. This also led to him awakening his past life memories!
To survive, Boss Zhou had to gather troops and manpower according to his memories and come to this remote Chenjia Village!
He lied about wanting the Ganoderma lucidum, but in reality, he wanted to revive King Jian, to revive Jiang Wusheng!!
However, the current Boss Zhou was still just an ordinary person. But once he revived King Jian, he would likely inherit all the power of King Jian and Jiang Wusheng!
At that time...
It wouldn't just be the people present who would die, but also the nearby villagers, and it might even affect the entire Zhi City!
"Damn it... I've been tricked by this guy!" Yan Shouyi was filled with regret.
Boss Zhou's entry into the burial pit might have been an accident, but his disappearance was certainly not aimless. He must have witnessed Lin Zitong unlocking the snake lock and guessed that Lin Zitong was the reincarnation of the Princess of the Fish Shu Kingdom.
Therefore, after opening the tomb door, he immediately attacked Lin Zitong with his remaining bullets, intending to exact revenge!
At this moment, Yan Shouyi looked at Boss Zhou again, and his eyes indeed held venom as he looked at Lin Zitong.
"Enjoy your last moments of death here!"
Boss Zhou laughed heartily, activated the mechanism with practiced ease, and opened the door to the main tomb chamber.
As he walked in, the door boomed shut again!
Everyone outside was filled with anxiety.
"You big idiot, that Boss Zhou is..." Lin Zitong said anxiously.
"I already know," Yan Shouyi interrupted, "so our time is even more pressing now. We must quickly find a way to stop Boss Zhou before Jiang Wusheng is revived!"
Long Feicheng said, "Don't we have Grandma protecting us? Can't we just jump down?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy thudding sound suddenly came from the main tomb chamber. The terracotta warriors, who had previously shown no interest in Yan Shouyi and the others, suddenly converged towards Yan Shouyi as if driven mad.
They even disregarded the Ma siblings and the last remaining extraordinary individual!
"What's going on?!" Long Feicheng exclaimed in anger.
Yan Shouyi said solemnly, "Perhaps Grandma's soul is fighting with Boss Zhou, stalling for time, so she can't spare attention to look after us."
"Then we have to deal with these terracotta warriors ourselves," Lin Zitong held her breath, seemingly ready to fight.
Although the Ma siblings were still confused, they could guess with their toes that Boss Zhou entering the main tomb chamber would surely lead to no good.
They had to stop him quickly!
Yan Shouyi gritted his teeth, summoned his Zanpakuto, and looked at the piles of terracotta warriors below, saying in a cold voice:
"It seems we cannot avoid a fight. This will be the most difficult battle we've faced. Everyone, be mentally prepared."
"I'm ready," Lin Zitong gripped the Hong Shen Umbrella tightly.
"Brother Yan, we are also ready!" the Ma siblings shouted from afar, seemingly not intending to abandon Yan Shouyi and the others.
Only Long Feicheng shivered, "No, no, I'm not ready!"
"Then you can watch from up here. We don't have time to delay any further!"
After speaking, Yan Shouyi directly leaped towards the mass of terracotta warriors!
