Chapter 1263 The Three Paths of Ghosts

Jiang Xiaochuan turned around abruptly and saw that the once smooth bluestone slabs on the road he had come from were now undergoing a dramatic transformation.

Several stone slabs slowly sank, revealing a honeycomb-like poison needle launcher inside.

Several stone slabs suddenly cracked open, and barbed iron chains shot out with a whoosh. In the distance, countless hidden grooves on the rock face were slowly closing...

Clearly, what they just triggered was only the first trap; the traps they encountered on their way here were all part of a series of deadly attacks.

Because the main power switch was shut off in time, these subsequent mechanisms were completely paralyzed and did not have time to activate.

But just seeing these exposed dangers is enough to send chills down one's spine.

Each of these mechanisms was several times more insidious than the quicksand and guillotine we had just encountered.

"I, Fatty, am blessed by the heavens; it seems my life was not meant to end here."

The sixth brother slumped to the ground, panting heavily.

Having survived the ordeal, Jiang Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the path ahead remained shrouded in darkness. It was a pipe dream to search for the source of Yin energy without traversing this tomb passage.

Because the gate was closed, all the mechanisms in this area were shut down. Stepping on the safe stone slabs, Jiang Xiaochuan walked step by step to the end of the firelight in the tomb passage.

Ahead lay a pure, chilling darkness.

As Jiang Xiaochuan got closer, he felt the darkness was even more eerie, as if it could block his senses.

With a thought, Jiang Xiaochuan focused his mind and extended his spiritual energy forward, but as soon as the spiritual energy touched the edge of darkness, it sank without any response.

This gave him a very intuitive feeling that even if someone was standing in the dark, even if they were right next to him, it would be as if they were separated by thousands of miles, and he would not be able to detect them at all.

The sound of rustling footsteps came from behind, and Lao Liu followed with slightly heavy steps.

Was it like this before?

Looking at the endless darkness, Jiang Xiaochuan felt somewhat irritated.

"It's definitely this dark..."

The sixth brother took out a small, powerful flashlight, pressed the switch, and with a "click," a beam of concentrated white light emerged.

"But last time, as strange as it was, it wasn't this 'dead'. I remember clearly, as I walked forward, the lights on both walls lit up one by one, as if guiding me."

As he spoke, he shone the flashlight beam into the darkness.

The blinding white light crashed into the edge of darkness and was instantly swallowed up, not even a trace of light could penetrate it.

"Hey? This is weird!"

Lao Liu, refusing to believe it, took two more steps forward, held the flashlight close to the darkness, and even reached in to try and stick his hand in, but was pulled back by Jiang Xiaochuan.

"Don't touch it, it might be a trap."

Jiang Xiaochuan said in a deep voice.

The darkness was too eerie; no one knew what was hidden inside. Touching it rashly might trigger a new mechanism.

Old Six withdrew his hand, swallowed hard, and looked on with a look of surprise and uncertainty: "Damn it, this isn't right!"

Just then, a soft "snap" sound came from the depths of the darkness.

The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the deathly silent tomb passage, as if someone had pressed a switch.

Then, suddenly, faint lights appeared in the darkness!

One, two, three... The eerie green lights lit up one by one from the depths of darkness, exactly ten in number, just like the area behind them that was illuminated.

These newly lit oil lamps are exactly the same as the previous ones, with flickering eerie green flames on their wicks.

Old Six subconsciously counted the number of oil lamps. When he reached the tenth lamp, his face suddenly turned ugly, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Are these alive?!"

He pointed to the newly lit, dim lights, his voice trembling slightly:

"There was nothing there just now! How did these lights suddenly appear out of the darkness? And there are exactly the same number as the ones behind us. Are they playing a trick on us?!"

Jiang Xiaochuan also frowned.

The appearance of these oil lamps was too eerie, as if they were born from darkness itself, and the positions where they lit up formed a straight line.

Before the two could think it through, a "crackling" sound suddenly came from the stone slabs under their feet!

At first, there was only a slight tremor, but soon the tremor became more and more violent, and the entire main tomb passage seemed to be held by an invisible hand and began to shake wildly.

"Oh no! The tomb passage is about to collapse?!"

Old Liu exclaimed in surprise, instinctively leaning against the rock wall beside him, his obese body swaying precariously.

Jiang Xiaochuan, however, keenly realized that it wasn't collapsing, but rather that the tomb passage itself was moving!

He observed intently and discovered that the stone slab beneath his feet was slowly splitting, creating a deep crack in the middle. The crack widened and widened, dividing the originally straight tomb passage in two.

Immediately afterwards, the two split tomb passages began to slowly extend to both sides.

At the same time, a new stone slab rose from the gap in the middle, forming a third tomb passage!

In just two minutes, the original main tomb passage was transformed into three parallel passages.

Each passageway entrance corresponds to a row of eerie green oil lamps, leading into the depths of darkness.

The three passages are exactly the same in width and height, and even the patterns on the rock walls are identical.

The shaking gradually stopped, and the tomb passage returned to relative calm, leaving only three dark passages that, under the dim green light, resembled three gaping mouths ready to devour their prey.

Old Six staggered to his feet, looked at the three passages before him, and suddenly screamed as if he had seen a ghost, "Damn it! This, this is the Three Paths of Ghosts!"

Only now did Lao Liu belatedly realize that the reason why the mechanisms in this sacred tomb were so strange was that they couldn't possibly have been set up by those fools from the Crimson Blood Sect who only knew about the Yin Sha Blood Array.

It was a trap specifically designed to counter his tomb raiding techniques from the Spirit Guardian Sect!

The three ghostly paths before us are the unique skills of the long-vanished Zhenling Division.

In an instant, a storm raged in Lao Liu's heart, and a thought began to grow in his mind.

There must be a master hidden within the Crimson Blood Sect who saw through his method of stealing the Spirit Gate, which is why he spared no expense to invite the long-lost descendants of the Tomb Guardian Division.

The purpose was to completely trap and kill this uninvited guest in the tomb.

That must be it!

He couldn't think of any reasonable explanation other than this possibility.

The Mausoleum Guardian is an ancient sect that coexisted with the Tomb Raiders' Gate. They are dedicated to protecting the mausoleums of royalty and powerful clans. They are proficient in various anti-tomb raiding mechanisms and are most familiar with the exploration routes and methods used by tomb raiders.

It can be said that it is the natural enemy of all tomb raiding sects.

What are the Three Paths of Ghosts?

Jiang Xiaochuan's voice interrupted Lao Liu's thoughts.

Seeing the sixth brother's tense expression, he felt a sense of unease.

The danger of this tomb far exceeded his imagination. Even a seasoned veteran like Lao Liu lost his composure, which shows how terrifying these three paths are.
