Chapter 729: Help Yourselves, Don’t Be Shy
"'Tomb Raider Captain?'" It was the first time the two of them had heard such a novel term.
"Oh, it's just a fancy name for a grave goods transporter," Fang Jueyu shamelessly said, "We Tomb Raider Captains worry that those treasures will be buried forever in these tombs and never see the light of day again, wasting them, so with the thought of loving resources, we take them out and give them a new life!"
The two were dumbfounded by Fang Jueyu's explanation. Isn't this still tomb raiding? How could such behavior be described so grandiosely?
"Well, how about it, isn't it a great industry?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"Great?" They knew Fang Jueyu was shameless, but they never knew he could be this shameless.
They had been in the Cosmic Federation School for a while, and they had heard of the infamous master from the B. Academy. It was said that not only was he incredibly powerful, but he also loved to do immoral, shameless, and wicked things. The people he had duped could circle the Guna La Civilization twice.
But because of his formidable strength, no one dared to take revenge on him, and there was simply no one who could catch him. Raiding tombs was just a daily activity for him!
According to incomplete statistics, Wang Genji had at least defiled more than 20,000 royal tombs of advanced civilizations, stealing countless treasures!
Could it be that Fang Jueyu, after following him for this period, hadn't learned any useful skills but had mastered all of these shameless skills?
If tomb raiding were discovered by the people of the Zinake Civilization, the royal family would absolutely fight them to the end!
"I wonder if there are any zombies in this place!" Fang Jueyu muttered.
Then, he suddenly began to recite some mystical incantations:
"Seal of Grave Digging, Amulet of Tomb Raiding, Moving Mountains and Unloading Ridges Dragon Seeking Technique.
Humans light the candle, ghosts blow it out, geomancy and anti-coffin seek the star peak.
Mercury spots, nurture the Ming vessel, Dragon Tower Palace are countless.
...
Red-clothed fiends, smiling corpses, ghost laughter is less terrifying than their cries.
Seeking Dragon, Separating Gold, and Looking at the Mountain, each twist is a turning point.
When the gate looks perilous, do not step outside the yin and yang Eight Trigrams shape."
"What profound incantations!" Lancelot and Bernard exchanged glances. Although they didn't understand what Fang Jueyu was reciting, the less they understood it, the more impressive it seemed.
Fang Jueyu glanced at them secretly. If no one else were around, he could pretend even more, but honestly, he didn't even know what these incantations meant. After all, they were just from a novel, and their authenticity was still questionable.
Of course, Fang Jueyu wasn't the kind to go seeking death without caution. In a place so full of dangers, if he didn't have even a bit of confidence, he wouldn't dare to rush in blindly. Even in such advanced civilization tombs, there were certain special patterns to follow.
Things like feng shui and burial studies are actually intertwined with science. In these advanced civilizations, these disciplines have been further developed and passed on, but their core remains unchanged.
In the civilization that created Xiao Yi, there was a tomb raiding expert whose understanding of various tombs was unparalleled. There was no tomb he couldn't raid!
"Xiao Yi, transfer the knowledge of the tombs to my memory!"
"Right away, Master!"
As a Divine Ability User, this kind of knowledge, which relies on understanding and experience, was much quicker to absorb than those martial arts tricks. Soon, a glimmer of brilliance flashed in Fang Jueyu's eyes.
He had already grasped the structure and layout of this royal tomb completely, and a place filled with danger for others was now almost as familiar to him as his own backyard.
"Follow me, I'll take you on an adventure!" Fang Jueyu bravely headed down the far-left corridor.
"Three long, one short, choose the shortest. Three short, one long, choose the longest. If the lengths vary, choose B; if uneven, choose D!" Fang Jueyu mumbled to himself as he walked.
"What is Brother Fang doing?" The two followed Fang Jueyu timidly. They knew the place was full of peril, but they couldn't just watch the idiot walk to his death, could they?
"No clue, seems like he's determining the location of the treasure room in the tomb!" Panuo whispered.
"Round ball, banana pear, horse lily blooms twenty-one, two five six, two five seven, two eight two nine thirty-one...." As Fang Jueyu walked, his strides suddenly took on a floaty rhythm. While it seemed to follow some pattern, they couldn't discern the trick behind it.
"Look, Brother Fang's steps have changed!"
"Is there some kind of mechanism or trap here?"
"Don't just stand there, jump with me!" Fang Jueyu shouted back, "If you step wrong, we're all done for!"
The two were immediately drenched in cold sweat. Even though the incantations and this hopping pattern seemed embarrassing, there was no time to worry about that now. Their lives were at stake!
"Step back!" Suddenly, Fang Jueyu halted, and Lancelot and Panuo also stopped.
"What's wrong, Brother Fang, is there something amiss?" The two were instantly tense.
"Nothing, I just figured out the tomb's location!" Fang Jueyu said.
"Really?" Even though it was a bit unscrupulous, they were all friends with Bernard, and now that Bernard was trapped in the Zinake Kingdom, the kingdom was essentially their enemy. There wasn't much of a moral conflict about targeting an enemy.
Even if they emptied the entire royal tomb of the Zinake Kingdom, Bernard wouldn't blame them. He might even treat them to bubble tea.
"Watch this!" Fang Jueyu took out a massive sledgehammer, which, though plain, seemed unfathomable to them.
Fang Jueyu raised the sledgehammer, the muscles in his arm bulging with effort, showing just how strenuous it was for him.
They knew Fang Jueyu's strength best. Even he found it tough; it would be even harder for the other two!
"Could this be a fourth-grade weapon?" The two speculated.
"This is what we use in the Divine Hoarder Civilization for breaking down walls!" Fang Jueyu said as he wielded the sledgehammer.
"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"
With each resounding chant, each swing could practically cause an earthquake. The tomb swayed intensely, and if not for the reinforced protective mechanisms, the first swing could have brought the whole place down.
"This thing is for smashing walls?" Lancelot was at a loss for words. What wall could withstand such a blow?
"Crap, that racket is sure to attract people!"
"Bam!" After dozens of swings, the ground finally cracked open, revealing another space beneath!
"Damn, so hard to crack, it took more than dozens of hits even with a Divine Weapon!" Fang Jueyu wiped his sweat. Of course, it was only because his strength wasn't enough to drive the Divine Weapon; otherwise, one hit could rupture not just the tomb, but even the entire planet.
"This... This..."
Lancelot and Panuo snapped back to reality, stunned by the sight before them. It was indeed a burial chamber!
In the center of the chamber lay an incredibly ornate coffin, surrounded by a wealth of treasures!
"I told you, there's no tomb Fang Jueyu can't raid!" Fang Jueyu put the Divine Weapon away and began stuffing treasures into his Space Ring.
"Take whatever you like, don't stand on ceremony!" Fang Jueyu said seriously. "Refusing would be a slap in my face!"
