Chapter 163: Ancient Tomb Mechanism

After two or three hours passed, the mutated eagle finally descended slowly from the high altitude. Surrounding it was an endless desert, with scattered remnants of ancient city walls within the desert.

At this moment, in this ancient city, three individuals stood side by side. Among them, one was an elderly man dressed in Tang clothing, clearly a person from China. The other two, one with dark skin and the other with fair skin, were likely awakened individuals from foreign countries.

Now that various factions had agreed to explore together, in order to prevent any group from sneaking in, each of the three parties had arranged for a strong individual to guard.

Apart from these three individuals standing guard at the entrance, there were two other factions.

One group consisted of awakened individuals from the United States, a country with strong capabilities that gathered elites from various fields. In the realm of awakened individuals, they were likely the strongest presence after the Great Xia.

As for the other faction, it was the Eurasian Union, which included awakened individuals from almost all countries except the United States and China.

After the eagle landed, a total of nearly twenty individuals from these two factions looked towards Ye Xuan and his group. It was evident that they held strong animosity towards the awakened individuals of the Great Xia.

At this moment, the elderly man in Tang clothing spoke, “Everyone is here. Now, let me explain. Safety comes first when entering the ruins, and seizing the treasures of the ruins comes second.

Furthermore, remember one principle: if others do not provoke us, we will not provoke them. We, Chinese, will focus on seizing treasures, so do not provoke others actively.

But if anyone dares to make a move, we will show no mercy. One kill for one, one pair for one pair!”

“Yes!” Ye Xuan and the others responded in unison, with a solemn killing intent lingering in the air.

Subsequently, an elderly awakened individual from the United States, holding a scepter, stepped forward and said, “In that case, let me open the ruins next!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun found it strange and asked, “How come this American can speak Chinese?”

Long Hanjie explained, “Haven’t you heard that song? That language is mostly universal now?”

At that moment, the elderly awakened individual holding the scepter struck the ground with it, causing the earth to tremble. Within a kilometer radius, all the sand dust floated in the air, suspended without falling.

Ye Xuan’s eyes revealed a hint of surprise, “Gravity ability?”

Chu Han nodded, “Correct, this old man’s ability is gravity manipulation, capable of freely changing the gravity of surrounding objects and himself, making him one of the top awakened individuals in the United States.”

Along with the floating sand dust, the field of vision for everyone changed once again. It was an ancient tomb buried in the sand, with a layer of stone on top.

This type of stone was originally covered in fine sand. Due to the high fluidity of the sand, when tomb robbers dug holes in the upper layers of soil, each pit they dug would quickly be filled by the flowing sand, discouraging tomb robbers in this manner.

Unfortunately, now all the surrounding fine sand was floating in the air, blocking out the sunlight and rendering the defensive effect of the stone ineffective.

Then, the elderly man in Tang clothing waved his hand lightly, causing a tens of tons heavy stone to float in the air before crashing to the side.

Chu Han took the initiative to explain, “This senior Ma’s ability is telekinesis, capable of manipulating everything with his mind, making him quite powerful.”

After the huge stone was sent flying by telekinesis, a passage appeared. Below the passage was pitch black, appearing deep and mysterious.

Subsequently, the young awakened individuals from the three factions quickly walked towards this passage.

Although the American awakened individuals and the Eurasian Union wanted to oppose China, they each had their own selfish motives and were not truly united. Therefore, after the individuals from the three factions entered the passage, they remained vigilant towards each other.

Inside the passage at this moment, it was no longer pitch black. The people from the three factions illuminated the path in different ways.

On Ye Xuan’s side, Su Mengli had a fiery red lotus blooming above her head, emitting a strong red light that illuminated everything around her.

On the Eurasian Union’s side, a young Asian man had a large sun behind him, resembling a small sun that illuminated the surroundings.

As for the American faction, they also had a similar ability. A Caucasian man among them was radiating a golden light, turning everything around him into gold.

At this moment, everyone had not yet reached the ruins but were in the tomb above the ruins.

Ancient tombs were bound to have some mechanisms and hidden weapons. However, these mechanisms might have some effect on ordinary people, but for this group of elite young awakened individuals, they were not enough of a threat.

Ye Xuan and the others did not pay much attention to these ancient tomb mechanisms. Today, their biggest enemies were the awakened individuals from the Eurasian Union and the United States.

Of course, no one made any rash moves at the moment. Even if they were to act, they would at least need to see the treasures first. It was not the time yet.

The three factions remained vigilant and proceeded along the tomb passage. Within a few minutes, they triggered the mechanisms within the tomb passage.

The first wave of mechanisms was a rain of swords. After the mechanism was triggered, countless cold arrows shot from all directions, covering everyone.

Ye Xuan held the Hammer of Thunder God, invoking the power of thunder to create a layer of lightning shield around himself and his companions.

The lightning shield could not withstand Xia Mo’s transformation into Saitama, but it was more than enough to resist this rain of swords.

When the arrows touched the shield, they lost their momentum and fell to the ground.

At the same time, Ye Xuan and the others observed the actions of the other factions.

The Eurasian Union side had the Asian man with the large sun behind him take action. When the rain of swords approached, the large sun behind him expanded, enveloping their group.

After the rain of swords touched the large sun, it disappeared as if entering a black hole, causing no harm to them.

As for the American awakened individuals, their methods seemed a bit more primitive. The man radiating golden light moved at lightning speed, quickly memorizing all the arrows shot at him and finally throwing them on the ground.

Long Hanjie watched this scene and whispered, “The Asian from the Eurasian Union and Su Mengli have somewhat similar abilities. As for the guy radiating golden light, he’s very fast, somewhat like the Flash from DC. We will have to face them sooner or later, so everyone should think of a strategy in advance.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yun calmly said, “If it’s just speed, it’s useless. No matter how fast he is, he can’t escape my hands.”

Zhou Yun’s ability was the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. With a single thought, a thousand hands could move as she pleased, and with the wisdom eye of Guanyin, she could capture the opponent’s speed.

Xia Mo then coldly stated, “Leave the guy with the sun to me. I’ll crush him with one claw!”

Long Hanjie had witnessed the power of the Magic’s Twin Claws before. Judging from the abilities displayed by the two factions so far, they should be able to handle them. However, they were unsure about the abilities of the other individuals.
