Chapter 79: Underground Palace

Yin Shian was speechless.

Even if he was a zombie, he knew that safety was more important than walnuts.

“How much deeper is it down here?”

…

So how did that hole appear? It clearly wasn’t there when she placed the sack.

Any ordinary person would have been smashed into a pulp. Fortunately, they were not ordinary people.

Lu Xiaocha looked at Yin Shian and grabbed his arm to pull the sack of walnuts into her arms. She lay down peacefully.

Yin Shian was indeed an SS-Grade zombie. He hugged Lu Xiaocha with both hands and put away the chain. Without blinking, his body fell straight down.

The moment he landed, there was a loud bang. He was fine, but there was a spider web-like crack in the ground.

“We’re here.”

Yin Shian placed Lu Xiaocha there.

This was a very deep tunnel. It was originally dark, but when Yin Shian took a step forward, the oil lamp on the wall that had been there for countless years lit up all the way to the end of the tunnel.

Lu Xiaocha sniffed. “It’s corpse oil.”

Since she was already here, and she couldn’t go back up, she might as well move forward.

The only sound in the quiet, long passage was their footsteps. Tap, tap, tap…

Gradually, corpses that had long since turned to bones appeared in front of them. They were wearing clothes from different eras.

Clearly, this place had been discovered a long time ago, and people had come here. Some of them were tomb raiders, but they had all died here.

As they moved forward, the entire tunnel was filled with mist, silently enveloping their bodies.

However, Lu Xiaocha and Yin Shian were fine after passing through the fog.

They looked back. Lu Xiaocha wiped her chin and thought, “Why is there fog here?”

Yin Shian was expressionless. “There must be a trap!”

“But we’re here now. Nothing happened.”

Yin Shian changed his mind. “Useless thing.”

Lu Xiaocha nodded. That’s right, it was useless.

If the person who set up this poisonous fog trap heard that the two of them had to talk, he would probably jump out of his coffin in anger.

Don’t you two f*cking monsters know anything about yourselves?!

Yin Shian was a zombie, so this poisonous fog was naturally useless against him because he was poisonous to begin with.

Lu Xiaocha had a secret. In the post-apocalyptic world, her superpower was not only strengthened in terms of physical fitness, but also resistance to poison!

She was too stupid when she was young. When she went out with some people to do missions, she was tricked and bitten by a zombie.

Initially, she was already waiting for death. However, what was surprising was that after she woke up from her sleep, her superpower had improved without any problems. Later on, she did not like to go on missions with others anymore. She always fought alone.

Firstly, it was because she’d learned her lesson that time and didn’t want to be around anyone else. The other reason was that she had to hide the secret that her body wasn’t affected by zombie poison so that she wouldn’t be killed.

After all, the morality and humanity of such a world had basically collapsed. She did not dare to risk her life.

Moreover, towards the end, her body-strengthening superpower, which was thought to be useless, was inexplicably refined into a body that was even more indestructible than the zombie king. It could fight the zombie king head-on.

Lightning and fire superpowers were like a tickle to her.

If she hadn’t self-destructed when the zombies surrounded her, no human or zombie would have been able to kill her.

If she had known that she could come here after death, she would have exploded long ago!

Along the way, they encountered many traps, such as poisonous arrows.

Lu Xiaocha walked slowly behind Yin Shian. The poisonous arrows landed on him without leaving a mark. She won again.

For example, the sudden rockfall shattered on Lu Xiaocha’s head. She scratched her head blankly and continued walking. Other than some dust on her body, she was fine.

Another example was the puppet mechanism. When the adult-sized sharp ax smashed down, Lu Xiaocha caught it with one hand and squeezed it with her soft white hand. With a cracking sound, the ax shattered.

Her heart ached when it broke. “This thing can be sold for a lot of money, right?”

The people from the heretic bureau seemed to need it.

Yin Shian stared at the puppets. “This should be able to sell for money too.”

Her eyes instantly lit up. Selling money = food.

Nothing wrong with that!

Therefore, after Lu Xiaocha and Yin Shian’s operation, these puppets were disassembled into a few large pieces and piled together.

“Just leave it here. We’ll come back for it when we leave.”

Yin Shian naturally listened to Lu Xiaocha.

They kept walking. More poisonous insects appeared.

Lu Xiaocha’s eyes lit up.

“I brought the bottle this time!”

She took a glass bottle from the sack and crouched down. With her bare hands, she grabbed the blood-red spider closest to her and a centipede, putting them into the bottle.

In the circle of poisonous insects, a human and a zombie stared at the bottle. The color became brighter as the two poisonous insects inside began to kill and bite each other. In the end, the blood-red spider won.

The corners of the little girl’s pink lips curled up into a cute and innocent smile with beautiful dimples.

“It really will work. Come, let’s continue.”

Yin Shian casually grabbed a slender poisonous snake that was as thick as his fingers and put it into the bottle. After another round of fighting, the snake won.

They caught the creatures one by one, and there were fewer and fewer poisonous insects around them. These poisonous insects that could not bite into their skin no matter how hard they tried and almost broke their poisonous fangs, finally realized that they had encountered a tough opponent. They turned around and fled.

Although some had escaped, Lu Xiaocha felt that she had gained a lot from looking at the white and fat worm in the bottle.

“Last step.”

She bit her finger and dripped bright red blood onto the snow-white worm.

The originally irritable insect gradually calmed down and stayed motionless in the bottle as if it had fallen asleep.

“There. From now on, a drop of blood a day will make it obedient.”

Yin Shian asked, “What’s this?”

“I don’t know.”

She didn’t know what kind of creature it was. Granny had said that if it wasn’t a Gu worm raised by the same poisonous insects, no one could predict what kind of insect it would end up being.

However, she was a little surprised. So many fancy bugs raised a snow-white little bug that looked quite pretty.

When she finally reached the end, she was stunned by the dazzling scene in front of her.

She blamed herself for her lack of knowledge. She just thought this place was beautiful.

The luxurious ground and walls were repaired with white jade. On the ceiling of the entire underground palace was a Night-Luminescent Pearl the size of two adult fists.

There were also many round beads emitting light on the wall. In the middle of the underground palace were boxes as tall as a small mountain.

Scattered on the ground around them were various pearls, gems, and gold bars. Behind them was an ornate dragon throne paved with snow-white fox fur.

There was also a row of bead curtains hanging in front of the entrance of the underground palace. Every bead was round and beautiful, and they were even light pink like peach blossoms.

Even before opening those boxes, it was already shocking enough. In short, the entire underground palace could be described as extravagant.
