“I’m speaking directly to your heart, and it’s telling me that you need my help. After crossing this place, the next cave will be very dark, but there will be a bump on the left side of the wall. All you need to do is to press it, and the people in front of you will fall into various holes. Even if they survive, they would need to start over again in an unfamiliar place. By then, you and your Ni family’s teams would be the first in line. So, what do you think? Are you up for it?”
Ni Biao did not answer, but something suddenly emerged from the bottom of his eyes, glowing eerily.
The black spider knew that he was tempted by the idea. It smiled again and said, “Rest assured, no one would know that it was you. It would simply look like an accident, as though the people in front have triggered some form of trap within the royal tomb…”
“Fine.” Ni Biao interrupted the spider, “But, you’ll have to promise me to kill those two!”
“Sure.” The black spider smirked as it answered. However, it was not clueless enough to provoke that mysterious man whose identity was unknown. Nonetheless, it had just manipulated this human, who was already corrupted by the aura of resentment in order to reach its objective. It needed to distract the man away, so that it could savor the child that it had been craving for so long.
At the thought of this, the black spider rolled out its bloody tongue and licked its lips. It could not wait any longer…
No one could hear the agreement between Ni Biao and the magical being, not even his son, Ni Hu. He had no idea why his father froze suddenly…
Everything seemed normal at first glance, as the exorcists moved forward into a long tunnel, one by one.
As expected, the tunnel was exactly like what Ni Biao heard, it was extremely dark and narrow. Only one person could pass through at a time, anyone larger would have to enter sideways.
Nonetheless, they had to do it as this was the only way left.
When Helian Wei Wei was still living in modern times, she used to read books about tomb raiders. All the layouts of the royal tomb usually interlocked with one another. When these narrow tunnels were found, it would mean that the main coffin was near.
Helian Wei Wei knew that it would be unwise to stay in the royal tomb any longer. She was not worried about herself but her unborn child, who could be affected inside there.
The smaller fetus was clearly affected, as his spirit became weaker when she proceeded deeper into the royal tomb.
As for the bigger fetus… He was practicing boxing inside her stomach while scanning the vicinity for any deal souls to consume. Then, he hugged the smaller fetus in a cool manner, saying, “Just wait till we get out of here. I’ll give you my share of spiritual aura from mother because you need to eat more.”
“Yeah.” The smaller fetus was quite frail. Weirdly, he felt very uncomfortable and uneasy, as though something was watching them silently.
It seemed that the bigger fetus had noticed the smaller fetus’s uneasiness, so he kissed the smaller fetus’ forehead without hesitating and consoled him, “Stop overthinking, big brother is here.”
Smaller fetus thought to himself. It looks like big brother has expanded his vocabulary so much that he knew the word ‘overthinking’, but is this the appropriate word for this situation? Hmm…
The bigger fetus mistook the smaller fetus’ hesitation as admiration. He became so delighted that he thrust his chest out with pride.
The smaller fetus was speechless…
Forget it, it’s better to not expose Brother and let him stay thrilled!
Helian Wei Wei felt the commotion going in her stomach, so she caressed her abdomen before continuing forward.
In contrast, Baili Jia Jue swiftly pulled her back with his slender fingers. Then, he pointed behind him, and said calmly with a sincere tone he only used with Helian Wei Wei, “Are you an idiot, constantly rushing ahead like that? Stand behind and follow closely.”
“Hmm,” Helian Wei Wei knew His Highness was protecting her, even if his ways were always unconventional. However, it was acceptable as long as she understood his intention.
Both of them walked together, with one at the front and another behind. They held hands initially but the posture was inconvenient, especially because Helian Wei Wei was holding a torch on the other hand and she often had to walk sideways.
Baili Jia Jue soon noticed that she was tired, so he reminded her, “Look under your feet.” Then, he released Helian Wei Wei’s hand.

Helian Wei Wei was not a fragile woman. However, she was very capable in combat and sharp-minded usually. She had been observing the ground as she walked, so she could discover any traps and avoid them in time.
However, she did not realize that the danger was not ahead of her, but behind her.
Suddenly, a loud bang rang through the tunnel!
In an instant, everyone fell through the ground before they could react.
Complete darkness instantly shadowed their vision.
At the same time, piercing screams echoed through the lightless zone.
Even as Helian Wei Wei was falling, she did not forget to protect her abdomen.
As she landed, she used her arms to soften the blow.
Although she could protect her stomach, she inevitably fractured a few bones.
Nevertheless, her landing was far better than those without proper landing techniques.
Even though she had lost her spiritual aura and martial Qi that protected her body, she managed to survive with her vast experience. However, she had to sacrifice one of her arms, being completely useless from the injury.
Despite that, she achieved her objective of protecting her baby, and that came before everything else.
On the other hand, Baili Jia Jue was not as easygoing as Helian Wei Wei.
His feet were levitated in the air, as his charming eyes turned vivid gold. His black robes fluttered around him audibly, as though noticing its master’s demonic aura, breaking the tranquil silence of the royal tomb.
At that moment, nearly all of the dead spirits in the royal tomb started to shudder in fear.
How could this be?
Who has entered the mausoleum!
Why are we so frightened!
The intense fear coursed through their veins and gripped their hearts, causing them to bend down on their knees in terror.
There’s no answer to that!
Even Ni Biao did not expect the man before him to escape the trap just now. How fast was he to accomplish that?
He was truly formidable, so much so that he did not seem human.
Baili Jia Jue paid no attention to the people around him, as he narrowed his eyes and swiftly dashed to his left.
At the same time, the black spider was unaware that it had just provoked someone he should not have. As it gawked ravenously at its prey who had fallen from above, copious drool was trickling from between its teeth…
The moment Helian Wei Wei hit the floor, she felt something was behind her. Ignoring the pain in her arm, she hastily rolled over and looked toward the dark shadows.
