"Finally, it’s open."

Looking at the gap in the stone obstruction, Kawai Matsutake smiled. This stone obstruction was truly troublesome; even using a drill, it took them over an hour.

"Mr. Xia Liang, please go ahead."

Kawai Matsutake then glanced at Xia Liang, indicating for him to continue scouting inside.

Xia Liang did not speak, taking large strides inside, with not much caution in his heart. The traps outside had been triggered by the intruders, though there were likely many traps inside, it didn’t matter too much.

Passing through the stone obstruction, there wasn’t much danger inside. Here, there weren’t any bodies of the intruders either, probably because they only made it this far and didn’t go inside.

"Hmm? Three paths?"

Looking at the three branching paths ahead, Xia Liang raised an eyebrow. These three paths looked similar, but among them, only one could lead to the depths of the tomb.

"Hmm, I could have some fun with these people."

As Xia Liang was thinking, Kawai Matsutake’s group also came over and saw the three roads ahead. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"What should we do now? Which path should we choose?"

"Certainly, only one path is safe inside; the other two probably have many traps."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to choose, ultimately turning their gaze to Kawai Matsutake.

"Ozawa, use the remote control cars to check these three roads."

Kawai Matsutake said, looking at Ozawa Ria.

Ozawa Ria nodded, then took out three remote control cars from her backpack, equipped with cameras that could connect to a computer.

"Whirr whirr whirr...."

Under Ozawa Ria’s control, the three remote control cars each headed down one of the paths.

Starting with the rightmost road, the footage on the computer showed it being quite empty inside, with nothing else.

"Click..."

But as the remote control car had just gone less than ten meters, a crisp sound rang out. A brick on the ground collapsed, and black liquid began oozing out.

"Hiss....."

The next instant, flames erupted; the entire passageway’s black liquid ignited, with fire engulfing it. The remote control car didn’t even have time to back out before being swallowed by the flames.

"The owner of this tomb is so vicious, if we had gone in, we would be finished,"

Watching this scene, Kawai Matsutake and the others were secretly shocked. Thankfully, they hadn’t gone in; otherwise, if they didn’t die, they would have been burned and in unbearable pain from the flames.

Then everyone turned to look at the remote control car in the middle path; at this point, it had gone over twenty meters without any incidents.

But just as everyone thought the middle path was safe, another crisp sound rang out.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle....."

The next instant, under everyone’s gaze, a series of one-meter-long ground spikes appeared, one of which directly pierced the remote control car.

Hiss.....

Everyone gasped, and many couldn’t help but cover their own backsides. If they were hit, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It seems only the left path is safe..."

Before Kawai Matsutake could finish speaking, the last remote control car was crushed into pieces as blocks of rubble fell on it.

"This..."

Everyone was dumbfounded as they looked at the blacked-out computer; all three paths were filled with countless dangers.

"What now? All three paths are dangerous."

Once more, everyone looked at Kawai Matsutake, who wore a grim expression. They had thought at least one path was safe, but all three turned out to be dangerous.

Regardless of which path they chose earlier, if they had dared to go in, they might already be corpses by now.

"Mr. Nakamura, we...."

Kawai Matsutake looked towards Nakamura Komachi, without any good ideas.

"Damn those Dragon Country people, being so cunning and setting up so many traps. But they won’t stop me from taking what’s inside."

Despite Nakamura Komachi’s displeased expression, he had no intention of giving up.

To him, encountering danger was normal, after all, the item he wanted was too important. The greater the danger, the more it proved that the item was inside.

"Kawai, let this Dragon Country person scout the way ahead. Aren’t these traps made by Dragon Country people? Let Dragon Country blood fill them."

Nakamura Komachi snorted coldly.

Kawai Matsutake nodded and looked at Xia Liang.

"Mr. Xia Liang, you have three paths before you. Choose for yourself."

"Of course, you can also choose a fourth path, which is to be killed by me right now."

As he spoke, Kawai Matsutake already wielded a sharp blade in his hand. If Xia Liang dared utter a refusal, he would not hesitate to kill him. Faced with Kawai Matsutake’s threat, Xia Liang smiled.

"Mr. Kawai, there’s actually a fifth path."

"A fifth path?"

Kawai Matsutake frowned, before he could understand, a flash of cold light streaked past. A military dagger somehow appeared in Xia Liang’s hand, directly attacking Kawai Matsutake. This sudden change caught Kawai Matsutake off guard, but being a trained ninja, he quickly reacted, ready to block Xia Liang’s attack with his blade.

"Swish."

But in the next moment, Xia Liang spun, bypassing Kawai Matsutake, with the military dagger aiming straight for Nakamura Komachi.

"Not good, protect Mr. Nakamura!"

Kawai Matsutake exclaimed in alarm, realizing Xia Liang’s target was Nakamura Komachi, immediately rushing to aid.

The others were also alerted and turned towards Xia Liang. Seeing Xia Liang’s military dagger less than a meter from Nakamura Komachi, their expressions changed.

They never anticipated that this Dragon Country person, who seemed to be seeking petty benefits, was actually hiding his true strength all along.

As Xia Liang approached Nakamura Komachi, a whooshing sound could be heard, as Kurokawa Kiseki’s fist came swinging. Before the fist arrived, Xia Liang already felt the force.

Narrowing his eyes, Xia Liang pretended to be overwhelmed, sidestepping to dodge the punch, the military dagger deviating from its original path.

"Shhh!"

The next moment, the military dagger pierced into Nakamura Komachi’s arm, eliciting a scream of pain from the intense agony.

"Damn it, I’ll kill you!"

Kawai Matsutake arrived, enraged upon seeing Nakamura Komachi wounded.

"I don’t have time to play with you all!"

Xia Liang laughed, his form darting like an arrow, arriving at the entrance of the leftmost path.

"Swish swish...."

Simultaneously, the sound of projectiles filled the air, as several dark weapons were hurled by the Islanders, targeting Xia Liang.

"Clink clink clink."

But Xia Liang had already entered the passageway, the projectiles striking the walls, sparking a burst of light.
