"If I'm not mistaken, this giant python has been guarding this place for hundreds of years!"

Qin Feng said.

He felt the dense spiritual energy emanating from the snake gallbladder.

It was an invaluable treasure indeed!

If auctioned, the starting price would be at least in the hundreds of millions, and for those who need it, like alchemists or cultivators, it could probably sell for up to a billion!

He tucked away the snake gallbladder.

Qin Feng got up and looked around.

This ancient tomb had clearly been visited before, but the previous visitors had not lingered long in this hall, as there were no signs of snakes being killed or humans perishing. Had it not been for the Wolf Tooth Necklace, they might not have disturbed the giant python.

Therefore, this place was worth exploring.

Moreover.

Qin Feng remembered a saying from Shifang Taoist that where specters or monsters guard, eight or nine times out of ten, there lies a supreme treasure!

This giant python also counted as an extraordinary entity.

After searching for a while.

Qin Feng noticed a skeleton wearing a Daoist robe, sitting cross-legged on the ground, covered in spider webs.

As he got closer, he immediately covered his nose, pondering, "Why does such a fierce poison emit from a mere skeleton? The poison gas doesn't diffuse; it's only present around the skeleton. Could it be intended to repel people and the treasures are right here?"

He hesitated for a moment.

Qin Feng moved the skeleton aside and discovered a square-shaped lid on the spot where the skeleton sat cross-legged!

The poison gas was seeping out from the cracks in the lid.

He then figured out a way to open the lid.

Sure enough.

There was a secret compartment inside!

There were three items in the compartment.

One was a Medicine Pill emitting poison gas.

One was an Alchemy Furnace, only as big as a water cup.

And the last was a short blade, only about a foot long.

"Indeed, some fine items!"

Qin Feng picked away the poison pills and examined the short blade. Merely by touching it, he could feel the substantial aura it emitted, proving it was no ordinary item!

He then inspected the Alchemy Furnace.

In such a dark place, having been there for so long, yet not a spot of verdigris!

He opened the Pill Furnace to look inside.

Inside Qin Feng found a secret book, titled "Immortal Elixir Manual"!

Flipping through a few pages, he saw the name of the author on the title page—Lord Tianji!

"Is it him?!"

Qin Feng widened his eyes in amazement.

He had heard from Shifang Taoist that Lord Tianji was the idol of his life, a very powerful figure in their sect, whose elixirs were rumored to turn gods into ghosts and ghosts into gods!

"Unexpectedly, Lord Tianji perished here."

Qin Feng said.

Since these were his belongings, they absolutely had to be supreme treasures.

Now, with no time for further thought, Qin Feng first kowtowed to Lord Tianji, then took the Pill Furnace, the Alchemy secret book, and the short blade, and left the place…

Inside the secret chamber.

The group was clamoring to move forward, but Xu Yunxiao was anxious, wanting to wait for Qin Feng.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu saw an opportunity!

Without Qin Feng, didn't he have a chance?

He hastened to comfort Xu Yunxiao, saying, "Yunxiao, since he hasn't returned after so long, he's likely encountered more misfortune than fortune. But you can't be impulsive, think of your family, your friends and relatives, you can't jeopardize your safety and sadden your loved ones over that worthless guy!"

"Hmph! Good riddance if he's dead!" Duke said from the side, "It's all his damn jinxed mouth's fault, leading all those snakes over to us!"

"Exactly, let's move on quickly! Before those snakes come after us again."

"…"

The crowd urged one another on.

Xu Yunxiao, however, still refused to leave, and Su Ruolan and Lin Xue'er were equally adamant about finding Qin Feng.

Everyone felt irked.

How could such a worthless guy make these three stunning beauties so reluctant to leave him?

At that moment.

Qin Feng finally arrived.

Seeing this, Xu Yunxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and approached, asking, "Are you alright?"

"It's fine."

Qin Feng smiled.

This was the first time he saw Xu Yunxiao so anxious on his behalf.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu's hopes were dashed, and he cursed in frustration, "Damn it, why did you run off on your own? You made us wait here for so long!"

"Yeah, that's not team spirit at all!"

"..."

The others also started complaining.

Qin Feng was baffled and said, "Hey, I'm the one who saved you, and this is how you act?"

"You saved us? Don't put on airs, it was clearly Dr. Su Ruolan who treated us with her medicine powder. All you did was yell 'run' a couple of times. What credit are you trying to claim?" Zhao Yu shouted.

"And on top of that, you're the one slowing us down!"

"Shameless!"

"..."

Qin Feng was speechless at these idiots and said coldly, "Fine, from now on, don't come begging to me if something happens!"

"Beg you?"

Zhao Yu laughed, "Should we beg you, a good-for-nothing who can't even stand up for himself? You really are full of yourself, if I have to beg you, I'll be your grandson!"

The others snickered as well.

The group continued on their journey.

Wandering around in the ancient tomb for quite a while, they found several secret rooms and coffins, but they didn't find any antiques or treasures, and since those coffins had been tampered with, if there were treasures, they were long gone.

After turning around for most of the day.

The group finally found a tomb raider hole, crawled out exhausted, huffing and puffing.

"Damn it, we went around in circles for nothing, there was nothing inside!"

Zhao Yu and the others said dejectedly.

"I'm so thirsty and hungry now."

Someone commented.

Only then did everyone realize that this was not the entrance they came through—their bags and belongings were not here!

"Damn, we have to go back for our stuff, our food, drinks, and tents are all the other way!"

Zhao Yu said.

But.

Thinking of the snakes in the tomb, no one wanted to go back.

"No, we have to go back, otherwise we're going to starve, and we'd have to sleep out in the open at night."

Zhao Yu began to urge everyone.

The group found his argument reasonable and set off.

After all, they were from privileged backgrounds, and sleeping in tents in the mountains was miserable enough, let alone out in the wilderness.

Qin Feng speechlessly said, "We've been walking around in the tomb for most of the day, haven't we? If we're going the right way, we should reach our destination by tomorrow at the latest. Do we really need to go back?"

"Hmph, scaredy-cat, such a coward!"

Zhao Yu scoffed at him and led everyone back into the tomb.

Xu Yunxiao was about to follow when Qin Feng held her back and said, "Wife, trust me, it won't take them three minutes to come back out."

Sure enough.

After Zhao Yu and the others entered, it only took them a minute to come out terrified, as if they had seen a ghost, drenched in cold sweat. This is a sample from My Virtual Library Empire. Read the rest on *.

"What happened?" Xu Yunxiao asked, puzzled, "Is there... something in there?"

"There's nothing..."

Zhao Yu shook his head, still visibly shaken.

"Then why are you so scared?"

"..."

The group looked at each other, clueless as to why they felt afraid. They had gone in and felt overcome with panic, as if there were ghosts inside—though they hadn't been scared before and had no idea why.

With a slight smile on his lips, Qin Feng deliberately said, "Wow, back so soon? I thought you were all so brave?"

"..."

Zhao Yu and the others were left speechless, their faces flushing red.

They didn't know that the reason they hadn't felt much fear in the tomb before was due to Xu Yunxiao's Golden Phoenix Jade Hairpin, which had shielded them from most of the evil energy.

Otherwise, in a place where a giant python lurked, it wouldn't be somewhere ordinary people could just come and go freely.

"Let's go!"

Qin Feng got up, dusted himself off, and said, "If we don't go now, it'll be too late later."

If he wasn't mistaken.

That group of tomb raiders should be nearby.
