Chapter 133: Everyone Knows About the God's Tomb
By the time the kids reached the tomb, there was already a massive crowd of people milling about.
Zi Cheng didn’t understand why so many people were there.
Ai Lin didn’t know either – there were too many plot changes! The only ones who should have been at the tomb were the members of the Yiduo clan. Zi Cheng would arrive later and the two would fight to gain entrance. Ultimately, as the female MC, Zi Cheng would win, enter the tomb, and get the divine artifact. The fact that the structure was a tomb wasn’t something anyone else should have known. Ai Lin was really confused.
No one else in the group knew the tomb was supposed to be a big secret or just how important it was.
The battlegrounds were a huge, expansive region. Many people entered to get hands on training and gain experience. They were all confident in their abilities, but they knew not to underestimate anyone they met.
News about the tomb spread fast. There were so many factions gathered around that no one would have been able to sneak inside the tomb unnoticed. Ming Xi’s group joined the growing number of people milling about without attracting any attention. They could tell there was something wrong so they looked for an inconspicuous place to wait. But some people shine brightly no matter where they are. People will inexorably turn to them even if they’re just standing still minding their own business.
Unfortunately Ming Xi’s party was full of people like that: there was the gentle, charming and charismatic Zi Cheng, there was the incredibly sexy Elena with her curvaceous body, there was the beautiful and sassy looking Ai Lin with her bright smile, there was the exotic, dark, mysterious beauty of Feng Wu, and then there was Yifu and Jasmine, who were pretty in their own right. That was the ladies, the boys were amazing too.
Jier was like a fire in the night with his flaming red hair and heated atmosphere. Tian Ya exuded a chilly beauty with his cold eyes and murderous aura. Ming Xi stood like a serene beauty, charm glowing from every pore. He was like the moon god incarnate. Men, women, it didn’t matter the gender, eyes gravitated towards him. The ladies were staring quite lasciviously as a matter of fact. The other males in the group may as well just blend into the background.
Those undistinguishable men.[notes]:. ..
“Hey, are you guys also looking for treasure in the god’s tomb?” The question came from a sloppily dressed young man in a nearby group composed of both men and women. It was obvious they were interested in Ming Xi’s team.
“You guys too?” Luis took on the role of ambassador.
What god’s tomb? Wasn’t this just an ordinary tomb? Both Jier and Gerasi discretely glanced at Zi Cheng. Had she known all along it wasn’t just an ordinary tomb but actually a god’s tomb?
Suspicion bloomed in Jier’s heart. He decided Zi Cheng wasn’t as honest as she appeared. If he did go into the tomb he needed to watch out for her.
Gerasi had some doubts but he wasn’t certain. The others in the group felt the same way. It was possible she didn’t know. But even if she did, she was the one who discovered it, so her keeping it a secret was fair. After all it was a god’s tomb. It was appropriate to be on guard and be cautious.
Their opinion of Zi Cheng was unchanged.
Feng Wu was confused. “It’s not just an old tomb?” There was no hidden motive in her question; she only asked because she wanted clarification.
Other’s hearing the question took it the wrong way.
Zi Cheng bit her lip, an aggrieved look in her eyes. “Sorry Xiao Wu, I didn’t know this was a god’s tomb. I really thought it was just some ancient tomb.” Zi Cheng pulled the innocent, misunderstood card.
Ai Lin wanted to applaud. It was damn good acting.
Yifu immediately jumped in, her tone filled with anger. “What are you saying?! Are you blaming Xiao Cheng?!”
“Ladies, ladies. This is a god’s tomb. News of it spread like wildfire yesterday. Not only that, even the exact location was disclosed. No one knows who started it, but the entire battleground knows about it. So we all came to check it out,” broke in the young man from earlier, totally missing the nasty undertone floating between the girls. josei
“Oh,” Luis smoothly added, “so that’s how it is. We also heard about the tomb; that’s why we’re here. We just didn’t expect it was a god’s tomb.”
“The people who told you about it must have not known either. Anyways, it’s a god’s tomb, so it’s a huge affair. Who knows how many bigshots are going to show up? There are a bunch of large groups camping out in front of the entrance already. But it’ll only open with a key, so no one’s getting in until the one with the key shows up.”
“What?! A key? The tomb needs key?” Luis was surprised. The group had no idea there was a key.
“Of course there’s a key.” The young man answered. “It’s a god’s tomb my man. Otherwise don’t you think everyone would have gone in already?”
Pei Qing had to ask. “Who has the key then?”
The young man turned to look at Pei Qing in the eyes. “The Inferno company. They’re legendary.”
“The Inferno company?” Wasn’t that the group they met earlier in the woods? Luis thought the name was familiar. The news about the tomb was spread yesterday, and yesterday was when they encountered the company and the seven people. Was there a connection? It was only a hypothesis but the entire thing made Luis wonder.
