Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1000 - 521: The Tunnel of Illusions (Part 2)

"It's that one."

Duan Yun pointed to a hole at the top of the burial chamber.

At the top of the burial chamber, there was a pitch-black opening.

Duan Yun leaped up and found the walls of the hole incredibly smooth, as if it had been drawn with a compass, very precise.

This tomb raider's hole must have existed here for many years without any sign of collapse.

Duan Yun had to admit that only a grave-robbing genius like that vile rat could create such a tomb raider's hole.

"This is it, come up."

Duan Yun said to Brother Murong from inside the hole above.

Brother Murong didn't hesitate, jumped up, and quickly followed.

Soon, their figures disappeared into the tomb raider's hole.

Until then, the body of the crocodile in the coffin jerked upright and sat up.

The first thing it did was frantically slap the fire on its crotch, then stripped off its clothes.

It found that once the fire caught, it was difficult to extinguish, so it quickly turned around, wielding the large scimitar in its hand.

The blade fell swiftly, and all the burning flesh on its body was sliced off.

Yet there was one area it was hesitant to touch.

That was the crotch.

Its crotch still burned, every time it raised the scimitar, its eyes were filled with both resolve and hesitation.

At that moment, an eerie female voice sounded—"Cut it off, it's already burnt."

Finally, the crocodile sighed heavily, gritted its teeth, and with a crunch, sliced it off.

Afterwards, it didn't dare linger a moment, quickly crawling out of the coffin and running toward a dark corner.

A while later, a faint voice came from afar—"Hurry, I'm afraid they'll come back."

"Where did this creep come from? Just now, I was too afraid to move."

In the shadows, two figures moved quickly, one was the crocodile, the other seeming like a fox.

Soon, they too vanished from the space, leaving the burial chamber silent.

....

The tomb raider's hole started steeply, nearly vertical, making Duan Yun and Brother Murong feel like they were climbing inside a shaft.

At this point, the tomb raider's hole curved, turning into a downward slope.

Because the tomb raider's hole was so smoothly made, this downhill path felt like sliding down a slide, very fluid.

After sliding down a long way, the tomb raider's hole straightened upwards again, then downwards, then upwards again.

On the third upward stretch, Duan Yun stopped.

Brother Murong looked up at his crotch, saying, "Why did you stop?"

Duan Yun queried, "Why do I feel like I've traveled this way before?"

Brother Murong shared a similar feeling, saying, "This tomb raider's path is monotonous, I can't quite tell the difference."

Since entering this tomb raider's hole, they've been moving up and down, almost feeling like a haunting maze.

With a swish, Duan Yun scratched a deep mark on the tunnel wall and continued climbing.

After reaching the end, it was another downhill slide, and they continued to glide downward.

During this descent, they no longer felt the initial thrill.

Because both were somewhat worried, fearing a haunting maze-like situation.

Sure enough, after this slide, it was yet another upward hole.

Duan Yun climbed swiftly, ascending over a hundred steps before stopping, asking, "Did you see that mark from earlier?"

Brother Murong shook his head, saying, "No."

This pretty much confirmed they weren't looping, but continuously traversing different tunnels.

Though it wasn't a haunting maze, a peculiar feeling lingered in both of their hearts.

What was that vile rat thinking, and why did he make the tunnel so repetitively?

Furthermore, on what grounds did he dig the tunnel this deep?

Without a haunting maze, they chose not to turn back, continuing deeper.

Further down, the tunnel featured yet another extremely similar slope.

With a thud, when Duan Yun reached the bottom, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, it wasn't another straight-up tomb raider's hole, but an incline going upwards.

Repeating something too often not only feels eerie but also incites nausea.

Upon reaching this inclined cave, Duan Yun and Brother Murong realized the walls were no longer as smooth.

If previous sections were finely polished, here it felt more like unfinished construction.

Duan Yun couldn't help but furrow his brow, saying, "Why?"

"What do you mean?"

That vile rat's escape tunnel during our fight was quite refined.

Indeed, crafting such a smooth passage was likely a habit of the Rat Phase Wei Wuxing.

Changing one's habits is difficult.

Brother Murong questioned, "Could it be he lost strength by the time he got here?"

But this doesn't hold, considering an adept like Rat Phase, well-versed in tunnel crafting, running out of strength seemed unlikely.

Just then, Brother Murong widened his eyes suddenly, saying, "There's light ahead."

Duan Yun glanced over too, momentarily startled.

Indeed, there was light ahead, resembling the exit.

They proceeded towards the light.

Getting closer to the light, the sound of flowing water could be heard.

Upon hearing water, their first thought was the Netherworld.

Had they finally arrived?

But in the next moment, they abruptly stopped.

Because they were a mere ten steps away from the light, yet didn't see an exit.

As it was not an exit, but a glowing mirror.

A mirror emitting light.

The light spilled from the mirror, blocking the tunnel entrance, resembling an exit.

But the water sound confirmed an exit beyond.

Duan Yun kicked out, toppling the glowing mirror to the ground, revealing the tunnel entrance.

At this point, the entrance had widened considerably.

More accurately, this wasn't a tomb raider's cave, but a natural cavern.

The sound of water became clearer.

Duan Yun couldn't help but glance back at the mirror.

A mirror emitting light was peculiar in itself.

He looked a while and deduced it was likely due to the mirror's material.

It should be a unique kind of "fluorite" ground into the mirror, creating such a soft glowing effect.

Listening to the water, Duan Yun ignored it, pressing onward.

Brother Murong followed after.

Here, he no longer had to stoop, standing straight and much more comfortable.

After traversing about thirty steps, a gentle glimmer ahead appeared.

The glimmer was soft, clear.

Water's glow!

Suddenly, Brother Murong's eyes widened.

For in the glow, he saw women.

Women, unadorned, bathing.

Most strikingly, they had three or four breasts on their chests.

This had Brother Murong's eyes fixed open.

Such women truly existed!

Previously, before entering the tomb, they saw similar sculptures, assuming the female statues depicted a pig demon.

Yet now, these women were before them.

They were beautiful, stunning, their extra features not only undiscordant but adding a unique aesthetic.

A sense of abundance, ensuring the children wouldn't go hungry.

They bathed, akin to celestial beauties amidst daylight and water hues.

Soon, they noticed them, but showed no shyness, instead offering graceful, beautiful smiles.

Their bodies seemed to speak, as if saying—"Our beauty should indeed be appreciated by such men."

"If no one appreciates, wouldn't it be a waste?"

"Come, admire freely!"

Brother Murong's eyes were transfixed, cautiously advancing.

Suddenly, a phrase emerged in his ears—"I want to be a Great Hero!"

Brother Murong was startled, shouting, "I want to be a Great Hero!"

In the next instant, the scene before him changed.

Still that soft glow of water, except the alluring multi-breasted women were absent.

Instead, they were statuettes.

Multi-breasted women statuettes.

Immersed in the water, lifelike, but not actual people.

Brother Murong looked bewildered at Duan Yun.

He realized the earlier shout "I want to be a Great Hero!" was Duan Yun's doing; otherwise, he wouldn't have snapped out of it.

Duan Yun stated, "The water sounds! The water sounds here easily induce hallucinations."

This explained why the vile rat's tunnel construction wasn't neat around here.

Because he was caught up in hallucinations.
