After passing through the long, pitch-black tomb passage, suddenly, the surroundings brightened.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone was astonished.
What appeared before them was a valley.
Birds were singing, flowers were blooming, and trees were lush with leaves. It was a true paradise on Earth.
In Chris’s memory, tombs were the final resting places of the deceased, filled with cold, oppressive, and deathly atmospheres.
But what was before them looked like a peach blossom haven, not at all like a tomb!
Chris turned to Peter Jefferson and asked, “Old man, what’s going on?”
Seeing the shock on Chris and the others’ faces, Peter Jefferson displayed a smug expression.
He laughed and said, “When my ancestor built the tomb, he chose this place. After penetrating the belly of Golden Top Mountain, there was a rarely visited valley.”
“My ancestor took ten years to transform this valley into his burial ground!”
As he spoke, Peter Jefferson’s face grew serious, “However, you must all be careful. After my ancestor transformed this place, there are dangerous mechanisms and traps everywhere. One misstep, and you won’t even know how you died.”
Upon hearing this, everyone’s hearts shuddered.
They had already witnessed the mechanisms at the tomb entrance.
Thousands of martial artists were killed instantly by a barrage of arrows.
It was truly terrifying!
Thus, no one dared to be careless!
Seeing everyone’s solemn expressions, Peter Jefferson laughed again and said, “But don’t worry, as long as you follow me, there should be no problem!”
Chris looked deeply at Peter Jefferson and said, “Old man, be careful not to lead us all into a trap!”
Chris had a deep understanding of this cunning old man.
He had been tricked by him several times before.
Outside, this old man knew about the tomb door’s mechanisms but didn’t say anything.
As a result, thousands of martial artists were killed.
These were all lessons from the past!
Now, inside the tomb, there were traps and mechanisms everywhere.
And they didn’t have a map.
They had to rely on Peter Jefferson to guide them.
If they were tricked by him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
They might not even know how they died.
So, Chris felt it was necessary to warn him in advance, lest Peter Jefferson tried some cunning move!
Peter Jefferson gave Chris a disdainful look and said, “Don’t worry, you brat! I’m counting on you to help me guard the Dragon Emblem fragment. How could I trick you?”
“Besides, I reminded you about the danger at the tomb entrance beforehand. Do you think I’m unreliable?”
Peter Jefferson was extremely annoyed by Chris’s doubt.
Was it necessary to hold a grudge just because he tricked him into coming to Jefferson Village and stirring up trouble?
What a petty fellow!
He wondered if Henry Jefferson had been blind back then.
How could he have chosen such a strange person to be the son-in-law of the Jefferson family?
No wonder Chris caused the family’s destruction! He deserved it!
Seeing Peter Jefferson’s angry expression, Chris chuckled awkwardly.
He had indeed been somewhat unfair in his judgment.
“Old man, I was just giving you a heads up. Why are you so mad?”
Peter Jefferson rolled his eyes.
He didn’t want to talk to Chris anymore.
He had barely managed to live to a hundred years old.
If he continued to argue with Chris, he’d likely be angered to death by this scoundrel!
“Let’s go!”
Without wasting any more words, Peter Jefferson walked straight towards the depths of the valley.
Chris and the others followed.
Since Peter Jefferson had said so, it meant that the old man was indeed trustworthy!
