The passage initially entering the mountain was very narrow, so narrow that the three of them had to crawl forward.
As they advanced through such a narrow passage, Yu Yan concluded that it was eighty percent likely not dug by this group of Bandits.
After all, if this group of Bandits had really dug it, how could they have made it so narrow?
While crawling forward, Yu Yan mentally complained about these Bandits. Since they chose this place as their base, they didn't even know to expand it; they were truly unprofessional.
After five minutes of crawling, light appeared ahead, and a space of considerable area entered Yu Yan's field of vision.
"Yu Yan, there are people ahead."
Xiao Wu, who had excellent hearing, pulled on Yu Yan's leg and whispered the situation ahead to him.
This was the only path to the Bandit base. If no one was guarding it, Yu Yan would really have to doubt the professional standards of these Bandits.
"Xiao Wu, let's switch positions. Once we get close, you use the Golden Rainbow Silk to take care of them."
The Golden Rainbow Silk, which was a natural Hidden Weapon made from plank crystal gold filament, was the most suitable tool for dealing with these Bandits at this time.
"Okay."
Xiao Wu nodded, and the two of them completed their swap in the passage, which had become wide enough at this point.
Using her trained ability to locate sounds, she locked onto several Bandits in the passage ahead. Moonlight Energy carried the Golden Rainbow Silk into the space ahead, precisely piercing the Bandits' necks, hearts, and mouths, successfully sending them to Hell.
Having dealt with the guarding Bandits, Yu Yan's group of three crawled out of the cramped and narrow passage. Standing in the small room inside the mountain, they looked around. The walls made of stacked bricks and stones further proved that this place was not built by the Bandits.
"Xiao Bai, it seems your guess was correct; this place indeed wasn't built by the Bandits."
Coming to the edge of the space, Yu Yan wiped his hand over the bricks and tapped them lightly. He judged that the material of these bricks was very ancient, and then from the traces left by time on the bricks, he judged that they must have existed for a long time.
"I—I remember now. This is a burial chamber. The passage we just came through should be a robber's hole dug by tomb raiders."
Entering this space and seeing the surroundings, Bai Chenxiang finally remembered why it felt familiar. When she was a child, her grandfather had told her about these things while telling stories.
"A robber's hole dug by tomb raiders?"
"Are we inside a dead person's burial chamber?"
Hearing that this was actually a dead person's burial chamber, Xiao Wu's face showed quite a bit of surprise. She never thought that one day she would actually step into a dead person's tomb.
Bai Chenxiang nodded in response to Xiao Wu's searching gaze and explained to Yu Yan and Xiao Wu: "I can only roughly judge that this is a tomb and that the deceased had a high status while alive. There's too little other information, so I shouldn't make random guesses."
Yu Yan could also judge that the deceased had a high status while alive.
After all, if it were someone without status, they wouldn't be able to build a tomb of such a scale inside a mountain.
Following this line of thought, this group of Bandits either discovered this place and used it as their lair, or they were tomb raiders themselves.
"Let's continue forward for now."
Pulling his thoughts back, Yu Yan, as the backbone of the trio, made a decision.

"Let's continue forward for now."
Pulling his thoughts back, Yu Yan, as the backbone of the trio, made a decision.
Xiao Wu had no objections to this decision. Yu Yan had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that allowed him to fight above his level, and she also had the Golden Rainbow Silk which allowed her to fight above her level; she wasn't afraid at all.
With Yu Yan and Xiao Wu, who were responsible for fighting, having made their decision, Bai Chenxiang, who didn't need to fight, naturally had no objections.
Advancing through the tomb, any Bandits they passed were killed by Xiao Wu using the Golden Rainbow Silk to pierce their vital parts. These were all beasts who lived by robbing and looting; Xiao Wu, who had already wiped out many Bandits and robbers on the Ice Soul Grassland, would not show any mercy.
As the exploration went deeper, Yu Yan discovered more evidence in the mountain's internal space proving that this place was a burial chamber for the dead.
Tattered but ancient-styled pottery jars, abstract murals on the walls, weathered cultural relics, and so on; these were all very important pieces of evidence.
The area of the burial chamber was far larger than the three of them had imagined, which also made them realize the extraordinary nature of this tomb.
After passing through eight or nine burial chambers of varying sizes, the three arrived at a relatively large burial chamber. In this obviously different chamber, Yu Yan saw the Third Leader of the Bandits, a Two-Ring Great Soul Master in his twenties.
Gesturing the next move to Xiao Wu with his hand, Yu Yan and Xiao Wu attacked together.
The Moonlight Energy that had been circling Xiao Wu relentlessly harvested the lives of the Bandits in the burial chamber with the Golden Rainbow Silk.
The Ice Fish of the Ice and Fire Twin Fish attached to his left hand, the second spirit ring encased his left arm, and the Profound Ice Chain, with lightning speed, quickly bound and restrained the Third Leader of the Bandits. The chain blocked his mouth, suppressing his struggling cries for help.
"You two are really amazing."
Following behind them and having done nothing, Bai Chenxiang looked at Yu Yan and Xiao Wu, who had easily settled everything, her eyes full of admiration.
"It's alright; it's mainly because these guys are just too weak."
Xiao Wu answered the question modestly. She didn't feel there was anything to be proud of in defeating these weaklings.
While the two were talking, Yu Yan came to the side of the Third Leader of the Bandits, who was bound by the Profound Ice Chain, and crouched down to stare into his eyes: "I'm going to ask you some things next. Answer my questions quietly and don't make a fuss, understand?"
The Third Leader of the Bandits stared at Yu Yan's calm, emotionless eyes for a moment, then nodded up and down to show he understood.
Waving his hand to release the ice block blocking the Third Leader's mouth, Yu Yan questioned: "Why are you people appearing in this Great Tomb? Is it because you're using this as your lair, or because you're tomb raiders yourselves?"
Yu Yan could distinguish between the importance of wiping out the Bandits and whether this imperial tomb had been looted clean.
"Are you guys in the same trade?"
The Third Leader of the Bandits sized Yu Yan up for a while with a strange look. He didn't answer Yu Yan's question but instead asked about Yu Yan's identity.
When coming to wipe out the Bandits, Yu Yan had already put away everything that could reveal his identity, so the Third Leader failed to discover who he was.
"Note that I am the one asking you questions, not you asking me."
Yu Yan clenched his palm, and the Profound Ice Chain tightened accordingly, causing the Third Leader of the Bandits no small amount of pain.
"Hmph~" The Third Leader of the Bandits gave Yu Yan a disdainful snort. He suddenly turned his head toward the depths of the tomb and shouted: "Inform the Boss! A very powerful kid has come, tell him to be careful!!!"
The Third Leader's voice carried over, causing the Bandits located in the burial chambers further ahead to notice the commotion. The sound of messy footsteps drew closer and closer.
