Chapter 1148 

Anders personally opened a folding chair and offered Nash a seat. 

Zain recounted the situation in the tomb in detail. 

About a month ago, the Hex Bend Trench villagers discovered that a group of sneaky strangers had appeared in the village. 

They often asked the villagers about the Hex Bend Trench’s history 

and local folklore. 

The villagers were very wary at first, but the group generously distributed peanut oil and grains to the villagers. 

After receiving the benefits, the villagers lowered their guard with the 

group. 

Not long after, the group of strangers began to hide in the mountains 

and forests day and night. 

Therefore, some villagers called the Inspection Office.  Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The Inspection Office believed that this group of strangers was a tomb-robbing gang, so they contacted the municipal archaeologica 

team. 

That night, the municipal archaeological team came with several research experts overnight. They joined forces with the Inspection. 

Office to drive away the tomb robbers. 

Several experts and professors conducted geological surveys of the 

Hex Bend Trench. 

Geomancy experts who were adept in seeking locations analyzed that there was a large tomb beneath the Hex Bend Trench. 

They had even found the location of the tomb. 

Strangely, in the next few days, all the members of the archaeological team either had fevers or nightmares. 

The confrontation lasted for half a month. The municipal 

archaeological team then reported it to Capiton’s National Archaeological Team. 

Upon hearing this, the director immediately ordered Everett to lead his team to Hex Bend Trench. 

With the help of Zain, a raider, and Anders, a former member of the Tomb Whisperer Lineage, they quickly discovered the cause of the illness and nightmares of the former archaeological team members. 

There was a Dark Gathering Array hidden in the tomb. There was a large amount of dark energy gathered outside the tomb. With prolonged exposure, it would cause one’s light energy and breathing 

to weaken. 

The symptoms could range from nightmares and high fevers to severe bodily harm. 

Zain and Anders both had real power. They worked together to destroy the Dark Gathering Array, and the excavation work began. 

On the second day of the archaeological work, the tomb door was 

excavated. 

Just as the team was studying how to open the tomb door, the tomb 

door suddenly opened automatically 

Everyone thought they had accidentally touched the mechanism and did not pay attention at the time. Anders and Zain entered the corridor with a group of staff. 

After passing through the corridor, they entered the main tomb 

chamber. 

There was only one two-meter-tall bronze sculpture in the main tomb chamber. 

Just when they were about to take photos and study the sculpture, several archaeological team members fell into a coma. 

Even Anders and Zain, who often traveled underground, were not 

spared. 

On that day, an old man named Thibault Wood went in and took every comatose person out of the tomb. 

Thibault was safe and sound, so everyone asked him to help solve the mystery in the tomb. 

Thibault readily agreed and entered the tomb again. 

However, he became crazy when he came out of the tomb. 

“Judging from the carvings on the walls of the tomb, this should be the tomb of a warlock. The tombs of ordinary sorcerers are not this huge. So I’ve concluded that this is the tomb of a great warlock. The statue in the tomb is most likely what he looked like during his 

lifetime!” 

Zain held a pipe in his mouth, his eyes narrowing from the smoke. “A 

sorcerer’s status in the old society was not high. 

“Only during the Churog Ages did the status of sorcerers reach an unprecedented height. The tomb under our feet is comparable to the tomb of the king. I suspect that this is probably the tomb of a great warlock from the Churog Ages!” 

In the past, the Herera family was the leader in making a fortune from tomb raiding. The wealth accumulated by the family had long been 

inexhaustible. 

The reason why he joined the National Archaeological Team was to see more tombs that he had never seen before. 

Now, this great warlock’s tomb had aroused his curiosity. 

He had even made up his mind that even if he died in the tomb, he 

would die without regrets. 

After Nash thought for a moment, he said, “Let me go and take a look 

inside the tomb!” 

Zain knocked his pipe. “I’ll go too!” 

Anders glared at Zain. “I think you should stay put so that Mr. Calcr won’t have to worry about rescuing you!”
