Chapter 971 - 702: Explosion

Hearing Xia Liang’s words, Nakamura Komachi’s face turned dark; there wasn’t a single word Xia Liang said that he would believe.If he really were just a Tour Guide, at this point these Dragon Nation Army special forces would have already escorted him out. How could he still be here?

"Surrender and be captured. You’re not getting out of here."

Xia Liang said.

"Surrender and be captured? Hahaha, Xia Liang, this time I really did miscalculate. I didn’t expect you to be this strong, and on top of that a man from the Dragon Country military. But you think that means we really have no way out?"

As Nakamura Komachi spoke, he directly opened his clothes, and they saw that he actually had bombs strapped to his body.

Besides him, Kawai Matsutake and Kurokawa Motoishi were the same; they also had explosives on them. They really intended to stake everything on one throw.

"Xia Liang, as long as these bombs go off, this place will collapse completely. I’m a dying man anyway—having you buried with me isn’t so bad."

Nakamura Komachi said with a cold laugh.

"Of course, if you don’t want to die with me, then get out of here right now. Once I get what I want, I’ll naturally leave."

Xia Liang narrowed his eyes slightly. He hadn’t expected these bastards to be this well-prepared—they even brought bombs.

The guy wasn’t wrong about one thing: under normal circumstances, if these bombs exploded, this place would definitely cave in, and by then none of them would escape.

Of course, that was only under normal circumstances.

"You’re after the Seven-Star Lamp, right? That’s just a legend; it’s not something you can take at face value."

Xia Liang said coldly.

"So what if it’s just a legend? Which one of you dares guarantee it isn’t real?"

Nakamura Komachi shouted angrily. Even if it was fake, he had to try before he’d know.

"Stubborn to the end. If you still won’t surrender now, don’t blame us for making a move."

Gunpowder snorted off to the side, and at the same time a red laser dot settled on Nakamura Komachi’s forehead.

"Then let’s see what’s faster—your guns or my bombs."

Nakamura Komachi showed not a trace of fear. At this point, he’d long since stopped being afraid of death.

Even Kawai Matsutake and Kurokawa Motoishi wore a look of going-to-their-deaths, ready at any moment to trigger the bombs on their bodies.

Gunpowder frowned. He hadn’t expected it to deadlock like this. If he’d known, he would’ve opened fire as soon as they came out and put a bullet in these three.

"Kurokawa, open the coffin. We’ll hold them here."

Nakamura Komachi no longer paid attention to Xia Liang and the others. He turned to Kurokawa Kiseki as he spoke.

Kurokawa Motoishi nodded, then forced himself to endure the pain in his leg and began pushing the coffin lid.

The coffin here was strange—it wasn’t nailed shut. The bronze lid wasn’t light, but under Kurokawa Kiseki’s strength, it was still pried open bit by bit.

When the lid was finally fully opened, Kurokawa Kiseki looked inside and saw a skeleton about a foot long lying within, with a thoroughly rotten feather fan at its side.

"Mr. Nakamura, there’s a corpse in here, and a decayed feather fan. It should be Zhuge Liang."

Kurokawa Motoishi said.

Hearing this, Nakamura Komachi’s eyes lit up. After searching for so long, he had finally found Zhuge Liang.

"Is there a Seven-Star Lamp in there?"

Nakamura Komachi asked in haste.

Kurokawa Motoishi didn’t answer immediately. He searched around inside for a while and quickly found a wooden box. Though thousands of years had passed, the box had not rotted.

"There’s also a box inside. There are characters written on it: ’Seven-Star Lamp’. This box is very likely holding the Seven-Star Lamp."

Kurokawa Motoishi said quickly.

"Hahaha, we found it, we finally found it! Kurokawa, take the box out for me. Let’s see if this Seven-Star Lamp is real or not."

Nakamura Komachi burst out laughing, but in his excitement, he forgot one crucial point.

Since there was a Seven-Star Lamp inside the coffin, why would Zhuge Liang leave an inscription outside the coffin saying the Seven-Star Lamp was inlaid on the coffin itself?

Under normal circumstances, Nakamura Komachi would definitely have questioned this, but surrounded by Xia Liang and the others, and with the Seven-Star Lamp suddenly appearing, he had completely stopped thinking.

Kurokawa Motoishi nodded, reached out toward the wooden box, and quickly realized that the box felt as heavy as a thousand catties—he simply couldn’t lift it.

"What’s going on?"

Kurokawa Motoishi was stunned. It was just a wooden box; how could it be so heavy?

Thinking this, he was about to let go and then grab it again with both hands. But the instant he loosened his grip, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

"Ka....."

The sound made everyone pause for a moment. The entire tomb chamber was deathly quiet, so this noise was extremely abrupt. The first to react were Nakamura Komachi and Xia Liang’s group, because they’d heard this sound before—it was the sound of a mechanism being triggered.

"Move, now!"

Xia Liang roared at once. The other team members didn’t know what had happened, but they didn’t hesitate; they turned and started retreating toward the exit.

"No!"

Nakamura Komachi’s heart also jolted. He quickly looked over at Kurokawa Motoishi.

"...."

The next second, the oil on the floor started to boil, and the first layer of flame swept out, carpeting the entire tomb chamber.

"Kurokawa, run!"

Kawai Matsutake shouted, but it was already too late.

The oil burned incredibly fast. Once that first layer of flame spread out, the fire instantly grew fiercer, taking over the whole tomb chamber.

"Mr. Nakamura, run!"

"Aaaah...."

Wrapped in flames, Kurokawa Motoishi let out a miserable scream. At the same time, the explosives on his body were ignited by the fire.

"Boom boom....."

Explosions rang out again and again. The flames in the tomb roared in all directions, like a fire dragon raging inside, constantly surging outward.

Nakamura Komachi and Kawai Matsutake had already turned to flee, but they were still caught by the blast of the flames, blown off their feet and slammed into the wall, where they blacked out on the spot.

"Boom boom....."

The explosions continued, and the entire grave complex howled in protest as countless rocks rained down. Cracks opened one after another overhead.

"Grab them and move!"

Xia Liang and the others hadn’t fully withdrawn either. As he spoke, he hoisted Kawai Matsutake and Nakamura Komachi onto his shoulders and ran toward the outside.

It wasn’t that Xia Liang suddenly felt merciful and really wanted to save these two.

The main thing was that they also had bombs strapped to them. If those got ignited, a tomb that otherwise wouldn’t collapse might very well come down for real.

Very soon, the group rushed through the passage and once again emerged at the canyon entrance.

"Boom...."

To their surprise, the explosions still hadn’t stopped; if anything, they were getting more intense.

"What the hell? Do the Japs’ bombs pack that much punch?"

Gunpowder asked, looking baffled.

"Probably not. Their bombs should only be a fuse. There’s likely a lot more oil in that tomb than what we saw just now."

Xia Liang took a deep breath and said.
