Tomb Raiding: Devouring Veins, Swallowing the Queen of Jingjue from the Start

The moment Hu Bayi peeled back the curse of the ghost eye on his back, a bloody fissure suddenly split open across Li Wenjie's palm, where a Taotie pattern lay. The phantom image of the Snake God on the murals of the Ancient City of Jingjue was forcibly torn free and transformed into a thread of crimson-gold bloodline, which sank into the bamboo slips in his hand. On the blank pages of the Scroll of Burial Veins, the ink marks of Xiangliu's nine heads appeared before their eyes. “Master Can, this curse...” Before Wang Pangzi could finish speaking, Li Wenjie had already tossed a pill refined from the Snake God's bloodline to Shirley Yang. The phoenix tattoo on A Ning's chest suddenly shrieked, but the remnant soul of Yinglong that shot out of the bamboo slips forced it back against her collarbone. When the Queen Mother's corpse beetles smashed through the bronze gates of the Celestial Palace above the clouds, the group discovered in horror that every beetle's shell bore the pattern of the Candle Dragon's inverse scales that Li Wenjie had devoured the night before!
