"Brother Ding is simply too formidable. I never expected Brother Ding’s strength to reach such a level. Thinking of how we mocked him before, it’s really laughable..."

"This time we truly have to thank Brother Ding. If it weren’t for him, we all might have died at the hands of this fusion giant. Such terrifying strength, it’s really out of our league!"

At this moment, everyone around looked toward Ding Fan with admiration in their eyes. After dealing with the fusion giant, a sense of relief flashed in Ding Fan’s eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Everyone, now that the fusion giant has finally been dealt with, we can safely search for the Sirius Tomb..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, each person showed a faint hint of embarrassment in their eyes, and after a slight flicker, they spoke softly to Ding Fan:

"Brother Ding, we are truly not qualified to venture into the Sirius Tomb. Brother Ding, your strength is undoubtedly the strongest here; I believe only you have the qualification for the Sirius Tomb!"

"That’s right, we are simply dreaming about the Sirius Tomb. If it weren’t for you, Brother Ding, who knows how many times we would have died today. I believe only you, Brother Ding, have the qualification for the Sirius Tomb!"

At this point, everyone around earnest-ly expressed their admiration to Ding Fan.

Hearing the voices of the crowd, Ding Fan’s eyes revealed a touch of calmness, his gaze slightly flickered, and then he spoke softly to the crowd:

"Everyone, the way to enter the Sirius Tomb is to gather the nine pieces of the Treasure Map. If you all don’t come in, I fear I won’t be able to enter the Sirius Tomb alone..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a smile appeared in everyone’s eyes and the corners of their mouths subtly lifted. They nodded at Ding Fan with a smile and said:

"Since Brother Ding says so, then to the Sirius Tomb, we will accompany Brother Ding on this journey!"

Hearing their words, the corners of Ding Fan’s mouth slowly lifted into a curve, and he spoke softly to them:

"Thank you all..."

Meanwhile, Xia Ling and the Yuan brothers, hiding aside, showed excitement in their eyes as they saw the fusion giant completely defeated. With light steps, they quickly moved to Ding Fan’s side and excitedly said to him:

"Brother Ding, you’re truly amazing! That powerful fusion giant actually fell at your hands!"

Listening to Xia Ling’s words, the corners of Ding Fan’s mouth slowly formed a curve, his gaze slightly flickered, and then he calmly replied to Xia Ling:

"It was just luck..."

Hearing Ding Fan’s words, a hint of playful scolding flashed across Xia Ling’s eyes, as the corners of her mouth upturned slightly, and she softly retorted:

"Luck is also a kind of strength!"

Hearing Xia Ling’s words, a smile appeared on Ding Fan’s face. At that moment, the Yuan brothers slowly approached Ding Fan, their eyes full of admiration and with a burning glow in their eyes. After a moment of contemplation, they spoke worshipfully to Ding Fan:

"Brother, you’re truly incredible. I never imagined that even such a formidable fusion giant would be dealt with by you. Now, all these people owe you their lives!"

Listening to the Yuan brothers’ words, Ding Fan’s brow slowly furrowed, his gaze flickering slightly, and he replied quietly:

"Don’t talk like that in the future, I chose to do all this willingly..."

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a hint of fear flashed in the eyes of the Yuan brothers. They nodded lightly and bowed in acknowledgment.

After ensuring the fusion giant was thoroughly dealt with, Ding Fan’s body slowly moved beside the fusion giant. Seeing the giant lying on the ground, bleeding continuously, a thoughtful expression flickered in his gaze as his hand slowly reached out to touch the fusion giant’s body.

Seeing Ding Fan’s actions, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of those around, their gazes slightly flickering, momentarily unsure of what Ding Fan was doing.

"Brother Ding, what are you doing?"

Seeing Ding Fan’s actions, the crowd asked curiously. Hearing their inquiries, a soft smile appeared on Ding Fan’s lips, his gaze slightly flickered, and he replied quietly:

"Nothing, I just want to see why this fusion giant’s skin and flesh have such incredible defensive power?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a look of realization appeared in everyone’s eyes. To be honest, the horrifying defensive power of the fusion giant also stunned them.

After staring at the fusion giant’s corpse for a bit, the crowd gradually lost interest and walked away. But when Ding Fan placed his hand on the fusion giant’s body, a flash of brilliance appeared in his eyes, his gaze flickering slightly, and a shocking expression quickly spread across his face.

"So that’s it..."

At this moment, Ding Fan looked at the corpse of the fusion giant on the ground and murmured to himself, while a strange smile slowly formed at the corner of his mouth.

In that instant, when no one was watching, Ding Fan gently took a black crystal from the fusion giant’s body.

After acquiring the black crystal, a look of satisfaction flashed across Ding Fan’s face. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and then slowly spoke to the surrounding crowd:

"Everyone, based on my analysis, the entrance to the Sirius Tomb should be inside this chamber!"

Upon hearing Ding Fan’s words, a glimmer of surprise streaked across everyone’s eyes. They exchanged glances with puzzled expressions before turning to Ding Fan in astonishment and asking:

"The entrance to the Sirius Tomb is inside this chamber? How is that possible! We’ve reached the end of this chamber, and there’s no other way into Sirius’s Tomb. Besides, with the fusion giant guarding here, how could this be the entrance to the Sirius Tomb?"

"Brother Ding, is the entrance to the Sirius Tomb really here? How do you know that?"

All eyes filled with surprise, they turned towards Ding Fan’s direction.

Listening to the crowd, Ding Fan frowned deeply, his eyes flickering. He then spoke eerily to the crowd:

"Do you remember the paintings we saw on the mural earlier?"

After Ding Fan’s words, everyone paused to think, their faces showing contemplative expressions, before asking Ding Fan, puzzled:

"Brother Ding, there seems to be no clues on that mural. The only thing we know is the three monsters we’ve encountered..."

"Apart from these, we haven’t found anything of value on the mural..."

In response to the crowd’s words, Ding Fan’s mouth formed a slight arc, and after a moment, he spoke eerily to them:

"You only noticed one thing, but you don’t know the mural is hiding many secrets. Before you entered this chamber, the mural only showed the monsters we have all seen. However, whenever we dealt with one monster, the patterns on the mural would decrease..."

When the crowd heard Ding Fan’s words, a glimmer of shock appeared in each of their eyes as they stared in disbelief at Ding Fan and said:

"What? The patterns on the mural decrease? How is that possible!? We clearly remember seeing those monsters on the wall..."

"We’ve definitely seen these monsters on the wall..."

Listening to their words, a subtle arc formed at the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth as he spoke eerily to those around:

"After you entered this chamber, I saw with my own eyes how the patterns on the mural slowly vanished..."

As the group listened to Ding Fan, each of their eyes was filled with disbelief. When they finally composed themselves, they turned their heads to the walls of the chamber, where the image of the fusion giant had already vanished without a trace.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with horror, and, mouths agape, they said:

"How has the picture of the giant on the wall disappeared? This is just too frightening. I can’t believe Brother Ding was telling the truth!"

"This Sirius Tomb is really strange. I wonder what Sirius was thinking, setting up so many tests in his own tomb..."

Seeing the group’s horror, a subtle arc appeared at the corner of Ding Fan’s mouth. He paused his speech before slowly stating:

"The mural hides many secrets that we hadn’t noticed. It’s almost like a series of tasks; every time we complete one, the progress advances further."

Hearing Ding Fan’s words, each person was filled with shock and asked Ding Fan with astonishment:

"Brother Ding, but how far have we progressed? The enemies we face are getting stronger, and we truly fear encountering an opponent we cannot defeat..."

After hearing their concerns, Ding Fan squinted slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke to them:

"After dealing with the fusion giant, we shouldn’t encounter any particularly strong monsters for a while..."

When Ding Fan said this, relief flickered across the eyes of the surrounding crowd.
