The more traces he saw, the more curious and puzzled he became about what had happened before. He wanted to quickly reach the end of the tomb to see for himself what was there, but the tunnel seemed endless, stretching on for more than a kilometer, judging by Xiao Buli's running speed after five or six minutes of fast pacing.
Finally, a massive door appeared in front of Xiao Buli, guarded by two stone statues that clearly bore the style of exotic lands. The statues—one male and the other female—were easily distinguishable by their physical features. The male's physique was robust, and the female's, graceful. Originally, they would have been beautiful statues, but eerily, the male statue sported a tiger's head, and the female, a serpent's. The fearsome beastly heads looked jarring atop human bodies.
One half of the stone door was tightly shut, while the other half had been blasted into fragments, allowing Xiao Buli to walk through unimpeded.
