Kairuot and the group passed through a series of twists and turns into a passageway. After a while, everything seemed to be going smoothly, with no hidden weapons or traps. They found themselves in complete darkness, having long lost track of their torches. Fortunately, aside from Belt, who did not have night vision, the others were capable of seeing in the dark.
Thus, Bel Purewood had to support Belt as they moved forward. Soon, they reached the end of the passage, where there stood a heavy stone door.
With their earlier experience of opening doors, they quickly managed to open the stone door and entered inside.
As soon as they stepped in, everyone was taken aback. The entire tomb chamber was illuminated by a perpetual lamp, clearly revealing everything within.
The group wandered around the spacious tomb chamber and discovered that it resembled a palace rather than a tomb. It was constructed like a grand palace with various halls, pavilions, artificial hills, flowing water, and small bridges. Astonishingly, the palaces, halls, and pavilions were filled with gold, jewels, jade artifacts, and rare treasures—an overwhelming sight that dazzled their eyes.
After pondering for a moment, Kairuot said affirmatively, "Looking at these structures, they really don't seem like the decorations of an ancient tomb. I suspect this used to be the palace of the Loulan Ancient Kingdom."
Li Girl, excited by the scene before her, exclaimed, "Who says this is an ancient tomb? It's simply a paradise on earth! We’re going to get rich!"
Seeing the ground covered in gold and silver treasures made Belt's eyes widen in disbelief. He joyfully danced around and said, "The legends are true! I’m rich! I’m rich!!" He picked up a gold coin to examine it and added, "This isn’t from my Tang Dynasty; the design seems to depict figures from Persia. But it’s made of gold—very valuable!" With that, he stuffed a handful of coins into his pocket.
"Don’t just focus on what’s in front of you," Kairuot frowned and reminded them. "Haven't you noticed how long this perpetual lamp has been burning? Clearly, someone has occupied this place beforehand."
Belt asked, "Who occupied this place?"
Li Girl replied, "Isn’t it obvious? It’s those Bandits who robbed us earlier."
Belt exclaimed in surprise, "They have so much treasure; they could live off it for generations! Why would they still resort to robbery?"
Kairuot speculated, "Their main goal in robbing us was probably to find food. Gold and jewels can’t be eaten."
"That's true," Belt said as he reached for a beautiful string of translucent jade beads nearby, but was abruptly pulled away by Li Girl. She said while pulling him, "Just look at you, you're like a greedy treasure hunter, your eyes are practically glowing green at the sight of riches!"
Belt, unwilling to give up, replied, "Now that we're here, can't you let me take some with me? You can't expect me to leave empty-handed!"
Li Girl didn't care about his complaints and deliberately spoke to scare him: "We haven't figured out the situation yet. What if that shining jade attracts some poisonous snakes or insects? Let's see how you handle that."
Her words indeed stunned Belt, who looked around nervously and obediently followed Li Girl.

The group arrived at the main hall of the ancient tomb. In the center of the hall lay a boat-shaped wooden coffin without a lid. Inside was a young and beautiful girl with her eyes tightly closed and a slight smile on her lips, as if she had just fallen asleep under a spell, her face adorned with a mysterious knowing smile.
Seeing the woman in the coffin, Belt quickly knelt down and bowed.
Li Girl looked at Belt in disbelief after he finished bowing and asked, "Who is this person inside?"
Belt told her, "She is the youngest and most beautiful Queen of the Robes from the legendary Loulan Ancient Kingdom."
The coffin had already been pried open, with the lid set aside. Fortunately, the queen's body remained undisturbed. Kairuot quickly called for Bel Purewood, and together they lifted the heavy coffin lid back into place.
At that moment, Kairuot sensed movement around them. He quietly warned everyone, "We might be surrounded; there are people lying in ambush all around us. Everyone needs to be careful."
The group quickly dispersed and hid behind a stone platform.
Unable to hold back any longer, Li Girl took the initiative—she threw several flying knives, which immediately resulted in screams and sounds of people falling. The bandits had initially planned to get closer and shoot Kairuot and his companions with crossbows without being noticed. Now that their position was exposed, Bel Six had no choice but to go all out and use their best weapons. Suddenly, arrows rained down from all directions, forcing Belt to huddle in a corner, trembling and too scared to move.
To avoid damaging the ancient tomb, Kairuot urged everyone to be cautious and not to strike too hard so as not to ruin anything inside.
Bel Six mistakenly judged Kairuot to have greatly diminished power after arriving on Earth, and thus ordered a full-scale attack on the people inside the main hall.
After a rain of arrows, the Bandits saw that there was no movement inside the main hall and assumed that the people inside had been shot dead. They brandished their swords and held Spear, shouting, "Kill them! Kill them! Don't let them escape!" as they charged toward the main hall.
Two Bandits had just entered the doorway of the main hall when Giant Bell Chunmu struck them, knocking their weapons from their hands. Like an eagle catching a chick, he grabbed one in each hand and swung them around in the air, using them as weapons to knock down the other Bandits rushing in from behind. Bandits from other directions rushed in through various windows, attempting to overwhelm the people inside the main hall with sheer numbers. The result was that for every one that came up, one was knocked down; even groups fell in droves. In no time, all the Bandit followers were captured.
Seeing the situation turn dire, Bel Six quietly slipped away.
After capturing all the Bandits, they found that only Bel Six was missing. It seemed that this grandson, who was always good at escaping, had already fled. After questioning several captives, they learned that there was a modified secret room nearby where Bel Six was likely hiding.
Kairuot quickly pursued in the direction of the secret room and arrived at its door, only to find it tightly shut. Without hesitation, Kairuot struck the door open with a palm and discovered an entirely different world inside—this secret room was indeed a small base for aliens, filled with dense instruments. He saw Bel Six standing before a central Command Platform covered with devices, preparing to press the automatic detonation system button... Kairuot immediately shouted a Warning to Bel Six not to do anything reckless.
Bel Six laughed maniacally: "Kairuot, from now on you will be forever with the Queen of the Robes!” After saying this, he pressed the automatic detonation button.
Realizing the danger, Kairuot leaped back to the doorway of the passage and slammed it shut behind him. He hurried back to the main hall to warn everyone to escape quickly.
Just as he spoke, a thunderous sound erupted as Bel Six detonated the nearby Capricornian Base. The explosion affected the entire ancient tomb, shaking it violently; large stones began to fall from above as it seemed like the tomb was collapsing. The Bandits, seeing this, panicked and fled for their lives.
In his escape, Belt did not forget to grab a handful of gold coins into his pocket. Li Girl, noticing this and feeling quite annoyed, shouted, “Hurry up! If we don’t leave soon, we’ll be buried in this tomb!”
Belt, stumbling behind, managed to follow along. Fortunately, everyone escaped just before the entire ancient tomb collapsed.
