Fan Tian finally realized he had fled!
He had confidently entered first, only to be killed and forced to flee in disarray. He was extremely embarrassed and speechless.
Hua Xiangrong stared into the passageway, her face filled with worry. "Miss Su, we encountered... we encountered many strange people. They had human bodies and snake tails. One of them was extremely powerful, and we couldn't defeat him..."
"Bai Gu Tian Mo is dead?" Su Luo was somewhat surprised.
"He didn't escape back; he's dead." Hua Xiangrong's tone was heavy.
This time, even Lu Jixing was astonished. Bai Gu Tian Mo was one of Demon Lord Fan Moluo's eight great envoys, yet he couldn't defeat some monsters with human bodies and snake tails? No wonder his junior sister said there was danger.
Just then, waves of residual energy arrived.
Hua Xiangrong's face changed. "Not good, that person is chasing us again!"
At the end of the passageway, a tall man appeared, holding a golden-hafted axe, his serpentine body writhing as he approached. His face was expressionless, and he repeatedly muttered, "You... dare to disturb my King's slumber. You deserve to die..."
"What do we do? This monster is out!"
Although Fan Tian was arrogant, he wasn't foolish. Seeing the enemy emerge, he instantly turned into sand and sank into the ground.
But the next moment, he reappeared, covered in dust.
This was the first time he couldn't burrow into the ground. There was some energy below that prevented him from sinking.
Fan Tian was completely panicked and shouted at Su Luo, "You brat, what are you standing around for? Hurry and think of a way! Otherwise, we'll all die here."
Su Luo said coldly, "What does your life or death have to do with me?"
She supported Lu Jixing to the side of the cave, seemingly unafraid.
Fan Tian faltered, once again rendered speechless by Su Luo.
He had witnessed the power of the man with the human body and snake tail. Although they were underground, he inexplicably couldn't turn to sand to escape. Angered and anxious, he watched as the man in golden armor drew closer and closer.
"You... dare to disturb my King's slumber..."
He repeated the phrase, his serpentine body twisting as he slithered over, his golden-hafted axe still stained with blood, exuding the threat of death.
Lu Jixing's eyes widened. There were indeed monsters with human bodies and snake tails!
Subconsciously, he shielded Su Luo behind him.
"Third Senior Brother, don't worry." Su Luo patted Lu Jixing's back.
The Divine Eye Mirror had already displayed this person's identity.
Qing Yi, the foremost expert under King Sheli. Naga of the Winged Clan. Saint realm sixth tier cultivation. His ultimate moves included 'Soul Seizing Sacred Word,' 'Sky Splitting Divine Slash,' 'Earth Annihilation Demon Kill,' and 'Luminous Purifying Fire'...
Tsk tsk, four ultimate moves alone, plus various secret techniques and immense strength. Truly worthy of being the Winged Clan's foremost expert.
Based on cultivation alone, Su Luo was definitely no match for this Winged Clan expert.
But she possessed a divine artifact – the Lotus Glazed Lamp.
As the great Winged Clan expert Qing Yi approached them with his strange, flickering serpentine steps, holding his golden giant axe, as if awakened from hell, Su Luo's hand lit up with a soft glow.
Lu Jixing, within the light's illumination, immediately felt his body go limp, his eyes almost unable to stay open.
He desperately wanted to sleep!
Su Luo, holding the Lotus Glazed Lamp, was completely unaffected. She simply supported Lu Jixing, helping him to stand steady.
"Oh, this is interesting!" Lu Jixing understood.
He used all his might to resist the wave of drowsiness. He glanced at the Lotus Glazed Lamp in Su Luo's hand, then at the man with the human body and snake tail. The latter's speed had also slowed, and he no longer repeated his threatening words.
It was indeed effective!
"Third Senior Brother, let's go in." Su Luo supported Lu Jixing and walked into the passageway.
As they passed Qing Yi, his eyes held a hint of confusion, and his gaze followed Su Luo's steps. However, the axe never swung down. Fan Tian and Hua Xiangrong were both stunned. Was this the power of a divine artifact?
Even this strange man was affected!
Su Luo ignored Fan Tian and Hua Xiangrong, carrying the Lotus Glazed Lamp into the passageway.
Given the situation, their only hope of escaping was to proceed. Although this ancient tomb was dangerous, she had the Lotus Glazed Lamp to weaken the enemy's killing intent and the Divine Eye Mirror to investigate the secrets of these Winged Clan members, possibly finding a way out.
The passageway had already been cleared by Fan Tian and the others. There was no black mist, and the lamps on the walls were lit.
Before long, Su Luo saw a mangled corpse on the ground, with blood splattered everywhere.
"I didn't expect Bai Gu Tian Mo to die so miserably." Lu Jixing was shocked. This was one of the top experts of the Demonic Sect, yet he died so tragically at the hands of a monster.
If ordinary cultivators encountered this, they would definitely perish in droves.
As Su Luo was about to step over Bai Gu Tian Mo's remains, she suddenly remembered something. She rummaged through her storage ring and found a large piece of white cloth.
She wrapped Bai Gu Tian Mo's head, placed it in an empty wooden box, and put it into her storage ring.
Lu Jixing looked curiously. "Junior Sister, why are you keeping his head?"
Su Luo replied, "To bring it back for the bounty."
You could do that?
Lu Jixing was even more curious. "Is his head worth a lot of money?"
Otherwise, why would his junior sister bring back Bai Gu Tian Mo's head despite the disgust?
Su Luo suppressed her revulsion, imagining Bai Gu Tian Mo's head as a pile of sparkling spirit coins. While wiping her hands, she smiled and said, "Third Senior Brother, you don't know. Bai Gu Tian Mo ranks fifteenth on the Black Market Hunter List. Someone is offering sixty-eight million spirit coins for his head."
"It really is valuable," Lu Jixing exclaimed, clicking his tongue.
This head had to be brought back no matter what!
Next time he encountered a disciple from the Demonic Sect, he would ask them how much their bounty was.
The two continued forward. At this moment, Su Luo looked back and saw that the Winged Clan's foremost expert, Qing Yi, had also followed.
He held his golden-hafted axe, his serpentine tail writhing silently behind him, making no sound, but exuding an even more eerie and strange atmosphere.
"Junior Sister, he... he's not going to attack, is he?" Lu Jixing's teeth chattered slightly.
"If he wanted to attack, he would have done so already."
Su Luo wasn't entirely sure herself, but she tried her best to stay calm, supporting Lu Jixing, whose legs were weak and who kept yawning, as they walked further in.
Outside the passageway, Fan Tian and Hua Xiangrong breathed a sigh of relief.
The monster's deterrence was too strong!
"If the Lotus Glazed Lamp can influence him, perhaps we won't die?" Fan Tian's mind raced, and greed resurfaced.
This might be the tomb of an Great Emperor. How could he give up so easily?
If he could snatch the divine artifact from Su Luo's hands, perhaps he could control those monsters and then all the treasures in the tomb would be his.
Fan Tian narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "We'll just follow them and wait for an opportunity."
Hua Xiangrong still hesitated, cautiously advising, "Young Master, it's truly too dangerous. Why don't we take advantage of the fact that the monsters aren't here yet and find a way to leave from above..."
Suddenly, Fan Tian's cold gaze shot towards her, and Hua Xiangrong could only swallow the rest of her words.
"Yes, Young Master." She could only re-enter the passageway and walk ahead.
Su Luo and Lu Jixing had already seen the shattered door.
Qing Yi still followed behind, quiet and unmoving. Su Luo glanced at him and could only enter.
Torches dispelled the darkness. Su Luo and Lu Jixing carefully walked along the edges and found several lamps, which they lit. The black mist receded like a tide, revealing the true appearance of this tomb chamber.
Spacious, tall, sacred, luxurious...
