The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 207 Bronze Gate

Chapter 152 Disturbance

Chen Xiao walked forward, and in a moment, he arrived at the entrance of the cave dwelling, a distance of over a hundred meters.

The bronze gate was tightly closed, covered with copper rust. It seemed that the door had not been opened for a very long time.

That also meant that Xuan Mingzi might not be here.

Chen Xiao's heart sank. He had originally thought he could find Xuan Mingzi as soon as he came down, but now it seemed he was heading further and further down the wrong path.

But now that he was here, Chen Xiao couldn't just turn around without entering.

What's more, Chen Xiao had no better clues to pursue.

"Boss Chen, is this a monster cave? Could there be monsters inside?"

Gongsun Yi asked, trembling.

However, he wasn't afraid, but excited.

As he said, he was born with a love for adventure and excitement, the kind of personality that thrived on chaos.

Chen Xiao didn't bother to pay attention to him. Shi Ling said in a muffled voice, "Bullshit monster cave, this is clearly an ancient tomb!"

Gongsun Yi was slightly stunned upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Brother Shi is indeed knowledgeable. My name is Gongsun Yi, and I hope Brother Shi will guide me in the future!"

Gongsun Yi thought that since they were going to explore together, it would be best to maintain a good relationship with his companions.

However, Shi Ling obviously didn't think so: "Brother Shi my ass, I've lived for thousands of years, you're not even qualified to be my grandson!"

How dare a mere human try to get close to this venerable one, so disrespectful.

Chen Xiao glared at Shi Ling: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and think of a way, how are we going to get in?"

Shi Ling, who didn't think much of mere humans, was immediately frightened by Chen Xiao's glare. He quickly went forward to explore and then said, "It's easy to get in, there's no danger inside!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao kicked the bronze door, and the lock instantly fell off.

Squeak—

A dry opening sound rang out as the two bronze doors slowly opened.

A musty, decayed smell assaulted his nostrils, and Chen Xiao quickly covered his nose.

"So smelly!"

Gongsun Yi also quickly covered his nose.

Just then, a black shadow suddenly flew out, heading straight for Chen Xiao and Gongsun Yi.

Gongsun Yi took a closer look and discovered that what was flying towards them was a person, but not entirely a person.

He was wearing ancient clothes, but his skin was shriveled, his body was stiff, and his nails were black, long, and extremely sharp.

Especially his mouth, with two sharp fangs sticking out, looking very terrifying.

"Damn, it's a zombie! Didn't you say there was no danger inside?"

Chen Xiao cursed at Shi Ling.

Shi Ling said aggrievedly, "I only said there were no traps at the entrance, who knew there would be zombies inside?"

Gongsun Yi took a stride forward: "Let me deal with it!"

After all, Gongsun Yi was a Heavenly Ranking expert, and his first reaction when encountering a strong enemy was to fight.

His skills were honed in countless battles.

But fighting a zombie was a first for him in his life.

Gongsun Yi's moves were expansive and powerful, with one palm after another, creating bursts of explosive sound in the air.

However, hitting the zombie... the effect was greatly reduced.

It wasn't that there was no effect at all, but the effect wasn't as obvious.

Zombies didn't feel pain. No matter how powerful Gongsun Yi's moves were, as long as they didn't defeat the enemy with one strike, the zombie would immediately bounce back up and continue to fight him.

The good news was that the zombie couldn't do anything to Gongsun Yi either. Although it was fast and strong... that was only in comparison to ordinary people. For Gongsun Yi, a Heavenly Ranking expert, it was still bearable.

Finally, after five minutes, Gongsun Yi used all his skills to subdue the zombie, rendering it unable to move.

Gongsun Yi breathed a sigh of relief, patted the dust off his hands, and said nonchalantly, "Got it, dealt with!"

The reason he chose to take the initiative was to show off in front of Chen Xiao and Shi Ling, proving that he wasn't useless.

Chen Xiao watched leisurely from the side, tilted his head, and asked, "Dealt with? Are you sure?"

"Of course, look at him, he can't move anymore."

Gongsun Yi pointed at the zombie on the ground, whose head had been smashed by Gongsun Yi's palm, and was indeed dead as could be.

Chen Xiao shrugged and said indifferently, "Then look behind you."

Gongsun Yi turned his head and was immediately shocked, almost scared out of his wits.

He saw another group of zombies flying out from the bronze door. At a rough glance, there must have been at least a hundred of them.

It was already so difficult for Gongsun Yi to deal with one zombie. Not to mention a hundred of them, even two or three together would push him to the brink of despair.

At this moment, Shi Ling flew into the air, glared at Gongsun Yi, and shouted, "Human, get out of the way!"

Actually, there was no need for Shi Ling to say anything. Gongsun Yi had already run far away. He wouldn't dare to risk his life against so many zombies!

Seeing Gongsun Yi run far away, Shi Ling suddenly let out an angry roar.

"Roar!!!"

A gust of wind swept through, and the clothes on the zombies' bodies fluttered in the wind.

However, they were mostly mindless creatures and had no reaction to Shi Ling's roar.

Their lack of reaction only served to enrage Shi Ling even more!

"Damn, daring to underestimate this venerable one, you will pay the price!"

Shi Ling was so angry that he cursed, then opened his mouth, and countless wind blades spewed out from his huge mouth, flying towards the group of zombies.

Swish—

Swish—

Swish—

Wherever the wind blades passed, the zombies were cut to pieces.

Even though their bodies were still moving in two pieces, those whose heads were cut off were no longer able to move.

"Roar!"

Then, Shi Ling spat out another round of wind blades, gleefully reaping the already dead lives of the zombies.

After three rounds of wind blades, all the zombies fell to the ground, completely devoid of life.

Gongsun Yi was completely stunned. He had originally looked down on Shi Ling because he saw how afraid he was of Chen Xiao.

But after seeing this scene, he could only be grateful.

He was grateful that he hadn't talked back when Shi Ling cursed at him earlier, or else he might already be in two pieces.

Chen Xiao also frowned when he saw this scene: "When did your strength recover?"

Shi Ling glanced at Chen Xiao triumphantly: "I just absorbed so much spiritual energy, which has helped me recover about eighty percent of my strength. If I could stay here for a few more days, my strength could return to its peak."

Chen Xiao was stunned and sighed inwardly. A born spiritual body was indeed a born spiritual body, directly crushing humans in terms of cultivation.

After marveling for a moment, Chen Xiao was about to step into the bronze door.

Just then, a low, yet as loud as a bell, sound suddenly arrived!

"Who is disturbing this venerable one's rest?"
