Bai Ye walked forward, looking at the stone figures. With a flip of his wrist, a new deck of cards appeared in his hand.
Bai Ye didn't know if these stone figures were the guardian spirits of this chamber, as the Tomb of King Huai was filled with many such creatures, and Bai Ye hadn't encountered them all in his previous life.
However, in the current situation, these stone figures seemed to be the only anomaly.
Taking out the cards, Bai Ye casually flung them forward. The cards spun through the air before embedding themselves into the stone figures, densely pinning them.
Indeed, after being attacked, the stone figures moved, shaking their bodies and shedding large amounts of dust. They then strode towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye raised his hand and threw cards again. The cards spun, continuously embedding themselves into the stone figures. However, Bai Ye soon frowned. Although his cards were constantly embedding themselves into the stone figures, they didn't seem to be very effective.
The cards kept embedding themselves into the stone figures. While they could create cracks, they couldn't deliver a fatal blow.
Bai Ye mused as he slowly shifted his position, creating distance between himself and the stone figures.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Bai Ye.
"Great Inventor!"
Great Inventor (Supernatural Ability): Once every hour, can randomly invent one technological item.
Bai Ye suddenly activated the Great Inventor ability. Although it was a white gacha, there might be a surprise.
In an instant, a white light appeared before Bai Ye. Following that, a pile of miscellaneous parts fell from the light.
"Can it create things out of thin air?" Bai Ye looked at the pile of parts and said, "I wonder what technological item can be assembled."
While Bai Ye was thinking, the fallen parts began to assemble themselves. Soon...
A flashlight appeared before Bai Ye.
Bai Ye's expression instantly became bewildered. Why a flashlight? Does your definition of a technological item include flashlights?
"No, no, it just looks like a flashlight. Maybe when you turn it on, it transforms into a lightsaber?"
Bai Ye comforted himself as he picked up the flashlight.
Solar-powered flashlight: A flashlight that uses solar energy. It can light up as long as there is sunlight. The drawback is that it will absolutely not light up when there is no sunlight.
Bai Ye: "??"
Bai Ye tilted his head. This seemed like a very remarkable technological item?
It was at this moment that a gust of wind suddenly appeared before Bai Ye.
Looking up, he saw that the stone figures had already reached him.
One stone figure, holding a stone spear, swept it horizontally towards Bai Ye, attacking him from above.
Bai Ye snapped back to reality and instinctively leaned backward, avoiding the stone spear. At the same time, he kicked the stone figure in the chest, knocking it away.
The next moment, Bai Ye raised the high-frequency serrated blade.
The serrated blades on both sides spun rapidly, emitting a piercing sound. Then, Bai Ye forcefully swept the high-frequency serrated blade forward.
With a swish!
The spinning serrated blades struck the stone figures. The sensation at that moment made Bai Ye feel like he was chopping vegetables. The stone figures' rather sturdy bodies were completely defenseless against the high-frequency serrated blade. They were easily cut apart, and half of their bodies fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.
"As expected, the blue gacha is reliable!"
A hint of joy appeared on Bai Ye's face. This item was even better than he had imagined.
Clang!
As Bai Ye mused, he raised the high-frequency serrated blade and clashed with an incoming spear. The moment he blocked the stone figure's attack, Bai Ye suddenly twisted the handle with force.
The high-frequency serrated blade split into two, becoming a dual blade, making it more agile.
Bai Ye took advantage of this and weaved through the gaps between the stone figures, continuously slashing left and right with his dual blades.
The sound of shattering stone echoed continuously.
The strength of the stone figures likely lay in their stone bodies, which possessed considerable defensive capabilities. However, the destructive power of the high-frequency serrated blade was even greater than Bai Ye had imagined, easily destroying the stone figures.
By the time Bai Ye had passed through the stone figures...
Crash!
The bodies of a pile of stone figures shattered and collapsed, turning into countless stone fragments that rained down on the ground.
Bai Ye twisted his ankle and swept his blade sideways again, cutting into the neck of a stone figure and decapitating it.
"Ningshuang, control sword!"
As he sheathed his blade, Bai Ye suddenly let out a low shout. Immediately, the Ningshuang sword, suspended beside Bai Ye, transformed into a silver sword light and shot behind Bai Ye.
Bang!
A stone figure holding a stone saber raised its arm, standing behind Bai Ye. A large hole was pierced through the center of its forehead by the Ningshuang sword, and its body then fell backward, shattering into pieces.
"You have successfully defeated a guardian spirit monster x15 within the Tomb of King Huai. Reward: Dao Talismans x99."
With the last stone figure killed by Bai Ye, one of the forbidden zone quests, defeating fifteen guardian spirit monsters, was successfully completed. A stack of yellow paper talismans appeared in Bai Ye's hand.
Dao talismans are not rare items; they are merely consumables. However, they are often indispensable. If one learns Daoist arts in the immortal realm, Dao talismans are often used as a medium to cast them.
To put it more simply, Dao talismans are like bullets for firearms. A machine gun without bullets is just a fire stick, and Daoist arts cannot be cast without Dao talismans.
For Bai Ye, these items were temporarily useless. However, wasn't he here for the Five Spirit Plate? Once he obtained the Five Spirit Plate and learned the Five Spirit Incantations, these Dao talismans would naturally find their use.
At the same time...
As the stone figures were all eliminated, a wall on the side rose, and a new passage appeared before Bai Ye.
Exiting the stone chamber, the passage led to the left and right. Bai Ye chose to go right, continuing deeper into the tomb of King Huai.
In fact, the Tomb of King Huai was very suitable for treasure hunting, as it contained many treasures. Even if one didn't complete the forbidden zone quests, good items could be found in some chambers or secret passages.
Although Bai Ye hadn't obtained the Five Spirit Plate and learned the Five Spirit Incantations in his previous life, he had found many good items in the Tomb of King Huai.
However, in this life, Bai Ye had a clear goal: he was here for the Five Spirit Plate and would not waste time on other matters. Moreover, the Tomb of King Huai was like a vast labyrinth, and finding all the secret passages relying on his memories from his previous life would not be easy.
Lost in thought, Bai Ye had already reached the end of the passage, and he could faintly see a glimmer of light emanating from the end.
