"Tap tap tap."

Xiao Chen walked slowly along the passage. The empty passage was extremely silent, and he could clearly hear the echo of his own footsteps.

As he progressed, the content of the mural above his head gradually became diversified.

In addition to a large amount of sacrificial content, some of the Moon Witch Tribe's daily life and war scenes are also interspersed.

After nine hundred and ninety-nine feet, a wall with Screen Wall carved with a large number of hieroglyphs appeared in front of it.

It seems to be some kind of explanation.

But judging from the faintly visible red paint among the remnants.

Most likely a warning to intruders?

"Ah this..."

Xiao Chen naturally can't understand Witch Script, so he doesn't know what it says.

But even if he could understand it, he couldn't really turn around and leave just because of such a few simple words.

Only children will be frightened by a few words, while adults ignore the risks and insist on entering!

Therefore, Xiao Chen decisively bypassed Screen Wall and continued forward.

After passing three consecutive turns, the passage suddenly opened up, and a strange building appeared in front of him.

It is a Spiral Tower that exudes a strange aura. If you look closely, you will see that it is actually a Bone Tower made of thousands of leg bones.

Under the reflection of nearby crystals, the entire tower reflects a forest-white light.

As Xiao Chen approached, a pungent rancid smell instantly enveloped him.

After getting closer, you can clearly see that the exposed parts of each leg bone have been carefully processed.

However, perhaps because it has been too long, most of the lines have faded to the point where they are completely unclear.

Only a few of them still have relatively clear scratches.

"Crack!"

There was a sound like a dead branch being trampled to pieces. Xiao Chen looked down and saw that it was a leg bone that had fallen to the ground at some point.

It was already fragile and graceful, but when it was stepped on, it broke into a pile of debris on the spot.

Carefully bypass Spiral Bone Tower, and the passage ahead becomes narrow instantly.

The number of glowing crystals dropped sharply, replaced by some strange graffiti.

Just a few steps after walking in, Xiao Chen saw an illusory figure suddenly floating out of the dark corner in front.

It had a faint green light on it, completely occupying the narrow passage.

Through Divine Sense, he immediately saw the same scene behind him without looking back.

"Jade Terrace Fire Lotus!"

If you are in doubt, put Defensive Spell first to see the situation.

"Boom~!"

The moment he came into contact with the fire lotus.

The dark green figure exploded suddenly, turning into a large ball of light green fire that burned blazingly.

However, it was clear that the passage was already a sea of fire, but Xiao Chen only felt a biting chill, which almost penetrated into his body through the fire lotus.

"Crack!"

"Click!"

Under the influence of this strange green fire, the layers of fire lotus were directly frozen into ice cubes, falling to the ground with crisp sounds.

"Snow Surge Spirit Armor, get up!"

Just in case, Xiao Chen immediately cast another Defensive Spell, manifesting a set of Ice Armor phantoms on his body.

Then he stepped forward and continued deeper, and alternately used two types of Defensive Spell in the middle.

"Boom~!"

Two more phantoms rushed forward, but were firmly blocked.

After walking like this for about two-quarters of an hour, no new figures were born.

But just such a short journey consumes half of Xiao Chen's real energy.

If it were another Golden Core cultivator, I'm afraid it would have turned into an ice sculpture or ashes here.

At the end of the passage, there is another wall Screen Wall.

Xiao Chen noticed that there were many similar words, which seemed to be repeating the previous warning.

The difference is that this time there is an extra set of Stone Painting below Screen Wall.

The first picture is clearly the passage just now, with two little people running on it.

The second picture shows two little people standing in front of Screen Wall, which should be mentioned here.

The third picture shows one of the little people returning to the channel and then swimming into the water.

The fourth picture shows another villain continuing to move forward, stepping into a palace, and finally falling under a huge moon wheel.

It seems that they knew in advance that Xiao Chen could not read Witch Script, so there was no writing on Stone Painting.

Instead, he chose to use the different behaviors of the two villains and the different consequences to express the warning.

This advice is very interesting.

If it is an ordinary monk who has experienced the raging green fire before, even if he persists, he must have spent a lot of real energy and realize the danger of Wu Mausoleum.

If you see the warning again, you will probably give up.

But Xiao Chen was an exception. He sat cross-legged on the spot and began to recover his true energy, not caring about the warning on Stone Painting.

Whether there is any danger later is another matter. Sha Qi let him go before he even saw him.

That must be impossible!

Spiritual Qi among Wu Mausoleum can actually be called thin, which is a small limitation on the recovery of true essence.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chen took out one Third-Order Spirit Fruit and swallowed it.

I picked more than 100 Third-Order Spirit Fruit from the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm before, and I still have more than 90 pieces left after eating it.

So there is no need to save at all, you won't be able to finish it all.

Thanks to the hundred-fold blessing, it only took two quarters of an hour for Xiao Chen, with the help of Spirit Fruit, to restore the previously lost true energy.

Bypassing Stone Painting, Xiao Chen walked forward for a distance.

Sure enough, we arrived at a grand palace.

It has a regular twelve-sided shape as a whole, except for the channels connecting the front and rear.

There are four moon phase diagrams painted on the left and right respectively, depicting the changes of the moon in different periods.

There is New Moon corresponding to the waning moon, there is First Quarter Moon corresponding to Last Quarter Moon... and so on.

Xiao Chen looked around, but saw that the palace was empty, not even a pillar, a cabinet, not even a stool.

The most eye-catching thing is that on the top of the hall, hanging upside down is an extremely huge Crystal Moon Wheel, which is several feet long.

Like a real bright moon, it sheds bright white fluorescence.

At the top edge of the palace, there are eight mirrors that have been polished extremely smooth.

The bright white moon wheel is refracted by mirrors at different angles, forming artificial moon phase changes on the empty ground.

As the light flickered, it was like the moon Phases of the Moon was compressed in this small space.

Since the moon phase changes, it will naturally not remain unchanged.

Accompanied by a slight roar, the eight mirrors moved slowly, making the light reflected on the ground seem to be dynamically evolving.

Xiao Chen immediately noticed that the eight positions corresponded to eight special stone slabs.

As the moon phases evolve, the eight stone slabs also move.

As a result, when viewed as a whole, the different moon phases from left to right are always arranged in an orderly manner.

The previous villain on Stone Painting fell down, indicating that there will be corresponding dangers here.

If nothing else, the problem should lie on these stone slabs.

.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Chen should observe the moon phase changes and find out the hidden patterns.

However, after studying for a quarter of an hour, he found nothing except that there seemed to be some gravel powder scattered on some of the stone slabs.

So I decisively gave up this plan and decided to adopt another method.

That is to take out the defensive spiritual shield and rush over directly!

This was not an impulsive decision by Xiao Chen to solve the problem by being reckless.

On the contrary, he made such a decision after careful consideration.

As the saying goes, use one's own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.

At any time, you should use your strengths.

The advantage of Xiao Chen is naturally the confidence brought by his powerful Law Technique and Night's Edge.

If you really want to study the rules step by step, it will be a waste of time and you may not be able to find a safe route.

"Crunch!"

As soon as he took a step, there was an abnormal sound coming from his feet.

Immediately afterwards, the floor sank two inches downward, revealing a circle of small holes around it.

From each small hole, a purple smoke quickly spewed out.

Strangely enough, the smoke actually ignored Xiao Chen's protective spiritual shield, passed through his Jade Terrace Fire Lotus, and penetrated directly into his body.

Very good, this piece represents poison, which equals safety.

He took another step forward.

"Crunch!"

The floor sank slightly, and an earthy yellow light flashed, but in the end nothing happened.

It looks like some kind of Imprisonment Technique, but if you don't feel it, that means it's safe.

Xiao Chen in the middle also tried to step on those special Moon Phase Stone Slab.

"Kaka!"

This time the stone slab did not sink, and the sound changed.

The corresponding mirror immediately shone brightly, and a beam of bright white light was drawn from the moon wheel, directly shining on Xiao Chen.

He couldn't understand the method this time at all.

Fortunately, there is still no strange feeling, which means it is safe.

After stepping on ten wrong floors along the way, triggering all kinds of poisons, illusions, etc.

Xiao Chen finally made it to the other side smoothly and safely.

After passing a short passage, I saw the piece of Screen Wall that was almost exactly the same size for the third time.

In the upper part, the warning is still marked.

The content in the lower half was directly replaced from Stone Painting with some kind of twisted lines.

But I don't know if it's because it's so old or because it wasn't clearly drawn from the beginning.

Xiao Chen only saw the outline of the body, which seemed to be that of a human being, but it had several completely asymmetrical arms growing out, and the head was swollen with a strange pattern that was as large as one-fifth of the body.

"Huh?"

He was a little confused. "What does this mean? It's just starting to scare people?"

Distinguish it carefully.

Xiao Chen noticed that there seemed to be some defects in the pattern. It seemed that excessive force was used during the painting, which caused slight damage to Screen Wall itself.

This is not difficult to understand.

From the distorted patterns, we can deduce that the witch who left the portrait was probably not in a good mental state, and it is normal for him to have used too much force.

Bypassing Screen Wall again.

The passage ahead begins to get wider and wider.

After walking for less than three-quarters of an hour, Xiao Chen arrived at a square-like place.

The entire square is four thousand feet long from front to back and two thousand feet wide from left to right.

Except for a large number of stone pillars used as supports, the surrounding area is empty.

Therefore, you can directly see the 400-foot-long and 400-foot-wide Tomb Chamber built in the middle and core of the square.

I have seen this screen before under Moon Eclipse and Xiao Chen.

The Witch Artifact he came to look for this time is enshrined in Tomb Chamber.

At the same time, this is also the last blockade of Wu Mausoleum, filled with Burial Abyss Asura accumulated over millions of years.

Under normal circumstances, monks cannot directly feel Sha Qi, and even Xiao Chen needs to activate Secret Method to see clearly.

But it's different here, you can feel it just by getting close.

There is an oppressive atmosphere that permeates the entire space, like collapsed quicksand, like accumulated sludge, or like a blocked ditch.

Anyone who is familiar with Sha Qi can immediately tell that there is too strong Sha Qi here.

Generally speaking, it is not easy for the monks to come to this place.

After discovering the anomaly, any knowledgeable person will be directly persuaded to leave by Burial Abyss Asura.

The few who were reluctant to leave or couldn't recognize it would rush in and lose their lives in vain.

For millions of years, there has never been a problem with this blockade.

But today it met a special guest.

Xiao Chen put away Body Protecting Profound Light and stepped straight into the square.

Then he took the initiative to sit cross-legged and activated <Profound Heaven Ingestion Secret Method> to absorb the surrounding Sha Qi.

In an instant, a vortex seemed to appear on the edge of the square, wildly swallowing up the surrounding Sha Qi.

A steady stream of Sha Qi rushed into his body, and was immediately pulled into his Dantian, becoming the raw material for condensing Yin Earth Seal.

"Wow~!"

Vaguely, Xiao Chen seemed to hear the sound of waves in his ears.

That was the sound caused by the Sha Qi around him losing too quickly, causing the Sha Qi in other places to fill up and intersect with each other.

One day later.

After sixteen hours of non-stop refining, Burial Abyss Asura in the square finally dissipated.

"Huh~!"

Xiao Chen spit out a long breath Turbid Qi: "It's done."

Since Sha Qi will erode nearby creatures on its own, refining cannot be stopped once it is started.

Even Secret Method, which had been running at high intensity for so long, felt very tired. Fortunately, it ended successfully.

With Divine Sense Scan, looking at the newly added Yin Earth Seal in his dantian, the corners of his mouth could not help but turn up slightly.

This is already the fifth Sha Qi collected by Xiao Chen.

Although there is only one pair of fire demons at present, you must know that Five Elements Sars can be divided into ten types of yin and yang.

In other words, he has collected half of Five Elements Sars.

Next, as long as you keep an eye out for more information, I guess you're not too far away from gathering all Sha Qi.

"Damn Yin Corpse Sect, a bunch of bastards!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but think of the Sha Qi clues he had obtained in the Lightless Sea.

I originally thought about trying my luck after coming out of the ruins, but now it's basically out of the question.

"Forget it, why are you thinking about those annoying things?"

Xiao Chen shook his head vigorously, as if to get rid of this useless negative emotion. "It's better to get Witch Artifact inside first."

He stood up and walked towards Tomb Chamber in the middle of the square.

At this point, Tomb Chamber itself has not designed any unnecessary obstacles.

That's no longer necessary.

Therefore, when Xiao Chen walked over and pushed the door directly, he easily pushed open the stone door in front of Tomb Chamber without any effort.

.

When you step into Tomb Chamber, the first thing you see are murals with different styles.

Perhaps it is better protected here, and Xiao Chen can still clearly see the colorful colors on the painting.

The middle and largest one details the scene of Moon Offering Ritual.

At that time, Moon Witch Saintess was wearing a gorgeous red dress and Bright Moon Crown on her head. She held up a glowing ball in her right hand and looked solemn.

In front of her was a huge altar filled with various sacrifices.

Most of the surrounding tribesmen were kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads in front of the altar.

There was only one soldier with a tall body and a particularly burly figure. He was half-kneeling in front of Saintess, holding his hands together and above his head, waiting for the other party to give Blood Crystal.

It seems that Saintess's status in the clan is definitely not low.

"Is this what Moon Offering Ritual looks like?"

It is completely different from Xiao Chen's previous two experiences.

He carefully observed the expression of Saintess on the mural, but could not see any pain.

I don't know if it really doesn't hurt, or if the person who was responsible for the painting deliberately did some artistic processing.

In Tomb Chamber, a large number of burial utensils are placed regularly.

Hundreds of candlesticks with simple shapes are scattered throughout Tomb Chamber.

The whole body of the candlestick is made of bronze, with exquisite patterns carved on the surface.

Thanks to the miniature Spirit Gathering Formation interspersed in the pattern, until now, a small ball of orange-red Spirit Fire is still burning inside, illuminating the surrounding lights.

Besides that.

There are also Bone Xun engraved with runes scattered around, necklaces made of unknown animal teeth, scepters with gems on the top... and other unique artifacts.

The closer you get to the center of Tomb Chamber, the more exquisite the workmanship of these things is.

"Huh?"

Xiao Chen tried to reach out and pick up a necklace of animal teeth. Unexpectedly, with just a slight force, the animal teeth were crushed into ashes.

He went to grab the gems aside again.

As a result, although the gem was fine, the scepter broke into more than a dozen pieces in an instant.

"Boom!"

The fist-sized gem was thrown directly to the ground by Xiao Chen.

Despite the meticulous carving, all the Spiritual Qi in the gemstone has been lost.

For most practitioners, including him, jade jewelry without Spiritual Qi is no different from scrap metal.

Tomb Chamber In the center, there is an exquisite coffin.

Made from a single piece of shiny black stone, it is three feet long and six feet six wide.

The surface of the coffin is engraved with complex and mysterious patterns of Witch Talisman and various birds and animals.

If you look carefully, you can still see the faint flow of mysterious light inside the stone.

"Hey, why can't I see Witch Artifact?"

Xiao Chen looked around and finally saw a small niche on the side of Tomb Chamber.

He quickly stepped forward and took a closer look, only to see an unrecognizable animal skin lying quietly in the niche.

The surface of the animal skin is covered with mottled marks, but it can still be clearly identified with the dark red Witch Talisman painted on it with Witch Blood.

"Is it Inherited Cultivation Method?"

Xiao Chen reached out and picked it up for inspection.

Although he still couldn't tell which Demon Beast this piece of animal skin came from.

But I immediately felt the unique atmosphere of Fourth-Order Demonic Beast.

"No wonder it can last for so long. It not only needs the blessing of Witch Talisman, but also the raw materials themselves must be good enough."

Xiao Chen sighed and put the animal skin into Vast Sea Ring.

Although based on previous experience, the grade of Inherited Cultivation Method should not be low.

In other words, this thing is most likely of no use to him.

But this Cultivation Method might be able to help Su Li, so just help her take it back.

These little details don't really matter.

The most critical question right now is--where is Witch Artifact?

Xiao Chen looked around again. Although this Tomb Chamber is not small in size, the layout inside is not complicated and is basically clear at a glance.

There are no other alcoves, and Divine Sense cannot detect the hidden dark room.

The only place he can't see now and can't penetrate with Divine Sense is the inside of the middlemost coffin.

"Uh~!"

Xiao Chen blinked. "You shouldn't have put Witch Artifact in the coffin, right?"

Push open the thick coffin and lift the lid inside.

Inside the coffin, a woman with picturesque features was lying quietly. Her long black hair lay softly on her side, and various decorations on her gorgeous Priest clothes were still shining.

Sure enough, there was a round ball, which she held in her arms.

Except that there is no light, it is almost exactly the same as Saintess and Witch Artifact on the mural.

Xiao Chen reached out to take it, but felt a strong suction force that directly sucked his hand on the ball.

Then, a pair of cold hands stretched out.

He grabbed his wrist tightly.

Sharp nails dug into his flesh.

At the same time, a chill that seemed to come from the depths of Nine Hells climbed up Xiao Chen's wrist like a snake.

Wherever it passed, his meridians were also frozen.

"Hoo!"

The originally quiet Tomb Chamber suddenly blew up a burst of Yin Wind, which caused the candlelights around to sway, as if they would be extinguished at any time.

The suction force on the ball is also getting stronger and stronger.

Not only was Xiao Chen's hand firmly sucked, but those hands were pulling his arms hard.

It was as if his entire body was being pulled into the coffin.

"Hey~!"

Although he immediately mobilized his true energy and tried hard to break free, he still moved towards the coffin uncontrollably.

High Priest The eyes that were originally closed slowly opened at this moment.

But those eyes were all filled with white, so that the pupils could not be seen at all, and there was no trace of expression.

Immediately afterwards, High Priest's mouth also began to open and close.

It seemed like there were two pieces of rusty iron inside, being rubbed together.

It made a weird sound that Xiao Chen had never heard before, like a gnashing of teeth, like some kind of primitive spell.

An invisible thrust immediately appeared around him, rushing towards him like an overwhelming force.

It was as if a thousand hands were exerting force at the same time, pushing him into the coffin.

"Oh, aren't you bothered? There's actually a trap."

Xiao Chen really couldn't break free, so he simply gave up resistance and allowed the other party to pull him in.

The coffin that had been pushed away before was actually lifted up and closed by invisible hands.

A quarter of an hour later.

The figure of Xiao Chen reappeared in the square outside Tomb Chamber.

"You don't have martial ethics, do you? True Yang Fire Dragon, smash it for me!"

The huge fire dragon rushed out from behind, its hovering body almost covering Tomb Chamber.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, and the entire Tomb Chamber was directly knocked open with a big hole.

However, Xiao Chen was not enough, so I raised my hand and came up with Condensing Fire Palm.

The raging flames immediately smashed the incomplete wall to pieces.

The severely damaged Tomb Chamber could no longer hold on and collapsed.

Looking at the middle coffin, Xiao Chen turned around and pulled out Flying Sword, and followed Sword Manual's direct drill.

The majestic Sword Light accurately avoided Witch Artifact and crushed everything else into powder.

He took out Transformation Serpent Bone Spear, which had not been used for a long time, grabbed Witch Artifact from a distance, and put it into the spare Storage Ring.

Xiao Chen no longer has any scruples and is firing on all cylinders.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Continuous explosions sounded, calling out everything visible around them.
