"???"
The atmosphere in the room fell silent for a moment. Everyone stared blankly as Li Mo took Cold Fairy's other hand as if no one else was around.
For safety reasons, my foot!
This entrance to the Underground Palace doesn't look like it has any teleportation array.
Among the crowd, the disciples of Cloud-Crossing Sword City stood silently a little further away, their faces expressionless.
"Junior brother, aren't we going up to greet Young Hero Li?"
Wei Zhaoliu was taken aback; her hair had now grown back to ear length.
Well, since Ying Bing isn't in Cloud-Crossing Sword City, she doesn't need to shave her head every day to show her resolve.
She turned around and looked at her junior brothers, who had all become complete strangers, and couldn't help but feel strange, since she thought Li Mo was actually quite nice.
"Senior sister, aren't you full?"
Wu Chushu grimaced, feeling a sudden soreness in his teeth.
Why sour?
"Can't you smell the sour, stinky odor of that dog food? And you still go over to eat it?"
What is dog food?
Wei Zhaoliu completely bewildered.
Bai Jinghong understood this sword-obsessed senior sister better, and said earnestly:
"Senior sister, once Miss Ying makes her move, you'll lose your hair again."
"..."
Wei Zhaoliu silent for a moment, then nodded:
"Going up to say hello at this time is indeed inappropriate."
Not long after, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up from the entrance to the dark Underground Palace, and faint, ferocious roars that sounded inhuman could be heard.
What was that sound?
Those who heard the sound felt a chill run down their spines.
For a moment, many people swallowed hard, staring at the deep entrance to the Underground Palace, feeling as if it might devour them.
"Let's go in."
Jiang Yu was the first to step into the entrance of the Underground Palace.
Tan Zhuyin was initially afraid of the danger involved and was unwilling to be the one to take the plunge. Now that he saw Jiang Yu go in, he was afraid that the other party would get there first.
He gave Li Mo a sinister look, then led his men into the Underground Palace.
"That voice... could it be a zombie?"
Li Mo held Ice Block's hand and pondered.
"Zombie? That's not a very accurate term." Ying Bing shook her head slightly.
"Yes, to be precise, they are a special kind of zombie."
A voice suddenly sounded behind me.
Li Mo raised an eyebrow. Hearing this voice made him angry. He was clearly a gentle and mild-mannered person, so who could make him angry just from their voice?
"Young Hero Li, we meet again."
Tian Miao gave a pale smile.
"You... what brings you here?"
"I came to you by following the guidance of Heaven."
Tian Miao is a seasoned riddle teller from the moment he opens his mouth, and the kind that's really annoying.
"Young Hero Li, you may not like the nicknames on the Hidden Dragon Ranking, but that's what our master wanted. She believes in cause and effect, and there must be a reason why she did it this way."
Li Mo squinted. "You'd better have something to say to me."
That's why riddle tellers are really annoying.
What's even more troublesome is that the riddle teller isn't just making things up; he's genuinely skilled.
"I wish to explore the tomb, so I'd like to go with you," Tian Miao said earnestly.
"Then you might as well go with the Crown Prince. What's the point of coming with us?"
"No, it's better to follow you."
"Then give me a reason why you should follow me."
Li Mo was afraid that he might not be able to resist pulling out forty yuan halfway through and slap her on the back of the head.
"I am learned enough, and I am well-versed in Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, Feng Shui, and the art of divination."
Tian Miao pointed to the deep, dark cave entrance:
"For example, those 'ba' in the tomb."
"Drought demon?"
Tian Miao spoke slowly and deliberately, beginning to recount ancient knowledge.
That being is neither a demon, nor a ghost, nor a living being, but a physical body devoid of spirit and Will Soul, kept incorruptible by the nourishment of spiritual energy, and driven by resentment or lingering regret in its heart.
Ordinary zombies usually absorb the Spiritual Qi of the sun and moon, but they have been extinct in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths for a long time.
The demon, on the other hand, absorbs spiritual and malevolent energy, growing ever stronger and giving rise to various divine phenomena.
For example, the one that can cause a severe drought once it appears is called Drought Ba, which is also the most well-known one.
There are also Fire Ba that ignite raging fires and earth Earth Ba.
But the greatest problem for humanity is that its very existence will inevitably lead to a great famine...
"Stop! I understand now. Welcome to the team."
Li Mo waved his hand, indicating that no further words were needed.
The Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye ultimately has limitations; it can only see humans, or at least those who have begun to take human form, like Senior Brother Xiao Bao...
He hadn't been idle either; he had used his Heavenly Mandate Divine Eye of Destiny to look at everyone present.
Among them, those from Cloud-Crossing Sword City are worth remembering, as well as several blue, blue-tinged-purple, or even purple investment targets.
Of course, there was also someone who came specifically for him.
[Name: Zhu Renji]
[Age: 56]
[Root Bone: Yin-Yang Hidden Killing Body]
[Realm: First Heaven of the External Scene Realm]
[Destiny: Blue with a hint of purple]
[Evaluation: He was ridiculed for his eye disease since childhood, so he killed the person who mocked him when he was ten years old. He became a bandit at the age of thirteen. Later, he was expelled because he often could not distinguish friend from foe. He joined the Drizzle Pavilion Avici Trial the Endless Drizzle Pavilion.]
He later successfully assassinated the eldest son of Thunder Strike Fortress, earning him the reputation in the Demon Summoning Cult Yin-Yang Hall of the Demon Summoning Cult could cure all kinds of intractable diseases, he left the Drizzle Pavilion and joined the Demon Summoning Cult.
From bandit to assassin to member of a demonic cult.
Well, life is getting harder and harder.
[Recent Encounters: Received two side jobs, both involving assassinating Li Mo and Ying Bing; decided to take both jobs.]
"External Scene Realm scenery..."
Li Mo watched the other person's retreating figure disappear into the entrance of the Underground Palace.
A moment later, those who remained were mostly hesitant Rogue Person of the martial world.
Li Mo also put away his notebook, and the three of them went down into the Underground Palace together.
It was initially extremely narrow, barely wide enough for one person to pass through...
Well, the entrance is actually quite large, but the dark space makes it seem even more spacious and vast. So many people came in just now, but now you can't even hear their footsteps.
Only the sound of three footsteps echoed, the silence so profound you could hear your own heartbeat.
Li Mo took out a Night-Shining Pearl and dispelled the thick darkness.
As far as the eye could see, there wasn't a single person in sight.
"So many people?"
Li Mo couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Tian Miao pondered for a moment and then said, "They are not in the same Underground Palace."
"?"
Li Mo turned around to look at the entrance to the Underground Palace, only to find that it had turned completely dark behind him, without a trace of light.
Ying Bing gripped her sword with one hand. "This Underground Palace... is moving."
Maze Runner?
This underground Underground Palace, which has been submerged for many years, is still moving today?
"We should be heading to the main burial chamber."
Little Li recalled the tomb raiding novels he had read in his previous life.
Tian Miao glanced at him in surprise, nodded, and the hair ornaments on her head rustled slightly.
"What we need to confirm now is to determine exactly which period this tomb belongs to."
"The layout and design of large tombs from different eras vary greatly, not to mention that this Underground Palace is still moving."
Tian Miao's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:
"If we can't find a solution here, then..."
"We might be trapped here forever, never to see the light of day again."
Li Mo: "?"
So what are you excited about?
