A suspicious figure, lost in the darkness
If you really can't handle it yourself, it's not too late to come back and ask for help.
Along the way, the powerful figures didn't offer much help.
Although they are strong in terms of physical strength, they are too weak in terms of Mental Power. There are few opportunities to engage in direct confrontation here; instead, the focus is more on attacking their Mental Attribute.
That's what makes it impossible for them to move an inch, preventing these experts from fully utilizing their advantages.
They finally arrived at the tomb where the Demonic Rat had disappeared. At first glance, it seemed no different from the other rooms, but Su Zhan knew very well that there was definitely something else hidden inside.
The moment the Demonic Rat entered, it severed its connection with him. The connection between demons and their masters is extremely close; they originate from the same source and are like one entity. Cutting off their connection is equivalent to severing Su Zhan's nerves.
Something with such capabilities is naturally not simple, and the risks are much higher than in other areas.
He took a deep breath, prepared his move, and then created a thick Space Barrier around himself before breaking in.
To his surprise, the room was much like the other tomb chambers.
If he hadn't been certain that his Demonic Rat had disappeared here, he probably would have just glanced at it and left without noticing anything.
I tested everything in the room, but there was no particular reaction.
Only the "coffin" in the middle remains to be seen.
This thing is square, like a coffin but not quite, giving people a very strange feeling.
This is the only thing that makes it different from the other tombs.
This is clearly the Great Tomb of the Moon Worship Tribe, the burial place of their ancestors.
But after traveling so far, we haven't seen a single real coffin. Could it be hidden away?
Su Zhan found it strange, but the journey had been too dangerous, and he didn't have much energy to pay attention to it.
Perhaps there are some special funeral customs that he hasn't noticed; this is the first time he's seen something resembling a coffin since he came in.
Although Su Zhan was not superstitious and did not believe that their souls would remain after they died, he still suspected that traps and poison gas might still exist.
So he was very careful, prying open the nails holding the coffin shut, and then slowly pushed the lid open.
After checking through the open crack to make sure there was no poison gas or Hidden Weapons inside, he confidently pushed it open completely, only to find no skeletons inside as he had expected.
It was completely empty, an emptiness that made me uneasy...
That's strange!
He felt something was wrong, so he looked around and even carefully checked the bottom of the coffin for any hidden compartments.
Surprisingly, it was indeed an empty coffin, leaving him with no idea where to begin.
Was he really going to leave empty-handed? Had the trail gone cold again? He felt a pang of frustration, but he still refused to give up.
He pushed himself up with both hands, climbed inside, and intended to carefully examine the inside of the coffin.
Sure enough, we quickly figured out where the problem lay!
The light dimmed the moment I climbed over the wall.
He looked up, where he should have been able to see directly into the world outside the coffin.
But there was nothing there; you couldn't even touch the coffin wall. It was as if you had entered another world, a world of nothingness.
Immediately afterwards, the Moon Beast also climbed in. Seeing the Moon Beast appear, Su Zhan felt a little safer.
Being alone in a dark and empty space can create immense psychological pressure.
So that's how I lost contact with that Demonic Rat, but upon closer reflection, something doesn't seem right!
He realized that the demon rat hadn't contacted him since the moment he entered the tomb, and it shouldn't have taken until now. The more he thought about it, the more something seemed off. The Demonic Rat had disappeared as soon as he entered the tomb, and he hadn't even seen the coffin.
Although there were suspicions, there were no leads.
He summoned the White Dragon Flame, hoping to illuminate his surroundings. But it was no use; the light could only travel about a meter, restricted by an invisible force.
The space outside the designated area remained as dark as ever; all that could be seen was an endless expanse of black.
There were no landmarks, no place to rest one's gaze. After looking for a while, Su Zhan closed his eyes wearily, feeling that if he kept them open any longer, he might go blind.
He asked the Moon Beast, "Do you know where this place is?"
Moon Beast: "I've never seen it before, nor have I ever been here. I've had so many dealings with the Moon Worship Tribe, and I haven't heard a single word about it. It's probably their secret weapon."
Just then, the Moon Beast's voice suddenly rose, alerting Su Zhan: "What is that!"
Su Zhan looked in the direction he was pointing, and a dark shadow "whooshed" past.
They couldn't let something so obviously suspicious slip by. The two of them quickly followed, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Su Zhan chased for a while, but couldn't catch up; they maintained a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
Every time Su Zhan accelerated, he accelerated too; when Su Zhan got tired and slowed down, he slowed down as well, thus keeping Su Zhan hanging on.
Su Zhan stopped angrily. "Are you kidding me?!"
Sure enough, as soon as I stopped, the other person stopped too.
He realized that this thing didn't take him seriously at all.
He chased after it for an unknown distance, then turned around and realized something was wrong. He didn't know when, but the Moon Beast was no longer beside him.
I've lost my way and don't know where I am.
Looking around, he saw only the person opposite him, staring at their back in the darkness.
In the blink of an eye, the person had turned around and was staring at him from a distance.
The surrounding light was dim, and the shadow was far away, so he couldn't see the other person's appearance at all. He just felt that the eye contact was very unsettling.
He frantically tried to figure out what kind of place this was, who the other person was, and why they could exist here.
I regret it a little; I shouldn't have come in so rashly. But it's too late for regrets now.
At this moment, the Chat Group became lively.
Blood Consumption: Boss, what exactly are you chasing?
Su Zhan: I'm chasing that person, can't you see?
Qianlong: I did see him just now, but didn't he just disappear after chasing me?
Su Zhan felt a chill run down his spine after hearing this!
Why could only he see it? He summoned the Avatar of the Blood Consumption and the Qianlong, remaining still while letting them approach to see what was going on with the figure.
Sure enough, he didn't move, and neither did the other person.
The Avatar approached the area as instructed, but they couldn't see the thing at all; they even passed right through the figure's limbs.
This thing is truly only visible to Su Zhan himself; even the Cultivation Method that share the same origin as his own cannot see it.
Therefore, it is highly likely that the figure was just a hallucination.
This explains why he precisely kept himself on the hook and successfully separated him from the Moon Beast.
Anything is possible in an illusion; even if Moon Beast is right in front of you, you might not see it.
It's good to know the reason.
