SFS Chapter 136: Guarding the Soul
Chapter 136: Guarding the Soul
The sound immediately weakened, and Zhao Mu and his group could no longer hear it.
"Xitfan? Who is that?" Jiang Muyao asked doubtfully.
Zhao Mu didn't expect that Xitefan would also appear in the burial ground of the ancestors of mankind. Isn't he restricted and unable to leave the abyss?
"The Demon King Xitfan is the leader of the Demon Kingdom and a great demon in the God King realm." Zhao Mu explained.
Jiang Muyao was speechless.
The demon kings have all escaped?
Can this operation go on smoothly?
Su Qianqian said: "The aura of this demon king seems a little illusory, perhaps it is not his true body."
A clone?
If that's the case, Zhao Mu will feel better.
It’s difficult to deal with Duan Hongyi alone, and if another demon king comes along, it will be really unbearable.
"Hey, the yin energy here is quite strong."
Tushan Mengdie made a discovery.
Zhao Mu took a quick look and found that there was indeed some cold and gloomy air seeping out from the ground. He immediately began to search the surroundings and soon found a hidden cave.
He stepped forward to lead the way, and after entering the cave, he found that the cave was very deep, and the direction it led to was exactly the central area of the burial place of the ancestors of mankind.
Could it be the entrance to the Great Emperor’s tomb?
Never mind, let’s go in and take a look.
Zhao Mu went deeper and deeper, relying on the Supreme Divine Eye to explore the way. After walking for several thousand meters, he found a very hidden underground palace.
There are hundreds of earthen figurines placed in the underground palace.
These earthenware figurines have different shapes, some are human-shaped, some are animal-shaped, holding weapons and looking solemn, as if they are all soldiers who have experienced many battles.
The arrangement of the earthenware figurines seemed messy, but Zhao Mu could tell at a glance that this was a special formation.
Guarding spirit formation.
It is a formation specially used to guard against the undead.
Generally, this kind of formation is needed to suppress the resentment of the soul of a wicked person after his death.
But this made Zhao Mu feel a little confused.
Emperor Xuanyuan is the ancestor of the human race. He has made great achievements and is the ancestor of the human race whose contributions will be passed down through the generations. After his death, he will surely be blessed with the good fortune of the human race and will never degenerate into an evil spirit.
Then who is this spirit-guarding formation guarding?
Zhao Mu looked around again but found nothing new.
This should be just a corner of the spirit-guarding formation.
Similar spirit-guarding formations should be found throughout the underground spaces of the ancestral burial grounds.
Judging from the direction of guarding, the core of the spirit-guarding formation should be the very center of the burial place of the ancestors of mankind.
This is also the most likely place where Emperor Xuanyuan was buried.
But this doesn't make sense even more.
Zhao Mu was confused for a moment.
However, since we have made a discovery, it is a good thing. As long as we continue searching along the spirit-guarding formation, we should be able to reach the core area of the ancestral burial ground.
As to whether it is Emperor Xuanyuan or an evil spirit buried there, you can only know by seeing it with your own eyes.
Zhao Mu continued to move forward along the passage of the underground palace.
The long and narrow tunnel was filled with a strong yin energy, and gusts of cold wind blew in the face, making people feel very uncomfortable.
However, with the strength of Zhao Mu and his companions, they can still bear it.
After walking for a while, everyone came to a new underground palace.
Just like before, there are many earthen figurines standing here, forming a corner of the spirit-guarding formation.
Zhao Mu did not stop and continued forward.
This time, every few meters, there was a new underground palace.
The scale of this underground palace is obviously larger than the previous two, and the number of earthen figurines inside has increased several times. Among them is a huge turtle figurine with a black stone tablet standing on its shell.
Zhao Mu approached the stone tablet and took a closer look.
There was no text left on it, but a strange rune was engraved on it.
Su Qianqian also came to take a look and shook her head. "I've never seen such a rune before, but it feels very ancient to me. It's definitely not a product of this era. It seems to contain a faint power of law."
"Why does it feel more and more mysterious?"
Zhao Mu muttered.
"Something is indeed amiss. If Emperor Xuanyuan simply didn't want to be disturbed after his death, he wouldn't have resorted to such methods. But right now, it seems more like some kind of ceremony is being held in his mausoleum."
"Never mind that, just keep moving forward."
Zhao Mu perked up. He could feel that they were very close to Emperor Xuanyuan's tomb.
Continue forward along the corridor.
After walking about 500 meters, we entered a new underground palace again.
But in this underground palace, there is only one earthen figurine.
This clay figurine is three meters tall, wearing black armor, and looks very powerful. It seems that he was a powerful figure in his lifetime.
"What a realistic clay figurine. There must be a real person inside it." Huang Xi said tremblingly.
Zhao Mu smiled and said, "You'll know if you break it."
"I dare not. What if there really is a corpse in there? That would be too offensive." Huang Xi shook her head repeatedly.
"The clay figurine seems to be holding something in its hand." Tushan Mengdie said, pointing at the clay figurine's big fist.
Zhao Mu flew forward, pried open the terracotta figurine's fingers, and took out a piece of jade.
The jade piece was stained with blood and felt warm to the touch, even a little hot.
It is also engraved with the same runes as those on the Rain Stone Stele, but in a different style.
Zhao Mu took a look with the Supreme Divine Eye, but didn't find any useful information.
pat...
At this moment, the clay figurine cracked without any warning.
As the outer shell of the clay figurine peeled off, a majestic giant strode out, holding a sharp axe and chopped towards Zhao Mu.
The speed is so fast that it is difficult to guard against.
But Zhao Mu's reaction speed is no longer what it used to be. After receiving combat awareness feedback from the ladies' day and night combat training, Zhao Mu can still easily dodge this level of feat.
However, Zhao Mu did not retreat, but directly raised the Zhatian Sword to block it.
With a loud bang, Zhao Mu and the giant each took several steps back.
Several ladies reacted at the same time, and they all took out their magic weapons and began to besiege the earthen giant.
Seeing this, Zhao Mu waved his hand and used the black ice thorn to restrict the movement of the earthenware, and then slashed out with the sky-covering sword at the same time.
After a one-sided massacre, the earthen giant fell to the ground and shattered into lumps of earth.
"That's all." Huang Xi clapped her hands proudly.
The next second, the underground palace suddenly shook violently.
A foul-smelling, thick black water seeped out from the cracks in the bricks under my feet.
Without saying a word, Zhao Mu summoned the star cluster, carried everyone into the corridor and continued forward.
"What was that just now?" Huang Xi couldn't help but ask.
"It should be caused by the destruction of the formation structure. The specific situation is unclear, but the road behind is likely to have been cut off. Now we have no way to turn back and can only move forward." Zhao Mu explained.
This spirit-guarding formation is still a bit weird. Although Zhao Mu is an emperor-level formation master, he cannot fully see through it.
Now that we have come to this, we can only keep going and take things one step at a time.
Although it looks dangerous, it is at least within controllable range.
After speeding all the way, they soon arrived at the next underground palace.
As soon as he showed his head, Zhao Mu was surprised to see a group of monsters gathered there. Each of them was a great monster at the emperor level, and there were more than twenty of them.
This group of great demons in the imperial realm gathered together, seemingly imitating the positions of the earthen figurines, integrating themselves into the spirit-guarding formation.
Zhao Mu was stunned by this strange scene.
