Chapter 88 The Tomb Guarded by Demons

After collecting the essence and residual soul, the three of them recovered their strength and began to move towards the tomb. As they approached the tomb, a strong breath of death hit them in the face.

The three of them couldn't help but frown. With such a strong aura of death, there must be at least one great commander-level undead resting here.

Didn’t Ning Moyuan’s diary deceive them?

The entire tomb is shaped at a steep angle, like a huge well-shaped structure. Its four walls are not simply made of mud, but are carefully built with durable ancient bricks. This shows that in ancient times, there were indeed skilled craftsmen who ingeniously built a tomb here.

Walking slowly along the slope, an ancient tomb gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.

The interior of the tomb was spacious and much larger than they had expected, but the pervasive eerie deathly atmosphere limited the range of the firelight and made it difficult to illuminate every corner.

"A tomb of this size is probably not an ordinary official's tomb. It is very likely built by a powerful minister in ancient times." Ding Yumian analyzed after careful observation.

"You mean this is a tomb of corpse ministers? Why would Ning Moyuan mention such creatures in his diary?" Yu Qiuyue asked puzzledly.

"I don't know, but I can be sure that this is the tomb of a corpse minister!" Ding Yumian shook his head and said with a firm tone.

This tomb seems to be full of mysteries. The atmosphere is extremely deathly heavy. There are ghosts everywhere outside, but there is no trace of any ghosts inside.

Before entering, they were all prepared to fight the undead in the entire tomb, but in the end, nothing happened.

"Let's keep moving forward. Once we get deeper into the core of the tomb, we'll know what the creature Ning Moyuan was talking about is." Xu Mu walked in front holding a torch, and he turned around and said.

"Xu Mu, your wrist is glowing!"

After everyone nodded in agreement, they all noticed a faint blue fluorescence on Xu Mu's right wrist.

Xu Mu was wearing long sleeves, but he did not hesitate and quickly rolled up his cuffs, revealing a mysterious totem vessel with intricate patterns engraved on his wrist. It was this totem vessel that emitted a faint blue light.

"Is this bracelet of yours a magic weapon for repairing the soul?" Yu Qiuyue asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it's a rather special magic weapon for soul cultivation." Xu Mu replied with a serious expression.

Although he hadn't noticed it before, Xu Mu now clearly felt that there was an unknown force inside the tomb that was causing the totem vessels to undergo mysterious changes.

He couldn't judge whether this change was beneficial or harmful.

What puzzled him was how the totem vessel given by Dean Xiao was related to this weird tomb of the undead?
Could it be that this totem vessel was found by Ning Moyuan in the tomb and then handed over to Dean Xiao?
"The totem vessel you hold seems to resonate with this mysterious tomb. Faced with this phenomenon caused by an unknown force, you decide..."

"Option 1: Explore the tomb further!"

“Option 2: Stop the current action!”

“Option 3: Entrust someone else to conduct the tomb investigation!”

The system suddenly appeared in front of Xu Mu, breaking his meditation.

The system has not appeared for a long time since the last time I joined Qingtian Monster Hunting.

Unexpectedly, the system appeared again at this critical moment. He thought he would have to wait until Mo Fan's Imperial Capital Exchange Battle.

"I choose one."

Xu Mu made a decision silently in his heart, and then he said to everyone with a serious expression:

"Let's move on. Qiuyue, summon your summoned beast. If you run out of magic power, take potions to recover. I have some magic recovery potions here." The height of the tomb chamber was just right, just enough to accommodate the size of the Flame-Desire Blood Falcon, but due to the limited height, even if it was summoned, it could only fly close to the ground.

Yu Qiuyue didn't say much and immediately cast a spell to summon the Flame-Desire Blood Falcon. The Flame-Desire Blood Falcon was about to fly out of the dimensional gate and make a handsome landing, but it collided with the ceiling of the tomb in mid-air.

The impact caused the ceiling to crack, and debris fell down and hit the four people.

The Flame-Desire Blood Falcon's beak also felt pain. It looked at its master with a confused expression, as if puzzled by the action of summoning it out of this remote place.

"The situation is special, please be patient for now." Yu Qiuyue comforted him gently.

The three people and the bird continued on their way, now more alert and cautious than when they came.

Not long after they moved forward, they caught a glimpse of a giant stone pillar in front of them that was bluish and slightly mottled in color.

This stone pillar should be one of the core pillars supporting the entire ancient tomb. Its shape is like the trunk of a vigorous ancient tree, stretching upright to the highest point of the tomb chamber, firmly supporting the dome of the tomb chamber.

"Roar~!"

“Roar, roar~!”

A deafening and mighty roar rang out, and then several lightning-fast demon figures turned into azure electric light and pounced towards Xu Mu and the other four.

“Crying~~~~!”

At the moment of lightning and thunder, Yu Qiuyue didn't need to give any orders, the Yanyu Blood Falcon instinctively spewed out flames, and the flames poured down like a rainstorm, landing right in front of the demon.

These demons obviously did not expect that a warrior-level summoned beast would follow them, and they did not expect its reaction to be so quick. They had no time to stop and rushed into the blazing sea of ​​fire one after another.

Tragic screams echoed, and in a blink of an eye, the rich aroma of barbecue filled every corner of the tomb.

Several leopard-shaped monsters tried desperately to escape from the sea of ​​fire, but Xu Mu obviously would not let them get away easily.

"Mind Control ~ Void Claw!"

As Xu Mu's mind moved, an invisible giant hand suddenly appeared. It grabbed the cheetah monsters as easily as catching a mouse, and then mercilessly pressed them into the raging fire.

Under the blazing light of the fire, the leopard-shaped demons twisted and struggled with all their might, but in the face of such overwhelming force, their resistance seemed so insignificant that they could not change their fate of being swallowed by the sea of ​​fire.

"Are there living monsters in this damn place?" Xu Mu said in confusion.

He saw it clearly just now. These leopard-like monsters were in good condition, with fresh flesh and blood, and there was no trace of death on their bodies. They were obviously not undead.

A living thing appeared in a dead thing's home?
In this place filled with the aura of death, not only are there no traces of undead souls, but there are also demonic creatures. What on earth is buried in this tomb?

"These are electric blue leopards. Although they are servant-level monsters, they are quite rare and usually only appear in the Qinling Mountains." Lingling explained.

"Although this place is close to the Qinling Mountains, there is still a considerable distance between us. How could the Electric Blue Leopard appear here? And in a tomb filled with a strong aura of death."

Lingling frowned slightly. There was a tacit understanding between the demons of Qinling Mountains and the undead of the ancient capital, and they would not invade each other.

Although the territories of the two are intertwined, the undead will not go to Qinling to cause trouble for the demons due to the restriction of death energy. These undead are just corpses with no nutrition and a foul smell. They are not attractive to demons, and their bones are so disgusting that even dogs would find them unpalatable. Therefore, the demons in Qinling will not easily cross the border to provoke the undead.

But now, the Qinling demon not only appeared in the ancient capital, but also in the tomb of the dead in the ancient capital. This is obviously a big problem.
