Chapter 89 Gray Leopard
"Maybe there is a passage leading to the tomb in the Qinling Mountains, and they just happened to find it and came here to investigate." Xu Mu made a speculation.

"I hope so." Lingling responded with worry in her heart.

"This bracelet..."

Xu Mu couldn't help but frown as he looked at the bracelet on his wrist, which was extremely bright and almost comparable to an initial level Radiance skill.

The closer to the core of the tomb, the brighter the bracelet becomes. Before, the light in the outer area was as weak as a firefly, but now it can catch up with the light.

"I think you should find someone who knows about this bracelet to take a look at it. It's very unusual," Yu Qiuyue suggested.

"Well, I'll ask someone when I get back."

The three continued to move forward. Except for the blue electric leopards they encountered at the beginning, the rest of the journey was smooth and unobstructed, and they finally arrived at the main tomb chamber smoothly.

At the entrance of the main tomb chamber stands a huge stone gate, which is half open and half closed, and the thick smell of death escaping from it is chilling.

The four people walked through the stone door cautiously. As soon as they stepped into the tomb, an almost suffocating aura of death swept over them, as if it would instantly transform the living flesh and blood into the bodies of the undead.

In this suffocating atmosphere, a gray-white giant leopard, which was even larger than the Flame-Desire Blood Falcon, stood out and became the focus of their sight.

The giant leopard's fur is like a thin layer of frost, with a grayish-white base tone and covered with strange patterns that are unique and complex.

On its abdomen, there is a scar that is two-thirds the length of the abdomen. It is winding and twisted like a centipede, and looks particularly eye-catching and hideous.

What is even more shocking is that there is an obvious notch on the giant leopard's forehead!

The gap was as big as a watermelon. Through it, one could even vaguely see the gray tissue structure inside the leopard's brain. With such a big gap, the brain must have drained out!

Although these wounds were horrific, they were not worth mentioning for the undead. What was really eye-catching was the thick death aura lingering on the undead giant leopard, which was hundreds of times thicker than anywhere else in the outside world.

The tomb was empty except for the leopard, and all the suffocating deathly air came from it.

The death energy was so dense that it could float to the ground and could not be dispersed by the sunlight. With such a strong death energy, this undead leopard must have at least sub-monarch-level power!

"...Let's leave." Yu Qiuyue swallowed her saliva. Facing the undead leopard, her legs trembled unconsciously.

She was a person who had seen the world and had seen commander-level and grand commander-level monsters, but the sense of oppression displayed by the leopard in front of her was something she had never encountered before.

"This leopard is an undead ghost. I'm afraid it will notice us when we are cleaning up the corpses and rotting carcasses on the ground." Xu Mu also swallowed nervously.

He also thinks it's better to run, provided the other party can give them the opportunity.

As soon as the words fell, as if in response to Xu Mu's guess, the gray-white leopard slowly opened its eyes, and its two cold and emotionless white pupils stared straight at Xu Mu.

"Ho~~~!"

The gray-white leopard let out a roar that shook all four sides, and it echoed like thunder between the walls of the tomb. Then, an even thicker aura of death rushed towards them, making it almost impossible to breathe.

This suffocating feeling of oppression made it extremely difficult for them to even cast magic, let alone fight.

The concentration of death in the air suddenly increased, as if it had leaped to a whole new level. If there were slave corpses sleeping here, they would surely evolve into great war generals within ten years!

Is this leopard the reincarnation of Sha Yuan?
Xu Mu gritted his teeth, trying hard to resist the oppression of death. However, before he could fully adapt to this feeling, the gray-white giant leopard had already begun its attack.

Black lightning flashed on the gray-white leopard's body, accompanied by crackling arcs. It had its eyes closed just now, and everyone could only estimate its strength by the deathly aura on its body.

Now that the leopard has opened its eyes, the dual biological and spiritual pressure it releases clearly shows that its strength is by no means at the sub-monarch level, but that of a small monarch, or perhaps even a more powerful great monarch!
Why would there be an undead demon of the great monarch level in the tomb of an undead corpse minister?

"The Great Lord's Undead Spirit! Dean Xiao, you are trying to trick me!"

In his heart, Xu Mu cursed Dean Xiao, the dean and teacher who cheated his students. Facing the great monarch, let alone the fact that he was only at the middle level, even if he was at the high level, he might not be able to defeat him.

Even though he couldn't win, he couldn't just sit there and wait to die.

"I don't know if my thunderbolt will have any effect on it. After I cast the magic, we'll run away separately!" Xu Mu said, gritting his teeth. In the face of such a strong death aura and pressure, it was easier for him to cast magic than Ding Yumian and Yu Qiuyue, as he had mastered the One Thought Star Map.

"Lingling, there is a diary under my bed. If I die, you can show the diary to old man Bao. After that, remember to ask him to erect a monument for me all over the country."

"Are you crazy? You still want to erect a monument at this time?" Lingling gritted her teeth, her face covered with cold sweat, and her petite body was trembling.

She is not a magician, and the only reason she has been able to hold on until now is because of the protection provided by the magic weapon on her body.

"I have a space scroll. If you can give me three seconds, I can take you all away." Lingling said immediately.

"Three seconds, I'll try my best!" Upon hearing that, Xu Mu decisively started to connect with Xingzi.

"Wait, don't cast magic yet!" Just as he was about to take action, Ding Yumian hurriedly spoke up to stop him.

Xu Mu looked at Ding Yumian with doubt, but he did not stop. The stars continued to connect into star tracks, and he began to draw star maps between the star tracks.

"This undead has no ill will towards us!" Ding Yumian said anxiously, "And it was a thunder demon when it was alive. Now it is even more powerful after death. Your magic can't break its defense. Leave it to me later!"

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Xu Mu nodded.

For the monarch-level undead, it is no longer a question of whether they can resist lightning, but a question of not being able to break through their defense at all.

Ding Yumian is a victim of psychic magic. Although psychic magic may not be effective against monarch-level undead, it is definitely more useful than his thunderbolt.

boom!
As soon as the two finished talking, the black lightning on the leopard's body condensed into a lightning ball, and then the lightning ball turned into a dazzling beam of light, suddenly shot towards the ceiling, penetrated the soil and rocks, and finally accurately hit a giant corpse that was dozens of meters tall.

Everyone looked up in astonishment. Why didn't this undead leopard attack them? And when did this corpse minister catch up with them?
The giant corpse let out an angry roar. Apparently, it had not expected that the gray-white leopard, instead of dealing with the four humans who had trespassed into its home, would choose to attack it.

This bastard!
It occupied its old nest where it had slept for hundreds of years, and now it is attacking it! It's just a leopard, but it has been an undead corpse for hundreds of years. Does it really think it can't beat it?

The giant corpse stretched out its huge bony hand, wanting to slap Xu Mu and the others to death with one slap.
The giant corpse stretched out a huge skeletal hand and tried to slap the undead cheetah to death along with Xu Mu and the others.

As soon as the giant corpse stretched out its huge palm, the black thunder ball instantly flew in front of it, pierced through its palm, and accurately hit its forehead which was larger than a bus, releasing an unstoppable destructive force.

Even though the giant skeleton had amazing defense, it still seemed as fragile as paper in front of the thunder ball.

It was like millions of small black snakes winding and weaving across the body of the giant skeleton. The impact of the thunder ball and the destructive power of the black lightning blew each bone into pieces. The fine bone fragments were like dancing snowflakes, filling the entire space.

After a while, the originally huge corpse was completely destroyed, leaving only white bone powder scattered around.

Boom!
A huge undead crystal rolled down to Xu Mu's feet, originating from the giant undead skeleton that was dozens of meters high.

"It's not directed at us?" Xu Mu glanced at the three women and found that they also showed puzzled expressions.

Is it because they are too weak that the gray-white leopard feels that using skills is a waste of energy and that ordinary attacks are enough?
"Huh~~~~"

After destroying the giant corpse, the thunder on the gray-white leopard did not subside, but instead flashed even more fiercely. It walked straight towards Xu Mu and lingered around him.

It sniffed here and there, making low gurgling sounds from its mouth.

"Brother Leopard, do you, a ghost, really have such a rich sense of smell?" Xu Mu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

High-level undead do have a certain sense of smell, but they can usually only detect specific smells, such as the strong smell of blood, while the aroma of flowers or barbecue is imperceptible to them.

After all, they are undead, dead things, and their bodies are dead. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot change this fact.

If the senses of smell and taste of high-level undead are no different from those of ordinary people, but their bodies are cold, then they probably cannot be called dead people, but should be regarded as a completely new form of life - new humans!

The gray leopard apparently realized that it had lost most of its sense of smell and could not capture the expected smell, so it stopped wandering, stood directly in front of Xu Mu, and closed its cloudy white eyes.
