Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After walking for a distance, they saw transcendent experts gathering not far away. These people were on guard against each other. Even their positions were particular. They could deal with all sorts of sudden changes at any time.
There were also small groups of three to five people but there weren’t many of them.
There were men and women, old and young, some with blonde hair and blue eyes, and some with black hair and black eyes. Only a small portion of them had dark skin and vigilant expressions.
The arrival of Li Xiang and the others immediately attracted the attention of these people and they all looked at them. However, they didn’t observe for long before they turned their heads to look elsewhere.
Although Li Xiang and the others had extraordinary temperaments, they didn’t get much attention because the people had long been attracted by other things.
!!
“What’s the situation?”
Li Xiang and the others were curious and they sped up a little. When they reached a nearby spot, they immediately saw a strange scene.
It was a huge hole but the hole went straight down, leading to the underground.
The real reason why this hole was strange was that it was not dug by someone, nor was it broken through by some kind of underground force. Instead, the ground had collapsed.
At this moment, water from nowhere was pouring into the hole, but it did not seem to be filled at all. On the contrary, as the flow of water grew stronger, the sound of the water continuously reverberated, as if it had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
What was even stranger was that there seemed to be the sound of the wind whimpering in the cave, like crying or laughing and like a man or a woman. Just hearing it made one’s hair stand on end, and a chill ran down one’s spine.
This was also the reason why so many people stopped moving forward once again.
Whether it was this strange cave entrance or the terrifying sound coming from inside, they were all too terrifying.
The sound that sounded like the wailing of a malicious spirit made people’s scalps go numb as if it contained endless dangers.
The ancient people said that it was better to listen to the wailing of a ghost than to listen to the laughter of a ghost because the laughter of a ghost meant someone was going to meet danger.
But what should they do now that the malicious spirit inside was crying and laughing?
Let it be!
The unknown was the source of all fear.
Since they were all here for the treasure, no one would retreat at this time.
Therefore, many people gathered their courage.
“Let’s go. Since we’re already here, how can we be scared away by a small hole? If we want to get the treasure, how can we not take the risk?” said a blond-haired burly man in plate armor. He carried a big sword on his back and his face was full of determination.
Before he finished his words, he jumped into the pitch-black hole.
When he entered the hole, he realized that he was initially descending vertically. However, after he descended for more than a hundred feet, the hole became inclined. As long as he controlled his balance, he would be able to control his body easily.
The only thing that could not be stopped was the rapid flow of the water. He could only follow the flow of the water.
“Since there’s a leader, what are we waiting for? Are we waiting for the treasures to come to us? If we don’t take the risk to fight for things, we’ll never have a chance. Opportunity isn’t something we wait for. It’s something we fight for. Not to mention not seeing a ghost, even if we did, how could a mere malicious ghost be our match?”
A burly man with long black hair and a fierce look jumped in with a bunch of ghost heads.
Now that two people had entered, thus the others didn’t hesitate.
Moreover, these two people were right. If they were to wait for the treasures to come to them, wouldn’t that be a joke? If they didn’t take risks, how could they gain anything?
Thus, they didn’t show any signs of weakness and jumped into the cave one after another.
In the beginning, most of the people who entered were alone. The groups entered one after another later.
In the blink of an eye, more than half of the hundreds of experts surrounding them had gone.
Li Xiang looked at the deep cave entrance and his eyes flashed. Under the support of the Star Law, his pupils turned silvery white. In an instant, he could see the dense death and negative aura flowing within the cave.
“This isn’t a common cave. This is a burrow. Is there a tomb underneath? Or a ruin!”
Regardless of whether it was a large tomb or a ruin, after being sealed underground for so many years, it was bound to give birth to countless evil spirits. However, if one wanted to obtain a precious treasure, one could only enter it.
As the saying goes, ‘nothing ventured, nothing gained.’
Any great tomb would definitely be built in a land of feng shui treasures. However, now that the myriad realms had fused and the terrain of the mountain had changed. The great tomb, which should not have been too dangerous, was filled with danger now.
Regardless of what the owner of the tomb had hoped for, whether it was to bless his descendants, seize the good fortune of the heavens and earth, or achieve immortality, all of them would now become terrifying demonic creatures.
In addition to the heaven and earth’s powers gathered by the feng shui array, these demonic creatures were probably ridiculously strong!
A top-tier feng shui treasure ground could produce a great devil due to the rich heaven and earth’s powers. Naturally, it could also spawn supreme treasures. Therefore, it was normal for such treasures to come from this great tomb. However, such treasures were bound to be at the core of the great tomb. If one wanted to obtain them, one would encounter more dangers.
Li Xiang only knew a little about feng shui, but he could tell from the negative and death aura that emerged from the ground that there was great danger below.
“What a great tomb! This mountain and water are like a dragon and phoenix. It’s terrifying!”
At this moment, a young man dressed in a Taoist robe flew over. His gaze swept through the surroundings before finally landing at the entrance of the cave.
The man carried an ancient battle sword on his back. The runes on it were filled with a faint golden glow. At a glance, one could tell that it was not an ordinary item.
“Friend, I see that it’s extremely dangerous and unpredictable down there. Why don’t we travel together?”
The young man glanced at the people following behind Li Xiang and suggested with a clear gaze.
“Oh? Why are you looking for me? There were quite a number of people here just now!” Li Xiang asked curiously.
“Haha! It’s because your strength is unfathomable and you have so many experts behind you. It’s naturally safer to be with you. Since we’re working together, naturally the stronger the companion, the better! Moreover, I, Ye Qiu, have the Judging Skill. I can see that your luck is sky-high. It’s safer to go with you!”
“I see. You know Judging Skill?”
Judging Skill was a skill in the eastern cultivation system. It was extremely profound and could not be comprehended by ordinary people. But once mastered, one could observe and judge people, the mountain, and the situation. It was very powerful.
Of course, there were many restrictions, but this was not something that Li Xiang could know. After all, Judging Skill was rare and the threshold was high. This was the first time he had seen someone who knew the skill.
“Hehe, I’m just a sect secretary. It’s not worth mentioning!” Ye Qiu chuckled and asked, “How about it? Do you want to join me? If we join hands, we’ll be invincible in the tomb!”
Li Xiang looked at this guy who acted as if they were close friends and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had never seen this kind of person who would squeeze himself into a stranger’s group.
“I don’t know anything about this situation. Moreover, I have many enemies. There might not be any benefits if you follow me. On the contrary, it will attract a lot of danger. Are you sure you want to follow me?”
“Haha! There is risk in doing anything. You might even choke to death while eating. Since I have chosen a friend, it is naturally my fate to live or die. I will accompany you to the end!”
