C16 Ancient tomb
At the entrance of the ancient tomb, there was a path paved with rocks. It was dark red in color, and it looked like dried blood, which was quite eye-catching. When Ye Feng and Liu Xue saw this, their hearts were filled with fear. This kind of place would reveal a strange feeling.
The gentle breeze flowed through the tunnel, causing everyone to feel a chill down their spines.
The two of them looked at each other, steeled their resolve, and continued to walk forward.
The two of them walked slowly. There wasn't much light in the tunnel. Suddenly, Ye Feng pressed down on something, and a ray of light appeared around them. Then, the light began to spread out in all directions.
The entire tomb was brightly lit, and a small lantern hung on the wall every so often. However, the lantern was gray, and when paired with the red, it looked even more sinister.
Liu Xue subconsciously cried out in surprise, saying, "Where did you press this?"
Ye Feng pointed at the wall and said, "It should be around this direction. After I touched it for a bit, there are already some of the current ones!"
The two of them simultaneously looked over and saw that there was indeed a slightly protruding rock on the wall. It was no different from other rocks as it only protruded a little. If they did not look carefully, they would not be able to discover it.
Liu Xue and Ye Feng simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief. Although the lantern was strange, the places with light were much better than places without light.
The two of them walked with their heads down. They did not want to talk much in this kind of place.
In truth, Ye Feng felt that the person who built this tomb was very talented. Although this tomb looked very large, it was still better than an ordinary palace. It was like a palace hidden in the middle of a mountain. As for the palace built on the mountainside, it was naturally much more powerful than the one built on the flat ground.
Therefore, when Ye Feng walked, he held an appreciative attitude. He felt that it was a bit strange. While he was admiring it, he felt as if there was a breakthrough in his body, as if he had been touched by something. Ye Feng did not think too much about it. He did not know that cultivation was often focused on comprehension.
Comprehension, on the other hand, did not come solely from the comprehension of cultivation. Sometimes, one's appreciation for the good things that happen in life would also lead to a breakthrough. Training came from life.
Liu Xue was somewhat baffled. She seemed to have sensed that Ye Feng's aura had become even more powerful just a moment ago, as if it had broken through. She felt that she must have been a little suspicious in the ancient tomb, who could have broken through without a reason?
Not long after, Ye Feng's mind became even stronger and he steadily entered the Second Sky of Sky Realm. He astonishingly discovered that after breaking through, his strength had increased fivefold.
Overjoyed, he walked more briskly.
"Eh, what's in front?" Liu Xue pointed at the ground in front of them.
Ye Feng followed her gaze and saw that there were many small holes on the ground in front of her. The hole was at least fifty meters long.
Not only the ground, but even the surrounding walls were the same.
It looked quite strange, and it revealed a sense of danger.
"This is …" "A trap?" Ye Feng thought. If it really was a trap, then it was too dangerous.
However, Ye Feng felt that perhaps the creator of this ancient tomb wanted to let everyone know the difficulties and retreat, but he did not want everyone to rush in.
"It should be, I'll try!" As Liu Xue spoke, under the great surprise of Ye Feng, she stepped into a corner and instantly shrank back.
However, a moment later, a sharp arrow shot out from the place she had stepped. It hit the stone wall of the passage with a "weng" sound.
Liu Xue still had lingering fear as she patted her chest. So it turned out that all of these places were traps. Wasn't that a bit too terrifying?
Ye Feng looked up and found that the stones that were hit by the arrow had also shattered into pieces. It was obvious that the power of the arrow was not weak at all. It was at least a few thousand pounds of strength. This kind of experiential learning based arrow would most likely kill a person after being struck, so how could his body defend against it?
Liu Xue recalled her previous action and realized that it was only after stepping on that that the trigger mechanism would be activated. Could it be that if she didn't step on it, there was no need to trigger? When she thought of this, she first used her sword to sweep the area in front of her and discovered that there were no traps activated. Thus, he used his arm and put it in the air. It wouldn't be a problem to test it out.
He was immediately overjoyed. So this mechanism also had a weakness, which was that the body would not trigger it while in the air. However, this place was rather low and small. If one jumped from one side to the other, instantly moving fifty meters was a little difficult. If one hit the top, they might not be able to grasp the strength, wouldn't they die?
Tens of thousands of arrows shot out. Just thinking about it, Liu Xue felt scared.
Liu Xue couldn't help but turn her head to look. She discovered that a hole had appeared on the side of the tunnel, and it was so dark that she didn't know where the tunnel led to. Ye Feng was standing at the entrance of the hole, looking at the stone in his hand.
"You found a shortcut again?" Liu Xue was overjoyed.
"En, I'm thinking the creator of this tomb will definitely not walk this path. Since he can't walk this path, then there must be a safer path!" Ye Feng said.
Liu Xue nodded her head. This was a very good idea, but in times of crisis, it was very difficult for an ordinary person to find such calmness. She greatly appreciated Ye Feng's calmness.
They did not want to walk that path filled with traps. The two of them walked into the cave and used a different path. When the two of them entered the room, they heard a "pow" sound and the wall closed again. Liu Xue subconsciously grasped Ye Feng's arm tightly. He couldn't see his fingers in front of him, it was extremely terrifying.
Ye Feng only felt that his arm was about to come across a big, soft and comfortable object. His heart skipped a beat, and he excitedly walked to the front.
In the darkness, it was unknown how long the two walked for. If it was the same person, then it would definitely be extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, a light appeared in front of them. They saw the lantern and knew they were back on the main road.
Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief. He was originally afraid that Liu Xue would get hurt, but now he was finally safe.
Liu Xue was still holding onto Ye Feng's hand, but she didn't want to let go.
Ye Feng did not think too much about it, and continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, Liu Xue cried out ah again. She pointed forward, her body slightly trembling.
Ye Feng frowned. He could also tell that a pile of palm-sized scorpions had appeared in front of him. However, there were hundreds of crimson scorpions, and each of them had a shining barb that made one's scalp tingle.
"Magical beast, Scarlet Scorpion!" Liu Xue shivered.
This kind of Magical Beast could not be considered powerful individually, but their numbers were numerous and incomparably powerful. For a cultivator of the Duo Heaven stage, they were the magical beasts that they did not wish to encounter the most.
"Don't be afraid, I'll deal with them!" Ye Feng patted the back of her hand and said gently.
Liu Xue couldn't help but look at him in puzzlement. Even she didn't dare to touch this kind of magical beast, so how could Ye Feng? With a trace of suspicion, Liu Xue let go and seriously looked in front of her.
Was Junior Brother Ye Feng really not afraid of a magical beast appearing in front of him?
Against so many magical beasts, Ye Feng naturally couldn't beat them. However, he had an ability, and that was beast taming. Although he wasn't sure if this ability could be used on magical beasts.
As he walked over, his mind suddenly felt tens of mental fluctuations. This was the mental fluctuation of a Magical Beast. He knew that it was sufficient to control these Magical Beasts.
After all, Ye Feng's spiritual power was limited, so it was naturally impossible for him to control so much at the same time. He looked around and immediately noticed that among the demonic beasts, there was one that was the largest. He thought to himself, could it be a beast king?
With a thought, he immediately gave the order to retreat.
The scarlet scorpion raised its head to look at Ye Feng, revealing a puzzled expression. It was obviously struggling.
Ye Feng suddenly increased his spiritual energy and took control of the magical beast.
It helplessly lost. If it were to compete with Ye Feng in spiritual sense, then it would definitely not be able to do so.
After the magical beast failed, it revealed a hint of obedience and let out a few cries. When the other magical beasts heard this, they all revealed looks of surprise, but they all obeyed and left. They might not understand what was happening, but since the beast king had given them the order to retreat, they did not dare to stop.
Liu Xue was incomparably shocked. Ye Feng just stood there, not doing anything, not even saying anything. These magical beasts just directly retreated. Why? Was she scared by him?
Liu Xue's heart was filled with questions, and she felt that Ye Feng seemed to have some secret on him. He was completely different from an ordinary disciple.
Ye Feng was also somewhat surprised, he didn't think that his beast control ability would actually be able to be used on a magical beast. He originally thought that these abilities could only control ordinary wild beasts, but now it seemed that they could also control magical beasts.
"The method of the Heavenly Stele is really different!" he thought.
He continued to walk forward. It seemed like there was no more danger, so he walked quite smoothly.
The two of them walked to the end of the passageway, where a secret room appeared. Although it was called a secret chamber, it was still quite large, comparable to a palace. There were all sorts of things inside, including armor and weapons.
Liu Xue looked around and discovered that the armor that was erected on the ground held a high quality long sword. It was much better than the long sword in his hand. She immediately smiled and walked over, wanting to grab the long sword.
Ye Feng was sizing up the area, and immediately saw a black broadsword, and was prepared to go over. However, when he saw Liu Xue go to get a weapon, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and teleported over, just in time to see the armor come to life. He waved the long sword, and looked towards Liu Xue's right hand.
Only now did Liu Xue clearly see that there was clearly a Skeleton Man inside the armor, flashing with a ghostly blue eye, completely astonished. She was shocked and forgot to move. She just stood there and watched the long sword coming at her. She thought to herself: It's over, I'm dead for sure!
But at this moment, he saw the long sword in front of him tilt a little, it turned out that Ye Feng was just in time to be moved, his fist had landed on the Skeleton Man's arm, the huge force sent him flying, with a "kuangdang" sound, he fell far away.
However, this Skeleton Man was also quite strong and did not know of the pain. After it fell, it immediately stood up and looked at Ye Feng in confusion. It then wielded its long sword and attacked.
Ye Feng was shocked, he did not have a weapon in his hand, the attack just now was only a surprise attack, he did not dare to use his fist to clash with the long sword.
