Cultivating Immortals in the Family: Rising from Beast Familiarity

Chapter 288 The battle inside the mausoleum 【Subscription】

"Everyone, if you work harder, you will succeed in no time!"

In the valley, Zhou Mingde violently attacked the stone wall at the bottom of the deep pit below, while shouting for everyone to increase their attack power.

At this time, they had been attacking for more than an hour, and the layer of yellow aura above the stone wall below was only a little thin.

The Earth Armored Dragon had already appeared before, and they were easily repulsed by them.

Now the only obstacle preventing them from entering the cave is the stone wall.

After hearing Zhou Mingde's words at this time, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang were also excited and slightly increased their attack power.

After continuing to attack like this for about a quarter of an hour, the yellow aura on the stone wall finally dissipated completely, and everyone's attacks finally fell on the stone wall.

Boom!

With a loud roar, a big hole was blasted out of the stone wall below the pit in an instant.

"It's really a mausoleum!"

On the ground, looking at the interlayer stone wall exposed from behind the stone wall, Zhou Mingde's eyes also focused, revealing a look of surprise.

There is no doubt that it is impossible for a real cave to build defenses in such a way of enveloping them layer by layer.

Only the mausoleum of high-level monks will take pains to build multiple protections to prevent people from disturbing their sleep.

"Since it is a mausoleum, there should be a tomb door. Now that the tomb passage has been revealed, shall I find out where the tomb door is and enter from the main entrance!"

Shen Borong stared at the exposed tomb passage below, and expressed his opinion in a deep voice.

He has a point in saying that.

Because when the high-ranking monks built the mausoleum, in order to prevent the mausoleum from being violently destroyed, they would arrange some self-destruct means.

If someone forcibly destroys the overall structure of the mausoleum and penetrates into the tomb where the coffin is located, the self-destruct means will be triggered, destroying and destroying the relics and corpses left behind.

At the same time, in order to prevent people from violently destroying their tombs, the owner of the tomb often builds a main entrance passage leading directly to the main tomb, and sets up various tests.

As long as someone can pass the test, they can go directly to the main tomb and take away the relics left by the tomb owner.

After obtaining all the relics of the tomb owner in this way, it can be regarded as having a cause and effect with the tomb owner.

Therefore, as long as they are monks with normal conduct, they will not damage the remains of the owner of the tomb, nor will they damage the tomb.

At this time, after listening to Shen Borong's words, Zhou Mingde pondered for a while, then nodded lightly and said: "You can try to find it. If there is a main entrance, you can really try to enter through the main entrance."

"My concubine thinks so too."

Ruan Hongzhuang also nodded.

So after the three of them protected themselves, they asked Zhou Chun and the other three juniors to preside over the formation on the ground, while they themselves jumped into the bottom of the deep pit and started exploring along the tomb passage.

The dark tomb passage is quite spacious, with a distance of three or four feet between the two sides, and there is a decaying smell in it.

For the sake of caution, the three of Zhou Mingde mobilized their mana to isolate the outside world from contact with their bodies, and walked slowly forward to explore.

After walking along the tomb path for more than 300 zhang, the three of them arrived in an underground cave.

The underground cave hall is in the shape of a semicircle with a radius of about ten feet. There are two closed stone doors on the wall on the side of the mausoleum. In front of the door are two strange stone beasts with the body of a tiger and a bull.

Obviously, this is the main entrance of the mausoleum that Zhou Mingde and the others were looking for.

"How to open this door? It seems that the owner of the tomb didn't leave any revelation!"

After Shen Borong released his divine sense to scan the cave hall several times, he expressed his doubts with a suspicious face.

"Isn't it the best explanation for leaving no obvious revelation?"

Zhou Mingde glanced at him, and said lightly, "I'm afraid that the first test is to test whether I have the strength to break through this gate!"

"Is that so?"

Shen Borong frowned, seemingly in disbelief.

But at this time Zhou Mingde had already sacrificed his flying sword and chopped towards the stone gate.

Sure enough, as soon as Feijian reached the door, a yellow light curtain suddenly appeared and blocked it.

At the same time, the two stone beasts in front of the gate also looked like sleeping lions that had been awakened, and there was an aura in their eyes, as if they had been given life.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Mingde and the three of them were all refreshed, and they all cheered up and got ready.

Soon, the two stone beasts fully entered the state and launched an attack on the three of them.

The earth-yellow spiritual light gathered in the mouth of the stone beast on the left, and soon turned into a beam of light and blasted towards Shen Borong.

The stone beast on the right had flaming eyes, shooting out two fiery red rays towards Zhou Mingde and Ruan Hongzhuang.

The three of them also wanted to test the strength of the stone beast, and they all chose to resist the stone beast's attack.

As a result, the three of them were a little relieved.

Although the stone beast's attack strength is not weak, and has fully reached the third-order level, it is at most comparable to the middle-stage monks of the Zifu.

It is impossible for the three of them to be unable to stop this kind of rigid attack.

After finding out the details of the stone beasts in this way, the three people and one demon began to attack the two stone beasts first.

But what the three of them didn't expect was that the two stone beasts could also enjoy the protection of the protective light curtain at the gate of the mausoleum, and their attacks were all resisted by the light curtain.

In this way, it means that the three of them are going to break the yellow light curtain against the stone beast's attack.

Seeing this situation, the three of them resolutely left the area of ​​the cave hall first.

And as if someone was controlling them, after the three of them exited the cave, the two stone beasts fell silent again, and did not attack the three of them again.

"What should I do? Do you want to continue entering through the main entrance?"

Inside the tomb passage, Shen Borong frowned, looked at Ruan Hongzhuang, and asked Zhou Mingde in a low voice.

Zhou Mingde naturally understood what he meant.

After all, Ruan Hongzhuang was injured, if she continued to enter through the main entrance and broke through despite the stone beast's attack, she might not be able to survive until the moment of breaking through.

But if you don't enter from the main entrance, you have to bear the risk of self-destruction of the mausoleum.

Zhou Mingde couldn't help frowning for a moment.

At this moment, Ruan Hongzhuang took the initiative to speak out.

"You two fellow Taoists don't have to worry about this concubine's body. Although my concubine's body is injured, if I concentrate on resisting the attack of the two stone beasts, I can still handle it. However, it will take a lot of effort for the two fellow daoists to attack the tomb gate. .”

When she said this, she continued in a calm tone: "Of course, the concubine has contributed less here. If there is no place to contribute more in the future, when the things are finally distributed, the concubine will also take less. The two friends are at a disadvantage."

Hearing her words, Zhou Mingde's eyes flashed strangely, and he immediately made a decision and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Ruan has no problem, then follow what Fellow Daoist said."

Before he knew it, he had become the actual leader of the team, the one who gave orders.

So after resting outside for a while, the three of them re-entered the cave hall and attacked the stone gate against the attacks of the two stone beasts.

And when the three of them concentrated on attacking Shimen, the earth armored dragon suddenly came out and harassed the three of them.

This earth armored dragon is like an annoying fly, it can't be beaten to death, but it often jumps out to disgust people.

Under its harassment, the speed of Zhou Mingde's three breaking the door was greatly reduced, and they even had to use the rare third-order magic talisman to save the field.

After more than three hours of stumbling like this, the three of them successfully broke through that layer of protection and destroyed the two stone beasts.

Bang!
Just after the two stone beasts were destroyed, the closed stone door opened automatically with a roar.

At this time, the three of them raised their eyes and saw that there was indeed a spacious corridor behind the stone gate. They did not know where it led, but it might be the main tomb.

Compared with the tomb passage that the three of them had walked through before, this passage seemed a bit narrow, even less than two feet wide.

However, unlike the tomb passage, there are many more murals on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, which seem to record the life of the tomb owner.

"There is the power to suppress the spiritual consciousness inside, and my spiritual consciousness can only go a dozen feet deep inside!"

Zhou Mingde looked at the corridor behind the gate and whispered about his situation.

Hearing his words, Shen Borong quickly interjected: "Shen is better, but he can only go twenty feet deep."

Seeing this, Ruan Hongzhuang also said: "The concubine's body is the same as that of Zhou Daoyou, and can only be released for more than ten feet."

"Is it a formation to suppress the consciousness? Or some other method!"

Zhou Mingde murmured that he couldn't confirm the reason for this kind of thing.

Shen Borong heard the words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said with some uncertainty: "It's probably a formation, if it's other means, it's a big deal!"

Zhou Mingde listened to his words, just nodded his head slightly, and immediately asked: "Then who of us will go in first?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang were silent and did not answer.

There is no doubt that the monk who entered the tunnel first will definitely encounter the test set by the owner of the tomb inside.

But now no one knows what that test is and how dangerous it is.

Naturally, no one is willing to take the initiative to explore the way ahead.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde immediately said: "Well, whoever takes the lead in going in first will count as an extra effort, and when the things are divided later, they can get an extra share!"

"This……"

Shen Borong opened his mouth, as if he wanted to object.

But Ruan Hongzhuang at the side interrupted at this time: "I have no objection, and I am willing to let the two fellow Taoists go first."

In this way, there is no need to repeat Shen Borong's unfinished words.

Zhou Mingde also took advantage of the situation and looked at him and said, "Then fellow Taoist Shen, do you want to take credit for this?"

"Since it was suggested by Fellow Daoist Zhou, Shen will not argue with Fellow Daoist about this."

Shen Borong's complexion changed for a while, and he quickly shook his head, refusing to be the first to take the lead in.

Hearing his words, Zhou Mingde immediately smiled and said, "Since Fellow Daoist Shen is so modest, then Zhou will not be polite to Fellow Daoist!"

Although he decided to go to explore the way first, Zhou Mingde did not act immediately, but took Huiyuan Pill outside to restore his mana.

When he recovered his mana to perfection, he blessed the Vulcan jackal with the secret technique of "Beast Spirit Battle Armor", allowing him to explore the way ahead.

One foot, two feet, three feet...

The Vulcan jackal walked cautiously and slowly in the corridor, and soon penetrated more than ten feet into it.

Outside the corridor, the three of Zhou Mingde stared nervously at the back of the Vulcan jackal.

After going thirty feet deep into the tunnel like this, the Vulcan Jackal finally encountered an attack.

At that time, a rich yellow light suddenly appeared on the four stone walls up, down, left, and right where the Vulcan jackal was, and soon formed a cage to imprison it in place.

Immediately afterwards, a howl sounded from the depths of the tunnel, and a golden flying sword pierced through the air and shot towards the Vulcan jackal.

Ow!

At the critical moment, the Vulcan jackal let out a roar, and directly spit out the inner alchemy that he had worked so hard to condense.

The fiery red inner alchemy flew out, just in time to collide with the flying sword.

Immediately, Feijian was knocked out by Neidan, and fell to the ground exhausted.

There was also a slight gap where the inner alchemy collided with the flying sword, as if it was bitten by something.

When the inner alchemy returned to the Vulcan Jackal's body, the Vulcan Jackal also whimpered, and the corners of his mouth overflowed with dark red animal blood.

The inner alchemy is related to the life of the monster, and any damage to the inner alchemy will also be transmitted to the monster's body, causing internal injuries.

Vulcan jackal's inner alchemy was damaged, and he didn't have ten years of recuperation after returning, so he couldn't even think about recovering his vitality.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Mingde also felt distressed.

Master and servant have been getting along for nearly 200 years, and the relationship between him and Vulcan jackal can be said to be as close as brothers.

When Zhou Chun and Zhou Daoquan plotted against Master Jiang and caused the Vulcan Jackal to be poisoned, he almost got angry with Zhou Chun, a junior whom he valued deeply at that time. This shows the importance of the Vulcan Jackal in his heart.

Seeing Vulcan jackal injured at this time, he felt very guilty and regretted that he should not have taken up this pathfinding task.

Immediately, he rushed into the corridor in a hurry, sacrificed his magical weapon and attacked the cage that trapped the Vulcan jackal.

Compared with Zhou Mingde who was heartbroken and regretful, Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang had a look of joy in their eyes when they saw the Vulcan jackal was injured.

As a third-tier middle-grade monster, Vulcan Jackal was undoubtedly stronger than its master, Zhou Mingde.

Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang had always been afraid of this monster, so they could only bear with Zhou Mingde's tough attitude.

But now that Vulcan's Jackal was injured, the two of them regained hope of balancing the strength of both sides.

If the injured Vulcan jackal could no longer match up with Shen Borong, a mid-stage cultivator in the Zifu, then Zhou Mingde would naturally not have the strength to overpower the two of them.

It's just that I am happy in my heart, and I still have to do superficial work.

Looking at Zhou Mingde who was still struggling to rescue his beloved pet in the corridor, Shen Borong quickly shouted: "Friend Zhou, we are here to help you."

After speaking, he also followed into the tunnel to help.

In this way, with the help of Shen Borong and Ruan Hongzhuang, Zhou Mingde quickly broke the yellow cage and rescued the Vulcan jackal.

But although Vulcan Jackal was rescued, the task of exploring the way was not finished yet.

After Zhou Mingde fed the Vulcan jackal with healing elixir, he looked at the dark corridor in front of him, and then looked back at Shen and Ruan, who had calm faces. He could only grit his teeth and push himself up.
