After leaving the main hall, Su Chen and the other three went back the way they came.
At this time, the black river had disappeared. There was still a lot of black liquid left on the ground. It smelled very pungent and seemed to be poisonous.
Su Chen punched out and flames formed a wall of fire to block the poisonous gas. He led Hua Qian and the other two to continue moving forward.
After walking for more than an hour in the complicated underground tomb, Su Yi and the other three felt a little dizzy.
Although he knew the general structure of the ancient tomb, the environment inside was too complicated. Many paths were full of danger, and it was very difficult to choose a relatively safe path.
Suddenly, Zhou Yi seemed to have sensed something and stopped.
"There's a dangerous aura approaching!"
Su Chen also sensed that their luck was declining.
Bad luck was about to happen.
"Get ready to fight!"
Although they did not know what bad luck was, they could only brace themselves at this moment.
Hua Qian and Xiao Yu took out their magic treasures immediately. The four of them stood back to back, shoulder to shoulder, guarding one side. They did not even dare to breathe.
"Ah, ah, something is scratching me!"
Xiao Yu suddenly screamed and subconsciously punched forward.
Although Xiao Yu was a cultivator who grew up in a greenhouse, he was still in the Immortality Tribulation Stage. The power of his punch was extraordinary. It directly distorted the space in front of him.
"Ah!
Someone is touching my breasts! "
Zhou Yi's face suddenly turned red. She pouted coquettishly and shot out a ray of light, illuminating the entire underground space.
"What's going on?"
Su Chen frowned. He sensed everything, but he could not sense any enemy's aura. This was too strange.
Hua Qian waved his hand and shot out hundreds of flying knives. They all hit nothing but air.
Su Chen did not care about anything. He first shot out a small fireball to test the waters. The fireball exploded, and heat waves surged, illuminating the surroundings.
The attacks of the four of them had completely covered the surrounding area. No matter how good the enemy was at hiding, it was impossible for him to continue hiding.
However, they still did not see the enemy.
Slash!
Suddenly, a bloody mark appeared on Xiao Yu's face. It was so painful that he gasped.
It was like a mark made by the claws of a beast.
"Hiss!"
Hua Qian's face suddenly turned pale. His body arched as if he had suffered a heavy blow to his abdomen. It was so painful that he couldn't breathe.
"Ah, it touched me again!"
Zhou Yi was so scared that she jumped up like a frightened rabbit.
Su Chen's heart was burning with anxiety. Suddenly, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, as if something had bitten him.
Su Chen tensed up. The Heaven-Destroying Sword circled around his body and pierced towards the back of his head, but it missed.
Su Chen was unwilling to give up. Divine imprints surged out, directly sealing the surrounding space, at the same time protecting the four of them.
Under the protection of the divine runes, the unknown enemy did not continue to attack.
"It's too scary. I want to go home …" Xiao Yu was completely terrified.
Zhou Yi's legs trembled as she clutched her chest. She was both angry and scared, and tears appeared at the corners of her eyes. She was a pure and flawless young girl, how could she endure such humiliation? She couldn't even see the other party's shadow, and she felt aggrieved and anxious.
Hua Qian had recovered a little by now. He stood up straight and scolded, "What is it that is acting so sneakily? Show yourself if you have the guts!"
There was no movement at all.
Hua Qian was also in despair. Encountering such a mysterious enemy, having a body full of strength but no place to use it was the most unbearable.
Zhou Yi said with a sobbing tone, "Saint, what should we do now? I don't want to die!"
Su Chen said, "No matter who the enemy is, at least it doesn't have the intention to kill us now. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for us to defend against those attacks just now. We shouldn't be wasting our time here. Our priority should be to find a way out."
Hua Qian nodded, "Saint is right. I could feel that the punch just now was obviously held back. The other party's strength should be far above ours. It might even be an existence in the Saint Realm. It probably doesn't have any evil intentions, and just wants to toy with us for some fun."
"Really?
Don't lie to me, I'm a coward, "Xiao Yu said while trembling.
"Don't worry, with the protection of my divine imprints, the other party shouldn't be able to sneak up on us for now. Follow my footsteps closely and move to another place first," Su Chen said as he used his divine imprints to open a path and continued forward.
Their journey was peaceful, and they didn't encounter any more attacks.
Unknowingly, the four of them arrived at a dilapidated building.
This seemed to be a temple, but it was already very dilapidated, and it was difficult to see its original outline.
In the center of the temple, there was a deep pit about ten meters in diameter. There were spiral steps at the edge that led to the bottom.
Standing at the entrance of the pit, waves of cold wind brushed against their faces.
Su Chen threw a small fireball into the deep pit.
The fireball continued to fall, and they could vaguely see that at the bottom of the pit, there seemed to be a dark golden metal coffin.
"Have we reached the center of the ancient tomb?" Hua Qian said in shock.
Su Chen shook his head, "We are still very far from the main tomb. This should be a side tomb, and the ones buried here should be the Spirit King's family. However, coming here can be considered an opportunity, and it's worth going down to explore.
“
Zhou Yi and Xiao Yu didn't want to go down. After all, there was bound to be danger in the tomb.
However, if they were to leave Su Chen now, they would be even more frightened.
Seeing Su Chen so excited, they knew that they couldn't stop him. They could only brace themselves and follow Su Chen down the stairs.
After a while, the four of them finally arrived at the bottom of the deep pit. Just as the four of them landed, the surrounding rock walls suddenly emitted a hazy light.
It was amber!
A huge piece of amber!
Inside, they could see many perfectly preserved corpses. There were Monstrous Beasts and Immortal Cultivators, but there was no sign of the Spirit Race.
The Spirit Race didn't have a physical body, and naturally couldn't be preserved in such a way.
Among them, there was an extremely large ferocious beast. Although it had died many years ago, it was perfectly preserved. Even its expression was vivid and lifelike. Its despairing eyes seemed to be completely frozen in the river of time.
The time in the amber seemed to have been sealed. It was completely preserved in its original state, without any changes.
Seeing this scene, Su Chen and the other three were extremely shocked. This kind of scene was rare.
Very quickly, Su Chen and the other three's attention was focused on the dark golden coffin.
The coffin hadn't been placed inside, as if it had been randomly placed on the ground. It was extremely hurried.
However, the coffin was tightly sealed, and there were no gaps at all. It should be perfectly preserved.
Su Chen carefully walked forward. He could faintly see that there were many characters carved on the surface of the coffin.
These characters were completely condensed from Soul Power, and had been preserved for millions of years without dissipating!
"This is … the Soul Book Inscription. It records the Spirit Race's secret Soul Techniques. We've struck gold!" Hua Qian said with wild joy.
