Lu Li did not move around. He stayed here for a long time and asked Blood Fairy to check the corridor next to the two rows of coffins to see if there were any runes or if the runes would trigger the yellow-haired demon to come out and attack.
"It's okay!"
A moment later, Blood Fairy said, "There are no Divine Patterns in the middle corridor. But if those yellow-haired demons sense it, they may attack. Master, be careful."
"Okay!"
Lu Li nodded and moved forward slowly. He used the Trace of Dao to sense the situation inside the coffins on both sides. Divine energy surged in his body. He was ready to dash forward at any time.
One step, ten steps, one hundred steps.
Lu Li had passed through the two coffins. Halfway through, the coffins on both sides showed no change. He was a bit relieved.
However, when he passed through the first row of coffins and entered the middle of the second row, something unexpected happened —
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
All the coffins glowed at this moment. Many yellow hairs shot out like needles toward Lu Li. They were fast. There were so many yellow hairs that Lu Li could not dodge.
Lu Li knew that he had to take the brunt of the attacks. He released Dragon Crossing and Heaven Armor at once to fend off the yellow hairs.
At the same time, he took out the Relic metal and was ready to attack at any time.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
It was as if countless needles were landing on Lu Li's body. There was a muffled sound as if rain was falling on a flagstone.
Lu Li's defense was strong. The yellow hairs could not penetrate his body.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li began to attack as well. He swung the Relic metal and smashed at the yellow hairs in front of him.
The Holy Weapon fragment was horrifying. The yellow hairs in front of him were crushed. Without any hesitation, Lu Li dashed forward.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh ~"
From all sides, the yellow hairs kept coming. If it were not for the fact that Lu Li's defense was strong, he would have been riddled with holes.
He was fast. He swung the Relic metal and passed through the coffins. Soon, he arrived at the end of the hall.
Lu Li stood in front of a door in the hall. The yellow hairs behind him had shrunk back. Lu Li touched his nose with lingering fear.
He looked at the coffin with fear. Just a few hairs were already so terrifying. If the real body came out, how strong would it be?
Would any one of them come out and kill him in one move?
"Whatever, let's go!"
Lu Li shook his head and walked towards the door. As soon as he stepped in, it was another long hall with dim light. Lu Li could barely make out what was going on inside.
"Hmm?"
Lu Li looked around and noticed that there were some statues on both sides of the wall.
These statues weren't particularly large. They were all half-orc monsters with sharp teeth and maces in their hands. They were twice the size of Lu Li and looked quite oppressive.
"Something's wrong …"
Lu Li took a few glances and realized something was wrong. He found some broken stone powder and some broken limbs. They were not of humans or beasts, but of stone statues.
"As expected!"
He looked around and saw that there were some empty spaces among the sculptures standing by the wall.
He came to a realization. These statues were not statues, but puppets.
These puppets could move and attack. The stone powder and broken arms that were smashed were smashed by the people who had entered before.
Lu Li stopped using the Dragon Manipulation Skill but kept the Heaven Armor Skill active. He moved forward slowly but kept his eyes on the statues on both sides.
"Buzzing ~"
When Lu Li passed through the first row of statues, the ones on both sides glowed. Then the ones on both sides "came to life". The two puppets lowered their bodies and the ground trembled. The two puppets rushed toward Lu Li in a blur and smashed at him with their huge maces.
"Hoy!"
Lu Li swung his fist. Since Lu Ling and the others could pass through, he believed that these puppets wouldn't be too strong. At least, they couldn't hurt him.
"Boom!"
His fist and the maces collided. Lu Li trembled but the puppet was smashed away. Lu Li felt a bit of pain between his thumb and index finger but it wasn't enough to injure him. Lu Li felt more confident.
"Move!"
He dashed forward. The rows of statues on both sides lit up and many strong half-orcs dashed toward him.
Lu Li released the Dragon Manipulation Skill again. Relying on the Heaven Armor Skill and his strong body, he withstood the attacks from all sides. He punched and knocked back the puppets one by one. At the same time, he moved forward quickly.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang ~"
One puppet after another was smashed away. Lu Li's physical strength was not strong enough. He could only smash the puppets away, but he couldn't break them.
Similarly, many maces landed on Lu Li but they couldn't hurt him. He just felt a burning pain.
He could easily withstand this level of attack, so it was very smooth for him to pass through it.
The hall was long. Lu Li had been moving forward for the time for half an incense stick to burn and he still hadn't reached the end. He had run into more than a thousand half-orc statues.
It didn't matter how many statues there were. They couldn't hurt him anyway. Lu Li moved on. Gradually, the hall became smaller and became a corridor. But there were fewer statues and they were gathered together in twos and threes.
Lu Li sped up as well. He basically ignored the statues and dashed forward. The corridor began to turn and he had to go around in circles.
Lu Li didn't know how many half-orc statues he had run into. He didn't know how far he had gone. Finally, he reached the end of the corridor. There was a door in front of him.
"Whoosh!"
A group of half-orc statues caught up with him. Lu Li dashed in without hesitation and went through the door.
After a flash of white light, Lu Li found himself in a cave. On both sides of the cave were dim bronze lamps. The path was winding and Lu Li couldn't tell where it led to.
Lu Li frowned. Wasn't this the mysterious area that Saint Emperor cultivated?
How come it was like this?
Why was the place where Saint Emperor lived so gloomy?
Shouldn't the place where Saint Emperor lived be like a fairyland?
Lu Li asked Blood Fairy to lead the way and check for any runes. After a while, Blood Fairy did not find anything. Lu Li followed her.
He didn't dare to move too fast. He kept an eye on the surroundings. Even the golden-haired man and the statues could move and attack him. Even a blade of grass or a tree could be hurt.
If he were careless, he wouldn't even know how he died.
For the time for one incense stick to burn, Lu Li didn't run into any monsters. There was nothing in this gloomy tunnel apart from stones.
"Something is not right …"
As Lu Li walked on, he suddenly sensed something was not right. Up ahead, there was a thin layer of mist spreading out. Something must be going on.
He was right!
In the time for a few breaths, Lu Li sensed some shadows flashing by in the mist. They were like ghosts.
The shadows hid well and when they floated around, there was no fluctuation. Psychic power could not be used here as well. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Li had the Trace of Dao, he wouldn't have sensed them so easily.
