Shen Luo swung his axe again, and the stone door finally collapsed with a loud bang. Inside was a stone room that was more than a hundred feet in size.
He paid attention to the possible dangers around him, and stepped into the room. Soon, he saw the situation clearly. The stone room was like a study room. There were two bookshelves and a desk. Many ancient books were piled up on top of it.
The quality of the paper of these books was good. It hadn't rotted even after several decades.
It seemed that no one had entered this stone room for several decades. The bookshelves and the desk were covered with dust.
Shen Luo picked up a book from the desk. He shook off the dust on it and flipped through it. Soon, a disappointed look appeared on his face.
The contents of the book weren't about martial arts or spiritual materials. It was about the construction of various mechanisms. The book recorded the methods of making various kinds of traps and mechanisms. There were also some blueprints of siege weapons, boats, carriages, and horses …
He flipped through several other ancient books, and found that they were also about mechanisms.
"According to Fang Yue Gong, the owner of this ancient tomb was a mechanism master. Could it be that these ancient books were left behind by him?" Shen Luo thought to himself.
He then looked around the room. In the end, he found that there was nothing but various ancient books. He was quite disappointed.
However, there might be many good things in these ancient books. But, he didn't have time to look at them. He had two storage magic tools. The space was big enough. So, he put all the ancient books in one go.
He was about to leave when he looked outside. Then, he turned around and walked into the deepest part of the room. Then, he started to chant the Art of Spirit Control.
After a while, Shen Luo walked out of the stone room. He had a bronze arm guard on his right hand.
The other people had broken open a stone door, and were looking for treasures inside.
Shen Luo saw this scene. He turned around and walked to another stone door. He waved his axe and broke it.
After a while, all the stone doors in the hall were broken open. They looted everything inside.
Shen Luo was the fastest. He entered three stone rooms. He didn't find anything good in the first and second stone rooms, but in the third stone room, he found a head-sized emerald green crystal. It looked very dazzling, and it was very similar to the material of his emerald green Ruyi Scepter.
However, unlike the jade ruyi, this crystal was emitting an abnormally cold aura, even colder than the Baleful Yin Mysterious Ice he had obtained before.
For a moment, he couldn't recognize the origin of this item, so he simply put it away.
After checking more than a dozen stone rooms, the six of them had a tacit understanding. They did not ask the others about their gains and were about to continue moving deeper into the hall.
Right at this moment, a roar sounded out from the depths of the passageway, causing everyone's expression to change as they looked towards the source of the sound.
At first, the sound was still a little vague, but as time passed, it became louder and clearer. After a few breaths, it seemed to have approached this place, and the huge sound shook the huge hall until it was buzzing.
The six of them hurriedly took out their respective magic tools, and stared at the rumbling passageway.
Suddenly, a thick black gas gushed out from the front of the passageway, and swept towards the six people like a raging wave. Inside the black gas, there were ghosts in armor, and they were holding swords, spears, halberds, and other weapons. They were soldiers.
These soldiers were covered with scars. Some of them had severed hands, some of them were bleeding, and some of them had their intestines pierced through. It seemed that they were people who had died on the battlefield. After turning into ghosts, they had transformed into their original appearance. They looked quite ferocious and terrifying.
All the soldiers converged into a torrent, and filled the entire passageway. It was hard to tell how many of them there were.
Shen Luo's pupils shrank. From the Yin Qi emitted by these soldiers, he could tell that they were at least at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. There were a few tall ghosts who looked like generals, and had reached the Fasting Stage.
"These are the ghosts of the dead soldiers of the previous dynasty. They are more powerful than ordinary ghosts. Quickly, form the Cloud Hanging Array!" The old man in a scholarly robe shouted, and took out a small white flag to activate.
The others also immediately activated the array, and a white circle of light covered the six people.
As soon as the Cloud Hanging Array was formed, the black gas ghost soldiers rushed less than three hundred feet in front of the six people. Smelling the flesh and blood of living creatures on the six people, the ghost soldiers showed a greedy look and rushed towards the six people.
Whoosh! Seven or eight halberds condensed from Yin Qi slashed towards Shen Luo.
Shen Luo made a gesture and pointed at the emerald green Ruyi Scepter above his head. The Ruyi Scepter immediately expanded to the size of a door, and blocked in front of him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ghost soldiers were all shattered, and the ghosts were also shaken and staggered back.
The short axe in Shen Luo's hand flew out. Streaks of green lightning appeared on its surface. It drew a fan-shaped arc in front of him, cutting the few ghosts into two halves at the waist.
The green electric arcs coiled around the ghostly creatures, causing them to explode and dissipate into wisps of black smoke.
The power of thunder and lightning was the nemesis of ghosts, and the blue lightning on the short axe was even more powerful than the small thunder talisman. Facing these ghosts of the Qi Refining Stage, it was naturally invincible.
In the ghostly howls, two more ghosts rushed from the side.
Shen Luo followed the same pattern. First, he activated the emerald green Ruyi Scepter to block, and then used the blue short axe to kill them.
Although the others relied on the power of the array to resist the ghosts, they were far from as easy as Shen Luo.
The Thunder Axe in Shen Luo's hand swept left and right. His speed was fast, and he appeared and disappeared like a ghost. He easily killed one ghost after another. In the blink of an eye, he had killed 20 to 30 ghosts.
At this moment, a tall figure wrapped in black gas suddenly shot out from the depths of the black gas, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Shen Luo. A cold light flashed in all directions, and a halberd appeared above his head and chopped down.
Boundless murderous aura erupted from the halberd, almost forming a strange field that enveloped Shen Luo.
"A ghost at the peak of Inedia!"
Shen Luo's complexion was startled, but a trace of joy appeared in his eyes. He made a gesture to activate the emerald green Ruyi Scepter on top of his head, and his other hand took out the Qiankun bag, ready to collect the ghost.
The emerald green Ruyi Scepter was activated by him, and a green light was released. In an instant, it expanded to the size of a millstone, and met the attack head-on. The red gem inlaid on the Ruyi Scepter also blossomed with a dazzling red light, and complemented with the emerald green light. The emerald green Ruyi Scepter's power increased a lot.
"Clang!" a loud sound was heard!
The halberd chopped the emerald green Ruyi Scepter, and a thick mass of black gas gushed out from the halberd. It overshadowed the light emitted by the Ruyi Scepter, and sent it flying.
A huge force was transmitted to Shen Luo's body, and the blood in his body surged. The circulation of his magic power also stagnated, and he didn't take out the Qiankun bag.
Fortunately, his emerald green Ruyi Scepter was a high-grade magic tool, and its power was extraordinary. The tall ghost was also knocked back. The black gas around its body dispersed, and its figure was revealed. It was an unusually tall ghost, wearing a bright armor, and holding a halberd. It was obviously a general when it was alive.
