An ancient tomb!
To most of the players in World of Martial Arts, it was a dangerous place.
Dirt Puppets and Stone Giants were very powerful trap puppets. They were made of normal stones and dirt, and after special modifications, their bodies were incredibly large and strong. Not only did they have considerable combat power, their movement speed did not lose to martial artists who had reached the ninth realm of their lightness skills. Basically, if anyone below Blessed Realm ran into them, their chances of escaping were very slim.
However, the most terrifying thing about them was their resistance to attacks. Since they were made of specially modified dirt and stone, the former had a sticky and negating force, which made them very difficult to deal with. The latter's body was as sturdy as metal, and normal swords would find it hard to injure them. Qi had to be added to their bodies, or else, the damage to their weapons would be very obvious.
Legend had it that this dangerous place was created by a trap master who walked down the path of evil in Secret Valley. His skill with traps and puppets was astonishing, but since he had killed too many people, he was chased by the heroes of the world and forced to flee. The underground ancient tombs that filled the world were built while he was fleeing.
…
The ancient tomb was built in an abandoned stone mine. It was very desolate and hidden, but it was very easy to recognize it from the outside. There were two Longevity Lamps by the sides of the ancient tomb's entrance, and they shone with a dark blue light. The dim light illuminated the area, but it did not provide any warmth. Instead, it added a cold and dangerous air to the forest at night.
As the sound of wind being pushed rose outside the silent ancient tomb, two black figures quickly appeared at the entrance. One was to the left, and the other was to the right. They were Happy and the tall man.
"The Stone Giants and Dirt Puppets are guarding the ancient tomb. We'll only discover them if we go in." The tanned man looked inside warily and reminded Happy, "The tunnel inside the ancient tomb isn't very wide.
It's about 328 feet deep, and there will be seven or eight Stone Giants and Dirt Puppets along the way. They'll be in groups of two. "
"Okay."
Happy nodded to show that he understood.
"When we go in later, follow behind me. Be careful not to let them pounce on you. Even if you're injured, don't stop. Shake them off at full speed. There are a lot of twists and turns inside, and they won't be able to follow us far. We'll look for a place once we enter the main hall of the ancient tomb." On the way, he witnessed Happy's lightness skill, and it was only then that he decided to change his plan. He gave up on luring the Dirt Puppets and Stone Giants and took the initiative to enter the ancient tomb to search for a single spot to train his martial arts in the main hall.
When he saw that Thunderous Battle was very familiar with the moves, as if he had practiced for a period of time, Happy did not raise any objections.
"Turtle Shell Art!"
Thunderous Battle growled. His qi surged, and a faint layer of gray light swiftly covered his body. His skin became even sturdier at that moment, and it shone with a faint metallic luster.
His gaze shifted to Happy, and he reminded him in a low voice.
"Get ready!"
His expression became stern, and he nodded at Thunderous Battle. He quickly changed into the Great Wolf Pelt Equipment Set and activated Gate Realm. His body became lighter, and he bent his knees slightly.
"Go!"
With a growl, Thunderous Battle no longer hesitated and rushed into the ancient tomb.
Happy followed closely behind her and entered the ancient tomb, which did not have a good field of vision.
Roar!
The inhuman roar was accompanied by heavy and hurried footsteps.
Not far away from the entrance of the ancient tomb was a huge humanoid puppet that was three meters tall. It was a Stone Giant! Its grayish-white body was half a meter thick, and it looked incredibly sturdy and indestructible. At that moment, it closed in on Thunderous Battle, who had entered the ancient tomb, with an oppressive presence. Its facial features, which were made of stone, were incredibly stiff. It had an angry and brutal expression on its face, and it did not look like it wanted to welcome the duo.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The Stone Giant's movement speed was indeed astonishing. With just a few steps, it arrived in front of Thunderous Battle. Its arm, which was made of stone, was its strongest weapon. It threw a long punch at the charging Thunderous Battle, and it was so fast that it did not lose to Happy's Shaolin's Long Fist.
The huge punch brought with it a howl that tore through the air and a thunderous roar!
The Stone Giant's punch coincidentally locked down most of the space in the narrow tunnel. Thunderous Battle could not avoid it, so he gritted his teeth and withstood the Stone Giant's attack.
"Go!"
Happy knew that with Thunderous Battle's strength in Blessed Realm and his body fortification skill, he would not be in any danger within a short period of time. Without hesitation, he moved past the Stone Giant and Thunderous Battle.
Once Happy moved past him, Thunderous Battle used the force from the Stone Giant's punch to retreat more than thirty feet and catch up to Happy.
Thud thud thud!
The Stone Giant chased after him madly.
When Happy rushed over, he was immediately targeted by a black humanoid monster with a severely deformed body and abnormally long limbs. It was a Dirt Puppet! And he ran into two of them at once.
"Careful!"
"I'll do it!"
Thunderous Battle did not expect that the area ahead of him would be so dangerous. When he saw that Happy was about to run into the Dirt Puppets, he growled and increased his speed.
"Don't worry."
Happy could tell that Thunderous Battle was in a bad situation, and he scowled.
"I can go over."
He did not slow down, and he did not intend to let Thunderous Battle attract their firepower.
Even though Thunderous Battle was pretty good, Happy could still tell that he did not have the experience of a Daoist. He relied purely on withstanding the firepower to "borrow" his path. It would have been fine if it was just one Stone Giant, but if he ran into two Dirt Puppets, and there was another Stone Giant behind him … If he stopped, they would soon catch up to him, and if this continued, it would be even more dangerous.
"Don't force yourself!"
With Thunderous Battle's speed, even if he had a lightness skill at Grandmaster Realm, it would be impossible for him to catch up to Happy within a short period of time. When he saw that Happy was about to run into the two Dirt Puppets, his expression instantly turned incredibly dark.
However …
When he saw that the Dirt Puppets' arms were about to swing at him, Happy resolutely threw out two throwing knives.
A cold glare shone.
Clang!
Clang!
The throwing knives struck the faces of the two Dirt Puppets and bounced to the side. Even though they did not sink into their bodies and did not cause any obvious damage, the powerful impact at the critical moment still caused the Dirt Puppets' heads to tremble slightly. They could not help but freeze for a moment, and Happy was able to nimbly pass through them.
This scene caused Thunderous Battle to be dumbfounded.
While the Dirt Puppets' attention was focused on Happy, he quickly caught up to them. He broke through the gaps between the Dirt Puppets and followed behind Happy.
"You've entered an ancient tomb before?"
Thunderous Battle stared at Happy curiously. In truth, he could already tell just then that it was definitely not a miracle created by Happy's carelessness. Happy's judgment of the Dirt Puppets' attacks, their movements, and the timing of his attacks were on point. His body also moved very naturally, as if he had practiced it thousands of times, or else, it would have been impossible for him to be so relaxed and confident.
Happy shook his head and did not explain.
Because another Stone Giant appeared.
He used the same trick again.
Happy easily moved past a few Stone Giants behind him and entered a relatively spacious room with Thunderous Battle.
The spacious room caused the two of them to be even more fearless. Happy followed behind Thunderous Battle and passed through a few rooms. He shook off all the Dirt Puppets and Stone Giants behind him and entered a hall that had a diameter of 328 feet.
There were one or two Dirt Puppets and Stone Giants in each of the four directions of the hall. Due to their limited field of vision, they wandered around in a small area in a daze.
Both of them tacitly stared at the Stone Giant at the innermost corner at the same time.
