The cave inside the tomb was colder than he had imagined. The gloomy aura was enough to make people with low cultivation lose their minds and go crazy. After Lu Xiaotian entered the cave, he felt that the suppression on his Divine Sense was even deeper than the situation outside Ill Wind Valley.
The space inside the cave was very large. More than a thousand feet away, it was gray and dark. He couldn't see anything except for the faint sound of the wind. Along the way, he would occasionally step on one or two pieces of white bones, making cracking sounds.
Lu Xiaotian frowned. He tried to endure the discomfort caused by this situation and tried his best to pay attention to his surroundings. Occasionally, he would look back, but he could no longer see the situation at the entrance of the cave. The cave that was there before seemed to have moved to another place. This place was strange.
Lu Xiaotian's expression changed slightly. It wasn't because he was lost. In fact, he had the Origin Tortoise Shell, so there was no risk of him getting lost. It was just that the soul inside the Soul Confining Bead had already entered this place and didn't mention it to him.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaotian's expression became slightly ugly. He wanted to keep his promise, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would be tricked by the soul inside the Soul Confining Bead. After tricking him into this tomb, because the gloomy aura here covered the surrounding situation, his Divine Sense couldn't detect anything further. Presumably, the Nascent Spirit in the Soul Confining Bead thought that by tricking him into this tomb and grasping the escape route, it would be able to grasp his weakness. If it were the previous him, if he did not have the Origin Turtle Shell, he might have really fallen into the trap.
However, for the so-called secret, he had to endure it for the time being. He wanted to see what kind of tricks this guy wanted to play. If he didn't have any bad intentions, then so be it, but if he did, then this guy would regret it. While Lu Xiaotian's heart surged with anger, his impression of this guy also dropped to the bottom. It had been a long time since someone schemed against him like this. Moreover, this person used him to keep his promise to scheme against him.
Lu Xiaotian had been in the Immortal Cultivation World for a long time. Although his hands were stained with many lives, he still had a bottom line. If there were no accidents, he would do his best to fulfill his promises. The Primordial Spirit in the Soul Confining Pearl thought that he had succeeded. Taking advantage of the fact that Lu Xiaotian's escape route had been cut off, he wanted to tie Lu Xiaotian to his chariot. However, he did not know that he would lose even more in the future.
Cut! A sharp pain came from his leg, as if something had bitten him. Lu Xiaotian was secretly startled as he saw a stone the size of a human head seemingly come to life. It opened its mouth wide and bit Lu Xiaotian's calf. Its abstract face was actually filled with ferocity as it swung its head left and right, as if it wanted to use this force to tear off a piece of flesh from Lu Xiaotian's leg. However, this fellow had no arms or legs, only a ball-like body. It looked rather comical.
"It's actually a Stone Beast!" Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. This Stone Beast was a very peculiar demonic beast. Unlike ordinary demonic beasts, its life aura fluctuation was normal. When the Stone Beast was still, it was completely like a stone hiding there. Not to mention that Lu Xiaotian was only a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, even a Jin Dan cultivator might not be able to detect the Stone Beast under his feet. Because it had no arms or legs, the Stone Beast's movement speed was very slow. It was considered good if it could move a few hundred meters in a year. Usually, it would wait for prey to approach it like a stone. Then, it would suddenly burst out and swallow the prey, just like the one in front of him.
This kind of hunting method was destined to not catch many things. If it was an ordinary demonic beast, it would have already starved to death. However, the Stone Beast also had its own unique way of survival. Compared to the Drought Tortoise, it could endure starvation. Its demand for food was unimaginably low. It could survive by eating one meal every few years. Moreover, the Stone Beast itself was worthless. After it was killed, it would just be a piece of useless stone. Its skin was thick and resistant to beatings. Even Lu Xiaotian estimated that it would take several heavy blows to break it. If an ordinary person or demonic beast was bitten by this thing, they could only curse at their bad luck. Lu Xiaotian was naturally the same. It was not worthwhile to bicker with this broken stone.
He kicked the Stone Beast to the side in annoyance. However, there were a few bite marks on his calf, and a bit of blood was faintly oozing out. If it was not for his high level of Body Cultivation, if it was someone else, their leg would have been bitten off, and a piece of flesh would have been bitten off.
"What bad luck, the Brilliant Star Stone that was almost in my hands was actually snatched away by that damned monster."
Lu Xiaotian walked for a while and encountered two more attacks. Although he was not hit, he was still annoyed. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the front. It sounded a little familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard this voice. It should have been a long time ago.
It seemed that there was more than one person. Those who could appear in this place were not easy to deal with. Lu Xiaotian did not know who the enemy was, so he hid.
"The next time I meet that monster, I will capture it and refine its soul," another gloomy voice sounded.
Lu Xiaotian held his breath, intending to listen to a few more words. Suddenly, there was a gust of wind behind him. Lu Xiaotian was secretly startled, but he did not panic. The golden puppet appeared out of thin air and blocked his back. The two heavy swords in its hands slashed horizontally at the gust of wind.
When Lu Xiaotian turned his head, he saw a huge white skeleton draped in a skeletal battle skirt. It held a rusty broadsword in both hands and rode on what looked like a tiger skeleton. The tiger skeleton, which had been abandoned as a mount, was pushed back by the huge recoil. It directly hit the stone wall and came to a stop with a bang.
"What a powerful puppet!" the owner of the gloomy voice behind him exclaimed in surprise.
He was actually discovered. Lu Xiaotian's heart trembled. He saw that among the scattered bones on the ground, an incomplete skeleton crawled up and pieced together a broken hand into its own hand. Then, step by step, it stood behind a black-robed old man.
No wonder it used such a method. Lu Xiaotian's eyes flashed. In this kind of place where Yin Qi was dense, ghost cultivators really did have a unique advantage. It was in this kind of place where Yin Qi was extremely dense that Lu Xiaotian's consciousness was suppressed to a certain extent. Moreover, he had to constantly pay attention to the potential dangers around him. Generally, the bigger threats would not be able to escape his eyes. The soul of the skeleton in front of him that had discovered his whereabouts was extremely weak. Under the cover of the Yin Qi in the tomb, it was overlooked by Lu Xiaotian.
"Kaka, I didn't think that I would fall at the hands of such an inconspicuous, crippled skeleton." The black-robed old man let out an extremely unpleasant laugh, appearing rather pleased with himself.
