Chapter 2641 - 2641 The fourth tomb (1)
2641 The fourth tomb (1)
Compared to the first three mausoleums, the fourth mausoleums were excessively quiet, as if it really was an empty grave.
In fact, this was considered normal. If the tomb was as lively as a market, with experts everywhere, how could they fight this battle?
It would be better to admit defeat directly. Otherwise, it would be embarra.s.sing if he was beaten to a pulp.
True elites were always in the minority and were considered a scarce resource.
After entering the fourth tomb, Tang Zhen had already clearly sensed that the demonic Qi here was extremely dense.
The area occupied by high-level monsters obviously had purer demonic Qi, which gave people a stronger sense of oppression.
Furthermore, it wasn’t like normal demonic Qi, which always appeared menacing like dark clouds and turbid waves. Instead, it silently killed people without them noticing.
This kind of environment was dangerous. If one’s strength was insufficient, they would be silently affected by the demonic Qi.
By the time they discovered the abnormality, it would be too late, and they would become real demons.
It was no wonder that the strength of the people who entered the tombs was so equal. It was obvious that they were not allowed to change battlefields if their levels were not high enough to avoid unnecessary danger.
In the middle of the tomb pa.s.sage, there was a huge mural. As long as one entered, they would be able to see it.
He didn’t know what kind of paint the painter had used, but it made the murals look layered and vivid.
The painter’s level was naturally unquestionable, but there was another reason that couldn’t be ignored. Under the influence of demonic Qi, the murals had some strange functions.
Tang Zhen, on the other hand, was not affected. He took a cursory glance and gained some understanding of the owner of the tomb.
Just by looking at the contents of the mural, one would know that this was a monarch with outstanding achievements, leading the Army to sweep across the world.
In his decades of reign, he had led his troops to defeat countless powerful enemies and occupy a large amount of territory.
When he was about to die, the Emperor lamented that life was short and that he had to face death before he could fulfill his ambition.
In order to not have any regrets, the Emperor did not want any gold, silver, or jewelry. Instead, he ordered people to bury an underground army with him, exactly the same as the Army he had led when he was alive.
After seeing the content, Tang Zhen had a faint feeling that this Emperor who had died thousands of years ago would not stop.
However, such a person had an extraordinary aura and was likely to take advantage of the demon tide to stir up trouble.
He was an outstanding person in life and an outstanding undead in death.
After walking along the tomb for a distance, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. This meant that Tang Zhen had already reached the intersection of the tomb and the devil World.
What appeared in front of him was a piece of wilderness. He could see the bones of dead trees everywhere, as well as b.a.l.l.s of wandering ghost fire.
The level of these monsters was too low and they were unable to detect Tang Zhen’s appearance. At this moment, they were still wandering around aimlessly.
Tang Zhen ignored these low level monsters. Instead, he cast his gaze into the distance. After pa.s.sing through a large withered forest of strange trees, his gaze landed on a large group of palaces.
The palace was shrouded in demonic Qi and was faintly discernible from a distance, as if there were countless ferocious evil ghosts wandering in the demonic Qi.
Tang Zhen had seen the exterior style of this Palace on the mural at the entrance. It was the palace where the Emperor lived after his death.
Originally, it was just a mural, but in the demon Realm, such a Palace had really appeared.
Perhaps the owner of this Palace, the Emperor who had killed countless people, was living inside.
Tang Zhen observed for a moment before covering his tracks and heading straight for the gloomy Palace.
He wasn’t looking for monster monarch. He just wanted to confirm how many experts were there.
When he reached the withered forest, Tang Zhen saw that the branches of the withered strange tree were filled with malevolent skulls.
In his empty eyes, there seemed to be a dark light flashing, secretly peeking at every pa.s.serby.
Dried corpses hung by ropes were swaying gently without any wind, giving off a scalp-numbing rubbing sound.
At the same time, there were also headless corpses that carried great resentment and were wandering around the forest.
Looking at the clothes of these corpses, they were obviously defeated captives. They were sent to the dead forest and then beheaded.
After walking forward for some distance, an execution ground appeared in front of them. The ground was piled with all kinds of heads.
These heads had their eyes and mouths wide open, rolling and b.u.mping on the ground, wailing and complaining.
Waves of demonic sounds entered his ears and continuously circled the execution ground, as if there was a great injustice.
The headless corpses circled the execution ground as if they wanted to find their heads, but they were afraid of the various torture instruments on the execution ground and did not dare to come forward.
The rusty Death’s Head blade, the blood-stained gallows, and the two-person saw that looked like the teeth of wild beasts were the source of these ghosts ‘fear.
In addition to these instruments of torture, there were many bodies of monster soldiers lying on the execution ground. It was obvious that they had not been dead for a long time.
Tang Zhen took a look and confirmed that they had all been killed in one move. Clearly, there had been experts pa.s.sing by here not long ago.
After confirming that the direction he was tracking in was correct, Tang Zhen prepared to continue forward. However, he stopped after taking two steps.
He looked at the monsters ‘corpses in the ground and threw out a white flame, burning one of the monsters’ corpses to ashes.
The monster’s armor and weapons were left behind. Tang Zhen put them on and pulled down the face plate on his helmet.
He was dressed like a monster, and perhaps he could use this disguise to catch the enemy off guard.
After pa.s.sing through the withered forest, there was a huge square in front of them. When Tang Zhen approached it, a loud battle cry suddenly pounced over.
It was obvious that there was a special force field between the square and the forest that could isolate the spread and transmission of sound.
There were dozens of figures flying around in the square, fighting with monsters. From their equipment, it was obvious that they were cultivators from loucheng city.
Tang Zhen was shocked when he first saw them. He thought that they were all King level cultivators, but after taking a closer look, he realized that there were only three king level cultivators.
The others were all Lord-tier cultivators, only at Level Seven or eight. They were still a distance away from reaching the king-tier.
The problem was that it wasn’t difficult to level up in such an environment where he was constantly killing monsters.
Perhaps it wouldn’t take long for the dozens of Lords present to advance to king cla.s.s.
A killing intent flashed in Tang Zhen’s eyes. If he killed all of these Overlord cultivators, it would definitely cause a heavy blow to the fourth battle area.
Compared to the king cla.s.s cultivators, the Lord cla.s.s cultivators were the backbone of the Army. They would definitely be able to advance to the king cla.s.s before the war broke out.
If they were all killed, it would be equivalent to cutting off an arm of the 4th battle area, which would have a huge impact on the future battle.
Although the idea was good, it was extremely difficult to do.
Although he was a King level cultivator, he wasn’t invincible. It was impossible for him to be the opponent of dozens of Lord level cultivators.
A master of creation whose strength was sealed couldn’t be treated as an ordinary lord, because the gap between the two was like heaven and earth.
Furthermore, there were three king level cultivators standing guard at different locations in the square, watching the battle closely.
The purpose of their appearance here was probably to prevent the appearance of King-tier monsters, such as the master of the palace.
If Tang Zhen were to make a move, the three king level cultivators would definitely not sit by and do nothing. They would kill him immediately.
In addition to the a.s.sistance of dozens of overlords with strong awareness and rich combat experience, Tang Zhen would find it difficult to escape even if he grew wings!
