Chapter 141 Authentic
Chapter 141 Authentic
As the lightning gradually dissipated, the dazzling light gradually faded away. Although the terracotta warriors who were originally covered by the lightning stopped their creepy words, their actions were not affected at all, and they still approached Lin Chuan and Huang Ningbing.
"Isn't it controlled by the Yes-Man?" Lin Chuan frowned, his face full of confusion and puzzlement.
"Star Slash!"
Suddenly, a sharp sword energy formed by the Yin-Yang sword intent roared out. The sword energy seemed to be wrapped in the power of the stars, brilliant and sharp, and swept towards the terracotta warriors with an unstoppable momentum. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be cut apart, making a "hissing" sound.
"thump!"
Following the sound, the densely packed human figures fell down in large numbers like harvested wheat.
Under the impact of the sharp sword energy, they were completely unable to resist and broke into several pieces in an instant. The broken limbs were scattered all over the ground, and the bright red juice flowed everywhere, staining the floor of the attic with a mottled pattern.
"let's go."
Lin Chuan let out a long breath, his brows still furrowed, his eyes filled with vigilance and suspicion. Looking at the remains of the terracotta warriors scattered on the ground, he always had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Okay." Huang Ningbing responded softly.
However, just as they turned around and continued to walk out of the attic, the red juice that was originally flowing everywhere on the ground and looked creepy suddenly seemed to come to life and began to slowly wriggle.
Then, their speed increased, like nimble little red snakes, quickly converging towards the alchemy furnace. They left wet trails on the ground, making a rustling sound.
"Boom!"
A dull, deafening noise suddenly erupted in the attic. The alchemy furnace, which had been quietly placed, began to slowly move, accompanied by a sharp friction sound, and sparks flew as it rubbed against the ground. As the alchemy furnace moved, a dark tunnel entrance gradually appeared on the ground.
"This is?"
Hearing the loud noise coming from behind, Lin Chuan subconsciously looked back, his eyes full of surprise and confusion.
"What's the matter?" Seeing Lin Chuan stop, Huang Ningbing also hurriedly stopped and looked in the direction Lin Chuan was looking.
"There is actually a secret passage here. Do you want to go in?" Huang Ningbing raised her head slightly and looked at Lin Chuan.
"Yeah." Lin Chuan suppressed his concerns and nodded slowly.
The fragmented words he had seen on the paper before reminded him that the owner of this relic seemed to be refining a longevity elixir. Since he hadn't explored all the way here yet, Lin Chuan wanted to continue exploring.
"Then I'll accompany you."
Huang Ningbing smiled faintly. Although there was still a hint of nervousness in that smile, her eyes were extremely determined. After she finished speaking, she walked straight towards the dark tunnel entrance.
"Aren't you scared?" Lin Chuan asked with confusion.
"I believe in the truth."
Huang Ningbing turned around and looked at Lin Chuan with clear eyes, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
"..."
As Lin Chuan and others entered the tunnel, the originally dark tunnel was instantly lit up by candlelight.
"Roar!"
A series of low animal roars suddenly exploded in the tunnel. The sound seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld. It was dull and extremely penetrating. It kept echoing in this not-so-wide space, making people's eardrums hurt.
Lin Chuan looked in the direction of the sound and saw the end of the tunnel suddenly open up, revealing a vast expanse of space. On either side of this space, specially constructed cages held a variety of bizarre beasts. They varied in form, some as massive as mountains, while others were covered in spiky scales, emitting a cold sheen, their eyes filled with wildness and ferocity.
These strange beasts hadn't left with the ruins' owner, but were trapped here, as if forgotten by time. At this moment, they seemed to have keenly sensed the arrival of Lin Chuan and Huang Ningbing, and they became restless, baring their teeth at them and emitting deep roars. They looked as if they would break free from their cages and tear Lin Chuan and Huang Ningbing to pieces if given the chance.
If the place where they were imprisoned was not filled with a mysterious formation, emitting faint fluctuations of spiritual power, Lin Chuan really suspected that these ferocious guys would break free from their restraints and pounce on them in the next second.
Lin Chuan moved slowly, stopping before a lion-like demon beast. He carefully sensed the aura emanating from the demon beast. The overwhelming and powerful pressure of the Spiritualization Stage surged towards him like a surging wave, causing his breathing to stagnate.
"Good fellow, a demon beast in the Spiritual Transformation Stage, what on earth does this Cangsong Immortal want to do?"
"Maybe he wants to test medicine on these monsters."
Huang Ningbing tilted her head slightly, her gaze falling on the imprisoned monsters, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"maybe."
Lin Chuan observed other strange beasts again and found that the lowest of their auras was at the Jindan realm, and the highest was a sleeping golden giant python, which exuded an aura of the Jiejie realm.
"Aren't these places only allowing those below the Nascent Soul stage to enter? Why aren't the strange beasts here restricted by these rules? Do the rules only restrict outsiders?" Looking at the strange beasts around him that were hostile to him, Lin Chuan became more and more confused.
"There's something there!"
Huang Ningbing's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stretched out her slender finger, pointing to a corner of the space.
Lin Chuan hurriedly looked in the direction Huang Ningbing pointed, and saw an ancient book placed alone in the slightly dim corner.
Lin Chuan walked over quickly, bent down to pick up the yellowed ancient book on the ground, patted it gently, and carefully wiped off the thick dust on the cover. As the dust fell, a line of large characters suddenly came into view - "Guide to Postpartum Care of Exotic Beasts".
Lin Chuan: "..."
"How is it? Did you find anything?" Huang Ningbing came over curiously.
Lin Chuan silently handed the ancient book to Huang Ningbing.
Huang Ningbing: “…”
"Let's look somewhere else." Lin Chuan shook his head helplessly and walked around, his eyes carefully searching the vast space, not missing any corner. Huang Ningbing saw this and hurriedly followed him.
It's no wonder that Lin Chuan's exploration actually yielded a clue. Among the rows of cages holding all sorts of exotic beasts, one stood out: an empty cage.
It stood there quietly, with the cage door half-open, as if something that had been imprisoned there had just broken free.
"I wonder what this brother has gained here?"
At this moment, another group of people came in from the tunnel entrance. Obviously, they must have come here after passing through the illusion and happened to follow the direction that Lin Chuan and the others had taken.
Lin Chuan ignored him and prepared to leave. The empty cage before him made him feel uneasy. Since there were no clues to the longevity elixir or treasure here, he might as well leave.
"You kid, Brother Zhang is talking to you! Are you pretending to be deaf?"
