Lü Luo pondered for a moment and said,
"I'm not sure either, it's just a guess. Perhaps the stone tablet I hold once teemed with life, but it expended all its energy, leading to its current state."
"Don't forget, the far west was once attacked by King Mo. We tomb keepers were also cursed. This stone tablet might have exhausted its energy while protecting us."
"That's certainly a possibility," Zhang Yang replied.
He looked up at the green crystal on the altar.
The corpses of the Chi Yan tribesmen were continuously regaining vitality, but the crystal's own brilliance was slowly dimming.
However.
A new problem had arisen.
Zhang Yang had suspected for the past two days that the crystal skull that appeared in Shennong Gorge was actually King Mo himself!
Then.
King Mo had been sighted in the far west, and now he was here too.
What exactly was this King Mo trying to achieve?
Could the heart of the endless abyss in the far west belong to King Mo?
"By the way, how was the three-headed bird in the far west dealt with?" Zhang Yang asked.
"We cut off two of its heads, and it finally escaped," Lü Luo said.
At that time, when Lü Luo and his people entered the endless abyss.
They happened to encounter the three-headed bird fighting a giant python that had transformed into a flood dragon.
Although the giant python, having transformed into a flood dragon, could steadily suppress the three-headed bird.
The three-headed bird's physical body was very strong, and the giant python could do nothing to it.
Later, Lü Luo led his tribesmen to attack, severing two of the three-headed bird's heads, causing it to flee in disarray.
Zhang Yang understood somewhat upon hearing this.
The three-headed bird was not something from the tomb guarded by Lü Luo and his people.
It had been brought in by an outsider.
This person was undoubtedly King Mo.
After all, only they were in the far west, and the three-headed bird was desperately guarding the heart in the cave!
Therefore, even if the heart didn't belong to King Mo, it was definitely brought by King Mo.
Fortunately, the giant python had accidentally swallowed it.
Otherwise, keeping this heart might have been even more dangerous.
"Master, look quickly, these people's fingers are moving."
While Zhang Yang and Lü Luo were talking, the giant python and the giant crocodile were also curious, watching with wide eyes.
Upon noticing the reaction from the Chi Yan tribesmen in the altar, they immediately said.
Zhang Yang looked up at the crystal above the altar and thought to himself, as expected.
The brilliance of these crystals was even dimmer than before.
It seemed that the longevity technique in Shennong's tomb was due to these crystals.
Instantly.
Zhang Yang had the thought of whether he could take the green crystal out.
And at this moment.
Everyone suddenly felt a strong sense of danger approaching!
That familiar evil aura had reappeared!
Not good!
Someone had entered Shennong's tomb!
"Chi Yan, you stay here and watch. Giant Python, Giant Crocodile, let's go and see!" Zhang Yang shouted.
"Er Dan, let's go too!" Lü Luo also called out.
Immediately.
Their group left the underground space.
When they emerged, their expressions had all changed drastically!
At this moment.
A group of bizarre beings stood before them.
Leading them was a crystal skull with a strange glow in its eyes.
Behind the crystal skull were a group of black figures whose faces could not be seen clearly.
These people.
Zhang Yang and the others recognized them, and were very familiar with them!
They were the heroic spirits of King Mo's Hall!
"Hehehe! Little brats, it's all thanks to you, otherwise, this King wouldn't have found the entrance to Shennong's tomb so quickly!" the crystal skull cackled.
Zhang Yang and the others looked solemn.
They had shattered this crystal skull's head yesterday.
How could it have restored its body and even its skeleton today!
Moreover!
The missing heroic spirits of King Mo's Hall had also arrived!
"If I'm not mistaken, you are King Mo?" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
"Hehehe, you're not entirely without skill, to have guessed this King's identity," the crystal skull let out a strange laugh.
Then, emitting a strange black primal energy all over his body, he said in a deep voice.
"Since you know this King's identity, get out of the way quickly and don't disturb this King's resurrection plan!"
"Hmph!"
Zhang Yang immediately snorted coldly.
"You're already dead and buried, so don't come out to harm people again. Today, with us here, none of you will get in!"
"Heh heh, that's not up to you." The crystal skull's eyes flickered with a strange light, and he raised his stiff arm.
"Go, my children, kill them all and help your King revive!"
Boom!
Immediately.
All the heroic spirits of King Mo's Hall charged towards Zhang Yang.
The surging black primal energy even evaporated a significant portion of the life force in the underground space.
"Kill them!"
Lü Luo's gaze sharpened, and he also waved his hand, ordering Er Dan and his tribesmen to attack.
The two sides already had a mortal enmity.
Meeting today was the perfect opportunity to settle their past grievances!
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang stood with the giant python, both facing the crystal skull directly.
"You cannot enter!" Zhang Yang said in a deep voice.
He merely blocked the crystal skull's path, not daring to act rashly.
Because...
The crystal skull, now possessing a skeleton, felt even more terrifying to Zhang Yang.
Even the giant python, who had transformed into a flood dragon, felt a tremor of unease.
"Heh, with just you? Can you stop this King?" the crystal skull said dismissively, striding forward openly.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang quickly shouted.
"Little snake, attack!"
"Roar!"
Immediately, a dragon's roar echoed.
The giant python's form suddenly enlarged, swiftly charging towards the crystal skull, its claws tearing!
"Yesterday I could smash your head, today I can shatter your skeleton!" the giant python roared.
Zhang Yang's palm also flashed with white light.
The crystal coffin reappeared, swiftly striking towards the crystal skull.
"Heh, petty tricks, do you think this one person and one beast can stop this King? Wishful thinking!"
The crystal skull suddenly sneered.
With his skeleton restored, his strength had recovered eighty percent, and he didn't take Zhang Yang and the others seriously at all.
Boom!
The crystal skull simply threw a punch.
He directly sent the giant python flying, and Zhang Yang, unable to withstand the force of the punch, was sent flying back heavily.
Pfft!
Both the man and the beast spat blood.
They were defeated in the first exchange!
This outcome filled Zhang Yang with horror, making it impossible to accept.
The giant python's strength was even greater than his own, at least at the seventh star of the Yuanfu realm.
And Zhang Yang himself was at the fifth star of the Yuanfu realm.
The combined force of the two could not even withstand a single blow from the crystal skull!
"Again!"
Seeing the crystal skull walking towards the underground altar, Zhang Yang shouted again.
"Lü Luo, give me the stone tablet!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Luo immediately threw the stone tablet directly to Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang caught the stone tablet and felt that his connection with it was still intact.
He immediately enlarged the stone tablet, and at the same time, the crystal coffin emitted bursts of white light!
With the stone tablet in one hand and the crystal coffin in the other, Zhang Yang suppressed it downwards.
"Stop! You won't get in today!" Zhang Yang shouted.
"Roar!"
The giant python also let out a dragon's roar.
The two sharp dragon horns on its head directly collided with the crystal skull.
This time, neither Zhang Yang nor the giant python held back, unleashing their strongest power!
But!
The crystal skull felt no pressure at all, instead, his eyes gleamed with ferocity!
