The俑 were incredibly violent, their appearance far more ferocious than the giant otters above.
As soon as Yan Shouyi landed, the group of 俑 surged towards him as if they were about to devour him alive.
However, before the 俑 could charge more than a few steps, Lin Zhitong leaped down from the high platform, landing in front of them. Her Red God Umbrella swept across, its sharp tip piercing through three 俑 and severing their heads!
Without heads, the 俑 lost their strength and fell to the ground, their severed necks oozing a thick, foul-smelling green medicinal fluid.
The other 俑, unfazed by the death of their companions, immediately set their sights on Lin Zhitong.
Seeing that Lin Zhitong had just landed and had no time to change her stance, she remained unhurried, merely bending her body slightly.
The moment she bent down, Yan Shouyi, wielding his Soul Slayer Blade, charged out from behind her. With a single slash, he split one of the 俑 in half!
“Jiao Ji’s essence, Jia Yi’s spirits. Waves surge and dance, clouds and thunder quickly rise. Demons wander and know, all dissolved by thunder. Thousand, thousand severed heads, ten thousand, ten thousand cut forms. Those who follow me live, those who oppose me fall. Deviate slightly from my command, and it is like defying the heavens. Swiftly, as per the decree!”
Before the previous 俑 could fall, Yan Shouyi immediately unleashed a palm thunder, sending five or six 俑 flying backward!
Palm thunder had little effect on the giant otters, but these 俑 were evil spirits and greatly feared it.
The 俑 struck by the palm thunder were charred and riddled with cracks, also oozing the malodorous medicinal fluid, appearing to have lost their combat power.
Ma Xingping, watching from above, saw Yan Shouyi and Lin Zhitong engaging in battle and dared not stand idle. He said to Ma Jinxuan,
“Jinxuan, go check how to open the main tomb door. I’ll go help Brother Yan!”
“Okay!”
Ma Xingping released his grappling hook and landed on the ground. He carried no weapon, relying only on the pair of Mountain Climbing and Badger Digging Claws on his hands to deal with the 俑 barehanded.
Although the 俑 seemed to be cast from stone, they could not withstand Ma Xingping’s claws. With a single punch, their heads were smashed into pieces.
Ma Jinxuan, using her grappling hook, swiftly approached the main tomb door.
However, several 俑 suspended in the air suddenly reached out as Ma Jinxuan passed by and struck her to the ground!
Ma Jinxuan’s ankle was already injured. Being hit by the 俑 and falling to the ground caused a surge of blood and qi within her, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
She felt unwell and took over ten seconds to manage to stand up.
At this moment, the 俑 on the ground noticed Ma Jinxuan and frenziedly charged towards her.
Just as Ma Jinxuan thought she was doomed, Long Feicheng charged forward and, with his clumsy swordsmanship, cut down three 俑!
“Little Ma, are you alright?” Long Feicheng helped Ma Jinxuan up.
Ma Jinxuan blinked, “What did you call me?”
“I call your brother Old Ma, so you’re Little Ma. Is there a problem?” Long Feicheng asked.
Ma Jinxuan’s face darkened, “I won’t argue with you about this now!”
“Right, I’ll cover you. You run quickly!”
With that, Long Feicheng turned around with a righteous air.
However, what he saw behind him was a dense sea of 俑!
Long Feicheng immediately lost his nerve. While pushing Ma Jinxuan, he said, “No, I can’t handle this. Let’s run together!”
Ma Jinxuan: “…”
Before they could run far, their steps were halted again because, in less than half a minute of delay, they were surrounded by 俑!
The grappling hook was still attached to the rock wall, and Ma Jinxuan was unable to escape. Long Feicheng’s clumsy moves might be enough for one or two slow-moving 俑, but carving a path through this swarm was likely a fantasy.
“Brother Yan!! Help!” Long Feicheng tilted his head back and sent a flare of a plea to Yan Shouyi.
Yan Shouyi noticed the situation with Long Feicheng but was too far away and still faced a multitude of 俑.
Ma Xingping shouted, “Brother Yan, grab my grappling hook!”
Yan Shouyi looked up and saw that Ma Xingping had thrown his grappling hook, which landed precisely on a rock pillar above Long Feicheng’s head.
He exchanged a glance with Lin Zhitong. Lin Zhitong immediately opened her Red God Umbrella, and Yan Shouyi stepped onto it. Using the leverage, he grabbed the long rope of the grappling hook, flipped himself up, and raced along the rope, instantly arriving beside Long Feicheng and the others!
As Yan Shouyi landed, lightning flickered in his eyes. He spoke in a deep voice,
“Heavenly Thunder rumbles, Divine Thunder booms. Dragon Thunder rages, Water Thunder churns. Earth commands thunder and fire, lightning streaks across. Divine might unleashed, evil spirits cut down. The Emperor commands, act with utmost haste!” Da Feng Novel Network
Dragon Tiger Mountain’s Five Thunder Orthodox Method!
Silver lightning flickered around Yan Shouyi, forming a tight spiderweb that encompassed all the surrounding 俑!
But this time, Yan Shouyi’s target was not the 俑.
It was the stalactites above everyone’s heads!
BOOM!!!
The lightning flashed, shattering the stalactites above, and huge stalactites began to fall directly down!
Although the 俑 were fierce, they could not withstand the crushing blows of these stalactites, and were instantly buried by them!
Watching the scene, Yan Shouyi felt a pang of regret. He knew that each stalactite represented thousands of years of accumulation, and he had destroyed these traces of history to survive.
But he had no time to think further, as they were also within the range of the falling stalactites.
Fortunately, Lin Zhitong arrived in time and once again held up the Red God Umbrella for everyone. Yan Shouyi then used the Golden Light Incantation to enhance the umbrella’s defense.
The Five Thunder formation triggered an earthquake, shattering almost all the stalactites above.
The falling stalactites also crushed all the 俑 in the chamber. Ma Xingping and the surviving extraordinary individuals, having stood at the edges, were spared.
After a while, the tremor finally subsided. The 俑 chamber was in ruins, with rubble piled nearly three meters deep, completely altering its original appearance.
Amidst the debris, the remains of the 俑 could still be found, and the air was filled with the stench of medicinal fluid.
“Jinxuan! Brother Yan! Miss Lin!”
Ma Xingping climbed over the ruins, anxiously searching for Yan Shouyi and the others. The surviving extraordinary individuals also emerged and helped in the search.
On the rubble, they spotted a wooden sparrow, the Voodoo Master.
The Voodoo Master shouted, “They are down here!”
At the crucial moment, the Voodoo Master had hidden himself, but he had to appear afterward because only Yan Shouyi could release his soul.
Therefore, Yan Shouyi could not die!
With the Voodoo Master’s guidance, Ma Xingping and another extraordinary individual quickly moved forward and cleared the rubble pressing down on their heads.
Digging down more than a meter, they finally heard Yan Shouyi’s voice:
“That’s enough. You guys move aside, we can get out ourselves!”
The two quickly retreated, and then the pile of rocks exploded with a bang. Yan Shouyi, leading everyone, crawled out.
Of course, in such a catastrophe, everyone was covered in dust and grime.
“Brother Yan, that move of yours was really brutal. You almost made us perish with those 俑!” Long Feicheng coughed wretchedly.
Yan Shouyi sat to the side, panting, “Those 俑 are tireless. If I hadn’t done that, we would have fought for a day and a night without escaping them, and by then Boss Zhou would have succeeded.”
“Regardless, we’ve dealt with those 俑,” Lin Zhitong said, looking towards the main tomb. “I wonder how things are in there.”
Everyone slowly stood up, confirming they had no serious injuries. The scene had been quite terrifying, and they needed some time to calm their nerves.
Seeing that everyone was safe, Ma Xingping breathed a sigh of relief, “I’ll go see how to open the main tomb door.”
“Let’s all go together,” Yan Shouyi said.
The group climbed over the ruins and approached the main tomb door. Fortunately, it didn't take much effort to find the mechanism.
The mechanism, just like the stone door before it, had a small indentation in the same position, but this time, the tiger-shaped ring was replaced by a snake-shaped ring.
Yan Shouyi took the snake-shaped ring from Lin Zhitong, inserted it into the indentation, took a deep breath, and then slowly turned it…
